A 1917 Phelon and Moore 500cc motorbike which Robert Plant drove and used at his Jennings Farm property in Worcestershire will be sold at auction later this month.

The vintage motorbike, which Plant was famously photographed with in 1970 along with his dog Strider, has been rediscovered and will be offered for sale by Laidlaw Auctioneers and Valuers in Carlisle on August 29.

The vintage Royal Flying Corps motorbike includes documents such as its logbook which confirm that the motorbike is the same vehicle Plant was photographed with.

The motorbike has been given an estimate of between £15,000 and £25,000 by the auction firm.

It’s unclear who owned the motorbike between Plant’s use of it in 1970 and today’s sale. Plant did not own the bike at the time he was photographed with it.

Plant brought the Jennings Farm property in 1969 and it became a retreat for him during the 1970s. The original title for “Bron-Y-Aur Stomp” was “Jennings Farm Blues”.
