A lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, Keith Mason started working in his local bike shop at the age of 15 before eventually branching out on his own a few years later. From humble beginnings selling secondhand bikes from a small shop, Keith built up the Moto GB empire to become one of the biggest motorcycle retailers and importers in the UK. The group has now grown to include 15 retail shops and is responsible for importing 9 different brands, also supplying many independent dealers, including QJ Motor, Voge, Lambretta, FB Mondial, Morbidelli, SYM and Hero. Keith sadly passed away in 2023, but in recent years he had put together a fantastic collection of his favourite classic bikes, ranging from a humble Honda Express to a beautiful Egli Vincent, documenting his lifetime in the trade. We are pleased to offer all 31 bikes from this collection in our March sale.

Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. The 3 cylinder 750cc Trident was essentially one and a half 500cc twins and proved to be the last success story for the company, with the bike going on to dominate the early years of the Formula 750 race series. This T150V was built in the Meridan factory on the 214th November 1973 and dispatched to dealers Coburn and Hughes soon after. Restored in the past as a bike to be ridden, not just looked at, it is painted in a wonderfully fitting 1970s metallic purple finish. To add to the sporting theme, it is fitted with alloy rims, a single sports seat and a Piper 3 into 1 exhaust that I'm sure makes an impressive sound. This machine is being sold as a collector’s item, part of Keith's stunning private collection of Vintage and Classic machines, which have all been dry stored for several years and will require recommissioning before use. The engine no. NGO4116, the frame number is not clearly visible under a good layer of paint, supplied with a TRO3C dating letter and a current V5C.
