A rare motorcycle is turning heads ahead of an upcoming auction in Somerset.
The 1980 Quasar, one of just 21 ever made, has been entered into the Charterhouse classic motorcycle auction taking place on Thursday, October 9 at the Haynes Motor Museum.
George Beale, head of motorcycles at Charterhouse, said: "Distinctive and memorable is certainly one way to describe it."
Designed by Malcolm Newell and Ken Leaman in the 1970s, the British-built Quasar features a feet-forward riding position, a semi-enclosed body, and a futuristic roof and windscreen.
Despite its innovation, high production costs and limited appeal meant only 21 were ever built.
The Quasar is estimated to fetch between £6,000 and £7,000.
Charterhouse is inviting further entries for the auction and Mr Beale can be contacted for enquiries or more information.
He can be reached on 01935 812277 or by emailing bikes@charterhouse-auction.com.
