The Hans Schifferle Collection 1992 Yamaha 1,197cc V-MaxRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. YA2WEE05NA022490Engine no. to be advisedFew motorcycles attain cult status as soon as they are announced. Introduced in 1985, the Yamaha V-Max is one of those rarities but given the fact that it was conceived as a street-legal dragster perhaps that is not so surprising. 'Ballistic Muscle' was how Bike magazine entitled its first road test of the 143bhp monster, declaring: 'When it comes to straight-line street rods, the V-Max is It.'This example was manufactured in 1992 and thus is a desirable 1st Generation V-Max, the most sought-after by collectors. The machine was purchased new by Hans in July 1992 from Motorradsport Schmid of Munich (cost: 16,590 DM). Hans and Helmut Lichtenberg then set about extensively modifying it, fitting floating brake discs, Beringer brake callipers (6-pot at the front); BBS billet wheels, bespoke White Power front forks and adjustable rear shocks; Devil exhaust system; and improved engine plates to reduce vibration and stiffen the ride (said to be very 'tight'). To complete the picture, the brake reservoir, side panels, engine components, clutch cover and driveshaft were all chromium plated. Currently displaying a total of 8,103 kilometres on the odometer, the machine is offered with Goldfren brake pads (very rare) as supplied by Fritz Egli; German Fahrzeugschein; expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; 2002 invoice for new tyres; 2000 Motorradsport Schmid invoice for servicing: two VMX12U owner's manuals; and a Yamaha Riding Tips booklet.

Property of a deceased's estate c.1957 Norton 490cc Manx Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. noneEngine no. M11 71789Dubbed 'Manx Grand Prix' in 1939, what would become the best-known racing motorcycle of all time had become simply 'Manx' when production resumed in 1946. Norton's over-the-counter Manx racers were much as their pre-war counterparts, with single-overhead-camshaft engine, 'square' cylinder head finning, upright gearbox and plunger-suspended 'garden gate' frames. Only the presence of the Roadholder telescopic front fork readily distinguished them from the '39 machines. 1949 brought the first significant change in engine specification, the Manx gaining a double-overhead-camshaft 'head like that enjoyed by the works bikes for many years, but the major development was the arrival of the Featherbed frame for 1951. The works' adoption of the McCandless-designed duplex-loop swinging-arm chassis the previous year had given the Nortons a welcome lease of life in Grand Prix racing, and Geoff Duke duly took both the 350cc and 500cc world titles in 1951. Presented in 'oily rag' cosmetic condition, the interesting Manx 'special' offered here consists of an un-numbered Featherbed frame and a Model 30 (490cc) engine, the latter dating from 1957. The engine does not turn over and the machine's mechanical condition remains unknown. Re-commissioning will be required before further use.

Property of a deceased's estate 1960 Triumph 649cc T120 BonnevilleRegistration no. 292 ALTFrame no. D7504 (Overstamped)Engine no. T120 D7504Graced by one of the most evocative model designations in the history of motorcycling, the Triumph Bonneville owes its existence to record-breaking successes achieved on the eponymous Utah salt flats in 1958, when a Tiger 110 set a new 650cc production machine record of over 147mph. A new alloy cylinder head with inlet ports splayed wide to accommodate twin carburettors had become available as a tuning aid early in 1958 and it was, chiefly, this innovation that enabled the specially prepared T110 to so far eclipse the performance of the standard version. Triumph lost no time in capitalising on its technological breakthrough, announcing a new model equipped with the splayed 'head and twin Amal carburettors in September 1958: the Bonneville. This incomplete and distressed Bonneville is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. The machine comes with 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.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1994 Harley-Davidson 1,340cc FLHTC Electra Glide ClassicRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 1HD1DJL13SY500661Engine no. view obstructedTwo important events in the lengthy development of Harley's perennial v-twin occurred in the mid-1960s when the 74ci (1,200cc) FH and FLH Duo-Glide adopted electric starting (1965) and the revised 'Shovelhead' engine the following year. Now known as the 'Electra Glide' - without question one of the most evocative names in motorcycling history – Harley's updated cruiser featured a new frame to house the large 12-volt battery and a reshaped primary drive cover to accommodate the electric starter mechanism. The Shovelhead 'Glide continued in production for a further 18 years before bowing out in 1983 with the arrival of the Evolution-engined 'Glide. The world's oldest surviving motorcycle manufacturer, Harley-Davidson is acutely aware of its heritage and the Electra Glide has remained a cornerstone of the range to this day. This Electra Glide Classic was purchased new in September 1994 from Bobo's Motorcycle's in Munich (32,920 DM). Much loved by Hans, the Glide is presented in TT Burgundy/Red with lashings of chrome throughout. Very well presented, it has covered 14,945 kilometres from new and would benefit from detailing. The machine is offered with a German Fahrzeugschein and an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence.

