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.

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.

The Vintage Scooter Auction

1954 Lambretta LD 125

No Reserve* Reg No: Unregistered Frame No: 012142

CC: 125 Engine No: 015470

MOT: Exempt

• Manufactured in and imported from France

• Attractive colour

• Correct numbers

In 1952 production started of French built LDs and these had a variety of differences from the Italian models. These changes were mainly due to French regulations. The choke, fuel filler and fuel taps were moved to arguably a more convenient location (something Innocenti later copies on subsequent Italian models). Societe Industrielle de Troyes produced almost 200,000 scooters and 10,000 three-wheelers in its scooter production time. This example is has been restored some time ago in an attractive Baby Blue colour. It is complete but needs some attention. The scooter has not been used for some time. Many of the important parts including original lights, speedometer, frame plate, front badge are present. There are also, nowadays, a number of performance kits for LD’s which include new carburettors and it could be possible that this example is a good candidate for customisation. It could also be displayed as a static ‘objet d’art’. Our vendor is selling only due to ill health. It is offered with ‘no reserve’.

1964 Lambretta GT / TV 200

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: FVS 233B Frame No: 531352

CC: 200 Engine No: 533155

MOT: Exempt

• Well known machine on the UK Scooter Scene

• Impeccably maintained

• Documented UK History with period racing upgrades

Requested specifically for the UK Market by Lambretta Concessionaires the GT200 fulfilled demand for a higher capacity model than the TV175. With a comprehensive history file this GT200 was originally built in 1963 and first registered in Greenock, Scotland under the registration number ‘FVS 233B’ in June of 1964. The machine then changed hands in 1971, with an owner who was inspired by the 1960s racing Lambrettas, built by the likes of Arthur Francis, and set about building a version of his S-Type dealer-special, which is how the machine remains today with it’s dazzling paint intact from that period. However, in 1973 the owner placed the machine in storage where it gathered dust for over 40 years.

It was then recommissioned. having been subject to a comprehensive rebuild, this GT200 doesn’t leave a lot to be desired, having had a full engine rebuild with a new Amal Carburettor. It appears to be in excellent working order with a fine matching patina.

1951 Vespa Douglas Rod Model

Estimate: £3,000 - £4,000*

Reg No: MOD 812 Frame No: Not visible

CC: 125 Engine No: 0711199

MOT: Exempt

• Extremely original with buff log book

• Very rare early model, dated at July 1951*

• Extensive history

Vespa Douglas Rod models were produced from April 1951 and 1954. It is believed only around 100 survive. This very original early example, number 1199, produced in the first four months of British Vespa manufacture, has never left the Torbay area since new. Registered new on July 11th, 1951, to a John Corp of Torquay. He sold it in January 1954 to a Monica Whitehouse of Paignton who sold it to Gwendoline Leigh also of Paignton. It was purchased by a Christopher Dent of Paignton in 1963, who sold it to our vendor for the princely sum of £2 in 1964. It has been with the current owner for 59 years.

The scooter is very complete, and we noticed that most of the very hard to find parts are all still present. In our opinion this is a superb basis for restoration. Original parts are available with patience and good replacement parts are also really available. Possibly then repainted in the correct metallic green one would have a very rare, desirable and extremely valuable machine. V5C and desirable transferable registration number are present.

c1958 Lambretta Privateer Racer

Estimate: £3,000 - £4,000*

Reg No: Unregistered Frame No: 125Li789824

CC: 150 Engine No: 150Li671951

MOT: Exempt

• Just imported from Italy in 2021

• Unique machine, built by Federico Costanzo

• No documents present

This unusual machine built in the spirit of a Milan Taranto racer, was built in Italy by Federico Costanzo who at age 92 has called this one his last one, hence its name ‘Ultima’. He has built dozens of Lambrettas and Vespas in Italy and is famous for his restorations and incarnations. La. Ve. Co. Stands for Lambretta Vespa Costanzo. Certainly something different for the upcoming rallies. No documents are present.

Using what we believe to be a Lambretta Series 1 frame it was only created recently. This machine has been seen running and its features include: 150cc engine; 100km clock with precision bezel; Siem headlight; Bolt on fire dampers; Narrowed stand; Franconi motorcycle silencer; Modified kick start; Motorcycle tank with twin taps; Inline spare wheel holder; Chequer plate floor; P range horn cast with St Christopher.

1971 Lambretta DL200 Electronic

Superb restored example

Estimate: £13,000 - £15,000*

Reg No: OEU 162J Frame No: 22/2/258850

CC: 198 Engine No: SX200/259220

MOT: Exempt

• Rare Electronic version of the design icon by Nuccio Bertone

• Exceptional standard of restoration

• Only 1 mile since restoration

The DL200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters. The Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors. The electronic version went even further with a 6v electronic Ducati ignition and CDI unit and these today are extremely collectible.

This 1971 manufactured DL200 Electronic was imported from Italy by Lambretta Museum owner Nigel Cox in 1997 and first registered in the UK that year and he has verified this as a genuine electronic. The restoration was carried out by Martin Watts, who is well known in the south of England for his quality work. Mileage on the new MPH speedometer, shows only 1 mile. The vendor has never used it since restoration . The paint is in the correct Ochre colour, vibrant and deep and appearing ‘as new’.

Our consultant was able and had time to check the frame welds behind the CDI unit to physically demonstrate that this is a genuine ‘electronic’. The lot is supplied with every MOT and tax disc from 1997 to 2015. We have seen the scooter running and all is functioning extremely well. V5C for immediate use on the road.

1961 Lambretta Li150 Series 2

Dual Control

One of only 2 known survivors

Estimate: £7,000 - £8,000*

Reg No: HAS 838 Frame No: 150Li 878302

CC: 150 Engine No: 150Li 878064

MOT: Exempt

• Original livery from the era

• One of only two Series 2 dual control ‘trainers’ known to survive

•

Provenance correct with full known history

The Lambretta Li150 Series 2 was launched in October 1959. It had an engine based on the Li150 Series 1 but with an increased stroke and several other small modifications all over the scooter that made it the bestselling Lambretta of all time. In Great Britain in the early 1960’s the market for scooter riding was still on the increase and one idea to help new riders learn to ride was the creation of a range of dual-control Lambrettas on which an instructor would sit giving instructions from behind. The scooter also had a complete set of ‘schoolteacher’ cable controls from behind that would allow a second clutch, rear brake and kill button mounted on a set of handlebars.

These machines were created in a short run by Lambretta Concessionaires the importer of Lambrettas for Great Britain and it is unknown how many they adapted for the purpose. It is understood only two of the Series 2 versions have survived. This scooter captures and defines an important moment in the history of British scootering.

1970 Lambretta GP150

London Registered From New

Estimate: £5,000 - £6,000*

Reg No: ELC 20J Frame No: 212540

CC: 150 Engine No: 212654

MOT: Exempt

• Original London (UK) Registered Lambretta

• Buff log book

• Comprehensively restored in 2007

The GP series designed by Bertone was the final Lambretta model to be made. Offered with either a 125cc, 150cc or 200cc engine mated to a 4-speed gearbox, they were marketed as the ultimate machine for both long-distance riding or commuting. This very presentable GP150 was first registered to a Mr Arthur Robert Tipper of Highgate, North London on the 23rd of September of 1970. The machine remained in London and the South East of England, receiving an extensive restoration in standard form to original specification in 2007 before being purchased by our vendor in 2009.

The paintwork, although still looking bright and fresh, is showing some signs of age but is overall very useable. The panels appear to fit well and it features the original Black plastic horn grille and toolbox which are noticeably original. The scooter features its original Veglia 70mph speedometer. The seat is an original Giuliari “coffin” seat that has been fitted with a remade seat cover. V5C and ready for the road.

1967 Lambretta 125 Special

Mechanically overhauled

Estimate: £4,000 - £5,000*

Reg No: YHR 678E Frame No: 874262

CC: 186 Engine No: 874438

MOT: Exempt

• Complete mechanical overhaul done

• V5C and ready for the road

• Original paint

Lambretta revised the Li Series 3 for the third time in late 1965. Already more elegant and better designed than the earlier Li the SX range aimed to be more sporting and performance based. The tuned engine and closeratio gearbox made for a faster machine with much-improved acceleration than earlier 125cc versions.

Here we present a very original in appearance 125cc Special in the desirable Metallic Blue. The scooter has had a full mechanical overhaul which included new parts used all over the machine. The brakes, cables, tyres, clutch, gearbox and electrics were renewed and converted to 12v. The engine was converted to a more sporty 186cc Mugello top end with Scootopia 2/22 carburettor and a big bore exhaust and new silent blocks. The scooter then went in for a second finishing with Magpie Scooters recently who adjusted the gears using a 150 gear cluster for a more balanced performance to match the engine. The speedometer is the original KM version. The scooter comes with a rare Metalplast 702 scooter basket in excellent condition and accessory comfort grips. Our consultant knows this scooter which rides extremely well.

1968 Lambretta SX200

British registered from new

Estimate: £12,000 - £14,000*

Reg No: FMA 761G Frame No: SX200 849334

CC: 198 Engine No: SX200 849644

MOT: Exempt

• British registered from new in Manchester

• Original Green log book

• In excellent condition

Many regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. This very late production example was sold by Salford Scooters and first registered on the 5th of August 1968. It appears to have remained in the Manchester area its whole life. It was discovered and restored some 17 years ago and this is how long the current owner and vendor has had it. Over the years the vendor has maintained it well and made some small adjustments to suit regular use. In 17 years he has only done 446 miles on it. This is supported by the MOTs that come with the lot. There is a V5C for use on UK roads

Believed to be the 119th last Italian SX200 off the production line it therefore has the very late features of push-in buffers in the forks, rectangular horn cast badge and GP-style wheels. The Black switch and late rear frame badge are original as are all of the keys which are all present. The electronics are 12v. The scooter has new tyres and is ready to go!

1956 Lambretta LD150 Mk 2

Professional restoration

Estimate: £3,500 - £4,500*

Reg No: TOX 993 Frame No: 150LD194357

CC: 150 Engine No: 150LD205944

MOT: Exempt

• British registered from new

• Original buff log book

• Fully restored and in full working order

The LD Mk2 had a number of improvements. The rear brake was now cable controlled and the gears used a single teleflex cable and there was also a small luggage box that housed the optional speedometer. The whole ride experience was much improved.

This extremely presentable example was first registered new on 26th November of 1956, by Austin Auto Motors of Aston Road Birmingham and has remained in the West Midlands its entire life. The scooter was fully restored around 4 years ago to a very high standard by Disco Dez Scooters using the original or quality parts wherever necessary, the engine was also overhauled. Renewed all over, the Off-White paintwork is fresh and has a deep shine and the correct detail has been applied with the rubbers and chrome work. The panels all fit very well on the scooter. Our consultant was able to see the scooter running extremely well the time of consignment. In our opinion this level of restoration would come at a price and this scooter, ready to be accessorised represents a good value in relation to the estimate. With a V5C, it is in running order and ready to be enjoyed.

1966 Lambretta SX225 ‘BelAir 2’

One of only 2 BelAirs produced by Rimini Lambretta Centre

Estimate: £22,000 - £24,000*

Reg No: PUA 626D Frame No: SX200 832064

CC: 225 Engine No: SX200 830622

MOT: Exempt

• Full restoration 2013 with by RLC proprietor Dean Orton ‘hands on’

• Impressive original accessories

• V5C stating 225cc for use on UK roads.

Many regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced. Rimini Lambretta Centre was formed in Italy in 1994. With a professional team trained to apply fastidious attention to detail RLC has set the global bar for quality in the marque.

The BelAir 1 concept was first on the drawing board following the request of a British customer who was very specific in his demands. A 5-speed engine with left-hand exhaust exit and side-hinging custom seat amongst a myriad of required innovations. BelAir 2 was based on an early SX200 and used an original 1970s 225cc kit with an original Asso piston to power the motor and a genuine Royspeed sourced Amal Mk1.5 30mm carburettor. With 180W Ducati 12v ignition and the custom-built left-hand exit 42mm reverse coned exhaust with clover leaf pipe detail. The gearbox was an original 60s 5 speed box with a competition clutch. A Chronometric Smiths speedometer was fitted into the handlebars. The rev counter positioned attractively on the Ulma style leg shield tool box incorporated a curved and sculpted cut-out on the toolbox lid and the cable enters the side of the polished crankcase in the style of the old ‘Rallymaster’ Lambrettas. The handlebar gear lever features 5 hand carved gear positions. The original

disc brake utilised a more efficient reverse-pull system. It possesses a side opening custom adapted Everest seat. All over the scooter the attention to detail is impressive with standard Innocenti parts put back to ‘new’.

Decoratively the quality paint is Industrial Green base with Metallic Black overlays and Corallo Red inner parts. Green pinstripes overlay the chromed original Innocenti wheels. The custom made SX225 badge is based on the original and the Bel Air side panel badges compliment the model. The running in decal is a unique 5-speed version. The original accessories were chosen to compliment the style of the scooter and include Super footboard extensions, original double leg shield trim, sprint rack and original Indix fuel gauge. A Rimini Lambretta Centre custom restoration of this kind would come with an extremely challenging price tag and we believe that this scooter has a very sensibly priced estimate.

CC: 175 Engine No: FLI175 432908

MOT: Exempt

• Imported from Italy in c.2015

• Correct numbers

• Desirable Mk2 version

This Lambro was manufactured in January 1962 according to amended records supplied by www.thelambro.com. This straight example appears to have last been on the road in Italy in 1975, according to the tax certificate found in the cab. It has survived remarkably well and on inspection the only corrosion, other than surface rust, could be seen on the tipper flap. The floor is also solid and there are no signs that we could see of any previous welding repairs. The doors closed nicely and the door quarter lights worked as they should. The passenger seat and back rest appear in good original condition.

We were unable to see the vehicle running, however, in terms of being complete, it appears to have everything necessary to restore except the rear cab canvas back which are now available as a re-manufactured product. It will still need to be registered for UK. An ideal base vehicle possibly for conversion to a number of commercial uses or mobile catering.

Reg No: Unregistered Frame No: Unclear

CC: 125 Engine No: 125D 113136

• Early restored example

• In running condition

• Complete with PAV41 trailer and accessories

The Lambretta Model D Mk1 was first introduced in 1951 as a successor to the Model C as a 125cc scooter. This example is a nice specimen and has been subject to a restoration some years ago. We understand that the previous owner performed the restoration and exhibited the scooter regularly at Beaulieu and Goodwood and we could see the entry labels on the handlebars to substantiate this.

