More than 350 pieces of automobilia and 25 collectible motorcycles offered from one private collection
The Collection of the late Ron Haigh spans rare signs, showroom pieces and landmark motorcycles
Offered at Iconic Auctioneers’ Iconic Sale at Race Retro this February
Iconic Auctioneers will present one of the most comprehensive single-vendor collections seen in recent years when more than 350 items of automobilia and 25 collectible motorcycles cross the block at the Iconic Sale at Race Retro in February. The Collection of the late Ron Haigh brings together museum-quality memorabilia and important motorcycles, all offered without reserve from one enthusiast owner, reaffirming Iconic Auctioneers’ reputation as purveyors of automotive excellence in every area of the market.
Estimated at more than £300,000 in total, the automobilia offering includes over 350 carefully sourced pieces, ranging from original enamel signs to period neon and illuminated advertising. Standout lots include an original Brough Superior showroom clock (£3,000 - £5,000), a large neon Buick sign (£7,000 - £10,000), a Gilera ‘Servizio’ enamel sign (£3,000 - £4,000) and a Maico shop sign light box (£3,000 - £4,000). Also featured is a Vincent illuminated shop sign used at the 1951 Earl’s Court Motorcycle Show (£4,000 - £5,000), a rare survivor from a defining moment in post-war motorcycling culture.
Alongside the automobilia, the sale includes Haigh’s personal collection of 25 motorcycles. Leading the group are his Vincent Black Shadow, Black Night, Rapide and Comet, machines that sit at the very top of post-war British motorcycling. Further highlights include BMW, Adler and Zundapp combinations, plus an ex-works Adler, offering collectors a focused selection that reflects both depth of knowledge and long-term enthusiasm.
Rob Hubbard, Managing Director and Principal Auctioneer at Iconic Auctioneers, said:
“Collections like Ron Haigh’s are built over decades and tell a clear story about passion, patience and knowledge. To present more than £300k of automobilia from a single owner, alongside 25 important motorcycles, at Race Retro is a real privilege. It is exactly the sort of opportunity that draws serious collectors to our sales.”
