Warranty

H&H is acting as the agent of the Seller in offering his lot for sale by auction. We cannot and do not inspect each lot in detail to verify the Seller’s description - often we only see it shortly before the Sale. Therefore, we cannot and do not take responsibility for the condition of the lot or the accuracy of its description.

Lot(s) will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and reserves. Where more than one commission bid is submitted at the same winning amount, the commission bid submitted to the Auctioneer first will be the winning bid.

Please note, if lot(s) are not removed by then the standard charges as stated in our Terms and Conditions will apply.

Vehicle Identity and Competition History

Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue.

The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the frame or engine number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that

is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one frame, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.

1953 Lambretta 125D Racer

Reg No: 755 UYW

CC: 125 MOT: Exempt

Frame No: 125D 028359

Engine No: LD125477206CC

• Previous Weston Lambretta Museum scooter

• One of the limited edition series of ‘Red Devil’ hand-built racers

• Good working condition

We present here Red Devil No. 14, in the style of the MilanTaranto racing scooters of the 1950’s. We believe it was gifted to the Weston Lambretta Museum in 2017 and has only clocked-up 3km since the build. Based on a Model D the engine is a LD125 case. We have spoken to Howard Chambers who has verified this scooter, with parts including; friction suspension stiffeners, original Biemme rear light accessory, quality racing seat, original Dellorto carburettor with trumpet air intake, 10 inch wheel conversions and a front mudguard number plate crest. This is a very attractive racing style Lambretta from a well known but limited edition series. We were able to see the scooter running at the time of consignment and it sounded very good. She comes with a Dating Certificate from the Vintage Motor Scooter Club and would certainly stand-out in any Lambretta collection. Offered with a V5.

c.1958 Moto Rumi Formichino

Tipo Sport 102

Reg No: Unregistered

CC: 125

MOT: Exempt

Frame No: 31473

Engine No: 26631

• Part of the Mike Webster collection

• In original condition

• Appearing complete

• An excellent project for restoration or conservation

• Sold as viewed and with no documentation

With Piaggio and Inoccenti showing success with their scooters it was an obvious decision to get involved with smaller wheeled machines. Whilst their first scooter, the Scoiattolo, proved to handle well and was a very practical machine, Rumi needed a scooter design more in tune with the times (1950s). The Formichino addressed this and the aluminium bodied small wheeled range is so unique that it demands attention for its looks and performance. These were the quickest 125cc factory produced scooters of the time and were available in Standard, Sport and Bol d’Or versions. With an enthusiastic international following Rumi scooters are very collectible today.

This Tipo Sport appears to be in a totally unrestored original condition. We believe it is a c.1958 machine due to the 2 part rear body and the Tipo Sport specification. Mike Webster is one of the longest standing members and is the official historian of the VMSC (Vintage Motor Scooter club). He has had several books published including Classic Scooters (Paragon, 1997) and Motor Scooters (Shire, 1986).

• One owner from new with provenance and history

• Original Brown buff logbook present

• One of only an estimated 28 Model G survivors in the world*

Only 3,299 Douglas Vespa G models were produced and all in 1954 (much less than the Rod Model) and only an estimated 28 survive today. *Source: VVC Veteran Vespa club. We present here ‘Guinevere’ a magnificent and untouched Model G, originally sold new by Kensington Scooters (the original bill of sale is with the scooter). Every invoice, in the short time the scooter was on the road, has been retained. An extensive history file is present with this time warp scooter. Some of those miles were taken up with a trip to France and Germany, which is documented and also evidenced with the mounting of a large number of regional transfer and period stickers on the inside of the leg shield. The engine does turn over (not seized) but no attempt has been made to start it. Guinevere was last taxed in 1960 and at that point was laid up in a garage for 62 years before being discovered earlier this year. Many of the accessories are still with the scooter, including the incredibly rare original floor mounted auxiliary fuel tank.

• This Vespa Grand Luxe is an older restoration

• Has formed part of a collection

• Not been run since earlier this year

The Piaggio industrial group was devastated by the consequences of World War 2. Amongst the projects muted to rescue the company was an idea to help mobilise the Italian public with a new transport concept ‘The motor scooter’. During trials the buzzing noise of the engine and body shape combined for the scooter to be christened the ‘Vespa’, the Italian translation for wasp. From the launch in 1946 it was such a success that it has become a symbol of taste, fashion and style and is one of the favourite global design icons of all time, The Vespa.

This Vespa Grand Luxe is an older restoration. Purchased by the current owner in 2021, it has not been used by him as it has formed part of a collection. Not been run since earlier this year, it is in good condition all round. The Vespa is not UK registered, however, it has a Nova reference number.

1967 Lambretta 125 ‘The Special One’

CC: 200

MOT: Exempt

Frame No: 125LiS 86046

Engine No: 125LiS 859346

• This is the actual scooter previously displayed in the Chelsea museum at Stamford Bridge

• Signed by many of the players of the 2004-2005 season

• A well-maintained scooter with a UK V5

In celebration of the first Chelsea FC league title in over 50 years ’The Special One’ was created in 2005 to pay homage to the club and the players. The manager, owner and players were all painted onto the scooter by top mural artist Si Clark. Portraits of Jose Mourinho, Roman Abramovich, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Petr Cech, Paulo Ferreira, John Terry, Joe Cole and several others can be seen and most have actually signed the scooter. In addition, to this we have a photograph of the scooter signed by Roman Abramovich in July 2005. A large amount of accompanying memorabilia will be supplied with the scooter sale (see online auction profile). The official Chelsea magazine described the machine as “Art on wheels”.

This is the first time that the scooter has been seen in public since moving out of the museum and it is now for sale for the first time. An absolute must for sports memorabilia, Chelsea FC fans and collectors of celebrity art. Offered with a current V5.

2x 1950s Moto Guzzi Gallettos

Reg Nos: Unregistered

CCs: 160 & 190

MOTs: Exempt

Frame Nos: Not visible

Engine Nos: Not visible

• Part of the Mike Webster collection

• Here we have two Moto Guzzi Gallettos a 160 and a 190

• Both are to be sold as one lot for restoration

Moto Guzzi’s Galletto (translated as cockerel) was intended to offer scooter-type weather protection and comfort allied to the superior handling qualities of a true motorcycle. Guzzi kept with tradition, specifying an overhead-valve, air-cooled ‘flat single’ with outside flywheel. The Galletto cycle parts consisted of a tubular steel spine frame combined with sheet metal pressings, complemented by a leading-link front fork and single-sided rear swing arm. In scooter fashion the Galletto came with a spare wheel, all three wheels being interchangeable. Launched in March 1950 in 160cc three-speed form the Galletto was upgraded to 175cc and four speeds in 1952 and then to 192cc in 1954. These are rare scooters nowadays and these two examples, combined as one lot, should appeal as an attractive proposition. Mike Webster is one of the longest standing members and is the official historian of the VMSC (Vintage Motor Scooter club). He has had several books published including Classic Scooters (Paragon, 1997) and Motor Scooters (Shire, 1986).

Please note: this lot consists of a pair of mopeds.

• Used seldomly since restoration

With Piaggio and Inoccenti showing success with their scooters it was an obvious decision to get involved with smaller wheeled machines. Whilst their first scooter, the Scoiattolo, proved to handle well and was a very practical machine, Rumi needed a scooter design more in tune with the times. The Formichino addressed this and the aluminiumbodied small wheeled range is so unique that it demands attention for its looks and performance.

With an enthusiastic international following Rumi scooters are very collectible today.

This Tipo Sport has been restored by the vendor himself, an eminent Rumi historian. This machine appears to be in excellent condition in its striking Blue. We believe it is a c.1958, in Tipo Sport specification and appears correct. Mike Webster is one of the longest standing members and is the official historian of the VMSC (Vintage Motor Scooter club).

1971 Lambretta GP150 108

Estimate: £5,000 - £6,000*

Reg No: WDW 31K

CC: 150 MOT: Exempt

Frame No: 22/0/220657

Engine No: SX150/221774

• Supplied new by Ken Roberts (Motorcycles) of Newport

• A notably late example that appears to be exceptionally original

• Said to be in running order with correct numbers

The GP150 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters to roll off Innocenti’s assembly line in Milan. Only produced from January, 1969 – April, 1971, the newcomer followed on from the SX range and used its predecessor’s engine prefix before the serial number. There were, however, significant improvements over the SX including: an uprated crankshaft, completely revised gearbox ratios and improved Ducati ignition. The iconic bodywork followed the trends of the day. The Bertone design was more streamlined than its forebears incorporating a new frame and rectangular headlight.

Still wearing a sticker from its supplying dealer Ken Roberts (Motorcycles) of Newport, this particular example is believed to have had just one local owner before being bought by Wildcat Scooters of Newport who in turn sold it to the vendor. Gently patinated and seemingly unmolested, the Lambretta boasts its factory-fitted Black plastic fuel flap, toolbox, rear frame and horn cover grille. It also sports an original carburettor, speedometer and late-type badges and still runs on 6v points. A rare opportunity to acquire a well conserved, British registered machine.

• This Lambretta was purchased by the vendor to restore in 2019

• Due to the wonderful patina of the machine, it was decided to leave it

• It has not been run for a couple of years and will need recommissioning

The Lambretta Li Series 1 was properly launched in April 1958. Some 7 months after the TV175 Series 1 was launched. By then, Innocenti had eliminated most of the engine problems that the 175 had. The Li 150 was a dramatic departure from the shaft-driven LD range that had preceded it. The new enclosed chain-driven engine was centrally positioned under the frame and had more power than the LD. With larger 10-inch wheels and beautifully designed panel work it was a superb scooter to ride and was an instant hit. The Lambretta Li150 Series 2 was launched in October 1959. Based on the successful Series 1 with the obvious difference was the position of the headlight on the handlebars for better lighting when cornering.

This Lambretta was purchased by the vendor to restore in 2019. Due to the wonderful patina of the machine, it was decided to leave it ‘as is’. It has not been run for a couple of years and will need recommissioning. It comes complete with a current V5C and some paperwork from the Netherlands.

1970 Lambretta DL150

Reg No: KUM 54F

CC: 150

MOT: Exempt

• V5C for use on UK roads

Frame No: 22/0/219866

Engine No: SX150/217671

• Restored to standard by Disco Dez Scooters this year

• Believed to be correct numbers machine

This DL150 example is a late example with plastic fuel flap and horn cover grill we believe from late 1970. The vendor believes it was re-painted and restored by the Rimini Lambretta Centre, but we are unable to confirm that. It certainly is, however, painted to a very high standard and the panels fit very well all over. In excellent overall condition this is a standard DL150 except for the 12v electronics.

This year, the scooter has been treated to a very thorough mechanical restoration by Disco Dez Scooters, with a engine overhaul and new parts all-over, including new Scootopia exhaust and new lights. All the keys are present. Our consultant was able to ride the scooter and she performed superbly at time of consignment. Currently on a SORN, ‘KUM 54F’ is ready to be enjoyed on the roads.

• In original paint and well preserved

• The engine turns over

• Road legal on ‘L’ plates without a motorcycle licence

The J range launched in 1964 was a completely new concept for Lambretta with a light pressed steel frame serving as the entire chassis similar to Vespas. It featured clip-on side panels and a fitted mat. The tyre size was increased to 3 x 10 inch.

This 1967 example with matching numbers, in the rare Apple Green colour, is in generally very good original condition. Completely original and unmolested, the engine turns with apparent good compression but we have not seen here running. The scooter is complete, the panels fit nicely, the tank looks to be clean inside, however, it would benefit from a mechanical check and overhaul to get running. A Nova declaration is present, to support a UK registration. This a very smart little original condition project for a newer rider or to be used as a runabout for someone without a motorcycle licence.

No Reserve*

Frame No: Not visible

• Has formed part of a private collection

• Owned by Mike Webster for many years

• The ideal winter restoration project

The first scooter Rumi produced was the Scoiattolo (squirrel). It was a clever idea as it used many parts already in production for the motorcycles including forks, hubs, and nacelle and the proven excellent two stroke twin engine. The Scoiattolo proved to handle well and was a very practical machine. With an enthusiastic international following Rumi scooters are very collectible today. This Yellow Scoiattolo (Squirrel) is a later edition, we believe from 1956/ 57, due to the colour and damping front and back and with 4 speed gears. Some were officially imported into the UK in this colour when the Formichinos started to arrive in 1956. We believe this was an original UK registered example. It looks to be complete and a very worthy restoration or conservation project. Mike Webster is one of the longest standing members and is the official historian of the VMSC (Vintage Motor Scooter club). He has had several books published including Classic Scooters (Paragon, 1997) and Motor Scooters (Shire, 1986).

Former owner Simon Cowell

Estimate: £10,000 - £15,000*

• 1 of only 100 Bellissima models ever produced

• First owned by Simon Cowell and supplied with a certificate of authenticity

• Only c.121km recorded from new

Introduced in 2011, the 946 was Vespa’s most expensive ever model with a starting price of over $10,000 dollars. Understandably dubbed ‘a scooter for the wealthy’ by The New York Times, the newcomer was a self-consciously retro-looking machine that blended modern technology with old school craftsmanship and thus boasted ABS, traction control, fuel injection and handstitched upholstery. As if its price did not guarantee exclusivity enough, the Vespa 946 could also be had as a Ricardo, Emporio Armani, Red, Christian Dior and Bellissima limited edition. The latter was restricted to 100 units and finished in either Blue or Silver Metallic.

Supplied new to the music mogul Simon Cowell, this example was donated by him to British film actress Susan George’s charity auction ‘My Things and Others’ earlier this year, from whence the seller’s partner acquired it. Said to start easily, the Vespa has been little used in recent years and so would benefit from servicing and recommissioning. Offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document and a Prop Store Certificate of Authenticity.

CC: 150 MOT: Exempt

Frame No: 150D51653

Engine No: 150LD 181676

• Part of the Mike Webster collection

• High quality racer with a myriad of unique parts

• Good working condition when last used Lambrettas have been raced since the very early days. Innocenti experimented with racing versions since 1948 and achieved 70mph. By 1952 there were numerous endurance races all across Italy including the ‘Giro de Lombardi e Piemonte’, the ‘Giro D’Italia’ and regular track racing at Monza and Imola. This inspired a whole scene of Lambretta racers and a supply industry of tuning services and the parts required for the machines.

In Great Britain, this tradition was emulated by Lambretta aficionados, in particular, the now retired ‘Red Devils’ creator Lambretta guru Howard Chambers of Southampton. Howard Chambers has confirmed the supply of some parts and assistance in the creation of this Mike Webster-built racer with many unique features. We understand that this scooter completed the famous 2011 Milan to Taranto race and still has its personal race plates. This is a very attractive, and we are told, quick, racing-style Lambretta hand-built by one of the best-known and respected scooter experts in the UK.

• One family / company ownership from new

• Substantial history file

• Restored and in working order at the time of consignment Purchased new by the vendor’s grandfather from Warburton Bros. of Cheshire, this remarkable combination was destined for use at his company, Thomas Coppock & Co., which supplied quality paint, paint brushes and lacquers to the Manchester area. Accompanying documentation includes the following: original buff logbook, original scooter guarantee from the Lambretta Concessionaires (signed by Peter Agg in January 1956), original serviceman’s handbook, Cheshire fuel ration book and original Thomas Coppock & Co. promotional memorabilia. Also on file are many photographs showing the LD150 Mk2 before and during its recent restoration.

The extensive and well-considered refurbishment was completed three years ago. Our consultant took the scooter for a longdistance ride with no issues, at the time of consignment. Offered for sale with the V5C registration document, history file and two full sets of working keys (including those for the trade box element of the combination).

1963 Lambretta TV200 (GT200)

Stunning restoration with extensive history

Frame No: 527255

Engine No: 528197

• Registered new on November 8th 1963, in Carshalton, Surrey

• Extensively documented ownership history

• Buff logbook and large history file

This beautifully restored example of a genuine GT200, was sold new by Surrey Scooters and has always been in Surrey ownership.This is a very high quality restored GT with attention to the details. The panel fit appears to be excellent and the 2 pack paint standard is superb. S&T Bristol electroplated all the chrome parts that were necessary. All over the scooter original parts were reused. The side panels used are the later version with flashes, however, the original earlier style panels are supplied with the scooter. The engine has been overhauled and tuned as a standard TV200 by John Balcome of JB tuning. Our consultant was able to ride this GT and it rode as well as a new scooter at the time of consignment.

A GT200 with the first buff logbook is a rare find in itself. To have the extensive history from new is more rare. A restoration of this magnitude and quality costs many thousands. ‘PE’ is offered with the V5 for use on UK roads and we believe it is a transferable registration number.

• Part of the Mike Webster collection

• One owner for over 50 years

• Restored and in full working order Rumi of Bergamo in northern Italy was an established industrial company long before the scooter boom of the 1950s. They were involved in metal foundry products for private, government and military markets. The anchor on the later Rumi logo and badge refers back to the company’s history and previous involvement with the manufacture of naval equipment during the second world war. Motorcycle production using the now legendary two-stroke twin engine fitted to almost all Rumi two-wheelers started with a prototype in 1949.

