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. Offered without documents.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
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
1951 Sunbeam 489cc S8Registration no. PHA 363Frame no. S8-3354Engine no. S8-5423Designed in wartime, 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 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 S8 was first registered to Chas E Cope & Sons Ltd of Edgbaston, Birmingham and sold new to one John Albert Taylor of Hagley, Stourbridge. 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. Offered with an old-style V5.

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. There are no documents with this relatively early pushrod-engined example.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
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).

Triumph 649cc 'Warbird' SprinterEngine no. to be advisedThis dramatic looking sprinter consists of a 649cc Triumph 'pre-unit' engine and Norton/AMC gearbox mounted in a home-built frame, the top tube of which also serves as the fuel tank. 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

c.1966 Triumph 649cc T110 SprinterEngine no. T110 54580Looking very much 'of the period', this circa 1960s sprinter consists of a 649cc Triumph T110 'pre-unit' engine and AMC gearbox mounted in a home-built frame. This machine was campaigned by George Coles, who also rode lightweight, predominantly two-stroke sprinters in the 1970s towards the end of his competitive career. The nosecone carries stickers from the Isle of Man, suggesting that it may have been used in the Ramsey Sprint.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
c.1971 Ducati 160cc Monza JuniorRegistration no. PVV 75JFrame no. F28778Engine no. 25999DM160A scaled down version of Ducati's 250cc Monza single, the exquisite Monza Junior was introduced to the UK market in 1967. Like its larger brother, the Junior was powered by a Ducati's proven single-overhead-camshaft engine, though unlike later desmodromic models, valve closure was by springs. A four-speed gearbox was fitted, and the diminutive Junior could top 70mph, while 100mpg was achievable when ridden with restraint. Production ceased in 1969, though some dealers were still clearing stocks a year or more later. Briefly registered in Guernsey (in 1997), this Ducati Monza Junior was sold to a new owner by Two Wheels of Farnborough on 21st August 1998. Accompanying documentation includes the Guernsey logbook and the 1998 purchase receipt. The registration 'PVV 75J' is listed in the HPI database; however, the purchaser will have to apply for a new V5C Registration Certificate following the machine's export from the UK.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

1955 Vincent Black Knight BodyworkIt was Philip Vincent's belief that provision of ample weather protection, combined with enclosure of engine and gearbox, would make the Vincent Series D the ultimate 'gentleman's motorcycle'; though delayed delivery of the glassfibre panels - plus continuing demand for traditionally-styled models - resulted in over half the production leaving the Stevenage factory in un-enclosed form. The enclosed Rapide and Black Shadow were known as the Black Knight and Black Prince respectively. But by the time manufacture of Vincent's final range commenced in March 1955 the company was already in financial difficulty. When production ceased in December that year, around 460 Series D v-twins had been built, some 200 of which were enclosed models.

1981 Benelli 250 QuattroRegistration no. HRX 74WFrame no. BH 10164Engine no. BH 5087Revitalised following its take-over in 1971 by Argentine industrialist Alejandro de Tomaso, Benelli launched a range of new four- and six-cylinder sports bikes. First of these Honda-inspired machines was the 500 Quattro of 1974, which despite its Oriental-looking power unit was thoroughly Italian in all other respects, boasting a rigid cradle frame, powerful Grimeca drum brakes and alloy wheel rims. Smallest of the range was the 250 (actually 231cc) Quattro which, when deliveries commenced in 1979, was the most expensive 250 on sale in Britain. Stunningly styled and built like a watch, the high-revving lightweight had a top speed of over 90mph. Acquired for the collection in 2004, the Quattro offered here comes with a factory workshop manual; some expired MoTs; a V5C document; and an HPI check sheet. It should be noted that the latter records the machine as an insurance write-off.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

