The Hans Schifferle Collection 1952 Alpino 125ccRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. S1449Engine no. 125/03492Having manufactured motorcycles from 1925 to 1929, Pietro Trespidi returned to the business of two-wheeled transport in 1944 with a highly successful cyclemotor. He set up a new factory at Stradella in Lombardy, where his company Motobici Srl commenced production of Alpino motorcycles, offering a range of ultra-lightweight two-strokes ranging from 48cc mopeds to a 98cc motorcycle. In 1951 the company introduced its first 125cc motorcycle, derived from the existing 98cc model, extending the range with two new versions of the 125 for 1952. That same year Alpino bagged several world speed records in the 50cc and 75cc classes using an egg-shaped streamliner. Scooters were added to Alpino's line-up in the early 1950s and a couple of years later the company introduced its largest four-stroke model in the popular 175cc class. Production of Alpino motorcycles ceased in 1962, Motobici's main export market in Argentina having collapsed. This extremely rare example of one of Italy's lesser known marques was purchased circa 2013 in its current state and is believed to be an earlier restoration (its mechanical condition is unknown). Hans planned to restore it but, sadly, time did not allow. Currently displaying a total of 9,674 kilometres on the odometer, the machine is offered with a German Fahrzeugschein; expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; copy Alpino Instruction Manual; and some transfers.

Property of a deceased's estate 1966 Triumph 349cc Tiger 90Registration no. FER 97DFrame no. T90 H46463Engine no. T90 H46463Triumph re-entered the 350cc class in 1957 with the introduction of the Twenty One, its first unitary construction model, and quickly followed up with a '500' version, the 5TA Speed Twin. The latter was first to undergo the 'sports' treatment in the form of the Tiger 100SS, the equivalent '350' not appearing for another five years. Launched in October 1962, the Tiger 90 featured a tuned engine equipped with a revised ignition system that used points instead of the previous distributor. The 'baby' Tiger looked smart and went well too, its top speed under favourable conditions being a genuine 90mph. It was also impressively economical.Apparently, an older restoration, this Tiger 90 was purchased in July 2020 and currently displays a total of 3,085 miles on the odometer. Sadly, the owner never got the chance to ride the Tiger before he passed away in August 2020, since when it has been dry stored. Last taxed in October 2014, following a period of inactivity and having not been used since acquisition, its mechanical condition is not known and thus is sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with a V5C document.

1930 New Hudson 346cc OHVRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. L17125Engine no. LS5326The Birmingham firm of New Hudson started out as a bicycle manufacturer. Their first powered machine of 1903 used a clip-on Minerva engine, and this was followed by the first proper motorcycle in 1910. For 1931 New Hudson announced a new range, but the onset of economic depression did little to encourage sales and in 1933 the company ceased to build motorcycles. This handsome overhead-valve twin-port New Hudson was purchased at a UK auction in 2014 and since then has been kept on display inside the owner's house. At time of purchase the machine was said to have been fully restored approximately five years previously by a retired engineer. However, the motorcycle's mechanical condition is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this Lot, which will require re-commissioning before returning to the road.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate 1937 BSA 248cc B22 Empire StarRegistration no. HV 7914Frame no. none visibleEngine no. HB22.1362.During the 1930s BSA concentrated on producing a range of dependable, well-made, competitively priced motorcycles. The firm's single-cylinder range was redesigned by Val Page for 1937, the engines taking on many of the characteristics they would retain in the post-war era, most notably dry-sump lubrication, rear-mounted magneto and that distinctively shaped timing cover. There were three new offerings in the 250 class: the sidevalve B20 and a pair of overhead-valve models – B20 and B22 - the latter designation being adopted for the top-of-the-range Empire Star. This B22 Empire Star was purchased part restored in February 1975. Incomplete, the machine is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying documentation consists of an old-style continuation logbook and an old-style V5.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate 1999 Honda VFR800FIRegistration no. V668 EFRFrame no. JH2RC46A2XM105834Engine no. to be advisedStill in the range today as the VFR800F, Honda's best-selling, sports-touring all-rounder debuted way back in 1986 as the VFR750F. Regarded as an out-and-out sports bike at that time, the latter was an immensely important introduction for Honda, which was trying to shake off a reputation for unreliability gained by a succession of under-developed models in the early 1980s. The fact that the VFR is still around over 30 years later is a measure of how well they succeeded. In essence the VFR has changed little over time, gaining fuel injection and an increase in engine capacity to 782cc in 1998, plus VTEC two-stage valve operation in 2002, which was followed by linked, anti-lock brakes. There have, of course, been numerous styling changes along the way, plus a switch from conventional to under-seat exhausts, but the original's single-sided swinging arm and aluminium alloy beam frame remain part of this enduring, right-first-time package. Used frequently by the late owner, this VFR800FI has been dry-stored since August 2020 when he passed away. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent and thus is sold strictly as viewed. It is offered with a history file, the contents of which include sundry bills; expired MoTs; V5C documents; and an owner's manual.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate 1927 AJS 349cc Model H6 'Big Port'Registration no. RY 660Frame no. 1876 (see text)Engine no. H100215After victory in the 1920 Junior TT, AJS's new overhead-valve 350 racer scored a memorable double the following year, Tom Sheard winning the Junior race and Howard Davies the Senior - the first time such a feat had been achieved on a '350'. The production version made its debut in November 1922, delighting clubmen everywhere with its 'racer on the road' performance. A right-first-time design destined to achieve countless successes in the hands of privateers, the overhead-valve '350' AJS - latterly known as the 'Big Port' - changed only in detail before being superseded by a much-revised M6 model for 1929. Offered here is an example of the H6 'Big Port' sports roadster, which was newly introduced for 1927 together with the H7 racer. The machine is nicely presented and would respond well to detailing; the engine turns over with compression, but apart from that its mechanical condition is not known. Offered for re-commissioning and sold strictly as viewed, this example of one of the Vintage era's most sought-after motorcycles comes with old/current V5C documents and some expired MoTs. It should be noted that the frame number has been re-stamped and does not correspond with the correct AJS factory sequence.