1960 Triumph 490cc 5TA Speed TwinRegistration no. 653 BLFFrame no. H19362Engine no. 5TA H19362When Triumph adopted unitary construction for its vertical twins, the 5TA Speed Twin - introduced in September 1958 - would be the second model of this new family, joining the 350cc Twenty One/3TA launched the previous year. The 500 closely followed the lines of its 350 predecessor, there being little to distinguish it mechanically apart from a larger bore, raised gearing, and a larger-section rear tyre. The controversial 'bathtub' rear enclosure introduced on the Twenty One was retained, and the Speed Twin came finished in the model's traditional Amaranth Red. This 5TA Speed Twin comes with its purchase receipt (1992), an expired MoT (1989), and an old-style V5C document. It should be noted that the HPI database records this vehicle as an Insurance Write Off (Damage); accordingly, it is sold strictly as viewed.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1961 Triumph 349cc 3TA/Twenty One (see text)Registration no. GEX 260Frame no. H23588 (see text)Engine no. 3TA H23588Triumph re-entered the 350 class in 1957 with the introduction of the Twenty One. Its arrival ushered in Triumph's unitary construction era, which saw the engine and gearbox, previously separate components, combined within a single structure. 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. This motorcycle's frame number appears to have been re-stamped, which may explain why, although a 3TA, it appears to be a Twenty One. Last taxed in July 2009, the machine would respond well to detailing. Accompanying documentation consists of old/current V5Cs; two MoTs (most recent expired 2009); and the original and continuation logbooks (both listing the model as '3TA').Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1963/1958 Triumph 349cc Tiger 90/Twenty One (See Text)Registration no. not registeredFrame no. H28230Engine no. 21S H5088Triumph 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 500cc version: the 5TA. The latter was first to undergo the 'sports' treatment - in the form of the Tiger 100A - the equivalent 350 not appearing until October 1962 when the Tiger 90 arrived. The 'baby' Tiger looked smart and went well too, its top speed under favourable conditions being a genuine 90mph. Believed to date from 1963, this Tiger 90 has been fitted with an earlier (circa 1958) engine and is offered for restoration.

c.1955/1952 Triumph 650cc Thunderbird ProjectRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 66835Engine no. 6T 32014Always a step ahead of their rivals, Triumph followed up the trend-setting Speed Twin 500 of pre-war days by being first in the field with a 650cc parallel twin. Announced in September 1949, the 650 Thunderbird was Triumph's response to demands for more power emanating from American racers and British sidecarists alike. When displayed at the Earls Court Show in October, the new twin featured the headlamp nacelle and fuel tank with luggage grid first seen the previous year. An interesting change to the Thunderbird for 1952 was the adoption of an SU carburettor in place of the original Amal, a specially prepared machine managing a staggering 155mpg at a steady 30mph on a factory organised economy run. Incorporating a 1955 frame and 1952 engine, this non-standard and incomplete example is offered for completion/restoration and sold strictly as viewed.

1957 Triumph 349cc Twenty OneRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. removedEngine no. 21 H418Triumph re-entered the 350 class in 1957 with the introduction of the Twenty One. Its arrival ushered in Triumph's unitary construction era, which saw the engine and gearbox, previously separate components, combined within a single structure. 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 machine's engine dates from 1957 but in the absence of a legible frame number it has not been possible to confirm the precise date of the cycle parts.