This Formichino has been owned by the vendor for over 50 years and was been restored by himself an eminent Rumi historian. In our opinion is in apparently excellent condition. It appears to be correct. 1956 was the first year the aluminium-bodied Formichino series where imported into the UK. The colour, 8-inch wheels, and headlight nacelle all appear to be correct. Mike Webster is one of the longest-standing members and is the official historian of the VMSC (Vintage Motor Scooter club).

• Purchased by the current vendor some 30 years ago

• Part of the Mike Webster collection of scooters and Moto Rumis

• Unrestored and original Aermacchi was an Italian aircraft manufacturer founded in 1912 by Giulio Macchi in Varese, Lombardia, Italy. Scooter production ceased somewhere around 1959 but the company continued with motorcycles eventually forming a successful partnership with Harley Davidson.

The 125N, also known at the Cigno (Swan) was only produced in 1951 and 1952. It had a 125cc single horizontal 2-stroke cylinder. Named by wife of the Aermacchi designer, Ing Lino Tonti, she said it looked like a graceful Swan. The 125N did have a unique feature. The dummy tank serving as a glove box could be mounted horizontally like a motorcycle or hinged down into a vertical position one assumed for female riders. In 1953 Aermacchi added Model U and Model M and changed the N Model to the Deluxe Model N. This example looks to be in complete and original condition.

This Red Scoiattolo (Squirrel) has been owned by the vendor for over 50 years. It is a very rare early version from between 1950 to 1952 with undamped ‘skinny front forks’, no damping front and back and a 3 speed gearbox. It looks to be complete and a very worthy restoration or conservation project.

• Full known history with buff logbook

This VBA was originally registered on 7th August, 1959, by Holaway and Son motorcycle dealers of Trowbridge and the original shop decal still shows clearly on the front mudguard. The scooter was sold with the Vespa Douglas official accessories of the day. An original buff registration book is present with the scooter and shows all of the 3 owners up until the present day. The vendor’s father bought the scooter in 1964 and it has resided in his garage ever since. Over the years she has had little use but did have a comprehensive engine overhaul in 2011, however, it was still sitting unused. She has all of the original parts including the speedometer.

Our consultant was able to start the scooter but it will require a service. This is a lovely appreciating Vespa in a remarkable original condition, with original documents and wonderful patina, not to mention the original accessories it was originally sold with.

This Sportique is a time warp and untouched save primer on the engine side panel. Never before available on the open market, the scooter is adorned with the Esso Tiger and original Vigano ‘Jag’ lights which are wired up as indicators. ’34 BDD’ is showing 5,785 miles on the speedometer, which we believe to be genuine. The original Denfeld (Douglas) seat is in excellent condition, protected all of these years by a cover. All the keys are present bundled together on an original Esso key fob.

The engine is seized and no effort has been made to free it. ‘34 BDD’ as a registration number, has been valued, we are told, at £3500, however, we cannot guarantee the number could be parted from the scooter despite the original buff logbook present, although it would be granted a V5C with its original number. A rare and collectible Vespa presented in an original condition and supplied with the original Vespa tool roll.

• Excellent original basis scooter

This example is in full USA specification, with sealed headlight and extended rear light (for US regulations) and is an automatic fuel-mix version which was the case for all Rally’s exported to the USA. Upon inspection we found that despite being over-painted the machine retained original parts. Never welded, this Vespa Rally appears solid and straight. She could easily be prepared with a European version rear light, and with her original MPH speedo, be very suitable for a UK buyer. All import duties and taxes have been paid and there is a Nova present for UK registration. A rare and valuable original English language Vespa Rally operation and maintenance book is also supplied.

Our consultant rode this scooter recently and the engine sounded very good. The scooter will need a check-over and recommissioning throughout. A rare and collectible Vespa, presented in what appears to be a complete condition.

In 1955 The Dayton Cycle Co. entered the scooter market and introduced the Albatross model, powered by a 224cc Villiers 1H engine. Other versions were added and fitted with Villiers engines of various capacities up to 250cc. The final model was the Flamenco, designed to be more ‘Lambretta’ in appearance, but it failed. A highly respected scooter today and often described as the real Rolls Royce of Scooters. Designed to appeal to a more refined scooter buyer and was pitched against the luxury machines produced by German manufacturers Heinkel, Maico and Zundapp. Due to its size, weight and design it sold poorly and production ceased in 1960. This example is wearing an attractive Green and Black colour scheme and appears to be mostly complete. It could offer an excellent conservation or restoration project. We ar told the registration number is on the DVLA system for retrieval. Mike Webster is one of the longest standing members and is the official historian of the VMSC (Vintage Motor Scooter club).

This 1970 manufactured GP200 Electronic was registered new on 19th August 1971 in Bow, East London and has only two known former keepers. The level of detail and authenticity that went into its restoration could be described as exceptional. Although originally Ochre (Yellow), it was refinished in the correct for 1970 colour of Lechler Lambretta Red. Careful examination of the photographs on our website will hopefully give potential purchasers some idea of the craftsmanship involved in the renovation. The smallest details that are often overlooked are present and the scooter certainly does not disappoint in the metal. The engine has been overhauled to the same meticulous standard using all original or NOS parts but has yet to be fully run-in (though, it started readily upon inspection). The headlight is bright and the ‘zeroed’ odometer displays 0.8 miles. Offered for sale with original bill of sale, original Green logbook and current V5C registration document. Given its condition and correctness, we expect significant interest.

All items are reportedly original or NOS, for example, the original speedometer has been restored and recalibrated showing only 1 mile since the refurbishment. Correct keys for the era are present for the ignition, toolbox and steering lock. Small details, that are often overlooked, are present. The engine has been thoroughly overhauled to the same standard using new old stock parts, including a NOS Borgo piston with NOS rings and an original GP200 barrel and head. Starting readily upon inspection, the scooter has yet to be run-in. This is a very good opportunity for anyone looking for a white standard GP200, restored to an exceptional level, a restoration that would cost many thousands of pounds to replicate.

Multiple show-winning scooter

In the 1960s Stephens Scooters, Rumi dealers of London, offered special paint schemes and practical modifications including Lambretta type front dampers. This Formichino is presented as such and is, in our opinion, an excellent example of one the greatest scooters of the era.

Previously featured in both ‘Scootering’ and ‘Motorrad Classic’ magazines, ‘628 UXC’ is understood to have won trophies every time it has competed. Among the most prestigious of these was the ‘First Place’ it was awarded at the Rumi Club of France’s 25th Anniversary Rally. The signature visible to the front light casting is that of Rumi factory racing legend Gianni Zonca (its authenticity evidenced by a photo on file). Reportedly belonging to the seller’s family for over thirty years, ‘628 XUC’ has been subtly uprated with 12v electronic self retarding ignition, giving greater reliability and brighter lights. Further benefitting from a recent engine overhaul, this delightful Formichino is worthy of close inspection.

The Lambretta Lui 50 was part of the ‘Luna Line’ and was launched in August, 1968 (known as the ‘Lui’ in Italy) and was a futuristic masterpiece of Italian design collaboration between Innocenti and design house Bertone, famed for their designs for Ferrari and Lamborghini. A lightweight scooter, it was marketed by UK Lambretta Concessionaires as ‘The Space Age Look for the year 2000’ in the space race era of the time. Despite a huge marketing campaign by Innocenti the Luna line sold poorly in general and this has resulted in a fairly limited number of survivors.

Presented here is an excellent chrome handlebar basic example of the 50cc moped Lui 50C, with its thinner engine and 3 gears. The Nova has already been obtained and she is ready to get registered and go.

• An interesting restoration project, unfortunately no paperwork The Iso Rivalto company was more famous for their fabulous grand touring cars such as Grifo and Lele but they started out in a much more modest way making refrigeration components. After WW2 they could see a business opportunity to satisfy the demand for cheap motorized transport and in 1948 the Iso Scooter was born. Using a 146cc single cylinder two-stroke engine with four speeds and a 6.5bhp output, the ISO Milano was marketed as a luxury scooter designed for touring. This c.1960 model, being offered at no reserve, was part of a large motorcycle dealer’s stock and taken home and stored in a barn when they closed down many years ago. The bodywork is solid and it appears to be quite complete but it has not been run for a long time so will need a complete restoration. This rare part of scooter history, especially in the UK, will make an interesting project fitted with ISOs own 150cc single-cylinder engine. Unfortunately, the paperwork has gone missing over the years but it has a registration plate showing ‘553 LTJ’ that may be recoverable.

An immediate success, they were making full motorcycles and by the early 1960s and were second only to Honda for two-wheel production. The Burgman range was launched in the mid-1990s, setting new standards for the type.

The first Lambretta Locomociones models were the 125A and 125B. After the initial few had been completed using parts imported from Italy and France, the rest were Spanish, in terms of content and construction. ‘A’ models were built to the same design as the Italian LD with a tubular frame and elegant panels covering the engine compartment. Although enthusiastically received, the volume of Lambrettas produced in Spain was extremely small compared to that which emanated from Italy or even France.

A very early example of the 125A (believed to be falling well within the first 2000 models produced), the machine on offer is adorned with exceptional and valuable accessories, including an early and very rare speedometer, spare wheel disc and Locomociones branded footboard extensions. There is also an intriguing dealer ID plate located under the spare wheel. This is an elegant and interesting scooter that would make for a most intriguing project for a purchaser looking for something different from the norm. The Lambretta Locomociones has been properly imported and the Nova declared should a new owner wish to UK register it.

The Lambretta Li Series 1 was launched in April 1958. Some 7 months after the TV175 Series 1 was launched. By then Innocenti had eliminated most of the engine problems that the 175 had. The Li 125 was a dramatic departure from the shaft driven LD range that had preceded it. The new enclosed chain-driven engine was centrally positioned under the frame and had more power than the LD. With larger 10 inch wheels and beautifully designed panel work it was a superb scooter to ride and was an instant hit, coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors.

This excellent example was imported into the UK this year and has been subject to a very nice restoration whilst in Italy. The engine runs very well and we noted that original parts were used all over the scooter. Our consultant was able to see the scooter running and was also able to road test it at time of consignment.

Under the Guiller Frères motorcycle marque, the Guiller Rivera 125cc was launched at the Salon du Cycle et de la Moto de Paris, 1952. In June 1954, the brand was split and changed its name to René Guiller and Guiller S.A., run separately by the two sons. The two branches of the family company then went on to produce motorcycles independently, but both businesses ceased production around 1958.

The 1953 Guiller Rivera scooter used an AMC 4 stroke 125cc engine coupled with a manual 3-speed gearbox system which achieved a credible 6 horsepower at 6,500 rpm. The entire rear of the scooter lifted up on a hinge to expose the engine. They are extremely rare today. This example appears to be quite complete and in an original condition.

The Lambretta TV175 Series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 Series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV Series 2 models. The TV Series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes.

The Lambretta on offer was restored by the current vendor a few years ago. Used and enjoyed by him on many rallies and events since the restoration we are advised this TV175 Series 3 is running well. All of the tinware was already in good condition and needed little restoration work. It comes complete with a current V5C.

The vendor purchased the scooter in London in 1988 where it was advertised for £200 in the ‘London Loot’.

It is extremely fortunate that we are able to see the full vehicle history report supplied by the DVLA, including a copy of the original buff registration document from 1971 and the full record of the ownership changes throughout the scooters life.

The original Purple panel GT200 paint is visible under the overpainting and the Lambretta retains the original Giuliari seat with original cover, disc brake and speedometer. All keys are present including the original ignition key for the original ignition switch. ‘FGC 89C’ is still on original 6v points and the vendor assures us he has not changed anything in his ownership except the clutch plates, exhaust and the speedo cable.

An impressive history file confirms the scooter’s provenance, particularly its listing as a GT200 on the accompanying V5C registration document. Also on file is an 1970 insurance book from the supplying dealer White & Martin, plus a tax disc and old MOT certificate dating issued during 1973. In recent years this characterful scooter has won multiple trophies.

• Substantially upgraded with new performance equipment

• Used regularly • V5 present and ready to use on UK roads

This example has been subject to a well-considered and complete overhaul to run more comfortably amongst modern traffic utilising modern performance components. Replacing the original specification engine with a Mk3 type makes the machine more reliable, and was, in turn, subject to a complete rebuild using an RT Gran Turismo 150cc reed valve kit. Electrics, wiring loom and the cables were also renewed, as was the suspension. Visually, the most noticeable change was the switch to 10 inch wheels. The list of new parts includes: 24mm Dellorto Carburettor, Miller booster exhaust, CASA crank shaft and new oil seals and bearings throughout.

‘XVG’ has some nice additions including Blue saddle seats and Blue panel rubbers. The overall improvement in handling and speed over standard LD scooters has cost the vendor a considerable amount of time and money, with practical benefits for the new custodian.

• British registered with very low ownership

• Original parts re-used in the restoration

• Correct numbers

This very late 1970 SS90, with only 1 previous owner reported, is in ‘excellent running condition’, according to the vendor at the time of consignment. Indeed, it was subject to a service by highly regarded PM Tuning in 2019. It has been restored in the correct Vespa Red colour, with the foresight of using very many of the important and hard to find original parts all over, including: The chrome SS90 Piaggio factory exhaust, all panels and wheels, floor runners, lights and lenses, handgrips, steering lock, and dummy tank with raised badge. We believe it has original leg shield badge with edging, scroll badges and generally the original parts re-used throughout except the speedo. It is seldom that this most rare and sought after Vespa model becomes available, especially, British registered from new, and still with so many original parts. The scooter has been converted to 12v electronics at some point in its life. All the keys are present and she has a V5 present, for use on UK roads.

• Rare barn find De Luxe British built scooter from the 1950s

• Heavyweight construction fitted with a Villiers 2 stroke engine

• An interesting restoration project, unfortunately, no paperwork

The Dayton Cycle Co built motorcycles from 1913 to 1922, then after a long gap restarted production at Shoreditch in London in 1939. In the post-war years they mainly built scooters until their closure in the early 1960s. The Albatross scooter was built between 1956 and 1960, sold as a super scooter to tempt both scooterists and motorcycle riders. It was priced at around £230 and was pitched against the more heavyweight scooters from Heinkel and Maico, as opposed to the more stylish and lightweight Italian imports such as the Lambretta and Vespa.

This c.1958 model, being offered at ‘no reserve’, was part of a large motorcycle dealer’s stock and taken home and stored in a barn when they closed down many years ago. The bodywork appears solid and quite complete but it has not been run for a long time so will need a complete restoration. An interesting project fitted with a Villiers single-cylinder engine thought to be 225cc. Unfortunately, the paperwork has gone missing over the years, but it has a registration plate showing LJR 350 that may be recoverable.

This example with V5 was imported from Italy c.2012. It was then treated to a high quality restoration in 2013, commissioned by Scooter Emporium London. At this time the ignition and electrics were changed to 12v, eliminating the need for a battery. ‘YUS’ has a full set of keys and adorned with a number of crash bars and other accessories, including ‘Ulma’ style Florida bars. This GS160 is still in remarkable condition and has been kept under cover in a modern garage. Our consultant was able to start the scooter on first kick and she rode as she should at the time of consignment.

• This Moto Rumi Sport was raced by Mike Webster

• Used by him with great success back in the 1980s

• Sold as seen and as an incomplete machine

Moto Rumi needed a scooter design more in tune with the times (1950s). The Formichino addressed this and the aluminium-bodied small wheeled range is so unique that it demands attention for its looks and performance. These were the quickest 125cc factory produced scooters of the time and were available in Standard, Sport and Bol d’Or versions. With an enthusiastic international following Rumi scooters are very collectible today.

This Tipo Sport racer was built by the vendor and raced by himself on the track in the 1980s. It is certainly from 1956 onwards and appears to be a Tipo Sport specification engine, judging by the inlet manifold and larger finned head. The forks, brakes wheels are all standard Rumi but with the addition of Lambretta-type extra dampers. The scooter is incomplete but a very worthy and rewarding restoration or conservation project. Mike Webster is one of the longest standing members and is the official historian of the VMSC (Vintage Motor Scooter club). He has had several books published including Classic scooters (Paragon 1997) and Motor scooters (Shire 1986).

This early example was purchased 4 years ago at an Italian parts fair for a sum, with transport, in excess of £10,000. She has been the subject of a third party restoration costing several thousands of pounds and has an additional parts bill of £2,524 alone. ‘XVL’ is road registered with a V5C. Ignition, steering lock and toolbox keys are present.

The Lambretta TV Series 1 is a hard model to find, particularly in an excellent state and in working order. This example has been standing unused for over a year and needs a small amount of finishing. This TV175 does, however, present itself as a potentially excellent acquisition for the enthusiast.

The Lambretta 48 moped was first introduced in August 1955 during the heyday of the LD scooter. Also known in Italy as The ‘Ribot’, it had 2 speeds and rear spring suspension. The pedals are used to start the moped and there is a knob on the right side to disengage the engine. Despite a small petrol tank, the 48 had a reputed range of 120 miles.

This is an exceptionally nice example which appears to have been restored to a very high standard and at some considerable expense. The vendor purchased the vehicle from Parsons Cycles in 2019 and it has been used as ‘industrial art’ in his living room since. Our consultant was able to start the machine easily and was also able to ride it on the road with no issues.

