1977 BMW 528a four-door saloon Registration Number: SDP 280S Chassis Number: 4745422 On the face of it, a relatively unassuming white BMW 528 saloon; correspondence on file suggests that this car was modified using Hartge specialist tuning parts in the late 1980s. The car features a Hartge branded engine cover, triple 45DCOE carburettors and retains the automatic gearbox. The internal specification and condition of the engine is not known, but a Janspeed rolling road printout in the history file suggests 166bhp was achieved at that time. What can be confirmed, however, is that the car started very easily and ran well during our inspection and sounded extremely 'healthy' with a lovely exhaust note. A subtle rear window sticker for Birds Hartge Performance Specialists is a tiny giveaway. The car is fitted with non-standard Alpina-style wheels and a lovely period leather-rimmed Hartge steering wheel. Finished in white with a blue cloth interior, it is cosmetically 'fair' inside and out for a 42-year old car, but would appear to require some light restoration. There are signs of more recent service parts to the engine including some of the hoses and silicone HT leads. First registered on 1 August 1977, a vehicle history check states seven previous owners and the odometer showed a recorded 116,260 miles at the time of our recent inspection. The history file includes V5C registration document, a quantity of expired MoT certificates and invoices for parts and work undertaken in particular for extensive works carried out in 2008. Buyer's Premium for lots 1-10 will be at the reduced rate of 15% plus VAT.
1986 Ferrari 412i Registration Number: D429 NRL Chassis Number: ZFFYD24C000062799 Launched at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show, the four-seat Ferrari 412i was the ultimate incarnation of the 365 / 400 / 400i series of cars and recognisable from earlier incarnations of the model by its colour-coded bumpers, matt black chin spoiler, raised boot-line and 'flat' five-spoke alloy wheels. Uprated with new electrically-operated front seats, the grand tourer's revamped interior also featured re-profiled headrests and an improved air-conditioning system making longer journeys a touch more comfortable. Utilising the same tubular steel chassis design as its predecessors, but with various improvements, the new car boasted all-round independent suspension which was self-levelling at the rear, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and anti-lock disc brakes. Powered by an enlarged 4942cc 'quad-cam' V12 engine that developed 340bhp at 6,000rpm, it could be ordered with either five-speed manual or automatic transmission. First registered in August 1986 with the private registration A8 PPS, this right-hand drive automatic 412 is finished in metallic gold with a magnolia interior and chocolate brown dash. In generally good cosmetic condition, the Ferrari starts easily and is in running, driving condition, although the last MoT recently expired 30 May 2019. The recorded mileage is presently 27,681 and correspondence on file indicates the car has only covered approximately 1,200 miles since January 2013. The history file includes V5C registration document, various invoices, correspondence and expired MoTs. Buyer's Premium for lots 1-10 will be at the reduced rate of 15% plus VAT.
1987 Corvette Callaway Twin Turbo Registration Number: BSB3775 (Texas, USA Registration) Chassis Number: 1G1YY2185H5108293 The Calloway Twin Turbo was a very high performance alternative to Chevrolet's standard Corvette. Offered by Callaway Cars under license from Chevrolet between 1987 and 1991, it was available at Chevrolet dealers by selecting a special option on the order specification sheet. The car came with normal Chevrolet warranty as well as an additional one-year 12,000-mile warranty from Callaway Cars. The conversion cost a massive $26,995 over the price of a base model Corvette and consisted of taking the engine out of the car and performing extensive modifications along with installing two turbochargers. Making over 380bhp, over 500 cars were subject to the conversion. One derivative of the Twin Turbo Corvette, the 880 bhp Callaway SledgeHammer recorded a speed of 254.76 mph making it the fastest road-going car at the time. Presented in metallic silver with black leather sports interior, the car is fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox. Paperwork with the car suggests a number of special options and upgrades were later made to further improve performance and Toyo Proxes R888 tyres are fitted. Mileage is recorded as 14,757 and a file containing various documents, correspondence and Calloway Owner’s Manual accompanies the car. Included in this documentation is a photocopy of a C&E 388 form dated July 1993 suggesting that duties were paid coming into the UK at that time, although the vehicle does not appear to have been UK registered. Buyer's Premium for lots 1-10 will be at the reduced rate of 15% plus VAT.
