Warranty

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

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.

Lots 100 - 123

The Vintage Scooter Auction

1969 Lambretta Li150 Special

Very rare late factory hybrid

Estimate: £1,500 - £2,000*

Reg No: Unregistered Frame No: SX150 773623

CC: 150 Engine No: SX150 743965

MOT: Exempt

• Possibly the rarest Series 3 version

• 1,402 miles believed genuine and one lady owner

• Revetts of Stowmarket dealer transfer and service book

Here we present a very rare Li150 Special as an original unmolested genuine factory oddity. Sold new by Revetts of Stowmarket on the 2nd May 1969 and found by a house clearance company recently. We are told that the scooter was owned by a lady in her ‘90s who had owned it from new. It had only covered 1,402 miles when she stopped using it. The service book found in the tool box along with the original tools corroborates this.

Scooter enthusiasts might notice some very unusual features indeed. The obvious being the Li type thin horncast, clip on Li side panels and Li front mudguard. On inspection you can see the GP style Silver hubs and wheels, push in fork buffers and grey plastic tool box. There is also the Black GP style switch. On closer inspection the scooter appears to have never been dismantled. The cables, fixings and fastenings all over appear to be in exact factory position. For anyone wishing to collect the rarest of the rare this represents a great opportunity.

1952 Vespa Douglas Rod Model

Estimate: £3,500 - £4,500*

Reg No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible

CC: 125 Engine No: 0425274

MOT: Exempt

• Most hard-to-find original parts are present

• Very rare early model dated at April,1952* (*Veteran Vespa Club)

• Great opportunity to finish to a superb standard

Production of the Vespa under license in Bristol in England started with the ‘Rod model’ launched in March 1951. Only 11,848 Douglas Vespa Rod models were produced from April 1951 and 1954 when the model G arrived with its cables. It is believed only around 100 Rod models survive*. We present here a self-restored 1952 Rod model with most of the hard to find parts present. On close examination we can see the panels throughout are in very good condition. The handlebars and rod connectors, levers, headlight rim and many other parts are the originals that he had re-chromed. Extremely hard to find parts also include the original ‘fish’ exhaust which the vendor purchased as original NOS.

We were unable to see the chassis number, however, we believe it should be there under the thick paint. Other important parts such as the original speedo drive, carburettor and engine are all present and the scooter has been seen running at the time of consignment. This Rod model could be finished with some more details attended to. Potentially a very rare, desirable and valuable machine.

1970 Lambretta DL200

Electronic

Rare early version with original Italian documents

Estimate: £16,000 - £18,000*

Reg No: SVR 366H Frame No: 22/2/256861

CC: 198 Engine No: SX200/257110

MOT: Exempt

• Original Italian Ministry registration book

• Excellent standard of restoration

• V5C for immediate use on the road

This 1970 manufactured DL200 Electronic was declared manufactured June 4th, 1970 and first registered on the 15th July, 1970, in Florence (Firenze) Italy. The scooter was restored in Italy prior to its export to the UK and appears to have been completed to a very high standard. The panels are a superb fit, with the seat being the original Guiliari with a quality replacement cover. Cables are fastened with the correct type straps and the ends have been finished off neatly. The original speedometer has been retained and displays an impressive c.42,474km.

The keys are all present for ignition, toolbox and steering lock. The engine ran extremely well at the time of consignment. It has the Ministry of Transport original registration book to support the pedigree. This is a rare opportunity for the most serious collector of Lambrettas, with the documentary information that suggest this is probably one of the earliest known DL200 Electronics. Presenting in an original but restored specification and in excellent condition and in demand, we expect significant interest in this scooter. The V5C is present.

1982 Lambretta Serveta

Serie 80 SX200

Excellent original condition

Estimate: £2,500 - £3,500*

Reg No: Unregistered Frame No: SX200 563183

CC: 198 Engine No: SX200 563183

MOT: Exempt

• Complete and in excellent original condition

• Comes with NOVA number for UK registration

• Showing c.3,921km only on the speedometer

The Spanish Serveta Serie 80 (Series 80) launched sometime in 1980 was essentially the same scooter as the preceding Jet 200 but with different styling. On most models a new style of indicator was fitted to the edge of the leg shield and side panels. A new thicker rear shock was introduced. The most noticeable difference was that the front mudguard and horn casting were now made of plastic and the horn grill was similar that of the Italian GP/DL. More comfort was gained by a new coffin-style lockable seat and a Puig leg shield box and Madrid rear rack were fitted as standard. This example is said, by the vendor, to have been seen running some years ago before being stored. We note from the documents that it was owned by a military man, some might say the well-kept condition reflects this. Very original all over, the scooter appears to be in excellent condition. The speedometer shows just c.3,921km, which could easily be correct. The panels all fit well and the engine turns with good compression. Supplied with the original Spanish documents and owner details as well as a rare original service and instruction book.

1963 Vespa 50S

Formerly Elizabeth Smolen’s own personal scooter

Estimate: £4,000 - £5,000*

Reg No: AMA 14B Frame No: V5SA1T600526

CC: 49 Engine No: V5SA1M 1554

MOT: Exempt

• Frame stamped with original Italian no. V5SA1T1532

• Smolens’ life and work told through this scooter

• Impressive originality, in good running condition with V5C

We present here an extraordinary lot consisting of a most original example of this rare scooter plus an astonishing haul of original memorabilia centred around Elizabeth Smolen’s life and work as a scooter racer and dealership. The scooter itself, a 1963 model was sold through Augsburg Vespa Germany, factory supplied by Piaggio in German specification. Save the MPH speedometer the scooter is in its original paint and has retained its originality all over with no touch-ups.

The story of Elizabeth Smolen is an astonishing tale of an extraordinary woman. From escaping from behind the Iron Curtain in the 1950s to scooter racing champion and much more. She also ran Elizabeth Smolen, the official Vespa dealer for Wirral, Merseyside. The large history file that accompanies this scooter includes: Smolen dealers paraphernalia, original photographs, news clippings, an original handbook programme from Scooter Week 1969 which details all of the riders etc, original waterslides, key ring and newspaper clippings of Smolens life and work. This is a major opportunity for a serious collector of vintage Vespas and Vespa history.

The German market VIN plate is V5SAIT600526 from the brief time it was in Germany.

1963 Vespa GS160 Mk2

Estimate: £3,500 - £4,500*

Reg No: NSX 435A Frame No: Not visible

CC: 160 Engine No: Not visible

MOT: Exempt

• Many original GS160 parts

• Supplied with original spare GS160 engine and parts

• V5C for use on UK roads

The GS160 Mk2 is regarded by many as the pinnacle of Vespa performance and style. This example has been offered following a bereavement. We understand that it was in running condition and has been stored in a storage facility. We were able to determine that the engine is a later Vespa engine although we are unsure from which model.

We were able to notice a large number of correct original parts including: Full set of keys including original FAS key, switch, KMH speedometer, Siem front headlight and Bosatta rear light. The panels look good. It appears to have had a 12v electrical conversion and supplied with Continental whitewall tyres. Also supplied is a very useful parts, spares, operation and maintenance book and wiring diagram. GS160s rarely come to market. Offered with V5C this could represent a very good purchase at a realistic reserve. The scooter is supplied with a verified genuine spare GS160 engine and a set of spare white side panels and other parts.

1971 Vespa SS90

Super Sprint Mk2

Rare German market model

Estimate: £8,000 - £10,000*

Reg No: WWU 733J Frame No: V9SS1T200223

CC: 90 Engine No: V9SS1M6140

MOT: Exempt

• Believed one of only 500 Mk2 models produced

• Correct and verified by the SS90 expert Steve Marshall

• V5C present and in good running condition (atoc)

This extremely rare German market model was a one owner machine before being imported into the UK by Steve Marshall, an SS90 expert. It was restored in Germany by a Vespa main dealer for the owner’s daughter to take over, but she never used it. It was imported by Steve Marshall who has verified its authenticity. It was also offered as an Aspire competition prize and purchased from the winner by our vendor.

With engine number 6140, it is believed to be the second in production of the Mk2 SS90s produced. It has been on display in a UK museum for the last year. This very rare SS90 has been seen in fine working order including indicators at the time of consignment. It is also supplied with a good amount of documentation from its time in Germany, from new.

2010 Scomadi TL250

Number 6 of only 10 produced

Estimate: £6,000 - £7,000*

Reg No: P060 FKY Frame No: SCOM 000006

CC: 244 Engine No: 0018300

MOT: July 2023

• Rare and historically important first incarnation

• Very rare carbon fibre model

• Only 2,950 miles recorded from new

We present here a very rare and historically important TL250 example from the first ever incarnation of Scomadi. The engine is a Piaggio 4-stroke class leading Quasar 250, 4 valve and liquid-cooled. It is one of the lightest and compact yet powerful 250 scooter engines on the market. Reaching 21.3bhp at 8500rpm it has superb performance, high speed and reliability with good fuel consumption. Apart from being the only model with carbon fibre panels there were a number of important innovations including: Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes with Bitubo double shock absorbers, the front brakes also with anti-dive assistance, electric start, digital speedometer in MPH and KMH, combined rev counter and temperature gauge, and re-designed Whelan exhaust and rear muffler.

The recorded mileage is only 2,950, it has nevertheless been treated to regular oil services, new battery and brake pads, new thermostat, CDI unit and a dyno rolling road test in 2019, amongst other fastidious attention to servicing. Believed to be number 6 of only 10 produced.

1963 Lambretta Li150 Series 3

Estimate: £2,250 - £2,750*

Reg No: WTN 307A Frame No: 665468

CC: 150 Engine No: 665529

MOT: Exempt

• Part of a small private collection for a few years

• Fitted with a sports seat, 3 in1 rear carrier and spare wheel

• Vendor reports ‘in full working order’ with a V5C

Ferdinando Innocenti established his company in the Milanese suburb of Lambrate and in 1947 launched his first scooter design. By the 1960s the introduction of the Li range established the classic long and sleek Lambretta look that went on to become a style icon of the era culminating in the Bertone-designed ‘Grand Prix’ models of the late sixties.

The Li Series 3 first appeared in December 1961 and replaced the very successful Series 2 model. The new design was extremely popular and ran for almost 6 years until production ended in late 1967, laying down the classic ‘slim-style’ look that typifies Lambrettas of the 1960s. This attractive scooter, in Green and Cream, has been part of a small private collection for a few years and the vendor reports that it is in ‘full working order’. It comes fitted with a matching Green sports seat, a 3 in-1 rear carrier and a spare wheel along with a current V5C.

1970 Vespa SS90 Super Sprint

Estimate: £15,000 - £17,000*

Reg No: TUJ 245H Frame No: V9SS1T5762

CC: 90 Engine No: V9SS1M5869

MOT: Exempt

• British registered with very low ownership

• Original parts re-used and in full running condition (atoc)

• Correct numbers with V5C

This very late 1970 SS90, with only 1 previous owner, was subject to a service by highly regarded PM Tuning in 2019. We have seen the scooter at the time of consignment (atoc), in excellent running condition with a bright sound and easily started. It has been restored in the correct Vespa Red colour with the foresight of using very many of the important and hard to find original parts all including: The chrome SS90 Piaggio factory exhaust, all panels and wheels, floor runners, lights and lenses, handgrips, steering lock, and dummy tank with raised badge. All keys are present.

We believe it has the original leg shield badge and edging, scroll badges and generally the original parts re-used throughout, except the speedo. The scooter has been converted to 12v electronics at some point in its life. It is seldom that this most rare and sought after Vespa model comes on the market; British registered from new, still with so many original parts.

1966 Lambretta SX200 Special

Very original time warp scooter

Estimate: £16,000 - £18,000*

Reg No: KYD 60D Frame No: SX200 837637

CC: 198 Engine No: SX200 836915

MOT: Exempt

• In excellent original running condition (atoc)

• Original keys present. Ignition and steering lock

• Engine and frame numbers correct with V5C

Many regard the SX200 model, to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. This 1966 specimen retains impressive originality. The scooter was purchased and imported by Nigel Cox, the owner and curator of the famous Weston Lambretta Museum in England in the 1990s. It is difficult to find this top marque of Lambretta in such untouched and superb original condition.

Upon inspection the cables appear to have never been moved and everything, including the original seat, is in exceptional condition. Still a standard SX200 on standard 6v electrics, it has not been altered from what we can see. In ‘as produced’ condition, including original badges and decals. We could find no exceptions all over the scooter and even the keys which are all present are the first originals. This is a very rare opportunity to obtain one of the best examples of an original SX200.

1959 Lambretta Li150 Series 1

Time warp with UK history

Estimate: £3,500 - £4,500*

Reg No: Unregistered Frame No: 628646

CC: 150 Engine No: 788402

MOT: Exempt

• British registered from new and only 2 owners

• Original buff log book

• Very original and untouched appearance (for 56 years)

This excellent time warp example was first registered by E.S Motors of Chiswick and remained a London scooter until it was taken off the road and stored in 1967. Upon examination one could say the appearance of originality is indeed impressive. The scooter has a steering lock key and the lock still retains its original flap.

The original tool kit is still present and we believe it is possible that even the tyres are the originals. The original cables seem to have never been removed and still retain the original concertina rubbers above the engine. The hand levers are the correct type with the slotted cut out. With original seats, it appears to have been very well looked after. No attempt has yet been made to start her. Offered with the original buff log book and a selection of very old MOT certificates. This is tremendous and rare opportunity in our opinion to acquire a British registered London area timewarp example of a most sought after model.