PC *027233*Moto Guzzi's long-running, 90-degree, v-twin engine layout was retained for a new range of Lino Tonti-designed middleweights planned during the 1970s. The v-twin Guzzi in scaled-down form debuted as the V35/V50 in 1976, though deliveries were limited until the Innocenti car factory - like Guzzi, owned by Alesandro De Tomaso - had been re-equipped for motorcycle production. Lightweight and compact, characteristics that endeared it to smaller riders, Guzzi's little v-twins were economical, well engineered and handled superbly; top speeds were 90mph-plus (V35) and 100mph-plus (V50). This V35 II was sold new in Italy and first registered in the UK in 1991 (copy Italian libretto on file). Last taxed in 2014 and acquired for the collection in February 2016, the machine is offered with numerous bills; a V5C Registration Certificate; and a quantity of MoTs (most recent expired 2013).Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1930 Douglas 348cc A31Registration no. CV 3856Frame no. none visibleEngine no. EV 1135Winner of the inaugural Isle of Man Sidecar TT in 1923 when he rode the legendary Douglas 'banking' sidecar outfit, ace rider/engineer Freddie Dixon began a fruitful association with the Bristol-based firm in the early 1920s, and in 1925 took up a technical post within the company where one of his first commissions was the design of the S5 and S6 models. Launched at the 1929 Olympia Show, the 'Dixon Douglases' set new standards of quietness and refinement for the motorcycle industry. Of advanced design, the duo featured sidevalve engines with detachable cylinder heads, fully enclosed valve gear, dry-sump lubrication, cast-in inlet manifolding for better cold starting, gear-driven 'pancake' dynamo, and unusually long service intervals. Although he left Douglas early in 1930, Dixon's hand was clearly behind its 1931 range. The new A31 carried on the themes of usability and refinement established by the S5/S6. A lightweight machine weighing in below the 224lb taxation limit then in force, it sold for £41 complete with full electric lighting equipment. First registered on 30th December 1930, this A31 was acquired for the collection in November 2009. The accompanying old-style buff logbook (issued 1958) lists the frame number as 'FC 449' and records a change of engine from 'EV 290' to 'EV 1135'. An older restoration, the machine is offered with assorted correspondence; old/current V5/V5C registration documents; and three MoTs (most recent expired 2004).Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1957 Douglas 348cc DragonflyRegistration no. OSJ 650Frame no. none visibleEngine no. 2274/6An extensively redesigned flat twin replaced Douglas's earlier models in 1955. Known as the Dragonfly, the newcomer featured a revised engine with stronger crankcase, single carburettor, alternator electrics and coil ignition. The duplex swinging-arm frame employed conventional Girling dampers in place of the preceding torsion bar set-up, while the old Radiadraulic front fork was dropped in favour of an Earles-type leading-link arrangement. The large headlamp nacelle extending back to the five-gallon fuel tank was a distinctive feature, though one of dubious practical merit as the light unit did not turn with the handlebars. Douglas's final model, the Dragonfly did not receive the development it deserved, production ceasing in March 1957 following the company's take-over by Westinghouse. Formerly registered 'TYR 153', this example is offered with two V5C Registration Certificates in the previous keeper's name.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1959 Norton 596cc 'Dominator 99' (see text)Registration no. Q734 CPFFrame no. P13 80712Engine no. 95938Norton's 500cc twin-cylinder engine first appeared in the racing singles' Featherbed frame in November 1951 as the Model 88. Introduced for 1956, the 596cc Model 99 was outwardly identical to its smaller brother. Endowed with greater power and higher gearing that enabled it to top the magic 'ton', the 99 retained all the excellent handling and steering characteristics associated with the Featherbed chassis. This Dominator 99 has the frame of a Model 50 (350cc single) dating from 1959; an engine from circa 1961; and a non-standard rear wheel complete with 'knobbly' tyre, which appears to be from an off-roader of some kind. The machine is offered with an old V5 document and an expired MoT (1989).