A c.1960s Amphicar Model 770 body shell, The Amphicar (Amphibious Car) was built in West Germany from 1961 to 1965 but marketed for sale as late as 1968. Powered by A Triumph Herald engine, the car/boat achieved moderate performance on both land and water, but with funky sixties fin-tail styling (several years late to this styling party compared to the Americans) and being a four-seat convertible too it was actually incredible fun. Now highly prized collector vehicles they can be found in some of the most important car collections in the world. This lot only comprises the stripped bare-metal body shell. There is no documentation or visible identification or other parts than those pictured and thus could be used for parts or as ‘yard art’. Buyer's Premium for lots 1-10 will be at the reduced rate of 15% plus VAT.
A Kensitas cigarette silks album of national flags containing 57 of the 60 silks,a vintage Abme musical powder compact with engine turned decoration and a Guess wristwatch in original box Est £30 - £50 This lot must be paid for and collected (or despatched) no later than close of business on Tuesday
The Series E Morris Eight represented a radical departure, at least styling wise, for Nuffields. A radical 'new look' included a waterfall grille; the headlamps were incorporated into the wings and the bonnet featured a rear hinge. The car also offered a "real" boot and the classically "1920s" running boards of the preceding Series II had gone. These cars spanned the Second World War in production terms, but the allure of a pre-war example can not be under estimated. With a willing 918cc four cylinder side valve engine and a four speed gear box, this Post Vintage Thoroughbred can happily return 60 miles per hour and, if treated gently, a 40 miles per gallon return is easily within reach. your auctioneer has been involved in the restoration of a 1947 Austin 16 and can attest to what fun and useable cars those built within 3 years either side of the 1939-1945 conflict really are. First registered in April 1939 this 5 keeper Morris 8 Saloon last saw the road in 1986. It is need of full restoration but offers an unsurpassed level of patina which is testimony to this little cars unwavering ambition to see the open road once more. A great affordable project car in the right hands which would make the ideal family classic, and as the late much lamented, motoring scribe Michael Sedgwick said "A thoroughly worthy car". We would not think to disagree. VIN SEE19243View this lot in our showroom and marquee preview day Friday 5th July 2019, Beamish, County Durham
At its 1948 launch the Jaguar XK120 instantly became one of the most admired sports cars of its era. Well known for a chassis capable of great handling, a powerful 3.4 litre straight six engine and record-breaking top speed, evidenced first he factory test driver Ron Sutton having famously driven the XK120 at 130 mph, beyond the 120mph which gave rise to the cars model name, and later by the recently deceased and much missed Norman Dewis setting outright class speed records on the Belgian motorways when, on 20 October 1953 at Jabbeke, he drove a Jaguar XK120 to 172.412 mph.Staying in production for almost 6 years, before being replaced by the XK 140, the 120 led to the C-Type and the victories at Le Mans, Reims etc and is rightly seen as the bed-rock of Jaguar's sporting success. Only some 12,055 examples were produced, the majority being exported as with this left hand drive example which was re-imported from the United States, it having been in the ownership of a single family there for over 50 years, and is being offered fro sale by its sole contemporary UK custodian.The car is presents wonderfully in its original colours of black bodywork with biscuit/red leather trim. It is still fitted with its original engine and is reported to drive exactly as one of these classics Jaguars should. There is an abundance of power, crisp handling and brakes which, if treated with due respect, are more than up to the challenges of modern traffic. This elegant car comes complete with its Jaguar Heritage Certificate in its comprehensive history file and shows chassis number 673312, which confirms this as an export model Open Two Seat car. The XK 120, having been extensively campaigned in period (even Tazio Nuvolari drove a 120 at Silverstone at Sir William Lyon's personal invitation) is eligible for a wealth of historic events such as the Mille Miglia, Classic Le Mans, The Tour Auto, Goodwood Revival Meeting as well as the superb XK Club events and Jaguar enthusiast and Driver's Clubs. The next custodian of this superb machine will, doubtless, find plenty to occupy themselves with as they enjoy their motor car to the full.

