Seeley 500cc G50 Replica Racing MotorcycleFrame no. R.M.T MK.2 259REngine no. MN2•Roger Titchmarsh frame•Minnovation Racing engine 92x75mm bore/stroke•TT Industries six-speed gearbox•Maxton suspensionMany-times British sidecar champion Colin Seeley bought Associated Motor Cycles' racing department when the company went into receivership in 1966. The previous year he had constructed the first Seeley racing frame to house a Matchless G50 engine, and the AMC purchase enabled him to produce complete Seeley G50 and 7R machines. With their improved frames, the ageing four-stroke singles enjoyed renewed competitiveness, Dave Croxford winning the British 500 Championship on a Seeley G50 in 1968 and '69. The Seeley frame progressed from the duplex cradle original to the similar but lighter Mark 2 before the down-tubes were abandoned with the Mark 3, the headstock and swinging arm pivot of which were linked solely by tubes running diagonally above the engine. Introduced in May 1971, the Mark 4 was lighter still, featuring a revised layout of thin-wall tubes, and continued in production until 1973. Production of Seeley frames was later licensed to Roger Titchmarsh and there have been countless unauthorised copies made over the years. Surely a potential winner in the right hands, this well specified and equally well put together Seeley G50 replica has been raced by Bob Light's sponsored riders Lancelot Unissart and before him Joop de Pol of the Netherlands. Built from a Minnovation Racing kit, the machine features a Roger Titchmarsh Mark 2 frame and a Minnovation 92-bore twin-plug engine, the latter alone costing in excess of £11,000. Other specification highlights include a TT Industries six-speed gearbox; Bob Newby belt primary drive; Electrex World electronic ignition; Scitsu rev counter; Menani drum brakes (double-sided 4LS at the front); and Maxton front and rear suspension. A spare sprint tank is included in the sale together with the fairing lower half. Re-commissioning will be required before this machine returns to the track.

Seeley 500cc Gold Star Replica Racing MotorcycleFrame no. R.M.T MK.2 214REngine no. noneMany-times British sidecar champion Colin Seeley bought Associated Motor Cycles' racing department when the company went into receivership in 1966. The previous year he had constructed the first Seeley racing frame to house a Matchless G50 engine, and the AMC purchase enabled him to produce complete Seeley G50 and 7R machines. With their improved frames, the ageing four-stroke singles enjoyed renewed competitiveness, Dave Croxford winning the British 500 Championship on a Seeley G50 in 1968 and '69. Manufacture ceased in 1973 and production of Seeley frames was later licensed to Roger Titchmarsh, while there have been countless unauthorised copies made over the years. This Seeley Gold Star features a Roger Titchmarsh Mark 2 frame and an engine prepared by Bob Light that is said to produce circa 52bhp. Other specification highlights include a magnesium-cased six-speed gearbox by TT Industries; belt primary drive; Dell'Orto carburettor; Electrex World electronic ignition; Scitsu rev counter; Minnovation fork yokes; Maxton front and rear suspension; KTM-type chain guide; and disc brakes front and rear gripped by Sumitomo (Yamaha) 'Blue Spot' callipers. This machine has been raced in countless CRMC events by Welshman Alex Sinclair with wins at Pembrey and Anglesey and podium finishes at Brands Hatch, Snetterton, etc. We are also advised that Dutchman Joop van der Pol won on the Seeley at Anglesey.