1969 Triumph 650cc TR6P SaintRegistration no. AMM 903HFrame no. DC17840Engine no. TR6P EC17937Originally intended as a dual-purpose model, the Trophy became more of a roadster as time passed, ending up, in effect, as a single-carburettor Bonneville. Triumph enjoyed a long history of providing machines to police forces around the world, and the Trophy-based Saint offered here was first registered to the Metropolitan Police in November 1969. The Triumph was sold to its first private owner in 1973 and almost immediately passed to the second private owner, a former police Traffic Control Officer, who appears to have kept it until 1995 (see letter on file). The machine displays a total of 42,469 miles on the odometer and is offered for re-commissioning. It comes with an owner's manual; some expired MoTs and tax discs; a current V5C document; and its original logbook recording a change of engine to the current 'EC17937'.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1967 Triumph 490cc T100T TigerRegistration no. PWP 256EFrame no. T100T H54441Engine no. T100T H54441Introduced for the 1960 season, the Tiger 100A was the first sports version of Triumph's unitary construction 500 twin, the 5TA. 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. By the end of the 1960s, changes to the Tiger 100 had included an improved frame with stiffened top tube, 12-volt electrics (along with the rest of the twins) and the adoption of a twin-leading-shoe front brake. This example of the now rarely encountered T100T was purchased for the collection from Cotswold Classics Ltd in August 2008 (receipt on file).

Triumph Tiger Cub 200cc Trials MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. T8059Engine no. T20 68539With the introduction of the 149cc Terrier in 1952, Triumph re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines. Trials and scrambles versions followed, and in 1959 Cub-mounted Roy Peplow's landmark victory in the Scottish Six Days Trial emphatically demonstrated that lightweights were not only competitive but also capable of winning major events. Brainchild of works rider Jim Alves, the trials version of the Tiger Cub had debuted in 1957 as the T20C and was steadily improved year by year, becoming the TR20 in 1962, until the Cub range was dropped by BSA-Triumph in 1967. The model's competitiveness in Pre-'65 events and the relative scarcity of genuine Trials Cubs has seen a number of road bikes converted for trials use in recent years, the very tidy example offered here being one such.

c.1932 Norton 490cc 16H ProjectRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 46049Engine no. 52842Norton relied on proprietary engines in its formative years - winning the inaugural Isle of Man TT with a Peugeot-engined machine - before introducing its own design of power unit in 1907. The long-stroke sidevalve single displaced 633cc and the new model it powered became known as the 'Big 4'. Smaller capacity versions followed and in 1911 the '500' adopted the classic 79x100mm bore and stroke dimensions that would characterise the half-litre (actually 490cc) Norton for the next 50 years. Norton's new sidevalve was among the fastest in its class, being the first machine under 500cc to be officially timed at over 70mph, which was some going for 1911. Small wonder that the slogan 'Unapproachable' began to be applied to the Norton singles at around this time.The 490cc engine was revised for 1914 and the following year gained a new, lower frame together with the option of a Sturmey Archer three-speed gearbox. When fitted with chain drive, the 490cc sidevalve single became the 'Model 16' in Norton's numbering system, and then changed to '16H' in 1921 when another new frame was introduced, again lower than its predecessor. Norton's trusty 16H sidevalve would be continuously up-dated for the next 30-plus years before taking its final bow - along with the Big 4 - in 1954. This 16H is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this Lot.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Racing Kneeler Sidecar OutfitRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. noneEngine no. T120R D15474According to the receipt on file (dated 23rd April 1995 when it was bought from Peter Kilner) this racing 'kneeler' outfit is believed to have been built by Owen Greenwood as a replica of the one he was racing. A motorcycle engineer from Leicestershire, Greenwood began his racing career on solos before switching to three wheels in the mid-1950s. One of the UK's foremost sidecar racers, he is best remembered for his controversial rule-busting Mini-based trike, which beat all comers for a couple of seasons in the mid-1960s before the authorities banned it. This Triumph Bonneville-engined kneeler was campaigned during the late 1960s/early 1970s by Bill Mumford of Romford, with sponsorship by Barking Brassware.

