The Adam White Collection, comprising 80 motorcycles—most of them off-road—the Adam White Collection will be featured in the Manor Park Classics auction on February 13, 2026, at Manor Park North near Runcorn, Cheshire. This remarkable collection represents only part of the company’s first motorcycle sale of the year.
Showcasing an extraordinary variety of off-road machines, the collection reflects one man’s lifelong passion for motorcycling beyond the beaten path. It includes bikes designed exclusively for trails as well as versatile models built for both tarmac and trail. Most of the motorcycles date from the 1970s and 1980s, including several Eastern European CZ models built to military specifications. Notable examples include an exceptionally original Honda Elsinore CR250M and three Yamaha ITs—one believed to be a unique pre-production model. Among the highlights is a Lyndon Poskitt-built Honda 450 Raid, a veteran of the 2014 Dakar Rally.
Jon Turton, Motorcycle Specialist at Manor Park Classics, remarked:
“Sometimes you get a phone call to the Manor Park Classics North’s office that is a little out of the ordinary and this impressive life-long collection had been amassed over the course of decades by Mr Adam White – a large number of which we expect to be offered at ‘no reserve’, once catalogued”.
The bikes are all on the Manor Park Classics website at www.manorparkclassics.com.
Manor Park Classics
Founded in 2020 by Stephen J. Ashworth FRICS, Manor Park Classics aim to open four or five auction houses at various strategic locations across the UK so that everyone has access to the three-stage sales process, 90% sale rates, and the unrivalled service that Manor Park Classics offers for all buyers and sellers of classic cars and bikes.
Providing experience strength, and the backbone of the business, Manor Park Classics’ chairman & CEO Stephen J. Ashworth FRICS is also chairman, CEO, and a major shareholder of Hurstwood Holdings, who have a £400m national property portfolio. A joint founder and major shareholder of Arrowmere Capital and Queens Square Capital, all three are individual property investors and developers in their own right, with Stephen and Hurstwood having numerous awards for regeneration and business success. He is also a chartered surveyor, receiving his fellowship in July 2016.
Over three decades in business, Stephen J. Ashworth has been involved in many companies ranging from commercial property investment and development, house building, contaminated land reclamation, timber import & distribution, security & CCTV installation, motor dealerships and medical, and has turned his attention to the classic vehicle industry and a long-held passion. He has brought together a team whose strength is in their diverse and substantial experience of the classic motorcar and motorcycle community.
Since its first auction in April 2021, Manor Park Classics (MPC) has enjoyed remarkable growth and gained an enviable reputation among buyers and sellers for the quality of its sales process, and well above average sale rates, which frequently achieve 90%.
Operating from its purpose-built, 30,000sq ft premises near Runcorn, Cheshire, since 2020, much of MPC’s success has been attributed to its unique three-stage sales process, with extended pre-auction viewing days, bidding by phone, online, or in person at auction, and a commitment to closing deals post-sale with no deadline. A soon to be completed mezzanine floor will make the Cheshire location the largest indoor classic vehicle auction hall in the UK.
In 2025 MPC’s outright purchase of Barons gave it a foothold in southern England through one of the UK’s oldest-established names in classic car auctioneering. Founded by Tony Cavell in 1998, Barons Manor Park Classics runs monthly sales of classic cars and motorbikes on the second Saturday of each month, with, on average, 50 lots consigned to each auction. Operating from fixed-venue premises in Marchwood, on the edge of the New Forest, Barons Manor Park Classics is seen as a perfect complement to MPC’s northern business.
