Bonhams will offer a 1972 Husqvarna 250 motocrosser formerly owned by Steve McQueen at its October 10–11 Autumn Stafford Sale. Offered without reserve and estimated at £30,000–£50,000, the bike’s provenance is central to its appeal.
A 1972 build date alone would not make this unique; other competition bikes from the period survive. What changes the historical weight is that McQueen genuinely spent time riding. Celebrity ownership should not replace scrutiny of frame numbers, ownership documents and restoration history. A no-reserve auction will expose how the market values that evidence.

A Brough Superior's in the same sale too, that one interests me more
What does 'no reserve' actually mean?
Really want to go to Stafford in October
What's £50k in yen again
At current rates that's close to 10 million yen
Just being McQueen's bike bumps the value way up
No reserve means it could actually go for cheap though