c.1938 Triumph 500cc Model 5/Tiger 90 (see text)Registration no. not registeredFrame no. 8131U1Engine no. 1.23.8748 (see text)Just as he had done at Ariel in the 1920s, Val Page transformed his employer's ageing range on his arrival as Triumph's Chief Designer in 1932. 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-gear covers - 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 brilliant stylist, Turner transformed the Page-designed overhead-valve singles by adopting sports specification engines, high level exhausts, chromed fuel tanks and a new name: 'Tiger'. At time of cataloguing it had not been possible to determine whether this machine is a Tiger 90 or one of the lesser Model 5 variants. There are no documents with this Lot and it appears that the engine number may have been re-stamped.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1946 AJS 497cc E90 'Porcupine' Grand Prix Racing MotorcycleFrame no. none visibleEngine no. 3-46•Ultra-rare 1940s Grand Prix racer•Acquired from former AJS works rider Ted Frend•On static display since restoration in the mid/late 2000sWhile statistics show that the Norton is Britain's most successful post-war Grand Prix racing motorcycle, that country's first success in the modern era's World Championships was achieved by another marque with an equally illustrious racing history: AJS. And the machine that carried Les Graham to his, and AJS's, first and only World Championship in 1949 was, of course, the legendary Porcupine. To this day the Porcupine remains the only twin-cylinder motorcycle to have won the 500cc World Championship. Conceived towards the end of WW2, the Porcupine was originally designed with forced induction in mind. Supercharged multi-cylinder engines had begun to threaten the single's supremacy towards the end of the 1930s and indeed, AJS themselves went down this road with their fearsome water-cooled V4. Fast yet difficult to handle, the latter had demonstrated that horsepower bought at the expense of excess bulk and weight was not the answer, so the thoughts of designer Vic Webb turned to a twin. Laying the cylinders almost horizontally with their 'heads facing forwards would ensure adequate cooling and a low centre of gravity, while at the same time providing room for the blower above the gearbox. When the FIM banned supercharging at the end of 1946 the design was too far advanced to be altered substantially, though the cylinder heads were revised to raise the compression ratio. Typed E90 but dubbed 'Porcupine' by the motorcycling press because of its distinctive spiked 'head finning, AJS's new challenger debuted at the 1947 Isle of Man TT in the hands of Les Graham and Jock West, the pair finishing 9th and 14th respectively after encountering a variety of problems. By way of consolation, West's best lap was only three seconds down on the fastest and showed that the bike had promise. The Porcupine's first race victory was achieved later that year by Ted Frend at the Hutchinson 100. Development continued throughout 1948, with a number of Grand Prix podium finishes and 18 world speed records among the season's highlights. The inaugural 500cc World Championship of 1949 consisted of six races, with victory going to Les Graham at the Swiss and Ulster Grands Prix. Bill Doran won the Belgian GP to assure AJS of the manufacturers' title, while Graham's two wins were enough to take the riders' championship from Gilera's Nello Pagani.Many years later, AJS works rider Ted Frend - the first rider to win on the bike - recalled that carburetion had been the Porcupine's biggest problem, perhaps not surprising given that it had been designed for a supercharger, and over the years a bewildering number of different induction arrangements were tried. The E90 was also bedevilled by magneto shaft failure - the cause of Graham's retirement from the lead of the '49 Senior TT just when two minutes from the finish - a problem that would not be solved until chain drive for the magneto was adopted on the revised E95 engine.Introduced in 1952, the E95 engine had its cylinders tilted upwards at 45 degrees, an arrangement that called for a new frame, and featured a pressed-up crankshaft with one-piece connecting rods and roller big-ends in place of the E90's one-piece 'shaft and shell-type bearings. Its distinctive spike fins had gone, but the 'Porcupine name stuck. The E95 enjoyed a dream debut, new recruit Jack Brett and Bill Doran finishing 1st and 2nd respectively at the season-opening Swiss Grand Prix, with New Zealand star Rod Coleman in 5th place. Another new addition to the AJS team for '52, Coleman had first been given an E90 to try at the '51 Ulster GP and followed that up with a strong showing at the Grand Prix Des Nations at Monza. 