An upcoming charity auction to raise money for the 11-year-old daughter of popular racer and journalist Gus Scott, who was tragically killed in this year's Senior Isle of Man TT race, has attracted an impressive array of MotoGP memorabilia.

Meanwhile, Valentino Rossi fans will surely be tempted by the chance to own a special red, white and black 'Yamaha Japan' retro livered sweatshirt - signed by the seven-times world champion at the season-ending Valencia Grand Prix - or a signed Rossi baseball cap.
Another Rossi offer is the chance to buy a huge computer generated oil painting-effect print of the Italian at Laguna Seca.
Further MotoGP related lots include; Colin Edwards kit; helmets signed by John Hopkins, Nicky Hayden, Kevin Schwantz, Kenny Roberts, Shinya Nakano and Edwards; limited edition prints signed by Schwantz, Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey; Chris Vermeulen's Camel Honda clothing and Marco Melandri's boots and gloves.
However, one of the lots sure to be of most interest to collectors is the chance to buy the bodywork from the now extinct Aprilia RS3 Cube of Jeremy McWilliams.
Meanwhile, among the celebrities in attendance at the event will be former MotoGP rider Neil Hodgson, who will be making sure his Austin Ducati AMA SBK leathers go for the highest price possible.
The auction will take place on Sunday November 27th, from 5pm 'til late, at Club Amadeus, in Northallerton, North Yorks (UK), with the only accepted payment by cheques with a bank card, Paypal or cash.
