£20k for a 1970 Raleigh Traveller? No problem.

The bike which has Sturmey Archer three speed hub was the transport in London for Princess Diana before she became involved with Charles. It was then deemed 'beneath her' and sold for a few quid.

It is now up for auction and expected to sell for the mentioned figure.

Some people have more money than sense, is the provenance cast iron?

I think they've made a mistake and added three zeroes too many...

Diana was driving around London in a Mini Metro when she met Charles.

is that particular shade Royal Blue?

It was sold in 2018 for £9,200, so someone's hoping to more-than-double their money in 3 years.
Hopefully it's being advertised as Eroica-ready!

[ebikeerwidnes]

So it was sold due to being shameful