Bob Light Aermacchi 350cc Racing Motorcycle ProjectFrame no. noneEngine no. 6A10889H3Aermacchi is a household name among motorcyclists thanks to its heroic achievement of producing the most highly developed and successful overhead-valve racing single ever. However, from the late 1960s onwards the works concentrated on developing its new 250 two-stroke twin. In a vain attempt to combat the increasingly dominant strokers, some Aermacchi privateers turned to alternative frames, the Drixton products of Swiss rider turned frame-maker Othmar 'Marly' Drixl being among the most popular. Despite a lack of ultimate success in Grands Prix, the Aermacchi single was outstandingly successful at national level and today, having benefited from another five decades of development, remains a competitive force in historic motorcycle racing. This Aermacchi's Seeley-like frame has been manufactured by Bob Light from 1â…›' steel tubing. The engine features a forged piston and con-rod; fully balanced crankshaft; new valves, springs and caps; Joy cams; Gardner carburettor; and PVL electronic ignition. The electric starter is still in place, reflecting the wet-sump engine's roadster origins. Other noteworthy features include Honda wheels and brakes (CB72/K4 front/rear); Ceriani Grand Prix forks; Minnovation Racing billet fork yokes; Koni rear suspension; Gardner carburettor; Drixton-type seat; and a beautiful alloy sprint tank made by Clive Ling. Never run, this is an unfinished but potentially most rewarding project.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate 1915 Norton 633cc Big 4 Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. O 2559Frame no. 1527Engine no. none visibleHaving hitherto relied on proprietary engines, Norton introduced its own in 1907. The long-stroke (82x120mm) sidevalve single displaced 633cc and the new model it powered became known as the 'Big 4'. Smaller versions followed and in 1911 the '500' adopted the classic 79x100mm bore/stroke dimensions that would characterise the half-litre (actually 490cc) Norton for the next 50 years. Norton's sidevalves were revised for 1914 and in 1921 the Model 16, as it had become known, received a new lower frame, becoming the 16H. Considered by many to be an ideal sidecar 'tug', the Big 4 (and 16H) would be continuously updated for the next 30-plus years, many seeing service with Allied forces in WW2. Post-war, the Big 4 was revised with a shorter (113mm) stroke for a capacity of 597cc before taking its final bow, alongside the 16H, in 1954. This Big 4 comes with a detached reproduction sidecar chassis and wicker 'chair' in need of restoration. Photographs and correspondence on file suggest that the machine was restored circa 2010, and it is pictured in solo form at the VMCC's 'Festival of 1,000 Bikes' at Mallory Park in July 2011. Additional documentation includes an NOC dating letter; old-style continuation logbook (1963); assorted correspondence; restoration notes and diagrams; and an old-style V5C document. This motorcycle's condition, completeness, and correctness is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate c.1925 Norton 495.5cc Overhead-valve Special ProjectRegistration no. WU 3713Frame no. 6540Engine no. 7013Like the majority of its contemporaries, Norton relied on the sidevalve engine until the 1920s when the existing and well-tried 490cc unit was used as the basis for the firm's first overhead-valve design. After debuting on the racetrack, a road-going version - the Model 18 - was catalogued for 1923, quickly establishing a reputation for both speed and reliability. The Model 18 retained its essentially Vintage characteristics until 1931 when the range was extensively redesigned, dry-sump lubrication and rear-mounted magneto being standardised. Assumed by its late owner to be a Model 18, 'WU 3713' was first registered on 28th December 1925, its precise identity being unspecified on the accompanying old-style buff logbook (issued 1931), which merely lists the model as 'Norton'. Also on file is correspondence between the late owner and the DVLA concerning the frame's repair/replacement, the change being recorded on the accompanying V5C together with a change of engine. The latter's crankcase is stamped '72.5 x 120', indicating a capacity of 495.5cc, while the gearbox is stamped 'TT 1929' and 'CS145'. Norton never made a production model with those bore/stroke dimensions, yet the stamping appears original and in an appropriate font. A puzzle for the Norton historians!