NHU 114Frame no. 9019 (see text)Engine no. 9019/5'The popular model in the specialist range of 350cc machines, the Mark 'V' represents one of the most highly developed models in the Industry and has no rival for the motor-cyclist who needs efficiency, comfort, reliability and prefect road-holding.' – Douglas (Sales & Service) Ltd. Douglas's one-model range was improved by legendary racer/designer Freddie Dixon for 1948, re-emerging in revised form as the 'MkIII'. The latter featured new cylinder heads and a stronger frame, while 1950 saw the introduction of the interim MkIV model with its distinctive triangular toolboxes, frame-mounted pillion footrests and un-sprung front mudguard. The arrival of the 80 Plus and 90 Plus sports roadsters led to the preceding 'standard' and 'sports' distinctions being dropped, the 'standard' roadster becoming the 'MkV'. Introduced in November 1950, the MkV was mechanically almost identical to the MkIV, though readily distinguishable by virtue of its different exhaust system. This MkV was purchased for the collection at Bonhams' Stafford sale in April 2009 (Lot 282) and was described at that time as 'running very well and, being a local machine ...ridden to the sale'. Zero miles have been recorded, presumably since restoration. Accompanying paperwork includes some expired MoTs: an old-style V5C document; an invoice for a magneto rebuild; and two BMS reproduction workshop manuals. It should be noted that the frame number has been re-stamped.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1957 Sunbeam 489cc S7Registration no. MLN 449Frame no. S7 5129Engine no. S8 13636 (see text)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. Never as popular as BSA's more performance orientated models, the gentlemanly S7 and S8 remained in production until 1957. This S7 comes with an expired MoT (1982); an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1964); and a V5C Registration Certificate. It should be noted that the latter still records the former engine number, 'S8 7131'.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

W41/G3L/F1Engine no. 52/G80 22239Weighing as much as the 500cc model from which most of them were derived, but considerably less powerful, the typical British 350 of the 1940s/1950s 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 essential respects, tank badge and magneto position excepted. Coded Model 18 (AJS) and G80 (Matchless), the two 500cc versions shared the same 93mm stroke as their 350cc brethren, combined with an 82.5mm bore. The machine offered here incorporates the frame from a military G3L dating from circa 1941 and a 497cc engine from a 1952 Matchless G80.

AMC's offerings in this important market sector were the Matchless G3L and AJS Model 16, models identical in all essential respects, tank badge and magneto position excepted. Although registered in 1958 (according to the accompanying V5C), this machine's engine dates from 1947, while the rigid frame appears to be of the same period.

1957 Matchless 498cc G9Registration no. not registeredFrame no. A53535Engine no. 57/G9 50339Like 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. Progressively developed, the motor underwent a number of capacity increases, finally arriving at 646cc in 1958 with the launch of the AJS Model 31 and Matchless G12. Production of the 500cc models ceased in 1961 and that of the 650s in 1966. There are no documents with this G9, which is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1958 Greeves 197cc 20TA Scottish TrialsRegistration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. 9027/TAEngine no. 071B53965Greeves' unorthodox trademarks of a cast beam 'downtube' and rubber-in-torsion leading-link fork proved adaptable to almost all forms of motorcycle from humble commuter to clubman's road-racer, but it was the firm's off-road products that really put it on the map. The off-road range was extensively revised for 1958, gaining new frames with increased ground clearance together with a narrower rear sub-frame and swinging arm. Villiers' 197cc 9E sports engine was used for both the Scottish trials and Hawkstone scrambler, suitably modified to suit the particular application. The name 'Scottish' had been adopted following Jack Simpson's victory in the Scottish Six Days Trial's 200cc category in 1957. The Scottish offered here is fitted with the earlier 8E engine unit, the '071B' prefix identifying it as having been supplied to Francis-Barnett. It should also be noted that the registration '660 FPF' has lapsed and is no longer associated with this motorcycle. Offered with an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1974).Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1966 Royal Enfield 248cc Continental GTRegistration no. EWL 427DFrame no. 72732Engine no. GT15528The policy of including as standard all the performance-orientated 'extras' that customers might want to fit later (pioneered on the Continental) was an enormous success, and this concept was extended further by the Crusader's ultimate development - the Continental GT - which arrived in November 1964. For his £270 the GT owner got clip-on 'bars, rear-set footrests, racing-style glassfibre tank, and 'bacon slicer' brake cooling discs up front, in addition to an extra 1.5bhp. With its café racer styling, brisk performance and excellent handling, the GT was every young motorcyclist's dream and a well-deserved success for Royal Enfield. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, this Continental GT comes with its purchase receipt (1987), photocopy V5 document, and an old-style V5C Registration Certificate.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1958 Royal Enfield 248cc CrusaderRegistration no. USY 778Frame no. 10794Engine no. 2387 and S 4909Introduced in 1956, the all-new Crusader 250 was unusual in having a unitary construction engine at a time when most British machines still employed a separate gearbox, and in placing the camshaft drive outboard of the primary chain on the engine's left-hand side. The gears were housed in their own compartment at the rear of the streamlined crankcase casting, which also contained the engine oil tank in typical Enfield fashion. The cycle parts consisted of an open-type swinging-arm frame, telescopic front fork and 17' wheels at front and rear. Over the next decade numerous variations were produced on the Crusader theme, culminating in the Continental GT of 1964. Owned by the collection since March 2006, this Crusader is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