Property of a deceased's estate 1951 Triumph 499cc Tiger T100Registration no. PPD 862Frame no. none visibleEngine no. T100 3296NAThe Tiger 100 sports version of Edward Turner's trend-setting Speed Twin was launched in 1938, reappearing in 1946 with telescopic forks in place of the original girders, and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war version's magdyno. Produced almost unchanged for the next three years, the Tiger gained Triumph's distinctive headlamp nacelle in 1949 when the range was restyled. An alloy cylinder head and barrel were adopted for 1951, these and other engine improvements boosting power to 32bhp, while a swinging-arm frame and 8'-diameter front brake (first seen on the 650cc Tiger 110) were fitted from late 1953 onwards. Bought in March 1977 and apparently still complete, this sprung hub-equipped T100 is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.

c.1969 MotoBi 250cc Sport SpecialRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. S*478730Engine no. S*3550The now-defunct Italian manufacturer MotoBi is closely related to Benelli. In 1949 the eldest of the six Benelli brothers, Giuseppe, left to found his own company: Moto 'B' Pesaro, later MotoBi. The latter's first design was a 98cc single-cylinder two-stroke lightweight with horizontal engine, a layout that would characterise its offerings from then onwards. In the early 1950s a new range of all-aluminium engines was introduced whose profile resembled that of an egg or rugby ball, and this style was deliberately retained when MotoBi switched to overhead-valve four-strokes towards the decade's end. MotoBi was reabsorbed by Benelli in 1962 and sometime later the bikes were re-badged as Benellis. Nothing is known of the history of this partly dismantled MotoBi Sport Special, which is believed to be a '250'. There are no documents with this motorcycle, which is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.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 1950 Vincent 998cc Series-C Black ShadowRegistration no. LGP 204 (see text)Frame no. none visible (see text) Rear frame no. RC5848BEngine no. F10AB/1B/3948 Crankcase Mating no's. FF42/FF42•Matching engine and rear frame•Present ownership since 1985•Off the road for the last few years•Requires re-commissioningEver since the Series A's arrival in 1937, the Vincent v-twin has been synonymous with design innovation, engineering excellence and superlative high performance. From Rollie Free's capture of the 'world's fastest production motorcycle' record in 1948 on a tuned Series-B Black Shadow to the final fully enclosed Black Knight and Black Prince, Philip Vincent's stress on appearance and performance is legendary. His machines bristled with innovative features, offering adjustment of brake pedal, footrests, seat height and gear-change lever. The finish was to a very high standard commensurate with the cost of the machine, which was virtually double that of any of its contemporaries.But above all else it was the v-twin's stupendous performance that captivated motorcyclists, whether they could afford one or not. The appeal of the Vincent, and the Black Shadow in particular, lay in its ability to out-perform just about every other vehicle on the road, and in the early post-war years there was nothing to compare with it. This was a time when the average family sedan was barely capable of reaching 70mph, and not until the advent of Jaguar's XK120 was there a production sports car that could live with the thundering v-twins from Stevenage. With a top speed approaching 120mph and bettering it in the Black Shadow's case, the Vincent v-twin was quite simply the fastest road vehicle of its day. The Black Shadow was indeed a legend in its own lifetime, and in the 60-plus years since production ceased, the esteem in which this iconic motorcycle is held has only increased, fuelling the demand among discerning collectors for well-preserved examples of the marque, such as that offered here. Engine number 'F10AB/1B/3948' and rear frame 'RC5848B' are those of a Series-C Black Shadow dispatched to Conway's in London in May 1950. The upper frame would have been stamped by the factory when new, so it seems that it has been replaced with a blank one at some time. Accordingly prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the validity of the Vehicle Registration Number, and authenticity of the machine's components prior to bidding. Its late owner purchased the Black Shadow in November 1985. The machine would respond well to detailing and will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road. Amal Concentric carburettors – a sensible upgrade – are a particularly noteworthy feature. The history file contains numerous invoices; a V5C document; assorted correspondence; a service manual and handbooks; a quantity of marque-related literature; and an expired MoT (2014).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 1952 Sunbeam 500cc S8Registration no. JSL 570Frame no. S8-6347Engine no. S8 10199A wartime design, the Sunbeam inline twin was introduced by BSA, owners of Sunbeam Cycles Limited, in 1947. A luxury tourer inspired by the pre-war BMW, it was of advanced specification with overhead-camshaft engine, shaft drive and plunger rear suspension. The clutch housing and four-speed gearbox bolted directly to the back of the engine, which was rubber mounted in the duplex loop frame, an innovation that required a flexible joint in the exhaust system ahead of the silencer. The first S7 version was equipped with balloon tyres, a feature not carried over to the deliberately more conventional, and also lighter and cheaper, S8 introduced in 1949. The front fork and 7' brake were now standard BSA components, and there were numerous other changes made in the interests of rationalisation. Never as popular as BSA's more performance orientated models, the gentlemanly S7 and S8 remained in production until 1957. Apparently, an older restoration, this S8 was purchased in July 2020 and currently displays a total of 3,143 miles on the odometer. Sadly, the owner never got the chance to ride the 'Beam before he passed away in August 2020, since when it has been dry stored. There is some pitting to the exhaust and the machine would respond well to detailing, though it should be noted that compression is weak. 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.

Ex-Jason Griffiths 2000 Yamaha 998cc 'R71' Superbike Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. *JYARN041000002231*Engine no. *N503E-002308*This machine was originally purchased from David Jones Motorcycles by well-known tuner/entrant Ray Cowles for his godson Jason Griffiths to race. One of the most successful road-racing specialists of his day, Jason never managed to win a TT, though four second places and nine thirds are ample testimony to his immense talent. With Shell Oils sponsorship, Jason raced this R1 throughout the 2000 season, achieving a brace of sixth-place finishes at the Isle of Man TT and finishing well up the leaderboard at Scarborough, the North West 200, Southern 100, and Jurby. The Yamaha was later sold to Phil Morris to serve as a second bike in his Morris Holdings racing team for the 2001 season, although almost all of that year's road races would be wiped out by the foot and mouth epidemic. Jason continued to ride the V&M-tuned R71 in 2002, and a comprehensive summary of the season's achievements may be found within the most substantial history files. The latter also contain a Yamaha R1 owner's manual; numerous invoices; technical data sheets; signed photographs; Form V55/1; and a sticker kit should the next owner wish to return the machine to its original Shell Oils livery.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