One of the last hand-built Aston Martins number 45 of 101 to be made; this outstanding example is everything you would expect from the ‘quintessentially British’ motoring legend that is Aston Martin. It’s the sheer presence of these formidable cars that first holds your attention. In classic Georgian Silver it really is stunning and a joy to behold from every angle. Few cars, even to this day, command quite the same level of awe and respect that is afforded to this masterpiece of automotive design. Then you have the interior; step inside and you are surrounded by hand-crafted opulence. Sumptuous Connolly Leather in Black, contrasting beautifully the traditional wood veneers and chrome fittings, surely this is one of Aston Martin’s finest hand-crafted interiors? The final part of the equation comes in the form of fabulous engineering. Nothing else sounds like a hand-built Aston Martin V8, just turning the key and revving the engine is enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, but of course it’s out on the open road that it all comes together. Power, Beauty and Soul. First registered in 1997, this particular car has an extensive service history and benefitted from a major refurbishment including 4 new tyres and a Pioneer pop up radio/sat nav, she has only covered a total of 35,000 miles since new and was previously sold by Aston Workshop 6 years ago to a very discerning owner. This is a very tidy and very well maintained example of the Aston Martin V8 Coupe that drives just as an Aston Martin V8 should!With the production of the Virage ending in 1995, and for those customers who liked the look of the new Vantage but didn't want the brutal power of the twin supercharged V550, Aston Martin began to offer the 'V8 Coupe' which was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1996. This model shared the same chassis and body as the Vantage V550, with minor revisions to wheel arches, front spoiler and grille, and had basically the same interior. It also shared the same enhanced 5.3-litre V8 in fuel injected form, but without the twin superchargers, mated to a 4-speed Chrysler 'Torque Flite' automatic gearbox resulting in a more relaxed uncomplicated car but still an Aston Martin with 350 bhp and a 0-60 time of 5.9 seconds! Production of the V8 Coupe ran until 1999 by which time only 101 examples had been built, one of the last truly hand-built Astons before the factory geared up for Vanquish production. Further details and photographs to follow.View this lot in our showroom and marquee preview day Friday 5th July 2019, Beamish, County Durham

C.1955 Bedford TA fire tender, 3,519 cc. Registration number not registered (see text). Chassis number A2C 41607. Engine number A2A3 37141. Bedford was a subsidiary company of Vauxhall Motors which was a provider of commercial vehicles for the UK and export markets. The origins of Vauxhall Motors can be traced to 1857 when Alexander Wilson founded the Vauxhall Iron Works in Wandsworth Road, Vauxhall, London. Vauxhall moved to Luton in 1905 and in November 1925 Vauxhall was acquired by General Motors. During World War II production of civilian vehicles was suspended, and Vauxhall was given the task of building the Churchill tanks. Production resumed after the war using the tried and trusted K, M and O types introduced in 1939, and these gave way in 1951 to the new S type and later its 4x4 relative, the R type. Normal trucks were not neglected with the A type appearing in 1953. Vauxhall had already gone for a transatlantic styling with its E Model Wyvern and Velox saloons, and Bedford followed suit with its mid-range of trucks in 1953. Designated as the TA series, the new range were mechanically very similar to their predecessors, but featured a new Chevrolet-inspired cab. The 'T' designation meant "truck", so the range is generally referred to as the A series. Numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5, identified the weight rating. A factory-fitted Perkins diesel engine was an option. The TA (A) series was updated in 1957, and became the TJ, or J series. This example was one of those exported to Waikato Motors of Hamilton in New Zealand, presumably as a chassis with cab and then the fire tender body added locally by Waikato Motors. It was used at the New Zealand Co-op Dairy Ltd. in Reporoa, North Island and would have led a very gentle life, there not being risk of fire in a milking pallor! Repatriated at some point in time it is in running order but would benefit from some recommissioning and rubber seals. Mileage on the six cylinder petrol engine is probably the indicated 5,500 miles and compares very favourably with the 1954 TA5LC example sold by these rooms on the 3rd March 2019. There is no paperwork with this lot except for a 1955 Instruction Book, AN INTERNAL MEMORANDUM FROM Anchormilk dated 22/08/1994 and buyers should satisfy themselves as to how to register it with DVLA.