We noted that the scooter is fitted with a number of interesting accessories. The optional Veglia speedometer appears to be original. Also supplied are: Super style spare wheel holder, picnic hamper, period Smiths 6-day clock, and period style fly screen. We noted that many original parts have been retained including possibly the control switch. The PAV41 trailer is in excellent condition and comes with its locking key. Also supplied is the wiring kit needed to wire the lights to a scooter. We were able to see the scooter start and run.

1969 Lambretta SX150 Special

Restored using mainly original parts

Estimate: £4,000 - £5,000*

Reg No: PHR 318F Frame No: SX150 768712

CC: 150 Engine No: Not visible

MOT: Exempt

• Authentically restored 1969 SX150 Special

• Supplied with some original Italian documents

• UK registered and supplied with a current V5C

Ferdinando Innocenti had an engineering background having established his first workshop at the age of 18. Following the end of WW2, he, like many of his contemporary Italian industrialists required a product that would enable him to rebuild his shattered company based in the Milanese suburb of Lambrate. Therefore, the inspiration for the creation of the first Lambretta scooter can be found, like that of the rival Vespa, in the devastation that afflicted Italy following the Second World War and the country’s desperate need for affordable transport.

The SX models superseded the TV range, retaining the three flashes on the side panels and featuring a large ‘X150’ over the ‘Special’ badge on the leg shield with the rear frame badge reading ‘Lambretta Innocenti’ together with a few engine tweaks. This 1969 example has spent most of its life in Italy and comes supplied with some original documents and service information. Restored in 2010 by Marco Guida using mainly original parts, it is presented in authentic and standard condition and comes supplied UK registered with a current V5C.

1978 Vespa (Douglas) Rally 200

MOT: Exempt

• British registered from new on 15th March, 1978

• Extremely original including paint

• Full known history and only 2 owners from new.

The Vespa Rally 200 made between 1972 and 1979 is much sought after by collectors due to its excellent and powerful performance coupled with attractive lines and was produced in a range of vibrant colours in tune with the fashions of the 1970s. ‘VUF 519S’ is a late example with the desirable Ducati electronics. It was bought new by a Mr Albert Warner from Redhill Motors Brighton on 15th March 1978. The scooter is believed to have featured on BBC TV’s Top of the Pops with the band Saint Etienne. The mileage displayed, 24,073 miles, is believed credible.

Our vendor informs us that ‘Delilah’ rides superbly. The engine has never been dismantled it has never needed to be. There is some localised surface rust on the edges but for the age it is not far off the day Mr Warner picked her up. The scooter is supplied with every tax disc from new until 1996 and still has the original tool roll with tools and original handbook in English. The V5 is present for use on UK roads.

1965 Lambretta TV200

• Only 689 miles since restoration

• Good numbers and a late TV200*

• Well presented

*Information from the LGTOC records

The larger engined TV200 quickly followed the TV175 slim style in early 1963 at the specific request of the British importer, Lambretta Concessionaires, who wanted an even more powerful model to satisfy their customer base. Genuine TV200 Lambrettas were instantly recognised as the GT200 to differentiate them from the TV175 models.

This late example is, by all accounts, in the last 100 known TV200s to have been produced. It was purchased by our vendor in 2014 as a freshly restored scooter. It presents very well, and our consultant was able to ride it some distance and reports that it drove superbly. Being a battery tray model and almost certainly originally a British-sold scooter. The scooter is now on 12v electrics, and it starts easily with bright lights. The standard 200cc engine has been rebuilt and sports an attractive polished side casing. It is in our opinion very well presented and the estimate is set extremely realistically as it has been gifted to our vendor’s son who doesn’t wish to ride it. V5 present.

• Restored and with low use since

• Genuine Italian SX200 engine upgrade

• V5 present

The Lambretta Li Series 3 range replaced the extremely successful Series 2 and with sleek lines and performance upgrades was also a huge success. This very presentable example in our opinion was restored we are told by an aeronautical engineer in his spare time 2 years ago.

We noted that the engine is a genuine SX200 engine, and we are told is a standard specification. We noted that some care has been taken in the restoration and small details are considered. Many parts have been reused effectively including the badges. The engine sounded very good to us. The carburettor is correct SH20 for SX200 and the scooter has an Ancillotti big bore exhaust. The new speedometer is showing 3,105 miles, which we are told is all it has covered since being restored. We noted that the headlight rim is original as are many features around the scooter. Overall, this is an attractive scooter with great performance. With a genuine SX200 engine which has a high value in itself. Ready for immediate use on the road.

• Completely original

• NOVA present for UK registration

The previous owner, we are told, stored this scooter in Italy for 37 years and never used it. Imported into Italy, ironically from Spain by Lambretta Italia Srl. The accompanying documentation shows the dealer information. Our vendor bought this at a previous H and H scooter auction when it had 3km on the speedometer, but as a motorcycle rider, has only done 4km on it on his country lane and did not yet get it UK registered. He now wishes to sell it and concentrate on his motorcycles.

Featured in Scooter Nova magazine, edition 30 (March/April 2022), ‘Original brand new Spanish Lambretta found in Italy’, and more details about it can be found there. Our consultant was able to see that the compression was excellent and under the floor shows as if a new scooter. Offered with original tools in a bag, it does run, but will need some fuel commissioning as it hasnt covered much mileage.

• Original paint in very good, preserved condition

• Good running condition

• 12v conversion

The SX150 first appeared in October 1966 and replaced the 150 Special. The tuned engine and close-ratio gearbox made for a faster scooter. In three years of production there were 31,238 produced and production of the SX150 ceased in January 1969.

Here we present a mid-production SX150 completely original in appearance. Imported into the UK and now fully registered for UK road use. The vendor tells us she ‘purrs like a kitten’ and rides extremely well. On examination we can original parts all over including; cable outers, brake adjusters, rear frame badge, the Black switch must be an early one as it appears original, speedometer showing 31,806km, front badges and keys. Some expenditure has been made and these are for parts to ensure performance. We note that the electrics are now 12v and that the exhaust is new. There are original Cavalli accessory fork covers. One would be had pushed to find an original SX150 with better paint. The original dealer sticker is also still in place. A V5C is present.

• Restored and ready for the road

• Running very well and used occasionally by the vendor

• Original buff log book confirming numbers

The Lambretta TV175 Series 2 was launched in October 1959. It had an engine based on the Li150 Series but with an increased capacity and the crankshaft, barrel, piston and gearbox ratio were changed. Often referred to as the ‘Tourer’ or ‘Sportsman’s scooter’ it had superb performance at the time and coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors.

This extremely presentable mid production example was first registered in Northwich on 8th November, 1960, and has been completely restored in the original paint colour of ‘Avorio’. This scooter represents a great example of the best early 1960s Lambretta and wants for nothing. Close attention to the quality of the paint and the details show that care has been taken in its preparation. The scooter comes with a fair amount of original documentation and information. The original RF60 buff log book, Green continuation log book and some MOTs. There are also a number of photographs pre-restoration which show the scooter in a Blue-Gold colour. The history shows that the original number was regained. A V5 is present.

• Complete quality restoration by Casa Lambretta Milan

• On the ASI historical register

• Completed the London to Brighton ride 2022

The Lambretta model D was first introduced in 1951 as a successor to the model C. The ride experience was much improved and it was a very popular model. By the time of the Mk3, the rear brake was cable controlled, there was a fan on the flywheel forcing air onto the cylinder for improved engine cooling. The gear system now used 2 teleflex cables and there was a rear shock absorber on the rear end. With its larger 150cc engine, the Mk3 is sometimes referred to as the ‘sports’ model and was often used for trials and other races.

This example has been professionally restored to the extremely strict level of quality required by the ASI historical register in Italy. On examination the paint is unblemished and all over the machine we can see that attention has been paid to all aspects of the scooter. Of note, we can see several attractive and useful accessories, notably a very rare Elmer steering lock, Veglia MPH speedometer, Pittoti style passenger foot rests and helmet hook. The ‘butty box’ has its key. A V5C is present.

• Nicely presented example

• V5C for use on UK roads

• Correct numbers.

The Lambretta versions C and LC were introduced just 2 years after Innocenti began full scale manufacture and represented a completely revised design after the models A and B. The C was aimed at lower budgeting customers while the LC was marketed to a higher-end clientele, with its covered panels and elegant overall specification. The frame comprised of a single large section tube onto which al of the mechanical components were attached. The engine was similar to the preceding Model B. The C was a popular model and the total production was 87,500 units.

This well presented example, in an attractive Blue, was previously owned by collector Craig Robinson, known for his attention to detail in all matters of Lambretta. It is completely standard as far as we can see. The engine is running and we are informed was in full running order, whilst some attention needs to be made to adjust the teleflex gear cables to use it. The scooter has V5C for use on UK roads.

• Very original appearance

• Most original parts retained throughout

• Running with V5 present for use on UK roads

Andre Baldet was Frenchman who settled in England. He began selling Vespas and was famed for his exploits on 2 wheels to promote the business. Calling the business Moto Baldet, and later Glanfield Baldet, he became very well known for modifying Vespas and Lambrettas. The 42L2 and 92L2 models were a new design and a departure from the previous Douglas Vespa models; There were a number of special editions by Douglas, of the 92L2 in 1957, to help sales. One of these was the Ultra and they were supplied in a number of colours, with windscreen, dual seat and a mudguard crest.

We present here a rare Ultra in the Regal Red colour. We understand it was discovered in a garage clearance before our vendor. The original number has been lost but the scooter does have a V5C on an age-related plate. The patina of this very rare colour Vespa is desirable and shows much character with the original Moto Baldet dealer slide still visible.

• Rare Moped

• In good running condition

• V5C present

The Honda NF75 is an extremely rare machine to be seen in the UK. Honda reportedly only imported 28 of these into the UK. The 71cc engine gives a comfortable and leisurely ride and a fairly ‘peppy’ performance. With an extremely reliable reputation and with incredible fuel economy, these rare machines create a real talking point. Many of the parts are derived from the Honda Express which ensures spares are fairly easy to obtain.

This extremely original example appears to be in full working order and we were able to see it running and functioning well and all working, including the indicators. It has had a replacement tank. It also has a helmet lock and key still present. Showing 7,992 miles on the speedometer, believed genuine, the plastic leg shields look to be in very good condition. Offered with ‘no reserve’.

These where 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, formerly owned by the chairman of The Moto Rumi Club, appears to be in original and very good condition. Originally sold new by the famous Stephen’s Scooter Mart in West London it comes with a good amount of historical provenance and was, until recently, owned by the chairman of the Moto Rumi Club, Paul Stokes. Our vendor was able to regain the original two-letter number plate using these documents. Verified and documented by the Rumi Club. The mileage of 16,466 seems credible. We were able to see the scooter running and sounding ‘very sweet’ by use of an external fuel supply.

• Rare Electronic version of the design icon by Nuccio Bertone

• Correct numbers only 272 apart

• V5C for immediate use on the road

The DL200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters. The Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors. The electronic version went even further with a 6v electronic Ducati ignition and CDI unit. It is said that less than 1000 electronic versions were produced.

This 1971 manufactured DL200 Electronic was imported from Italy and first registered on 22nd September, 1998. Restored c.2000, the paint is still vibrant and the scooter is well presented. To our mind, we can see the correct original parts in place or high standard remade parts only. Although originally Ochre (Yellow) and now in a correct Red Lechler Lambretta Red colour of 1970. We have seen the scooter running and all is functioning, however, due to the fact that the scooter has been resting in a collection and is seldom used, we recommend a service. This is a very rare opportunity for the most serious collector of Lambrettas. With this specification and, in our opinion, high quality condition of a model that is in demand, we expect significant interest in this scooter, which is estimated realistically.

• Original British sold Electric start LDA

• Restored in Coffee and Cream colours

• In excellent working order

The AVV electric start 150cc version is a very rare scooter anywhere but particularly in Great Britain. The price of this ‘luxury model’ was as high as the TV Series 1 when it was introduced in 1957. One of the sales strategies at this time was to paint the scooters in unusual but stylish colours of the day and ‘Coffee and Cream’ was applied to limited numbers of both the last LDs and the new Series 1 Lambrettas.

It was restored by the vendor’s friend, an engineer, and restored over a period of about 10 years. The scooter is supplied with some attractive accessories including original period tartan waterproof saddle covers and an original Wistonia sliding rear ‘trombone’ rack. The AVV, being 12v, is also supplied with a Smiths electric 12v glovebox clock, although this was disconnected to save the battery. We were able to see the scooter working and it started easily by way of the electric start. This scooter might well be entirely suitable for someone who wishes to ride a classic scooter without the necessity to operate a kick start.

Laverda scooters are almost unknown as the production of their Mini scooter was extremely limited. We present here possibly the only surviving Mini scooter in a Pistachio ice-cream colour.

The paintwork is believed original all over. The tyres are the original 9 inch tyres which are still usable, however, a full set of brand new tyres are supplied with the lot. The fuel tank has been kept dry and looked clean and usable. The seat is in astonishing original condition with the tassels looking good. There are delightful small details all over, including the Laverda branded grips which are original and the original Laverda air tyre pumps. There are a number of common Italian components including CEV lights and switches. The badges are all present and original. The exhaust is the original one with a few well-done repairs. The cable ends even still have the original cable tidy rubber and the tyres the old style valves. We were able to see the scooter functioning and the lights also all worked fine. V5C present, and the aforementioned tyres.

• Standard SX200 presented in excellent condition

• One owner last 23 years

Many regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. This late production example was restored at the time of import by JD Classics of Gillingham, Kent circa year 2000. Our vendor tells us that in this time it has only travelled 400 miles and this can match with the mileage recorded on the speedometer. With correct late production features including rectangular badge, SH1/20 carburettor and grey plastic toolbox, the scooter appears to be presented in excellent condition.

At the time of restoration the vendor changed the wheels to chrome versions although the original set of 3 White Innocenti wheel rims are supplied with the lot. The scooter started easily and appeared to be working well at time of consignment although we would recommend a basic service due to the fact the scooter has seldom been used. All keys are present with the tools and tool roll. The sale is due to poor health and the owner’s helmets are also included along with an SX200 instruction book. V5C for use on UK roads currently on SORN.