This very early example of a genuine GT200 was produced in the first 3 months of TV200 production in July of 1963. The scooter was used as daily transport until 1979, when it was put away out of sight 43 years ago. The scooter has never been dismantled and is original everywhere. The original purple panel GT200 paint is visible under the overpainting and she retains the original and superb Pegasus seat. The fibre-glass front mudguard is in very good shape. Everything seems original and where it should be. The scooter rolls on its wheels but the a brake piston is seized. The documents that come with the scooter include: an original dealer tag from T.P. Bell and the original engine guarantee addressed to Mr Lee in December of 1963, signed by Peter Agg of Lambretta Concessionaires, original BLOA membership and also some MOTs and tax discs. She has a Blue V5. Despite the overpainting, a GT200 in such untouched condition is an incredible opportunity for a serious purchaser.

It is understood that the pedals, chain and other pieces are very rare but with patience can be found amongst the scooter parts market. Fully running on original V5A2M engine.

It has been subject to a professional bodywork restoration here in the UK in its original Apple Green colour (Mela Verde) which has been done to a high standard. We are told the engine is in working order but are unable to confirm this. Needs minor finishing. It has keys and the door cards and windscreen wiper were present. The engine and running gear, tyres and overall mechanical parts look to be in excellent condition. The Lambro will still need to be registered for UK.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a really nice commercial vintage vehicle in a sought after colour. An ideal piece for conversion to a number of commercial uses or mobile catering outlets, or with its large platform, to simply transport your scooter or other motorcycle to your local show.

c.1940s/ 1950s Omega Bumper RA Watch

Ex George Brough

Estimate: £4,000 - £6,000*

We are grateful to the vendor for the following description:

“This Omega watch was previously owned and worn by George Brough and was given to my father in 1973 by Mrs Brough as a gesture of friendship as dedicated to Brough Superior Motors in Vernon Road, Basford, Nottingham. My father Albert Baily joined the company shortly after the war, having worked at RAF Lyneham as an aircraft engine specialist. He joined Brough Superior Motors as a foreman in the garage section and rose to become manager before retiring. During that time, apart from managing the garage, he drove Mr Brough around in his numerous cars.

Apart from the Brough Superior, I remember travelling with my father in Mr Brough’s numerous Jaguars, an XK120, XK140 and an early E-type as well. When we were married (my wife and myself were students at the time) Mr Brough loaned my father his Jaguar so we could use my father’s car to take to Islay on our honeymoon. The company was eventually sold to Bonser Engineering shortly before my father retired.”

• Entered from a private collection and dry stored

• 1 of 2,647 produced during the 1943 model year for the Canadian Army

• Previously resident and restored in The Netherlands

Harley Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and has gone on to become one of the world’s most iconic and longestrunning motorcycle manufacturers. During the Second World War, they produced over 100,000 WLA/WLC models along with many spare parts to keep the bikes running in difficult conditions. Based on the 750cc 45 cubic inch flathead it became known as the ‘Liberator’ to the many soldiers who relied on its rugged reliability. The WLC was the version supplied to the Canadian Army, much the same as the WLA the US Army used but with a few detail changes.

This particular WLC has formed part of a private collection of motorcycles. One of just 2,647 produced during the 1943 model year for the Canadian Army ‘YVL 369’ had previously resided in the Netherlands where it was subject to a restoration. The machine has been dry stored in recent years and will therefore require recommissioning before use on the road.

• We have been advised it is running well and in generally good condition

The 1974 TY250 was the pioneer of Yamaha Trials bikes. 250cc, 2-stroke, single cylinder. Yamaha developed the TY250 as a competition model at a time when trial competition was booming. Mick “the Magician” Andrews was one of the riders involved in the development. A more subtle version for the public was later released, it was more suitable to be ridden on public roads. With its 250cc engine known for flat torque characteristics and solid low-speed-range torque so strong that the machine would move forward even at idle, its slim body and fat rear tire, this model’s pedigree as a trial machine was beyond question. This pretty little Yamaha TY250 has formed part of a collection. It has previously been registered on the Isle Of Man (logbook on file). We have been advised it is running well and that it is in generally good condition for its age, with signs of use over the years of wear and tear, as expected. This machine will need to be UK registered by a new owner.

• Part of a private collection in recent years and said to be in ‘good order’

• Running earlier this year but would benefit from light recommissioning

The Suzuki RG 500 or “Gamma” is a two-stroke sports bike that was produced by Suzuki for just two years between 1985 and 1987. The RG 500 was directly based on the series of Suzuki RG 500 Grand Prix motorcycles with almost identical features to the official two-stroke machines used by Italian world champion Franco Uncini during the 1984 season with the Gallina team. The RG 500 won two consecutive Riders’ Championships in the 500cc class. Like its GP forebearers, the road-going RG was powered by a naturally aspirated, rotaryvalve inducted, twin crank square four two-stroke engine displacing some 498cc. This engine employed thermostatically controlled liquid-cooling by means of a front-mounted radiator.

This 1980s classic has formed part of a private collection for a while. Originally a German market machine, the Suzuki was imported to the UK in 2016. Little exercised since acquisition, the RG500 is said to be in ‘good order’. It has been running this year, but will need light recommissioning before use. It comes with a current V5C, DVLA paperwork, and VJMC certificate.

By the 60s they had become associated with performance bikes with the Scrambler model being launched in the mid-1960s to satisfy the demand for a flat track style bike in the USA. The same basic styling was reintroduced a few years ago on the 800cc V Twin range of modern-day Scramblers.

The Ducati 350SS, Ducati 400SS and Ducati 600SS were Ducati sports bikes made from 1989 through 1999 for the Japanese and Italian markets. The 350/400 SS models were produced to meet regulations under the prevailing driving license schemes in Japan (400cc) and Italy (350cc), where there were limits on maximum displacement allowed for probationary motorcyclists. Also known as the 400SS Junior, the models were based on the larger 750SS with which they shared a frame, engine and most other components. The most obvious differences were the 2-into1 exhaust system on some versions (also used the 600) and the single-disc front brake.

This rare, smaller capacity Ducati sports bike was ridden and enjoyed by the vendor until the end of summer 2022. Off the road since then, the 400SS is said to be in ‘very nice condition for its age’ and to be ‘running well’. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry receipts.

The Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. After WW2 Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 1960s were second only to Honda in numbers of two-wheelers manufactured.

This new old stock GSF600S Bandit, being offered at no reserve, has never been taken out of its original packing case. It was part of a large franchised dealers stock who upon closure in 2000 took everything home and mothballed them in his house and barn.

Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomise British motorcycles in the post-war years.

Repatriated from the USA in around 2004 this very well-presented T100C, built in November 1970, has recently undergone a full no expense spared restoration by its enthusiast owner. Striking looking with its twin upswept exhaust and White paintwork with a Green stripe down the fuel tank, most nuts, bolts and fasteners have been replaced with stainless steel versions. The wheels have been rebuilt with CWC stainless rims and spokes and shod with period-correct Dunlop tyres, with a complementing pair of Hagon rear shocks.

• We have been advised it is running well

For the 1976 model year, the aging two-cylinder T500 Titan was given a new front end with a single-disc brake as well as freshened-up bodywork. It was henceforth known as the GT500. The GT500 was discontinued at the end of the 1977 model year, so had a very short production life. The GT500 was not graced with Ram Air cooling, probably because Suzuki already knew that their large-capacity two-stroke road bikes were reaching the end of their production lives. It was probably a way to get a few more sales yen from what had now become a very dated design, reaching back to the 1968 model year.

This Suzuki GT500 has had a lot of work carried out. At some stage, since owned, the machine has benefitted from light restoration, with many new parts. We have been advised it is running well at the time of consignment. It is offered with a current V5C.

Born in the 1970s and said to have been commissioned by the army and also sold to the civilian market. One of the peculiarities of the Nuovo Falcone was its simplicity of construction, that makes the servicing easy for anybody. It was a total redesign of the much-loved and famous Falcone. Whilst similar in appearance, the engine and cycle parts were upgraded. The Nuovo Falcone has a unit construction, coil and battery ignition and wet sump. The final chain drive was also moved to the left. The huge external flywheel was retained. The cycle parts were also upgraded. The original Falcone had a frame bolted-up from various plates and tubes. It worked, after a fashion, but wasn’t too rigid. The Nuovo Falcone has a conventional tubular frame.

This Moto Guzzi is in a good all-round condition. We have been advised by the vendor, at the time of consignment, that it is running well. There is a collection of old MOT certificates and some receipts with the bike. A current V5C is on file and accompanies a Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone handbook as part of the sale.

• Last run earlier this year and placed back on display Maico motocross and enduro racing models proved very successful in both European and American competition throughout the 1970s. While lacking the financial capital and big money race-team backing like that of the Japanese factories, Maico riders such as Adolf Weil, Åke Jonsson and Willy Bauer proved to be serious challengers to the Japanese factories and produced numerous top-three finishes in the Motocross World Championships. The firm also experienced some success in Grand Prix road racing competitions with rider Börje Jansson winning three 125cc Grand Prix races between 1972 and 1973. Maicowerk AG filed for bankruptcy in 1983, but continued to produce small numbers of motocross and enduro models until 1986.

The Kawasaki H2 Mach IV was a 750cc 3-cylinder two-stroke production motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki. The H2 was a Kawasaki triple sold from September 1971 through 1975. More than any other model, it created Kawasaki’s reputation for building what motorcycle journalist

Alastair Walker called, “scarily fast, good-looking, no holds barred motorcycles”. In 1974 the H2B engine was modified for more civilized performance at the expense of raw power.

Part of a private collection of Japanese machines, the previous owner totally restored the Kawasaki to a high standard. The engine was stripped and overhauled with a new Wossner piston and small end bearings. Additionally, the wheels have been re-chromed and other parts have been chemically cleaned or also re-chromed. It has had new clutch plates, a release assembly and a crank rebuild by Stan Stephens…and the list goes on. Since completion, it has not been used much at all.

The third generation of VFR 400R was the best-known version, the VFR 400R NC30. This saw styling changes, most notably the headlights were updated to smaller twin headlights. The NC30 was produced between 1989 and 1992, though unsold bikes were still available to purchase from Honda dealers for several years thereafter. The NC30 reflected the styling of its iconic bigger brother, the VFR750R (RC30), right down to its 18-inch rear wheel.

Widely regarded as being a fine-handling motorcycle, the engine has a very wide powerband for a 400cc engine, which made it a perfect beginners-superbike. It has a hardcore fanbase, especially in Japan and the UK, where the NC30 is a popular track-day and racing bike.

• The restoration is holding up well with some signs of use The Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. An initial diversification into 4 wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 60s were second only to Honda in numbers of two-wheelers manufactured. In the early 1970s the GT380, GT550 and GT750 three-cylinder range was launched proving to be ‘the last hurrah’ for the large capacity two-stroke engine.

The Montesa Cota 310 was a Trial model of the Cota de Montesa range that was manufactured between 1989 and 1991. Created as a successor to the 1988 Cota 309, it was one of the first versions of this model completely remodeled by technicians from Honda, who had taken on its development once the old Montesa was finally absorbed by the Japanese firm in 1986, giving way to Montesa Honda . At the turn of the 1990s it was found that the Cota were beginning to be clearly surpassed by the competition. The Cota 310, with its original colour combo of Green and Yellow, was the last equipped with the historic “123” engine and traditional double cradle chassis. Power was from a 258cc air-cooled single-cylinder two-stroke engine with a 6-speed gearbox.

To capture the American market, the 6T Thunderbird used a variant of the earlier Speed Twin’s parallel-twin engine, bored out from 500cc to 650cc to give the added horsepower American customers demanded. The concept of enlarging the Speed Twin was dreamt-up by managing director Edward Turner. The 6T Thunderbird was launched publicly at Montlhéry near Paris, where production bikes were ridden around a circuit by a team of riders averaging a speed of 92 mph over a distance of 500 miles. All three machines were ridden to the circuit and back to the Meriden factory. Triumph obtained further lasting publicity with Marlon Brando’s 1953 motion picture The Wild One, in which he rode a mildly customised 1950 6T Thunderbird.

This 1950 Triumph Thunderbird 6T was restored a few years ago to a good standard and has been used and enjoyed since. Being a 1950 model of the 6T Thunderbird makes this one of the most desirable years of Thunderbirds. This machine has not been run in the last year, so light recommissioning will be required, it comes complete with a current V5C.

The Max had some very innovative features including a monocoque frame made from pressed steel which was later inherited by the Supermax.

This 1956 NSU Max 250 is the Special model with its unique Albert Roder designed Ultramax connecting link drive for its single overhead camshaft and full width alloy hubs. An expensive bike back in the 1950s but built with typical German quality, it could out perform many larger capacity machines of its day.

• Purchased and brought to the UK by the current owner Peugeot built their first motorcycle in 1898 with a De DionBouton engine mounted on the rear wheel.

The Peugeot 500 M, a 500cc dual overhead camshaft model appeared in 1914, the first of this type. In 1930, Peugeot absorbed Automoto which had been a pioneer in the field of motorcycles and scooters. Peugeot was the leading French motorcycle manufacturer until the 1950s producing many models.

Despite the now commonplace brand, this Peugeot 107 is indeed a rare model in the UK. Discovered in a French barn in 2017 in its current condition this 107 was purchased and brought to the UK by the current owner. At the time of viewing the motorcycle the engine was heard running well. This lovely find is a very original machine with what are believed to be correct numbers.

• UK-supplied, first gen CBR900 in iconic colours

• A rare survivor and still to standard specification

• Owner’s book, service book, warranty card and tool kit

Honda’s launch of the four-cylinder CB750 in 1969 ushered in the ‘superbike’ era and the arrival of the CBR900 Fireblade in 1992 set a new benchmark for sports bike performance. Now in its 30th Anniversary year, the very name ‘Fireblade’ still sets hearts racing. This very original first-generation Blade is presented in the classic early Fireblade colours, so iconic Honda have reprised it on this year’s 30th Anniversary celebration model. The Tadao Baba designed bike was a game changer in its day and is surely going to become a future classic, especially presented in standard and original condition like this one. This bike has been part of a private collection for the last few years and is still sporting its original genuine Honda exhaust can, screen and indicators, all items many owners changed in the past. Run last year, it will need a light recommissioning before use and comes supplied with its original owner’s manual, service book, warranty card, tool kit and a current V5C.

• Rare original and unrestored survivor from nearly 90 years ago

• Built as a utility bike in its day, very few have survived the years

• Supplied with old MOTs, dating letter, owner’s books and a V5

In the 1930s, there was a pressing need for cheap transport and BSAs XO 150 model was designed to satisfy that demand. Probably the cheapest bike in the range back in the 1930s, not many have survived the intervening 90 years so it is now quite rare.

This XO 150 dates from around 1935 according to the frame number although the V5 logbook says 1932 and also has it wrongly described as a 250. This can be rectified when the change of ownership is being carried out. The bike appears to be in original unrestored condition with even the remains of the dealer transfers still just about visible on the mudguards. Part of a private collection for a number of years it has not been run for a while so will need some recommissioning, but the engine turns over on the kickstarter and everything moves freely. The bike comes supplied with a spare fuel tank, a few old MOTs, owner’s manuals, a BSA club dating letter and a V5.

• This spectacular Honda CB550 has to be one of the prettiest anywhere

• The restoration presents as any extensive restoration should do

• Attention has been paid to factory specifications throughout

The Honda CB550 was made from 1974 to 1978. It had a four-cylinder 544cc SOHC air-cooled wet sump engine. The first version, the CB550K, was a development of the earlier CB500, and like its predecessor, had four exhaust pipes, four silencers and wire-spoked wheels, a rear drum brake and a front disc brake. Compared to Honda’s 1969 dry sump CB750, both the CB500 and the CB550 were much smaller and lighter. This spectacular Honda CB550 has to be one of the prettiest anywhere, with the restoration presenting as you’d hope any extensive restoration should do, with the intention that every detail has been done to factory specifications. The restoration was carried out around 1999-2002. The care and patience to restore this machine to this standard would have been a labour of love. This is probably the best example we have encountered and should be seen to be fully appreciated. Sadly, there are no receipts or paperwork for all the hard work carried out. This machine will need to be registered in the UK, although a Honda dating certificate is on file.

The Corgi Motorcycle Co Ltd. was a British motorcycle manufacturer based in Southport, that produced 98cc scooters developed by managing director John Dolphin from the military Welbike motorcycle design. Production of the Corgi scooter for the UK market began in 1948 and 27,050 were manufactured before production ended in October 1954. The main difference between the Corgi scooter and the Welbike were that the frame was more solid (as weight was no longer such an issue) and the Corgi had a fuel tank in the normal motorcycle position between the handlebars and the saddle.

This Brockhouse Corgi has been in a private collection for many years. An older restoration and now showing signs of use, it was last ridden earlier this year. For the new owner, it will require some recommissioning in order to enjoy fully, once more. It is offered at the sale with an old style V5.

Although they started as innovators, Velocette failed to keep pace with developing technology and production ended in 1959.

This 1948 Velocette Mac was in the shed with the Sunbeam and Rudge in this sale. Purchased by the vendor around 20 years ago and not used much since, this could be the ideal winter project with potentially little work needed.

Many John Marston Sunbeam motorcycle models were produced. The first was a 350cc in 1912 followed by a range of 500cc singles and some V-twins. In 1924, a new model numbering system was introduced; Sunbeam Models 1 through 11. Other highernumbered models were produced in later years. A hallmark of all Marston Sunbeams was the superb quality and finish in Black with Gold-leaf pinstriping.

