MOTORCYCLES: "Robert White loved his motorcycles, and this is no more evident than when we look at the incredible machines he had in his collection," said Ben Walker, Bonhams Head of Motorcycles. "Robert had his own personal motoring museum and workshop where he took great pleasure in showing people his carefully curated items. He was a true enthusiast who appreciated each and every part of these exhilarating machines. Motorcycles featured in the collection include: - c.1929 Megola 640cc Touring Model, estimated at £120,000-140,000 - MV Agusta 500cc 3-Cylinder Grand Prix recreation, estimate £80,000-100,000 - MV Agusta 500cc 4-Cylinder Grand Prix recreation, estimate £70,000-90,0000 - 1974 Ducati 750SS, estimated at £60,000-70,000 - 1951 Vincent 998cc Series C Black Shadow, estimated at £50,000-70,000 MOTOR CARS: The collection features four lovingly maintained motor cars, including a superb 1930 Bentley 4½-Litre Tourer. Just 670 4½ Litre Bentleys were built between 1927 and 1931, with this particular model offered carrying the popular Le Mans-style Tourer coachwork, made famous from the Le Mans 24-Hour victory in 1928. Motor cars featured in the collection include: - 1930 Bentley 4½-Litre Le Mans-style Tourer, estimated at £200,000-250,000 - 1959 AC Ace-Bristol Roadster, estimated at £180,000-220,000 - 1958 AC Ace Roadster, estimated at £120,000-140,000 - Pur Sang 'Type 51' Sports Two Seater, estimated at £90,000-110,000 WATCHES: Dr. George Daniels C.B.E (1926–2011) is regarded by many as having been the greatest watchmaker of the last 250 years. In the 1990s, he relinquished some custodianship of his brand to Roger Smith, the man who would continue Daniels' legacy long after he'd gone. Smith was the only watchmaker Daniels ever collaborated with, and, working together, they produced a number of watches, including the very last piece to bear the 'Daniels' name, the George Daniels 35th Anniversary wristwatch. It is of no surprise then, that Robert White, an enthusiast of mechanics and engineering, possessed one of these rare, beautiful wristwatches. The watch is now offered at an estimate of £70,000-100,000.