2008 Royal Enfield 350cc BulletRegistration no. LJ08 BXUFrame no. ME3BABSB47C731048Engine no. 7B731048KRoyal Enfield revived the Bullet name in 1948 for a sensational new 350cc sports bike with swinging-arm rear suspension. The newcomer featured an overhead-valve engine that housed its dry-sump oil tank in a compartment in the rear of the crankcase, to which the four-speed gearbox was rigidly bolted in a form of semi-unitary construction. Production of both 350 and 500 Bullets ceased in 1962, though the model was taken up for manufacture under licence in India in the 1970s and continues in production there in much-improved form today. We are advised that this Indian-built Bullet has covered only 12 miles from new. The machine was sold new to the collection in March 2008 by Richardson's Motorcycles of Ripley, Surrey and has recorded only 12 miles since delivery (purchase invoice on file). The machine is is offered with an owner's manual and old/current V5C Registration Certificates.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1958 AJS 348cc Model 16 TrialsRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 8185CEngine no. 58/16M 1965CUsing models based on the wartime Matchless G3 military machine, Associated Motor Cycles dominated the UK trials scene in the years immediately after WW2. Stars such as Hugh Viney and Gordon Jackson riding for AJS, and Artie Ratcliffe and Ted Usher for Matchless won countless national events while clubmen everywhere favoured the Plumstead marques' products more than those of any of their rivals. Important steps in the evolution of AMC's trials models included revised steering geometry, an alloy cylinder barrel and 'head, and a lightweight all-welded frame. Introduced for the 1954 season, the latter remained rigid at the rear despite evidence that a 'springer' worked better. In the event, AMC's first attempt at a sprung frame was not an unqualified success, but the much-revised chassis of 1958 worked much better and was further improved by a switch to shorter rear dampers in 1961. And although a 500cc model was offered until the early 1950s, the works boys always favoured the milder and more easily managed 350, as did the vast majority of customers. A 1958 model, this Model 16 Trials was first registered in the Isle of Man on 12th November 1957. The machine comes with its original IoM logbook; however, the registration '810 KMN' is assigned to another vehicle and is no longer offered with the machine.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
2004 Royal Enfield 350cc BulletRegistration no. OU04 SYVFrame no. ME35ABDB43C630712Engine no. 3-B-630712HRoyal Enfield revived the Bullet name in 1948 for a sensational new 350cc sports bike with swinging-arm rear suspension. The newcomer featured an overhead-valve engine that housed its dry-sump oil tank in a compartment in the rear of the crankcase, to which the four-speed gearbox was rigidly bolted in a form of semi-unit construction. Confusingly, this Bullet's accompanying MoT check sheet records some 'mileage' totals in miles and others in kilometres, the most recent entry being dated 6th May 2014 at 8,699km, while the totals indicate a possible change of speedometer. The machine was acquired by the last registered keeper in December 2014 and is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate. It should be noted that a clerical error has resulted in the engine number being incorrectly recorded in the V5C.