Three vehicles owned by Hairy Bikers presenter Simon King will be sold online this week.
For sale via Car & Classic, the lots include a Volkswagen California Type 2 Westfalia campervan and two motorcycles.
The Volkswagen was exported from America and has undergone a complete restoration since being in the TV star’s ownership.
Enhancements include all-new suspension, brakes, steering and a fuel system. The exterior has been resprayed and the interior has been restored, including the addition of modern electronic gadgets and UK three-pin plugs.
Simon King’s ‘Cosmic King’ motorcycle is also for sale. Its design is unique and was overseen by King for a publicity campaign. As such, it has only covered 750 miles since being built in 2010.
Car & Classic describes its 1,640cc V-Twin engine and belt-driven five-speed transmission as being in ‘almost-new condition’.
The final vehicle offered for auction is ‘Purple Haze’. This chopper motorcycle started life as a charity project and was bought by King via auction to help secure funds for The Archway Project.
It features a 1,638cc V-Twin engine and a six-speed transmission, and also includes vertical exhausts that finish at ear level. It has covered less than 1,000 miles since it was created in 2015.
The online-only auction for the Cosmic King motorbike ends on 3 August at 8pm, while both Purple Haze and the T2 Volkswagen Campervan end on 5 August at 5.45pm.
