Motorcycle History Under the Hammer

24 rare vintage motorcycles are guesting the auction house. We invite you to take a fascinating look into the pioneering era and aesthetics of motorcycle history as we open our doors for a preview, followed by the spectacular auction of this unique collection.

On 30 June 3 pm, we will host a special Live Auction featuring 24 motorcycles from the period 1908-1964. You can place online bids already from 12 June. From the same date until the auction day, you are also welcome to visit the preview at Nørgaardsvej 3 in Lyngby, where the remarkable collection will be on display.

“This is an unparalleled opportunity to acquire a piece of motorcycle history – collected and curated with love and technical expertise over many decades,” says Lars Amorøe, specialist in mechanical cultural heritage at Bruun Rasmussen.

Ellehammer, 1908 – Single-cylinder, 4-stroke, 330 cc, approx. 2¾ HP. A rare Danish pioneer valued at DKK 100,000-150,000.

From a Danish Private Collection

The motorcycles come from one of the Nordic region’s most renowned collectors of classic motorcycles, Michael Paepcke. Over the years, he has built a reputation as a relentless collector with a keen eye for both authenticity and craftsmanship precision. This is the first time his entire collection of motorcycles, mainly from Denmark, England, and Sweden, will be presented publicly – and the last chance to acquire them. The 24 marvels are characterized by an exceptionally high quality and restoration standard – each motorcycle carefully maintained down to the smallest detail.

A Collection for Motorcycle Enthusiasts and Aesthetes

Even for those without a petrol in their blood, the collection is captivating. The classic lines, sculptural engine blocks, and meticulous craftsmanship tell a story that goes far beyond racing and mechanics. It is cultural heritage in metal form, where design, technology, and nostalgia come together. The collection appeals not only to die-hard motorcycle collectors but also to design lovers and museums seeking a unique exhibit with history and character.

Husqvarna 145, 1915 – V-twin, 500 cc, approx. 5 HP. A Swedish classic estimated at DKK 90,000-120,000.

Everyone is welcome to come by and experience a genuine piece of motorcycle history!