1966 Vespa SS90 Super Sprint

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*

• From the estate of the late Eric Tudor’s ESP Scooters collection

• Won by a student in an Aspire competition

• Will be sold to finance the student through university

This extremely presentable SS90 example was sourced from the famous private collection of the late Eric Tudor of ESP Scooters, Wigan. This actual scooter featured on the TV channel Men & Motors, which is still available to view on YouTube. The scooter has been dry stored since its restoration by Eric Tudor in the 1990’s.

The scooter was briefly in he ownership of a collector in Scotland and then owned by SS90 aficionado Steve Marshall, who sold it to Aspire competitions. It was recently won by our lucky vendor, a young student, now wishing to move on in order to contribute to course fees. As far as we can see it retains very many of the original parts including original seat and dummy tank, lights and lenses are the correct Siem, original Piaggio chrome SS90 exhaust. The scroll lettering looks period correct as well as the rubbers. All keys are present. The scooter has an attractive light patina and is an extremely presentable running example of a highly sought after model.

1974 Honda ST70 Dax

Estimate: £2,000 - £3,000*

Reg No: RWC 57M Frame No: ST70-145886

CC: 72 Engine No: ST70E-135000

MOT: Exempt

• Rare mini-bike in good condition

• Vendor describes as ‘in running order’

• Low mileage example

Honda launched the ST50, ST70 and CT70 in August 1969 and production ran into 1981. A key feature of the ST70 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. With power at 6hp and a top speed of 75kmh, they did not qualify in all markets for on-road use.

Here, we present a 1974 geared version of this mini-bike, for use on the road in the UK. We are informed by the vendor that it is in ‘running order’ and ‘works well’; we were unable to verify this ourselves at the time of consignment. It appears to have a C50E prefix engine number although this is not stated on the log book. Offered at the auction sale with a V5C, in a ‘good condition’ and with a low mileage.

1961 Lambretta TV175 Series 2

Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000*

Reg No: 420 XUF Frame No: 175TV2*217032

CC: 175 Engine No: 175TV2*125266

MOT: Exempt

• Restored to an original specification

• Adorned with original period accessories

• Running well (atoc) with V5C for use on UK roads

This late example TV175 Series 2 is a fairly recent restoration. The striking aspect is the quality of the restoration and attention to detail. Standard on 6v points components were restored and reused where possible. Of note, the ignition with half moon cap is still present and the brass steering lock with the original flap, MB23 carburettor and the soundproof rough deadening on the panels. Rides and feels like a new scooter, as confirmed by our consultant who was able to road test the scooter at the time of consignment (atoc). A restoration of this standard would cost many thousands of pounds. In addition to this the scooter is adorned with original accessories. The estimated value of these original accessories alone is over £6000 in today’s collectors market.

The TV175 Series 2 is a firm favourite with beautiful elegant lines and a smooth reliable performance the model is the epitome of Lambretta. The combination of the sought after model, the restoration costs and the value of accessories combine to make this a superb opportunity. With V5C it is ready to immediately enjoy on the road.

1971 Lambretta DL200 Electronic

Extremely original

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: YJN 53J Frame No: 22/2/259034

CC: 198 Engine No: SX200/259149

MOT: Exempt

• Very original, including the paint

• Correct numbers

• V5C for immediate use on the road

This 1971 manufactured DL200 Electronic is very original. Imported in 2009, it presents exceptionally. In the original Ochre, we could not see any evidence of touching-up anywhere on the scooter, and this can be clearly seen by careful examination of the photographs or viewing the scooter. The keys are all present for ignition, tool box and steering lock and are the correct era and not reproductions. The smallest details that are often overlooked are present on this rare scooter.

We have seen the scooter running at the time of consignment, with bright headlights and starting easily. This is a very rare opportunity for the most serious collector of Lambrettas. In this original condition, and being a model that is in demand, we expect significant interest in this scooter. Offered with a V5C.

1966 Lambretta GT200

The last known produced with provenance

Estimate: £11,000 - £13,000*

Reg No: BVC 372D Frame No: 552981

CC: 198 Engine No: 555123

MOT: Exempt

• Registered new on March 18th, 1966, in Coventry

• Genuine GT200 as declared on the original buff log book

• Extensive documented ownership history to day one

This extremely late example is by all accounts the last GT200 known to have been produced - Information taken from the LGTOC records and BLA - British Lambretta Archive. Records by the Lambretta GT owners club stop at chassis 552776 from an October 1965 manufacturing date. In the ownership history it has never left the Coventry area. This is a standard GT200, and with all the keys, we observed many important original parts including the Noemi Rosa seat (with good replacement cover). Other original parts observed: MPH speedometer, rear frame badge, disc brakes and panels throughout. At sometime in the scooter’s life the front mudguard was replaced with an Li type. However, with a view to restoring the scooter our vendor has acquired a very rare original fibreglass mudguard and this comes with the scooter.

With excellent patina, it could be used as is but we recommend a recommissioning throughout. A GT200 stated as such with first buff log book is a rare find in itself. To have the whole history from new is even more rare. And as the last ever known GT/TV200 we expect significant interest in this scooter.

1968 Lambretta SX200 Special

Award-winning ‘Mod’-style scooter

Estimate: £11,000 - £12,000*

• It rides very well (atoc) and has a V5C

• Engine and frame numbers correct for year and very close

• Featured on ITV programme ‘Pulling Power’

This very SX200 late production 1968 trophy winner has correct numbers and has been maintained annually importation and restoration by Armandos Scooters of Sheffield in 1996. The vendor has had the scooter for 26 years and is the only British owner. Being used regularly and serviced every year, it was converted to 12 volt electrics. According to the vendor, ‘WWA’ is reliable and starts easily and ‘goes like a rocket’.

1960 Vespa Douglas 152L2

CC: 125 Engine No: 11911290

MOT: Exempt

• Previous restoration

• UK registered with V5C

• Believed to be in a ‘good running condition’ (atoc)

The first time a Vespa was seen in Great Britain was on the Douglas stand at the 1949 Motor Cycle Show. The scooter was discovered by Douglas managing director Claude McCormack when the struggling company was in the hands of the official receiver. The Vespa presented itself as a solution to the company’s problems and a deal was made with Piaggio to begin production of the Vespa under license in Britain. Douglas under-performed and was several years behind the Italian models until the late 1950s when parity was almost made. The result in today’s international collectors market is that British-built Douglas Vespas have emerged with a special rarity status in recent years.

The Vespa Douglas 152L2 was released in 1959, as Douglas began to source more parts from Piaggio to keep aligned to the changes in scooter style that were coming from Italy. The performance of the 125cc rotary engine was an improvement on the previous 92L2 and the cast handlebars were the signs of a new era in Vespa styling for the 1960s. This 152L2 presents well in an attractive Vespa Light Blue colour. We are informed it is ‘running well throughout’, although the speedometer does not work.

• Extremely straight and all original parts

• Correct engine and frame numbers

• In good running condition (atoc)

This fine example of a Lambretta Li series has all original parts and is very straight. Despite the over-painting on examination we noted that the retention of original parts is impressive. When the over-painting occurred it appears that the frame was not touched inside. There’s a steering lock key and the lock still retains its original flap, with the tool box key also present. The speedo appears original although only it displays 1km. Original cables appear to be located in the correct place and possibly never moved and the hand levers are the correct type with the slotted cut out. The original saddles are in excellent condition as is the original correct MA19 carburettor.

It appears to have been very well looked after. Starting easily, our consultant was able to ride this scooter at the time of consignment. Straight and honest in appearance, the panels line up very well. Used as is, when registered, or a superb basis for a quality restoration. There are no documents.

• Sir Elton John’s Husband, David Furnish, is a former owner

• Very rare scooter, only 20 ever produced in Gold

• Only 532km recorded from new A collaboration between Italjet and Patrick Cox (Wannabe range of shoes). 100 Italjet Wannabe Velociferos were produced in Black and White, with real snakeskin seats. However, Patrick has kindly confirmed to us that only 20 were produced in Gold and said that the scooter was purchased new, as a gift, by David Furnish in 1998. Elton John and David have been Patrick’s best friends for 30 years. This can be confirmed by the V5C we have in hand, in David Furnish’s name. The side mirrors are actually 14k plated gold. Latterly, we understand Elton and David auctioned the scooter at one of Elton John’s Aids Foundation charity events, before current ownership. Unused for some time, the scooter will need a service. The V5C displays the correct chassis number and year, but we believe a mistake at DVLA has it listed as a Yamaha model.

We would like to thank Patrick Cox for his assistance.

• From a small private collection

• Fitted with backrest and carrier

• Supplied with a current V5C

Ferdinando Innocenti established his company in the Milanese suburb of Lambrate and in 1947 launched his first scooter design. By the 1960s the introduction of the Li range established the classic long and sleek Lambretta look that went on to become a style icon of the era culminating in the Bertone-designed ‘Grand Prix’ models of the late sixties.

The Li Series 3 first appeared in December 1961 and replaced the very successful Series 2 model. The new design was extremely popular and ran for almost 6 years until production ended in late 1967 laying down the classic ‘Slim-style’ look that typifies Lambrettas in the 1960s. This attractive scooter in Red and White, has been in a small private collection for a few years and the vendor reports that it is in ‘full working order’. It is fitted with a matching two-tone seat, a rear backrest and rear carrier and is accompanied by a current V5C.

• Very high quality restoration in correct Metallic Red colour

• Correct numbers and V5C for UK roads

• 73 years old and a very rare model

The Lambretta model B was first introduced on the 11th December 1949 and represented numerous and substantial improvements over the preceding Model A. The wheels were increased to 8 inch as opposed to the previous 7 inch, a larger fuel tank, more efficient suspension and the adoption of a hand gear change instead of the previous foot change system.

This example has been subject to a very high quality restoration whilst in Italy and has recently been the central showpiece of a well known UK collector. A restoration of this magnitude would cost very many thousands of pounds and it appears to be correctly restored in every way. It presents as a beautiful example. Seen running at the time of consignment, it should be able to be brought into service quite easily judging from the quality of the restoration. These 1940s Lambrettas are tipped for rocketing collectibility in the near future. This example has been restored very well, it represents a great opportunity for a serious collector.

• Part of the Mike Webster collection

• One owner for over 50 years

• Restored and in full working order (atoc)

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

This Formichino has been owned by the vendor for over 50 years and was been restored by himself, an eminent Rumi historian. It presents in excellent condition and appears to be correct. 1956 was the first year the aluminium-bodied Formichino series were imported into the UK. The colour, 8-inch wheels, and headlight nacelle all appear to be correct. Mike Webster is one of the longest-standing members and is the official historian of the VMSC (Vintage Motor Scooter Club). He has had several books published, including Classic Scooters (Paragon 1997) and Motor Scooters (Shire 1986).

• An ideal riders machine in its current condition

• Some work carried out in recent years

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 5TA was the first 500cc unit construction twin from the Meridan factory and was more generally known as the ‘Speed Twin’. Although a 500cc twin of medium capacity was not revolutionary, the 5T Speed Twin model was lighter than many contemporary singles with significantly more power and torque. After World War II the 5T Speed Twin model is thought have been responsible for the survival of Triumph, and several major British marques offered a 500cc twin designed on similar lines to the Speed Twin.

This 1961 Triumph 5T is owned by Henry Cole from ITV4’s The Motorbike Show and Shed and Buried and he’s also a land speed record breaker. The Triumph is described as a rider’s machine. We have been advised it is ‘running well’ and ‘handles as it should’, it charges intermittently and may need checking over. The overall condition is ‘good’ with signs of use. It is offered with a current V5C, some paperwork and one key.

• A true barn find

• Found on a Scottish farm

• Turns over with ‘some compression’

The Empire Star was a standard motorcycle made by BSA. Named to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V and advertised as ‘The Masterpiece of the Industry’, the Empire Star range was produced between 1936 and 1939, when it was developed into the BSA Gold Star and World War II stopped production. Developed from the popular BSA Blue Star and designed by Val Page, the Empire Star range had the benefit several ideas Page had been developing at his previous employers, Ariel and Triumph motorcycles. With a heavy frame and iron-barrelled pushrod valves, the Empire Star still had the legacy of the earlier BSAs, however, Page continued to lighten it and introduce engine tuning ideas throughout production.

This true barn-find BSA Empire Star was discovered in an outbuilding on a Scottish farm. We have been informed that it was used around the fields to round up sheep! The machine is more or less complete and would be an ideal candidate for an ‘oily rag’ machine. We are told the BSA turns over with ‘some compression’. There are no accompanying documents with this lot and is purely sold as viewed.

The little side-valve C10 250cc machine had entered the BSA catalogue during 1938. The new model featured a single-cylinder engine with coil ignition and a three-speed, hand-change gearbox housed in a rigid frame with girder forks and was graced with a combined fuel and oil tank. With the end of hostilities in 1945, it was among four machines announced to return in August 1945. 1946 saw the girder forks changed for telescopic items and the speedometer moved to the tank top, and for 1951 the option of a plunger frame and four-speed gearbox became available. The next major revision occurred for 1954, when an alternator was adopted, resulting in a new designation for the smallest BSA four-stroke to C10L.