1983 Scirocco Mk2 GL, 1,588 cc. Registration number HKH 595Y. Chassis number 53DK017254. Engine number FR147044. Initially built from 1974 as a replacement for the Karman Ghia, based on the Golf platform the Mk2 is not as sharp as the original Giugiaro designed masterpiece, but is far more refined than its predecessor. It was introduced in 1982 and used the same chassis from the outgoing model but with a larger body, giving more room inside and increased luggage space. Being generally more rounded, it also had a better drag coefficient of 0.38, making it 10% more slippery than the Mk1 with the high rear spoiler becoming an integral part of its overall look. In the UK, three models were offered - the CL, GL and GTi. The CL had a 1457cc carburettor engine with cloth interior, the GL featured a 1588cc 70bhp unit with a 4+E gearbox, alloys and a four-lamp grille, the GTi came with a 1588cc 110bhp injected engine. The last were produced in 1992 until the introduction of the third generation in 2008. HKH was first registered to Mr McLintock of Goole on the 18th of March 1983 and had its first service the following March at 6,480 miles. Our vendor then bought it and used it for many years until he passed it to a family member in 1995, he received it back again in 2000. At this time the mileage was some 81,000 and it required work to the brakes and exhaust, the head was also removed and overhauled. It was used sparingly; the last MOT being in 2004 with a mileage of 90,995. At 91,425 it was parked up on blocks in dry barn and it has remained there ever since, now the space is required. Sold with the V5C, 2004 MOT, and the original manuals, it will make a rewarding project for the next owner.
1975 Saab 96L, 1,498 cc. Registration number LSD 477P. Chassis number 96760000427. Engine number 360236. The Saab 96 was manufactured 1960 to January 1980, replacing the 93. The 96 featured aerodynamic two-door bodywork, four passenger seating and at first a two-stroke, three-cylinder engine, later a four-stroke V4. In 1967, Saab began marketing the 96 V4, with the Ford Taunus V4 engine, a four-stroke 1498 cc engine, originally developed for the 1962 Ford Taunus 15M. The two-stroke option was offered until 1968. The front suspension used double wishbones and coil springs, while the rear suspension was a trailing U-beam axle with coil springs. Telescopic dampers were used for all four wheels, in 1967, with the coming of the V4 engine; models were fitted with front disc brakes. The 96 was driven most famously by Erik Carlsson, in many international rallies. His most famous successes were first in the 1960, 1961 and 1962 RAC Rallies and first in the 1962 and 1963 Monte Carlo Rallies. It was these successive, top-level victories that put the Saab 96 'on the map' and established its reputation for reliability and toughness. LSD was first registered on the 22nd December 1975 and bought by Michael Reynolds of Glasgow in 1984, he sold it to our vendor in May 1989 who in 1992 drove it into the garage of her parents’ home and left it there. Dry stored ever since the property is being sold and the car has to be moved on. It will need restoring but appears mostly original. Sold with the V5C and SORN notification, this should be a rewarding restoration for the next custodian.