'In the race it was quite definitely faster than the Nortons and I had little problem getting past Geoff (Duke) and Ken (Kavanagh) with just three Gileras only a short distance ahead,' Rod recalls in his book, The Colemans. 'I did get with them and found again that the Porcupine was just as fast as the Gileras but was down a little on acceleration from the slower corners, but not by much. I was just beginning to think I had every chance of second place behind Milani when the motor stopped.' The cause? Yet another magneto shaft failure. For 1954 the E95 Porcupine and works 'triple-knocker' 7R3 350 single gained new pannier-style fuel tanks which extended down on either side of the engine, thus lowering the centre of gravity and affording a measure of streamlining at the same time. The downside was the need for a pump to raise fuel to the carburettors, and a complicated delivery system that involved mechanics standing the bike on its rear wheel to prime the header tank for starting! Jack Williams took over the race team that year and the result of his development was a much smoother engine, which now produced a maximum of 54bhp at 7,800rpm. Bob McIntyre, Derek Farrant and Rod Coleman were the riders, the latter providing the Porcupine with its best international results of the season, placing 2nd in Ulster and winning the Swedish Grand Prix. Other riders to swing a leg over the Porcupine during its short career include Bill Lomas, Robin Sherry and Reg Armstrong.Sadly, 1954 would prove to be the Porcupine's swansong year, AJS withdrawing from direct involvement in Grand Prix racing at the season's end. Between 1949 and 1954, Porcupines finished 24 races with five wins, seven 2nd places and one World Championship. In total, only four complete E90 and four E95 machines were built, plus an unknown number of spare engines. With the exception of the E95 acquired later by Tom Arter, they were raced only by the works team and never offered for public sale. Perhaps surprisingly, all four E95s survive today in private ownership. When Ted Frend died in 2006, his close friend and neighbour Ken Senior bought all of Ted's motorcycling-related possessions from the executors of his estate, which included loose photographs, negatives, albums, books, letters, trophies, tools, motorcycle parts, etc. (Some of Ted's TT trophies and photographs are offered in this sale - see Lots 512 - 522). The purchase also included Ted's road going Triumph and the Porcupine, which came to Ken as a collection of parts. It is not known whether Ted obtained a complete machine from AJS and then dismantled it, or whether he acquired it in component form. Born in 1916 in South London, Edward 'Ted' Frend completed an apprenticeship in sheet-metal fabrication at Hawker Aircraft (later Hawker Siddeley) and then joined General Aircraft at Feltham. He was soon taking part in motorcycle competitions and made his first impact on the sport following the purchase of a Vincent-HRD Rapide Series-A, on which he lapped the Brooklands track at 110mph, earning himself a coveted 'Gold Star' for exceeding 'the ton'. Riding a Norton, Ted finished 4th in the 1947 Isle of Man TT, a result that earned him a place in the AJS works team, riding the E90 Porcupine in 500cc events and the new 350cc AJS 7R in the Junior class. Like many of his contemporaries, Ted was an all-rounder, competing in trials, scrambles, grass-track and hill climbs as well as road racing. On his works debut in 1948, Ted gave the E90 Porcupine its first win: at the BMCRC 100-mile race at Dunholme Lodge, a former RAF airbase in Lincolnshire. Interviewed by Bob Shilling for the now defunct, and much missed, Classic Motorcycling Legends magazine (No. 37) Ted recalled: 'Les Graham and I had a terrific scrap but Les' magneto packed up so I cruised home the winner. I rode for AJS from then until the end of 1950. My racing was a sideline to my business...' Ted's business w... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1960 AJS 646cc Model 31Registration no. XWO 379Frame no. A68783Engine no. 59/31L 09735When announced in 1948, the AJS Model 20 and equivalent Matchless G9, while following the established pattern of British parallel twins, were unusual in having an engine with a third, central, crankshaft main bearing. The new 498cc power unit was housed in the sprung frame recently introduced to the heavyweight singles line-up. Progressively developed, the motor underwent a number of capacity increases, finally arriving at 646cc in the autumn of 1958 with the launch of the AJS Model 31 and Matchless G12. Well-finished, stylish and deservedly popular despite lacking the performance image of certain rivals, the AMC twins were much missed after their demise in 1966. Apparently rebuilt by a previous owner some years ago (see hand-written note on file), this Model 31 Deluxe was purchased for the collection in 2004 and comes with an old-style V5C document.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1960 AJS 348cc Model 16Registration no. not registeredFrame no. A85563Engine no. 16/42534Weighing as much as the 500cc model from which most of them were derived, but considerably less powerful, the typical British 350 of the post-war era was not likely to be anyone's first choice as a fast sports bike. Rather, these honest, workaday mounts were chosen for other reasons, chiefly their inherent strength, dependability and economy. AMC's offerings in this important market sector were the Matchless G3L and AJS Model 16, models identical in all respects, tank badge excepted. Testing one of these stalwarts in 1961, Motor Cycling recorded a modest mean top speed of 76mph but found that when toured at a relaxed pace across country an excellent 86 miles per gallon was achievable. This example has the alternator electrics and coil ignition introduced for 1958. Nothing is known of the history of this particular machine, which is offered without documents and sold strictly as viewed.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1957 Matchless 498cc G9Registration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. 16117 (see text)Engine no. 57/G9 50345Like those of its major rivals, Associated Motor Cycles' parallel twin engine started life as a 500 before undergoing a number of capacity increases. Similarly, AMC's original 500cc offering would remain the sweetest of the many alternatives. Announced in 1948, the Matchless G9 and equivalent AJS Model 20, while following the established pattern of British parallel twins, were unusual in having a third, central, crankshaft main bearing. Production of the 500cc models ceased in 1961 and that of the 650s in 1966. Well-finished, stylish and deservedly popular, the AMC twins were much missed after their demise. The frame number of this G9 has been re-stamped and appears to read '16117'. This does not correspond with the frame number listed in the HPI database for the registration 'NTP 279' and thus the machine is offered without documents.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1959 Matchless 250cc G2Registration no. 436 KPKFrame no. 5092Engine no. 59G2 4572Associated Motor Cycles returned to the 250cc class in 1958 with a brace of all-new models. Shared by the AJS Model 14 and Matchless G2, the four-stroke, overhead-valve power unit incorporated its oil tank within the crankcase and appeared to be of unitary construction, although a separate gearbox was retained. The cycle parts comprised an open, tubular steel frame, closed at the bottom by a pressed-steel channel and complemented by a telescopic front fork and swinging-arm rear suspension. Super sports 'CSR' roadsters arrived in 1962 and continued in production after the basic G2/14 was dropped in July 1963, finally disappearing from the range in 1966. This G2 was last taxed in May 1965 and appears to have been preserved in remarkably original condition. The registration '436 KPK' is listed in the HPI database; nevertheless, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding.

1952 Sunbeam 489cc S7Registration no. SSL 610 (see text)Frame no. S7 6166Engine no. S7 298A wartime design by Erling Poppe, 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. This S7 comes with numerous invoices from marque specialists Stewart Engineering; a photocopy V5 registration document; some expired MoTs; and a Certificate of Permanent Export (exported 20/02/2004). The registration 'SSL 610' is recorded in the HPI database with an 'Export' marker. Accordingly prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding and will need to apply to the DVLA to retrieve the Vehicle Registration Number.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The original logbook records no further owners and has licensing stamps up to 1961. A receipt and hand-written note on file state that the Sunbeam had been bought for the collection in December 1988 as part of a house clearance, having been stored for many years, and that it had recorded under 13,000 miles at that time.