The BSA C10 on offer was restored to a good standard by the last owner, a few years ago. It is offered with some CDs of the restoration and a handbook. Having not been used since last year, it will need a check over and light recommissioning before use. There is a current V5C and a Dating Certificate from the BSA Owner’s Club.

The 200cc T20 Tiger Cub was designed by Edward Turner, and launched at the Earls Court show in November 1953. It competed well against the other small-capacity motorcycles of the time, such as those using two-stroke engines from Villiers. By the late 1950s, the big 500cc ‘thumpers’ had been eclipsed in trials by small lightweight low capacity machines. Triumph were easily able to adapt their Tiger Cub into a successful machine, both for the works team and for the many privateers wanting them, as the basic machine had all the right attributes.

This very nicely presented Tiger Trials Cub was purchased by the current owner in 2012. It was subject to an extensive and costly restoration to a concours standard.

When ‘Motor Cycle News’ tested an example they recorded a top speed of 111mph and still managed to record 64 miles to the gallon! Revisions which enabled these figures included the use of a 9:1 compression ratio, splayed inlets for the twin carburettors and Bonneville profile camshafts.

From the chassis number, ‘JMU’ is believed to have been built in August of 1974. The late vendor has owned this Triumph T100R for the last 48 years, since 1975! During the recent pandemic, some electrical work was started during the lockdown, but sadly, those jobs and the intention never came to fruition and completion. The machine has not run for a few years and will need to be checked over and work carried out before putting it back on the road. It is offered with a current V5C and two keys.

1923 Lea Francis 3 1/2 HP

• MAG engined Lea Francis V-twin

• Restored many years ago, dry stored since

• Supplied with a buff log book and a V5C

Lea Francis motorcycles quickly gained a reputation for quality and a few celebrity owners greatly enhanced the companies standing, with personalities such as George Bernard Shaw’s purchasing one of their motorcycles. Between 1912 and 1924 approximately 1500 Lea Francis motorcycles are believed to have been built using proprietary engines supplied by the Swiss MAG concern or JAP, housed in their own frames.

This 1923 MAG-engined Lea Francis V-twin, from a deceased estate, has been owned by an enthusiast as part of a small private collection of prewar bikes for many years. An experienced restorer since his teens, he restored this rare bike many years ago and then dry stored it inside his house for safekeeping. Now 100 years old, once recommissioned it should be eligible for events like the Banbury Run. Supplied with a buff log book and a current V5C, this presents as a rare opportunity to acquire one of the few Lea Francis models to have survived.

The 350SE is the Enduro version of KTM’s two-stroke motocross bike so it comes fitted with lights and is road registered. Presented in original condition, it was a pretty rare bike in its day and not many will have survived the rigors of competition use. The bike was built using many quality components from various European suppliers such as Ohlins rear shocks. The bike was taken off the road many years ago due to loss of spark and has been dry stored ever since, the vendor reports the engine turns over with good compression but it will need a good recommissioning before use. It appears to be fitted with an unused rear tyre and a new seat and comes together with a current V5C.

• The last in the line of the distinctive 350cc flat twins

• Restoration file, manuals, buff log book and V5C

The last new motorcycle produced by Douglas, the 1955 Dragonfly, was built around an improved version of the existing engine but despite its riding comfort being described as “equal to a car’s”, only 1,457 Dragonfly motorcycles were sold before the company was taken over and production ended in 1957. The company also built a range of cars between 1913 and 1922 and famously built Vespa scooters under license in the 1950s. This beautifully presented Dragonfly, originally supplied by Pride and Clarke, has been tastefully restored back to its original condition. Still sporting its full set of Miller electrics as it would have been when new, the bike was fully repainted, the wheels rebuilt, new period style tyres fitted and the seat recovered during the restoration. Run and ridden recently by the vendor, it comes supplied with a restoration file, some instruction manuals, a buff log book and a current V5C.

• Velocette project

• MAC engined

• Paperwork on file

The Velocette MSS was launched in 1935 as a 500cc to the new M Series models, intended as a side car hauler. World War II halted production which did not resume until 1954. The new MSS was a much more modern machine with the same frame as the Velocette MAC and was fitted with sidecar lugs and had optional panniers to appeal to the touring market. Buyers started tuning the MSS for speed, however, and the factory responded by producing the sports Velocette Venom model. In 1955 a scrambles version was also produced.

In long term ownership from 1995 to 2022, and actively campaigned and in regular use until recently, ‘DFP’ will need recommissioning before use, however, the MAC engine that is fitted, ‘kicks over’ and appears to have compression. Appearing complete and unmolested, with upgrades including magneto and a Criterion alternator, this could be an excellent opportunity to acquire a sensibly estimated Velocette single in ‘oily rag’ condition. Paperwork on file includes old invoices and service information.

BMW revitalised their image with the introduction of the R90S in 1973. Comparable to many of its rivals, it retained the stamina that had characterised the company’s products to that point. Not content to rest on their laurels, the BMW engineers set about developing a new range of machines with an enlarged “Boxer” engine displacing 980cc. The new range was announced in 1976, The RS was accompanied by the R1007 and the R100S, featuring styling similar to that of the R90S. The “S” was said to offer 65bhp at 6,800rpm with cast alloy wheels were adopted across the range.

The machine on offer is mostly original and comes from a deceased estate. First registered in May of 1978, we have been advised that it is running well. Presenting in its striking 1970s fairing and with a Gold paint scheme, it is complete with its panniers. There is a current V5C on file with some paperwork, a service and repair manual, owner’s workshop manual, old invoices, and a declaration of exemption from both VED and MOT.

In 500cc and 650cc capacity, the T100 was undoubtedly the UK’s most popular twin. The sweeter running half-litre models tended to be rather overshadowed following the introduction of the ultra-successful 650cc Bonneville. During their lifespan, the 500cc Speed Twin and Tiger 100 were subject to a number of mechanical updates, although it is fair to say that the later enclosure of the bike’s rear end was not Triumph’s most popular addition at the time, but seen as desirable to own now, if you can find them complete.

This very smart Triumph T100 has been restored to a good standard by the last owner. It has not been used much since its completion and formed part of a collection of machines. Accompanied to the sale with a current V5C, a check over and some light recommissioning may be required before use.

The Ariel Red Hunter was the name used for a range of Ariel single-cylinder and twin-cylinder motorcycles. They were designed by the firm’s chief designer Val Page in 1932 around an overhead-valve single-cylinder engine he developed six years earlier. Originally a “sports” version of the Ariel 500, 250 and 350cc, versions were developed and became popular with grass track and trials riders. From 1948, the 500cc twin-cylinder Ariels were produced in De Luxe (KG) and Red Hunter (KH) models. The Red Hunter was a success and formed the backbone of the company, and made Ariel able to purchase Triumph.

The previous owner of this Ariel Red Hunter restored it a few years ago and has used it ever since. For improved comfort, a plunger conversion has been fitted sometime in its life. We have been advised by the vendor that the machine was last run at the end of last year. A real rider machine, it is offered with a current V5C.

The Velocette MAC is a British motorcycle made by Velocette. A reliable single-cylinder, the MAC coped well with the low-grade post-war petrol and was a popular commuter and touring motorcycle. Although they started as innovators, Velocette failed to keep pace with developing technology and production ended in 1959.

This Velocette MAC was restored many years ago and has been looked after well. It has mellowed well over the years of use since, and presents as a nicely patinated machine. We have been advised by the vendor that the MAC 350 was running until the end of last autumn, and may require some light recommissioning before use. Offered with a current V5C.

• Complete with a V5C

The Speed Twin 5T is a standard motorcycle that was made by Triumph at their Coventry, and later Meriden factories. Edward Turner, Triumph’s Chief Designer and Managing Director, launched the Triumph Speed Twin at the 1937 National Motorcycle Show. It was a 500cc OHV vertical twin in a lightweight frame and the first truly successful British parallel twin, setting the standard for many twins to follow. After World War II the Speed Twin was responsible for the survival of Triumph, and several major British marques offered a 500cc twin, designed on similar lines to the Speed Twin.

This pre-war Triumph Speed-Twin was found sleeping in a shed, where it had resided for many decades. It is a very complete machine with just the rear stand missing. The engine does turn over with compression and it selects gears at the time of consignment. Sod as viewed with no other parts. This is a wonderful opportunity to either restore or recommission it as it is. Accompanied by a current V5C.

• Subsequently treated to an engine overhaul

• Ride ‘as is’ or improve the cosmetics

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.

This AJS Model 30 had been a ‘barn find’. In ownership since, the engine was stripped and overhauled and is now described by the vendor as ‘running well’. With that recommissioning work, the vendor has been able to use the machine, offering any new owner the benefit of a ride and restore example of a Model 30. Accompanying, is a current V5C and sundry receipts relating to work carried out thus far.

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.

Owned, fettled and ridden regularly by the current owner, in the metal this attractively patinated motorcycle appears to wear a lot of originality. Described by the vendor as ‘running very well’, the S8 is offered here with a current V5C and receipts. The machine also benefits from tyres and tubes that have recently been fitted.

Sunbeam Cycles was founded in 1837 and from 1912 began producing motorcycles, initially being taken over by AMC in 1937 and eventually passing into BSAs hands in 1943. Intended as a deluxe alternative to other 500s of the day, the unusual inline twin shaft drive S7 model appeared in 1946 distinguished by its balloon tyres, but unfortunately was not without its teething troubles. The more traditional-looking S8 was launched in 1949 incorporating a few engine and chassis modifications to address earlier problems.

This Sunbeam S8 was restored to a high standard over a period between 2019-20 and its appearance presents as such in its attractive Silver paintwork. Used sparingly since completion by the vendor, it has been converted to Beam-Spark ignition and has an assisted clutch. The current V5C is present along with some receipts on file.

• Many original parts used

The Kawasaki Z1300 was notably unusual for its large-displacement 1300cc straight-six engine made by Kawasaki from 1979 to 1989. Previously referring to the Z1300 as an ‘Autobahn stormer’, when reviewing their ‘Machine of the Year’ competition results in 1979, where readers had voted for the Triumph Bonneville as the winner, ‘Motor Cycle News’ stated “Kawasaki, with their Z1300, a superb example of technology by anyone’s standards, have gone overboard in many people’s minds.” It was first released at the Cologne Motor Show in Germany in 1978.

This well-presented Z1300 has been the subject of an extensive overhaul of the paint and cycle parts. Restored to a high standard, the work was photographed when carried out. Beautifully painted in Kawasaki’s Holly Green and with good chrome, there have been many original parts used in its transformation. Described as ‘running very well’, the iconic machine has benefitted from a fresh tune-up of the carbs. The machine is offered with a current V5C, old MOT documentation and some old invoices.

• Part of a collection of machines

Demands for a Norton twin with increased performance had been growing following the introduction of the Triumph Thunderbird and Tiger 110 and the BSA A10 series machines, which had left the Norton at a disadvantage.

The new machine utilised the 88’s cycle parts housing a revised engine with a swept volume of 596cc resulting from dimensions of 62 x 82 mm. Regarded by many as being one of the finest motorcycles of the decade, the 99 was endowed with the best handling in its class, although it did not have the outright performance of the Triumph.

Restored to a high standard in 2020, the machine was used sparingly since its completion and for just c.220 miles. Coming from a collection of machines, this example offers ownership of a particularly good example of the model. The Dominator is being offered with a current V5C and an owner’s handbook.

• Last MOT expired December 2021

Following the launch of the R90S in 1973, not content to rest on their laurels, BMW developed a new range for 1976, with an enlarged “Boxer” engine displacing 980cc. Headed by the R100RS, the first production motorcycle to feature an integrated fairing, the RS was accompanied by the naked R100/7 and the R100/S. 1978’s R100RT featured a larger fairing and was intended to appeal to the touring rider and the replacement of the R100/7 with the R100/T. The fully faired variants employed an engine in a slightly higher state of tune to compensate for the extra weight of the fairings whilst the “S” and the naked offered 65bhp at 6,800rpm.

Displaying c.83,000 recorded miles, this Silver with Blue example of a fairing wearing R100, wears the in-period 3-tone Blue stripes, a popular scheme on many BMW products of the time. First registered in August of 1980 the machine has the BMW touring panniers on the flanks and a rear carrier. With 6 former keepers recorded, the machine was last MOT’d as recently as 2020, only expiring in December of 2021.

In 1966, the Honda P50 was the last motor-wheel moped designed by Honda. All of the driveline components were housed within the large hub of the rear wheel. The engine is also 4-stroke, unusual when moped used simpler 2-stroke engines. Soichiro Honda disliked the sharp noise of 2-strokes. It is a cool machine and many will have seen broadcaster James May, from BBCs ‘Top Gear’, regularly using his own on TV.

This example was last known on the road in 1971. Purchased from A.E. Reynolds the famous Liverpool motorcycle manufacturer, come dealer, it still wears the dealer’s decals on the mudguard. At the time of consignment, the engine turned and, when the pedals were pushed, the lights do activate. We are told there is a good spark and this leads us to suggest that she will fire up and will need the carburettor cleaned and light commissioning in order to run. With the original steering lock and keys, the brakes do activate. The bodywork, and particularly the plastic parts, are in very good condition. The choke lever and fuel tap also seem to work. The accessory shopping basket holder is a particularly nice period feature.