• Winner of the Quail Award 2017 for Best Scooter

• Impressive restoration by 2nd Avenue Scooters

• Large collection of NYPD memorabilia with ‘Scooter Joe’ signed scooter helmet

The New York Police Department, the largest force in the world, had been using scooters for patrol duties in various ways since 1964. In 1971 the NYPD wanted more Lambrettas and re-approached Innocenti who by then were in the ownership of BMC who had closed down the scooter side of the business. The inquiry was directed to the Spanish factory of Eibar who were making Lambrettas under license. A 1972 article in the NYPD inhouse magazine ‘Spring 3100’ discusses these first Spanish Lambrettas and how happy they were with them.

This genuine 1971 Eibar NYPD Lambretta number 195, one of the first version Spanish Lambrettas and the rarest with only 2 known to survive from this era. It was professionally restored by Eric Lussier of 2nd Avenue Scooters and was treated to a full 100 point restoration. The lot comes with a very impressive amount of memorabilia including a full NYPD ‘scooter cop’ uniform with equipment.

• Recently imported by a collector into the UK

• Large haul of original NYPD scooter literature

• Rare correct accessories including original NYPD scooter helmet

The New York Police Department had been using scooters for patrol duties in various ways since 1964. In 1968 the NYPD ordered 274 Italian Innocenti Lambrettas and more again in 1969. These very late Italian models were painted in the White and Green livery as were all NYPD vehicles at the end of the 1960s. It is widely known that the Green paint was due to the strong contingent of Irish officers in the NYPD.

The NYPD Lambrettas have been immortalised over the years by ‘The Incredible Scooter Cops’ Joe Willins (Scooter Joe) and Kenny Kaufman with a book and and a new film is in production of their exploits. Here we present in our opinion a genuine 1968 Innocenti NYPD Lambretta. It is also one of the last versions of the Italian made Li range. The scooter is presented in extremely original condition albeit with an amateur overpaint. The lot also comes with a large amount of NYPD Police memorabilia.

• Original purchase receipt and only 205 miles from new

We present here an extraordinary lot consisting of a most original, and almost new condition, example of this scooter plus an astonishing haul of crime memorabilia centred around Valerio Viccei’s life as an international armed bank robber. The scooter itself was later impounded after his capture, along with Viccei’s Ferrari and still sports the police impound label. It has also not been cleaned since being released. A large amount of memorabilia of the robbery and comprehensive material is supplied with this lot. It includes: The original bill of sale of the scooter; The original catalogue of the 1992 Christies auction of the unclaimed, recovered proceeds of the robbery and includes the Vespa in the lots; The original V5 with Umberto Zoppi as registered keeper at Vicceis address in St. Johns Wood High Street and a parking ticket issued there; The original handbook and tools with tool roll.

It is in our opinion a substantial historical package. The scooter was seen to be in fine running condition at the time of consignment, although a new battery will be required. Co-incidentally, the date of our sale lands on the 36th anniversary of the ‘Knightsbridge safety deposit box robbery’ on 12th July, 1997.

• The story of this racers Isle Of Man participation told through the scooter

• Running as new after major recent conservation

The Manx Grand prix for amateur motorcycle riders began in 1923 on the roads of the Isle Of Man, and the famous TT races, that had started in 1907. These annual festivals of motorcycling were firm fixtures in the motoring calendar. With the boom of scooters in the late 1950s came ‘Scooter Holiday Week’ (1957-1976). The scooter version of racing became very competitive and rankings were earned in the tough races and speed trials. This astonishing 1965 example of a GT200 was owned by a Mr. A. J. Kaye of London and we understand that he was the only owner. It appears that he raced it from new at the Isle of Man Scooter Holiday Week each year from 1965 to 1969, also at Brands Hatch and Snetterton. It then seems to have been put away and remained undiscovered until his sad passing in 2022. We can deduce from the information in the Isle of Man Holiday Week programmes that he progressed from number 105 to number 31 in 1968, and in 1969 he was number 21. The scooter is showing 33,000 miles on the original MPH speedometer.

The scooter also tells its own story by way of the stickers and badges all over the bodywork.

On examination of the scooter, there is much to highlight and the full description can be seen on the H & H auction website. The scooter has been the subject of an extensive conservation for a client at Disco Dez Scooters and has been meticulously dismantled and almost all original parts carefully put back into place. The engine is completely original as a TV200. We have seen the scooter running in excellent mechanical condition.

• Extremely original early example

• Fully mechanically working after professional overhaul

• Correct numbers.

In its 2 year production period, the LC frame numbering started at 50000 and we can deduce from that this example was produced in the first year of production. Around four years ago the scooter underwent a full mechanical overhaul by Disco Dez Scooters, with a completely rebuilt engine with all cables, brakes and everything mechanical treated to a sympathetic conservation.

The originality has been retained all over. The patina and colour is attractive and there is still the original dealer transfer on the horn cast. There are no visible touch-ups anywhere, that we could see, and the scooter is very pure. The side panels fit well. The saddles still with original leather two tone top on the rider’s seat, are usable as they are. There is a GEV rubber floor mat and original Ulma side panel air scoop embellishers. Despite the fact that the scooter had not been started since the conservation some years ago, we were able to see the scooter start up and it appeared to be in full running order at time of consignment.

• British registered from new with full history

• Original Green log book stating 225cc

• V5C for use on UK roads

Many regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. This early production example was sold new by Ken’s Motorcycles of Newcastle on July 12th, 1966 (co-incidentally on the 57th anniversary of the day date of this auction). It is also interesting to see that the original Green log book has an amendment stating that the engine was a 225cc machine. Using the original engine the scooter has been substantially upgraded for performance and is now powered by an RT230 top end using a JB crank with adjusted 4-speed gear ratios and a 30mm carburettor.

The whole mechanicals were recently tuned and balanced by John Balcombe and the scooter currently has a reported power output of 17hp and rides smoothly. The electrics have also been upgraded to a 12v (80W) BGM quality system. The scooter is presented well with the original ‘Ken’s Motorcycles’ dealer plate and, in our opinion, in an attractive colour scheme. The original airbox is also supplied should the new owner wish to revert back to standard type carburation.

• Original British registered with buff log book

• Rich history file

The first GS (Grand Sport) production started at the beginning of 1955 and the ‘Vespone’ or big wasp was a tremendous success. The VS5 was the last incarnation of the GS150 and features included re-designed wheel rims and better brake cooling, comfortable Blue dual seat, a new style cylinder head and the carburettor changed to a more efficient 23mm Dellorto version.

This VS5 is supplied with a very large history file from first owner to the present day with extensive information of its restoration and re-registration, bills, a film appearance in ‘The Empire of Light’ and Jubilee participation plus Coronation advertising. The scooter is well known in the VVC (Veteran Vespa Club) has been in ownership of members since 1991. It has been well loved and only due to the age of the vendor has it even been considered for sale. As far as we can see from the documentation we believe that somebody could trace many of the owners. First registered on July 20th, 1960, by Liddamore Motors in North London. The scooter was part of the televised procession that approached Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s

Jubilee last year and was chosen by Hamptons estate agents as a main image for their Coronation presentation in the window displays of all 92 of their offices this year.

Still on 6v points with a gel battery we were able to see the scooter start easily and run well at time of consignment. Original parts on the scooter include: control switch, speedo, Siem keys, Siem headlight and lens, horn cover, mudguard crest, wheels to name just some. The seat is believed to be a recovered original in the correct Blue colour. The scooter is adorned with a number of period accessories, including: Fabbri side saddle foot rest, a unique rear rack and back rest combination with wicker basket, original Diamanté 60s floor mat, period style leg shield trim, Vigano wheel disc on the spare wheel, Cavalli passenger foot rest, and a period style side mirror.

• Exact matching numbers

• V5C for use on UK roads

Many regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. Eddy Grimstead was an East London scooter dealer and was one of the best in the 1960s at marketing scooters producing several types of dealer specials with bold paint designs and accessories. We are told by the vendor that this midproduction example was spotted by him, an original Essex Mod, in Eddy Grimstead’s shop in East Ham, London, brand new in 1967, when he was 17 years old. He purchased one of these ‘Imperials’ with its chrome side panels and front mudguard with pin striping and special paint design.

Having owned the scooter for 56 years our vendor has finally decided to part with it. The scooter has been regularly started periodically over the years and is still in good running condition.

• UK registered from new Rally 180 chassis

• Fully running scooter

• Customisation by Martin Murray

The Rally also known as the queen of Vespas was a large performance step up from the earlier models of the 1960’s. With classic lines, the Rally is considered to be the last of the ‘real metal’ large engined Vespas. This customisation was created by Martin Murray, known for his impressive show-winning scooters. The scooter chassis is a genuine Rally 180 first registered in the UK on 26th September 1972. The engine is an early P200 engine, almost identical to the late Rally 200 engines. The remarkable Blue Metalflake paintwork and graphics were done by Pageant and the chromed engraving by Pete Robinson. The innovative hollow stitched seat which doubles up as the fuel tank was made and supplied by PLC Corse.

We were able to see the scooter running and our consultant rode it for some distance, with full working functionality, at time of consignment. Needless to say a customisation of this standard, together with the original parts used, would come with a substantial price tag and the generous estimate represents superb value in our opinion. V5C and ready to go.

However, shortly after setting up the museum, Mike sadly passed away and his entire collection was sold at auction, except for a few items including this scooter. We understand that this scooter was purchased new by Mike ‘Mr Lambretta’ Karslake and has remained in the family ever since. The V5s that accompany the scooter show 3 generations of Karslakes only, as the owners from new, starting with Mike, then Paul and finally Edward.

Restored by Mike’s son Paul many years ago, in the same style and colours, as Mike often used on his famous touring scooters. The scooter was seen to start easily and perform well at the time of consignment.

1971 Lambretta GP200 Electronic

Extremely original with history

CC: 198 Engine No: SX200 259295

MOT: Exempt

• British registered from new with green VE60 log book

• Original all over including paint (except side panels)

• Much provenance

This very late numbered 1971 manufactured GP200 Electronic is in a state of almost pure originality. First registered on 4th October 1971 by Lamba Scooters of Carshalton, Surrey, it is offered in the original and rare Red. We could not see any evidence of touching-up of paint anywhere on the scooter and this can be clearly seen by careful examination of the photographs online. Evidentially, from the photographs, the GP200 displays with much originality, and on such a rare scooter.

The side panels have been painted, but it would be fairly easy to find GP panels in original Red paint patina to complete an absolutely pure Electronic. In terms of originality, it is probably the best we have ever seen, we understand that scooter is in fine running condition. This is a very rare opportunity for the most serious collector of Lambrettas. In this original condition, of a model that is in demand, we expect significant interest in this scooter.

1968 Lambretta SX200

ex Paul Weller’s own scooter

Reg No: PNV 814F Frame No: 847329

CC: 198 Engine No: 847658

MOT: Exempt

• Large history file confirming provenance

• British registered from new

• V5C for use on UK roads

Some may regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and Paul Weller to be the finest singer-songwriter to grace the pop charts. Famed as front man of The Jam, then The Style Council and then several incarnations as a solo artist, ‘The Modfather’ is a legend and this lot falling into the ‘cool’ category to boot.

Bought by himself in 1991, at the time Paul Weller was working on his second solo album. He saw this one in The Scooter Shop in Woking. It has featured in several private ‘behind the scenes’ photographs and in his biography. It also features on the inside cover of his second solo album ‘Wildwood’ and he can be seen riding three up with drummer Steve White and bassist Marco Nelson. Most famously, it can also be seen in the official pop video for ‘Friday Street’ where Paul Weller is seen riding it. He very kindly donated it to the Sun newspaper campaign in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust in 2002. It did, however, go to auction once again, very soon after in the Christies pop memorabilia auction a year later on April 30th, 2003. It then appeared for sale online and was snapped up by a genuine Weller fan and kept in a collection for almost 20 years.

A large amount of memorabilia and provenance documents accompany this lot including:

• Scootering Magazine from January 1992 with Paul and the scooter on the front cover and exclusive article inside with Paul explaining why he bought the scooter

• A picture of him at The Scooter Shop in Woking where he bought it

• Old Blue V5 with Paul’s real name on the log book and the date he bought it

• The biographical book by Paolo Hewitt ‘Days Lose Their Names and Time Slips By’ with a double page of Paul and his son and friend on the scooter at their home

• Copy of Scootering magazine from May, 2000, with an interview with Paul explaining that he would never sell his White SX200

• Copy of press from The Sun newspaper as they praise him for donating the scooter to their Teenage cancer Trust campaign

• Full correspondence from Christies auctioneers from when it was included in their pop memorabilia sale in 2003. Lot information and auction tag

1952 ACMA 125 V51

Extremely original

Estimate: £7,000 - £8,000*

Reg No: 32966 Frame No: 32966

CC: 125 Engine No: 13350

MOT: Exempt

• Very rare model in the UK

• Extremely original including paint

• NOVA for V5 for UK registration

The V51 was first introduced in March,1951, with the characteristic ‘bug eye’ headlamp as a ‘Tringle’ (rod-geared model) and production ran until September, 1952. It is believed that there are less than a handful in the UK.

This example is one of the last V51 models produced and is in an extremely original condition. First registered on 11th July, 1952, and sold by the dealer, E. Antras from Muret near Toulouse, we can see by the vehicle declaration document that it was owned by a farmer, Mr Julia in the Haute Garonne region of southern France, since at least February 1958. The ACMA V51 is regarded highly in collectors circles. The absolute replication of the early Italian models but with the unique headlight set up was a one-off design that was never repeated. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an in-demand model that seldom comes up for sale.

• An impressive custom creation by Claudio Cattaneo

• Only 300 miles recorded since restoration

• V5C is present

We present here an intriguing custom vintage incarnation based on an early 1954 example of an Italian VL1T ‘Struzzo’ and a performance 244cc Quattrini engined conversion of a VSE1M Rally 200 engine it now has 25hp with possibility to upgrade to 40hp.

This project, commissioned by the vendor, took 18 months to complete and was carried out by renowned Italian customiser and restorer Claudio Cattaneo. Many original parts were retained. The new and customised items were extensive and carefully designed to fit with the brief. Finished in Pearl Olive Black paint this M244 Quattrini is currently set up at around 25hp but with the ability to be tuned up to 40hp we are informed. Our consultant was able ATC to ride the scooter and in his words, ‘it was very quick’. In very presentable condition this scooter is registered for the road with V5C.

