Each of the three different auctions saw some very competitive bidding with buyers jostling to get their hands on very sought after parts. The top selling lot in part 3 was a Norton Motorcycle Frame which sold for $2,440. It was another Norton piece that was the highest selling lot in part 4 with a NORTON Gear Box selling for $854 and a Selection of Vintage Motorcycle Clutches topped all other lots in part 5 selling for $1,006.