This 1931 Sunbeam will make a very worthy project. Sleeping peacefully for around 67 years, it was recently found in a shed with a few other machines. It’s mostly complete as per the pictures, with a few parts missing. It comes complete with a current V5C and an old style V5.

Rudge motorcycles were produced from 1911 to 1946. The firm was known for its innovations in engine and transmission design, and its racing successes. Their sales motto was “Rudge it, do not trudge it.” The company also produced the first detachable wire wheel in 1907, and was known for its knockoff wheels on sports cars; that brand continued well into the 1960s. This recent discovery was found sleeping next to the Sunbeam Model 9 in the sale. Purchased in 1985 it had been parked up and never used beyond that. An ideal winter project, it is a vintage machine that is Banbury Run-eligible. This Rudge-Whitworth is offered with a V5C and a continuation RF60 that dates from 1947. The pictures show all that is there, and we advise they are looked at as there are no other parts than what is shown.

The company became part of the Tube Investments and brought the Raleigh, Norman, Phillips and Hercules brands of moped under the same ownership. The obvious course of action was to rationalise these four ranges into one common series and it was decided to license the Mobylette range of mopeds produced by Motobécane in France. A stopgap based on the Sachsengined Nippy already being produced by Norman was sold in Ireland until the Mobylette-based models were in production. From then on, Raleigh, Phillips and Norman mopeds were effectively rebadged Mobylettes, while Raleigh first applied the ‘Runabout’ name to the RM6, which was built in various versions from May 1963 until February 1971 when production ceased.

This Raleigh Runabout is in its original condition. Since sold in 1968, this runabout has not been used much at all. We have been advised it was running earlier this year, with no issues. It comes complete with a current V5C.

Motorcycle genius Soichiro Honda’s original design, the CZ100 ‘Mini Bike’, still has an enthusiastic following. Also known as the ‘Monkey Bike’, by which it was and will be forever known, the first of the line had a 49cc pushrod engine, rigid forks, single seat and 5’’ wheels. Soon upgraded to the CZ50M, the Z50A and then the Z50AK2 with tele forks, 8’’ wheels with knobbly tyres, and high level exhaust. Ironically the Far East motorcycle industry has spent the last four decades cloning Mr Honda’s designs, some official others not, and there are many copies of the Monkey Bike available on the market today. Indeed, the term has become somewhat generic now and can apply to any miniature motorcycle.

Suzuki ended the 1970s in a strong position. The GS1000 maintained its position as one of the most desirable machines in its class and had quickly established itself as the ultimate muscle-bike, however, Suzuki recognised that they had rivals. As a consequence, Suzuki commissioned Target Design of Germany, to evolve a design that would maintain the company’s position at the head of the superbike field. First seen by the public at the 1980 Cologne Show as a concept, the design was to be regarded as one of the landmark machines in motorcycle history. The Katana featured a half-fairing, fuel tank and seat unit designed to combine the motorcycle and rider into one aerodynamically efficient package. The current owner purchased this Katana around 2 years ago from Switzerland. Since that time the machine has been sitting in a house. Prior to this period indoors, the Katana was running. When purchased the Katana possessed the relevant paperwork. The machine is offered with a Nova declaration on file, however, it will still need to be registered for the road in the UK.

Post-war Japan needed cheap reliable transport, so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 1960s were second only to Honda in numbers of two-wheelers manufactured. The Bandit range, based on the oil cooled GSXr750 engine, was launched in the mid 1990s to offer a more all round sports touring package.

This New Old Stock Bandit 600 was part of a large, franchised dealer’s stock who upon closure in 2000 took everything home and mothballed them in his house. The bike is just how it would have been when taken out of its packing case all those years ago and displayed in the shop awaiting sale. This time warp machine has never been run, used or registered and comes supplied with a VMCC dating letter, a letter from Suzuki GB confirming duty paid and even its original Suzuki Warranty Registration card.

The Yamaha Motor Co. was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German-made DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events starting a long tradition of achievement that goes on to this day in Moto GP. The TRX850 twin was launched to compete with Ducati and even copied their trellis-style frame layout.

This 1996 TRX850, being offered at no reserve, was part of a large franchised dealers stock who upon closure took everything home and mothballed them in his barn. First registered in 1996, the speedo only reads 11,924km so obviously, it obviously didn’t see much use before being stored away for a number of years. The bike is in nice standard trim and comes supplied with a current V5C.

1962 Triton

• This Triton was originally built in 1989

• After 903 miles it was laid up in his garage where it stayed for 28 years

• Café Racer look

This reconstruction was carried out by Steve Blackwell a founder member of the Triton Owners Club. Steve built numerous Tritons over the years in different guises, no two are ever the same. Originally built in 1989, it changed hands soon after and was purchased by a gentleman in Woking. After 903 miles it was laid up in his garage where it stayed for 28 years, before being purchased by the current vendor. It languished in the vendor’s garage for a further 6 years, during which time he sourced period parts to rebuild it. Slightly more radical in style, but keeps the true Café Racer look. Only the frame, forks, engine, gearbox, petrol tank, Tomaselli leavers & headlamp remain of the original build.

The vendor has said: “This rebuild was started in June 2014 and the new-born Triton was road tested by Steve and MOT’d on 25th June 2015. I trailered it home and it has stood in the garage ever since. I have never ridden it. All invoices associated with Steve’s work are available together with detailed photo records.”

Established in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. The 750cc Trident triple was essentially one and a half 500cc twins and proved to be the last success story for the company, with the bike going on to dominate the early years of the Formula 750 race series. This 1972 T150 is part of a deceased estate having been bought by the vendor over 44 years ago as only its third owner from new. It has survived in mostly standard condition with its distinctive conical drum front and rear brakes and 3 into 2 exhaust. The bike has been stood for a number of years so will need a good recommissioning but the engine turns over and everything moves freely.

• 1974 Bultaco Sherpa 250 twin-shock trials bike

• Mostly original with alloy tank, panels and mudguards

• Road registered on a V5C for ‘daytime use only’

The origin of the Bultaco motorcycle company dates from 1958 when Francesc “Paco” Bultó who at the time was a director of the Montesa motorcycle company decided to branch out on his own. The new company’s name came combining the first four letters of Sr. Bultó’s surname with the last three of his nickname “Paco”. Although they made road and racing machines, the company had its greatest success with off-road bikes such as the Pursang for motocross, the Matador for enduros and perhaps the most famous Bultaco model the Sherpa trials bike that revolutionised the sport in the 1960s.

This 1974 twin-shock 250 is mostly original and has a nice patina about it. Fitted with alloy mudguards and side panels to match its alloy fuel tank it is road registered for ‘daytime use only’ and comes supplied with current V5C. Not ridden for about 10 months it will need a light recommissioning before use.

The Trophy could trace its origins back to the machines successfully campaigned in the 1948 ISDT. When introduced to the public it quickly became apparent that its forte did not lie in section trials but in the world of long distance events of the type that were becoming increasingly popular in the United States. As introduced in 1949 the Trophy utilised a rigid frame unique to the model housing an all alloy 500cc engine with squarish barrels and head of a type employed on the generator set manufactured by Triumph for the RAF during the war. The next significant change occurred in 1955 when the model adopted the pivoted fork frame.

This TR5 has not been finished due to the late vendor’s passing, although a great deal of hard work has previously gone into the restoration. It is a correct numbers machine showing some attention to detail within the previous restoration process. It has not been run and the wiring needs to be finished, along with other sundry items. There is a current V5C on file but sadly no other paperwork.

• Dry sorted and last run earlier this year

The Honda CBR250 series of bikes was produced between 1986 and 1996. It was a lightweight 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, and 6-gear sport bike capable of revving up to 19,000rpm. The earlier models (19861993) produced 45ps (34 kW), from then on, the power output was reduced to 40ps (30 kW) in 1994 after a change in Japanese law. They however can be found in almost any country of the world, and in a number is the most powerful 4-stroke bike a learner is allowed to ride, and hence their popularity. The CBR250RR has six gears, and revs just under 9,000 rpm at 100km/h. Despite the high revs, the bike requires little maintenance, and should easily last 100,000 km with regular oil changes (over 1/2 a billion revolutions). The engine is somewhat unusual in that it uses gear-driven cams, further reducing maintenance requirements.

This lovely 250 Honda has formed part of a collection of machines. It was purchased by the vendor in running condition for his collection and then dry stored with its last run earlier this year. It will need light recommissioning before use, however, it is supplied with a current V5C.

The Honda CB 350/4 (aka ‘350F’ and ‘350 Four’) is a fourcylinder, four-stroke, 347cc (21.2 cu in) motorcycle based on the larger versions of the day (CB 750, CB 500). The motorcycle was manufactured by Honda from 1972 to 1974. At the time, the CB 350/4 was the smallest capacity four-cylinder motorcycle ever to enter into full-scale production. There were no changes to the 1973 model, but Honda designated the 1974 bike the CB 350F1. Soon after production was discontinued, it was replaced by the CB 400F. Although Honda had a 350 Twin that critics said was more powerful, lighter, and cheaper, many felt the 350 four was faster and smoother running.

This Honda 350/4 has been part of a private collection of machines. Upon inspection, the motorcycle retains many original parts from new. Not used much by the current owner due to having been on display, it is said to have been run, however, it will require light recommissioning before use. Offered complete with a V5C.

The Benelli 650 Tornado is a 650 cc (40 cu in) parallel-twin motorcycle produced by the Italian manufacturer Benelli from 1970 to 1975. The model was intended to compete with the British big twins in the lucrative American Market but the market had changed following the launch of multi-cylinder bikes by the Japanese manufacturers.

The first production bikes were delivered to the US in 1970 and in early 1971 it was introduced in Europe. Actor Steve McQueen, was the US ambassador for Benelli. It was now known as the Tornado and had a less restrictive exhaust system and larger 29 mm (1.1 in) Dell’Orto carburettors. Low speed handling was criticised which was attributed to the engine sitting too high in the frame.

The Douglas RA type machine took its name from the developmental brakes that were to be introduced along with other ideas such as a frame allowing the engine to be mounted lower. The throttle also became a ‘twist’ type instead of a lever. Lightness was added, by utilising some aluminium components. An RA (ridden by Tom Sheard) won the 1923 Senior TT on the Isle of Man, amongst some other successes in competition. Becoming known as the ‘Isle of Man model’, the retail market version of the RA was launched in 1923 as the OB/24.

• First registered on the 1st of July 1937 in London & still retaining its original transferable registration number

• The previous owner had this machine from 1997

• The magneto was rebuilt in 2003 (bill to hand)

Matchless consumed AJS in 1931, sending AJS production to South London. Essentially the two names existed side by side producing essentially the same machines. Also known as the ‘Model 2’, the V-twin 2A was at the top of the range of motorcycles offered as an AJS. Its production began at Wolverhampton before the move south and by 1932 acquired the Matchless X engine. Popular as an export and a sidecar machine, the model was discontinued after the war.

First registered in London on the 1st of July 1937 this example still retains its original transferable registration number. The previous owner owned this machine from 1997, subsequently in 2003, the magneto was rebuilt (bill to hand). It has a good history in the form of an old ‘buff’ logbook going back to 1949 & an old Green logbook from 1967. The current vendor has carried out work since the acquisition and it is now said to be running well. It is offered with a V5C registration document, BMS copy handbooks and manuals.

• This 1961 Bonnie was restored to a high standard a few years ago

• Used ever since and enjoyed at many rallies and events

• Showing some signs of use but has mellowed well

The Bonneville owes its name to record-breaking successes on the eponymous salt flats, however, it was the Tiger 110 (fitted with twin carburettors) which set a new 650cc production record of over 147mph in 1958. The Triumph Tiger 110 was first made at their Coventry factory between 1953 and 1961. The T110 was developed from the Triumph Thunderbird and first appeared in 1954. This 1961 pre- unit ‘Bonnie’ was restored to a high standard a few years ago and then used and enjoyed ever since and in attendance at many rallies and events. Showing some signs of use its condition has mellowed pleasingly. We have been advised that it is running well. It is offered with a current V5C on file.

• This 1981 Yamaha was purchased by the vendor and used by him since

• An older restoration that is holding up well, with signs of use

• Original parts were used as much as possible in the restoration

The Yamaha RD350LC was a two-stroke motorcycle produced by Yamaha between 1980 and 1983. Although it immediately succeeded the larger RD400, the RD350LC was powered by a smaller 347cc parallel twin two-stroke engine which actually had the same bore and stroke as the older RD350 (64 x 54mm). However, Yamaha added liquid cooling and made other modifications in porting and exhaust to comply with evertightening emissions regulations.

This 1981 Yamaha was purchased by the vendor and used by him since that time. It has been the subject of an older restoration that is holding up well, however, with signs of use. We are told that original parts were used as much as possible in the restoration. We have also been advised the machine is running well. It comes complete with a current V5C.

• This Kawasaki ZX-9R was purchased by the vendor for a few track days

• Sadly for him, that has never happened due to commitments

• Sometime in the past repainted in the famous Kawasaki Green from Blue

In 2000 a new look was introduced for the ZX-9R, with distinctive twin headlights and a separate ram-air intake replacing the single headlight and integrated intake of the C-model. The engine gained a few horsepower from slightly shorter length CVRD 40 mm carburettors, a compression ratio increase to 12:2:1 from 11.5:1, and larger diameter (35mm vs. 31.8mm) header pipes. A lower duration intake cam increased cranking compression. Further improvements were aimed primarily at handling. The frame was made stiffer through the enlarging of the front engine mounting bolts.

This Kawasaki ZX-9R was purchased by the vendor for a few track days. Sadly for him, that has never been able to happen due to work commitments and the weather. Sometime in the past the machine has been repainted from Blue to the famous Kawasaki Green. We have been advised that the motorcycle is running well. It comes complete with a current V5C.

• Rare 1968 Triumph T20 Super Cub, one of only about 2500 made

• Includes a photographic record and a CD Rom of the restoration

• Owned by the vendor since 2015 and supplied with a current V5C

Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, the Tiger Cub 200cc single was one of their more popular models and gave many future enthusiasts their first taste of motorcycling.

The frame number on this bike suggests it is a rare 1968 Super Cub model, a combination of the classic 200cc Triumph engine in a late BSA Bantam frame. It was designed in the dying days of the BSA/Triumph group as a cost-effective way of resisting the onslaught of the Japanese manufacturers. The combination of the two bikes worked well together but a difficult relationship between the two factories led to an unhappy marriage and only about 2500 were made. This bike was restored about 10 years ago and comes supplied with a photographic record and a CD Rom of the rebuild. Bought by the vendor in 2015, he has since shown it at various vintage events and it comes supplied with a current V5C.

• This very rare and beautiful Yamaha YR1 has formed part of a private collection

• Restored to show standard using mainly ‘new old stock’ parts

• It comes with a Yamaha Club dating certificate

For 1967 Yamaha introduced a new model, the YR-1. This motorcycle was the largest in the line that year, and represented a lot of firsts for Yamaha. It was the first 350cc motorcycle they had built. The engine was a twin cylinder, piston port, two stroke, five speed, producing 36 horsepower. The clutch was mounted on the transmission input shaft, rather than directly to the crankshaft. The advantages were that the input shaft rotates at a much lower speed than the crank, thereby making the clutch much more smooth in operation, and increasing the life of a clutch tenfold. It was a road-racing engine and chassis, with enough lights and instrumentation added, to make it street-legal.

This very rare and beautiful Yamaha YR1 has formed part of a private collection. A rare machine, this example was restored to show standard using mainly ‘new old stock’ parts. The first ‘superbike’ of its type, with a lineage existing many years later. It comes complete with a current V5C and a Yamaha Club dating certificate. It will require light recommissioning before use.

• The current vendor has not used it since purchased

The Kawasaki Z500/Z550 series began with the 1979 Z500, a scaled-down version of the Kawasaki Z1R. It used a doublecradle steel frame with a transverse-mounted air-cooled 4-cylinder DOHC (Double Over Head Cam) engine; a classic Universal Japanese Motorcycle. Kawasaki was doing very well in GP racing and developed a higher performance version of the KZ550. The GPz used the same size 553cc engine, but featured higher compression, and camshafts with higher lift and more duration, and a bikini fairing.

This 1986 Kawasaki GPZ 550 displays just 12,671 miles from new and has only had one previous owner, incidentally, the current owner has not added any miles of use since it was purchased. A very original machine and indeed a fast-appreciating classic of today. The GPz is offered with a current V5C, its warranty and service book, owner’s manual, and a collection of old MOT certificates.

A year later the full 1000cc version was launched setting a new benchmark in the superbike division. In 1979 the ‘S’ version arrived sporting a nose cone fairing, 18” rear wheel and race inspired paintwork going on to dominate AMA superbike racing in the USA with riders such as Wes Cooley and Graeme Crosby.

This Suzuki GS1000S was a daily rider for the previous owner and has formed part of an enthusiast’s small collection of machines.

