Reg No: Unregistered Frame No: 29MO2477

CC: 200 Engine No: MO2477

MOT: Exempt

• 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.

1938 Triumph T80 Tiger

Long term ownership

Estimate: £4,500 - £5,500*

Reg No: XG 6261 Frame No: TL5812

CC: 350 Engine No: 8-T80-10927

MOT: Exempt

• 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.

c.1926 BSA S26

Bought by the last owner in 1976

Estimate: £3,500 - £4,500*

Reg No: Unregistered Frame No: G3698

CC: 500 Engine No: M2386

MOT: Exempt

• Authentically presented Banbury eligible 500cc 4.98hp single

• 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.