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate 1973 Honda CB450 K5Registration no. CMN 450K (Isle of Man)Frame no. CB450 5006487Engine no. CB450E 5006495The Honda CB450's arrival in 1965 dispelled any lingering doubts about Japan's intention to compete in all sectors of the market. With a top speed of over 100mph and a standing quarter-mile time in the 14-second bracket, the refined CB450 sounded the death knell, not just for the traditional British '500', but for the entire UK motorcycle industry.This Honda CB450 was imported from the USA and first registered in the UK on 10th April 2014. The machine had only one keeper in the UK before being purchased by its late owner in February 2016 and exported to the Isle of Man. The CB has seen little use since purchase. Its three UK MoT certificates are on file and the Honda also comes with copies of its Ohio Certificate of Title; invoices for shipping services and spare parts; and an Isle of Man Vehicle Registration Certificate.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1956 Ariel 998cc Square FourRegistration no. 101 AWLFrame no. GM 455Engine no. ML 500The vendor has owned this Square Four on three occasions! He first bought '101 AWL' in 2000 following its restoration, which is believed to have been finished around 1998. He sold the Ariel in 2007, regretted it immediately and bought it back in 2010, only for a change of circumstances to enforce its sale again in 2011. Invoking 'first refusal' when the bike was next sold, he bought it back again in 2018 with only 300 more miles on the odometer. The current odometer reading is 1,932 miles, which is the distance covered since the 1999 restoration. The vendor advises us that engine runs cool, uses no oil, starts easily and makes all the right noises. The gearbox (for a Burman) is said to be very nice; the clutch does not slip or drag; and the Squariel is described as a pleasure to ride. Cosmetically, this older restoration has the usual small chips, dings, etc but nevertheless presents very nicely. The only work required recently concerned the oil pump, the notoriously fragile Mazac-bodied unit being replaced with a billet one from Hepolite. The tyres too are fresh. Ridden regularly, mainly on local rides, this beautiful Square Four comes with a substantial history file containing sundry bills, an old-style buff logbook, V5C document, etc.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ex-Joan Mir, Leopard Racing 2016 KTM 250cc Moto3 Grand Prix Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredEngine no. R193•Campaigned in the Moto3 World Championship by Leopard Racing•5th overall in 2016•Restored by Phil Morris in 2020Usually the class that provides the closest racing at Grand Prix level, Moto3 was introduced in 2012, replacing the 125cc category, and was intended for younger competitors aiming to be the next generation of MotoGP stars. The Moto3 category is for single-cylinder 250cc four-stroke engines with a maximum bore of 81mm, while the minimum combined weight of the motorcycle and rider is 148kg (326lb). The minimum age for the Moto3 class normally is 16. Unlike Moto2, which is restricted to a 'control' engine, Moto3 is a true prototype class, with representation in 2016 from Honda, KTM, and Mahindra/Peugeot. Teams could choose either the manufacturer's chassis or one from a variety of independent frame-makers including Kalex, Suter, and FTR. The Moto3 KTM offered here was campaigned by Leopard Racing during the 2016 World Championship season and ridden by Joan Mir. Leopard Racing first entered the Moto3 class in 2015 and won the world title that same year with the British rider Danny Kent. Leopard switched from Honda to KTM for 2016 and fielded a team of three riders: Fabio Quartararo, Andrea Locatelli, and Joan Mir. Leopard's three alumni have certainly done well for themselves: Mir is the reigning MotoGP World Champion; Quartararo is leading the 2021 MotoGP World Championship; and Locatelli is currently 4th in the World Superbike standings. 2016 would be a more difficult year for Leopard Racing, Mir's 5th place overall in the World Championship and 'Rookie-of-the-Year' award being the standout achievements. Leopard Racing having switched back to Honda for 2017, Mir dominated the season with ten wins, bringing the team its second World Championship in three years. Mir moved on to Moto2 in 2018 and enjoyed what, by his standards, must have been a somewhat disappointing season, ending up 5th in the championship at the season's end. His signing for the Suzuki factory MotoGP squad surprised some. Confounding the doubters, Mir finished 12th overall in his debut year and in 2020 brought the Japanese manufacturer its first World Championship of the modern MotoGP era. This KTM Moto3 bike was purchased from Leopard Racing by Mark Keen and sold on to Henry Van der Lagemaat, from whom it was purchased by Phil Morris. The machine had been upgraded with 2019 forks, suspension, airbox and bodywork, but Phil chose to reinstate the 2016 airbox and bodywork when the restored the KTM in 2020, which is when it last ran. The wiring loom is to aircraft standard throughout and, most importantly, the machine retains its correct Moto3 2D dashboard and GPS. The machine comes with a quantity of stickers; a 2016 results printout; and a KTM data sheet. A quantity of related spares, including wheels, tyres, a spare engine and exhausts, will be offered as part of our online auction in December (details to be announced).Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Believed Rickman / Triumph 490cc Daytona ProjectRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. R001350Engine no. T100R H55952This incomplete machine was purchased as a basic project, the vendor being informed by the seller that he believed the frame to be a Rickman. The owner found that the engine mountings were to suit a unit Triumph motor, and he subsequently purchased a Daytona engine to go into it. Alloy oil and petrol tanks are fitted. He lifted the cylinder head and saw nothing amiss, so went no further into the motor, which needed timing gears and a clutch, both of which he found. The rear wheel is a Rickman type, and the front a Ducati type, with a newly-cast brakeplate. The vendor intended to use the machine for sprints and hillclimbs, but is now retired from competition, rendering it surplus to requirements. Prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to the suitability and compatibility of its component parts. It will require further work or restoration, and safety checks prior to any use. There is no documentation with this lot, which includes some spares.