1953 MV Agusta 123.5cc Monoalbero Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 150171Engine no. 150027•Over-the-counter racer for privateers•Imported new by Bill Webster•Part of the Phil Morris Collection since c.2009Although best known for their four-cylinder four-strokes, multiple World Championship-winning MV-Agusta built lightweights throughout its manufacturing career, and in its early days listed small two-strokes and even a scooter. The racing 125cc two-strokes were a major success, winning the arduous Milan-Taranto road race in 1950, '51 and '52, but at World Championship level the MVs were outclassed by the four-stroke FB-Mondial with its twin-overhead-cam engine. Count Agusta's response was to hire Gilera's chief designer Piero Remor together with its chief mechanic, Arturo Magni. However, the new Remor-designed 125cc four-stroke was not an immediate success, and it was only following Mondial's withdrawal from racing that MV bagged its first 125cc World Championship, Cecil Sandford taking the riders' title in 1952. The following year MV offered an over-the-counter 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 165lbs 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. This monoalbero was brought into the UK by MV importer Bill Webster. In the past it has been claimed that this particular machine was ridden by Webster in the Isle of Man TT races in the early/mid-1950s before being passed on to Mike Hailwood for 1957 (see Brooks Auctioneers' Stafford sale catalogue description from April 2000 on file). However, there is no documentary evidence on file to support these claims. It has been suggested that this MV may be the one ridden by Don Whelan in the 1960 Isle of Man Ultra-Lightweight TT, in which he failed to finish. Following Whelan's death, that machine passed to Ivan Rhodes, who raced it once at Cadwell Park. It then passed to Harry Phillips and his son Ron (of Fahron Engineering fame) circa 1966. Ron fitted a Bultaco engine into the MV before it was sold on. In the late 1970s, Ron received a letter from someone in Surrey stating that they had retrieved the original engine. Ron has confirmed to Bonhams that the machine he obtained from Ivan Rhodes is not the one offered here. The machine in this sale was purchased in 1985 from a Bugatti collector in Gloucester (believed to be Geoffrey St John) by well-known collector Eric Biddle for John Howson. Harold Lomas (father of World Champion Bill Lomas) then rebuilt the engine circa 1986/1987. In 1998 the MV was purchased from John Howson by collector Martyn Simpkins, who was Brooks' vendor in 2000. The machine's purchaser at that time was the late Jim Lilley, from whose estate it was acquired by Phil Morris circa 2009. Phil commissioned the fabrication of the 'dustbin' fairing the machine features today. Further research into this machine's may yet prove rewarding.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 1947 Indian 1,200cc Big ChiefRegistration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. 3479452Engine no. CDG 9452 B (see text)Nowadays the original Indian company is remembered mainly for its powerful, large-capacity v-twins, which first appeared in the 1900s and lasted in production right up to Indian's demise half-a-century later. In 1920 a smaller model, the 600cc Scout, joined the 1,000cc Powerplus and then two years later the range was extended to encompass a new, Scout-based 1,000cc model: the Chief, first of a noble line that would endure until 1953. Constantly developed, the Chief had gained a new frame and forks, dry-sump lubrication and coil ignition by 1940, that year's models being notable as the first to have plunger rear suspension and the deeply skirted fenders of the quintessential Chief. With war looming, Indian increasingly turned to the production of military models. Indian's first significant post-war development was a change to girder forks for the 74ci (1,200cc) Big Chief, by then Indian's only model. In 1950 the Chief's engine was stretched to 80ci (1,320cc) and a telescopic front fork, left-foot gear shift and right-hand throttle twist-grip adopted, the latter for the first time on a production Indian. Changes made to the last-of-the-line 1952/53 Chiefs were relatively minor, the most obvious being a smaller front fender and the adoption of a bench-type seat. This Big Chief was purchased from a Turin-based collector in June 2002. Helmut Lichtenberg advises that both fuel tank halves were rebuilt due to weeping, and the carburettor refurbished, while the engine was found to be good, only requiring new pistons and valves. We are advised that the generator is a little weak (poor charge) and ideally needs rewinding. The machine was exercised annually until approximately eight months ago, while the engine is said to have started 'first kick' when last run. The Indian was previously registered in the UK as 'GSK 765', and the VRN appears on the HPI database, albeit exported. Nevertheless, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding. Re-registering the machine is the responsibility of the buyer. It should also be noted that HPI report lists engine number 'CDF410', which may indicate a change of engine. The machine is offered with German Fahrzeugschein; old ASI Certificato di Identita and correspondence; expired MoTs (2000/2001): purchase receipt; expired TüV (MOT) certificates; and assorted correspondence.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low RateImport tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.N (NOVA): This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