MOT: Exempt

• Restored by Scootopia

• Recent mechanical rebuild

• V5 present

The Lambretta TV175 Series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. This very presentable example in our opinion was imported from the USA around 2010. It was then treated to a full restoration in 2012 by the much revered ‘Scootopia Danny’ Hodgkins at Scootopia as a standard TV175 but with Casatronic 12v ignition well hidden inside the rectifier box (a standard Scootopia innovation at the time). The scooter was painted in standard TV Series 3 White with attractive Black and Red panels and with Candy stripe beading.

It appears to have been well maintained since restoration. In recent times our vendor has had the entire engine rebuilt with a Mark Broadhurst RT195 Road tour top end, BGM big bore Clubman exhaust and a 25mm Dellorto carburettor. We are informed by the vendor that this scooter has been his rally scooter and he has made several long-distance journeys over the past two years with no issues.

• UK registered from new on 1st April 1979

• 4000 verified miles from new with full history

• Believed ‘completely original’, including paint

The Rally 200 made between 1972 and 1979 is much sought after by collectors due to its excellent and powerful performance coupled with attractive lines.

This very late example was registered new on the 1st April 1979. The first Blue registration V5 document is present, noting both of the previous owners. On examination the scooter presents in a truly remarkable ‘original’ untouched condition. We were able to see the scooter start easily on the first kick, but would recommend a basic service to optimise performance. There are a number of supplied documents, including the original Blue registration V5 document from 1979, a tax disc from 1984 and a large number of MOTs that support the mileage verification. As an in-demand model, with low owner history, such low mileage and in such unmolested original condition we expect significant interest in this scooter.

Reg No: VXM 672 Frame No: CGM1784

CC: 997 Engine No: CNML1893

MOT: Exempt

• Owned for the last 30 years

• Mostly a complete restoration project

• Old style V5 on file

Edward Turner, devised the Square Four engine in 1928. The “Cammy” engine gained a reputation for overheating the rear cylinder heads, so in 1936 the engine was completely redesigned, emerging as the 1937 OHV 995cc model 4G. In 1953, the ‘four pipe’ 997cc Ariel Square Four MkII was released, with separate barrels, a re-designed cylinder head with four separate exhaust pipes from two cast-aluminium manifolds and a rocker-box combined with the inlet manifold. A redesigned frame provided clearance for the high-mounted, tall, car-type, SU carburettor.

On offer is a c.1958 Ariel Square Four 4G MkII. It has not moved for many years and the late vendor purchased it in approximately 1993. A very worthy project once completed and the fuel tank and front mudguard accompany the machine. It appears to be an original machine and it’s offered with an old-style V5.

CC: 1000 Engine No: Not visible

MOT: TBA

• Purchased by the vendor over 20 years ago

• A restoration project complete with panniers

• Not run for many years

• Import document from 2000

The KZ1000P was built as a police specification machine. Made famous as the featured California Highway Patrol (CHP of ‘CHiPs’) motorcycles used in the US TV series ‘CHiPs’ from 1977 to 1983, they were, and still are, used with law enforcement agencies and as parade escort motorcycles across the USA. The earlier versions wore a simple front screen whereas later versions had a full fairing, as seen in the film ‘Terminator 2 - Judgement Day’.

Believed to be a 1994 model (recorded on the import papers) of the Kawasaki KZ1000P, this example was purchased by the late vendor in Malaysia when he was out there and then imported into the UK in 2000 as a project, but sadly the vendor never got around to starting it. It’s a fairly complete machine and has a fairing and a new-old-stock screen. It is accompanied by an import document from 2000 and will need to be UK registered.

• Owned for the last 25 years

• Older restoration to a good standard

• Some recommissioning required

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 twin-cylinder engine in the Dominator 88. Further development increased the engine size and the introduction of the 650 SS in 1962 formed the ultimate expression of the Dominator range and when coupled with Norton’s Roadholder forks became one of the most sought-after ‘cafe racers’ in the 1960s.

The 1968 Norton 650 SS on offer was purchased by the late vendor some 25 years ago. It has had an extensive restoration in that time and has not been used much since completion. The Norton will need recommissioning before use due to having been in storage. It is offered with an old-style V5.

MOT: Exempt

• Fully restored Gilera Rossa

• Been on display in the house

• Import paperwork on file

Throughout the 1950s the Gilera name was synonymous with racing. From the publicity surrounding that era of success, the sales of road bikes brought the money in. Most of their machines were lightweight affairs with a 125cc engine, moving up to 150cc and 175cc OHV singles. Expensive outside their Italian home market, the Gilera motorcycles were a rare sight elsewhere. Launched in 1957, the Rossa Extra was a deluxe version of the 175 Sport.

This 1961 Gilera Rossa Extra was purchased by the late vendor over 20 years ago and displayed in the house since. It turns over with compression and would make a nice little lightweight machine, once recommissioning has been completed. It comes with an import document and will need to be UK registered.

1923 Triumph Ricardo

CC: 500 Engine No: R89464

MOT: Exempt

• Owned for over 40 years

• Been on display in the house ever since

• Handsome vintage machine

Named after engine designer Sir Harry Ricardo a replacement for the aging Triumph side-valves, it featured an innovative four valve head design and was capable of over 70 mph, set three world speed records and won a gold medal in the 1923 International Six Day Trial (ISDT). The engine achieved over 20bhp the same as a 1500cc car engine of the time. The cycle parts were based on Triumph’s well-proven Triumph Model H side-valve. The ‘Riccy’ continued in production as a sports model until 1928.

This 1923 Triumph Ricardo on offer was purchased from the Brighton Museum around 1980. The vendor placed it in his house and that is where it has resided since. The bike was kicked-over regularly and appears to have good compression and selects in all gears. A truly time warp machine, and with a little recommissioning will come back to life. It comes complete with a continuation RF60 log book from 1925, and an old-style V5.

MOT: April 2024

• Standard and original 900SS Desmodue, recently recommissioned

• Serviced with new belts, carbs cleaned and a top-end overhaul

• A future classic supplied with a long MOT and a current V5C

In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, Ducatis 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 Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years.

This standard and original 900SS Desmodue has only had two owners from new, bought by its second owner in 2018. The bike had been stood for a few years, so the vendor has since replaced the fork seals and the rear disc. A top-end overhaul has been carried out with the heads polished, valves lapped in and re-shimmed together with new timing belts. The carbs have been vapour blasted, ultrasonically cleaned and all seals replaced. It recently passed an MOT with no advisories. A fast-appreciating classic that can still hold its own in modern day road conditions supplied with a current V5C.

• Fully rebuilt engine 2020

• Advised it is running very well

• The ideal lightweight off roader

This Honda XL 250 has recently been owned by an enthusiast who sadly now needs to part with it due to ill health. The engine was rebuilt by Sapphire Motor Cycles of Kendal, Cumbria in 2020, and has yet to be run in, though has been started at regular intervals. It benefits from new chains and tyres and the vendor has advised us the engine and five-speed gearbox as ‘excellent’, the suspension as ‘good’, the Red paintwork as ‘average to good’, and the frame as ‘average’. The machine comes complete with electric start and some history, including invoices for the engine work.

Famed for the quality and innovation of its multi-cylinder engines, Honda took the motorcycle world somewhat by surprise when it produced the single-cylinder four-stroke 250cc unit used for the XL250, which therefore became not only the first modern four-stroke enduro bike, but the first mass-produced four–valve motorcycle. Production of the popular 24hp Honda began in 1972 and, courtesy of regular tweaks to the specification continued throughout most of the ‘80s.

• Rarely used since completion of restoration

The 16H was first released in the early 1930s and was a popular model during WW2, with most production going to the armed forces where it earned an enviable reputation for reliability and durability. The model was one of the first civilian bikes built by Norton after the ending of hostilities and in 1947 it received its final modification with telescopic forks improving handling.

Understood to have been manufactured c.1937, but registered in June 1943, it has previous ownership since 1971 and only two owners from new. It was laid up in 1972 following a front tyre blow out. Restored in 2017 to a very good standard and with very little use since completion, it has a modern 6v battery housed in the original cover, a period rear light, unusual example having clocks mounted on the fuel tank. It comes complete with a Green continuation log book, an owner’s handbook and current V5C.

This 1982 Honda Gold Wing has been enjoyed by the current vendor since he purchased it. In his ownership he has had the following work carried out: Cambelt changed within the last 1000 miles, two new tyres, a new battery and a recent full service. The Honda is running very well and is used on a regular basis, mainly for local runs to the shop and vintage club-night events.

One of the classic images of the 1960s heyday of British motorcycling is the Triton, a perfect blend of the legendary Norton Featherbed frame and the Triumph twin engine. Unfortunately, the original Norton engines were not as reliable, so the stronger and more readily available Triumph twin was often used.

This 1967 Triton has been registered from new as a ‘Triton’ and has been fully stripped and blasted and repainted in its striking Red. The forks have been completely stripped and fitted with new springs. The headstock has been checked with new bearings, clip-ons and leavers. The wheels are the original items from new, which have been refurbished, and new tyres and tubes fitted. The engine was stripped cleaned and refurbished where necessary and fitted with +40 pistons. It benefits from a Norvil charging system at the time of rebuild and is fitted with a maintenance-free Mottablott battery. We have been advised the Triton is running well and ready for its new owner.

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. The Velosolex/Solex motorised bicycle was conceived during World War II and marketed in 1946, with 8 million being sold between 1946 and 1988 in France and internationally, having been marketed in some 70 countries. The French design ceased production in 1988. From 1971 the 5000 was an upgraded version of the popular 3800 model preceding it.

This 1977 Motobécane Velosolex Type 5000 was one man’s passion, he collected enough spares with the bike for another two machines. Most of the spares seem to be new-old-stock and the other components have been refurbished to a good standard.

Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons and by the 1960s had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles.

• Authentically restored LE Velo ‘Noddy’ bike

• Water-cooled 2 stroke twin cylinder engine

• Supplied with a workshop manual and a V5C

The LE Velocette was manufactured by Veloce Ltd, a company more famous for its bigger performance bikes, from 1948 up to the late sixties. With its horizontally opposed water-cooled twin-cylinder engine and all enclosing bodywork, it was designed to answer criticism that motorcycles were noisy and dirty and to a large extent it was successful. At first offered with a 150cc engine, its initial performance was somewhat pedestrian so the motor was eventually increased to 200cc and it found favour with over 50 police forces around the UK.

The fuel tank was hidden inside this structure and accessed by lifting the hinged seat and a dummy petrol tank was used for storage large enough to fit a crash helmet. The fully enclosed bodywork, first developed by Phil Vincent, for the innovative Vincent Black Prince, was the most prominent feature with none of the working parts of the motorcycle in view

• Runs well

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. The CB550K shared some visual similarities with the CB750, and it fitted into Honda’s four-cylinder range as its mid-capacity bike.

This 1977 Honda 550 K2 is a ‘ride or restore’ machine. We have been advised that it is running well and certainly can be used as it is. Ideal for an easy restoration to a ‘show standard’ machine.

BMW introduced the range-leading R69 in 1955 to universal praise. The new machine was able to approach the best of the British twins in terms of outright performance with the 594cc horizontally opposed overhead valve engine delivering 35bhp at 6,800rpm, sufficient to propel the machine to 102 mph, but more importantly, was able to sustain its pace almost indefinitely. 1960 witnessed the release of an improved version typed the R69S which developed more BHP (42 at 7,000rpm) without compromising the machines outstanding reliability.

An iconic 1963 BMW R69S, this machine has been cared for by its previous owner during his ownership. The engine has been changed some time ago and replaced with an engine built by an ex BMW specialist and side care racer using Kayser cylinders and FATH valve springs, it is not known when this was changed.

One of its more popular models in the 1970s was the Fantic T.I., which quickly gained popularity with its Italian styling peaky Minarelli 49cc engine, stories of the T.I. reaching 70 mph were perhaps an exaggeration but over 50-55 mph could be achieved in the right conditions.

This 1972 50cc TX120, presenting in an excellent and authentic condition, has spent most of its life in Italy and has enjoyed a full restoration by Giovanni of Venice. Hardly run since the restoration, it still needs a good running-in and is UK registered and supplied with a current V5C.

Whilst renowned for their large capacity four strokes Guzzi also produced a range of smaller two strokes in conjunction with Benelli, to satisfy demand on the home market, with very few being seen in the UK.

The Moto Guzzi Tuttuterreno, Italian for ‘all terrain’, was a result of Guzzis tie-up with Benelli during the De Tomaso years.

• A very original Honda 550/4

• Running well on the original engine

• All correct numbers machine

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. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike and beginning a range of SOHC Honda fours ranging from 350cc upwards. The 500 model followed shortly after the 750, eventually growing to 550cc.

The Honda CB550/4 on offer is a very original machine, the silencers have been changed due to bad corrosion, but apart from that it has mellowed well over the years. It has a few marks here and there but overall it’s a very presentable machine for its age. The current vendor has not used it much since the purchase due to other commitments. It comes complete with a current V5C and a folder with paperwork.

• UK registered from new

The GT series is a series of two-stroke marketed by Suzuki for model years 1972-1977. We have been informed that this 1977 Suzuki GT500A was purchased by its first owner Mr. Wallington from Comerfords of Swindon, at the cost of £610.00 (receipt on file), he had it delivered directly to his house where he took it out of the packing box and put it together himself and used it for work. Its first MOT certificate is on file showing just 1,923 miles at that time. Not long after that, it was put away and never used until he sold it to his friend who recommissioned it and placed it back on the road. At that time, it appears that the paintwork was redone. The current owner purchased the machine, but due to not riding now, has decided it needs to go to a new home.

It is being offered with its original bill of sale, packing box label - which states the frame number, setting-up booklet, Suzuki owner’s manual, Suzuki service book, a technical bulletin and a current V5C.

• Some spares with this machine

Calthorpe cars and motorcycles were built by Minstrel and Rea in Birmingham. Motorcycle output was mainly light- to middle-weight until, in 1929, a 500 OHC machine was listed. In the recession-hit ‘30s, Calthorpes were exclusively retailed by the prominent London retailers Pride and Clarke.