• Rare 998R homologation special number 635/700

• Formerly part of the Carlo Saltarelli collection in Italy

• Only showing 142km on the speedo, supplied with a V5C

The 998R was a limited edition model with only 700 being made to satisfy the homologation requirements to allow it to be raced in the World Superbike Championship. The factory F02 version of the 998R won 14 out of 27 races in the 2001 championship ridden by Troy Bayliss, Ben Bostrom, Rueben Xaus and Neil Hodgson with Bayliss taking the championship in front of Colin Edwards Honda. The 998R had different crankcases from the standard 998, with a deeper oil sump and a more radical cam with an oversquare 104 x 58.8 mm bore and stroke. This bike, number 635 of the 700 made, was bought by the vendor in 2012 at a RM auction in Monaco of Carlo Saltarelli’s collection of Ducatis. Saltarelli was a Ducati factory test rider, racer and dealer, who had put together an incredible selection of bikes over a 30 year period. There is some cosmetic damage suffered from the bike falling over and it has been started recently but it will need recommissioning before use. Supplied with a current V5C.

• Miniature version of the World Championship winning Grand Prix YFR500

• Reading just 291km on the speedo

• From an enthusiast’s collection

The Yamaha YSR50 was produced by Yamaha during the late 1980s and early 1990s as a miniature version of the World Championship winning Grand Prix YFR500, ridden to success by riders such as Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey.

This example , reading just 291km on the speedo, is supplied in the Blue colour scheme made famous by the French Sonauto team and its rider Christian Sarron. It has been part of a private collection and has stood for a few years, so it will need recommissioning before use. The bike has never been registered but the model was originally designed to be road legal, so it could be registered if the buyer wants to use it on public roads.

Husqvarna was founded near the Swedish town of the same name in 1689 and started out as a musket manufacturer (hence the firm’s logo depicting a gun sight viewed from the end of the barrel). As with many motorcycle manufacturers, Husqvarna first began producing bicycles in the late 19th century but by 1903 they had begun manufacturing powered two-wheelers. By the 1970s they were mainly known for their off-road bikes, popular in motocross and enduro events.

The WR 430 was the enduro version of the twin shock 430cc twostroke motocross bike, described by Cycle World magazine as “the best open-class enduro machine in existence” at the time.

This example, part of a private collection for the last few years and last run about 6 months ago, has undergone an extensive restoration keeping a good degree of originality using many NOS parts. As well as the cosmetics being refinished to a high standard, most of the wear and tear items have been serviced or replaced.

Suzuki was the first of the Japanese manufacturers to enter the Motocross world championship in 1964 with a bike ridden by Kazuo Kubo in the Swedish 250cc Motocross Grand Prix. They had a tough time at first and it was not until they signed Swedish rider Olle Peterson in 1967, that any progress was made but by the early 1970s they had begun to dominate the sport with riders such as Joel Robert, Roger De Coster, Harry Everts, Gerrit Wolsink and Gaston Rahier. A range of over the counter bikes followed, initially the air cooled TM series then the water cooled RM series. This 1982 RM250Z, part of a private collection for the last few years, and has been fully restored back to its original condition using many NOS parts. Presented in classic Suzuki motocross Yellow with blue stripes, it is very rare to find an old motocross bike that has not been destroyed with years of hard use. Part of a private collection for a number of years it was last run about 6 months ago.

Not much is known of the history of this professional speedway bike, but it looks to be a Godden Racing style frame housing a GM SR Series 500cc engine. The GM engine was designed by Giuseppe Marzotto who began competing in off-road racing at the age of 16, riding under the pseudonym “Charlie Brown”, because his parents were opposed to him entering such events. In the late 1970s he began to develop his own speedway motor with the first version produced in 1979. The engine become known as the GM and the first major success was achieved in 1983 when Egon Muller won the 1983 Speedway World Championship. Since then the GM has won more than 40 world speedway and longtrack championships. It is thought that this bike was ridden by Iain Macaulay in speedway events for a team based in Scotland,

This Triton appears to have been first put together in the early 1970s and has been part of a private collection since 1998. Looking at the numbers, the Featherbed frame came off 1959/60 Model 50 and the engine a 1961 6T Thunderbird. Receipts show around £850 spent with Unity Equipe in 1985 including Triton rearsets, Oil Tank with battery box, Manx 5 gallon alloy tank, Manx seat and various other cafe racer style parts.

The Honda Gold Wing is a series of touring motorcycles manufactured by Honda. Gold Wings feature a shaft drive and a flat engine. Mooted by press in September 1974 as “The world’s biggest motorcycle manufacturer’s first attack on the over 750cc capacity market”, it was introduced at the Cologne Motorcycle Show in October 1974.

Offered here is a US specification GL 1999 K2 1977 model, manufactured Nov 1976, imported to UK in 2014. In a tidy condition throughout, and reported to be in running order, this machine has seen little use in last couple of years; it will require light recommissioning before any use. Having already having achieved classic status, Gold Wings of the 1970s are becoming increasingly sought after and ‘WGF’ represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a very presentable example. The paperwork file includes the V5C, Nova notification, old MOTs VJMC dating certificate and invoices.

• Reported to be in very good condition

The Suzuki GS series was Suzuki Motor Corporation’s first full range of 4-stroke powered road motorcycles, having previously almost exclusively manufactured 2-stroke machines. Suzuki had produced the 4-stroke Colleda COX 125cc and 93cc 4-stroke single-cylinder machines in 1955.

An imported motorcycle, we believe this is a 1981 machine that has been registered with the DVLA in 1994, when it came to these shores. Reported to be in very good condition, an MOT expired May 2022, ‘FNP’ has not been used recently; sensibly the vendor advises a check-over and service before use.

• Purchased by the current vendor a few years ago

The Suzuki GSX-R1100 is a sport-bike from Suzuki’s GSX-R series of motorcycles produced from 1986 until 1998. When the bike was new, magazines lauded its power, handling and relative lack of weight. Recent articles (some in comparison with newer sport bikes) still rave about the powerful 1100cc engine. Due to the ongoing development by Suzuki, different years have different handling characteristics on the road. Earlier bikes are lighter, while later models are more rigid and offer increased power with a level of increased weight.

Part of a private collection of Japanese machines, this Suzuki GSXR 1100 is in a very original condition. Purchased by the current vendor a few years ago, the machine was last run earlier this year but will need recommissioning before use.

Yamaha’s FZR750R OW01 was a homologation special. Yamaha introduced it to the public in time for the 1989 season with a cool ‘OW’ factory racer designation. The frame was developed from the FZ750R but the aluminium was of much higher quality, so much so it wasn’t even anodised. It got an Öhlins rear shock with remote hydraulic preload adjuster, a six-speed gearbox, magnesium and titanium parts, and a race engine. Like its FZ750 predecessor, the OW01 got an inline-four engine with a five-valve head, but with a difference - it was built for the race track.

This OW01 is just 1 of 500 examples and this machine has a very low chassis number (believed to be #101 on the chassis number). Previously part of a private collection, it was purchased by the current owner for his collection. It is an original full-power European Specification model in good order, with the bodywork presenting very well with some signs of use. It comes complete with a current V5C.

A series of two-stroke, chain-drive motorcycles manufactured and marketed by Suzuki in the 1970s, the GT moniker was applied across a range of different engine capacities and cylinder counts. The 1974 model-year saw Suzuki introduce the GT125. This model was similar in layout to the GT185 but with a shorter wheelbase and smaller engine displacement so shared only a few common parts. The rest of this model’s equipment followed that of the GT185. The electric starter was deleted, probably in the interests of economy, which allowed a more attractive selling price in the very competitive “beginner” market that this model competed in. This Suzuki GT125 was restored to a good standard a few years ago, having formed part of a private collection of Japanese machines since acquisition. Ridden sparingly by the vendor and showing some signs of use, it has been run this year. However, it will need light recommissioning before use. There is no accompanying documentation with this lot, a V5C will have to be applied for by the new keeper.

The Suzuki T350, also known as the Suzuki Rebel, is a 315cc, two-stroke, twin-cylinder motorcycle produced by the Japanese Suzuki company between 1969 and 1972. The model was based T305 and used an enlarged version of the T305 engine, which itself was an enlargement of the T20 unit. It was the fastest production 350 at the time. In 1972 a T350 was overall winner of the Australian Castrol Six Hour Production race at Amaroo Park but was subsequently disqualified but the same bike won the 500cc class in 1973. The model was dropped when the T380 triple was introduced in 1972.

This Suzuki T350 has formed part of a private collection and was purchased by the current vendor a few years ago. In good all-round condition with signs of use, it was running earlier this year and will need recommissioning before use. There is no accompanying documentation with this machine.

• Used sparingly since purchased and showing some signs of use Suzuki introduced their middle sized triple, the GT550, also known as the Indy in the States, during 1972 shortly after the introduction of the GT380. The two machines were visually similar although they differed considerably in detail, the GT380’s near 100 mph top speed and 38bhp. The downside to the extra performance of the GT550 was experienced at the petrol pump with the GT550 displaying a healthy thirst when ridden hard. The GT380 was a more frugal option, although visually not that different. This 1977 Suzuki GT380 has been restored to a good standard a few years ago and has been a part of an enthusiast’s private collection of Japanese motorcycles since purchased. Used sparingly since, it displays some signs of use. It has been run this year and will need light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C.

For Yamaha, the YA-2 in 1957, proved to be an immediate success in sporting events starting a long tradition of achievement that goes on to this day in Moto GP. The arrival of the RD range in the seventies cemented Yamaha’s reputation for high performance two strokes and the launch of the LC 250 and 350 models in 1980 revolutionised medium capacity motorcycling. The famous Pro-Am televised race series made for exciting and sometimes frightening Saturday afternoon viewing and kickstarted the careers of many a famous racer such as Niall Mackenzie and even Formula 1 world champion Damon Hill.

The Benelli 254, originally known as the Benelli 250 Quatro, is a 250 cc (15 cu in) inline four motorcycle produced by the Italian manufacturer Benelli from 1977 to 1984. It was at the time the smallest production four. The 250 models were built to take advantage of the tax concessions on machines under 250cc in Italy and other markets. Designed by engineer Lino Tonti and although a four, was a different design the larger 500/4. Styling was by Paolo Martin. The 250 Quatro was first shown at the 1975 Milan Motorcycle Show, and production started in 1977. Plastic and aluminium were used extensively to keep the weight down to 117 kg (258 lb). Martin’s sleek styling included uncluttered handlebars, with the clocks and brake master cylinder mounted in the tank.

Coming from an enthusiast’s private collection of motorcycles, this is an unusual four-cylinder machine and fairly rare. The subject of a previous restoration, it was last heard running a couple of years ago. This machine is offered with a Nova number.

Bimota obviously made its reputation wrapping lightweight frames and sexy bodywork around reliable powerplants from Japan, sexy powerplants from Ducati, and even the occasional German powerplant from BMW. Their early offerings used tube-style frames, but by the 1990s they’d moved on to aluminium beam frames. The Bimota YB9 SR was a in-line four, carburetted four-stroke sport motorcycle produced between 1996 and 1998. The “9” has nothing to do with the bike’s displacement and simply indicates that it’s the ninth Bimota powered by a Yamaha engine. It actually uses the liquidcooled inline-four and transmission from the YZF600R “Thundercat” with around 100hp and it even uses that bike’s stock gauge cluster, nestled in between the carbon air-intake tubes.

Coming from an enthusiast’s private collection of motorcycles, this YB9 SR was running recently and we have been advised it is in good order. Presenting in what is believed to be all original paint and panels, it will need some light recommissioning before use. This rare machine is offered with a V5C.

The Darmah is a motorcycle model produced by Ducati from 1977 to 1982. A machine born to respond to the commercial failure of the 860 GT of 1974. Leopoldo Tartarini, former Ducati rider and owner of Italjet, designed the new grand tourer, and created a bike with a more pleasant and sporty style than the 860 GT, inspired by another Ducati he designed, the Sport Desmo 350/500. The new model was presented in December 1976 at the Bologna Motor Show, and production began the following year. Compared to the 860 GT, the bike differed not only in terms of aesthetics but also in the use of Japanese-built instrumentation and electrical controls, for the use (for the first time on a road bike) of magnesium alloy wheels.

Part of a private collection of machines, the Darmah offered here has been restored to a good standard a couple of years ago. It has been used sparingly since completion due to having been on display. It comes complete with a current V5C. Some light recommissioning will be required before use.

While lacking the financial capital and big money race-team backing like that of the Japanese factories, Maico riders such as Adolf Weil, Åke Jonsson and Willy Bauer proved to be serious challengers to the Japanese factories and produced numerous top-three finishes in the Motocross World Championships. The firm also experienced some success in Grand Prix road-racing competitions with rider Börje Jansson winning three 125cc Grand Prix races between 1972 and 1973. Maicowerk AG filed for bankruptcy in 1983, but continued to produce small numbers of motocross and enduro models until 1986.

Suzuki ended the nineteen seventies in a strong position. The GS1000 maintained its position as one of the most desirable machines in its class and had quickly established itself as the ultimate muscle-bike, however, Suzuki recognised that their rivals would challenge their position in the market. As a consequence

Suzuki commissioned Target Design of Germany, to evolve a design that would maintain the company’s position at the head of the superbike field. First seen by the public at the 1980 Cologne Show as a concept, the design was to be regarded as one of the landmark machines in motorcycle history. The Katana featured a half-fairing, fuel tank and seat unit designed to combine the motorcycle and rider into one aerodynamically efficient package.

The water temperature gauge also doubles as a fuel tank contents gauge at the push of a RHS lever (very useful feature given their fuel consumption) and the front-fork preload can be altered from the top of the forks. There is also a red light mounted within the tachometer housing that comes on at the equivalent of 55mph (Japanese maximum national speed limit).

The speedo is of course calibrated in km/h.

The Spanish company Ossa entered competition with a debut at the 1952 ISDT in Austria. 250-engined motorcycles took OSSA to victory at the 1967 Montjuïc 24 hours race. A string of creditable competition results followed. Off-road models had been developing, so OSSA hired the English rider to design and ride a new trials bike in 1967. He dominated the trials championships on his Ossa ‘Plonker’ in the early 70s, taking the European Trials Championships in 1971 and 1972. Ossa released a machine in his honour, said to be one of the prettiest Trials bikes ever built, the Ossa MAR - the Mick Andrews Replica, which remained in production until the late 1970s. Andrews also won the Scottish Six Days Trial three years running - 1970, 1971 and 1972.

The Squirrel name was used for Scott motorcycles since 1921 but with the death of the founder Alfred Angas Scott in 1923 the unorthodox Scott two-stroke motorcycles began to become more conventional.

This Scott has been in the family since 1995, and being an older restoration it is in need of some recommissioning work. Originally bearing the London registration ‘GC 7497’ and registered in Feb 1930, notes in the document file suggest one time fitting of engine no 27TT4. The level of preparation (note Webb forks and twin float carb etc) suggest it may have been used for competition in the past. Further research may well prove rewarding. Although there is nothing in writing, family folklore suggests the machine may well have been exercised at Cadwell Park and possibly elsewhere. The paperwork file contains old MOTs, RF60 buff logbook and some notes etc. This Scott represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a potentially lively Scott, eminently suited to the Banbury Run and other VMCC runs and for occasional track events.

Produced by Ducati between 1987 and 1992, when it was succeeded by the Ducati 888, the Ducati 851 was the successor to the air-cooled two-valve Ducati 750 F1. Development had lagged with the continued use of two-valve engines, but new investment funded the technological advance that Ducati desperately needed. After buying Ducati, Cagiva invested in the development of another V-twin, but with liquid cooling, and four-valve desmodromic heads. This Ducati 851 must be one of the best on offer in the country. Fastidiously maintained to factory specification in every way. There has been a recent extensive engine overhaul, strip down and clean to a factory finish. All that was needed was replaced.

One of Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd’s first bikes was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner, who at the time was looking for work and showing drawings of his engine designs to various motorcycle manufacturers. In the days of predominately single-cylinder engines a square four layout was very advanced and the bike stayed in production until the late 1950s. The engine with two transverse crankshafts was essentially a pair of across-frame OHC parallel twins joined by their geared central flywheels, with a four-cylinder block and single head. The idea for the engine was rejected by BSA but adopted by Ariel, becoming their prestige model for the next 20 years.

This 1000cc Square Four 4G De Luxe was first registered in late 1937 and has been part of an enthusiast’s private collection of classics. The bike has been subject to a good authentic restoration that has been carried out keeping a good degree of originality including genuine Dunlop rims.

• Nice and original early 1970s Griffon 250 in standard trim

• Lightweight conical hubs, Ceriani style forks, Reynolds 531 frame

• Will need recommissioning, engine turns over on kickstarter

Greeves Motorcycles was founded by Bert Greeves in 1951 and produced a range of road machines and later competition mounts for trials, scrambles and road racing. The company first produced motorcycles in 1952, funded by a contract with the Ministry of Pensions for their Invacar. Using some of the knowledge and production techniques gained from the Invacar and utilising Villiers supplied engines they went onto great success in off-road competition, including Dave Bickers wins in the 1960 and 1961 European Scrambles World Championship. In an attempt to keep up with the rise of the Japanese manufacturers, Greeves launched the more conventional Griffon models featuring Ceriani style front suspension and a Reynolds frame housing a 2-stroke engine with tuning help from QUB.

This c.1970 model, being offered at no reserve, has been stood for a few years so will need some recommissioning but the engine turns over and the gears select. It appears to have survived in quite standard and original condition and will make a rewarding project to either display or use in period off-road events.

