| Graham Coxon and the 2004 Triumph Bonneville, estimated at £1,800 - £2,600 |
Graham Coxon, British musician and lead guitarist for Blur, is donating seven of his prized motorcycles for sale through Bonhams auctioneers, with proceeds to benefit the UK’s leading children’s charity, the NSPCC.
The motorcycles will be sold as part of Bonhams Autumn Stafford Sale, an annual event taking place at the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show, held on 19th October 2014.
The collection stretches across the past fifty years, from a 1962 Vespa 200CC VBB (£2,000-£3,000), to a 2010 Honda CB1300 Super Four (£3,000-£4000).

Coxon commented:
“These bikes have taken me on a lot of wonderful adventures up and down the country. As a parent, it seems fitting that they should be sold to benefit the NSPCC’s important work in supporting and protecting children all over the UK.”
The star lot of the collection, a 1968 Triumph Trophy 650, was comprehensively restored by the Bike Shed M.S, and upon completion went on to win the ‘Best Classic’ award at the 2001 NCC South Cambridgeshire Custom Show. Coxon purchased the Trophy in October 2002, and has covered only a few hundred miles since. Described as in generally excellent condition, the Triumph is available to the highest bidder, with an estimate of £6,000-£8,000.

Paul Farthing, Director of Fundraising at the NSPCC, commented:
“We are delighted that Graham has chosen the NSPCC to be the sole beneficiary of his exciting motorcycle auction. The money raised will help us to continue our vital work helping to protect children and prevent abuse through projects and services including ChildLine. On behalf of all the vulnerable children we work with, I would like to say a big thank you to Graham for his support.”
