• Part of a private collection of Triumphs

• Restored a few years ago and then not used

• No documents with this lot

In the late 1920s, it was considered that you needed an extra 50cc to haul a sidecar, so Triumph added 10mm to the stroke of a Model N to get a 550cc for the 1929 model year. The Model NSD was added to the range in April 1928. About 4,450 of these were produced. The 5.49hp engine featured adjustable tappets, a decompressor on the right-hand side of the crank case, a cable operated exhaust valve lifter, an aluminium piston, full floating gudgeon pin, and a roller-bearing big end. You could buy the machine on a ‘Pay-as-you-ride’ plan with the basic model requiring an £11/19/6 deposit and twelve monthly payments of £3/15/-.

This c.1929 Triumph NSD has been restored by the current vendor some years ago. It has formed part of a collection of Triumph motorcycles through the ages. Not used in the last few years due to other commitments, the NSD will need to be recommissioned before use. This lot does not have any documentation with it, so registration will need to be applied for. An ideal Vintage machine.

1971 Honda CB500K0

Fitted with genuine 4 into 4 exhaust system

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000*

• Early CB500 K0 model, restored at great expense

• Fitted with a genuine Honda HM323 exhaust system

• Supplied with numerous receipts and current V5C

This Honda was purchased in 2019 by a retired Engineer with over 50 years experience who has a passion for mechanical engineering and vehicle restoration. This is the latest project from a line of restorations that include several motorcycles and cars. This original K0 variant had been imported from South Dakota, USA, and required a full restoration. The odometer shows just over 12,000 miles which is believed to be accurate based on the fact that there was very little wear to the engine. The bike was stripped down with all parts examined, restored or replaced with a huge library of receipts amounting to thousands of pounds from reputable retailers and Honda specialists.

The renovation has been completed to the original US spec., such as retaining the slightly higher handlebars so that it remains true to its original specification (the K0 was not originally imported to the UK). The bike has completed roughly 200 miles since and the vendor is planning to ride the bike to the auction. Supplied with numerous receipts and a current V5C.

1988 Honda ST50 Dax

One previous owner

Estimate: £1,500 - £2,500*

Reg No: F616 OWK Frame No: AB232000064

CC: 49 Engine No: AB22E1007655

MOT: Exempt

• One previous owner from new

• Very low mileage

• Used as a pit bike on racing circuits

Honda launched the ST50, ST70 and CT70 in August 1969 and production ran into 1981. A key feature of the ST50 is the T-bone pressed steel frame that distinguishes it from the Gorilla and the Monkey-bike. As a general description, the ST-series bikes have a bench-style saddle, small fat tyres, and folding handle bars. They have an air-cooled 4-stroke engine with either a 3-speed semi-automatic transmission with an automatic centrifugal clutch or a 4-speed manual gearbox.

This 1988 Honda ST50 Dax left the Suzuka factory in 1988 and was purchased by its first UK owner as a pit bike for his classic racing. Stored for many years after use, it was purchased by the current vendor to use once it was recommissioned. Last used for the Distinguished Gentleman’s Rise in 2019, the fuel system has been flushed out of the oil system recently. A genuine low-mileage Honda Dax, offered with a current V5C.