Purchased by the current vendor way back in 1972, it was used on countless journeys by the owner, from trips to Wales and Scotland. The Calthorpe has very rarely left his side in all the years he has owned it. Despite its barnfind-look, it is running and comes complete with many spares including the panel for the tank and the original frame. It is not known why the frame has been changed, but the owner purchased the machine and the spares as one lot in 1972. The Calthorpe is offered with a current V5C, continuation RF60 log book, and spares.

• Restored using NOS parts where possible

• Truly an iconic 1980s machine

• Very little use since completion

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 twostroke 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 ever-tightening emissions regulations.

This beautifully restored Yamaha RD350LC was restored during 20172018, when it was purchased by the current vendor. The current vendor purchased this machine in 2018 and since, in his passion, has covered just a handful of miles. It is presented in very good condition, having covered just 43 miles since its restoration. The restoration was a labour of love for the owner at the time. This beautiful machine is offered with a V5C document. and with an original owner’s handbook.

1913 BSA Model D TT

• Authentically presented and Pioneer Run eligible Model D TT

• Possibly one of the BSA Works bikes used in the 1913 TT

• Used on numerous vintage runs throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s

This authentically restored Model D is thought to have been one of the works bikes entered into the 1913 Senior TT, ridden by Kenneth Holden, but unfortunately a crash at Bradden caused his early retirement. There is no definitive proof of this story, but intriguingly its date of first registration is 4th of June, the Wednesday of TT week. As the race was run on open roads, bikes had to show a registration plate so it supports the theory that it was pressed into service at the last minute.

In 1983 it gained a Silver medal in the re-enactment of the 1910 ISDT Land’s End to John o’ Groats rally, as well as winning the VMCC South Western championship 20 times and completing in many Pioneer Runs. Now fitted with a rubber ‘V’ belt for reliability, it comes supplied with an alternative front pulley and copies of technical information, old MOTs and a current V5C. The bike has been stored for a number of years so will need recommissioning before use.

• Believed to be the ex 24 Bol d’Or Velocette

• Previous owner Mick Hemmings

• Exported to France for the Bol d’Or 05/07/67

Produced by Velocette between 1965 and 1971, the Thruxton was revealed at the 1964 Earls Court Show as the final development of Velocette’s antiquated pushrod single, the Venom. Sometimes referred to as the Venom Thruxton or simply Thruxton. Due to the high values involved and possibility of fakes, a register was established by a member of the Velocette Owners Club.

Believed to be the very machine that was exported to France for the 1967 Bol d’Or 24 hour endurance race, it was purchased by Mick Hemmings from Charles Maillard of Strasbourg, France, in early 1990, and then restored and displayed in many classic events until he sold it to the current vendor. Partly converted back to road use, it still retains its original fuel tank and fairing, as pictured. Ivan Rhodes has confirmed the machine details; a photocopy is on file. A very interesting machine for the Velocette world. It comes complete with a current V5C, an old MOT certificate from 1989/90 with an insurance document stating Mick Hemmings and a dating certificate from Ivan Rhodes and import paperwork from 1990.

• Current owner for the last ten years

• Formed part of a private collection of Triumphs

• Full recommissioning will be required

The T140 TSS was the last motorcycle model made by Triumph Engineering at their Meriden factory. Designed to appeal to the US market, the TSS had an eight-valve Weslake Engineering cylinder head developed by Triumph following 1960s designs for the 650cc twins by the Rickman Brothers. Launched in 1982 with an electric starter as standard, the all-new top end of the engine featured Cooper rings sealing the 8-valve cylinder head to the barrel. Only 112 TSS bikes were actually exported by Triumph, as on 26 August 1983 the factory at Meriden went into voluntary liquidation. It is calculated that 438 TSS units were made in total.

This 1983 Triumph T140 TSS was purchased by the current vendor some ten years ago. It has formed part of his collection of Triumphs. It is an all correct numbers machine that will require full recommissioning before use due to being stood for a while. We have been advised it last ran a couple of years ago.

• Formed part of a private collection of Triumphs

• Owned for the last five years and restored some years ago

• An early post war machine

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 economyminded buyers.

Purchased by the current vendor some five years ago, in order to form part of his collection of Triumphs, it has not been used since purchased, but we are told it did run last year. An older restoration, and now showing signs of use, due to not being used, light recommissioning will be required before use. An ideal lightweight machine for local club runs and shows.

• Standard and original ZZR600 sports bike

• Still fitted with ‘KHI K 328’ 4 into 2 exhaust

• Credible 13,500 miles with partial service history

In the early 1970s, Kawasaki’s four-stroke four-cylinder Z1 was initially developed as a 750cc to compete with the new Honda SOHC 750, but Kawasaki held the bike back until it could be increased in capacity to set a new benchmark for superbike performance. Finally released in 1973, with its DOHC 900cc engine offering a top speed of over 130mph, it easily became the fastest mass-produced bike in the world and started a long tradition of high-performance Kawasakis, with the launch of the GPz600 in 1985 ushering in the 600 sports bike bracket.

This 2000 ZZR600 is presented in good original condition with the speedo showing just 13,500 credible miles. Not many will have survived in such standard trim, still wearing its standard ‘KHI K 328’ four into-two exhaust system, clear screen and both keys. It was MOT’d in July of last year but has only done about 70 miles since, so it will need some recommissioning before use. Still a very usable bike, it comes supplied with a partial service history and a current V5C.

• Ideal classic racer or parade bike

The Commando model launched in 1967 as a 750cc carried on this theme culminating in Peter Williams’ victory in the 1973 Formula 750 TT. Colin Seeley has a fascinating history of involvement in motorsport encompassing being a successful sidecar racer, motorcycle shop owner, involvement in Formula One and team management. After retiring from competition in the late 1960s, Seeley concentrated efforts on designing and constructing Seeley-framed racing motorcycles, setting new standards for handling and quality.

This Norton Commando engined Seeley replica, has a frame reputably made Andy Sidlow with a John Tickle top yoke and billet bottom yoke, the frame has been left unpainted so you can fully appreciate the quality of the brazing. The wheel rims are Akront alloys fitted with Avon Road Rider tyres and the bodywork is finished off with an alloy tank, racing seat and a half fairing. The engine has an RH4 cylinder head and 32mm inlet ports driving through a belt primary-drive conversion. Not run or ridden since being built, it will need some finishing and recommissioning work, but will make an interesting classic racer or parade bike.

The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century, they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world’s largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. Probably the most sought-after models produced by BSA are the Gold Star range of 350 and 500cc singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the late ‘50s early ‘60s.

This 1960 BSA DBD 34 Gold Star was purchased by the vendor in 1997 and was only used for a short time before placing on display. The BSA has been kept in good order and turned over regularly. It was fully restored by the previous owner to a very high standard. Due to being stood and not on the road for some time the usual recommissioning will be required before use.

1930 had not been a spectacular year for the Bracebridge concern, so chief designer, John Carroll, undertook a complete redesign and by the time of the Ulster Grand Prix the new machines were meeting with considerable success. Although a few machines, fitted with the new engine, emerged from the factory for purchase in 1930, it was not until 1931 that the new engine became officially available replacing the Moore engines in the CS1 and CJ models.

This Cammy Norton was purchased completely in bits around 1992 by the previous owner, he then set about having the engine and gearbox completely overhauled by Norman Francis in that year, with receipts on file. The engine was completely overhauled at a cost of over £2,000 in 1992. It was also fitted with a Norton single-sided magnesium front brake.

• Great restoration history file of bills

Although the new T35 proved to be quick for its class, it was underdeveloped when it arrived in showrooms during 1946, suffering from excessive side to side shake, a tendency to cut to one cylinder and poor quality control. These faults were addressed by Erling Poppe, Walter Moore and Freddy Dixon. The result was released in 1949 and typed the Mk3, quickly followed by the Mk4 which differed from the Mk3 in respect of the front mudguard which was no longer sprung and the introduction of cast alloy toolboxes. Two different styles of exhaust were offered, one utilizing slightly upswept tubular silencers, the other retaining the cast alloy “woofle box” under the engine.

This Douglas Mk4 was previously featured in ‘Classic Bike’ magazine in 1998. We have been informed that this bike is possibly one of only 100 left. This example was restored to a very high standard. It comes complete with various MOT certificates, handwritten letters, and invoices for parts and works, also included is the bill of sale from 1982, for £382.50, and ‘before’ restoration photos.

The Trail Blazer was a 250cc single-cylinder unit model T25T (Trail), mainly built for the USA market, whereas the T25SS (Street Scrambler) was built mainly for the UK market. Main differences were the size of the front brake, trials tyres (road tyres on the SS model), and a high set front mudguard. There are a couple of other minor differences but not obvious to the unknowing. These also include an alloy fuel tank and folding rider footrests. The colour was described as Tangerine.

• Original exhaust system has been retained with the machine

• Will require checks and some recommissioning

We are grateful to the vendor for the following: “I purchased the bike as a basketcase in the 1980s with the intention of riding it in The CRMC and other historic events. As it happens the rebuild took longer than I anticipated and as a consequence of advancing years - yes you have heard it before! I never managed to finish the restoration before I retired from racing. My aborted plans to race the machine elicited a number of minor but reversible changes made during the restoration. The original exhaust system has been retained with the machine.

An admirer of Bob Mac, I do believe that this is one of his original bikes and this would appear to be further supported by the detailed descriptions of his bikes in Mick Walker’s book “Bob McIntyre - The Flying Scot”. Although there is no documentary evidence to support this. The machine is in the pristine condition that it would have left the Glasgow workshop of Bob, Alex Crummie, and Joe Potts. The usual checks will have to be done before running the machine up again.”

• Fully restored a few years ago, with photos

The first NSU motorcycle appeared in 1901 followed by the first NSU car in 1905. WWII left NSU’s factories completely destroyed, but they resumed production of their pre-war models in 1946 and introduced the Max in 1953. By 1955 NSU had become the largest motorcycle producer in the world and was said to have inspired Soichiro Honda in his early designs.

The 1955 NSU Super Lux on offer has been fully restored by the previous owner to a very good standard. It is believed that the machine had seen very little work before the restoration was started. It was sorted for many years, unused until the restoration began. The current owner purchased the NSU from his friend and completed a few minor jobs on the machine. Since his ownership, the machine has been enjoyed at many events and club meets. This is possibly an NSU that was built under license at the famous Stevenage Vincent factory in the mid-1950s.

AMC built a small number of competition singles for the 1946 season, totalling 100 machines, evenly split between Matchless and AJS. Differences between the standard machine and the competition singles were limited to items such as swept-up exhaust, alloy mudguards, a 21 inch front wheel and a four-inch section rear. With production being the primary concern changes over the next three years were limited, however, for 1950 the competition singles became more focused. The engine became all alloy and the wheelbase was reduced.

The 1963 AJS 16C on offer has been with the vendor for the last five years, in his ownership he has completed many jobs on the machine and it is presented very nicely and running well, with an addition from standard of an aluminium oil tank.

The second generation T140 can be very appealing in ownership, they’re typically cheaper than the T120 and they have some quality upgrades: 100 more CCs of displacement, a front disc brake, and an additional gear in the transmission. This was Triumph’s way of combating the onslaught of advancements from Japan, however, it turns out that Triumph was arguably a bigger obstacle to their own success than Honda, Suzuki, et al, as workers at the Meriden factory held a sit-in to protest the announced closure of their plant.

This 1980 Triumph T140 was purchased by the current owner from new, a Triumph man through and through, and since last on the road has formed part of a collection of Triumphs. The vendor has fitted two new silencers. Showing just 5,418 miles in his ownership. Not used for a few years, it will need to be recommissioned before placing back on the road.

This YB11 has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. After amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he’s decided to downsize his collection. The bike is offered for sale in good standard and original condition with a high quality selection of components from suppliers such as Brembo and Paioli, a beautifully engineered alloy frame and typically stylish bodywork. A perfect blend of Italian style with Japanese quality, the bike has not been run for a couple of years so will need some recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C.

The T100 (Tiger 100) was a standard motorcycle first made by the British motorcycle company Triumph in 1939. With the sales success of the Triumph Speed Twin, Edward Turner, Triumph’s motorcycle designer, looked further into developing the potential of the new parallel twin motor. The lighter and more powerful T100 was developed as a sports enthusiasts’ machine, and as with previous models the “100” referred to its claimed maximum speed in miles per hour (mph). Production ceased when the Triumph factory was destroyed by German bombing in 1940 during World War 2, but recommenced in 1946. Several variants were manufactured until 1973.

This 1939 Triumph T100 has been with the current vendor for a few years and has formed part of a collection of Triumph motorcycles. A correct numbers machine, one of Triumph’s most iconic pre-war machines, it has not been used for the last couple of years due to other commitments and will need to be recommissioned before use.

Benelli was established in Pesaro, Italy in 1911, which possibly makes it the oldest of Italian motorcycle factories in operation. Benelli fours need no introduction and were tremendously significant machines during what many consider to be the golden era of motorcycle racing and this machine is a tribute to the men and their achievements.

In very good condition and campaigned by present owner until a valve failure initiated an engine rebuild, which has stalled – the plan being to replace the Benelli motor with a period Honda 500 which is remarkably similar and understood to be interchangeable - a Honda engine was acquired and the photos show the two engines partially dismantled as they are today. The valve failure caused minimal damage to an otherwise sound engine so a rebuild of the original motor should be a relatively straightforward option and the Honda route may be a consideration. Photos show the machine both in track trim and ‘as is’ with respect to the chassis and the two motors (exhausts, fairing and sundry parts are in good condition and of course included). It is a CRMC registered machine, thought to have been created by Czechoslovakian maestro ‘Josef Vontor’ using a 1974 donor ‘Benelli 500 Quattro.’

In 1991 Ducati increased the capacity of the 851 to 888 cc to create the 888. Both engines featured the Desmoquattro valvetrain concept, in which a four-valve per cylinder motor was given desmodromic valve actuation, with cams both opening and closing the valves. Ducati’s desmodromic system reduces the frictional penalty from conventional valve springs.

Described as in very good condition throughout, with little use since the pandemic lockdown, this machine is thought to have covered well under 10,000 miles from new with 5 previous owners and current ownership since 2012. The paperwork file includes original PDI and warranty sheets, ownership history, old MOTs, invoices, service book, Datatag and Datatool information etc. The last major specialist service occurred in May, 2019, included a timing belt change. There are various additional parts including speedometer (km – 10,140,) a pair of Ducati cans, rear pegs etc. Please Note: A cherished registration number transfer in progress.