1942 Ford GPW Jeep, 2,200cc. Registration number not UK registered (see text). Chassis number 31960. Engine number TBC Willys. In early 1940, the United States Department of War had determined it needed a light, cross-country, four-wheel drive, reconnaissance vehicle and was anxious to have one in time for, what may possibly turn out to be, America's entry into World War II in Europe. The U.S. Army solicited proposals from domestic car manufacturers for a replacement for its existing, ageing, light motor vehicles, mainly motorcycles and sidecars, and some Ford Model T's. Recognizing the need to create standard specifications, the Army formalised its requirements on July 11, 1940, and submitted them to 135 U.S. automotive manufacturers. It's a matter of history that ultimately two manufacturers were successful, Willys with their MB (US quarter-ton Army truck) and later, Ford with their GPW (in production designated GP.) Impressively the time taken from conception and tenders being sent out, to the production lines starting to roll, was less than two hundred days, amazing for a vehicle that has stood the test of time and become an unlikely motoring icon. This ability to get things done quickly and well was the deciding factor in America being asked to produce military hardware in vast numbers and build hundreds of ships, arguably influencing the outcome of the Second World War. As the war progressed Willys-Overland produced over 300,000 Jeeps and the Ford Motor Co. was drafted in to help boost production and contributed over 250,000 units. Ford-assembled Jeeps were recognizable by their pressed steel grilles as opposed to the Willys' slatted grille. First delivered on the 6th November 1942 nothing is known of its early life but it was registered to USA Exports of California in May 2018 and was sold to Tom Brown of Loughborough who successfully obtained a NOVA certificate 19P848763 on the 7th September 2018. He sold it as a restoration project to our vendor shortly thereafter. This has been started with new combat rims and tyres, seats, windscreen, a respray, new carburettor and other parts being purchased and/or fitted. For personal reasons the restoration has stalled and now it is need of being completed by the next owner. Sold with the NOVA certificate, USA title and various receipts in excess of £2,400.
1995 Mini John Cooper, 1,300 cc. Registration number M964 OBE. Chassis number SAXXNNAYCBD106112. Engine number 12A2EJ02312410. Fifty years ago the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was anathema and the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC's A-Series engine - he was running the company's Formula Junior effort at the time - and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car's competition potential. The result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper, a car that offered a size/price/performance package that was nothing short of miraculous. Following the original's demise in 1971, John Cooper sold his own modified Minis under the 'Mini Cooper' name from the mid-1980s, before Rover's acquisition of the rights made it possible to officially re-launch the model in July 1990. The new Mini Cooper was based on the Mini 30, but fitted with the 1,275cc MG Metro A-Series engine rather than the 30's 998cc unit. Little more than a year later, the engine was given fuel injection to enable it to meet tougher emissions legislation, the resulting model being known as the 'Mini Cooper 1.3i'. Power increased from 61 to 63bhp and there was a slight gain in top speed, which was now 92mph. OBE was first registered on the 28th March 1995 and by 2006 the mileage was 84,220, rising to 84,692 in 2007. In 2008 it had been bought by Alex Handys of Newcastle upon Tyne; the next MOT in 2009 resulted in some welding to pass the test. Unfortunately she did not look after the car and when our vendor bought it for his wife on the 10th January 2012 it was in poor condition. Much work was undertaken on the car and the car passed its MOT on the 7th August 21012 with a mileage of 90,533. His wife was then taken ill and the car was placed in storage at 90,543 miles. Sold with the V5C, MOT history stated, 1995 brochure and various receipts. Due to its long storage the car will require some recommissioning before hitting the open road; it started easily when the cataloguer arrived for the photo shot, but the clutch slave cylinder was sticking.
1991 Peugeot 205 GTI, 1905 cc. Registration number H755 FGS. Chassis number VF320CD6224175421. Engine number a replacement was fitted c. 2007. The King of the hot hatches? Volkswagen may have started the GTi 'movement' in 1976, but many still consider the Peugeot 205 GTi as the greatest of them all. The 205 was launched in 1983, a brilliant rival to its contemporaries with its 'wheel at each corner' design and flyweight mass. No wonder it won What Cars 'Car of the Year' in 1984 and was declared 'Car of the Decade' by CAR Magazine in 1990. The 205 1.6 GTi arrived in April 1984, singled out for its sublime handling and revvy 105bhp engine. The 1.9 GTi that followed in December 1986 was more of the same but with 128bhp and a bit more torque. This was in parallel with the 205 T16 winning the World Rally Championship in 1985, helping to promote the road-going 205's inherent abilities and ultimate potential. The GTi model was produced until 1994, firmly establishing itself as a must have future classic. FGS is a Phase 2 car (black interior and exterior trim, and smoked rear lights) finished in Sorrento Green with half leather seats, first registered by Peugeot main dealers Jessops of Hoddesdon to PHH Allstar Ltd on the 4th January 1991, its user was a Mr Butler who put some 42,000 miles on it. By 1996 it was with Mr Goodier of Ashbourne and the mileage was 55,234, and in 2001/2002 a Mr Margiotta was the owner. John Lister of Market Weighton was next and it had an engine change at some 90,000. He sold it to David Wilkinson of North Dalton in 2007, although it was SORNed for much of his ownership. Our vendor bought it in 2013 and has used it sparingly, often taking it to local shows. It has ten stamps in the service book up to 103,480 miles in 2014 and the current mileage is 107,621. Sold with the V5C, MOT history, extensive receipts and original service books and manuals, these cars are fast appreciating modern classics.