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1949 MV Agusta 125cc TEL SportFrame no. 17011/2Engine no. 17047 S/2Although best known for their racing and road-going four-cylinder four-strokes, MV-Agusta built lightweights throughout its manufacturing career, and in its early days listed small two-strokes and even a scooter. Indeed, one of the marque's earliest Grand Prix results - 5th place in the Dutch 125 round in 1950 - was achieved by a two-stroke. Much better engineered than any British contemporary, the 125cc TEL 'stroker' was powered by a neat unitary construction single-cylinder engine which, somewhat unusually for a post-war design, featured detachable transfer ports. The cycle parts comprised a twin-downtube swinging-arm frame and girder forks. Believed an older restoration or partially restored, this imported TEL displays a total of 13,883km on the odometer and has been signed on the tank by Giacomo Agostini (photograph on file). The engine turns over with compression. This machine achieved 2nd place at the MV Concours at the 'Festival of 1000 Bikes' in 2019, being highly regarded on account of its un-restored and original condition. There is an Italian tax disc (expired December 1956) in the holder but no import paperwork with this Lot. The vendor has had the machine running recently.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1958 MV Agusta 125cc Turismo Rapido ExtraFrame no. 636996Engine no. 636702After the launch of its first production four-stroke - a 175cc, overhead-camshaft, unit-construction single - MV followed up in 1954 with the similar - although overhead-valve - Gran Turismo 125. Superseded in 1955 by the Turismo Rapido, featuring a revise rear sub-frame and a dual seat in place of its predecessor's sprung saddle, the model remained in production until 1958. Like their larger siblings, the small MVs were very expensive: at around £200 the Turismo Rapido cost as much as a British 500, which explains why so few of these the exquisitely engineered little bikes were sold in the UK. This Turismo Rapido Extra was stripped and restored in 2019; sadly, the owner died before he was able to finish it. The MV appears complete apart from lacking a speedometer, tank transfers, and some electrical wiring. The engine turns over with compression and the gears engage, and the machine would respond well from detailing. There is no import paperwork or any other documentation with this Lot. The vendor has had the machine running recently.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1950 MV Agusta 125cc Racing Motorcycle ProjectFrame no. 11069Engine no. removedAlthough best known for their racing and road-going four-cylinder four-strokes, MV-Agusta built lightweights throughout its manufacturing career, and in its early days listed small two-strokes and even a scooter. Indeed, one of the marque's earliest Grand Prix results - 5th place in the Dutch 125 round in 1950 - was achieved by a two-stroke. Much better engineered than any British contemporary, the 125 MV was powered by a neat unitary construction single-cylinder engine which, somewhat unusually for a post-war design, featured detachable transfer ports. The cycle parts comprised a twin-downtube swinging-arm frame and girder forks. The machine offered here appears to consist of the cycle parts of an early 'Motore Lungo' (also known as the 'Carter Lungo') competition model and the four-speed engine from a TEL roadster (see 'MV Agusta' by Colombo/Patrignani, pages 131-132 and 134-135).

Much better engineered than any British contemporary, the 125cc TEL was powered by a neat unitary construction single-cylinder engine which, somewhat unusually for a post-war design, featured detachable transfer ports. The cycle parts comprised a twin-downtube swinging-arm frame equipped with blade-type girder forks. Imported at date unknown, this cosmetically restored TEL turns over with compression and selects gears (there is no speedometer). Accompanying documentation consists of a NOVA Acknowledgement and a photocopy of the Identificazione e Caratteristiche del Motociclo, both of which list the frame number as '024509' (not '024509/12' as found on the frame).