Offered here is a very rare Excelsior Manxman 250cc OHC “Four Valve” machine as produced by Excelsior, initially to contest the 1936 Lightweight TT and Grand Prix races.

It has been in single ownership since the completion to original specification in 1999.

The machine here wears a cylinder head stamped number “5”, which is detailed in Excelsior works’ mechanic Tom Wildman’s notebook as being that fitted. Tyrell Smith’s machine which was lying second to Omobono Tenni’s Moto Guzzi in the 1937 Lightweight TT, when having consumed the contents of its gallon oil tank on lap 5 (6, according to the factory notes), it threw a rod, handing over second place to Ginger Wood on the remaining four valve Manxman at 74.5 mph. Displayed inside the house since then, it has been run occasionally, the last time whilst being demonstrated at the Bicester Heritage “Flywheel” event on Saturday, June 17th, 2023.

The Trail Blazer T25SS (Street Scrambler) was mainly built for the UK market with the T25T being mainly for the US market - the only real differences being the front brake and mudguard. The bike itself handles well and is a lot of fun to ride - and received a positive press at the time it was released. This very charming Triumph T25SS Blazer was purchased new in Monmouthshire by the current owner’s brother. It has never left the county in all its years. He used it until 1975, when he fell off it (at a slow speed), and decided it was not for him anymore. It was parked up for the next 45 years. The current owner purchased it from his brother, as he did not want it to sit there anymore. Once he got it home he set about getting it running again and it was bought back into life with ease. Last run a couple of months ago, it is in a very original condition for its age. It comes complete with a current V5C.

Powering Sunbeam road machines, this legendary motor was then to remain in production until WW2.

This 1922 Sunbeam Model 7 has been in the same family for over 60 years. It was fully restored over forty years ago and used and enjoyed since its completion.

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 epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. By the early 1980s, after a failed merger with Norton Villiers, Triumph twins were still being made by the workers’ co-operative in Meriden. One of the last new models to be launched before its eventual demise was the Tiger Trail, a model aimed squarely at BMWs R80GS largecapacity trail bike.

The 1981 Triumph Tiger Trail homage on offer has been with the current vendor for many years. Part of a large collection of Triumphs that the vendor had, this is a very original machine that is showing some signs of age.

This c.1955 Regina 400, part of a deceased estate and being offered at ‘no reserve’, is typical of German bikes from the era exuding quality and solid engineering. According to its original green RF60 log book it came into the UK in 1964 and has only had 4 owners since, the last one buying the bike in 1977. Used by its enthusiast owner as part of a collection of European bikes, it has been stood for a number of years but the engine turns over on the kickstart and it seems to be complete and original. The bike comes supplied with an owner’s manual, some old MOTs, the original RF60 Green log book and a V5.

• All matching engine and frame numbers

• Running very well

The Model 7 Dominator was a 500cc vertical twin motorcycle built by Norton between 1949 and 1955, before being superseded by the Model 88. It was the first of Norton’s Dominator range of motorcycles with an engine designed by Bert Hopwood and was a departure from Norton’s previous practice of producing single-cylinder machines. Successful in its day, the bike was even used by the Japanese police force in the 1950s.

‘272 XVY’ was registered on the 26th July of 1955, with matching engine and a frame number of K1261617. The subject of a long-term extensive no expense spared restoration which has included an engine rebuild and a recent gearbox rebuild. As can be seen from the photographs, or by viewing the bike, it is in very good condition throughout with many new parts. Unfortunately, there is a small blemish on the fuel tank where the chrome has lifted. This could be rectified, but apart from that, the bike looks absolutely lovely. We’ve been informed the engine is sweet. This is a fine Norton that would grace any collection whilst being a pleasure to take out and ride.

The Velocette Thruxton was a sporting motorcycle produced by Velocette between 1965 and 1971. Revealed at the 1964 Earls Court Show, it was the final development of Velocette’s antiquated pushrod single, the Venom. Sometimes referred to as the Venom Thruxton or simply Thruxton, some surviving examples could be ‘upgraded’ replicas based on the Venom or Viper, as many parts in the range were interchangeable. Due to the high values involved and possibility of fakes, a register was established by a member of the Velocette Owners Club.

This Velocette Thruxton was restored around 8 years ago. An all correct numbers machine it has a copy of the works record card on file. The older restoration holds up well since completion. Recent cylinder head work has been carried out. This motorcycle is accompanied by a current V5C.

In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed 500cc Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The Tiger 100 was the sports version of the Speed Twin and marketed as the ‘supreme mount for the sportsman’. ‘The Motor Cycle’ described the model as a ‘thoroughbred sporting 500 calculated to inspire pride of ownership both on account of its magnificent all round performance and its handsome appearance’.

This 1948 Triumph had a restoration around five years ago to a good standard. Many new parts fitted in that time. We have been advised that the Triumph is running well and ready for its new owner. An early post-war Triumph T100 with instruments in the tank. A current V5C is on file.

Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made their 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 epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The 350cc 3TA was the first unit construction twin from the Meridan factory and was more generally called the ‘21’, possibly to celebrate 21 years since the formation of Robert Sangsters Triumph Engineering Co, they also became known as ‘Bathtubs’ due to the distinctive fully enclosed rear end.

Restored many years ago to a good standard, and now with some signs of use, this Triumph 21 ‘Bathtub’ is an ideal lightweight machine to ride or take to shows. We have been advised that it is running well and still retains its original registration number. It comes complete with a current V5C.

The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world’s largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. The ‘A’ range of twins, initially pre-unit, was launched in the late 1940s to compete with Triumph’s Speed Twin and stayed in production until the early 1970s.

The A7 models continued in production with various modifications until 1961/2 when they were superseded by the new unit-construction A50 model. A previous owner of this BSA A7SS has modified the bike to make it better for use on vintage runs and rallies by fitting extra lights, indicators for safety, a period Craven top box and a touring screen. An attractive bike in traditional BSA Metallic Green, it has not been run for a couple of years, so will need recommissioning before use. Supplied with a current V5C.

The BSA Rocket 3, alongside the Honda CB750, and later the Kawasaki triples, brought a new level of sophistication to street motorcycles, marking the beginning of the superbike era. The Rocket 3/Trident was part of Triumph’s plan to extend the model range beyond their 650cc parallel twins. It was the last major motorcycle developed by Triumph at Meriden, West Midlands, created to meet the demands of the US market. Although BSA experienced serious financial difficulties, 27,480 Rocket 3/Tridents were produced during its seven-year history.

This 1970 BSA Rocket Three has been with the late vendor for many years. It was his pride and joy and went to many events all over the country.

In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The single carb Trophy was considered to be the best all round model and proved very popular in the USA, especially in the upswept exhaust ‘Desert Race’ specification.

The current vendor purchased this 1970 Triumph TR6C as a restoration project some years ago. Following the purchase, the vendor went right through the machine to assess the work required to recommission and replaced or rebuilt all components needed.

• Much loved by the current vendor

The second generation T140 (Bonneville) can be very appealing in ownership, they’re typically cheaper than the T120 and they have some quality upgrades: 100 more CCs of displacement, a front disc brake, and an additional gear in the transmission. This was Triumph’s way of challenging the onslaught of advancements from Japan, however, it turns out that Triumph was arguably a bigger obstacle to their own success than Honda, Suzuki, et al, as workers at the Meriden factory held a sit-in to protest the announced closure of their plant.

The current owner of the 1978 Triumph T140V has enjoyed it since he purchased it in 2009. It was purchased as a very original machine with low mileage. The vendor has kept it up together and advises us that it is running very well and stops well too. He has always maintained it and kept it going in his ownership.

The Honda Motor Company made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, going on to make over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The launch of the four-cylinder CB750 in 1969 ushered in the ‘Superbike’ boom in the 1970s and Honda’s crowning glory of the era was the amazing six-cylinder CBX1000, still one of the few 6 cylinder motorcycles ever produced.

The Honda CBX1000 on offer has had many thousands of pounds spent on the restoration with many new parts, this is backed up with a file of receipts including David Silver Parts.

Aprilia approached famous French designer Philipe Starck to envisage a city bike that would appeal to bikers and non-bikers alike. Based on their Pegaso trail bike, the 650cc Rotax engine was slightly detuned for the city and fitted to Starck’s striking smooth panels and curvy reinvention of a motorcycle frame. Introduced in 1995, the limited edition machine was produced for only two years. In 1999, however, the machine was briefly put back into production, before being dropped once more, in 2002.

• Possible Spondon frame with Spondon forks and brake

• Offered as last raced with a good history

Yamaha has a long tradition of achievement in motorcycle sport that goes on to this day in Moto GP. The introduction of Yamahas over the counter race bikes in the late 1960s revolutionized racing allowing anyone to buy a race ready bike capable of winning TTs and GPs. The water cooled TZ250 and 350 models must be the most successful racing bikes ever produced.

This TZ250 was raced by Bob Jackson and is thought to be the bike he won the North West 200 on and finished on the leaderboard at the TT and the Ulster Grand Prix. Like most race bikes it was constantly evolving and is offered with what is possibly a Spondon frame, forks and front brake and fitted with a 250 engine. The bike looks to be as it was last raced and has been stored in one of Bob’s sponsors’ private collection for a number of years, so will need recommissioning before use. A very original and interesting bike with a good history.

Velocette is the brand name of motorcycles made by Veloce Ltd between 1904 and 1971. One of several motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham, Velocette was a family owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was “always in the picture” in international motorcycle racing from the mid 1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles and its legendary, and still-unbeaten, record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single cylinder machine.

This stunning looking 350cc racer is built around a c.1936 MAC and has been part of an enthusiast private collection of mainly Velocettes for many years. Unused since its full restoration, it is fitted with a BTH Racing mag and an Amal GP carb, as well as many other modifications to make it suitable for the track. Not run for a few years, it will need recommissioning but will make an eyecatching bike for classic racing or parades.

One of several motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham, Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. While small, they were a great innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension.

Whilst many Velocette designs were OHC, especially their race bikes, in 1933, the decision was made to develop a cheaper to produce OHV engine and the first model was the 250cc MOV. This 250cc MOV, presented in authentic condition, has been part of an enthusiast’s private collection of mainly Velocettes. It appears to have originally been sold in Ireland with a transfer on the fuel tank, suggesting it was at some time, supplied by famous Irish racer and Velocette works rider Stanley Woods Motorcycles in Dublin. The reg. plates show a Northern Irish registration number of CZ8898, that would have been issued in Belfast, but unfortunately, it does not appear on the DVLA database.

Zündapp was a German manufacturer founded in 1917 in Nuremberg by Fritz Neumeyer together with the Krupp AG and the tool manufacturer Thiel as a producer of detonators. In 1919 Neumeyer became the sole proprietor of the company and two years later he diversified into the construction of motorcycles. The company’s early tradition of large capacity motorcycles began in 1933 with the K-series that formed the basis of many military vehicles during WW2. In the post war years Zundapp concentrated on go to work bikes and scooters but as sales declined the company went bankrupt and closed in 1984.

The KS75 showed typical German heavy duty construction with a good specification but proved to be too expensive to compete with Japanese bikes in the 1960s, making it a rare model in the UK. This example has been part of an enthusiast private collection and has survived in very original condition, including its alloy wheel rims and even its underseat tyre pump. The bike has not been run for a number of years, so will need recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C.

Victoria was initially a bicycle manufacturer based in Nürnberg, Germany that also made motorcycles from 1901 until 1966. The factory was destroyed in 1945 and they mainly concentrated on small capacity models afterwards until their closure in the mid-1960s.

This c.1938 Victoria Aero 250, being offered at ‘no reserve’, exudes German quality and solid engineering. It appears to have been imported in 1975 and put on a ‘N’ registration plate although it is obviously a good deal older. Restored by the previous owner, he used it extensively on vintage runs and rallies, always attracting a lot of attention, and frowning upon anyone who trailered their bikes to events! It is offered with its original ‘Kraftfahrzeugbrief’ registration document, stamped up in Third Reich-era Germany. The restoration has stood up well but it had not been run for a number of years, so the engine does not turn over and has probably dry seized. *Please note, the bike comes supplied with a V5 and an old MOT but the registration number seems to have disappeared from the DVLA database.

Motorrad und Zweiradwerk was an East German motorcycle manufacturer located in Zschopau, Saxony better known as MZ. Established early in the last century they were at the forefront of two stroke development in the 1950s with their renowned engineer Walter Kaaden developing concepts copied by the Japanese in later years. His understanding of gas flow and resonance enabled him to make the first engine to achieve 200bhp/litre with his 1961 125cc racer. During the communist era they typified solid reliable Iron Curtain transport and by 1983 the two millionth motorcycle had rolled off the conveyor belt. Not many have survived in original condition in the UK.

This standard and original 250 Supa 5, part of a deceased estate and being offered at ‘no reserve’, was bought by the vendor in 2007 and has not seen much use since. Not run for many years, the points cover is loose and it looks like some attention was being given to the points area in recent times so some recommissioning will be needed.

The Sunbeam S7 and S8 are British motorcycles designed by Erling Poppe with styling loosely based on the BMW R75 designs that were acquired as war reparations by BSA (full rights to the Sunbeam brand had been acquired from AMC in 1943). The S8, without altering the basic design, incorporated slimmer wheels of then standard sports machine sizes and had narrower mudguards to suit. The lighter weight and improved handling revealed what a good machine the S8 really was and sales quickly improved.

The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch having previously manufactured bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day making it one of the longestlasting names in the two-wheeled world. The 700cc Constellation was one of the last British-made models produced in the Redditch factory before its eventual closure in the mid-sixties. The large capacity parallel twin design has recently made a comeback with the Indian made 650, proving very popular with a new generation of riders.

This Royal Enfield Constellation has a great patina to it, and we have been advised it is mostly original. A correct numbers machine that was used until the end of last year, the usual checks would be advised before use, due to the bike coming from short-term storage. This Constellation has been fitted with a Royal Enfield Interceptor engine. Offered with a current V5C.

AJS was acquired by the London-based Collier Bros. (AMC) in 1931. Production was shifted to Plumstead Road and the AJS was produced alongside the Matchless motorcycles. Under AMC the AJS badge may have been put on the “bread and butter” Matchless motorcycles, but the Colliers were mindful of the AJS racing heritage, and used the name on some innovative racing machinery. These racing bikes kept the AJS name alive.The Model 26 was a semi-sports 350 model.

