Here`s something you definitely don`t stumble upon every day. In a warehouse in Belgium, 11 new 1975 Norton Commando motorbikes were found still sitting idly in the crate for all of these years – awaiting final assembly!
These motorbikes were found after the death of Motoshop Podevyn`s owner in Aalst, Belgium. Amazingly, these motorbikes are not even a portion of the entire collection found there.

Apart from the 11 Norton Commando motorbikes, a Peter Williams Norton-powered racer was found. Elsewhere in the collection, a 1989 Matchless G80a, T160 Triumph, many Bonnevillles, a huge piles of seats, wheels and many racks of new-old-stock gas tanks can be found as well.
In this auction, there were up to 400 lots offered. Imagine all the money these specimens will bring?
According to a report, the cheapest Norton Commando went for around $21,000, the most expensive for $23,000. One matchless G80 was sold for $12,000. Unfortunately, we don`t have information how much money generated all of the pieces sold at this auction.