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1958 Beta 175Registration no. not registeredFrame no. 11035Engine no. 11035Best known for its hugely successful trials and enduro models, the Italian firm that would become Beta was founded in Via Bellariva in 1904 by Giuseppe Bianchi and began life making high-quality bicycles. The company later moved to Firenze (Florence). It was only after WW2 that the company adopted the 'Beta' name, which was derived from the initials of proprietors Enzo Bianchi and Arrigo Tosi. In 1948 the firm commenced making clip-on motors for attachment to bicycles before producing its first proper motorcycle in 1950. Proprietary engines were used at first before Beta progressed to making its own power units. Long-distance races on public roads were immensely popular in Italy at this time and Beta's products did well in events such as the Milan-Taranto and Moto Giro d'Italia. This 175cc Beta was purchased by Hans Schifferle circa 2003. It has covered a mere 282 kilometres since restoration and is presented in truly beautiful condition, boasting lovely paintwork and an after-market silencer. The machine is offered with a German Fahrzeugschein; an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; and a spare gasket.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1987 Harley-Davidson 1,637cc Heritage Softail CustomRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 1HD1BJL13HY010882Engine no. DKM 231068•Specially built in Germany for Hans Schifferle•Completed in 2000•2,395 kilometres since completion•Registered as manufactured in 1987An important event in the lengthy development of Harley's perennial v-twin occurred in 1984 with the introduction of the new all-alloy Evolution engine together with a diaphragm clutch, air-assisted shock absorbers, and toothed-belt final drive. By this time Harley-Davidson had freed itself from the American Machine & Foundry group, and one of the more significant developments of the immediately post-AMF era was the introduction in '84 of the traditionally styled Softail. The Softail featured a cleverly disguised rear end looking like that of a pre-war 'rigid'-framed Harley but was, in fact, sprung, as its name suggests, with the two dampers mounted beneath the frame. Completing the 'vintage' retro look was a girder-type front fork with bottom link and centre spring. This was the look the die-hard Harley traditionalists had been waiting for, and the Springer Softail and its derivatives would prove an enduring success.Testing a Heritage Softail in 1987, Bike magazine's editor Roger Willis was amazed at the effect the Harley had on people, attracting admiring glances wherever it went. He was even more surprised to discover that it actually worked. 'As a posing tool, the Heritage turned out to be utterly wonderful, but I still expected it to be utterly useless as a functional motorcycle. It was therefore a pleasant surprise to find that the fun extended beyond outrageous image projection.'If the standard offering could inspire such a reception, imagine the reaction when you turn up on something like this extensively customised Heritage Softail, which was built for Hans by a Munich based Harley-Davidson dealer at a cost of over €80,000. It features a Revtech engine incorporating S&S components and a 1987 frame exempting it from Germany's noise regulations. Other notable features include Axtel cylinder barrels; Lockhart oil cooler; Wiwo/Akront billet wheels; Wiwo swingarm; and plentiful chrome throughout. Completed and registered in 2000 (as manufactured in 1987), the machine has covered only 2,395 kilometres since completion and is presented in commensurately good condition. Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugschein and an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence.

Property of a deceased's estate 1961 BSA 499cc Gold StarRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. CB31 6242 (see text)Engine no. DBD.34.GS.6323Possibly the most successful production racing motorcycle ever, the BSA Gold Star formed the mainstay of Clubman's racing in the 1950s. In fact, it was the model's domination of the Clubman's TT which led to the event being dropped after Gold Star rider Bernard Codd's 1956 Senior/Junior double victory. The ultimate 500 Gold Star, the DBD, appeared in 1956 when the famous RRT2 gearbox and 190mm front brake became standard equipment. From then on BSA's much-loved sporting single changed little until its demise in 1963. This Gold Star was bought in July 1974 and last taxed in September 1976. The machine is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed (the engine does not turn). It should be noted that the frame number stamping is not correct and that it has the standard gearbox.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1954 Francis-Barnett 125cc Kestrel ProjectRegistration no. LJF 669Frame no.

First introduced in the autumn of 1953, the Kestrel used the 125cc Villiers 13D engine, which was housed in a plunger-suspended frame with telescopic front fork. This un-restored Kestrel has belonged to the vendor's family since 1974. The Excelsior was used a little off-road in the late 1970s, since when it has formed part of a private museum collection. The machine has not been run but the engine turns over. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, it comes with an old-style V5 document and an old-style buff logbook.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A c.1974 NVT 'Cosworth' Prototype EngineThe experimental engine offered here appears to be a test-bed for Cosworth's DOHC four-valves-per-cylinder technology applied to a water-cooled twin-cylinder engine with separate gearbox; as such, it might have been conceived as an update for the Commando engine that would have been cheaper than tooling up for the all-new Cosworth-designed Challenge. This engine and the NVT prototype motorcycle in this auction were purchased at NVT's liquidation sale by Bob Joiner and Cyril Chell respectively. The vendor bought both the motorcycle and engine from Messrs Joiner and Chell, and the engine has been on static display ever since. We are advised by the vendor that he has had the engine apart to check components and that they are all present. The engine's mechanical condition is not known. There is no engine number.