We have been informed that this AJS Model 26 was owned and restored by the AJS Club secretary, it was used by him for many years and he had enjoyed it in his ownership. The restoration has a nice patina to it now and still presents well. An ideal VMCC-eligible machine for many events. It’s offered complete with a current V5C.

Moto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. The Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone is a very useable 500cc horizontal single-cylinder design manufactured from 1968 until 1974 as a tough and durable military motorcycle, featuring a low revving reliable engine with solidly “over-engineered” frame and cycle parts.

This c.1973 model, is part of a deceased estate and being offered at ‘no reserve’. It appears to be an ex-military bike that was imported into the UK in 2002. Supplied by North Leicester Motorcycles this Falcone has been enjoyed by its enthusiast owner as part of a collection of European bikes, it has been stood for the last few years but the engine turns over on the kickstart and it seems to be complete.

Produced since 1998, the Honda VFR800 (Interceptor) is a ‘sport touring’ successor to the VFR750F and shares the V4 engine configuration with the Honda VF and VFR series. The sixth generation VFR was introduced in 2002. It featured dual underseat exhausts, optional ABS, DCBS linked brakes, and optional hard luggage. It featured chain-driven cams rather than the gear-driven cams of earlier VFRs, and VTEC valve actuation.

Displaying just a mere c.17,111 miles, this machine has 5 former keepers recorded. It is offered with its full luggage, a recent front tyre, and a full service at 16,000 miles by Kestrel Honda, Coventry, costing £597.36 (bill on file).

• A very original ‘ride or restore’ Ariel Pixie

• Very rare to have panniers fitted

• It last ran earlier this year

The appropriately named ‘Pixie’ joined Ariel’s advanced motorcycle line up in 1963. Another of Val Page’s innovative designs, it used a version of the BSA Beagle’s four-stroke motor scaled down to 50cc, although its original design had incorporated an OHC unit. The use of pressed steel for the frame followed the practice used in its larger siblings the Leader and the Arrow, the tiny machine getting an advanced form of rubber suspensionWho said the British bike industry was behind the times? Dropped when the Ariel brand was ‘killed-off’ by parent company, BSA, in 1966.

This c.1963 Ariel Pixie has been sitting in a dry shed for many years. It was discovered and it was taken upon by the vendor to get it going which he successfully did. The Pixie comes complete with a very rare set of panniers which are in good condition. Sadly, there is no paperwork for this machine and a log book will need to be applied for.

• Older restoration in authentic condition

• Supplied with a green log book and a V5C

Velocette is the brand name of motorcycles made by Veloce Ltd in Hall Green, Birmingham between 1904 and 1971. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was “always in the picture” in international motorcycle racing from the mid-1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles.

The first version of the Velocette MAC was launched in 1933 and was developed from the overhead valve Velocette MOV 250. A reliable single-cylinder design, the MAC coped well with the low-grade post war petrol and was a popular all-rounder amongst motorcyclist in the 1950s. This example is an older restoration presented in authentic and original condition, featuring Velos trademark fish-tail silencer. The bike has been stood for a while so it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a continuation Green log book and current V5C.

• Rare pre-war overhead valve 36/12 250

• Rigid frame with girder forks up front

• Supplied with a Green log book and a V5C

A.J. Stevens & Co Ltd produced motorcycles from 1897 and soon developed their own engines including parallel twins and vee twin designs sold under the more recognisable AJS name. Success in racing soon followed with Eric William’s win in the 1914 TT, the firm also taking second, third, fourth and sixth places 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 AJS Model 12 from 1936 was a smaller version of the 350cc Matchless Model 35/G3 with an upright cylinder and a low-level exhaust. Quite a sporting model in its day featuring overhead valves, when most 250s were still side-valves, matched to a Burman gearbox and rigid chassis with girder forks. This example is an older restoration that has been stood for a while so will need recommissioning. It comes supplied with a continuation green log book and a current V5C.

• ‘No expense spared’ on the restoration

• Old Cypriot log book on file

• V5 on file

Based largely on the R26, in 1960 the R27 added rubber mounts for the engine and boosted power. The engine pumped out 18hp, the highest ever for a shaft-drive BMW single. BMW manufactured 15,364 R27 models over the production years of 1960 to 1966. BMW did things differently from other manufacturers. This is evident in the R27. Its enclosed shaft final drive is rare for a single-cylinder motorcycle. But it also had a triangulated Earles front fork (named after English designer Ernest Earles).

This 1964 model year BMW R27 was purchased as a complete machine needing little work. The late vendor decided it would make a very presentable machine if restored to a high standard. It was entrusted to a specialist for restoration at great expense and many of the original parts were retained and refurbished during the restoration. Since its completion, it has not been used due, sadly, to the vendor passing. Turned over regularly and kept well, this BMW will need very light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5 and the old Cypriot log book.

• Purchased as a basket case in 2017

• Lots of work was carried out to get it back on the road

• Mervyn Stratford built the engine

The Rudge name was made famous by Graham Walker’s victory in the 1928 Ulster Grand Prix. The bike, especially the bronze head Ulster replica became the mainstay of road racing in the day with even Enzo Ferrari running a race team in Italy using Rudges. This racing heritage gave the Rudge name a lot of credibility but unfortunately works supported racing and the supply of race machinery ended around the mid-thirties with the death of Rudge-Whitworth principle and driving force J.V. PUGH.

The Rudge Special on offer was purchased in 1997 as a basket case and needed plenty of work. The current vendor did not want to do a concourse restoration and decided to restore it as a shed discovery. The engine was sent to Mervyn Stratford for a complete overhaul. Since the Rudge has been enjoyed very much by the vendor and has never let him down since. It comes complete with a number of spares including front and rear mudguards, a current V5C, a large file with Rudge paperwork, and the advert from where it was purchased.

• Restored to a very high standard

• Many hours spent on the restoration

• Current V5C on file

In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the T120 Bonneville, first seen in late 1958, to be the ultimate version of the classic British vertical twin and is now one of the most sought-after bikes of the era.

This 1969 Triumph T120R Bonneville was purchased as a complete machine but in need of full restoration. The current vendor has gone into great detail to source the correct parts where possible during the restoration. The paintwork is of a very high quality with all brightwork rechromed. The engine has been fully rebuilt with new pistons, rings, crank, valves, guides, etc. All the wheels were rebuilt by Brickwood wheel builders in Salisbury. The Triumph has not been used in the last three years but has been stored well and kicked over regularly. It will need light recommissioning before use and is offered with a current V5C, VMCC dating certificate, and other paperwork.

• Official Triumph 1700cc big bore kit and custom ‘Gulf’ racing paintwork

• Supplied with all of its manuals, and an appropriate registration number

When purchased new in 2010, the vendor chose just about every optional extra listed by Triumph including a QD screen, saddle bags, chrome crash bars and ‘sissy bar’, touring seat, fog lamps, running boards and numerous chrome embellishments. Also included is a TomTom satnav and a Bluetooth headset.

Most importantly, the bike was fitted from new with Triumph’s official big bore performance kit, taking the capacity out to 1700cc. It was then treated to a high-quality respray in the famous Gulf race colours of Blue and Orange. Altogether the extras list runs to over 50 items at a cost of c.£8250, almost doubling the price for the bike when first supplied. It is only showing a credible 500 miles and is presented in excellent condition. Offered with the original manuals, battery charger, an itemised list of the extras fitted and a current V5C showing the appropriate ‘TR10 BRD’ number.

• Offered at No Reserve from a deceased estate

• From a collection of Eastern European bikes

• Has been stood, but the engine turns

Motorrad und Zweiradwerk was an East German motorcycle manufacturer located in Zschopau, Saxony better known as MZ. Established early in the last century they were at the forefront of two-stroke development in the 1950s with their renowned engineer Walter Kaaden developing concepts copied by the Japanese in later years. His understanding of gas flow and resonance enabled him to make the first engine to achieve 200bhp/litre with his 1961 125cc racer. During the Communist era they typified solid reliable Iron Curtain transport and by 1983 the two millionth motorcycle had rolled off the conveyor belt, an ETZ 250 with disc front brake and 12v electrics.

This 1985 250, part of a deceased estate and being offered at no reserve, is the later ETZ model. Used by its enthusiast owner as part of a collection of European bikes, it has been stood for a number of years but the engine turns over on the kickstart and it seems to be complete and original. The bike comes supplied with an owner’s manual, some old MOTs and a V5C.

• Seeley double-sided front brake and Shaftleitner 5-speed box

• Supplied with BHR racing papers, buff log book and a V5

This 1962 650SS Dommie was bought by the vendor in 1971 and used on the road before being raced by him between 1972 and 1976. Put into storage, it was then put back on the road in the mid-1980s for 3 exciting trips to the IOM TT before again being mothballed for a number of years. The vendor then started classic racing in 2009, so the bike was recommissioned and raced with the BHRC for another 4 years.

Heavily modified for race use, the engine has been tuned by Jim Bougham with HC pistons and 30mm Concentrics. The gearbox is an AMC shell with a Shaftleitner 5-speed gear cluster. The chassis is finished off with a Lyta alloy fuel tank and a Manx-style central oil tank and seat. Maintained by Pete Lovell Developments it comes supplied with a paddock stand, a BHRC registration document, the original buff log book and a V5. A very well tuned bike with a great history for either track use or the ultimate cafe racer for the road.

In 1937 the Edward Turner designed 500cc Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Along with the rest of the 650cc model range, the 1963 6T Thunderbird used Triumph’s new unit-construction powerplant and uprated frame and running gear. The new unit construction machines were simpler and easier to produce providing a lighter, more compact and more powerful machine.

This Thunderbird 650, part of a deceased estate, was bought by the enthusiast owner in 1992. A former pilot, he maintained the bike himself and used it sparingly on summer vintage runs and rallies. A good-looking bike presented in authentic and standard condition, its still wearing its ‘Bikini’ bathtub and deeply balanced front mudguard that many owners removed in the day. The engine turns over on the kickstarter, but the bike has been stood for a couple of years so will need some recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C.

We are grateful to the vendor for the following description:

“These machines are a matching pair. Both the 7R (this machine) and the G50 are sympathetic and detailed reproductions of the last models made by AMC. They were built by George Beale and purchased by him around 1991. The G50 was a new build machine directly for me, whilst the 7R was built around 1988 and retained by George Beale until my purchase.

With the exception of Roger Munsey on the 7R, it was only ever ridden by myself - a very average rider (as CRMCC records will confirm!) they have never dropped and are in excellent condition throughout. Deviations from the standard AMC specifications are the GP Carburettors, Newby Belt Primary Drives, and Interspan Ignition. Five-speed gearboxes are also specified on both machines.

Currently fitted with period Kirby fairings and high-level exhausts, period nose cones, and low-level original exhaust systems are included with both machines. The machines have been meticulously kept in good order in the vendor’s ownership at all times. Not run recently, it will need the usual checks before running again.”

• Restored by the current owner

• Used by the Metropolitan Police

• Complete with its Blue light and a V5C

So what’s a TR6P ‘Saint’? Originally, it was a kind of hotted-up 6T Thunderbird, but the specification changed gradually over the years and the 1970s version was a slightly cooled TR6 Trophy. Different forces may want different things and so one can’t be specific about the ‘Saint’s’ general specifications. But in Britain, it usually has a 7.5-to-1 compression ratio (as compared with 9-to-1 on the Trophy) and an alternator specially modified to produce a high output at low-ish RPM, so taking care of twoway radio and other electrical extras.

This Triumph TR6P, colloquially referred to as the ‘Saint’, is 1 of 2 issued to the Metropolitan Police Special Escort Group. First registered with the DVLA in 1976, it appears to be an earlier January, 1972 specification machine. The 2 machines were un-faired and only used on standard patrol units. Originally, it came with a very low gearbox 1st/ 2nd/ 3rd for very slow riding, but since its restoration some years ago, it has been converted back to a standard box. It is believed that the other machine resides in the Catford police vehicle museum in south-east London. Light recommissioning will be required before use. Offered with a V5C.

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. By the later 1950s the engine had grown to 600cc fitted into the classic Featherbed frame matched to equally iconic Roadholder forks.

One of the classic images of the 1960s heyday of British motorcycling is the Triton, a perfect blend of the legendary Norton Featherbed frame and the Triumph twin engine. The ‘Cafe Racer’ style is still popular today with most modern-day manufacturers including one in their range. Unfortunately, the original Norton engines were not as reliable so an obvious answer was to replace them with the stronger and more readily available Triumph twin, starting a whole cottage industry in handmade specials.

We have been informed this Triton was created many years ago, was rebuilt just a few years ago and has not been used much since completion. The current owner, now in his 80s, has decided to let it go due to his age. Last run at the end of last year, light recommissioning will be required to place it back on the road.

The Swiss Motosacoche concern were at the forefront of motorcycle development throughout the pioneer, vintage and post-vintage periods. British enthusiasts will be aware of their proprietary engines, marketed under the MAG name that were used by firms such as Brough Superior. The firm was founded in 1899 by Armand and Henry Dufaux, initially producing “clip-on” engines before moving on to the production of complete machines with engines ranging in capacity from 247cc to 996cc V-twins. The company’s success was such that they were able to establish branch factories in Lyon and Milan and in addition licensed Royal Enfield in England and Triumph in Germany to manufacture the engines.

This 1928 Motosacoche has resided with the current vendor for a few years and has completed many vintage events including the Banbury run. He tells us that it has never let him down in his ownership.

The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century, they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world’s largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. The most sought-after model produced by BSA was the Gold Star culminating in the DBD34 of the late 50s / early 60s.

This unregistered, and in full race trim, DBD Goldie 500 comes fitted with a Lucas racing mag, Bing carb, SC T gearbox and a Lyta alloy tank.

BMW introduced the R65 650cc twin in 1978 together with a smaller 450cc version, the R45. Both machines employed a horizontally opposed twincylinder, air-cooled engine with two valves per cylinder and were equipped with a five-speed gearbox, single dry plate clutch and shaft final drive. Designed to appeal to riders who sought a machine with the long-distance touring ability of BMW’s larger twins, but found the bulk intimidating, the new model featured a compact frame and lighter weight weighing 205K kg in comparison to the contemporary R75/7 at 215 kg. During the model’s seven-year production life 29,454 examples were produced with only detail changes being made to the machine, a twin front disc system replaced the early models single front disc and electronic ignition was adopted in 1981.

