The upcoming Aste Bolaffi auction for Mopeds, Scooters, and Motorcycles is scheduled for April 29th, featuring a catalog of 152 lots that will thrill enthusiasts. This sale promises to be particularly varied, offering a wide selection of some of the most representative motorcycles and scooters from the 1970s and 1980s. The core of the catalog will be Enduro and off-road bikes. The most significant representation comes from Husqvarna, the legendary Swedish off-road brand that dominated race tracks in the 1970s. The 250 CR Mikkola replica (Lot 56) and the 250 CR Cross (Lot 60) stand out for their quality and originality. This unique collection is completed by a substantial number of lots, ranging from the CR 360 to the CR 390 and the rare 8-speed models, all in various states of conservation. Italian bikes such as the Fantic Caballero 124 (Lot 32), the SWW 125 (Lot 115), and the TM 125 mx (Lot 119) are prominently featured alongside more recent and high-performance Japanese motocross bikes: the Kawasaki KX 250 (Lot 68) and the Yamaha YZ 250 (Lot 126). Also noteworthy is the rare VOR 400 Cross (Lot 124) in excellent condition. The Gilera 250 Cross (Lot 40) and the 125 C2 (Lot 41) are also included and are sure to ignite the passion of enthusiasts. Italian and foreign street motorcycles are also well represented. The offerings start with a selection of classic Bavarian boxers: the BMW R 60/2 (Lot 14), R 75/5 (Lot 15), R 90/6 (Lot 16), and R 100/7 (Lot 17), covering the German brand's best production period. The British selection features a stunning BSA A 65 (Lot 19) and a Triumph Trident (Lot 122). However, the true gems are Italian and Japanese: a magnificent Ducati Scrambler 450 (Lot 30), original and excellently restored, stands out with its bright yellow livery. The top lot of the sale, however, is a rare and exceptionally preserved Honda CB 750 Four K 0 (Lot 44), a one-owner vehicle with a pristine history of use by a passionate collector. Equally important is the section dedicated to Italian scooters, such as the rare Piaggio Vespa 200 Rally (Lot 103), the elegant GS 150 (Lot 100), and a peculiar 150 with a sidecar (Lot 101). The racing motorcycles include a near-unique MBA 125 GP (Lot 76) that has raced on circuits across Europe, and an artisanal Garelli 50 GP (Lot 33) with its characteristic engine that revs over 10,000 rpm. Additionally, the MMZ M 72 (Lot 75) with its troubled past, a witness to the events of World War II, is featured. As usual, classic Italian bikes from the 1950s and 1960s are present: Moto Guzzi, Gilera, ISO, Demm, Moto Morini, and others. In this section, the rare Moto Morini 124 Corsaro Regolarità Country (Lot 87) from an important private collection is notable. The traditional "cinquantini" (50cc mopeds) are also present, including Morini Corsarino and various series of Piaggio Ciao models. Among the curiosities is an Oxobike buggy with an aggressive off-road setup (Lot 96). Finally, there is the "Restoration Projects" section, which is full of curious and unusual motorcycles, engines, and accessories: most notably, the two Husqvarna 8-speed models (Lot 147) and Lots 127 to 135, featuring two-stroke engines from various manufacturers.

The Finder of Lost Automotive Souls – Classic Cars, Barn Finds & Vintage Vehicles Automotive archaeology is the art of uncovering the past through its mechanical treasures. Every classic car, barn find, or vintage vehicle tucked away in a garage, barn, or under a tarp tells a story about its engineering, its owners, and the journeys it has taken. My mission is to uncover those stories, preserve them, and connect these cars with their next caretaker. As I travel the backroads of Connecticut, New England, and beyond, I discover hidden automotive gems, from American muscle cars and antique trucks to rare European sports cars and collectible classics. Some are untouched time capsules, others are restoration projects waiting for a new lease on life. I document each vehicle’s story in photos and words, and whenever possible, I help save them from rust and decay by placing them with passionate new owners. For some vehicles, this means acting as a donor car to help another classic live again. For others, it means a full restoration and return to the road. Sometimes the cars are in running condition and simply need help finding the right buyer. In every case, I ensure each car is matched with someone who values it, whether they’re a collector, restorer, or enthusiast. If you own a classic car, barn find, special interest car, or vintage vehicle you’d like to sell, I can help you reach serious buyers locally, nationally, and internationally. My network of collectors and enthusiasts is always searching for the next automotive treasure, from pre-war antiques to 1970s and 1980s icons, and everything in between. In essence, I help people sell their classic cars and keep automotive history alive, one vehicle, one story, one soul at a time.