1969 Norton 646cc MercuryRegistration no. XUL 726HFrame no. 18 129302Engine no. 18SS 129302Norton launched its first 650cc twin, the US-market Manxman, in 1960. Available in Europe the following year as the Dominator 650, the newcomer was built in standard, De Luxe, and SS variants, all of which featured a new cylinder head with downdraft inlet ports and, on the sports models, twin Amal carburettors. With 49bhp on tap, plentiful low-down torque, and exemplary handling courtesy of its race-proven Featherbed frame, the 650SS was one of the outstanding sports motorcycles of the 1960s, being more than a match for Triumph's Bonneville in terms of all-round performance. The name changed to Mercury in September 1968 and production ceased early in 1970 after an estimated 750-or-so of this re-titled model had been built, most of which were exported to the USA. This Mercury was purchased as a restoration project from a UK auction in July 2015, described as 'garage stored during its last two ownerships' (catalogue on file). Offered for restoration, the machine displays a total of 18,962 miles on the odometer and was last taxed in October 1985. The front brake appears to be non-standard. Accompanying documentation consists of the 2015 purchase invoice and a V5C Registration Certificate.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Jawa 498cc DT500 Speedway MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. none visibleEngine no. 8994The British JAP engine's stranglehold on the speedway world loosened in the 1960s with the arrival of Czechoslovakian ESO machines. Founded in 1949, ESO specialised in speedway and other off-road competition motorcycles and was part of the Jawa-CZ group. In 1966 the ESO name was dropped, the firm's DT5 speedway model becoming the Jawa DT500 (or 500DT) Type 680, a machine that would come to dominate its sport until well in to the succeeding decade. In response to the four-valve Weslake engine, single- and double-overhead-camshaft engines were developed in the 1980s.

c.1980 Godden GR500 Grass-track Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. to be advisedEngine no. T.985One of the biggest names in grass-track racing history, Don Godden won several British national championships and in 1969 became European Longtrack Champion. A gifted engineer as well as talented rider, Godden designed and built his own DGS frames for the ubiquitous JAP engine and then, in 1975, was one of the first to fit the new Weslake four-valve motor. In 1978 he went one step further, manufacturing his own overhead-camshaft four-valve engine - the GR500 - which made it possible to offer complete Godden DGS machines for both speedway and grass-track racing. Since then, Goddens have won countless races and championships worldwide, including the World Individual Speedway Championship on three occasions (Hans Neilsen in 1986, 1987 and 1989) and the World Longtrack Championship twice (Shawn Moran in 1983 and Marcel Gerhard in 1992).

The machine is believed to have been built by the Baron (possibly Barron) family, who also experimented with car-engined sprint/drag bikes. At least one of these car-engined machines was called Warbird and it carried the same Iron Cross decal. The engine is obviously highly developed, featuring through-bolt location of the cylinder barrels and heads, and twin Wal Phillips fuel injectors.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1975 MV Agusta 350 SportRegistration no. KYC 609NFrame no. MV350BE 2160746Engine no. 2160812Although better known for their racing and road-going multi-cylinder machines, MV Agusta also built a range of stylish single- and twin-cylinder sports bikes throughout the 1950s, '60s and '70s. They were intermittently available in Britain throughout this period but were expensive and never top sellers. Introduced at the Milan Show in 1971, MV's first production 350 roadster was basically an over-bored version of the existing 250B model that had been around since 1967. Of unitary construction, the engine was a compact, twin-cylinder, overhead-valve unit featuring twin Dell'Orto carburettors, geared primary drive and a five-speed gearbox. Claimed maximum power was 28bhp at 7,600rpm and top speed in excess of 90mph. Two versions were made: the 350GT tourer and 350B sports, both of which were updated with 12-volt electrics and electronic ignition in October 1972. They were replaced by restyled, 'square case' 350 Sport/GT equivalents for 1975. The basic engine architecture remained unchanged, but power went up to 34bhp at 8,500 revs with a commensurate increase in performance. First registered in the UK in 1992, this 'square case' model has 25,990 kilometres recorded and would respond well to detailing. A receipt on file shows that the machine was purchased in 1999. Offered with old/current V5C documents.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