CS39003•Offered for restoration•Believed to have been ridden by Douglas Lamb•Original Moore-designed CS1Like the majority of their contemporaries, Norton relied on the sidevalve engine until the introduction of its first overhead-valve design in 1922, and the resulting Norton Model 18 was a big success on the road. On the racetrack however, Velocette had shown the way forward when its overhead-camshaft KTT romped away from the field in the 1926 Junior TT, and Norton responded with its own similar engine the following year. Designed by Walter Moore, the Norton motor retained the firm's traditional 79x100mm bore and stroke dimensions, employing bevel gears and a vertical shaft to drive the cams in KTT fashion. The cycle parts too were new: a cradle frame and saddle tank appearing for the first time on the works CS1 racer, which scored a debut win in the 1927 Isle of Man Senior TT with Alec Bennett riding. The production version of the new CS1 duly appeared at the Motor Cycle Show later that same year.Towards the end of the 1930 season a new overhead-camshaft engine began to be seen in the works Nortons. Designed by Arthur Carroll, this replaced the original 'cammy' motor that had been drawn up by Walter Moore, recently departed for NSU, and first appeared in production Nortons made for the 1931 model year. The existing CS1 (490cc) and CJ1 (348cc) model designations were carried over from the Moore era, and the pair continued as Bracebridge Street's top-of-the-range sports roadsters until 1932 when the arrival of the competition-orientated International models saw them re-branded as refined sports-tourers. Today the original Moore-designed CS1 is one of the most sought after of all Norton motorcycles. Offered for restoration, this incomplete CS1 is believed to have been ridden by Douglas Lamb, who competed in the Isle of Man TT on three occasions: the Senior race in 1928 and 1929, and the Junior in 1929, Norton-mounted in each case. He died in June 1929 following a fatal crash in the Senior race (see VMCC correspondence, photographs, and photocopied press cuttings on file). This motorcycle's condition, completeness, and correctness is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. It should be noted that the frame number appears to have been stamped twice in different fonts. Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1938 Triumph 249cc Model 2H Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. none visibleEngine no. 8-2H 3S 11523Just as he had done at Ariel in the 1920s, Val Page transformed his employer's ageing range on his arrival at Triumph as 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. Suitably embellished with extra chrome, the latter formed the basis for Edward Turner's stylish Tiger models from 1936 onwards. Many of these Triumph singles were modified for racing both before WW2 and immediately afterwards; indeed, a Tiger 70 ridden by Bill McVeigh won the first Clubman's Lightweight TT in 1947, only to be disqualified when it was found that a re-bore had taken his engine fractionally over the 250cc limit!This 250cc Model 2H has been modified for Historic racing and represents a relatively inexpensive and cheap to run means of entering this popular and friendly form of motorcycle sport. The Triumph carries scrutineers' tags for the 1993 'Tributes to Surtees' event at Brands Hatch. The machine is offered with a folder containing correspondence and a BMS reproduction operating manual and spare parts list.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

ES42568Introduced at the 1927 Motor Cycle Show, the ES2 sports roadster used the Model 18's overhead-valve engine in the cradle frame of the overhead-camshaft CS1, and from then onwards the 'ES2' designation was always applied to Norton's top-of-the-range overhead-valve sports single. The ES2 was built in several versions during a production run lasting until 1963, though the engine dimensions of 79x100mm bore/stroke - first adopted by James Lansdowne Norton in 1911 - remained unchanged to the end. First registered in the East Riding of Yorkshire on 28th December 1928, this 1929-model ES2 was incomplete and in part-restored condition when it was bought from a deceased's estate at Brooks' Stafford Sale in April 1998 (Lot 433) and not 1995 as implied by the accompanying V5C documents. Its restoration subsequently completed by the (now deceased) new owner, the Norton took part in the VMCC's 'Festival of 1,000 Bikes' at Mallory Park in 2007. Noteworthy features include an Amac carburettor; Lucas racing magneto; and a twin-barrel silencer. Last taxed to 30th June 2010, the machine is offered with a substantial file containing photocopied maintenance instructions; old-style continuation logbooks; the Brooks catalogue; SORNs, tax discs and MoT certificates; and a copy of Motor Cycling magazine (17th October 1928, Olympia Show preview).