Property of a deceased's estate 1960 Royal Enfield 693cc ConstellationRegistration no. RHM 526Frame no. 8583Engine no. QC20088Like BSA and Triumph, Royal Enfield went on to enlarge its 500cc twin, eclipsing its rivals with the 700cc Meteor, Britain's largest vertical twin when introduced for 1953. Extensive revisions to the engine and the adoption of a new frame (shared by the Bullet singles) ushered in the Super Meteor version in the autumn of 1955. While the Super Meteor was a fine performer, Enfield's next development - the Constellation - was outstanding. Based on its immediate predecessor, the new sports roadster featured a 51bhp engine, a revised frame, and a handsome 4.25-gallon fuel tank. Supplied new by Gander & Gray and purchased in the 1970s, this apparently complete example of one of Britain's rarer parallel twins is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. The machine comes with an old-style continuation logbook and an old V5.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate 2010 KTM 990 AdventureRegistration no. DK60 DNFFrame no. VBKVA7400AM966458Engine no. to be advisedIn little more than two decades, KTM has gone from being a niche maker of highly successful moto-cross and enduro machines to Europe's largest motorcycle manufacturer. Perhaps not surprisingly given its off-road heritage, the Austrian brand first made an impact in the 'Big Trailie' or 'Adventure' market, commencing with single-cylinder models in the early/mid-1990s before introducing its first twin-cylinder model, the 950 Adventure, in 2003. Powered by a 942cc water-cooled 8-valve 75-degree v-twin, the 950 Adventure boasted sharp, eye-catching styling and an off-road capability superior to that of the market-leading BMW R1200GS. Its successor, the broadly similar 990 Adventure, introduced in 2006, took its more powerful (105bhp claimed) 999cc fuel-injected engine from the crazy 990 Super Duke 'Hyper Naked'. ABS was standard. Used often and serviced regularly since its acquisition in 2013 by its late (second) owner, this 990 Adventure has been dry-stored since August 2020 when the deceased passed away. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Noteworthy features include metallic paintwork, a Touratech sports seat, and Akrapovic silencers, and the machine also comes with Hepco & Becker KTM side cases. The Adventure also comes with its original KTM wallet/case containing the owner's manual; service booklet; expired MoTs and tax discs; current V5C document, etc.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ex-Jim Moodie 2000 Yamaha 599cc R6 V&M Supersport Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. *JYARJ031000001140*Engine no. (begins) *J502E-030•Tuned by V&M Racing•Used to win the 2000 British Supersport Championship•Authenticated by V&M's Jack ValentineYamaha's R6 has been a top-flight contender in the 600cc Supersport category at both national and international level since its introduction in 1999. Renowned British tuning firm V&M Racing (now Valmoto) have been associated with the R6 from its earliest days. The firm was founded in 1982 by Jack Valentine and Steve Mellor, and in its early years concentrated on furthering Jack's highly successful drag racing career (ten national and three European championships in seven years). In 1990 the firm changed tack and began supplying tuned engines to factory supported race teams and others. It became a fully-fledged racing team in 1994, and that same year supplied the engines for the top four machines in the British Supersport Championship. Competing on both short circuits and public roads for the next three years, V&M switched exclusively to the latter for 1999 before returning to the British Supersport Championship in 2000. At the end of the season V&M's rider Jim Moodie was crowned champion. Moodie had started the season as a works rider for Honda UK, riding a CBR600 in Supersport and a Fireblade in BSB, and had already scored points on the former. Speaking to MCN in 2016, Jim said this: 'Honda wanted me to ride the Fireblade, but I didn't want to because it wasn't competitive, so I had to leave. I'd been a professional rider since 1993 and I was earning good money, so I went from that to racing for free, riding an R6 for Jack Valentine. I led most of the Brands World Supersport race on Jack's bike, which was brilliant because it reminded me why I went racing: I was doing it for no money, but just for my own passion. At the end of the year I won the 600 title and that was the biggest satisfaction I ever had.'At the 2003 Isle of Man TT, Moodie was caught up in the accident that claimed the life of David Jefferies and was seriously injured. Another crash a few months later led him to retire from racing, and he now runs a successful motorhome business. In total, Jim won three British championships and eight IoM TTs between 1993 and 2002. Jack Valentine has (verbally) confirmed to Phil Morris that this R6 is Jim Moodie's 2000 British Supersport Championship-winning machineFootnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

2018 Aprilia RS125 Superteen Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. ZD4PY000X7S003823Engine no. 8172528Aprilia's relatively recent rise to prominence as a motorcycle manufacturer has been aided in no small measure by successes gained on the racetrack, particularly in Grands Prix where Max Biaggi's three consecutive 250cc-class World Championships between 1994-1996 confirmed the Italian firm's ability to compete at the highest level. Further down motorcycle sport's pecking order, the Aprilia RS125 Superteen Challenge launched the careers of many future stars including Casey Stoner, Cal Crutchlow, and Bradley Smith, all of whom went on to compete in MotoGP. Phil Morris bought this RS125 for Caiden Wilkinson - number '59' - to ride in Superteen races at Thundersport Series events in 2019. At the end of the season Caiden moved on to the '600' class. Notable features include a close-ratio gearbox and the following 'kit' parts: piston; cylinder barrel and head; and an Arrow exhaust. Phil advises us that the engine has been refreshed and the machine restored. An ideal entry-level purchase for the younger rider.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