1959 Ducati 175cc Formula 3 Racing MotorcycleFrame no. F512Engine no. *F512*•Ultra-rare, hand-built, limited edition model•Raced by Sonny Angel of San Diego, California•Fully restored by recognised specialists•Previously offered from the Jack Silverman Collection'As early as 1959, in line with their policy of replacing old with new, Ducati phased out its Gran Sport models in favour of the new Formula 3 series. It was to be built in three engines: the 175 (1959-61), the 125 (1959-61) and the 250 (1961-62). All three were pure-bred, hand-built racing motorcycles, built for Italian Formula 3 competition.' – Mick Walker, 'Ducati- The Racing Story'.For the production racing classes, Ducati offered its Formula 3 model in 125cc, 175cc and (later) 250cc capacities. Although visibly similar to their road-going equivalents, these were very different motorcycles featuring sand-cast crankcases and special engine internals, while the camshaft bevels and primary drive featured straight-cut gears. The gearbox was a four-speeder. Lower and lighter than the roadster versions, the frames featured a lowered steering head, shorter forks, and a shorter swinging arm. Brakes were upgraded to racing specification. Ducati quoted a maximum power output of 16bhp for the 175. The Formula 3's first major success came in 1958, shortly after its introduction, when Francesco Villa rode one to victory in the 175 F3 race supporting the Grand Prix des Nations at Monza. In its native Italy the 125 Formula 3 would provide Ducati with regular victories in that class into the mid-1960s. In the USA, works rider Franco Farné travelled the country visiting Ducati dealerships to promote the brand, as well as taking in an extensive programme of racing for which the factory had provided him with a 175 F3 and a 125 Desmo single. At Daytona in March 1959, shortly after arriving, Farné secured a memorable victory in the 250 class riding the 175cc F3. Franco Villa took over in 1960 and continued the successful promotion of Ducati's OHC singles for importer Berliner Motor Corporation.Hand built in small numbers, the Formula 3 Ducatis were necessarily expensive; indeed, in the UK the 175 cost more than a 500cc Manx Norton! Understandably, production of these exotic Formula 3 models was limited, perhaps amounting to fewer than 100, making any genuine example extremely rare today. This genuine Ducati Formula 3 was raced by Sonny Angel of San Diego, California before being enjoyed as part of the private collection belonging to a local discerning enthusiast. It was fully and correctly restored by marque expert Ted Henry of Torrance, California, with Frank Scurria rebuilding the engine before the machine became part of Hollywood photographer, Guy Webster's, collection. It was then acquired by the world famous Jack Silverman Collection until it was purchased by the current vendor at Bonhams' Autumn Stafford Sale in October 2017. The machine has not been used/run since acquisition and has been kept dry stored in the garage. Accordingly, it will need to be fully re-commissioned to a greater or lesser extent before use.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 1907 Minerva 412ccRegistration no. AC 3738Frame no. 22052Engine no. 13135Although a latecomer to bicycle manufacture, the Belgian Minerva concern was among the first to offer a viable proprietary engine for motorcycles. Nominally of one horsepower, the 211cc unit was designed for attachment ahead of the cycle's front down-tube - a location which became known as the 'Minerva position' - and was of advanced configuration, employing a mechanically operated inlet valve instead of the automatic type favoured by rival manufacturers. As well as building complete powered machines of its own, the company served the much larger proprietary engine market, supplying many Continental manufacturers as well as those in Britain, notably: Ariel, Matchless, Phoenix, Quadrant, Royal Enfield, and Triumph. Larger-capacity engines, including v-twins, were developed, though the inevitable increase in bulk meant that these were mounted conventionally within the frame. Minerva achieved numerous victories in motorcycle racing, yet despite its commercial and competition successes on two wheels, the company's plans for the future lay elsewhere and they abandoned motorcycle manufacture after 1909 to concentrate on cars. Little is known of the history of this Minerva, which is believed to be an older restoration. The engine turns over, but the machine's mechanical condition is not known; re-commissioning will be required before returning it to the road. Accompanying documentation includes a VMCC dating document signed by marque specialist Derek Foxton; a V5C Registration Certificate; and an old-style logbook issued in 1947.

1951/52 AJS 7R 350cc Racing MotorcycleFrame no. 1478Engine no. 52/7R 104•Iconic over-the-counter racer•Offered from the private collection of the late R J Gardiner•Got running in June 2021 after 18 years inactivity Built from 1948 to 1963, Associated Motor Cycles' AJS 7R - known as the 'Boy Racer' - was one of the most successful over-the-counter racing motorcycles of all time. Almost all of Britain's road-race stars of the 1950s and 1960s rode a 7R at some stage of their careers and the model remains a major force in classic racing today, being highly sought after by competitors and collectors alike. The 7R was conceived as a customer machine for sale to private owners but was also campaigned by the works team.Although a new design by Phil Walker, the 7R, with its chain-driven overhead-camshaft, was very reminiscent of the AJS 'cammy' singles of pre-war days. Despite the fact that the 7R was not, initially, as powerful as its main rivals - the Velocette KTT and Junior Manx Norton – its robust and simple construction endeared the model to the privateer responsible for his own maintenance. While the duplex loop frame and Teledraulic front fork remained essentially unchanged throughout production, the engine underwent almost continuous revision, latterly under the supervision of Jack Williams. To this end the valve angle was progressively narrowed; the inlet port downdraft angle made steeper; the crankshaft strengthened; and, in 1956, engine dimensions changed from the original long-stroke 74x81mm bore/stroke to the 'squarer' 75.5x78mm, permitting higher revs. AMC's own gearbox (also used on the Manx Norton) replaced the previous Burman in 1958, while engine development continued almost to the end of production, by which time the 7R was putting out around 41bhp. There was also a works-only three-valve 'triple knocker' - the 7R3A - which Rod Coleman used to win the 1954 Isle of Man Junior TT, while a Matchless-badged 500cc version of the production 7R – the G50 – was introduced towards the end of 1958. The AJS 7R was passed to the current vendor by his father, the late R J Gardiner, whose collection of ISDT and SSDT competition motorcycles was sold by Bonhams in April 2019. This machine consists of a 1951 frame, 1952 engine, and 1949 gearbox. Its history is not known. Dry stored in R J Gardiner's private museum and not run for 18 years, the AJS was re-commissioned in June 2021 (fresh oil and petrol; float needle unstuck) and fired up easily on the starting rollers. Downsizing enforces its sale. Included in this Lot are copies of marque-related literature; a copy AJS spares list; The Classic Motorcycle (June 1986); and The AJS 7R by Mick Walker.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