JE1174A new introduction for 1929, the 348cc JE was the 'junior' version of Norton's ES2 sports roadster. Introduced at the 1927 Motor Cycle Show, the ES2 used the Model 18's 490cc overhead-valve engine in the cradle frame of the overhead-camshaft CS1, and from then onwards the 'ES2' designation was always applied to Norton's top-of-the-range overhead-valve sports single. The ES2 was built in several versions during a production run lasting until 1963. The JE, though, did not last anything like as long, disappearing from the range at the end of the 1931 season. Norton did not list an OHV '350' again until 1933, and when it did the designation had changed to 'Model 50'. In production for just a few years, the JE is one of the rarest of Norton's pre-war production roadsters. This JE's history file consists mainly of colour photographs, some annotated, charting its progress from a dismantled restoration project in January 2009 to a participant in the VMCC's 'Festival of 1,000 Bikes' in July of that year! The Norton was back at Mallory for the next two Festivals, and the related competitor numbers and photographs may be found in the file together with its 2009 MoT certificate and an old-style V5C document.

After debuting on the racetrack, a road-going version - the Model 18 - was catalogued for 1923, quickly establishing a reputation for both speed and reliability. A slightly more expensive twin-port variant - the Model 20 - joined the line-up for 1930, but before long Norton's essentially Vintage range would be comprehensively revised. In 1931 the sidevalve and overhead-valve models were extensively redesigned, dry-sump lubrication and a rear-mounted magneto being standardised. There were further improvements made throughout the 1930s, including enclosure of the valve gear and a foot-change gearbox by the decade's end. The Model 18 was revived when Norton recommenced production in 1946 but the deleted twin-port Model 20 was destined to remain but a fond memory. Despite having significant characteristics of the Model 20 - '20' frame number prefix and a twin-port cylinder head - this machine is recorded in the factory records as a Model 18 (see letter on file).

VF 2907 (see text)Frame no. 31293Engine no. 36799 (see text)Having hitherto relied on proprietary engines, Norton introduced its own 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/stroke dimensions that would characterise the half-litre (actually 490cc) Norton for the next 50 years. Norton's newcomer was among the fastest in its class, being the first machine under 500cc to be officially timed at over 70mph: some going for 1911. Small wonder that '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 frame with lowered riding position and the option of a Sturmey-Archer three-speed gearbox. When fitted with chain drive, the 490cc sidevalve single became the 'Model 16', its designation changing to '16H' in 1921 when a new, lower frame was introduced. The old-style buff logbook on file (issued 1940) shows that at that time this machine was fitted with engine number '38280' (stamping still visible on the cylinder barrel). It should be noted that there is no V5C registration document with this Lot, though a photocopy of the aforementioned logbook was stamped by the DVLA in March 2011.

After debuting on the racetrack, a road-going version - the Model 18 - was catalogued for 1923, quickly establishing a reputation for both speed and reliability. Just the Model 18 had used the same 79mm x 100mm bore-stroke dimensions of the existing sidevalve-engined 16H, so the larger-capacity but otherwise similar overhead-valve Model 19 used those of the 588cc Big 4 sidevalve, at 79x120mm. The Model 18/19 retained its essentially Vintage characteristics until 1931 when the range was extensively redesigned, dry-sump lubrication and rear-mounted magneto being standardised. There were numerous improvements made to the engine throughout the 1930s while Norton's own four-speed foot-change gearbox replaced the old Sturmey-Archer in 1935. From the details recorded in the accompanying old-style buff logbook (issued in 1948), it appears that this motorcycle started life as a 490cc Model 18 which at that time was fitted with engine number '47601'.

Property of a deceased's estate c.1960 Norton 596cc Dominator 99 Café RacerRegistration no. 166 GMOFrame no. R14 89359Engine no. 79761 14PNorton's 500cc twin found a new home in the racing singles' 'Featherbed' duplex frame in November 1951. Titled 'Dominator 88', the newcomer was the first production Norton roadster to feature the lightweight, race-proven chassis. Updated annually, the Dominator had, by the decade's en, received an alloy cylinder head; full-width hubs; welded rear sub-frame; alternator electrics; coil ignition and, for 1960, the narrower 'slimline' Featherbed frame among countless other improvements. Introduced for 1956, the 596cc Dominator 99 was outwardly identical to the 88. Endowed with greater power and higher gearing enabling it to top the magic 'ton', the 99 nevertheless retained all the excellent handling and steering characteristics associated with the Featherbed chassis. One of the Rockers' favourites, the 99 remained essentially unchanged, apart from gaining alternator/coil-ignition electrics for 1958, until dropped in 1962.

