Iconic Auctioneers has announced that motorcycle racer Maria Costello MBE is joining its team as a motorcycle consignment role.
International road racer Costello will bring more than 30 years of experience and knowledge of modern and classic motorcycles to work closely with vendors on consignments, values and presentation.
Costello was the first woman ever to stand on the podium at the Manx Grand Prix in a solo race and she has set a Guinness World Record at the Isle of Man TT. She is also the only woman to have competed in both solo and sidecars races at the Isle of Man TT.
Mark Bryan, Motorcycle Manager at Iconic Auctioneers, said: Maria is hugely respected across every corner of the motorcycle world. Her experience as a racer, her knowledge of classic and modern machines and her reputation for straight talking advice make her a perfect fit for Iconic Auctioneers. She understands what matters to owners and collectors, and she will be a real asset to anyone considering selling a motorcycle with us.’
Maria Costello added: ‘Motorcycles are about far more than the machines themselves. They carry history, stories and personal meaning. Iconic Auctioneers shares that understanding and makes the process clear and approachable. I am looking forward to working with owners and collectors and helping great motorcycles find their next custodians.’