• An unusual part of Ducati history, supplied with a V5C

Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonnio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a push-bike with a clip-on engine. By the ‘60s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bike’s chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. In an often forgotten aside, Ducati also produced a range of 350cc and 500cc parallel twins in the 1970s with the engine designed by Ricardo.

This 500GTV Desmo was recently imported from Spain where it seems they sold quite well in the day. Fitted with typical high-quality chassis components such as Brembo front and rear disc brakes and Paioli front forks and styled like the 860GTS, it’s a rare and interesting part of Ducati history.

The Yamaha Motor Company’s first bike, produced in 1954, was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam it was a copy of the German-made DKW RT125, but in typical Japanese fashion, this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events, starting a long tradition of achievement that continues today in Moto GP and WSBk racing. The FJ1100 was launched in 1985 as Yamaha’s entry into the sports tourer market and was superseded in 1986 by a new model increasing the engine displacement to 1200cc, adding upgraded suspension and other components known as the FJ1200.

The 1100 Sport was intended to be Moto Guzzi’s second proposal for a sports bike, with more simplified equipment than the Daytona from which it was descended. However, the differentiation between the two models was not so marked, and fundamentally it was not even technically, so the two models ended up cannibalizing each other, not allowing either of them to break through. Unlike the Daytona, the 1100 Sport was also equipped with the latest evolution of the V2 engine , brought from the original 992cc of the Daytona to 1064cc. The 1100 Sport also borrowed the Daytona frame, designed and developed by John Wittner.

First registered in September of 1996, this is a very presentable example of the well-respected Moto Guzzi Superbike. In present ownership since 2010, with a modest indicated recorded mileage of c.15,382km, the machine is described by the vendor as being in ‘running order’. The vendor recommends a service and check over prior to use and the MOT.

Bought by the third listed owner in 1966 when he was still only 21, he began a full restoration together with his friend, both of them directors of the Friends of Beamish Museum. The bike was used in various rallies and was later passed on to his friend to join his Pre War collection. It comes with numerous receipts detailing the restoration process together with various owners and service manuals, books, old MOTs and a current V5C. Not run for the last few years, it will need recommissioning before use but is a fascinating and well-documented part of motorcycling history.

• Extensively restored c.1997

• Ideal lightweight vintage machine

• On static display in a porch for the last two years

For the 1930 Isle of Man TT, a new OK JAP powered 250cc machine, with the cams fitted to the vertical tower, made its first appearance. A road version was made available the following year. In 1934, another overheadcam OK made its debut at the Olympia show. Available in road, trials and race trim and in 250 and 350 capacities, it continued in production until early 1939.

This OK supreme was a labour of love by the late engineer owner. Restored to a very high standard (show winning), he carried out all the work himself, an ideal lightweight machine for many vintage events. Not run for the last two years and it has been stored in a house’s porch since. Light recommissioning will be required before use. It comes with a current V5C.

• A nice old Constellation

• Correct numbers machine

• It comes complete with a current V5C

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 Constellation is offered with a current V5C. The usual checks would be advised before use, due to the bike coming from short-term storage.

• Some light recommissioning to be carried out before placing it back on the road

The Norton Commando is a British Norton-Villiers motorcycle with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, produced by the Norton Motorcycle company from 1967 until 1977. The Norton Commando was introduced in 1967 at the Earls Court Show and the first production bikes were available in March 1968. Initially having a nominal 750cc displacement, actually 745cc, in 1973 it became an 850cc, actually 828cc. During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the United Kingdom it won the ‘Motor Cycle News’ “Machine of the Year” award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Around 60,000 Commandos were made in total. Formally part of a private collection of motorcycles, this Norton was discovered as a ‘project’ some time ago. Some work will need to be carried out before putting the machine back on the road, however, it is an all-correct numbers machine and is offered here with a VMCC Dating Certificate. It comes to auction accompanied by a current V5C.

• Would make a straightforward restoration

• Correct numbers machine

• Complete with a current V5C

Living in the shadow of its bigger brother, Honda’s CB550/4 has qualities, was just as handsome with less heft and is just as nice an engine. Honda was producing a middleweight four-stroke, four-cylinder sports tourer and, in the process, it created a whole genre. It had launched its CB500/4 in 1971 to complement the class-leading CB750/4. The compact unit helped the bike to have a lower centre of gravity, as the engine was significantly lighter than that of the CB750/4, the handling of the CB500/4 and the later CB550/4 was livelier and it was a much easier bike to ride. The frame was a steel cradle with twin down-tubes and it was stiff and well-engineered for the weight and power of the bike, which contributed greatly to the bike’s handling.

This Honda 550/4 (550 Four) would be good as an oily rag bike or a relatively straight forward restoration. A correct numbers motorcycle, the vendor has said that it was ‘running last year’ and has been in very short-term storage since. It comes complete with a current V5C.

• Stood for a few years so will need recommissioning

• Supplied with a V5

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. The legendary 400/4 was launched in 1975 to great acclaim and revolutionised medium capacity motorcycles giving riders 500cc performance in a small lightweight package with a café racer look, lower handlebars, rear-set foot pegs and one of its most recognisable features, a swooping four-into-one exhaust system.

This good-looking bike in Yellow, is the later F2 version of Honda’s classic 1970s middleweight sports bike. It has been part of a small private collection for a number of years, unfortunately not run for a while due to ill health. The engine turns on the kickstarter, but it will need recommissioning before use. The bike has been restored at some point and is supplied with a current V5C.

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 late 1960s Bonneville has been part of a small private collection for a number of years, unfortunately, it has not run for a while due to ill health. The bike has been restored at some point in its life and the engine turns on the kickstarter, but it will need recommissioning before use. The last of the non ‘oil in frame’ bikes, this probably represents the peak of development of Triumph’s most iconic model. The bike comes supplied with a few old MOTs and a V5C.

The BSA B31, introduced in 1945, was the first new model introduced by the company after the Second World War. Based on pre-war designs, it used a single cylinder four stroke engine that displaced 348cc housed initially in a rigid frame with telescopic forks, the first use of such on a BSA. It developed about 17bhp with a top speed of around 70mph and proved to be immediately popular,and was soon joined by a 500cc version, the BSA B33 and various competition equivalents.

This swinging arm B31 has been part of a small private collection for a number of years, unfortunately not run for a few years due to ill health.

• This was the late owner’s passion

• Attention to detail throughout

We are grateful to the vendor for the following description:

“This Douglas four is a one-off special that I built. This is the Mk2 version of a Dragon Four, that it is believed, Don Brown built in the late 1990s. The Douglas Four is the result of a challenge to improve upon his first attempt (which was very successful); Mr Brown wanted it to look as if it could have come from the Douglas factory but with more modern refinements. He decided to base it on the earlier engines as correspondence in the early 1950s between Eddie Withers and the Factory, suggested they could produce a 4 cylinder unit from already available ‘350 Twin’ parts, for a modest outlay. The bike was run reliably with an exhaust note, not unlike an Ariel Square Four. It comes complete with a current V5C and pictures of the build. Due to being stood for around 2 years recommissioning will be required.”

This stunning looking Tiger 100 was built on the 18th of August 1953 and the numbers suggest it was amongst the last batch of 250 sprung hub models to be manufactured. After the summer holiday shutdown the Triumph factory would then start making the new swinging arm models for the 1954 season. ‘OLP 999’ was first registered in January 1954 by Eleanor Motors of Hackney and spent most of its early life in the London area.

Restored in the mid-1980s with the intention of returning it to factory condition and retaining as much originality as possible, it still looks like a recent job. Part of a small private collection, it had a magneto overhaul and a new tyres fitted last year and was used during the summer months until being dry stored over the winter. The bike comes supplied with its original buff log book, numerous receipts, photographs and hand-written correspondence concerning its restoration as well as a current V5C.

BMW was established in the early 1900s as a manufacturer of aircraft engines and produced their first motorcycle in 1923, the R23, already sporting the flat-twin boxer configuration they have now become synonymous with. By the 1970s they had become the most popular bike for long-distance touring due to the torquey engine and shaft drive transmission.

This 1922 2 3/4 Wooler was purchased in 1925 by Mr Robert Donald Spredbrow, a Brooklands racer of the day. It was then ridden in the Vintage Motorcycle Club ‘A cavalcade of historic motorcycles’ in 1965, a Mr J Wooler owned it at that time. Documentation shows it was used in the 33rd Banbury Run in 1985, by Mr Spredbrow. It was purchased by the late owner many years ago and restored by him and enjoyed at many events. This is a very rare machine today, it is possibly the prototype of the model - believed to be the only 350cc model made!

• Purchased as a project in 1976

• The engine was rebuilt and ran

• Stored since 1979 due to other commitments

The BSA A7 was the first of the BSA twin-cylinder motorcycles. The outbreak of World War II delayed the launch and several prototypes were built during the war years, with the model finally launched in September 1946, when hostilities had ended. The very first A7 off the production line was flown to Paris for the first motorcycle show after the end of the war. There was huge demand for affordable transport after the war and the simplicity of the A7 twin was helped along by the slogan ‘It’s time YOU had a BSA!’.

This BSA A7 project has been with the current owner since 1976. He rebuilt the engine to complete the restoration, but due to other commitments, the project stalled. Sadly, it was pushed to the back of the garage until the pictures were taken recently. The engine turns over with compression and rolls freely. An ideal and worthy project to complete. It is offered with the V5C.

Many John Marston Sunbeam motorcycle models were produced. The first was a 350cc in 1912 followed by a range of 500cc singles and some V-twins. In 1924, a new model numbering system was introduced; Sunbeam Models

1 through 11. Other higher-numbered models were produced in later years. A hallmark of all Marston Sunbeams was the superb quality and finish in Black with Gold-leaf pinstriping.

This bike was restored by Tony Trumen in Derby, for the current owner. He had the bike for more than 20 years. It was purchased around 12 years ago, after it had been restored. It was stored in the vendor’s works office for many years until his retirement, and “it needs a new home where it can be ridden and appreciated as much as I enjoyed its company”. The Sunbeam has been fitted with a BTH electronic ignition system, which makes for easier starting. It has won the ‘Best Pre-War Bike’ at Shepton, it has also been featured in ‘Classic Bike’ magazine. This is a very original and correct machine.

Purchased by the late owner in May 2004, this machine was declared manufactured in 1929 but given an age-related registration number in 1997. It is presumed the original documents had gone missing. It was used sparingly in his ownership, mostly on the VMCC Banbury Run in which it successfully completed on numerous occasions. Powered by a twin-port Villiers engine of 172cc, it had been acquired from the previous owner after he had in-turn purchased it as a basket case from Beaulieu Autojumble and spent some three years restoring it. A subsequent rolling road power test (copy on file) showed a maximum output of 4.75hp with a maximum speed of 53mph.

Founded by William Chater-Lea in 1890 by 1908 Chater-Lea were entering the Isle of Man TT races. In the early 1920s Chater-Lea tried to change its touring image into a sportier one and employed Dougal Marchant as development engineer. He converted a Woodmann-designed overhead valve Blackburne engine to overhead camshaft and it became the first 350cc to exceed 100mph, recording 100.81mph over the flying kilometre during April 1924. Later, Marchant set a world record flying kilometre for 350cc and 500cc motorcycles at 102.9mph for the firm.

This 1929 350cc ‘face-cam’ Chater-Lea was lightly restored by the current owner using Chater-Lea parts.

The AJS Silver Streak was a British motorcycle launched in 1938 and described in the sales brochure as the ‘aristocrats of the motorcycle world’. Produced with a choice of 250cc, 350cc and 500cc engines, the Silver Streaks were super sport machines with a special polished finish and hand-tuned engines. As many parts as possible were specially chrome plated, including the mudguards, headlamp, fork links, front and rear chain cases, oil and petrol tanks and even the tool-box. The Silver Streak had high ground clearance and a substantial crankcase shield which even made it a good competition motorcycle.

This bike was restored by Tony Trumen 13 years ago and when first shown at Stafford won the ‘Best Bike’ in the show. It has been shown at many events and received lots of awards to the extent that the vendor does not show it anymore. A current mileage reading is true ‘since restoration’. The vendor has gone through the machine and describes it as ‘running well’ and is said to have ‘been running recently’. A very attractive machine, the Silver Streak is offered with a current V5C.

Count Domenico Agusta had a passion for motorcycle racing and much like Enzo Ferrari, the Agusta family produced motorcycles to fund their racing efforts, so the company launched its own factory racing programme, going on to dominate Grand Prix racing. Inline 4-cylinder engines were a characteristic feature of MV Agusta race bikes and a very exclusive range of 600cc to 860cc 4 cylinder road bikes became the most desirable and expensive bikes available at the time. Motorcycle production ceased in 1977, only restarting in 1999 after the Castiglioni family took over the name.

• A machine inspired by the racing success of John Wittner

• Displaying c.18,789km on the odometer

• An excellent example

The Daytona 1000 IE is a sports motorcycle produced by Moto Guzzi between 1992 and 1999. Initially presented at the 1989 Milan Show in a carburettor version as a replica of a racing bike that competed in races for bikes derived from the series, the Daytona 1000 IE was marketed from 1992. The Moto Guzzi Daytona was born to commercially exploit the racing successes obtained in the United States by the local trainer John Wittner, a former dentist who later became known to enthusiasts as Dr. John, who revived the glories of the Italian manufacturer, which withdrew from racing after 50 years.

