In recent months, we have told you about some of the most relevant frames that will be part of the great auction carried out by Iconic Auctioneers, next Sunday, November 15on the occasion of NEC Classic Motor Show which will be held in Birmingham. Among them, the iconic RC173 with which Hailwood won the 1966 350 cc World Championship stands out without a doubt.
But also other track machines like this Aprilia RS-GP 2020 MotoGP, belonging to Aleix Espargaró’s personal collection and with which he himself competed in the world championship that season. We are talking about the same example that was already auctioned last February in the always legendary auction of “The Iconic Sale at Race Retro 2026”, although it evidently did not finally reach the minimum reserve price.
A good “handful” of Ducati at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026
As we can see, the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 has prepared a very special variety of track motorcycles for us. In addition to those already mentioned, participants in this macro auction will have the possibility of obtaining, for example, a Norton JAP Wotan 1968built by Francis Williams and piloted by Ernie Woods or a Norton project “Triton” T110 from 1968. Not only that, the number of Ducati on offer at the event is also notable.
In addition to a very special track quartet, both this 2006 Ducati Paul Smart 1000LE and this other Ducati V4S Lamborghini Special Clienti Streetfighter 1,104cc – Zero kilometers (2024) are very striking and delicious. But there is even more, since the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 will give us the opportunity to acquire one of the 300 units of Ducati 916 Senna II from 1997. In addition, we are talking about an unregistered unit and “unused in its entire life, with barely two kilometers traveled since new”…a real “Barn Find” manual.
Feel like Bostrom, Corser, Checa or Rutter
Any of the Ducati already mentioned are true objects of worship these days, but even more so are the four track examples that are also part of the catalog that the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 has. We are talking about motorcycles with pedigree used by riders of the caliber of Bostrom, Corser, Checa or Rutter. Specifically, these four competition machines ready to be part of your private collection:
