Shepton Mallet Autojumble - Vintage and classic motorcycle

The VMCC Somerset autojumble. Always a good chance to catch up with folks. Arrived late this time and spent no money which was a result in a way for myself, less so for the stallholders. Below a selection of machinery that caught the eye on my wanderings.

Magnificent BSA J34-11 from 1934. 500cc ohv v-twin. The chap was asking strong money at �32,000. It wasn't sold by the end of the day. Putting it into perspective It might not have the name but is probably every bit as good a riders bike as a Brough 680 for a third of the price.

BSA G33-13 1933. 986cc v-twin side valve on the same stand. �18,500 was the asking price for this one. A very tidy example so not unreasonable. It seemed to be unsold at the end of the day too. Mind, there's not many folks come along with that sort of money to spend on a day out.

Sweet late vintage Levis on Pete's Bikes stand. �5,250.

A pair of pressed steel framed Coventry Eagles. Not so long ago these were very hard bikes to shift. Now their time has come. I've always liked their thirties modernist looks. Pity they didn't stretch the concept out to a larger engined machine though. The upswept pipes sports model was sold with an asking price of �3,250. The other one stayed with the owner.

Very lovely Norton framed Nourish engined special in the car park. Love the paint wear on the frame tubes.

I parked my Beemer up next to this 500cc Terrot. I like the clear top to the oil filler cap.

Another special. Took me a while to work out what it is. Essentially a Triton. Norton featherbed frame modified to monoshock, leading link forks and a Triumph engine. All topped off by a Metisse petrol tank. Nice outfit.
