4.b Bonhams Motoring Auction Catalogs

A selection of good quality Bonhams auction catalogs, covering all the major Bonhams motoring auctions from 2008 to the present day. I have a subscription from Bonhams for these catalogs - produced from high quality glossy paper, with excellent quality photographs (I believe they normally cost £25 each). They are a good gauge of historic market values - but are also an excellent read and provide very high quality and useful photographs for restoration purposes.

However, I am now running out of space, so some need to go!

To help, in each description I list some of the more interesting vehicles in that aucton, which I think might be relevent to reader's of this site. I display the description in the thumbnail description, so you only need to scroll down the page - no need to bother going into the detail listing unless you wish to purchase teh catalog.

Catalogs already sold will show as out of stock, but are kept there for reference - in case you were looking for a particular catalog and can see they had already sold. If they do not show on this listing, please email us, I may not have listed the catalog yet, but have it in stock.

Update 2023: I am now re-using old Item numbers for caalogs that had previously sold . . . so every now and again sold catalogs will disappear, you can still email us to check if you have a particularl requirement (some are still unlisted!)

By the way - Bonhams are an excellent auction house. I have bought from them myself and will probably use them when it becomes time for me to pass on some of my bikes.

Note: These catalogs show estimated auction price the vehicle was expected to sell for, but you can go to Bonhams web site to find auction results for any of these auction catalogs: http://www.bonhams.com/results/#/r1=100&m1=1