An excellent example of the fabled and now rare Daytona 1000 IE in present ownership since 2010 and just two former keepers. Now displaying c.18,789km on the odometer, this impressive machine is said to have always been kept in a heated garage. ‘CFS’ has had little use in recent years and though described as in good running order, the vendor recommends a service and check over prior to use and the gaining of an MOT. The paperwork file includes the owner’s handbook, service book and an original sales brochure, together with various invoices and a spare key.

• From a collection of Japanese machines

• In ‘as-purchased’ condition and not run for a while

• Will need fully recommissioning before road use

The Yamaha FZR1000 was produced by Yamaha from 1987 to 1995. Classed as a ‘sports bike’, the FZR1000 was generally regarded as the world’s finest production sports motorcycle at that time, and in its 1989 FZR1000R incarnation, the engine produced over 140hp with class-leading handling to match. The FZR1000R won ‘Bike of the Year’ throughout the motorcycle press and was crowned the “Bike of the Decade” by ‘Cycle World’. The machine was continually updated throughout its lifetime and continued to collect awards through the early 1990s. The big new feature was the Exhaust Ultimate Powervalve (EXUP) to smooth out power delivery. Purchased approximately 8 years ago, this FZR1000 has not been used due to existing as part of a static collection of Japanese machines. In ‘as-purchased’ condition and not run for a while, it will need full recommissioning before road use.

• Repainted previously

• Now in famous Kawasaki Green

• We have been advised that it is ‘running well’

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

Sometime in the past, the machine has been repainted from Blue to the famous Kawasaki Green. We have been advised by the vendor that the motorcycle is ‘running well’.

• Imported into the UK in 2019

The competition models of the Tiger 100 range were not officially available in the UK, initially, the majority of the early ones being exported to the USA for racing. The initial TR5A/C model was replaced in 1962 by the T100S/C Tiger 100 Competition Trophy. In 1966 the model name was changed to the more recognisable T100C, and in 1968 the Tiger name was changed to Trophy 500. Over the 10 years the model was available it underwent a number of developments, not least to the frame. Twin upswept exhausts were introduced in 1966 and a twin leading shoe front brake was fitted from 1969.

This 1970 Triumph Trophy 500 was sold new in Baltimore USA. Restored to a high standard and re-imported back to the UK in 2019. Purchased by the current vendor for his collection and has not used it since, some light recommissioning will be required before use. This Trophy 500 is offered with a current V5C.

The 650cc BSA A10 Golden Flash, to give it its full name, was developed by Bert Hopwood in 1949 to compete with the parallel twins being offered by Triumph and Norton at the time. With a good turn of speed and a strong chassis, it probably became the world’s first ‘Sports Tourer’.

This pre unit BSA 650 twin is one of the later models with full-width hubs, currently fitted with the more sporty-looking Gold Star style mudguards the original steel ones are included in the sale. There are receipts from SRM Engineering, dated 2002, for a large amount of work carried out on the engine adding up to over £1500. This includes a crank regrind and balance, needle roller bearing conversion, HD drive-side bearing, new pistons and a full cylinder head overall including Colisbro guides, Tuftrided valves and lead-free seats.

• Slater Brothers certificate present

The Montjuic was UK only high-performance model created initially by the UK importers Slater Brothers. Introduced in 1979, the engine was tuned with S1 cams, high compression pistons and a Sito exhaust and produced around 50bhp. The bikes were shipped to the UK as a very much stripped and bare machine. Once in the UK, the bodywork and fairing, made by Screen and Plastics, were fitted. A Laverda named after the Spanish circuit following the Laverda successes there.

The late owner partially restored the Laverda over a couple of years, being completed to a very good standard with many new parts being used and new paintwork. Since completion, this correct numbers machine has been used sparingly. Accompanying the machine are some receipts and, importantly, a Slater Brothers certificate is on file. We are told the Montjuic was ‘running’ earlier this year and everything is believed to be working as it should.

Following the success of the original Z1000, Kawasaki developed the ‘Z1-R’ as a new top model that would set new standards in design and performance. This embellished version of the Z1000 motorcycle, had a fixed half-shell fairing was only available with a Metallic Stardust Silver paint. Although the design was well-received from potential buyers, sales remained unsatisfactory. Readers of the German ‘Motorrad’ magazine selected the Z1-R as their ‘Motorcycle of the Year’ for 1977.

This beautiful, rare and very well presented Kawasaki Z1R was partially restored to a very high standard by the late vendor.

• Part of the proceeds go to the Derby Blood Bike Charity

The Squirrel name was used for Scott motorcycles since 1921 but with the death of the founder Alfred Angas Scott in 1923 the unorthodox Scott twostroke 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. Updated versions were later produced . In 1950, the rights were bought by the Birmingham based Aerco Company and in 1956 they produced what are known as ‘the Birmingham Scotts’.

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 consignment, 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.

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 250cc single-cylinder Crusader was a very popular bike in its day and doubtless sparked the interest of many a future motorcyclist.

An older restoration in keeping with the lines of the ‘Café Racer’ era, this Crusader ‘Special’ consists of leading link front forks suggestive of Crusader Super 5 origins. The 250cc Royal Enfield Crusader and Continentals were some of the fastest 250 machines of their day and still have a good following. The machine has been in part of a private collection for some time and will therefore require recommissioning before use.

• Trend-setting machine

• Vendor describes as ‘very good condition’

• From the first year of production

Honda XL250 is a four-stroke 250cc motorcycle introduced in 1972 and manufactured through most of the 1980s. When it appeared, it was the first modern four-stroke enduro motorcycle and the first mass-produced fourvalve motorcycle. The XL250 is an ‘enduro’ or dual-sport bike, meaning it physically looks like a dirt bike, and shares many characteristics with a dirt bike, but it is street-legal and intended for on and off road use. The bike is completely mechanically operated as there are no hydraulics on the bike. The 250cc four-stroke motor produces 24hp at the wheel. Demand for this model has remained high among collectors and enthusiasts.

Offered here is an XL250 that is reported to be in very good condition throughout. Displaying 9,504 credible miles the vendor advises that the machine should be given a thorough check and service before any use. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire an early example of the trend-setting and much sought after 250 ‘Motorsport’ from the first year of production.

• Requires recommissioning

The air cooled GS500E engine traces its roots back to the first Suzuki four-strokes. The 1977 GS400 became the GS425, then the GS450, and finally the GS500, which retains the same basic layout and qualities, such as reliability, that made the original GS engines so appealing. The GS550 offered 486cc and 46hp from the air-cooled inline 4, DOHC 8 valve engine.

This is an early 4 cylinder example of the much respected Suzuki GS500 series. A later iteration of the GS, this late 1970s motorcycle appears to be in ‘good condition throughout although it has not been in use for several years. Requiring at least a check over and recommissioning before going back on the road to be enjoyed, it is UK registered (since 1996) and is offered with a V5C.

The vendor purchased the R75/6 in 2021, as a ‘Covid ride’ and for ‘stay-cations’ with the previous ownership since 1979.

In 2020, it is believed the machine was fitted with a pair of Continental tyres and Hagon rear shocks. More recently, in 2022, the bike benefitted from the following; new steering damper, oil filter and engine oil changed, braided hydraulic brake hose (front) and new locks fitted on the panniers.

A wide range of models was produced by Matchless between 1899 and 1966, from small two-strokes to big four-stroke twins. The marque had a long history of racing success with a Matchless ridden by Charlie Collier winning the first single-cylinder race at the first IOM TT in 1907. An amalgamation with AJS in 1931 formed Associated Motor Cycles which continued until the group’s closure in the mid-60s.

This 1928 T3 is a 500cc side valve model with a 3-speed Sturmey Archer gearbox. From a deceased estate, its an older restoration and has not been run for a while so will need some recommissioning but the engine turns over on the kickstarter.

The introduction of Honda’s seminal CB750 at the Tokyo show in October, 1968, profoundly altered the motorcycle market elevating motorcyclist’s expectations to a higher level. The new model did not introduce any new innovations but was innovative in what it introduced as a package. Four cylinder power-plants, electric starts, 12v electrical systems and disc brakes had all been seen before, as had 120mph performance and oil-tight engines. As machines started to filter onto the market, it became obvious from the road tests that the hype generated by the advanced specification was warranted, here was a sophisticated motorcycle with excellent performance that had moved the goalposts, giving Honda a significant advantage in the marketplace.

This Honda CB750 F1 was restored a few years ago to a good standard and then used since its completion. Benefitting from electronic ignition having been fitted, it is said it ‘starts and runs well’. It is offered with a current V5C.

Velocette is the brand name of motorcycles made by Veloce Ltd in Hall Green, Birmingham between 1904 and 1971. One of several motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham, Velocette was a family owned firm. Renowned for itstwo 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 was achieved on a Venom in 1961 cementing its reputation as one of the best sports bikes of its day. This Velocette ‘Thruxton replica’ has been owned since 1978. The build started life with just a frame and engine, with all parts gathered being original NOS or good secondhand components. With completion in 1986, it has since been used by the late owner.

• Subsequently ridden by the enthusiast vendor

The difficult trading conditions of the mid-1920s prompted Triumph to produce a machine that could undercut its rivals on price whilst retaining the excellent finish that had become associated with the firm. Introduced in 1925, the Model P succeeded in achieving Triumph’s aims, selling for £42 17s 6d, a figure that only BSA could approach with their 493cc “3 ½” at £44. The new machine was entirely conventional with a side valve engine, three speeds and chain drive, although the early contracting band front brake was unusual and somewhat marginal in performance, it was replaced when the second batch of machines was produced, the first 20,000 having been built at the rate of a 1000 a week during 1925.

With the current ownership spanning over 20 years, this Triumph Model P has been restored during that time. The restoration was completed in 2013 by the current owner and subsequently the motorcycle has been used since, by the owner/ enthusiast. The Model P is offered at auction with a current V5 on file.

The first Zenith motorcycle was the ‘BiCar’ of 1903, based on Tooley’s BiCar design, which was purchased by Zenith for its own production. Fred (‘Freddie’) W. Barnes was hired as chief engineer in 1905, and patented the “Gradua” variable-ratio belt drive transmission that year. The Gradua system simultaneously changed the diameter of the crankshaft belt-drive pulley to alter the drive ratio, while moving the rear wheel forward or back to maintain belt tension. The Gradua system was among the first attempts to provide multiple drive ratios for a motorcycle, at a time when very simple, direct belt-drive transmission was the industry norm.

Understood to have been purchased by Jeff in 1986 (bill of sale on file), this Benelli is understood to be ‘cosmetically sound’ but described as ‘needing work’. A 1996 letter in the history file relates how, following acquisition, it was discovered that a fuel leak and problem with the 2 into 4 rubber manifold, that was fitted to road models, meant the bike could not be run and it was apparently never used. We are further informed that the petrol tank and most of the plastic fairings have previously been removed and are now loosely fitted.

Once repatriated back to the UK, it was bought by the vendor who decided to keep the bike as original as possible. Whilst it was on display in Japan the fuel and oil tank had been internally coated with a waxy solution that had got into the engine, so a complete rebuild was carried out including a new piston, crank bearings, oil pump, clutch plates, carb and electronic ignition system fitted. The tank was repainted due to some previous scratches with care being taken to match the original colour and the speedo recalibrated to MPH.

Based around a 1950 Vincent Comet engine the frame is an unmarked Egli frame (believed 1970s/1980s), albeit with a DVLA issued VIN number (not stamped on the frame). The specification also includes alloy rims, TLS front brake with race linings, good Bridgestone Battlax tyres, a Dellorto carburettor, the gearbox rebuilt by the Plymouth-based engineer Terry Hobbs, an alloy tank, bespoke alloy mudguard and seat, Scitsu tachometer, a Domino throttle and lock-wired components. We are also advised the machine easily passes the decibel test.

The bike has a 5-speed transmission. The TL125, like its bigger brother, the TL250, was one of the few trials bikes that Honda ever produced.

The Sammy Miller Honda TL125 was constructed and developed with some involvement from the off-road master and multiple champion Trials rider. Production ceased in mid-1978. With one previous owner from new, prior to the vendor’s ownership, this Sammy Miller Honda TL125 comes from a 13 year ownership and is offered in ‘very good condition’, as described by the vendor.

It was sent to Gary Clarke for a full engine and gearbox overhaul, which included a crankshaft refurbishment, new bearings, seals, pistons and rings. The carburettor was also rebuilt as necessary, a new exhaust system was also added at this time. Overhaul of the electrics included a new generator and CDI boxes. At the time of refurbishment, and at great cost, the machine was also repainted. The H2 has not been used much due to the owner’s ill-health and will need runningin and the usual checks before use. It comes complete with a current V5C.

• Purchased by the late vendor in 1988

• Subsequently restored over a two-year period

• Lots of paperwork and handwritten notes

Sunbeam revised their range of motorcycles for the 1924 season giving the models numbers by which they could be identified, the 347cc side valve becoming the Model 1 complemented by the more sporting Model 2. The next two seasons’ models saw little in the way of change for the machine’s specification, with only details requiring amendment, thus the front drum brake introduced the previous year on the overhead valve models, became standard across the range.

This 1926 Sunbeam was purchased as a restoration project in 1988. The late vendor carried out some restoration work over a two-year duration before use of the machine as an enthusiast. There is some fascinating documentation that relates to the machine that accompanies the Model 1 to the sale. Used up until August 2022, the Sunbeam will require the usual checks before returning it back to the road. Offered with a file of paperwork, old MOT certificates, dating back to 1989, an RF60 continuation logbook and the current V5C.

