Here’s a link to an earlier post of one I caught at Daytona a few years back:
A 1955 Vincent 998cc Black Prince Project broke the world record for a Black Prince sold at auction, securing £91,100, almost four times its estimate
This weekend Bonhams annual Summer Classic Sale saw £2.4 million of automotive classics go under the hammer.
A 1955 Vincent 998cc Black Prince Project created a bidding frenzy, as two gentlemen on the phone battled for their most coveted item. Both bidders had a personal attachment to the bike; one having owned a Black Knight in his youth but always yearned for the superior Black Prince, the other (the eventual winner) sharing a birth year with the bike, and wanting to gift himself the Prince for his birthday.
The high performance motorcycle project eventually sold for almost four times its estimate at £91,100, becoming the top lot of the motorcycle sale and setting a world record for a Black Prince sold at auction.

The remains of a prince went for a king’s ransom.
If I was gonna drop that kind of money, it had better run and be rideable right off the auction block. That much dosh for a few boxes of parts? No thanks, man. That’s just insane.
