Where can I buy a Raleigh bike for less than £20K ?

Possibly here. Up for auction this morning in Battle, East Sussex.

Lady Di’s old ride, a Raleigh Traveller with authentication papers. Estimate £15-20K ....

That's a lot of money to sniff a saddle.

I know my mum and dad had a pair of his'n'hers Raleigh Travelers of about the same vintage. Both with dynamo lights too. I'm sure they're still there at home, albeit stashed under a tarp with myriad other junk. If they're worth that much my dad might just be persuaded to part with them...

Hello Harry? Or is that William? I can never tell you two apart ....

I thought Lady Di's old ride was a different colour?

"Lucky old saddle!"

£15-20K turned out to be a bit of an under-estimate. Don't forget commission also, so the buyer was in for approximately £60K.



Not a bad result for the vendor who (allegedly) picked the bike up from a friend of the Spencer family in 2008 for £210...