1982 Honda XL250S, 249 cc. Registration number FFW 94X. Frame number MDo1 5306174. Engine number MD01E 5306177. The XL250 is a four-stroke 250 cc motorcycle from Honda introduced in 1972 and manufactured through most of the 1980s. When it appeared it was the first modern four-stroke enduro motorcycle and the first mass-produced four-valve motorcycle. (The first four-valve single was the Ricardo Triumph four-valve of the 1920's, and the first four-valve engine was the Indian 8-valve V2 racer of 1911.) It is an "enduro" or dual-sport bike meaning it physically looks like a dirt bike, and shares many characteristics with a dirt bike, but it is street-legal and intended for on- and off-road use. The bike is completely mechanically operated as there are no hydraulics on the bike. The 250cc 4-stroke motor produces 24 horsepower at the wheel. The bike weighs 288 lbs with oil, grease, and petrol. Fuel capacity is 2.4 gallons. Demand for this model has remained high among collectors and enthusiasts. An interesting observation with the XL250s models were their narrow streamlining, being only 12 inches at their widest point excluding the handlebars. The 1981 XL250S was the last year to have the unique 23-inch front wheel, rear twin shock, and 6-volt electrical system. It also had upgraded rear brakes in a larger hub and a modified 5 plate clutch, and handsome twin speedo and tacho gauges. In 1982, the engine had the balancing shaft gear driven rather than chain driven making the engine quieter and a six-speed gearbox was introduced as well as an automatic cam chain tensioner. In 1982, Honda reverted to the 21-inch front wheel and introduced the rear single shock suspension, known as the Pro-Link, and a 12-volt electrical system. FFW was first registered on the 28th of July 1982 and by March 1986 it was with Andrew Skelton of Doncaster; he sold it to Martyn Barratt of Castleford in August 1986 and John bought it in March 2009. There are MOT's going back to 1986 when the mileage was 7,503, today it is at 16,791. This bike was John's winter bike of choice. Sold with the V5C, V5, various MOT's, a spare front mudguard, receipts and manuals, it should take little effort to recommission the machine.
1969 Suzuki T250 Hustler, 250 cc. Registration number HUM 201G. Frame number T250 13418. Engine number T250 13414. Using the Colleda marque name, Suzuki launched its first 250cc two-stroke twin in 1956 and the type would remain a fixture of the range for the next 40 years. The replacement T10 appeared in 1963 sporting, among numerous improvements, Suzuki's new 'CCI' pumped lubrication system. The next stage of development was the now classic T20 Super Six, which was marketed in the USA as the X6 Hustler. Introduced in 1965, the T20 was an entirely new design although still a 250cc parallel-twin two-stroke. The frame was now tubular and of the duplex loop type, while the gearbox offered the rider the luxury of six speeds for the first time on a road-going motorcycle. With its precise handling, good brakes, powerful motor and 90mph-plus top speed, the Super Six received rave reviews in the motorcycling press and soon established a giant-killing reputation in production machine racing. Improved T250 Hustler and disc-braked GT250 models followed but in essence the piston-ported twin altered little. Tested by Bike magazine (Autumn 1971 edition), a T250 Hustler reached an indicated 96mph and rocketed through the standing quarter-mile in 16.2 seconds, bettering the Yamaha YDS7 and BSA B25 Gold Star it was pitted against. HUM was bought as an USA import back in 1997 by John at an auto jumble and fully recommissioned it for his wives use; when first MOT'd the recorded the mileage was 16,378. It was subject to a full magazine article in the Classic Bike of May 1998. Over the years, like all of John's machines it was very well looked after, MOT'd and ridden every year and improved on whenever he felt it was required. The last MOT was at 22,311 miles in May 2017. Sold with the V5C, V5, MOT's from 1997 onwards, the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club dating certificate, a copy of the magazine article and various manuals, it should take very little to recommission this iconic Japanese 250.