This 1983 BMW R65 was purchased by the current owner some years ago, having been used sparingly in his ownership. Apart from the exhaust pipes the machine is very original and is in very good order. It comes complete with its tool kit and lots of old MOT certificates and a V5C.

MV Agusta is one of the most famous names in motorcycling having won 270 GPs and 38 World Championships with legendary riders such as Agostini, Hailwood, Read and Surtees. Count Agusta had a passion for racing and much like Ferrari, produced motorcycles just to fund the racing efforts and MV’s road bikes became the most desirable and expensive bikes available. Motorcycle production ceased in 1977 to concentrate on the helicopter division, only restarting in 1999 after the Castiglioni restarted production, starting with the F4 750.

The F4 was created by legendary motorcycle designer Massimo Tamburini following his work on the Ducati 916. This originally presented MV has only had 2 owners from new, the first owner putting on 5,000 miles in its first 5 years and then storing the bike until it was bought by the vendor in 2018. He had it recommissioned by Moto-Vation Racing UK in September 2022, with the speedo now reading 5,878 miles.

It comes fitted with the optional saddle bags with matching cowhide leather panels, its original New Jersey USA Title and a copy of an email from DVLA stating all VAT duties paid at the time of import. A very rare model in the UK and surely a good investment for the future.

Aprilia is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer founded immediately after World War II in Noale Italy by Alberto Beggio. Initially concentrating on small capacity bikes and component manufacturer for other companies, they now produce a large range of models from scooters through to superbikes. Aprilia always had a strong motorsport connection, beginning with motocross racing and then a multiple world championship winning road racing program with riders such as Valentino Rossi and Max Biaggi. They are still at the forefront of Moto GP to this day.

Philippe Starck is a French industrial architect and designer known for his wide range of work from interiors to motorcycles. In 1995 Aprilia commissioned Philippe Starck to design the 6.5 Motò, based on the 650 Pegaso, and the resulting bike was such a distinctive design it was displayed in New York’s Modern Art Museum. This 1996 example presented in standard trim is supplied with an owner’s manual, an MOT until 30-03-24 and a current V5C.

1967 Triumph Thunderbird

CC: 650 Engine No: 6T1159N

MOT: Exempt

• Restored to a good standard

• Many subtle upgrades

• Running very well

The instigation for the Thunderbird’s development is commonly attributed to the demands of the North American market; however, Edward Turner’s deep understanding of the motorcycle market suggests that a 650cc twin was, to a degree, inevitable following the success of the Speed Twin and Tiger 100.

This 1967 Triumph Thunderbird special has had many upgrades whilst it was being restored. It was built with the intention to be a rider’s machine. It was completely stripped down, the crank is a one-piece unit modified to suit, it was on 11-1 pistons but since has been changed back to 9-1 it benefits from a 9-stud head with 30mm carbs, the rocker gear has been lightened, as with the cams and timing pinions. All the electrics have been converted to 12v, the front brake is a later 8” twin leading shoe, most of the fastenings and fittings are stainless steel, with new ally rim spokes and tyres with tubes. The exhaust system is all stainless steel. Believed to be running well, it is offered with a current V5C and a small amount of paperwork.

• Very original early 1980s Montesa 200cc trials model

• Ideal for competing in twin shock, air-cooled events

• Being offered at ‘no reserve’

Montesa was formed in Barcelona 1944 by Pedro Permanyer and Francisco Xavier “Paco” Bultó with their first model based on a French Motobécane. They soon began to produce their own engines and saw the advantage of competing in sports events to promote the brand. In 1958 chief designer Bultó left, starting his own company under the Bultaco brand name, beginning many years of fierce competition between the two companies. Together with another Spanish firm Ossa they went on to dominate trials events in the 1970s/80s/90s, with Montesa alone winning numerous world championships.

This very original early 1980s Cota 200 is being offered at ‘no reserve’ and would make an ideal bike for competing in twin shock and air-cooled events. The bike runs but the vendor reports it needs a new intermediate kickstart gear. Being designed for off-road use only, there are no documents included in the sale.

• Longer term ownership

• Used on a visit to the Isle of Man in 2001

• An older high-quality restoration

Turner recognised the soundness of the Page-designed singles and used them as a basis to create a new range of glamorous sporting machines. Existing models were fitted with the sports specification engine and exhaust. The engine cases were polished and the petrol tanks were chromed and painted with Silver Sheen panels lined in Blue, endowing the motorcycles with startling looks. The new Triumphs were given names that reflected their character and hinted at their performance, with the models being announced to the world as the Tiger 70, 80 and 90 for the 250, 350 and 500 variants respectively.

This 1938 Triumph Tiger 80 was restored around 2000 and has been enjoyed in many events in the first few years of completion. The late owner used it on a visit to the Isle of Man in 2001 and it never let him down and did a lap of the island. Due to the workload, the Triumph was stored and not used for a few years and will need the usual checks before placing back on the road. It comes with an old-style V5, various paperwork and some copies of handbooks.

• Part of a deceased estate, bought by the late owner in 1976

• Stood for a number of years but engine turns over and gears select

The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. During the 1920s BSA proudly boasted that ‘One in four motorcycles is a BSA’ and that their bikes were ‘The most popular motorcycles in the world’. This authentically presented c.1926 BSA S26 was part of a deceased estate and was bought by the late owner in 1976 and for many years used as window display. An attractive bike finished in classic BSA colours of Green and Cream, it has a nice patina as befits a bike that is almost 100 years old. The engine and frame number match a 1926 model but the bike is no longer on the DVLA computer so would need re-registering before use. It was last ridden in 2000 and has been stood since but the engine turns over and the gears select, once recommissioned and registered it will make an ideal mount for vintage and veteran events such as the Banbury Run.

BSA’s 654cc unit-construction parallel twins were launched in 1962 as the A65 Star model with various improvements introduced throughout the decade. The Lightning version sported twin carbs but the single-carb Thunderbolt was a more usable all round.

This BSA Thunderbolt was sold to the Jordanian Embassy originally and was purchased by the late vendor in 1994 (a receipt on file), he traced all the previous owners from new through the DVLA. He purchased a larger petrol tank for longer journeys and the original is still with the machine when purchased.

• Owned for 26 years by the late vendor

• Purchased as a fully restored machine

• Will need recommissioning before use

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.”. Steib Metallbau, later trading as Josef Steib Spezialfabrik für Seitenwagen, were a company from Nuremberg in Germany that manufactured sidecars. The firm was founded in 1914 by Josef Steib Senior and began making sidecars in 1928 following a commission from the motorcycle manufacturer Ardie. The company closed in 1957.

This 1935 Rudge Special and Steib sidecar combination was purchased by the late vendor as a fully restored machine in 1996. He did not use it much in the beginning of his ownership and sadly, due to his health, it has been tucked away in his garage. The restoration was of a very high standard, but now showing some signs of wear and tear. It will require recommissioning before placing back on the road. It is offered complete with a continuation RF60 logbook from 1946 and an old-style V5.

• Restored to a High by Baz Stapleford

• Running very well and is a fast vintage machine

• Upgraded gearbox to constant mess

Commencing in the motorcycle business in the late 1800s, by 1914’s Junior TT, a magnificent first and second place was scored by AJS. From 1925 onwards, prefixes were used, with the numbering system being H for 1927 and K for 1928. Introduced a few years earlier, the 500cc side-valve succeeded an AJS range that had consisted of only of 350cc singles and 800 V-twins.

This charming Vintage AJS has had much money spent on the restoration. It was completely stripped and re-bored with a new piston and rings, valves & springs, and all-new bearings. The tank has been professionally made, as the old tank was shot, and all fastenings and fittings have been made out of a stainless nickel. There is also a new stainless exhaust system with the machine, with all the tinware and frame completely stripped and painted to a high standard. Since its completion the AJS has been used and the current vendor has enjoyed it never letting him down. It comes complete with a current V5C, Bruce Main Smith handbooks, and some DVLA correspondence.

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. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike. The CB1000 Super Four, generally known as the ‘Big One’ was Hondas entry into the 1990s retro bike market reprising the look of the earlier in line fours. With nearly 100bhp and 62 ft/lbs of torque at 6000 rpm from its DOHC water-cooled 16 valve engine it justifies its reputation as a muscle bike.

This CB1000 Super Four has been enjoyed by the vendor for the last few years for weekend pleasure runs, and is presented in good original condition. A fast-appreciating future classic, that is still very usable in modern day road conditions, it is offered with a current V5C.

The sporting 16H is as desirable today as it was when new, displaying, as it does, the best attributes of vintage motorcycle design.

This charming 1925 Norton 16H was purchased by the current vendor in 1972, he then swapped it in 1975, for an Austin Chummy. In 1980 the opportunity came up for him to purchase it back, by which time it had broken a conrod and the engine was changed (details on RF60).

An expensive bike new and built with typical German quality, it could out-perform many larger machines. This example was supplied new by George Leigh Motorcycles, Southport in 1965, and has only had 4 owners, the last one buying it in 1977.

• A fast late-vintage machine

• The engine is believed to be from a 1932 TT machine

• Fully rebuilt engine and gearbox by Chris Odling

The first production KTT racers were sold to the public in 1928 when two machines were sold, effectively replicas of the works machine that had secured Velocette’s second TT win in the 1928 Junior race. The model was produced in its original form with only detail alterations until 1932 when the MkIV was introduced.

This Velocette KTT was sold by Premier Motors Co Birmingham in 1932. A Velocette dating certificate supplied suggests it was one of a batch of machines for the 1932 TT. The frame has been changed from 4245 to 5005, likely explaining the 1934 dating. There is no paperwork to indicate why this has been changed, but clearly it was done very early in its life. The current vendor purchased the machine as a restoration project and completed the restoration in 2005. Chris Odling overhauled the engine and gearbox for this machine. We have been advised the Velocette was running extremely well until it was laid up in 2014. It comes complete with a current V5C, VMCC and Velocette Owner’s Club certificates.

The Squirrel name was used for Scott motorcycles since 1921, however, 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 versions were later produced.

The current owner purchased this Scott in 2007 as a project and was then rebuilt by him with a 12v electric conversion. Since completion, the Scott has been used solely by the vendor on many events and is described as a ‘well-sorted’ machine. At the time of our visit, the machine started up well and settled to a nice idle, with that distinctive exhaust note. The Scott is offered with a current V5C, a large file of paperwork and correspondence regarding the machine. Part of the proceeds of this machine will be going to the Derby Blood Bike Charity.

A.J. Stevens & Co Ltd produced motorcycles from 1897 and soon developed their own engines including parallel twins and ‘V-twin’ designs sold under the more recognisable AJS name. Success in racing soon followed with Eric Williams’ win in the 1914 TT, the firm also taking second, third, fourth and sixth places 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-1960s. The 1929 M4 was the first year of the saddle tank model and due to its lightweight and powerful engine is considered to be one of the earliest ‘sports’ machines.

An older restoration, this 1929 3.49hp De Luxe M4 is Banbury eligible and presented in ‘oily-rag’ condition. It has been part of a small private collection and has not run for a number of years, so will need some recommissioning before use, but will make an interesting bike for vintage runs and rallies.

Following their first AJS side-valve motorcycle, in 1909, the company went on to produce one of the first British overhead-valve engined machines, a 350, and a 500 OHV bike was also offered from 1925. In depressed 1931, however, the Stevens Bros were forced to sell AJS to the Collier Bros., owners of Plumstead-based Matchless, AJS production being moved to the same London manufacturing site. In the following years, the marques shared many components. The range of models consisted of parallel twins and singles. The Model 30 and its 600cc engine was said to provide a smooth ride and was reliable relaxed and economical for its size.

• An ideal lightweight project

• Some work has been carried out, so it’s incomplete

• No documentation with this lot

The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world’s largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. Their best selling model was the Bantam first seen in 1948 as a 125cc and in fact became the best selling British made bike of all time.

This c.1962 BSA D7B is a stalled restoration project. A good basis to complete with a good spares back-up to complete. Sadly all that you can see in the picture is all of the machine. There is no documentation with this machine.

• A Royal Enfield’s finest 2-strokes

• Restored some time ago

• Continuation RF60 and V5C

The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901. The Enfield Cycle Company is responsible for the design and original production of the Royal Enfield Bullet, the longest-lived motorcycle design in history. This models futuristic name was an unusual choice which was either inspired by the American market or meant to evoke the silent, super smooth, almost turbine-like power offered by the rubber mounted Villiers engine.

On offer here is a 1964 example of the futuristic sounding Turbo Twin. This machine has been with the late owner for a few years and in that time he had enjoyed it until he had to stop riding. Not used for a short time, it will require some light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C and a continuation RF60 logbook from the early 1970s.

• Supplied new by Alan Jefferies

• Nice pre-‘65 trials machine

• Recent work carried out

• Matching numbers machine

Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made their first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. The Tiger Cub 250cc single was one of their more popular models and was many future enthusiast’s first taste of motorcycling.

Offered here is a 1964 Triumph Tiger Cub TR20 works replica trials. Currently owned for the last 5 years, it benefits from matching engine and frame numbers. Road registered with an age-related plate ‘MCY 519B’, it is in very good order and we have been informed ‘runs well’. The Engine has been rebuilt and a new exhaust fitted along with electronic ignition. A Tiger Cub Owners Club dating certificate shows it was first sold in April 1964 to Allan Jeffries of Shipley.

• 1972 Triumph Trident T150 USA spec.

• Returned to the UK in the mid-1980s

• Restored since back in the UK

The Triumph Trident and the doppelganger BSA Rocket 3 were technically advanced, high-performance roadsters made by Triumph Engineering and BSA (both companies part of the Birmingham Small Arms Company) from 1968 to 1975, and sold under both the Triumph and BSA marques. Alongside the Honda CB750, and later the Kawasaki triples, it brought a new level of sophistication to street motorcycles, marking the beginning of the superbike era. It was the last major motorcycle developed by Triumph at Meriden, West Midlands, created to meet the demands of the US market. Although BSA experienced serious financial difficulties, 27,480 Rocket 3/ Tridents were produced during its seven-year history.

This Very striking T150 has been restored since it came back to the UK in the 1980s, with its very striking colour scheme. We have been informed by the vendor ‘it runs very well and benefits from electronic ignition’. An extensive history file is on hand with the machine. It has been fitted with new tyres (Avon Roadriders). There are two tiny dabs of paint on the tank covering stone chips. A current V5C is on file.

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.