PC16E-2100208A factory 'café racer' introduced in 1986, the GB500TT looked very British, boasting coachlined paintwork; clip-on handlebars; rear-set footrests; chromed headlamp shell; matching speedometer and rev counter; and alloy-rimmed, wire-spoked wheels. It was a model that struck a chord with mature riders who hankered after the past but disliked the associated oil leaks, dodgy electrics, and general unreliability. Representing a rare opportunity to acquire one of these collectible Hondas, the US model offered here is one of the best we have seen. Purchased in 2000, it has been expertly modified by Roy, who has swapped over the gearchange/rear brake to the 'British' positions. The machine comes with its original silver-painted fuel tank and other original components. Accompanying paperwork includes an old US title; two bills of sale; and old/current V5/V5C documents.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1957 Panther 598cc Model 100Registration no. 4811 UFrame no. 26184Engine no. 58MS029BBy 1923, the first bikes named Panther, rather than P&M, appeared as sports machines with a reputation for a decent turn of speed, and reliability to boot. Throughout the twenties the company thrived, although the lightweight end of the range, with Villiers engines, proved to be less popular than the larger models, and were eventually dropped. In the early 1930s the Red Panthers gave way to the Redwings and the ubiquitous big-finned sloper engine, so familiar in post-WWII years. During World War II, Phelon and Moore turned their attention to making parts for some of the aircraft manufacturers involved in War production. Post-War, the Panther range included the 250 and 350 models, and eventually were added to, once again, by Villiers-engined models, but the mainstay of the line-up remained the big sloper Model 100, and from 1958 onward, the larger capacity 650cc Model 120. The deceased owner acquired 4811 U in running order in approximately 1995, and used the machine regularly every year thereafter, until two years ago. It was maintained as required throughout that period and saw use in tandem with his other machines. It has been improved by the addition of indicators, for use in modern traffic, although one of the front ones has been damaged at some time. Standing for the last two years, the Panther will require re-commissioning and safety checks prior to returning to the road. It is presently on SORN. Documentation includes a current V5C, an older-type V5C, an old V5, a quantity of old tax discs, and miscellaneous papers.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ex-Michael Rutter, Ian Duffus 1999 Yamaha 998cc 'R71' V&M Superbike Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. *JYARN04 1000002252*Engine no. *N503E-015099*•Tuned by V&M Racing•North West 200 winner with Michael Rutter in 2000•Raced by Ian Duffus at the Macau GP in 1999Renowned British tuning firm V&M Racing (now Valmoto) have been associated with the Yamaha from its earliest days. The firm was founded in 1982 by Jack Valentine and Steve Mellor, and in its early years concentrated on furthering Jack's highly successful drag racing career (ten national and three European championships in seven years). In 1990 the firm changed tack and began supplying tuned engines to factory supported race teams and others. It became a fully-fledged racing team in 1994.The machine offered here was built by V&M for its roads campaign. Yamaha's radical R1 had established itself as the Superbike top dog on its arrival in 1998, instantly making the opposition look bloated and slow. At the same time, Yamaha abandoned the 750cc road-bike category while simultaneously introducing a limited edition 750cc homologation special for the World Superbike Championship: the R7. The R7 was built with dimensions and geometry similar to those of Yamaha's YZR500 Grand Prix racer and is known as one of the best handling motorcycles ever made. Ever since then, enthusiasts have sought to combine the grunt of the 1,000cc R1 with agility of the R7, some even going as far as to shoehorn the R1 motor into the R7 frame to create the so-called 'R71'. However, that is far from the only interpretation of the R71 concept, some being R1s wearing R7 bodywork. In the UK, with Yamaha's approval, QB Carbon created the limited edition R71 SPS, which incorporated an R7 rear sub-frame and tail. Jack Valentine's take on the R71 is similar, featuring an R7 fuel tank and a special rear sub-frame to support the R7-type tail. Other notable features include 'kit' cams, pistons and gearbox; gas-flowed cylinder head; AP Racing front master cylinder; Öhlins forks; and Brembo brake callipers. This machine was raced with some success in road races by Michael Rutter and Ian Duffus, arguably its finest achievement being Rutter's wins in the Superbike race and the main event at the North West 200 in 2000, beating team-mate David Jefferies into 2nd place on both occasions. It had previously been ridden by Ian Duffus, finishing 3rd in the Superbike class at the North West 200 and 6th at the Macau Grand Prix in 1999. Signed by Jack Valentine and Steve Mellor, the machine comes with a file consisting mainly of photographs.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Vincent soon offered a complete machine, which featured a lady's-type open frame manufactured for them by Sun. The Firefly outlasted its more famous v-twin brethren, remaining in production until 1958, and must represent by far the cheapest route to Vincent ownership. Purchased in March 1978, this seemingly complete Firefly is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed (the engine does not turn over). Despite displaying the VRN 'WKR 984' the frame number does not match the HPI database and is therefore offered without documents and a valid claim to the VRN.