1959 Excelsior 98cc Consort ProjectRegistration no. UJF 118Frame no. SC9 677Engine no. 606B 8963Excelsior's Consort first appeared in 1953 as the F4, with Villiers 4F engine and two-speed gearbox, changing to the 6F unit for 1956 when a plunger-suspended version joined the range. The Consorts continued in production until the end of 1957 when they were replaced by the new Consort CA8, a more up-to-date design featuring a telescopic front fork and swinging-arm frame. This un-restored Consort has belonged to the vendor's family since April 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.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 1960 Gilera 175 Super SportRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 189 03920Engine no. 189 03920Throughout the early 1950s, it was Gilera's racers that grabbed the headlines, taking six individual World Championships and five manufacturers' titles. Although racing generated valuable publicity, it was sales of road bikes that paid the bills. The majority of machines sold were lightweights based on the overhead-valve 125cc single that had first appeared in prototype form in 1948. Developed and enlarged first to 150cc and then 175cc, these simple OHV singles were top sellers throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s, although their high price outside Italy made them a relatively rare sight abroad. The '175' first appeared in 1956 and would go on to be built in Sport, Super Sport, Regolarita (enduro) and Cross (scrambles) variants. The Super Sport weighed 110kg (242.5lb) and had a top speed of 73mph. Testing a Gilera 175 in 1958, Motor Cycling found it to be 'an amazingly economical, high-performance race-bred sports lightweight'. The Gilera 175 Super Sport was purchased circa 2006 from a Turin-based collector. The machine was in good cosmetic condition when acquired, although the engine needed overhauling and was rebuilt by Helmut Lichtenberg. Only 153 kilometres have been covered since the rebuild. The machine is offered with a German Fahrzeugschein and an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1978 Honda CB400FRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. CB400F-1082608Engine no. CB400FE-1078417Now rightly regarded as one of the outstanding classics of the 1970s, the Honda CB400 Four first appeared in 1974. Described as 'the poor boy's muscle bike', the CB400F boasted a combination of a four-cylinder overhead-camshaft engine in a 250-sized package that endowed it with a performance better than many 500s. With a stylish four-into-one exhaust, six gears and rear-set footrests, it was every boy-racer's dream and a huge commercial success. Comparing it to the opposition, Bike magazine reckoned the CB400F 'represents a brilliantly engineered concept. It retains its appeal on several fronts: it's a four-stroke, and an awful lot of people are biased towards four-strokes; it's as quick as the two-strokes, yet on average road use will give considerably better fuel consumption; its handling is noticeably better than the two-strokes; and who can dispute that it's easily the best sounding 400?'Currently displaying a total of 26,675 kilometres on the odometer, this beautifully presented CB400F was purchased by Hans circa 2002. Both the seat and carburettors were changed, to meet Hans' exacting standards, and a new-old-stock 4-into-1 exhaust obtained and fitted at great cost. The machine is offered with a German Fahrzeugschein; expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; 2011 servicing invoice; an owner's manual; and a workshop manual.