1948 Triumph 498cc Tiger 100Registration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. T.F.10730Engine no. 47T10082370Although Edward Turner's Triumph Speed Twin caused a sensation when it appeared at the 1937 Motorcycle Show, few of its admirers can have guessed how influential the design would prove to be. Light, narrow and from certain angles looking just like a twin-port single, it was just what the conservatively minded motorcycling public wanted and the Speed Twin would prove enormously successful. Performance was exemplary for a road-going 500, around 85mph being attainable by the Speed Twin while the Tiger 100 sports version was even faster. The latter's performance was boosted by the use of high-compression forged pistons and polished ports and internals, the result being a machine that could touch 100mph in road trim and exceed it with the silencer end-caps removed. When production resumed in 1946, the T100 reappeared with telescopic forks in place of the original girders, and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war version's magdyno. Formerly registered 'BG 9375' (since reassigned) and displaying a tax disc that expired in August 1973, this Tiger 100 is offered for re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration. The machine was permanently exported in 2004, returning to the UK at date unknown. An 'Export' marker still appears on the DVLA database therefore, the purchaser will need to apply to the DVLA in order to retrieve the age-related registration 'FSJ 427'. Accompanying documentation includes the export certificate; two expired MoTs (1973 and 1998) and photocopy V5.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. A fee of £250 + VAT to do so will be added to the Buyer's invoice.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1956 Triumph 649cc Tiger 110Registration no. MUH 739Frame no. 80932Engine no. T110 80932Every Triumph enthusiast knows that the Bonneville owes its name to record-breaking successes on the eponymous Utah salt flats, but how many are aware that the machine which set a new 650cc production machine record of over 147mph in 1958 was a Tiger 110 equipped with twin carburettors? A development of the Thunderbird tourer, the T110 prototype performed brilliantly in the 1953 ISDT, thus providing the production version - launched later that year - with invaluable publicity. The first Triumph with swinging-arm rear suspension, the T110 came with a revised engine incorporating a stronger crankshaft, high-compression pistons, larger inlet valves and 'hotter' cams. The T110 remained in production into 1961, one of the most important developments along the way being the introduction on this model for 1956 of the aluminium-alloy 'Delta' high-compression cylinder head, which increased power and pushed the T110's top speed towards 120mph. Apparently an older restoration, this Tiger 110 was purchased for the collection in April 2004. The machine is offered with an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1973); some old MoTs; and an old-style V5C Registration Certificate.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1961 Triumph 650cc ThunderbirdRegistration no. BSL 249Frame no. 11401Engine no. 6T D11401Always 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 650cc twin featured the headlamp nacelle and fuel tank with luggage grid first seen on Triumphs 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. The model remained in production in fundamentally its original form, though with progressively updated cycle parts, until the arrival of the unitary construction 650 range in 1962. One of the most significant developments along the way was the introduction of a swinging arm frame for 1955, but prior to that time Triumph twins could be ordered with the optional 'sprung hub' - designed by the Speed Twin's creator Edward Turner - that offered a limited amount of rear suspension movement.Purchased for the collection in 1986 (sales receipt on file), this late Thunderbird has been painted to resemble a Bonneville. Additional paperwork consists of old/current V5/V5C documents.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1957 Triumph 498cc Speed TwinRegistration no. APA 347AFrame no. 06467Engine no. 5T 08372Although Edward Turner's Triumph Speed Twin caused a sensation when it appeared at the 1937 Motorcycle Show, few of its admirers can have guessed how influential the design would prove to be. True, there had been vertical twins before; indeed, Turner's predecessor at Triumph - Val Page - had designed one a few years previously, but Triumph's newcomer established a formula that would be adopted by all of Britain's major motorcycle manufacturers in the succeeding decade. And whereas previous vertical twins had suffered from excess bulk, Turner's was lighter and narrower across the crankcase than the contemporary single-cylinder Tiger 90, and from certain angles looked just like a twin-port single. Performance proved exemplary for a road-going 500, better than 100mph being attainable under favourable conditions. The late 'pre-unit' example offered here dates from circa 1957, by which time the Speed Twin had been upgraded with a stronger 8-stud cylinder barrel (replacing the original 6-stud); Triumph's own telescopic front fork; and a swinging-arm frame among many other improvements. Formerly registered '713 BWL' (since transferred), the Triumph was purchased in August 1986. The associated receipt is on file and the machine also comes with an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1971); an old-style V5; an HPI check; and an old-style V5C document.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Triumph Tiger Cub 200cc Trials MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 97737Engine no. T20R 68091With the introduction of the 149cc Terrier in 1952, Triumph re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines. A simple, compact, unitary construction four-stroke with four-speed gearbox, the Terrier was joined in 1954 by an enlarged version - the 200cc Tiger Cub - that offered 60mph-plus performance and 100mpg. 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. 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. There are no documents with this Lot.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1961 Triumph 200cc Tiger Cub TrialsRegistration no. 402 XUHFrame no. T20 75657Engine no. T20 86803With the introduction of the 149cc Terrier in 1952, Triumph re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines. A simple, compact, unitary construction four-stroke with four-speed gearbox, the Terrier was joined in 1954 by an enlarged version - the 200cc Tiger Cub - that offered 60mph-plus performance and 100mpg. 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 example offered here being one such.

