The blaze, believed to have started from an electrical fault, ripped through his property three weeks ago, erasing decades of work and treasured collections. For over 40 years, Ivan curated and crafted “unusual, quirky and a bit radical” motorcycles, many of which have gained recognition on television and in magazines.
