CLASSIC Norton Manx motorcycles will be sold at a Dorset auction next month. 

Sherborne auctioneer Charterhouse will host its classic and vintage motorcycle auction at Haynes on October 3. 

A 1950s Norton Manx fitted with the legendary 500cc engine is estimated at £20,000 to £22,000, followed by an early 1960s Norton Manx 350cc at £12,000 to £14,000.  

Auctioneer George Beale said: “We have a fantastic selection of nearly 100 vintage and classic motorcycles already consigned dating from the 1920s through to modern sports bikes estimated from £1,000 to £40,000. 

“But for me Norton Manx bikes with TT pedigree the 1950s and 1960s still stands out today.” 

Charterhouse is now accepting further entries for auction.
