Among the headline lots for this year’s auction are two exceptional motorcycles:

1985 Ducati Mike Hailwood Replica – A stunning homage to Mike Hailwood’s legendary Isle of Man TT comeback victory in 1978. This rare and meticulously maintained bike comes from a private collection and features its signature red, green, and white livery, along with performance components like Campagnolo wheels and Brembo brakes.

2004 Confederate Hellcat – A true American powerhouse, this rare bike combines avant-garde design with exceptional performance. With fewer than 50 ever made, the Hellcat is powered by a 124ci S&S V-Twin engine delivering 140bhp and 145 lb-ft of torque, making it an irresistible collector’s piece.

Entries for the auction are still open, and more extraordinary machines are expected to join the line-up. Whether you’re looking to bid on a dream bike or simply experience the thrill of the auction, this event is a must-visit highlight of The Bristol Classic MotorCycle Show.