1929 James 3½hp SportRegistration no. MW 5284Frame no. DP2152Engine no. 5T2394Like so many famous and not so famous motorcycle firms, that founded by Harry James in 1880 started out as a bicycle manufacturer. Based in Birmingham, the James Cycle Company built its first motorcycle, a Minerva-powered machine, in 1902. The first model to be powered by James's own engine followed in 1908, with two-stroke, sidevalve, overhead-valve, single-cylinder and twin-cylinder models featuring in the range before the end of the 1920s. From the mid-1930s onwards James began concentrating on the lightweight two-strokes for which it is best remembered but before then the top-of-the-range 3½hp (499cc) v-twin was being built in sidevalve and overhead-valve forms, and there was even a speedway version of the latter. This twin-cylinder James was bought by the current owner in 1988 at an auction after being found in a shed in Reading. The bike was complete, and after re-commissioning and rewinding the magneto was found to run quite well. In 1929 the James cost £56 and came with a hand-change three-speed gearbox. Lubrication is total loss via a Pilgrim pump with an additional plunger pump in the fuel tank. Unregistered, the James was ridden only on private roads. In 2017, thanks to the VMCC's assistance, the original registration number was retrieved. The machine was last run on the road just before lockdown, and in the garage a couple of months ago. Offered with a V5C document.

BD3B 25075Developed from the pre-war DKW RT125 and announced in 1948, the Bantam became a top-seller for BSA, in excess of half a million leaving the Birmingham factory before production ceased in 1971. Originally of 123cc, the engine grew first to 148cc - on the D3 Bantam Major, introduced for 1954 - and then to 172cc. Plunger rear suspension became an option in 1950, the next major changes to the cycle parts being the introduction of swinging-arm rear suspension and a sturdier telescopic front fork on the Bantam Major in 1956. Purchased in March 1978, this Bantam Major is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. Equipped with leg shields and luggage rack, and apparently complete, the machine comes with an old-style continuation logbook and an old V5 document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ex-Luca Grünwald 2014 Kalex-KTM 250cc Moto3 Grand Prix Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 803 803 211 AREV 01-08•Campaigned in the Moto3 World Championship by Kiefer Racing•Raced in BSB support events 2015-2019•Restored by Phil Morris in 2020Usually the class that provides the closest racing at Grand Prix level, Moto3 was introduced in 2012, replacing the 125cc category, and was intended for younger competitors aiming to be the next generation of MotoGP stars. The Moto3 category is for single-cylinder 250cc four-stroke engines with a maximum bore of 81mm, while the minimum combined weight of the motorcycle and rider is 148kg (326lb). The minimum age for the Moto3 class normally is 16. Unlike Moto2, which is restricted to a 'control' engine, Moto3 is a true prototype class, with representation in 2014 from Honda, KTM, Mahindra, and Husqvarna, although the latter were re-badged KTMs. Teams could choose either the manufacturer's chassis or one from a variety of independent frame-makers including Kalex, Suter, and FTR. The KTM-engined Kalex offered here was campaigned during the 2014 season by the German team Kiefer Racing, who started the season with rookies Gabriel Ramos (Venezuela) and Luca Grünwald (Germany). This machine was raced by Grunwald, who finished 14 of the 18 rounds with a best result (twice) of 16th place, just out of the points. While he was temporarily sidelined because of injury, Grünwald's place at the Misano round was taken by Remy Gardner (son of former World Champion Wayne Gardner) who is currently leading the Moto2 World Championship and has a contract in his pocket for MotoGP with Tech3 KTM in 2022. Gardner finished in 27th place, one ahead of Ramos. At the end of the 2014 season, this Kalex-KTM was sold to Steve Halbrook, who campaigned it in Moto3 events supporting the British Superbike Championship from 2015 to 2019 inclusive. The machine was then sold to Billy Gray Wood and by him to Phil Morris. Phil set about fully restoring the machine during the first 'lockdown' of 2020. The machine was stripped down to the bare frame and all the carbon fibre bodywork redone. Importantly, the machine retains is Moto3 2D dashboard and GPS, and Phil was able to obtain a Zard exhaust from Kiefer racing, who also sent him a sticker kit to return the bike if its 2014 livery. The machine comes with a packet of leftover stickers; a Kalex Engineering Bulletin; and printouts of the results of the 2014 MoT3 World Championship season. A quantity of related spares, including wheels, will be offered as part of our online auction in December (details to be announced).Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

GAM 44NFrame no. 104528Engine no. 239M3 113107Designed by the legendary Fabio Taglioni, Ducati's first overhead-camshaft single appeared in 1955. Desmodromic valve operation was a feature of the racing versions and would later be applied to the sportier roadsters. The first major revision to the original design occurred in 1967 when the 'wide case' engine was introduced, which featured an aft engine mount wider than before and numerous other improvements, the most significant being a stronger big-end assembly. Mid-way through 1968, the Mark III was introduced in both valve-spring and Desmo versions, differences between the two being confined almost entirely to the cylinder head. Noteworthy developments included further increases in big-end size; the adoption of a Grimeca double-sided front brake; and the introduction of electronic ignition on the final Mark IIIs in 1973. The latter came in blue/gold (valve-spring) and yellow (Desmo) colour schemes, while a Brembo front disc brake was an option on the Desmos. This Mark III was purchased in 1977 by the vendor's late father for his son and is now offered for restoration. Currently uninstalled, the engine is believed to have been rebuilt some years ago. However, the Ducati's mechanical condition and its completeness or otherwise is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. The machine comes with the 1977 purchase receipt; a V5C document; and some books and manuals.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1953 CM 125cc Gran Sport 2TRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. CM2658Engine no. Sport CM2658CM was founded in Bologna in 1930 by rider/engineers Oreste Drusiani (whose son Alfonso would later find fame with Mondial) and Mario Cavedagna. Powered by overhead-valve and overhead-camshaft engines of various capacities up to 500cc, CM's motorcycles soon gained a reputation for both indestructibility and speed, its 'cammy' 350 ridden successfully by Guglielmo Sandri in the mid-1930s being particularly noteworthy. The company kept faith with the four-stroke engine in the immediately post-war years and then in 1949 introduced the first of a range of two-strokes, the ultimate expression of which was a 250cc twin. But the company was not yet done with four-stroke models, launching the overhead-cam Francolino 175 sports roadster in 1956. Belatedly climbing aboard the scooter bandwagon in 1958, the firm had ceased production by the decade's end. Purchased from Jurgen Kaiser in October 2018, this 125cc CM two-stroke appears to be an older restoration that would benefit from detailing. (The grease-filled shock absorbers are a particularly interesting feature.) Only 15 kilometres have been covered since the restoration and the machine is very nicely presented.