The Autobyk marked Excelsior’s return to civilian production in 1946 and was originally offered with the 98cc Villiers Junior De Luxe. For 1947 it was joined by a version using the 98cc Excelsior Goblin which was quickly joined by a second Excelsior-powered 98cc machine fitted with the singlespeed Sprite engine.

Purchased by the late vendor approximately ten years ago, this Excelsior Autobyk was then the subject of some restoration work by him. Postrestoration, the Autobyk was used and enjoyed for some time, being last run in the August of 2022. Since that time, the machine has been in storage, so it will require checks and light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C some old MOT certificates and a Dating Certificate.

• In immaculate condition

• Fastideously maintained to a high standard

• Current V5C on file

In 2010, the Triumph Sprint GT (Grand Tourer) was launched with a change of emphasis. Compared to the class-leading ST (Sports Tourer), the GT was more focused on two-up touring, with a longer wheelbase, more weight and a better pillion provision. The longer chassis allowed pillion footpegs to be repositioned to be more accommodating for a passenger. Removing the ST’s under-seat silencers to a conventional position allowed the reshaped pillion seat to be lower. Uprated hard panniers were a standard fitting. These panniers were more robust and much larger than the previous STs

First registered in June of 2013, this 2013 Triumph Sprint GT 1050 has been extremely well looked after. The machine comes to sale complete with all its luggage carriers and sets of keys and in what could be described as superb running order. It has been treated to Halo Smart Protection for several years to keep all the paintwork etc. in the best condition. Described by the vendor in ‘as new’ condition, it presents immaculately and will be offered with, 2 sets of keys, the handbooks, a sales booklet and some old MOTs and the current V5C.

• Said to be in ‘good overall’ condition but not used of late

• Comes with service book and three sets of keys

The Honda CBF 250 had an air-cooled, four-stroke, 249cc single cylinder, DOHC engine, paired to a six-speed manual transmission with a chain final drive, and can reach a maximum power output of 20hp and 22Nm of torque. Design-wise, it was a ‘naked’ motorcycle produced by Honda between 2003 and 2008. Essentially a commuter bike, it was lightweight and intended for city riding. It was small, had excellent handling, a relatively small engine and was also regarded as an ideal first bike.

The late owner has owned this Honda CBF 250-4 for the last 18 years. In good all-round condition for its age, it will require light recommissioning before use, as it has not been used in the last few months. It comes to auction with a current V5C, the service book and 3 sets of keys.

• Some parts required in order to complete

After World War II, the Indian Chief was the only pre-war Indian model to be manufactured. The late owner of this 1947 Indian Chief was in the midst of its restoration. A lot of work has been carried out during that ownership. Purchased in 2005 as an incomplete project, the late vendor set about restoring the 1947 machine to its former glory, with many parts purchased (receipts on file). The restoration stalled when the late vendor was let down by outsourced work. All the tinware has been painted and some chrome work has been carried out. The engine has been stripped and is ready for its rebuild.

• Still retaining its original transferable registration number

• The previous owner had this machine from 1997

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

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

By the 1970s the BMW flat-twin had become the most popular bike for longdistance touring due to the torquey engine and shaft drive transmission. With their solid design and legendary reliability, mid 1970s ‘Airheads’ have become a popular bike for modifying so it’s rare to find one in standard original condition.

From a deceased estate, this R100/7 has only one owner listed on the V5 from new and comes together with its original invoice from L & C Motorcycles of Tunbridge Wells dated 30th March 1979. Also included are lots of receipts, old MOTs and invoices documenting its history and the original handbook and service book. Fitted with stainless silencers at some point in its life, it has been run recently with a new battery and the fork seals replaced, carbs cleaned and the fuel tap overhauled. Still in need of a final recommissioning before being used as it has been stood for a while, it comes supplied with a current V5C.

The Yamaha Motor Co was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German-made DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. The company’s two-stroke twin cylinder range of the late sixties and early seventies cemented Yamaha’s reputation for high performance two strokes and formed the basis of many race bikes in the day.

This matching numbers 125cc twin came into the UK from Ireland and was restored in 2015, with an engine overhaul carried out in 2019. Not used for the last 2 years, it will need checking and some recommissioning. The fuel tank has been lined and a new tap fitted.

• Owned since 1996 when 2 years old

• A recent MOT on this machine (March 2024)

• A current V5C and various paperwork on file

The Ducati 888 was an upgrade to the Ducati 851. The earlier 851 had introduced liquid cooling, computerised fuel injection and four-valve heads to the company’s two-cylinder motors. 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.

This Ducati 888 has spent the last 27 years with the current vendor. The machine has been enjoyed in that time and has never been on a track. It went to the Middle East for a short time with the owner, due to work commitments, and returned back to the UK with him. It has a new starter motor, uprated AGM Battery and clutch slave seals new front and rear tyres. This 888 is only being sold due to the owner having a knee operation a few years ago and it is difficult for him to ride. It is offered with a current V5C, old receipts and various other paperwork.

During WW1, Royal Enfield supplied large numbers of motorcycles to the British War Department and also to the Imperial Russian Government. Royal Enfield fitted their own 225cc two-stroke single and 425cc engines in the smaller capacity bikes and JAP engines for bigger bikes but in 1921 they began to use a Vickers-Wolseley manufactured 976cc V-twin engine that showed its aircraft origins by being started with a large crank handle beneath the seat.

This 1921 Model 180, from a deceased estate, has been owned by an enthusiast as part of a small private collection of pre-war bikes for many years. An experienced restorer since his teens, unfortunately he did not get around to finishing this project but the bike comes supplied with various parts to hopefully complete the job including various lighting parts, a mag and spares and some new cables. This bike, now over 100 years old, should be eligible for events like the Banbury Run once completed. Supplied with a buff log book and a current V5C.

• Four decades with the previous owner’s family

• In a private collection a few years ago

• Will require recommissioning before use

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. 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. Some adaptation to create ‘scramblers’ was quite common.

This wonderful BSA scrambler machine is based upon a BB32 Gold Star and was in the previous owner’s family for over forty years. The current vendor has had the machine in his private collection since purchased. Last run in the summer of 2022, we are told it will likely be in need of recommissioning before use. This is a very striking BSA and ideal for pre65 trials and scrambles. It comes complete with a current V5C.

Already advertising the 110mph Rapide as “The world’s fastest production motorcycle”, in 1948 the legendary Black Shadow was announced with a top speed of 125 mph, so becoming the fastest motorcycle in the world. The 1000cc twins have become some of the most desirable and iconic bikes of the era.

This 1955 Series D Black Shadow is part of a deceased estate and has been stood for a number of years, the engine turns over on the kickstarter but it has not been run for a while so will require a good recommissioning or restoration before use. The engine and frame numbers have been checked by the VOC, with crankcase half numbers of H27V, and it appears to have survived in essentially original condition, just missing its speedo. Only c144 Series ‘Ds’ were produced and they were the last bikes to leave the factory before production ceased in December 1955. It comes supplied with a buff log book showing its last change of owner being in 1967 and a current V5C.

The top yoke is the GT style alloy unit incorporating a Smiths 120 m.p.h. speedo and a Smiths 8k redline tacho. The wheels rims are Akront alloys with classic 1960s style ‘bacon slicer’ cooling rings on the front hub that sports an air scoop brake plate.

Norton was founded by James 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 race bikes, the legendary Featherbed frame eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc Dominator twin cylinder engine.

This 1961 Model 99 was bought by the vendor’s father from his friend Fred Stevens, a well-known racer and motorcycle dealer from Southport. Used by the owner over the next few years it was eventually passed on to his son and last used in the early 1980s, eventually being stored away as a future project. Whilst in need of a complete rebuild, it has remained in standard condition and will make a fascinating restoration project. Not many of these slimline Featherbed ‘Dommies’ have survived, many being cannibalized into various Cafe Racer specials due to the desirability of the frame.

The Velocette Viper was built by Velocette between 1955 and 1968. Built using traditional methods and materials, it struggled to compete against more modern machines. Introduced in October 1955, the single-cylinder Viper was developed from the 500cc Velocette MSS which also led to the almost identical 500cc Velocette Venom. Designed by Charles Udall, the Viper’s 349cc engine had a bi-metal cylinder with a cast iron liner, high compression piston and a light alloy cylinder head. Using the same bottom end as the Venom, the Viper had a lot of chrome plating and was offered in a choice of Black or “Willow Green” paintwork.

This Velocette Viper was restored by the previous owner to a good standard and used by him until 2018. The current owner used the Velocette Viper for summer runs and events. There is a box file of paperwork, handbooks, old tax discs, MOT certificates and a continuation RF60 logbook. A current V5C is on file.

The unit construction single-cylinder engine was designed with an overhead camshaft for high performance. The chain-driven camshaft operated the valves via rocker arms, which were closed by hairpin valve springs. The engine was inclined forward at 10° and manufactured in alloy and a bore and stroke of 59.5 × 62 mm. This model had a frame of a double loop design using tubes for the front sections and pressed steel members at the real. The CSTL (Turismo Lusso) also featured 19” wheels and a “long seat” (dual-seat) fitted.

With just one owner from new recorded, this MV Agusta CSTL is reportedly in full running order, but has not been ridden since restoration work by an MV specialist in Turin, Italy. Copies of the original documentation supplied with the sale of the machine.

The lithe looks and striking smoked paintwork were completely at odds with the conservative image that previous models had projected and the model’s performance was comparable to that of many of its rivals whilst retaining the stamina that had characterised the company’s products for the previous thirty years.

Originally a 750cc machine, this BMW R100 was rebuilt a few years ago as a ‘1950s-style’ ‘sitter’ roadgoing, racing sidecar outfit. Any eligibility for vintage and classic competition events would need to be researched by a new owner. The specification includes a 1000cc engine, leading link forks, twin front discs and 16” wire-spoke wheels. The thoughtfully detailed rebuild included an unobtrusively weighted sidecar to provide stability, with a raised suspension, increasing its ground clearance for effective road use. The vendor describes the condition of the outfit as ‘very good’. There is no current V5C offered with this lot, a new V5C will have to be applied for in new ownership.

• Original all-alloy engine and original frame

• Original registration number, buff & Green log books

• Current V5C

Norton introduced a new trials machine in 1949, typed the 500T. The new model employed a modified 16H frame with reduced rear stays and a set of special fork yokes that brought the fork legs back to the steering column, a sump shield was fitted under the crankcases and Roadholder telescopic forks were employed fitted with a 7-inch brake and scalloped hub. The model quickly gained a loyal following and continued in production until September 1954 when it was dropped from the range. Few changes in specification had been required in the model’s five-year production life, although the scalloped front hub had given way to a normal one for the 1951 season.

A successful and very popular 500cc trials model the 500T was a handsome machine, as is the example offered here. Presenting with the original allalloy engine in its original frame (correct numbers), it also possesses genuine trials fittings. Retaining its original registration number, ‘CHL 929’ is described by the vendor as in ‘good running order’ and in ‘very good’ overall condition, the machine was used on the road up until July of 2022. Accompanying the 500T to auction are some invoices and the old buff and Green log books and the current V5C.

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 race bikes, the legendary Featherbed frame eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc Dominator twin cylinder engine. By the 1960s the engine had grown to 600cc fitted into the new slimline chassis. Circa 1902, J.A.Prestwich and Company began manufacturing motorcycle engines which were used in many marques. Their motorcycle engines were associated with racing and record success and were used in speedway bikes into the 1960s.

A very unusual ‘Special, the machine offered here is powered by a JAP 750 V-twin. Described as ‘very tractable with adequate power’ it was built some 10 years ago using a Norton 4-speed gearbox to put the power down. The condition of the machine is described by the vendor as ‘good’ to ‘very good’. Unused recently, the Norton JAP was, however, on the road until October of 2019.

• On the road until last October

The BSA Road Rocket was developed from the A10 Golden Flash. It was the first ‘sports bike’ in the BSA A10 series. The A10 had a reputation for reliability but was struggling to compete against the Triumph engines and the Norton Featherbed frames. Advertised by BSA in 1956 as ‘undoubtedly the world’s greatest motorcycle’, the Road Rocket was discontinued in 1958, when it was replaced by the BSA Super Rocket.

This Road Rocket is an example of the first high performance variant of the BSA Golden Flash. Rebuilt in recent years with many new parts utilised, the machine is described by the vendor as being in ‘good running order’ and was last on the road up until October of 2022. Further description from the vendor describes the bike’s engine, cycle parts, gearbox, electrics and frame as ‘very good’ and the paint and bright work as ‘good’. The machine is offered with a V5C.

One of the rarest Sunbeam models, it debuted at the Olympia Show of 1934. It was more ‘sporty’, mechanically and in design, and had a large carb. The first Sunbeam to use a Burman gearbox, it was in the Sunbeam range for just one year, hence its rarity. The 250cc Model 16 had a high, double camshaft engine which earned its ‘hi-cam’ name. Stopping was achieved via drums both front and rear. The front suspension was a Druid fork while the rear was equipped with a rigid, spring-loaded saddle. A very rare example of the 1935 Sunbeam’s 250cc ‘high-cam’ model that was a surprisingly good performer in its day. This partly restored and rare survivor is offered with its original bulbous silencer, however, it requires a few parts to complete the build.