1959 Moto Guzzi Lodola Gran Turismo, 235 cc. Registration number 775 YUN (non transferrable). Frame number REF63. Engine number RDA58. Builders of high-quality machines since the 1920s, Moto Guzzi were Italy’s leading motorcycle manufacturer and were one of the few makes known outside the country, due mainly to the successful competition machines that appeared pre- and post-war when the flying red machines were always to the fore. After 1946 Moto Guzzi changed their priorities and, while still producing the sporting large capacity machines they were best known for, they added a comprehensive range of smaller two-stroke machines from 44cc to 153cc. So good were they at this task, the Italians became kings of the lightweight motorcycle in the 1950s and 60s, producing machines fabled for their power-to-weight ratio and their superb handling. Apart from motorcycles, mopeds and scooters, Moto Guzzi also produced three-wheelers and utility vehicles during this period, the priority being to get the general public motorised in the austere post-war world. Carlo Guzzi's final design, the Lodola arrived in 1956, powered by a 175cc single-overhead-cam engine inclined in a duplex loop frame. A Sport version followed and then in 1959 the model was enlarged to 235cc, becoming the Lodola Gran Turismo. Pushrod valve operation was adopted for the bigger engine which produced 11bhp and was good for a top speed of 70mph. It remained in production until 1966, after a total of about 10,000 Lodolas had been built. YUN was first registered with DVLA in December 2012 by John and fully restored by him to his usual high standard, being MOT'd at 3,038 miles. Today, MOT exempt, this has risen to 4,115 miles. Sold with the V5C, The Vintage Motorcycle Club dating certificate from 2012, various receipts from the restoration (including some from Italy), the 2012 MOT, it with require recommissioning before use.
1969 Triumph Trophy T100C, 500 cc. Registration number LKH 131G. Frame number 18728. Engine number EC 18728 T100C. The initial TR5A/C model was replaced in 1962 by the T100S/C Tiger 100 Competition Trophy. In 1966 the model name was changed to the more recognisable T100C, and in 1968 the Tiger name was changed to Trophy 500. Over the 10 years the model was available it underwent a number of developments, not least to the frame. Twin upswept exhausts were introduced in 1966 and a twin leading shoe front brake was fitted from 1969. Through the 1960s, Triumph's 500cc twin had been considered a 'rider's motorcycle,' appreciated not for any one outstanding quality but rather for its overall balance and competence. The editors at Cycle World magazine, for instance, most with racing and cow-trailing experience, considered the 500 to be Triumph's finest machine, calling it a "sound and well-proportioned design." They waxed more eloquently in the wrap-up of their road test on the 1970 Trophy 500: "The T100C is poetry. Superb road handling. A modicum of convertibility for the dirt. Excellent braking, requiring only one or two fingers on the front stopper, easy starting and exemplary reliability." LKH was repatriated in March 1994 and registered with DVLA. It was probably restored at this time as the first MOT on file is from 1996 at 14 miles. In 2005 it was with David Varley of Doncaster and the mileage was 2,250. John bought it in June 2009 and commenced a rebuild including the engine and a respray; the odometer was reset after this. Used over the years, as all of John's machines were, the last MOT was in March 2015 at 4,215 miles. Sold with the V5C, various MOT's, receipts and manuals, it should require little recommissioning.