T100SS H41843Introduced for the 1960 season, the Tiger 100A was the first sports version of Triumph's unitary construction 500 twin, the 5TA. A raised compression ratio and 'hotter' cams helped the Tiger to a top speed in the region of 90mph, while the retention of a single carburettor meant that fuel economy did not suffer unduly. The T100A's replacement, the Tiger 100SS built between 1961 and 1970, featured an abbreviated rear 'bathtub' enclosure in its first incarnation together with larger-diameter wheels and a slightly more powerful engine equipped with coil-ignition.

Throughout the early 1950s it was the racers that again grabbed the headlines, the Arcore marque taking five manufacturer's titles and six individual championships with riders such as Duke, Liberati, and Masetti. Although racing generated valuable publicity, it was sales of road bikes that paid the bills. Best known and most successful large-capacity Gilera roadster of the period was the 500cc Saturno. Less familiar outside Italy was its baby brother the Nettuno (Neptune), a 247cc, overhead-valve, four-stroke single, which, like its larger contemporary, employed the horizontally-sprung, friction-damped, swinging-arm rear suspension first seen on the pre-war blown four. The Turismo produced 11bhp while the more powerful Sport, with alloy cylinder head, had 13 horsepower on tap. Top speeds were 64mph and 78mph respectively. Production of both models ended in 1954. This Nettuno Sport was bought from Atlantic Motorcycles on 10th January 1998 (sales invoice on file) but nothing else is known of its history. The machine is offered with an expired MoT (1999); assorted correspondence; instruction manuals x2 (in Italian); photocopy literature; a copy of Messrs Ainscoe & Perrone's book on Gilera racers; and a photocopy parts manual signed by Geoff Duke, Bill Lomas, Derek Minter and two others (signatures unidentified).

Ex-Sam Lowes 2014 Speed Up-Honda Moto2 Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredEngine no. S12-004•Speed Up's sole Moto2 entry in 2014•12th in the World Championship•Part of the Phil Morris Collection since 2017One step down from MotoGP, Moto2 was introduced in 2010 as a replacement for the 250cc class. Moto2 used a 'control' engine, Honda's 600cc CBR600RR, the tuning and maintenance of the pool of available engines being handled by a specialist contractor. Teams were not allowed to interfere with the sealed engines, but were free to build their own chassis. Tyres were provided by Dunlop while the electronics were limited and supplied only by FIM-sanctioned producers. Carbon brake discs were banned. The result was some extremely close and keenly contested racing, which is just what MotoGP owners Dorna wanted. By 2014, the Kalex and Suter chassis had effectively asserted themselves, there being 24 of their bikes on the grid that year. The Italian Speed Up team's sole representative was Britain's Sam Lowes, the reigning World Supersport Champion, who had signed a two-year deal. With no team-mate and no other team using the Speed Up chassis, development was often an uphill struggle for Lowes. According to Motocourse: 'There would be times when Lowes appeared to be lacking set-up direction from the team, and over-riding as a consequence, but the ever-committed Englishman was soon labelled with f-word: fast.'The season started promisingly with 6th place in the opening round at Qatar, but from then onwards results were increasingly hard to come by. Out of the 18 rounds, Sam failed to finish in ten of them and only bettered his Qatar finish once: at Philip Island in October where he came in 5th. Lowes ended the season 12th in the World Championship with 69 points, which was by no means a fair measure of his talent. Speed Up switched from carbon-fibre to aluminium for its swinging arm in 2015 and Lowes' results improved enormously, leaving him 4th in the World Championship at the season's end. The ex-Lowes Speed Up offered here dates from 2014 and was purchased by Phil Morris from PCR Performance in 2017 (receipt on file).Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1955 MV Agusta 123.5cc Monoalbero Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 150127Engine no. 150124•Delivered new to the UK•In-period Isle of Man TT participation (1961 Lightweight 125 TT)•Four owners from new•Restored in the 1990sFor 1953, MV offered an over-the-counter '125' racer for privateers, which was developed directly from the works bikes. Italian regulations for the domestic Formula Sport stipulated that machines should have only a single camshaft and four gears, and so the monoalbero (single-camshaft) '125' racer was born. Like its bialbero (twin-cam) progenitor, the SOHC '125' employed a train of gears to drive its upstairs cam. Bore and stroke were 53x56mm and the motor breathed via a 27mm Dell'Orto racing carburettor, eventually producing a maximum of 16bhp at 10,300rpm. The cycle parts were virtually an exact copy of the '52 works bikes', featuring a tubular duplex loop frame, telescopic front fork with central hydraulic damper, and swinging-arm rear suspension. Brakes were full-width aluminium-alloy: 7' diameter at the front, 6' at the rear. Dry weight was 165lb and the top speed over 90mph. Because Italy's long-distance road races, such as the Moto Giro d'Italia and Milan-Taranto required that machines be street legal and possess lights, a flywheel generator formed part of the specification. The MV Agusta monoalbero '125' racer proved an enormous success, remaining in production until 1956 and continuing to offer privateers a competitive ride in the 125cc class for many years thereafter. First owner Ross Porter of Spalding used this monoalbero up to 1958 when it was acquired by Chris Percival of Dunstable. In December 1959 the MV passed to the third owner, Peter Munday, from whom it was purchased by the current vendor in 2017. While owned by Peter Munday, the MV enjoyed some successes at national and international level, until an engine failure at Silverstone in early 1962 enforced its retirement. The monoalbero was then stored until 'unearthed' in 1990 and restored, the rebuild being completed in 1996. Subsequently the MV was paraded and shown in both the UK and Europe, while 'Classic Parade' laps of the TT course were completed in 2005 and the centenary year of 2007 (its last outing). Since its acquisition by the vendor, the MV has won a 'Highly Commended' award at the Southern Classic Off-road & Racing Show (in 2018). It has not been started since acquisition and its mechanical condition is not known. A quantity of spare parts is included in the sale (list available).Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1911 Pierce 592cc SingleRegistration no. LF 2227Frame no. 4447Engine no. 4284•Premier American marque•Brought to the UK during WWI•Known ownership history•Present family ownership since 1996•Pioneer CertificateAmerica's first four-cylinder motorcycle, the Pierce was manufactured by the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company at its factory in Buffalo, New York and was launched in 1909. It was not just its multi-cylinder engine that made the Pierce unusual; the frame too was novel, being constructed from 3½'-diameter steel tubes that housed fuel and oil, while final drive was by shaft. Early models employed direct drive, but from 1910 onwards a two-speed gearbox was standardised. At the time of its motorcycle's launch in 1909, Pierce-Arrow was embarking on a policy of building luxury cars only, many of which would come to be regarded as among America's finest. This approach was reflected in the quality - and cost - of the Pierce motorcycle and would ultimately lead to its downfall. Priced at $325 in 1909, it cost $400 when production ceased in 1913, at which time the basic Ford Model T was priced at $525. Alongside the four, Pierce offered a 592cc single-cylinder model from 1910, the sidevalve motor of which was redesigned with two-cam valve operation for 1912. A top speed of 55mph was claimed for the smaller Pierce, which was said to have the 'efficiency of a twin with the simplicity of single-cylinder construction'. Production ceased at the same time as that of the four. This single-cylinder Pierce is a 1912 model with magneto ignition, a two-speed gearbox and belt final drive. The machine was brought to the UK by a serving Canadian soldier during WWI, left in an outbuilding and never collected. The Pierce was first registered in July 1922, its first recorded keeper being a Ronald Leslie Carpenter of Petersfield, Hampshire. There are two further keepers listed in the original old-style RF60 logbook, both residing in Petersfield, while there are three listed in the accompanying (copy) continuation logbook (issued 1950) one of whom is also listed in the original logbook. The accompanying Pioneer Certificate was issued to one Edwin Heward of Petersfield in January 1961. The Pierce was ridden on the Pioneer Run in 1961 and was displayed at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu in September 1963. The current vendor's family has owned the Pierce since 1996.An older restoration, which still presents very well, the machine has been stored for many years and will require re-commissioning before returning to the road. Pierce motorcycles are very rare and highly sought after nowadays, only infrequently turning up on the open market, making this one a not-to-be-missed opportunity for collectors.

1975 Honda 174cc CB175 K6 Super SportRegistration no. HNN 273NFrame no. CB175-7050658Engine no. CB175E-7043378In 1964, Honda's 150 engine was increased to 160 for the CB160, and subsequently, in 1967, the capacity was further enlarged for the CD175, although it took another year for the CB175 sports version to arrive. The deceased owner acquired HNN 273N in 1984, and used the machine regularly every year thereafter, until two years ago. It was maintained as required throughout that period and used in conjunction with his other machines for regular transport, and also trips to the Isle of Man. Standing for the last two years, the Honda, which is presently on SORN, will require re-commissioning and safety checks prior to returning to the road. It should be noted that the V5C incorrectly lists the engine number as CB175E-7053705. Documentation includes a current V5C, an older-type V5C, an old V5, quantities of old tax discs and expired MoT certificates, plus miscellaneous papers.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1974 Norton Commando 850 MkIIARegistration no. PFE 860PFrame no. 320166Engine no. 320166The Commando's vibration-beating Isolastic frame enabled Norton Villiers successfully to prolong the life of their ageing parallel twin. Launched in 1967, the Commando used the preceding Atlas model's 750cc engine and AMC gearbox, and was an instant hit, being voted Motor Cycle News 'Machine of the Year' for five consecutive years. A little down on top speed compared to rivals such as BSA-Triumph's 750cc triples and Honda's CB750 four, the Commando more than made up for this minor deficiency with superior mid-range torque and steadier handling. Introduced in 1973, the '850' (actually 829cc) featured a larger bore, through-bolted cylinder block, stronger gearbox casting and an all-metal clutch among a host of other, more minor improvements. In 1974, a mildly revised MkII version was introduced featuring new colour schemes, while the MkIIA came with a quieter exhaust and larger airbox enabling it to meet European noise regulations. Restored in 2019, this matching-numbers Commando comes with a Norton Certificate of Authenticity. The machine was manufactured in late 1974 for the export market (Sweden) and sold in 1976 (hence the 'P' registration). We are advised by the vendor that it is totally original with the exception of the side panels (commonly changed in the 1980s) and the front disc brake. Classed as an Historic Vehicle, the machine is exempt from MoT and road tax. The vendor says that it starts and runs very well, with no leaks or anything serious to report.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