• Requires parts to complete

• Desirable side-valve model

• On the VMCC Register

The Stevens brothers had been in motorcycle manufacturing since the final years of the 19th century, but only in 1911 their first complete “AJS” motorcycle, a 298cc two-speed model, was marketed. For the 1912 season their first V- twin, the model D, was launched. In the 1914 Junior TT a magnificent first and second place was achieved. In the following years both the single and the big twin became very popular machines. In the 1923 range two side valve singles were offered, a Standard Touring Model B and a Standard Sporting Model B1.

A notably sprightly machine in its day, the AJS 350 side-valve is a most desirable model. This example has had some restoration work in the past, however, it still requires a piston and other various parts to complete it. The machine appears on the VMCC Register and presents as an ideal Banbury Run machine. Re-registered some years ago, it does retain its original buff log book showing the first registration as August of 1922; a new V5C has been applied for and should be available shortly, although there is no guarantee this will be in time for the auction. Worthy of closer inspection to appreciate it, however.

Rudge Whitworth Cycles was a British bicycle, bicycle saddle, motorcycle and sports car wheel manufacturer that resulted from the merger of two bicycle manufacturers in 1894, Whitworth Cycle Co. of Birmingham and Rudge Cycle Co. of Coventry. Rudge motorcycles were produced from 1911 to 1946. The firm was known for its innovations in engine and transmission design, and its racing successes. Their sales motto was “Rudge it, do not trudge it.” The company also produced the first detachable wire wheel in 1907, and was known for its knock-off wheels on sports cars; that brand continued well into the 1960s.

This Rudge 500, being offered at ‘no reserve’, is part of a deceased estate, and therefore little is known of its history. Bought by the owner in the 1980s, it was then stored in his workshop but unfortunately he never got around to restoring the bike due to numerous other ongoing projects. The engine and frame numbers suggest it is a 1933 Special with possibly a 1932 engine. The machine is offered with some spare parts, a continuation buff log book and a V5C registration document.

The roots of the Laverda Motorcycle company go back to 1873 when Pietro Laverda began producing agricultural equipment in Breganza in Italy. Like many Italian firms, they diversified into motorcycles after World War Two, manufacturing good quality, and for the time, relatively innovative bikes. By the 1960s Laverda had progressed onto bigger bikes such as the Montjuic that eventually formed the basis of the later Laverda 668 models. These bikes were fitted with Weber-Marelli fuel injection, Brembo brakes, Paioli suspension, Marchesini wheels and a trellis frame.

The 668 Ghost featured a trellis frame built around its DOHC oil/air-cooled engine. This 1997 model, showing a credible 7750 miles, has been in the same family ownership for the last few years and is presented in good original condition, even down to genuine Laverda Lafranconi silencers.

The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901. Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day making it one of the longest-running names in the two-wheeled world. In the UK, kidney-shaped grass-track circuits were sometimes used to include a right hand bend, and undulating hillsides were also used to increase the challenge for riders. The events traditionally occurred after haymaking and before harvesting season on newly-cut fields

Offered to auction, this Rudge/Royal Enfield is a competition machine that was built-up from components from both makers post WW2. The contributing machines were a Rudge Python 350cc fully-radial engine and a Royal Enfield 350cc SV donating the frame.

Ridden thereafter, it has seen little use joining the vendor’s private collection during 2016. Offered with parts manuals, a parts list and a full folder of restoration photographs and records of the work that has been carried out.

• Nicely presented Suzuki RG500

• 20km since a service, including brake work

• Current V5C with receipts for service work

The RG 500 was directly based on the series of Suzuki RG 500 Grand Prix motorcycle with almost identical features to the official two-stroke machines used by Italian world champion Franco Uncini during the 1984 season with the Gallina team. Like its GP forebearers, the road-going RG was powered by a naturally aspirated, rotary-valve inducted, twin crank square four two-stroke engine displacing some 498cc.

Offered here is a nicely presented Suzuki RG500 Japanese domestic market model. Having been purchased by the current vendor to enjoy, sadly, due to a previous accident, the vendor has now realised he cannot use the RG500 as he had wished. Benefitting from a service some 20km ago, the machine received new pads, new tyres and other sundry items. We have been advised that ‘E396 MAS’ is ‘running well’ and ready for a new owner to enjoy. There is a current V5C on file with receipts for service work accompanying at sale.

• Entered from a deceased estate

• Owned since 1978

• Step-thru version of the popular ST70

Purchased by the late owner in June 1978, this CF70 was last used in 2018 and is described as being in ‘generally good’ condition although it will no doubt require careful inspection prior to use owing to a period of storage. It is offered with a 1978 bill of sale, numerous expired MOT certificates, original fold-out brochure and owner’s manual.

A similar design to Honda’s Dax, which first saw the light of day in 1969, the Chaly was introduced in 1972 as a development of simple-to-use, small machines, that traced their roots back to the famous Z100 of 1963. Originally powered by a 50cc single overhead camshaft four-stroke, capacity was increased to 70cc in the early 1970s. Its lightweight made for spritely performance. In production until 2000, the model is renowned for its compactness, making it the ideal companion to use with a boat or motorhome.

• Rare Ducati 900 GTS square-case electric start V-twin

• Run recently and supplied with a current V5C

In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, Ducati’s chief engineer, Fabio Taglioni, designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race starting a tradition of sporty V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The 900 GTS was only produced in 1977 and ‘78 and used Ducati’s 864cc bevel drive engine fitted with the all important electric start and more pleasing styling than its predecessor the 860GT.

This 1978 GTS has been part of a small private collection for a few years. It is fitted with Lockheed Racing front brake calipers, floating disc, Akront alloy rims and comes with original looking Conti silencers stamped ‘Ducati 0755-84. Recommissioned and run recently it should make an interesting project to either get back to original or form the basis of a ‘cafe racer’ special. Supplied with a current V5C.

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 unit construction Bonneville, part of a private collection, left the factory in December 1965 and like most T120R models spent its first few years in the USA. Repatriated in around 2009 it was given an extensive restoration at the time by Misden Engineering including new main bearings, big end shells, +20 pistons, Boyer ignition, new carbs, new exhaust system, powder coated frame, wheels rebuilt with stainless spokes as well as a full cosmetic refinishing. The speedo was refurbished at the same time and reads only 629 miles at the time of consignment. Run recently and supplied with a VMCC dating letter, a few old MOTs and a current V5C.

The Norton F1 is a road-going sports motorcycle that Norton based on its RCW588 racing motorcycle. The F1 was offered in only one livery: Black with Gold decals and Grey and Gold stripes, to reflect John Player’s sponsorship of Norton’s race team. It was distinctive for using a 588cc liquid-cooled twin-rotor Wankel engine. This unit was developed from the motor in the Norton Commander.

The current and original owner of this 1990 Norton F1 has cherished it since the purchase in 1990, however, it has seen little use in more recent years. Offered with its original bill of sale, the machine is also accompanied by the tool kit, various documents, and brochures. Norton have carried out work on the machine in the past, with the receipts on file. At the time of our visit, the F1 was seen to be ‘running well’.

• Restored to a high standard

In 500cc and 650cc capacity, the T100 was undoubtedly the UK’s most popular twin. The sweeter running half litre models tended to be rather overshadowed following the introduction of the ultra successful 650cc Bonneville. During their lifespan the 500cc Speed Twin and Tiger 100 were subject to a number of mechanical updates, although it is fair to say that the later enclosure of the bike’s rear end was not Triumph’s most popular addition at the time, but seen as desirable to own now, if you can find them complete.

This 1956 Triumph T100 has been restored by the current owner, purchased in 2005 as a project, and completed a few years later. Not used since it was completed, however, it has been run. It has been restored to a high standard using many original parts where possible. An all correct numbers machine, offered accompanied by a V5C and a Triumph dating certificate.

Triumph is one of the most revered names in motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production until its eventual closure in 1983. The 3 cylinder 750cc Trident was essentially one and a half 500cc twins and proved to be the last success story for the company, with the bike going on to dominate the early years of the Formula 750 race series.

The last development of the Triumph 3 cylinder range was the ’75 T160, with BSA Rocket 3 style canted cylinders making room for an electric starter. The bike was totally restyled but unfortunately it all proved too late and the cash-strapped Meriden Co-op couldn’t produce enough bikes and against a backdrop of political and industrial turmoil the factory closed soon after. This T160 has been repatriated from the USA and has recently had a top end overhaul. Not UK registered but it comes supplied with its US Title and a NOVA.

Harley Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and has gone on to become one of the world’s most famous and longest running motorcycle manufacturers. Harley epitomise large-capacity cruisers that many have tried to copy but have never managed to match Harley’s style and prestige. The Harley-Davidson Dyna is a stripped down cruiser boasting raw custom style, big V- Twin performance and the instantly recognizable and iconic Harley-Davidson image.

This excellent condition Dyna Glide in blue and silver is fitted with a typically brutal Harley large capacity vee twin 1450cc, 88 cubic inch motor delivering 56BHP and a meaty 71.5 ft.lbs. of torque at an incredibly low 2300 RPM.

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. The Model 7 Dominator was a 500 cc 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 singlecylinder machines. Successful in its day, the bike was even used by the Japanese police force in the 1950s.

This swinging arm Model 7 Dominator has been very well restored back to its original condition. A good looking bike with its pear shaped silencers and classic Norton silver fuel tank with black and red pin stripping, it will make an ideal mount for vintage runs and rallies. Run recently, it comes supplied with current V5C.

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 its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. The OHV 350 was one of Triumph’s mainstays but production of the Tiger ended with the outbreak of World War II and never resumed after the Triumph works at Priory Street in Coventry were completely destroyed during The Blitz in 1940 by heavy German bombing.

This beautiful looking Tiger has been authentically restored to a very high standard. Not run for a while it will need recommissioning and whilst not registered on a computerised V5C, it comes together with a buff log book showing the date of first registration as being 14th November 1938 on registration number FGT 380 that should help with getting either the number recovered or an age related number issued.

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

In 1973 Yamaha recruited British trials champion Mick Andrews to help develop and promote a trials bike to compete in a market up until then dominated by the Spanish manufacturers. The TY250 launched in 1974 proved to be an immediate success winning championship events around the world. In 1984 a Monoshock version was released using Yamahas trademark cantilever rear suspension. Never registered, this TY has survived in standard condition, a rarity for a competition bike and has been run recently.

Based on the setup developed for the 1966 Daytona races, the Daytona was fitted with a new cylinder head and twin Amal Monobloc carburettors. In the head, the valve angle was reduced by two degrees and the intake valve size increased as a result of testing. Derived from Edward Turner’s original twin-cylinder design and a development of the Triumph Tiger, the Daytona sacrificed low-speed tractability for a pronounced power step at 3,500 rpm that helped it to compete with the advanced designs from Japanese manufacturers like Honda.

This 1972 Daytona was purchased by the current owner in 2005 as a restoration project, before being the subject of restoration work to a good standard. Since its completion, the machine has been used and enjoyed by the owner until recent years. Originally despatched to the Triumph Corporation in Baltimore, USA, this particular Triumph was repatriated to the UK in the early 1990s. An all correct numbers machine, there is a Triumph Dating Certificate on file.

Produced by Ducati between 1987 and 1992, when it was succeeded by the Ducati 888, the Ducati 851 was the successor to the air-cooled twovalve Ducati 750 F1. Development had lagged with the continued use of two-valve engines, but new investment funded the technological advance that Ducati desperately needed. After buying Ducati, Cagiva invested in the development of another V-twin, but with liquid cooling, and four-valve desmodromic heads.

This Ducati 851 was purchased by the second owner with just a few miles on the clock from the sort term first-time owner. It was kept and maintained by him until 2020.

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

A beautifully restored well-equipped Squirrel, offered from long term ownership, this particular machine is well-known amongst Scott enthusiasts in the club and VMCC circles. Reportedly in ‘good order’, but unused in recent years, the Squirrel will require a check over and recommissioning before use.

These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early ‘60s were second only to Honda in number of two-wheelers manufactured. In the 1970s the GT models from 125cc to 750cc proved to be ‘the last hurrah’ for the Suzuki two-stroke multi cylinder range.

The well-known Nottingham bicycle manufacturer entered the motorcycle market in 1901 with motorcycle production continuing in a sporadic fashion throughout the pioneer period. During 1920 the company commenced the manufacture of a new in-line flat twin, which they followed in 1922 with a range of single-cylinder side valve models featuring either two or threespeed gearboxes and belt or chain final drive. The new machines quickly established an enviable reputation for their reliability enhanced in 1924 by Hugh Gibson’s successful circuit of the British coast on a combination and Marjorie Cottle’s reverse circuit of the same route on a solo. Production continued until 1933 when the company ceased motorcycle production to concentrate on their pedal-powered products.

This charming 1925 Raleigh has been displayed at the Atwell-Wilson Museum in Calne. A primarily original machine, it is believed to have had just three owners from new, mainly located in the Kidderminster area, from what we can gather. Recent work has been carried out, including a magneto rebuild, and the machine is described by the vendor as ‘running well’. An ideal lightweight machine that could be used for the Banbury run, it is offered with a current V5C.

