As you may have heard, there are big collector car shows in Monterey California at the end of the summer. The most famous in the Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance. That is where you have multi-million dollar cars shown... cars that are restored to perfection. At the same time, there are several auctions for classic cars nearby, run by the big auto auction houses. You might be able to buy that Bugatti that you've been looking for, or you might be outbid by a Sultan of Brunei. What many people don't know is that they also have motorcycle auctions around the same time. Vintage motorcycles are getting to be more valuable, and wealthy people are starting to collect them as they do with cars. Can't afford that Bugatti? How about a $250,000 Brough Superior? The auction houses don't just sell blue chip vintage vehicles, they also sell more pedestrian models. Scooters slip in from time to time. I highlighted a few that were at the big Vegas auctions in January. This time, there is just one European scooter that I could find in Monterey. It is this very nice Lambretta LD.