• ST2 Ducati Sports Tourer, only 3 owners from new

• Fitted with a pair of genuine Ducati colour-matched touring panniers

• Long MOT until July 2023 and supplied with a current V5C

In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes Ducati’s chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V Twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smarts’ win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a long tradition of racewinning bikes that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The ST2 was launched to satisfy the demand for a more comfortable sports tourer that kept the character of the classic Ducati V twin, sharing some components with the more sporty 916.

This 1998 ST2 in Silver has only had 3 owners from new and comes fitted with a set of genuine Ducati touring panniers. The bike is in excellent condition and has been in regular use for touring around the UK and is only being sold because the vendor needs to cut down his collection. The bike comes with an MOT until July 1st, 2023 and a current V5C.

After the WWII, Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 1960s were second only to Honda in numbers of two-wheelers manufactured. The oil cooled GSXr750 was launched in 1985 and revolutionised the sports bike market, eventually spreading out to include race replicas from 250cc to 1100cc models.

This New Old Stock c.1996 GSXr750 SRAD was part of a large franchised dealers stock who upon closure in 2000 took everything home and mothballed them in his house. The bike is just how it would have been when taken out of its packing case all those years ago and displayed in the shop awaiting sale. This time warp machine has never been run, used or registered and comes supplied with a VMCC dating letter, a letter from Suzuki GB confirming duty paid and even the original Suzuki Owners Registration card.

The Triumph T160 Trident was launched in 1975, in a desperate attempt to make the Trident model a success following the disappointing sales of the original T150 version, which was announced in 1968. Completely restyled and with more than 200 mechanical modifications, the T160 was the bike that belatedly dragged Triumph into the modern era.

This T160 has been in long-term ownership and used for many years. Enjoyed on many enthusiast events, the machine is showing signs of use. ‘LGH 470N’ could be an easy winter ‘freshen-up’ project.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries is one of the largest corporations in Japan producing a wide range of products from rolling stock to ships. After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Company they began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawasaki name in the early sixties, first continuing development of the K1 BSA A10 copy but soon moving on to build a reputation for high performance 2 stroke twins and triples. In the early ‘70s they returned to producing four strokes with the four-cylinder Z1 and in 1975 launched the twin-cylinder Z750 incorporating twin dynamic balancer shafts.

The current owner has enjoyed this Kawasaki Z750 over the years. We have been advised by the vendor that it is running and rides well at the time of consignment. An ideal machine to bring back up to a high standard, it is an all correct numbers machine that is offered here with a current V5C.

Post-WWII, James production was all 2-stroke powered, the most notable models of that era being the 250cc Villiers single pot Commodore and its 250cc twin-cylinder engined successor, the Superswift.

Gobbled up by AMC in 1963, James production ceased for good when the group collapsed just three years later.

This James Cadet has a matching frame, engine and registration, all certified by the Coventry Archives. With an overhaul of the engine, including new bearings and oil seals, the bike’s frame has also been powder-coated to match the original colour specification. One upgrade has been a new wiring loom with 6v LED lighting. In addition, all the tinware is believed to be correct. The rear shocks have been upgraded to Girling and the wheels rebuilt with new spokes and Dunlop tyres. Offered with the machine are documents, a manual and a few spare parts, including a Smiths speedometer and original handlebars (both needing work).

As Triumph production reverted to civilian machines immediately after the end of World War II, the company announced the new 3T, a 350cc companion to Edward Turner’s 500cc 5T Speed Twin. The 3T was similar in many respects to the Speed Twin, but also borrowed features from the TRW and 3TW military motorcycles.

The basic engine design followed the 5T, but featured rocker boxes incorporated into the iron cylinder-head casting and a built-up crankshaft with one-piece connecting rods. The punchy, vertical twin developed 19bhp and was timed by Motor Cycling testers at 74mph on the top end. Ridden normally, the 3T returned fuel economy approaching 80mpg and was warmly received by economy-minded buyers.

This Triumph was discovered in a coal shed. An early post-war model in need of restoration, all the parts that are available are in the pictures. It is offered with an old-style RF60.

An immediate racing success, it began a long tradition of achievement that continues today in Moto GP and WorldSBk racing.

• A ride or restore machine of the vintage era

The Sunbeam Longstroke was the fastest production, single cylinder, side-valve motorcycle in its day. The model stayed in production for the life of the company and the subsequent AMC take-over in late 1937. It underwent many stylistic changes; notably from flat tank to saddle tank in 1929.

This Sunbeam Longstroke was purchased by the vendor in the late 1960s. Restored by the late vendor in the 1970s, this machine has been used and enjoyed over the decades since restoration, as a machine to ride. Alas, in more recent times the machine has not been used for several years due to the vendor’s advancing years. ‘RE 3389’ is offered as a ‘ride or restore’ machine of the vintage era. It comes with a current V5C, a duplicate continuation RF60, various paperwork, and letters. Due being laid up in recent times, it will need recommissioning before any use on the road.

• This Suzuki GS1000S was restored to a good standard in 2013

• It was then placed in a private collection until 2018

• Since ownership, this GS has had a top-end overhaul and a new clutch

Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution in 1977 with the GS750. A year later the full 1000cc version was launched setting a new benchmark in the superbike division. In 1979 the ‘S’ version arrived sporting a nose cone fairing, 18” rear wheel and race inspired paintwork going on to dominate AMA superbike racing in the USA with riders such as Wes Cooley and Graeme Crosby. The Suzuki GS1000S model was a super sports variation of the standard GS1000, with a distinctive paint scheme and fairing (aka the Wes Cooley replica).

This Suzuki GS1000S was restored to a good standard in 2013. It was then placed in a private collection until 2018. Since the current ownership, this GS has had a top-end overhaul and a new clutch. In addition, the forks have been re-chromed and painted and is now described by the vendor as ‘running well’ at the time of consignment. It is offered complete with a current V5C and various documents. Please note that frame is stamped with an ‘E’ instead of an ‘S’, however, the VJMC has confirmed the machine as an ‘S’.

• The engine has been changed sometime in its life

In 1937 the Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the postwar years. To capture the American market, the 6T Thunderbird used a variant of the earlier Speed Twin’s parallel-twin engine, bored out from 500cc to 650cc to give the added horsepower American customers demanded.[2] The concept of enlarging the Speed Twin, the Thunderbird name and its ‘paper dart’ logo were thought up by managing director Edward Turner on one of his regular trips to Triumph’s operations in the USA. The ‘paper dart’ logo was embossed onto the chain case cover on Thunderbirds from 1955 to 1962

This Triumph has been recently found in a garage, it had been stored since purchased in November 1992. At some time in its life the engine has been changed. Coming to auction to be sold as viewed along with some parts to complete a restoration. ‘WSK 270’ is offered with a V5C, however, the engine number shown is incorrect.

Norton debuted a new, over head cam single cylinder engine designed by Walter Moore during the 1927 season. Conceived in response to rumours of similar designs being developed by rival manufacturers , the new power unit retained the 79 x 100mm dimensions synonymous with the Norton marque. The introduction of a production version of the new machine debuted for the 1928 season. Typed the CS1, the new over head cam model shared its frame and cycle parts with the equally new overhead valve ES2. The CS1 was joined by a 350cc version, the CSJ, during 1928 with both machines continuing in largely unaltered form into the ‘30s. By the mid ‘30s, the CS1 had evolved into a potent sports tourer complimenting the sporting International in the range.

Restored by the previous owner prior to the purchase and used on many VMCC events throughout ownership, we have been advised the Norton is running well and is offered with a current V5C and some old MOT certificates.

• This iconic MV Agusta 750 S is in very original condition

• Previously on display for many years at the Midland Motor Museum

• The mileage is believed correct, due to lack of use on display

Launched in 1970, the MV Agusta 750 S was hand-built, rare and priced accordingly with just 583 examples ever built. The MV 750 S was developed from the MV Agusta 4C 600cc. The engine was then bored out to 743cc with the additional fitting of four Dell’ Orto carburettors and increasing it to 65bhp The colour scheme was unique for the 705 S, painted in Red, White and Blue. A very desirable machine today and one for the MV collector.

This iconic MV Agusta 750 S has been in the vendor’s custodianship since 1986. For many years the machine was on display at the Midland Motor Museum, then bought by the vendor who then loaned it back to the museum. Due to the bike’s lack of use as a static display, the mileage is believed correct. Recommissioning will be required before use, due to having been in storage, but has been run from time to time. There is a current V5C and various paperwork, including old MOT certificates and a purchase receipt on file.

The Vincent Comet was one of four 499cc single models. As well as the sports Comet, Vincent produced a TT racing model, the Comet Special (a TT model with lights) and the standard Vincent Meteor, which shared many of the same cycle parts. The prototype Series A was refined and developed into a production model Series B, but after World War II it was the development of the Series C that represents the ultimate Vincent 500cc single.

The Vincent Comet on offer was purchased by the late vendor in 2008 and is an all-correct numbers as per factory records. For the late owner, the reason for the purchase was purely related to the fact that his HRD Rapide was fast and his friends could not keep up!

The Vincent is accompanied by a current V5C, a continuation logbook from 1959 and various old MOT certificates and some paperwork.

Ernie Humphries and Charles Dawes began making motorcycles in York Road, Hall Green, Birmingham in 1899. After the WW1, the company concentrated on manufacturing one model, the OK Junior. Early bikes were only available as direct drive with the Union 293cc 2 stroke engine made by Josiah Parkes & Sons Ltd of the Union works, Willenhall.

Believed to be the only restored & running example in the UK. Once claimed to be the ‘Ford Model T’ of the motorcycle world, this rare machine was awarded 3rd place at the Bristol Classic Motorcycle Show of 2020. No factory records exist for these motorcycles, but each bike carried a small brass plaque on to which the details of the machine were stamped. This one was built on the 23rd of June 1920, and still carries its original Leicestershire registration number. Restored in 1978, by Kevin Hellowell, it was displayed in a museum called Automobilia in Yorkshire until it closed. The current owner has repainted and treated the petrol tank with sealer and has used this machine to participate in various VMCC events including the Banbury run.

• We have been advised it has been running but will require some light recommissioning

The CB750 was the first motorcycle to be called a “superbike”. An air-cooled, transverse, in-line four-cylinder engine motorcycle made by Honda over several generations, it was produced from 1969 to 2003 as well as 2007 with an upright or standard riding posture. Although other manufacturers had marketed a similar transverse engine configuration, Honda popularized the configuration with the CB750, and the layout subsequently became the dominant sport bike engine layout. The CB750 was named in the Discovery Channel’s “Greatest Motorbikes Ever” and The Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc. rates the CB750 as one of the 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology.

Coming from a private collection of machines hand-picked machines owned by an enthusiast collector, this example was restored a few years ago to a good standard. We have been advised that it has been ‘running’ but will require some light recommissioning.

Not proven, however, the petrol tank it appears to be an original Team Hansen tank with just a quick filler inlet and the frame design is a late ’71/72 model. The factory used the late ’71 H1RAS for development of the new H2R, released the following year. The engine internals are H1RAS factory specification, with a close ratio gearbox, a roller bearing crank, highly ported barrels with bridged inlet and exhaust ports.

The machine has been the subject of an overhaul of the forks, brakes and engine. The engine was stripped and washed, with the crank having been taken to Kawasaki crank specialist, Mr Gary Clark, who overhauled it utliising genuine rods, mains, and seals. The barrels were rebored with and the engine was rebuilt with new pistons and rings correctly installed; the gearbox was inspected and new bearings and seals were installed.

Introduced before WW2 the Matchless G3 became highly popular as the main motorcycle used by the British Army. After military upgrades, the Matchless G3/L was born. This modification dealt mainly with weight reduction and the “L” signifies “lightweight”. In all, over 80,000 motorcycles were produced for the military during WWII. Post war the G3 had several upgrades including a swing arm suspension, aluminium cylinder head, and uprated engine bearings. In 1958 an alternator was offered along with a steering damper, brake light and an air filter. This standard and very late Matchless G3 was used up until 2 years ago, according to the vendor, and was in full running condition at the time and has not been used since.

The Squirrel name was used for Scott motorcycles since 1921 but with the death of the founder Alfred Angas Scott in 1923 the unorthodox Scott two-stroke motorcycles began to become more conventional. Development of the three-speed Scott Flying Squirrel began in 1922 as the company was in severe debt and faced receivership. Launched at the 1926 Earls Court motorcycle show, the Flying Squirrel was expensive - nearly twice the cost of a sporting four-stroke motorcycle of the time. Updated version were produced. In 1950, the rights were bought by the Birmingham based Aerco Company and in 1956 they produced what are known as the Birimingham Scotts.

The vendor has owned this beautifully restored Scott for around 40 years. Within that ownership, the machine was restored to a concours standard and then not used much since. The restoration costs for this machine are said to have been approximately £10,000. Light recommissioning will be required before use, due to storage.

The crankshaft had roller bearings at each end and full-circle flywheels worthy of the job. Cylinder barrels were iron, with aluminium heads.

This Moto Rumi Super Sport has been fully restored to a showwinning standard and has minimal use since then. It has come from a dedicated Moto Rumi collector (Mike Webster). This is a rare model in the UK today, and in this quality, seen here. A rare machine, it comes from 45 years in its current ownership.

• With the current vendor for 10 years

• Restored c.10 years ago

• An ideal little lightweight machine that has been enjoyed

The Velocette Valiant was a British motorcycle produced by Velocette from 1957 to 1963. Launched at the 1956 Earl’s Court Motorcycle Show, the Valiant had a 192cc flat-twin engine but was expensive and criticized for its underpowered engine. In the mid-1950s Velocette had two very different lines of motorcycles. Alongside the larger and more conventional M series, they produced a series of enclosed small capacity four-stroke flat twins for the commuter market, when most of their competitors were producing two-stroke singles. Launched at the Earls Court Show in November 1956 the Velocette Valiant was a development of the Velocette LE. It had a two piece cover that enclosed most of the crankcase and gearbox.

This Velocette Valiant has been with the current vendor for 10 years. Restored around 10 years ago, the restoration is still holding up well. An ideal little lightweight machine that has been enjoyed, however, it will require light recommissioning before use. The Valiant is offered with a current V5C.

• A good winter project being offered at no reserve with a NOVA Norton was founded by James Lansdowne Norton in Birmingham in 1898 and began building motorcycles with French and Swiss engines in 1902. In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. Developed for their Manx Norton race bikes, the legendary Featherbed frame eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc Dominator twin cylinder engine. Once matched up to Norton’s own Roadholder forks it set new standards for handling, with the basic geometry still being copied to this day.

This matching numbers c.1955 Dominator is a 600cc Model 99 and is being offered sold as seen as a ‘no reserve’ winter project. Its history is unknown but it appears to have been repatriated from overseas and comes supplied with a NOVA number 15E206418.

• Fastened at the side of the push bikes rear wheel

• 118cc air cooled engine controlled by a single lever

The Wall Auto Wheel was designed by Arthur W. Wall of Birmingham in 1908 and made by Auto-Wheel Ltd between 1909-1914. A 20-inch wheel is attached to a one horsepower single-cylinder, air-cooled petrol engine of 118cc, featuring an atmospheric inlet valve and side exhaust valve. The engine was mounted in a subframe that allowed it to be attached alongside the rear wheel of a pedal cycle at three points with the motor driving its own integral wheel. It was controlled by a single lever and cable fitted to the handlebars. With some very imaginative publicity in the day, it proved to be popular prior to the First World War giving many people their first taste of powered transport. This fascinating little engine, being offered at no reserve, is over 110 years old and will make a very interesting winter project and once attached to a period push bike will create a lot of interest wherever it is used.

1957 Douglas Dragonfly -

• This Douglas Dragonfly has been restored for around 20 years

• The current vendor has owned the Douglas since 1983

• A few light modifications from a standard machine

By the end of the war in 1945, Douglas restarted motorcycle production – much to the surprise of the industry, as it was generally expected that the war had led to other interests, with the company being taken over by Aero Engines Ltd, so there were not many engineering staff left for the development of new motorcycles. The Douglas T35 used the same flat-twin 350cc as the generator, mounted in a duplex fame with torsion bar rear suspension. The T35 was an unexpected export success; 1947 factory records show them being exported to Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, Santiago, and Russia.

This Douglas Dragonfly has benefitted from a restoration some 20 years ago. Residing with the current owner since 1983 and at some point the Dragonfly has been the subject of a few modifications from a standard machine. Some light recommissioning will be required before use, due to having come from storage.

• The Wittler has seen very little use since 1959 The Wittler & Co. (post war Wittler Bros) was founded in 1924, building motorcycles powered by 250cc two-strokes, in addition to bicycles. They introduced commercial transport tricycles in 1936 powered by 98cc Fichtel & Sachs engines. Post WWII, they built lightweights, mopeds and motorised tricycles using JLO, Sachs and possibly Zundapp or Lohmann engines 1950-1956. There was also a Wittler moped produced in Horsens, Denmark during the 1950s by Hede Nielsens Fabriker. It seems that they were built under license to the German company whose logo they used, but were fitted with engines from VAP, BFC, Estonia, Express and others - there were numerous models.