Property of a deceased's estate 1958 Triumph 349cc Twenty OneRegistration no. 200 CDEFrame no. H4995Engine no. 21 H4995Triumph re-entered the '350' class in 1957 with the introduction of the 'Twenty One', its arrival ushering in Triumph's unitary construction era. The model took its name from the engine's approximate cubic capacity in inches. Readily distinguishable by its Shell Blue metallic finish and 'bathtub' rear enclosure - a feature later applied to Triumph's larger models - the newcomer was renamed '3TA' in September 1958. With just 18.5bhp on tap, Triumph's smallest twin lacked the urgent acceleration of its larger brethren but nevertheless was a capable tourer good for around 80mph while delivering excellent fuel economy. This incomplete and distressed Twenty One was last taxed in 1972 and purchased in May 1974. 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.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1963 Honda 247cc CB72Registration no. 547 FFRFrame no. 314793Engine no. 314806Introduced in 1960, the CB72 retained the basic layout of the preceding C70 and C71 but with wet-sump lubrication and a gearbox-mounted clutch. In addition, the sporting CB changed to a 180-degree crankshaft and twin carburettors, and used a tubular spine frame instead of the pressed-steel chassis of the tourers. Producing 24bhp at a then-stratospheric 9,000rpm, and weighing only 340lbs, the CB72 possessed an excellent power-to-weight ratio endowing it with performance challenging that of many British 500s. Boasting an overhead-camshaft engine, electric starter, rev counter and twin-leading-shoe brakes, the CB72 was unmatched by any of its rivals and is one of the most desirable of early Japanese classics. This CB72 is described by the private vendor as in generally good condition, benefiting from new wheel rims and overhauled speedometer and rev counter. Run in February 2020, the machine is offered with sundry bills, old/current V5C documents, and an expired MoT (2014).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 ex-Steve Hislop, Niall Mackenzie, James Whitham, Cadbury's Boost C.1995 Yamaha YZF750 Superbike Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. YM 005007Engine no. W03•Ex-Belgarda Yamaha factory World Superbike team•First raced in the British Superbike Championship in 1996•Part of the Phil Morris Collection since 2016The news of Steve Hislop's untimely death in a helicopter accident in August 2003 came as a severe blow to road-racing aficionados everywhere. On his day, 'Hizzy' was as fast as anyone in the world, if not faster, as his 2002 lap of Donington Park on the Ducati 999R testastretta superbike - quicker than Valentino Rossi's best on the works Honda RC211V Moto GP bike - seemed to demonstrate. Steve Hislop loved the more technical road circuits such as Cadwell Park, Oulton Park and Brands Hatch, and was a master of what for many remains the ultimate challenge: the Isle of Man TT course. Hizzy won 11 TTs between 1987 and 1994, endearing himself to British enthusiasts when he rode the Abus-sponsored Norton Rotary to victory in the 1992 Senior Race, and in 1989 became the first man ever to lap at over 120mph. He was British 250cc Champion in 1990 and British Superbike Champion in 1995 and 2002, having narrowly missed the title in 2001 following an injury. That famous 2002 victory was achieved on the Monstermob Ducati, but Steve was not retained for 2003 and returned to Rob McElnea's Virgin-sponsored Yamaha team for which he had last ridden in the 2000 season. Sadly, it did not turn out to be a happy reunion, and at the time of his tragic accident, Steve was looking forward to riding his old 2002 title-winning Ducati for the ETI team. The Yamaha YZF750 offered here was ridden by Steve Hislop for the Cadbury's Boost team in the 1998 British Superbike Championship. This YZF started life in the World Superbike Championship and for 1995 formed part of the factory-supported Italian Belgarda team's line up. It was among the machines, engines and spares later re-deployed for use in the British Superbike Championship under the Cadbury's Boost banner. An engine data sheet on file shows that 'W03' was used at Donington Park; Monza; Albacete; Salzburg; Brands Hatch; Mugello; and Assen in 1995. Belgarda's riders for 1995 were Yasutomo Nagai and Colin Edwards, but which of them used this engine and when is not recorded. An email printout on file from former Cadbury's Boost mechanic Mel Allen refers to 'W03' as having been Paolo Casoli's No. 1 engine, so it must date from 1994 when Casoli rode for Yamaha in the WSBK. He continues: 'In 1996 we acquired enough factory parts to build three complete bikes and have a spare engine to run in BSB under the Cadbury Boost banner. The main frame YM 005007 heavily braced and quite a stiff chassis... was used in the first part of the season as the spare bike between Niall Mackenzie and James Whitham who I was working for. As the season progressed more parts filtered through from Italy and new No. 1 bikes were built with new modified frames and the originals became No 2 bikes through 1996 and with Chris Walker in 1997. Steve Hislop joined the team for 1998 and after extensive testing he preferred the tautness of the old chassis with the new generation forks as it suited his 250-style high corner speed, so at most of the British rounds that chassis became his No. 1 bike. The engines were on a maintenance rota so that engine was used in both No. 1 and No. 2 bikes depending on the venue.'Steve's palmarès for the 1998 season included four race wins and a total of 12 podiums in BSBK for 3rd overall in the championship, plus 9th and 10th place finishes in WSBK at Donington Park and 8th and 11th at Brands Hatch. Phil Morris acquired the ex-Hislop Yamaha in 2016 as part of a 'bike swap' agreement with previous owner Nick Crocker. Since then the engine has been out and the machine sympathetically refurbished by McAMS Yamaha mechanic Kevin Stephenson. The belly pan has been repainted but otherwise the machine is as acquired. Offered with a history file. A selection of spares relating to this lot will be sold as part of our online sale in December. Further details to follow.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 c.1955 Triumph 499cc TR5 TrophyRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 29181Engine no. TR5 14841 NAFrom the time of its introduction in 1948, the Trophy was established as a true all-rounder: a machine that could be ridden to work during the week and then, with extraneous components removed, competed on at weekends in its owner's chosen branch of motorcycle sport. Although catalogued primarily as a trials machine, its true forte was scrambles and the ISDT, events in which the twin-cylinder engine's power worked to its advantage and its weight was less of a handicap. Nevertheless, the TR5 remained an extremely competent and stylish roadster until the end of production in 1958. Consisting of non-matching frame and engine, the former dating from 1952 and the latter from 1951, this incomplete Trophy is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. The machine was purchased from a Government sale at Ruddington in May 1974.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

1980 Honda CD200 BenlyRegistration no. RWC 902WFrame no. MA01-2007482Engine no. MA01E-2001978Introduced for 1979 and based on the preceding CD175 and CD185 models, the Honda CD200 was aimed squarely at the market sector that regarded motorcycles merely as cheap and convenient transport rather than thrilling lifestyle accessories. Not exactly an exciting performer, the CD200 would nevertheless cruise comfortably at 65mph while at the same time delivering around 70 miles to every gallon. A lengthy production run of over 20 years proved the rightness of the basic concept. The private vendor advises us that this CD200 has been restored over a period of time, benefiting from a new alternator, tank rubber, clutch lever, clutch springs, exhaust pipe joint, headlight, and various nuts, bolts, screws, O-rings, etc (bills available). The machine last ran in May of this year. It should be noted that the speedometer was swapped for a second-hand one at 42,168 miles (the current odometer reading is 25,060 miles). Offered with a V5C Registration Certificate (the engine number recorded on the V5C is MA01E-2013477) expired MoT and sundry invoices. Please note this machine is recorded as an Insurance Write Off on the HPI database: Category C Insurance Loss. Vehicle Extensively Damaged But Repairable in 2015.