Known for their two strokes Suzuki was at the forefront of the race to develop the Wankel rotary engine, releasing the RE5 in 1975, still the world’s only mass-produced rotary-engined motorcycle. Whilst a technological masterpiece it was perhaps ahead of its time and only about 5000 were made between 1975 and 1976.

This authentically restored GT750 ‘Kettle’, as they were affectionately known - due to the ‘liquid-cooling’, has been part of a small private collection of 1970s Japanese classic motorcycles for the last few years. Reported to be in ‘good working order’ by the vendor, this GT750 is offered with a current V5C.

• Part of a private collection of 70s classics

• Authentically restored using many new parts

• In good running order supplied with a V5C

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. The legendary 400/4 was launched in 1975 to great acclaim and revolutionised medium capacity motorcycles giving riders 500cc performance in a small lightweight package with a café racer look, lower handlebars, rear-set footpegs and one of its most recognisable features, a swooping four-into-one exhaust system.

This 1977 example was restored a couple of years ago using many new parts mainly sourced from Dave Silver, including the fuel tank, seat, exhaust system, front mudguard, rear mudguard and rear shocks. Professionally repainted in Honda Red, the wheels have been rebuilt using CWC stainless steel rims and shod with a new pair of Dunlop K82 TT100s at a cost of £661. A fast appreciating classic that should be fun to ride, it is offered with a current V5C.

1958 BSA Super Rocket

• Believed to be mostly original

• A Genuine BSA Super Rocket

• Current V5C is on file

The BSA Super Rocket was a 646cc air-cooled parallel twin motorcycle produced by Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) at Small Heath, Birmingham and introduced in 1957. It was an improved sports bike member of the BSA A10 series of motorcycles, which was developed from the BSA Road Rocket. The A10 had a reputation for reliability but was struggling to compete against the Triumph engines and the Norton Featherbed frames.

The 1958 BSA Super Rocket offered, left the factory on the 17th of December of 1958 to go to Warbuton Brothers, Hazel Grove, and was registered on the 22nd of December. The BSA is mostly original with some slight upgrades, mainly an oil filter conversion, with a 12v conversation with indicators and an LED rear bulb. The upgrades that have been done, can be removed without adversely affecting the machine. It is believed that the mileage is correct, and we have been advised the engine has not been taken apart. It comes complete with its current V5C.

MOT: June 2023

• Excellent original condition V-four 750

• Stainless exhaust and new tyres last summer

• MOT until 25th of June 2023 and supplied with a V5C

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest producer in the world. Introduced in 1986 the vee four VFR750F featured gear-driven cams and has become one of Honda’s most respected models and formed the basis of the classic RC30 race replica.

This VFR750F has been part of a small private collection for a while, however, the vendor is thinning down his collection as he has not got time to ride them all. Presented in nice original condition aside from a stainless exhaust, it still has the single seat cover that has very often gone missing over the years. This bike is surely a fast appreciating future classic that will still be fun to ride. New tyres were fitted just last summer and there is an MOT until 25th of June 2023. Accompanied by 2 keys, an owners manual, a Haynes manual, some receipts, old MOTs and a current V5C.

MOT: None

• Entered from a deceased estate

• 1 owner from new and c.635 miles from new

• Barely used, having been stored since c.1995

The DR125 was produced from the late 1980s to mid 1990s and intended as a learning machine for aspiring trail riders. Displacing 124cc, it produced 12bhp at 9000 rpm giving a top speed of around 65mph. As they were imported in limited numbers it is quite a rare machine to find these days, making this low mileage, one-owner example an interesting proposition.

Purchased new by the late owner, with the intention of starting riding on trails, upon discovering the hobby was not for him this DR125 was put into dry storage around 1995. We understand it has not been used since. It is said to have a “few bumps and scratches” and “light rust here and there”. We are advised the recorded mileage is just 635. It is accompanied by a history file containing an owner’s manual, service record booklet (unstamped), original sales invoice from Hallens of Cambridge, assorted MOT certificates, sundry correspondence, two colour brochures and a 1993 model range catalogue.

• Rare in the UK, YR-1 imported from the USA

• Supplied with a NOVA certificate

• Original condition even including its tool-kit

The Yamaha Motor Company’s first motorcycle, produced in 1954, was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam, a copy of the German-made DKW RT125, but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. The YR-1 350 of the late sixties and the arrival of the RD range in the early seventies, cemented Yamaha’s reputation for highperformance two-strokes and formed the basis of their TR and TD overthe-counter race bikes.

This matching numbers YR-1 came in from the USA about 3 years ago and is supplied with a NOVA certificate. The vendor had it running briefly at the time of import but it has since been stored away as a future project. It appears to be in a very original condition, even down to still having its toolkit and fuel dipstick in place. A rare bike in the UK, the YR-1 had levels of performance that embarrassed many larger-capacity bikes.

• Extensive restoration keeping a good degree of originality

• A current V5C and MOT (until October 2023) on file

This LC was registered new in 1984, not a matching numbers bike but both frame and engine numbers begin with ‘4L0’ so looks to be a UK market RD350LC that’s had an engine swap at some time. The machine was treated to a thorough restoration between 2011/15, with all items repaired or renewed as required. The bores are standard and the ports have never seen a grinder. The crank was rebuilt by PJ Motorcycles, new Mitaka pistons kits fitted, engine and gearbox bearings/seals replaced, new clutch plates and oil pump checked. The frame was zinc phosphated and powdercoated, the fuel tank was repaired and re- painted by Metal Magic and the fork stanchions rechromed by A.M.Philpot. The bike has the correct exhausts, centre stand, toolbox, toolkit, full mudguards and airbox. The only mods are stainless brake hoses, Hagon fork springs and Hagon rear shock. Supplied with a V5C and MOT until the October 2023, it has not covered many miles since the rebuild and the owner reports it runs well.

• One enthusiast owner from new TR7T Tiger Trail

• Only 155 made by the Triumph factory in the early 1980s

• Supplied with original owner’s handbook and a V5C

After a failed merger with Norton Villiers, Triumph twins were made by the workers co-operative in Meridan and one of the last new models to be launched before its eventual demise was the Tiger Trail.

According to the Triumph Owner’s Club, the first TR7T was produced on the 5th May 1981 and a total of 146 were built up to the 3rd of December with an additional 9 being built in 1982 . Looking at the frame number , it suggests that this is one of the early production models assembled in May 1981 with the factory numbering system starting at EDA 30001 that month. Its actual date of first registration is 23rd of February, 1984, so presumably, it sat in a dealer’s showroom for a while before being sold. From a deceased estate, it has only had one enthusiast owner from new and is supplied with an original owner’s handbook and a V5 registration document. Not run for a while, it will need recommissioning before use.

The Yamaha Motor Co was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German-made DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. The XS-1 650cc twin was first seen in 1968 matching the performance of the British bikes of the era but in a more reliable, and oil-tight way. This XS650 Custom, being offered at ‘no reserve’, was part of a large franchised dealers stock who upon closure took everything home and mothballed them in his barn. Stood for the last 20+ years, it could form the basis of an interesting custom or cafe racer special and comes supplied with a current V5C.

• Previously laid up for 45 years

• Purchased by the owner from his neighbour

• Little used since its extensive recommissioning Model-typed the Big 4, the side valve machine displaced 633cc and was the largest capacity post-war Norton single from the 1947 model season. Generally similar to its slightly smaller sibling, the 16H, with which it shared its pre-war origins, it was intended for use primarily as a sidecar tug. Norton’s well-proven ‘upright’ gearbox with foot operation was employed, providing a positive gearchange and a single sprung saddle was fitted. The machine’s stroke was reduced to 113mm for the 1949 season resulting in a capacity of 597cc and the ‘laid down’ gearbox was fitted for the 1950 season. 1951 saw the introduction of a new 3.5 gallon fuel tank and a revised oil tank together with an alloy front brake plate and dual-seat was fitted for the 1953 season.

This Norton Big 4 was laid up in the neighbour’s garage for 45 years before it was purchased by the current owner. It was then fully recommissioned before placing back on the road around three years ago. Not used much since that time, due to other commitments, we have been advised that the machine is ‘running’. It comes complete with a current V5C and a Norton Owner’s Club Dating Certificate.

• Original bars and some spares included

Following their normal practice of introducing a sports variant of an existing touring model, Triumph announced the unit construction T100A Tiger as a sporting companion to the 5TA for the 1960 model season . In its initial form the model featured the then characteristic ‘bathtub’ rear enclosure, however, this was dropped in favour of a ‘partial enclosure’ with the introduction of the T100 SS during 1962, and was finally removed from the range of motorcycles completely in 1964.

The Triumph T100 SS on offer was restored in the 1980s by the previous owner. The current vendor purchased the Triumph some three years ago but has not used it much since, due to other commitments. We have been advised the machine ‘runs well’ and is offered to auction along with the original handlebars, some extra side panels and a front mudguard. The current V5C is on file.

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 XLR250 Baja was made especially for the Japanese domestic market where there is a lot of interest in the classic American desert races. Based on the XR250 Enduro bike, it sports the same RFVC radial four-valve head and a similar chassis but with better lighting. This rare bike was imported into the UK a couple of years ago and has been used by the vendor for some trail riding last summer. It comes supplied with an MOT until August 30th 2023 and a current V5C.

• The sports GT version of Royal Enfield’s 250cc 4-stroke single

• A bike that gave many motorcyclists their first taste of two wheels

• Recently re-united with its original number and supplied with a V5C

The basic 250cc single-cylinder Crusader was a very popular bike in its day and doubtless sparked the interest of many a future motorcyclist. The more sporty Continental GT was launched in November 1964 in a blaze of publicity with the company organizing a 24 hour ride from John O’Groats to Land’s End. As part of the test Geoff Duke completed a few laps at Oulton Park and John Cooper eight laps Silverstone, the best at a very impressive 73mph average. Including stopping off at the race tracks, the whole trip took just 22 hours and 20 minutes.

This 1966 model, the fastest British 250 in its day, was previously in a private collection on the Isle of Man and has recently been reunited with its original UK registration number. It comes supplied with a current V5C.

• Only made for a couple of years in the early 1910s

• Over 110 years old with its original Norfolk registration number

• Duplicate buff log book issued in 1960 and V5C present

This fascinating project was inherited by its current owner from a deceased estate in 2020 and looks to have been stripped down many years ago. Unfortunately not much is known of its history but the registration number was issued in Norfolk and it appears to have spent all of its life in the region. It comes supplied with a duplicate/continuation buff log book issued in 1960 that states its date of first registration being 01-01-1921, this seems to be a regular default date for bikes sold before then.

Looking at research online it appears to be circa 1911/1912, the log book also confusingly suggests it is a 350cc, but this is more likely a misinterpretation of 3 1/2 HP. In the early part of the last century vehicles were very often identified by their power output as opposed to capacity. As well as the buff log book, the bike comes supplied with a current V5C.

• Lots of money spent on engine

• Current V5C on file

The TR6 Trophy is a motorcycle that was made by Triumph, in Meriden, from 1956 to 1973, when it was replaced by the five-speed 750cc Triumph Tiger TR7V. During this time, it was a successful model, particularly in the US. The competition variant, popularly known as the “desert sled”, won numerous competitions throughout the late 1950s and 1960s. Steve McQueen’s fondness for the model is well known, as is his participation in the 1964 ISDT on a TR6 Trophy. Before using the Trophy, UK police forces successfully deployed Speed Twin and Thunderbird models. The Trophy version, codenamed the TR6P, carried the model name “Saint” (Stop Anything In No Time).

The 1971 Triumph TR6P has been restored to a high standard by the current owner at great expense. The engine was completely stripped by SRM and was subject to a full rebuild, it benefits from a new clutch, 2-speed oil pump, new carburetor, and new Devon rims with spokes and with quickrelease wheel. So much has been done the list goes on. The machine has seen very little use since its completion. It comes with a current V5C, and some general checks before placing back on the road.

• Interesting project from a deceased estate

• Purchased in the 1980s by the late owner

• Supplied with some spares and a V5C

The Rudge name was made famous by Graham Walker’s victory in the 1928 Ulster Grand Prix, the first time a road race had been won at an average speed of over 80mph. In the same year Ernie Nott set a new twohour world record at over 100 mph and went on to set further records in 1929. The death of Rudge- Whitworth principal and driving force J.V. Pugh and a unsucessful diversification into autocycles and other badly managed ventures caused the demise of the Rudge concern in 1940.

This Rudge Ulster, being offered at ‘no reserve’, is part of a deceased estate, and therefore little is known of its history. Bought by the owner in the 1980s, it was then stored in his workshop but unfortunately, he never got around to restoring the bike. The engine and frame numbers suggest its a 1934 Ulster with a bronze head. The machine is offered with a spare l/h cover and a V5C registration document.

The GB500TT was a Japanese domestic market model designed to re-create the classic British single, like the BSA Gold Star, but with modern day reliability, disc front brake, 12v lighting and most importantly an electric starter.

This 1989 GB500TT in Green, displays just 26,389 miles on the speedo and is part of a deceased estate. The bike is fitted with a 1 into 2 exhaust system with stainless steel reverse cone silencers Hagon rear shocks and a sports flyscreen. The ideal combination of Japanese reliability and modern-day braking and lighting with the character of a 1950s/60s big British single.

A Reserve once placed by the Seller shall not be changed without the consent of the Auctioneer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Conditions mainly concerning the Buyer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

General Conditions

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

21.