This very unusual moped is a rare survivor in the UK and in extremely original condition for its age. Made by or produced as a Wittler in 1956, this pretty moped has seen very little use since 1959. It is UK registered and needs recommissioning. A nice little project machine, perhaps retaining the patina.

• This Panther M100S has had a fair amount of work carried out

• A stalled restoration project due to ill health

• It is believed the engine and gearbox has been rebuilt (no details on file)

Phelon & Moore manufactured motorcycles in Cleckheaton, Yorkshire, England from 1904 to 1967 particularly those under the Panther marque. They became identified with one particular design of motorcycle which had a large sloping 40-degree singlecylinder engine as a stressed front frame member. This design spanned the entire history of the company, starting with a 500cc model and ending with a 645cc model.

This Panther M100S has had a fair amount of work carried out to it. A stalled restoration project due to ill health, it is believed the engine and gearbox have already been overhauled (no details on file).

In 1924, Alphonse Tallet, Charles Benoît and Abel Bardin designed their first motorcycle, the MB1. Out of this comes the Motobécane, an undamped pendulum fork model equipped with a 175 cm3 twin-cylinder two-stroke engine with belt transmission. This very simple model will sell until 1929 and be sold alongside other small motorcycles. Motoconfort became a brand of Motobécane. It is also created in order not to jeopardize the new success of the company in case of sales failure. Motobécane was taken over by Yamaha in 1986.

This is an unusual 1926 French lightweight machine has been the subject of a restoration that stalled due to ill-health. There is further work still to be carried out on this machine and therefore it is sold as seen and viewed in person or as in the photographs. It comes complete with a V5C.

• Very little use since it has been completed

• Purchased for a private collection from Europe in 2017

Like so many of the once prolific and now long-gone British motorcycle manufacturers, James started out making bicycles, producing their first motorcycle in 1902. During the 1930s, the Birmingham-based firm were manufacturing 4-stroke singles and large capacity V-twins, even a 499cc Rudge-engined bike. By 1937, however, all their engines were sourced from Villiers. Post-WW2, James production was all 2-stroke powered, the most notable models of that era being the 250cc Villiers single pot Commodore and its 250cc twin-cylinder engined successor, the Superswift. A small utility motorcycle of the 1950s and early 1960s, the James Cadet is typical of many thousands of similar machines built by British manufacturers. Gobbled up by AMC in 1963, James production ceased for good when the group collapsed just three years later.

This little James Cadet 125 has previously been restored to a high standard. With very little use since it has been completed, it was purchased by the vendor for a private collection from Europe in 2017. Nova paperwork is on file. This machine will need to be UK registered by any new owner.

For 1971 the Mark 3 and “Desmo” ranges underwent considerable revisions that resulted in the style of the machines diverging. The “Desmos” adopted a fibreglass tank complimented by a racing style seat with a fibreglass hump and clip on handlebars accentuating its sporting characteristics while the Mark 3’s adopted a new petrol tank, followed by a revised dual seat, side covers, instruments and headlight in 1972, reflecting the style of the 750 GT and establishing the machines final form.

It is a landmark model in Honda’s advances in western motorcycle markets of the 1960s, noted for its speed and power as well as its reliability, and is regarded as one of the bikes that set the standard for modern motorcycles. The CB77 had, at only 305cc, a relatively big engine in comparison to most other Japanese bikes of the period, although it had performance to rival much larger motorcycles from other countries. It quickly built a reputation for reliability and was equipped with luxuries such as an electric starter. This CB77 has been through an ongoing sympathetic restoration. Lots of work has been carried out since ownership. As described by the vendor, “it will be a rider’s machine”. Currently being registered, paperwork expected by the auction.

• 1956 Norton ‘Dominator 99’ frame

• Triumph Tiger 100 500cc engine

Offered here is a ‘Cafe Racer’ styled machine, registered as a Triton in April of 1967. The components are a 1956 Norton Dominator 99 frame with a Triumph Tiger 100 500cc engine believed to be from 1955 with what is described to us as ‘good compression’.

• Supplied with an MOT into May 2023 and a current V5C

After mainly producing single cylinder designs for their road bikes Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive vee twin layout has now become Guzzis signature design. In 1979 a small block version of the air-cooled V-twin motor was designed by engineer Lino Tonti, initially as a 350cc but quickly growing into the V50 500cc and ultimately a range of 750cc models. This gave riders the style and character of the big block Guzzis in a far lighter and more manageable package.

There is only thought to have been 100 750Ts originally sold in the UK by the importer Three Cross Motorcycles as a special order from the factory combining the Targa frame with the V50 bodywork. This example had been off the road for a while but has been recommissioned with new front disc, pads and fitted with a Lucas Rita ignition kit in 2021. The bike comes supplied with a few receipts, an MOT until 24-05-2023 and a current V5C.

• Ideal winter project to restore or convert into a Trials special

• The vendor reports it has been fitted with a 500cc top end

• Offered at no reserve and comes supplied with a current V5C

A.J. Stevens & Co Ltd started producing motorcycles in 1897. Success in racing soon followed with Eric Williams’ win in the 1914 TT, the firm also taking second, third, fourth and sixth places so beginning a long line of sporting achievements. An amalgamation with Matchless in 1931 formed Associated Motor Cycles which continued until the group’s closure in the mid-60s. The NG350 was built mainly for the British military, designed by the firm’s chief engineer Val Page around an engine he had developed six years earlier and based on a Scottish six-day Trials winning model, going into production in 1940. The Ariel was not initially selected by the War Department but they were in great demand after the evacuation of Dunkirk when much of the British Army’s materiel had been left behind.

This 1948 model, being offered at no reserve, has been fitted with a 500cc top end and will make an ideal winter project to restore back to original or possibly convert into a period trials bike. The bike comes supplied with a current V5C.

• This Honda CB 350 has been part of a private collection

• Mostly original with some signs of use

• A correct numbers machine

The Honda CB350 is a 325.6-cubic-centimetre (19.87 cu in) OHC parallel twin cylinder, four-stroke motorcycle produced by Honda for model years 1968 through 1973. With its reliable engine and dual Keihin carburettors, it became one of Honda’s best-selling models. More than 250,000 were sold in five years, with 67,180 sold in 1972 alone. The CB350 evolved during its production run with cosmetic changes and improvements to the suspension and brakes.

This attractive example of a Honda CB 350, has been part of a private collection for many years. It presents as ‘mostly’ original with some signs of use, it is believed to be a correct numbers machine. Light recommissioning will be required before use on the road after having been on display for a while. It is offered with a current V5C.

• Running this year and will need light recommissioning before use

The CBR400RR in 1992 was referred to as the ‘Baby Blade’ replica, then in 1994 it was styled to closely look like the CBR900RR or Fireblade motorcycle. Though over the years, in performance and handling, it was more closely compared to the CBR600. The CBR400RR preceded the 900cc Fireblade by four model years, going through one major rework (signified by a new “gull-arm” swingarm design).

Having formed part of a trio of Honda Fireblades from a private collection, the vendor purchased it a few years ago and has not used it much at all. We are led to believe that the machine has been running this year and will need some level of light recommissioning before use on the road. It is offered here along with a current V5C.

The CR250M Elsinore began selling in 1973. It had a two-stroke engine and was one of the first of its class and set the standard for two-stroke motorcycle development. In 1974 and 1975, the CR250M design changed little. In 1978, Honda revised the CR250M and renamed it the CR250R, the R standing for race. In 1981, Honda introduced a new suspension. The 1984 model had a new hydraulic front disc brake, and a new exhaust valve. Between then and 1990 the CR250R had minor changes such as hydraulic rear brake, Showa front suspension, and a bigger carburettor. Having been a part of a private collection of machines, this Honda has been on display since it was purchased. An ideal motorcycle for many off-road events, this example will require light recommissioning before a new owner can use to its full potential, due to it having been stood for a while.

• Not run for in the last years as it’s been on display

The Honda NSR250 and Honda RS250RW were race motorcycles manufactured by Honda Racing Corporation to race in the 250cc class of the Grand Prix motorcycle World Championship. Both names identified the factory specification bikes entrusted to works teams, while customer teams used the production racer Honda RS250R. The first bike debuted in 1985 as Honda RS250RW, then from 1986 to 2002 the factory bikes were named NSR250. In 2003 the RS250RW name was resurrected until the demise of the 250cc class.

This Honda NSR250R was purchased for a private collection. A rare road model in the UK today, this ‘R’ machine has not run in the recent years as it’s been on display. This machine will need to be UK registered as the machine previously resided in the USA. Light recommissioning will be required before any use by its new owner.

• Light recommissioning will be required before use

The Honda NS400R was a street-legal road-oriented two-stroke sport bike produced by Honda Motor Co., Ltd between 1985 and 1987 and inspired by Honda’s NS500 (also known as the RS500R) 500cc GP-bike ridden by Freddie Spencer. The NS400R is the largest-displacement, street-legal two-stroke road bike that Honda produced. The limited-production NS400R was only sold from 1985 to 1988. Freddie Spencer grabbed Honda’s first 500cc class win in 15 years on an NS500 in 1982, and then rode a lighter and more powerful NS500 to a 1983 500cc World Championship. Yamaha and Suzuki had already released street-legal replica racers, and Honda answered the challenge with the NS400R in 1985. The 387cc liquid-cooled two-stroke V-3 cranked out 72hp at 9,500rpm.

This Honda NS400R has formed part of a collection of motorcycles. In good condition and complete with its striking Rothmans colour scheme, it has not been used since purchased a couple of years ago. The machine will require light recommissioning before any use, especially for road use. A V5C will need to be applied for once with a new owner.

• Limited edition, thought to be only about 500 produced between 1997 and 1998

• Unregistered, only reading 33km on the speedo and in excellent condition

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. Honda forged their reputation in the early sixties with some incredible 4-stroke race bikes including the 50cc CR110, a double overhead cam single-cylinder that made 8.5hp at 13,500rpm.

Launched in 1997 to commemorate Honda’s successful 1962 CR110 singlecylinder racer, the Dream AC15 became instantly collectible with the shortlived production run intended for the Japanese Domestic Market. Only a few have made it to the UK with this particular example being offered in immaculate condition, showing only 33km (21 miles) on the speedo, and has been part of a private collection on display in the vendors house. Not run for a number of years, the bike has been dry stored and comes complete with a brand-new battery and the original Japanese language instruction book. A tribute to the brilliance of Japanese engineering, it will need some recommissioning and registering before use.

The new TM 250 in a striking Suzuki Aspen Yellow, was based on the similar TS250 trail bike ridden by World Champion, Joel Robert and shared many engine parts including the figure of eight type Magneto cover and clutch operated through a worm and push rod arrangement. The sprocket cover was fitted with three diagonal slits and all the cases were finished in a satin matt black colour. An exhaust system with no rear silencer certainly made the machine sound good and courtesy of a five-speed constant mesh gearbox it produced 30bhp at 7,500rpm. Footrests were of the folding-fabricated sheet steel type. The wheels had aluminium alloy rims, with the total weight of the bike was a very competitive 220 lbs dry.

This little Suzuki is a rare survivor of the marque today. Restored a few years ago to a good standard and not used much since, it comes from a private collection of machines. Last run earlier this year, it will need light recommissioning before use. There is no documentation accompanying this machine.

• Vendor says “Checked over and is ready to race again”

The Matchless G50 is an historic racing British motorcycle made by Associated Motorcycles (AMC) at the former Matchless works in Plumstead, London. Developed in 1958 from the 350 cc AJS 7R, but with the engine capacity increased to 500cc, 180 G50s were built in the next four years. Although less powerful than its main competitor the Norton Manx the G50 proved highly competitive at three hundred pounds and was faster round bends. If success is measured by longevity then this is the most successful Matchless motorcycle, and high-specification replicas are still being produced to this day, although financial problems at AMC ended production in 1963.

Offered here is a replica G50 engine complete, as built by Ron Lewis 2016. The original weighed in at 496cc (51hp@7,200rpm when new). These engines have been used for classic racing in its time, along with the 7R. We are informed by the vendor that it was checked over and is ready to race again. Ideal for a project bike or with the 7R for 350 and 500 races. Sold as viewed and or as per the pictures.

The Laverda Jota is a Laverda 1000cc Italian motorcycle suggested by the importers Slater Bros. of Collington, near Bromyard, Herefordshire, England. Based on the existing 1973-1981 Laverda 3C model that made 85hp @ 7,250rpm and reaching speeds of more than 130 mph, the new Jota made a big impression in 1976. The Laverda Jota model ran from 1976 through to 1982. The Jota is powered by a 981cc DOHC air cooled inline triple and had a dry weight of 234 kg.

This Laverda Jota was purchased by the vendor in 2000 who subsequently committed to a light restoration that was carried out in order to put the machine back onto the road. The engine was subject to an overhaul, including a new crank, pistons and valves etc. Described to us as running ‘very well’ and ready for its new owner, it is offered with a current V5C and a Slater Brothers certificate of authenticity.

We are told by the vendor that this motorcycle’s unique Australian history starts with Mr. Chapman, the local butcher of Port Augusta, SA. It is believed Mr. Chapman bought the James new in 1915. He rode it for about a year until his wife loathingly relegated it to under the house until Mr Warren Hicks bought it in 1958. It was then sold to the late Mr. David Provan who undertook a light restoration. Originally, it had a wicker sidecar, but this sadly rotted away and was replaced with a period sidecar. It was then purchased by the vendor’s father who left it to him when he passed away.

Finished in Brown, Gold, and Red, sporting original James decals, acetylene lights, leather tool panniers, and superb alloy appointments this is a well-preserved veteran side-valve single with period sidecar.

• Late 1980s/ early 1990s special

• Believed to be a earlier supplied BSA frame and a Norton gearbox

From a background in servicing grasstrack and speedway engines, Brian Valentine and his Weslake experienced father Ron sought to utilise the Weslake single overhead cam engine (SOHC). Born from the highly successful Weslake Speedway engine, the BVR engine five valve ran on a single overhead camshaft. The arrangement was low in weight over a twin cam. The addition of 5 valves to the light Weslake SOHC design provided more power in the low to mid range.

Offered here is a BVR special. Believed to utilise a 500cc BVR engine built by Brian Valentine Racing (BVR) in the late 1980s. BVR only supplied the engine, but they did recommend other components to be used in conjunction to get the best from the engine. Thought to include an AMAL 38mm carburettor, Norton gearbox, ICV 100 cam, Norton Dominator swinging arm, Roadholder forks, and Triumph conical hubs. There is an extensive history documented in a couple of files with the machine, that in essence document the relationship of the Kent engine builder and a conscientious privateer customer and bike builder.

• The engine turns over on kickstart, supplied with a current V5C

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. The legendary CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike, with the most collectable ones being the first c.7,000 models that used the distinctive ‘Sandcast’ crankcases amongst other unique features.

It is rare to find an unrestored 1969 Sandcast, this CB750 is frame number 101648 and engine number 101596, so must be one of the early bikes manufactured by Honda. It seems to have retained many of its unique features, even down to many of the bolts having a number 8 cast into the head. There can’t be many early Sandcast left that have not been fully restored, so this is a good opportunity to acquire an excellent starting point for a rewarding rebuild. The engine turns over on the kickstarter, and whilst it appears to have spent much of its life in the USA, it comes UK registered on a current V5C.

Triumph engineers were allowed to build a new sports bike from scratch. What they came up with was 100% sports bike, in the form of the 1998 model year Triumph Daytona T595. It possessed an all-new liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 955cc, three-cylinder power plant, capable of producing 130 horsepower and 100 Nm of torque, matched to a much lighter, aluminum-tube, perimeter frame, which meant the bike could now compete with all the other superbikes available on the market. Even the suspension was redesigned, consisting of a Showa 45mm fork and a Showa multiadjustable shock rear suspension, so the Daytona didn’t struggle in corners, like its predecessors.

This Triumph Daytona has been enjoyed by the current vendor and owned by him for a few years. The bike is showing some signs of use and enjoyment, however, it was serviced some 1000 miles ago. It has previously received two new tyres along with new fuel lines and pipes. The machine is offered complete with a current MOT, old MOT certificates, the V5C and a tool kit.

The Norton Commando is a British Norton-Villiers motorcycle with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, produced by the Norton Motorcycle company from 1967 until 1977. Initially having a nominal 750cc displacement, actually 745cc, in 1973 it became an 850cc, actually 828cc. It had a hemi-type head, similar to all OHV Norton engines since the early 1920s. The larger 850 engine was introduced initially as an alternative to the 750, but as the sole option from late 1973. All 850 models were fitted with a front disc brake. During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the United Kingdom it won the Motor Cycle News “Machine of the Year” award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Around 60,000 Commandos were made in total.

Formally part of an enthusiast’s private collection, this Norton had been restored to a high standard a few years ago. Since restoration, it has been enjoyed by the current vendor. In recent times, the machine has benefitted from a new clutch and plates, an uprated brake cylinder and some rewiring. The machine was seen running well at the time of our visit. It is believed to be an all-matching numbers machine with a V5C and 2 keys.