c.1953 MV Agusta 123.5cc Bialbero Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 130042Engine no. 0042First seen in 1948, MV Agusta's racing 125cc two-strokes were very successful but at World Championship level were outclassed by the four-stroke FB Mondial with its twin-overhead-cam engine. Count Agusta's response was to hire Gilera's chief designer, Piero Remor, together with its chief mechanic, Arturo Magni in 1950. However, the new Remor-designed 125cc four-stroke bialbero (twin-cam) was not an immediate success. It was only following Mondial's withdrawal that MV bagged its first 125cc World Championship, Cecil Sandford taking the riders' title in 1952. MV's '125' had been extensively redesigned for '52, gaining telescopic forks, full-width alloy hubs and a sleeker fuel tank, while maximum power increased to 15bhp. Les Graham's influence saw the '125' equipped with Ernie Earles' leading-link front forks for 1953 and these also found their way onto the 500cc four. Graham won the Isle of Man Ultra-lightweight TT that year, but his tragic death a few days later dealt a severe blow to the team's fortunes. NSU's Werner Haas took the riders' title in the 125cc class but MV did at least have the satisfaction of retaining the manufacturers' crown.This MV bialbero consists of a frame and engine believed unoriginal to one another. The MV was purchased from a German dealer, who had acquired it in Italy, and was last run in 2018. The machine's mechanical condition is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed.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 new line-up comprised overhead-valve and sidevalve singles in capacities ranging from 250cc to 500cc, plus the range-topping 650cc 6/1 sidecar tug. Endowed with distinctive timing covers for the magneto gear drive - a feature Page would employ at BSA later in the decade - the engines were simple yet robust in construction and amenable to a fair degree of tuning in the case of the overhead-valve units. A near top-of-the-range model produced between 1937 and 1939, this incomplete 5H De Luxe is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed (the engine does not turn). The machine was purchased from Brian Verrall in March 1977.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

1976 Ossa 244cc MAR Trials MotorcycleRegistration no. UNM 335RFrame no. B333411Engine no. M333411In a bid to emulate local rivals Bultaco and Montesa's off-road competition successes, Ossa hired English trials star Mick Andrews in 1967. Then only 23 but already a proven winner, Andrews set about developing Ossa's existing trail bike into a competitive trials mount, a process that culminated in the MAR (Mick Andrews Replica), which carried its creator to consecutive European Trials Championships in 1971 and '72. The MAR put Ossa on the trials map with a vengeance and proved so successful that it remained in production until the late 1970s. The vendor advises us that this MAR had been run four times in the last year on open roads and twice off-road on local byways, the last occasion being in November 2020. The exhaust mid-section has been replaced (original exhaust included). Offered with a V5C and MoT (expiring 22nd March 2021).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

1953 Matchless 498cc G45 Racing Motorcycle Registration no. ESL 578Frame no. G45 129Engine no. G45 129• One of the most beautiful and desirable British racing motorcycles ever made• One of circa 80 made• Last run in 2020The prototype of what would become the G45 first appeared at the '51 Manx Grand Prix with Robin Sherry in the saddle, eventually finishing 4th after a promising debut. In fact the machine was not an entirely new design but essentially a hybrid comprised of AJS 7R-based cycle parts into which was installed a tuned Matchless G9 roadster engine. The engine's bottom-end remained more-or-less stock G9 and retained AMC's unique centre-bearing crankshaft, but above the crankcase there was a new aluminium-alloy cylinder barrel and 'head, the latter sporting distinctively finned exhaust rocker boxes. Fuel was supplied by a single Amal TT carburettor and exhausted via short, megaphone-ended pipes.In 1952 the prototype G45 garnered much valuable publicity and not a little controversy when Derek Farrant - later an AJS works rider on both Porcupine and 7R3 - won the Senior Manx Grand Prix after leading from start to finish. Strictly speaking, a works prototype had no business running in an event for amateurs riding over-the-counter machines, but AMC quickly announced that a production G45 would be available for 1953.Apart from revised valve gear and the eventual adoption of a forged crankshaft, the G45 changed little over the course of its life and what developments there were did not keep pace with the opposition. At the end of the 1954 season, AMC announced a cutback in its racing programme, which meant the end for the Porcupine and the 7R3, though the G45 and 7R continued to be developed and raced. Production of the G45 ceased in 1957 after around 80 machines had been built, of which approximately half are believed to survive worldwide today. Before then, the works team's best result at international level with the G45 had been Rod Coleman's 2nd place in the 1954 Ulster Grand Prix.Previously road-registered in Austria, this rare Matchless G45 has been registered in the UK since 1999 (incorrectly) as '750cc' and '1956'. However, the vendor has uncovered the Reynolds Tube Company stamping on the frame indicating that it is in fact of 1953 manufacture. Len Haggis had brought the Matchless back to the UK in 1998/1999 having purchased it in Austria from collector Gerhard Tempel. The G45 had been delivered new from Matchless to an Austrian buyer and was actively campaigned on circuits throughout Europe, where the G45 was a popular mount in period (riders unknown).On repatriation, the Matchless was sold to a Mr Maslen of Horley, Surrey, who road registered the machine with the first MoT issued on 5th August 1999. At some point it was sold on to a Mr Searle of Loughton, Essex and later on was re-acquired by Mr Maslen. The current vendor, a prominent UK-based private collector and classic racer, purchased the machine from Verrall's of Handcross in 2010. The Matchless is now CRMCC registered (no.110454).The original magnesium front hub having cracked, a new front wheel has been built by Conway's using a new Molnar hub, brake, rim and spokes (the original wheel is included in the sale). Last campaigned at Cadwell Park in 2010 and briefly run in 2020, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most beautiful and desirable British racing motorcycles ever made.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

1979 BMW 785cc R80/7 ProjectRegistration no. DRC 688TFrame no. 6030330Engine no. 6030330BMW's first 'R80' (nominally 800cc) model was the R80/7 introduced in 1977. Like its 750cc R75/7 predecessor, the R80/7 was powered by BMW's traditional air-cooled flat-twin engine coupled to low-maintenance shaft final drive transmission. Engineered to BMW's customarily high standards, the R80/7 was far from cheap and at £1,999 (in 1978) cost around 40% more than Yamaha's similarly shaft-driven XS750 tourer. Currently displaying a total of 39,366 miles on the odometer, this partly dismantled R80/7 was purchased in the 1990s in running condition from a dealer in Nottingham. The machine was used for some years before mechanical issues meant it had to be taken off the road. It should be noted that various components have been removed or are loosely fitted, and that the machine's mechanical condition is not known. Sold on account of the vendor's ill health, the machine is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. Offered with a V5C document.