1966 Triumph 200cc Tiger CubRegistration no. MKX 255DFrame no. T20 3500Engine no. T20 3500With the introduction of the 149cc Terrier in 1952, Triumph re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines. A simple, compact, unitary construction four-stroke with four-speed gearbox, the Terrier was joined in 1954 by an enlarged version - the 200cc Tiger Cub - that offered 60mph-plus performance and 100mpg. A big success, particularly with younger riders, the Cub underwent continual development for the next 16 years, finally ending up with BSA Bantam cycle parts before being dropped in 1970. This example's HPI check reveals a change of colour from red/black to blue in 1984, apart from which the machine seems remarkably original. The presence of a 1988 tax disc may indicate when it was last used. The registration 'MKX 255D' is listed in the HPI database; nevertheless, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding. Offered with two expired MoTs from the 1980s and an old-style V5C.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1961 Norton 596cc 'Dominator 99' (see text)Registration no. not registeredFrame no. 92469Engine no. 85487 15Norton'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. The model remained essentially unchanged, apart from gaining alternator/coil-ignition electrics for 1958, until dropped in 1962. Before the Featherbed's arrival, the 500cc engine had powered the Model 7 and the 600c unit the Model 77. Believed an older restoration, the Featherbed-framed Norton twin offered here has been fitted with the 600cc engine from a Model 77, as denoted by the '15' engine number suffix. Offered with a purchase receipt (2002).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1955 Triumph 149cc TerrierRegistration no. SFD 143Frame no. T14250Engine no. T15-14250In 1952 Triumph re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines with the introduction of the 149cc Terrier, which stood out from the predominantly two-stroke opposition by virtue of being a four-stroke like the firm's larger models. Sold new via Chas E Cope & Sons of Dudley, this Terrier was purchased for the collection at a UK auction in July 2015 having been in one previous owner's possession for 20 years (1955-1975, see catalogue description on file). When purchased in 2015, 'SFD 143' was said to have covered only 3,580 miles from new and was described as in exceptionally original condition. Last taxed in March 2013, the machine is offered with its original and continuation logbooks; an expired MoT (1976); and a V5C Registration Certificate.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