1971 Motobécane LT1

Reg No: FMW 543J

CC: 125 MOT: Exempt

Frame No: 25101215

Engine No: 4552

• Part of a private collection of machines

• The LT1 is a rare survivor today in the UK

• Restored a few years ago and not used much since Motobécane was a French manufacturer of bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, and other small vehicles, established in 1923. “Motobécane” is a compound of “moto”, short for motorcycle; “bécane” is slang for “bike.” For many years Motobécane was France’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles. Like many European motorcycle manufacturers, the 1960s proved difficult for Motobécane as cars became affordable. As a result, sales decreased. The arrival of cheap, efficient Japanese motorcycles also hurt sales. They continued to produce two-cylinder 125cc motorcycles throughout the 1970s.

Part of a private collection of machines, this LT1 is a rare survivor today, in the UK. Restored a few years ago it has not been used much since. It is offered complete with a current V5C. The V5C states the model as an ‘LT3’, which is a DVLA error.

This KTM 450 EXC has previously been used by the vendor’s son for many events. In recent years the machine has laid dormant. The motorcycle is offered complete with a current V5C and KTM folder. There are many handbooks and KTM booklets accompanying the machine.

• An ideal restoration project as viewed Maico motocross and enduro racing models proved very successful in both European and American competition throughout the 1970s. While lacking the financial capital and big money race-team backing like that of the Japanese factories, Maico riders such as Adolf Weil, Åke Jonsson and Willy Bauer proved to be serious challengers to the Japanese factories and produced numerous top-three finishes in the Motocross World Championships. The firm also experienced some success in Grand Prix road-racing competitions with rider Börje Jansson winning three 125cc Grand Prix races between 1972 and 1973. Maicowerk AG filed for bankruptcy in 1983, but continued to produce small numbers of motocross and enduro models until 1986.

affecting the Lot, the Auctioneer reserves the right to settle the amount due of such charges not exceeding the Sale Proceeds and if the Sale Proceeds are less than the charges outstanding the Seller will be responsible for the settlement of the balance forthwith. There will be a charge of £75 plus VAT for this service.

3.3 Each Lot, in the condition as described on the Entry Form, and with all keys, spare or extra items and documents shall be delivered to the Premises at the expense of the Seller. The Seller of a Lot not held by the Auctioneer at the Premises or under its control warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that the Lot will be made available and in a deliverable state at the time stated by the Auctioneer.

3.4 The Seller shall indemnify both the Auctioneer, its Employees and Agents, and the Buyer separately, against all payments, costs, expenses, demands, or any loss or damage whatsoever and wheresoever incurred or suffered by any of them in respect of any breach of these Conditions on the part of the Seller.

4.1 The Seller shall be entitled, prior to the sale to place a Reserve on any Lot, this being the minimum Hammer Price at which the Auctioneer is authorised to sell that Lot and to make its usual charges. A Reserve once placed by the Seller shall not be changed without the consent of the Auctioneer.

4.2 The Auctioneer may, at its option, sell the Lot at a Hammer Price below the Reserve but in any such case the Sale Proceeds to which the Seller is entitled shall be the same as if the sale had been at Reserve.

4.3 Where no Reserve has been placed on the Lot the Auctioneer shall in no way be liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below the lowest estimated selling price. In any event, any written or oral estimate of likely selling price given by the Auctioneer is an expression of opinion only and may not be relied upon by the Seller nor give rise to any claim.

4.4 If a Reserve is placed by the Seller in a currency other than Pounds Sterling, such a Reserve shall be calculated and converted into Sterling at the spot rate of exchange quoted to the Auctioneer by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the last banking day prior to the date of the Sale. The certificate in writing of the Auctioneer as to such rate shall be conclusive.

4.5 Where a Reserve has been placed, only the Auctioneer may bid on that Lot on behalf of the Seller. Should the Seller buy in his own Lot, the Seller must pay to the Auctioneer its stated rates (both Seller and Buyer) before the Lot is removed.

5.1 The Seller may by notice to the Auctioneer withdraw the Lot from the Auction. If the Seller does so he shall be liable to pay the Auctioneer the stated rate of the Seller’s and Buyer’s commission calculated on the estimated value of the Lot that the Auctioneer would have received had the Lot been sold for the estimated value. For the purposes of this clause the estimated value shall be the higher of:-

(a) the Seller’s estimate of value as previously notified to the Auctioneer or if more than one figure the highest figure or if none;

(b) the value estimated in the catalogue or if more than one figure is given the highest figure, or if none,

(c) the Auctioneer’s reasonable estimate of its value;

(d) plus VAT on such fee in either case and expenses;

5.2 In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction the Seller shall arrange for the collection/removal of the Lot at his own expense within 2 working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless or until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 5.1 shall have been paid in full and any storage charges have been met by the Seller.

6. The Seller authorises the Auctioneer to deduct from the Hammer Price commission at the Stated Rate subject to the relevant minimum commission for each Lot, plus Expenses and VAT on both. The Seller acknowledges the Auctioneer’s right to charge and retain the Buyer’s Premium also in accordance with Condition 14.

7. The Seller of a Lot which is a road going means of transport warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer that, as at the date of the Sale, either:

(a) the Lot will be VAT paid in the EU and registered in the UK, will be lawfully usable on the public road, complying with the provisions of current Road Traffic Legislation and all relevant regulations made thereunder and any statutory modifications thereof, and there is or will be in force an MOT Certificate required in relation to such use; or (alternatively)

(b) the Seller has notified the Auctioneer that the Lot does not or will not meet these requirements, and cannot legally be used on the road.

8. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Auctioneer, its Agents and Employees against any

and all claims, liability or damage and all related costs and expenses arising out of the proper execution by the Auctioneer of their obligations to the Seller under these Conditions, and in particular against any liability or claim which may be incurred by the Auctioneer as a result of any defect in the Lot, whether proving dangerous to human life or health or otherwise giving rise to a claim against the Auctioneer, or as a result of any default by the Seller or any breach of any of the warranties or undertakings herein by the Seller.

9.1 Where any Lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the Seller accordingly. The Seller shall make arrangements either for the Auctioneer to re-offer that Lot for sale, or forthwith to collect the Lot and to pay the Expenses. If such arrangements are not made:

(a) by 1pm on the day following the date of the Sale, the Seller shall be responsible for the costs of any removal, storage and other expenses related to that Lot;

(b) within 3 months after formal notification by the Auctioneer to the Seller, the Auctioneer shall have the right (pursuant to the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 or any legislation that re-enacts or replaces it) to sell the Lot by private treaty or at public auction without reserve and to deduct from the Hammer Price or price received any sum owing to the Auctioneer including (without limitation) removal, storage and insurance expenses, the Expenses of both auctions, Commission at the Stated Rate on the sale and all other reasonable expenses, before remitting the balance to the Seller; or if he cannot be traced, placing it in a bank account in the name of the Auctioneer on behalf of the Seller.

9.2 If the Seller later sells the Lot as a result of

its exposure at the auction the Auctioneer will be entitled to their normal commission. In any event the Auctioneer will be entitled to try and effect a sale as the Seller’s agent within 14 days after the date of the auction (that time limit does not apply to a sale by the Seller). If the Auctioneer does so sell the Lot, they will also be entitled to their normal commission.

10.1 Where a Lot is sold, the Auctioneer shall initiate payment, by bank transfer, of the Sale Proceeds to the Seller 14 days after the Auctioneers have received in cleared funds the Total Amount Due from the Buyer. Should no bank details be provided by the seller, the Auctioneer will effect payment by sending its cheque, drawn in favour of the Seller, 14 days after receipt of cleared funds, by first class mail at the Seller’s risk.

10.2 If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the Buyer (whether or not because the Auctioneer has given credit terms to the Buyer) the Auctioneer pays to the Seller an amount equal to the net Sale Proceeds, title in the Lot shall pass from the Seller to the Auctioneer.

10.3 In the case of overseas Sellers, the Sale Proceeds will be paid to the Seller either in Sterling or in such other currency available to the Auctioneer as may have been agreed in writing between the Seller and the Auctioneer before the date of the Sale. The Auctioneer shall calculate the rate of exchange for the Sale Proceeds by reference to the spot rate of exchange quoted by the National Westminster Bank Plc at close of business on the date of the Sale, whichever is more favourable to the auctioneer.

10.4 If the Auctioneer receives notice of any dispute related to a sold Lot before the Sale Proceeds have been remitted to the Seller, the Auctioneer may withhold payment from the Seller until it thinks fit or until the Dispute is resolved, whichever is earlier.

10.5 The Auctioneer retains the right to withhold partial or total payment for any Lot if items committed to the Sale by the Seller and sold as part of the Lot, including any relevant documents, have not been delivered by the Seller.

10.6 The Seller shall maintain their insurance of the Lot until they are in receipt of the Sale Proceeds

11.1 If the Buyer fails to pay the Auctioneer the total Amount due within 21 days after the Sale, the Auctioneer will notify the Seller and take the Seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action. So far as in the Auctioneer’s opinion it is practicable, the Auctioneer will at the Seller’s expense assist the Seller to recover the Total Amount Due from the Buyer, but the Auctioneer shall be under no obligation to institute proceedings in its own name.

11.2 If circumstances outside the Auctioneer’s control do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from the Seller, the Seller hereby authorises the Auctioneer, at the Seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payment of the total Amount Due; to remove, store and insure the Lot sold; to settle claims made against the Buyer or the Seller on such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit; to take such steps as are necessary to collect the monies due by the Buyer to the Seller; and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the Buyer.

Conditions mainly concerning the Buyer

12.1 Any motor vehicle is sold as a collector’s item and not as a means of transport. Buyers are specifically warned that any vehicle sold as such may well have had parts replaced and paint renewed or be made up of parts from other vehicles the condition of which may be difficult to establish. The Auctioneer has to rely on information as to the date, condition and authenticity provided by the Seller and does not provide its own description, and does not and cannot undertake its own inspection of vehicles or other Lot and it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Lot conforms to the description in the catalogue. The Auctioneer cannot check or verify the authenticity of the chassis or VIN number under which a vehicle is offered, but relies on the Seller’s description. Buyers should take particular care to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity.

12.2 The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid at or over Reserve (if any) that is accepted by the Auctioneer, and the Contract shall be concluded at the fall of the hammer. The Auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to settle any dispute related to bidding at the Sale. All

sales are deemed not to be sales in the course of a business, unless notified to the contrary.

12.3 Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless the Auctioneer has, prior to the auction date, acknowledged (either by acceptance of the Bidder’s Registration Form which discloses the true principal, or otherwise in writing) that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed principal.

12.4 The Auctioneer may in its absolute discretion refuse to accept any bid, advance the bidding as it may decide, withdraw or divide any Lot, combine any two or more Lots, and in the case of dispute may put up any Lot for auction again.

12.5 A prospective bidder should register his intention to bid for a Lot by completing fully and signing a Bidder’s Registration Form prior to executing his bid. If this has not been completed before the fall of the hammer, the Buyer shall forthwith complete the Bidder’s Registration Form. The Bidder shall also provide photographic identification. Failure to do so shall not invalidate the sale, unless the Auctioneer, in its absolute discretion, so decides.

12.6 Any bid which fails to reach the Reserve may be submitted by the Auctioneer to the Seller and if the Seller accepts that bid, the Lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at the sum bid at the fall of the hammer and the normal Terms and Conditions will apply to that sale.

13.1 Where a Lot is illustrated by a photograph, in the case of a vehicle with a registration number visible, that number will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the

description and the transfer has been authorised by the Seller. If the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number to that vehicle are completed with the DVLA, the Buyer accepts that he will take all steps necessary to co-operate with either the Seller or the Auctioneer to have the number retransferred to the Seller or as may be, and will take no steps to register the vehicle with the number in his name.

13.2 Whilst the interests of prospective Buyers are best served by personal attendance at the Sale, the Auctioneers will if so instructed execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor its Employees or Agents will be responsible for any error or default in doing so or in failing altogether to do so. Where the Auctioneer executes bids on behalf of an absent bidder, each Lot will be bought as cheaply as is allowed by other bids and any relevant Reserve.

14. The Buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer in respect of each Lot the Buyer’s Commission calculated on the Hammer Price at the stated rates as set out above.

15. Where a Lot is described in the Catalogue or announced at the time of Sale as being subject to VAT on import, VAT will be payable in addition to the Hammer Price (which VAT may or may not be refundable by HM Customs & Excise on proof of export).

16.1 Upon the sale of a Lot, the Buyer shall:

16.2 Unless he has already done so, complete a Bidder’s Registration Form as in Condition 12.5 above;

16.3 Pay to the Auctioneer the total amount due, at latest by midday on the day after the Sale, notwithstanding that where the Buyer wishes to export the Lot, an export licence may be required which must be obtained by the Buyer at his own cost;

16.4 Accept that any payments received by the Auctioneer from a Buyer may be applied by the Auctioneer towards any sums owing from that Buyer to the Auctioneer on any account whatsoever, without regard to any directions of the Buyer or his agent, whether express or implied.

17.1 Until the total amount due has been received by the Auctioneer:

(a) title in a Lot shall not pass to the Buyer but the risk shall;

(b) no Lot may be taken away by or on behalf of the Buyer.

17.2 The Buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges and any other Expenses on any Lot not paid for and taken away from the by 1pm on the day following the day of the sale.

17.3 If the Lot remains under the vendor’s control for any reason, either at their property or a thirdparty one, then the Buyer must remove it within ten days of the sale. Failure to do so will result in the Lot being uplifted to secure storage at the Buyer’s expense.

18.1 If a Buyer fails either to pay for or to take away any Lot, the Auctioneer may without further notice to the Buyer, at its discretion and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have, exercise

one or more of the following rights or remedies, as may be relevant, in relation to any and all remedies for non-payment that the Auctioneer may choose to exercise. The Buyer will pay to the Auctioneer all legal and other costs borne by it on a full indemnity basis.

18.2 To charge interest at a rate not exceeding 3% per month over Natwest Bank’s base rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date and time referred to in condition 16.3 for the first two months. After that period of time to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.75% per month over Natwest Bank’s base rate on so much of the total amount due as remains unpaid after the date and time referred to in condition 16.3.

18.3 To issue proceedings against the Buyer for payment of the total amount due and/or for damages for breach of contract. If the Seller decides to sell the Lot elsewhere, the Auctioneer may proceed against the Buyer for the Commission which it would have earned both from the Seller and the Buyer together with VAT on both had the Buyer paid for the Lot in accordance with these Conditions.

18.4 To rescind the sale of that or any other Lots sold to the same Buyer at this or any other Sale, in respect of which title has not passed.

18.5 To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold by public or private sale, such that any deficiency in the total amount due resulting from such resale (after giving credit for any payment) together with the full costs incurred in connection with the Lots shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the Buyer; any surplus in excess of the Sale Proceeds of that resale shall belong to the Seller.

18.6 To store the Lot at the sole expense of the Buyer and to release the Lot only after payment in full of the total amount due, together with the accrued cost of the removal, storage and insurance and all other expenses incurred in connection with the Lot.

18.7 To retain that or any other Lot sold to the Buyer at the same or any other auction and to release the same only after payment of the total amount due.

18.8 To apply by way of set-off any Sale Proceeds of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the Buyer towards settlement of the total amount due and expenses and the Auctioneer shall be entitled to a lien on any property of the Buyer which is in the Auctioneer’s possession for any purpose.

18.9 To reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting Buyer at any future sales or insist upon a cash deposit before accepting any bids in future.

19.1 All Lots are offered as seen with all faults and defects without any guarantee or warranty attaching thereto as to condition, roadworthiness or otherwise and with all faults and defects whether apparent upon examination or not.

19.2 In any event, neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be liable for any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever, and the maximum liability of the Auctioneer together with its Employees and Agents, in the event of any claim against them arising from the sale of any Lot shall be limited to the Hammer Price plus Buyer’s Premium in respect of that Lot.

General Conditions

20. The Auctioneer in all respects acts and will be treated as agent for the Seller (except where the Auctioneer is expressly stated to be selling as principal), and is not responsible for any default by the Seller or the Buyer to the other party.

21. The Auctioneer will not accept any liability for damage sustained to a Lot that is attributable to members of the public or non-Auctioneer operatives during the Sale or any removable items left within lots during the same period. Any claims for damage and / or lost items must be submitted to the Auctioneer in writing no later than 3 working days after the date of the Sale and include a valid quote for repair or replacement and digital photographs where applicable.

22. The Auctioneer shall be under no liability for any injury, damage or loss sustained by any person while on the Auctioneers premises (including any premises where a sale may be conducted or where a Lot, or a part of a Lot, may be on view from time to time) except for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Auctioneers or its employees and agents in the course of their duties to the Auctioneers.

23. The Auctioneer shall have the right, at its sole discretion, without assigning any reason, to refuse any person admission to its Premises or attendance at any of its Sales, or to view any Lot.

24. The Auctioneer shall keep and use any data relating to the Buyer and the Seller in accordance with the provisions of all relevant data protection legislation. The Buyer and the Seller consent to such data being kept and used for appropriate

purposes, including informing the Buyer and the Seller of any offers or other matters of interest from time to time.

25. The copyright in all written matter and illustrations relating to Lots shall remain at all times the absolute property of the Auctioneer, and any person wishing to use such materials, or any part of them, shall require the prior written consent of the Auctioneer.

26. If any Condition or part of a condition in these Terms shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remaining Conditions will not thereby be affected.

27. These Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law. All transactions to which these Conditions apply and all matters connected therewith shall also be governed by English Law. Each of the Auctioneer, the Seller, the Buyer and any bidder hereby submits to non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