1956 BMW 257cc R26Registration no. SXB 587 Frame no. 341393Engine no. 341393This BMW R26 was acquired by its late owner in 2015.

Some work was obviously ongoing, because offered with the machine are a pair of newly painted mudguards, a tail-light, an apparently new dual seat etc. Also supplied are various invoices, photocopies, an original repair manual, and a V5C, which with various other photocopies enable all 5 previous owners to be identified. Robert Tucker, the first owner, apparently kept it for 35 years, and there are some lovely period photos which indicate that he used it in long distance trials between 1958 and 1964. The recorded mileage is 16933. After a period of inactivity re-commissioning will be required before further use.

This 400 4 was acquired in 2014 from the late Howard German, the well-known vintage racer. Little more is known of the history of this example, but a friend of the late owner recalls that it was last ridden about 2 years ago and says that at that time it was apparently running well, with a quiet engine.

Ex-Jason Griffiths 2000 Triumph TT600 Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. SMTTH800SXY104578Engine no. 104885•One of the first racing TT600s•Ridden by Jason Griffiths•Part of the Phil Morris Collection since 2001It was inevitable, given the design's obvious potential, that Triumph's TT600 would be raced in the Supersport class. One of the first to do so was Manx-resident Welshman Jason Griffiths, a recognised 'roads' specialist whose one-man team was run by ex-racer Tom Dickie and sponsored by General Guarantee Finance Ltd. Jason had already assisted with the TT600's international riding launch back in February 2000, setting up the machines for the attending journalists. Run and developed with factory's blessing, the machine used for Jason's racing effort is that offered here. The highlight of what was effectively a development year was Jason's 116.84mph lap at the Isle of Man TT (from a standing start) in June 2000. In the race an electrical fault brought the Triumph to a halt. Later in the year Jason claimed pole position at the Gold Cup meeting at Oliver's Mount, Scarborough, and in the race finished 2nd. At the same track's 'Cock o' the North' meeting in July, he had bagged a 1st and a 3rd on the Triumph. At the season's end the Triumph was returned to the factory before being sold off with its original engine refreshed. Documents on file show that it was invoiced by Triumph to Bill Smith Motors on 25th June 2001 and then by BSM to Phil Morris on 17th July 2001. Offered with a substantial history file.

1978 Honda 174cc CD175Registration no. HCX 517SFrame no. CD175-4049675Engine no. CD175E-4051196In 1964, Honda's 150 engine was increased to 160 for the CB160, and subsequently, in 1967, the capacity was further enlarged for the CD175, a model which became a mainstay of the range, being an indispensable commuter's machine. This example dates from the last year of production for the model. The deceased owner acquired HCX 517S in 1980, 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 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, 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

Property of a deceased's estate c.1975 Montesa 306cc Cota 348 TrialsRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 51 M0201Engine no. to be advisedFounded in the mid-1940s in Barcelona, Montesa entered road racing in the early 1950s but its major impact on motorcycle sport would be away from the tarmac, the Scorpion and Capra moto-crossers and Cota trials being the equal of any of their contemporaries. Developed by the factory test rider Pedro Pi, Montesa's first trials machine arrived in 1967 and the following year Pi won the Spanish Trials Championship on one, now re-titled 'Cota'. In 1974 the original 250cc Cota was succeeded by the Rathmell-developed Cota 348 (actually 306cc capacity) which featured a six-speed gearbox and weighed in at around 195lb. An affordable entry into Twin-Shock trials competitions, this Cota 348 was purchased somewhere between 2010 and 2015 and last ran prior to 2016. Its mechanical condition is not known and thus the machine is sold strictly as viewed.

It is supplied with a V5C registration document and a 2009 invoice from Royal Enfield specialists, Hitchcocks, for various gaskets, an oil filter element, and a new primary chain.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1954 FB Mondial 200cc SportRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 3240Engine no. 3240Few marques have achieved so fine a competition record in so short a time as FB Mondial, whose period at the pinnacle of Grand Prix racing encompassed the years 1949-51 plus a gloriously successful comeback in 1957. Mondial was founded in the aftermath of WW2 by the Boselli family, whose first venture into powered transport had been with the F B (Fratelli Boselli) three-wheeled delivery van in the 1930s. The name 'Mondial' first appeared on a motorcycle in 1948 when the Bosellis introduced a revolutionary double-overhead-camshaft 125cc racer. Mondial's miniature masterpiece duly brought the Bologna manufacturer its first World Championship the following year and proved equally dominant in 1950 and '51. After a relatively lean spell, Mondial returned to Grand Prix glory in 1957, taking both the 125cc and 250cc World Championships. Not surprisingly, Mondial's passion for racing rubbed off on its road range, which was exquisitely engineered and beautifully constructed in a manner unmistakably Italian. This 200cc Sport was restored by Helmut Lichtenberg (circa €3,500 spent on paintwork alone) with some work done by Fritz Egli. The machine was purchased circa 2003 from a Mr Bruno Ciacci (believed from Imola). The frame is additionally stamped 'M2440' and the engine is additionally stamped '3186'. Beautifully presented, having covered only 743 kilometres since restoration, the machine is offered with a German Fahrzeugbrief and expired TüV (MoT) certificate/correspondence.

Not that the XJ's arrival was without hiccup though, as the original's handlebar-mounted nose fairing contributed to frightening high-speed instability that was only cured with the introduction of a frame-mounted version for '84.
