Registration No: DS 9445 Frame No: H326 MOT: ExemptPart of a private collection for many yearsA rare Pioneer machineAn older restorationBelieved to have completed in a few Pioneer RunsFounded by William Paddon of Hampton-in-Arden, Warwickshire, the Hampton marque survived in various guises from 1912 to 1933. A manufacturer of both motorcycles and motorcars, it operated from premises in Lifford Mills, King’s Norton, Worcestershire. The first Hampton two-wheeler debuted in 1912 featured a 3 1/2 hp single-cylinder engine of in-house design, Saxon forks and belt drive. A smaller capacity, 2 1/2 hp model arrived the following year, while 1914 saw Hampton offer another 3 1/2 hp machine but powered by a proprietary ‘TDC’ engine (T.D. Cross & Sons of Birmingham). Comprehensively outsold in period by bigger makes, surviving Hamptons are very few and far between. Reputedly restored to a high standard before joining the late vendor’s extensive collection of British motorcycles in the late 1970s, this TDC-engined Hampton has been on static display for many years. Seemingly complete, it will require recommissioning prior to use. Said to have completed a number of Pioneer Runs in the past, this exceptionally rare (and possibly even unique) the Hampton has no registration document but the number is live on the DVLA database which should hopefully make applying for a current V5C easier.

Registration No: ODK 499 Frame No: L14 67716 MOT: ExemptModel 99 Dominator 600cc vertical twinFeatherbed frame and Roadholder forksSupplied with old MOTs, manuals and a V5CNorton began in 1898 and started building motorcycles with French and Swiss engines in 1902. In 1907, a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race, starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. Developed for their Manx Norton race bikes, the legendary featherbed frame eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc Dominator twin cylinder engine. By the late 1950s the engine had been increased in capacity to 600cc fitted into the classic featherbed frame matched to equally iconic Roadholder front forks and alloy full width hubs. This good-looking 'Dommie' has been part of an enthusiast's private collection for the last few years. Authentically restored in the past, keeping a good degree of originality, it is finished in Norton's Polychromatic Grey paintwork, a quite ambitious colour scheme in the 1950s when most bikes were just plain Black. Used by the vendor until last summer, it will need the normal checks before use, but once recommissioned will make a stylish mount for summer runs. One of the most sought-after Nortons from the era, it comes supplied with many old MOTs, some manuals and a current V5C.

Registration No: TAW 236H Frame No: CC02359A75R MOT: ExemptThis BSA Rocket 3 was despatched to BSA Baltimore, USA, in 1971Repatriated back to the UK in 2017Part of a private collectionComes complete with a current V5C and BSA Dating CertificateThe BSA Rocket 3 and the doppelganger Triumph Trident were technically advanced, high-performance roadsters made by Triumph Engineering and BSA from 1968 to 1975, and sold under both the Triumph and BSA marques. Alongside the Honda CB750, and later the Kawasaki triples, it brought a new level of sophistication to street motorcycles, marking the beginning of the superbike era. It had a 58bhp, 740cc air-cooled OHV unit construction straight-three engine, with four gears and a conventional chassis and suspension. The engine had less vibration than the existing 360° twins. The Rocket 3/Trident was part of Triumph's plan to extend the model range beyond their 650cc parallel twins and was the last major motorcycle developed by Triumph at Meriden, West Midlands, created to meet the demands of the US market.On offer is a 'declared manufactured' BSA A75R Rocket 3, that was despatched to BSA in Baltimore and registered there in 1971. Not much history is known about the BSA until it was repatriated back to the UK from the USA in 2017, where it was declared manufactured by BSA at the end of 1970. There is a dating certificate confirming that this is a matching numbers machine, as confirmed by the factory record books. Some restoration has been carried out on the BSA and would make for a good rider's machine once the usual checks have been carried out due to short-term storage. A current V5C, BSA Dating Certificate and sundry paperwork accompany the BSA. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: 376 XWA Frame No: 512671 125LI MOT: ExemptRunning well with TV200 engine increased to 225cc (Engine No: TV2 552842)Superb original patinaV5 for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta Li series 1 was properly launched in April 1958. Some 7 months after the TV175 series 1 was launched. By then Innocenti had eliminated most of the engine problems that the 175 had. The Li was a dramatic departure from the shaft driven LD range that had preceded it. The new enclosed chain driven engine was centrally positioned under the frame and had more power than the LD. With larger 10 inch wheels and beautifully designed panel work it was a superb scooter to ride and was instant hit. The larger engined TV200 quickly followed the TV175 in early 1963 at the specific request of the British importer Lambretta Concessionaires who wanted an even more powerful model to satisfy their customer base. This example has been carefully considered to be an authentic riders scooter but retaining the classic Series 1 design features. It is noted that the panel work has been replaced with original 150 panels which give better rubber floor board strips. The panels fit very well. The engine is a genuine TV200 casing as far as we can see, and has we have been informed been increased to a 225cc bore. The engine sounded very good at the time of consignment. Still registered as the original Li125, the original 1958 tax disc is still present. The value of the engine in itself is considerable. Our consultant recently rode this scooter on his visit to the vendor and it performed very well. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: HX10 BKK Frame No: 5HD4CS2C4AC423943 MOT: None883R Sportster in Harley's famous race coloursChrome carrier with backrest and spotlightsHagon shocks and fork kit, supplied with a V5CHarley-Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and has gone on to become one of the world's best-known and longest-running motorcycle manufacturers. Harley-Davidson is the archetype for large-capacity cruisers which many have tried to copy but never quite equalled Harley's image and prestige. The Sportster in its various guises has been in the Harley catalogue since the 1950s and has often been a motorcyclist's first introduction to the mystique of owning and riding one of these iconic bikes. Powered by the classic air-cooled V-twin engine in a nice simple frame, its low seat height and relative light weight make it an ideal all rounder. This 2010 Sportster 883R is a good-looking bike presented in Harley's classic Orange and Black race team colours. Displaying a credible c.12,575 miles on its speedo, unusually for a Sportster it is offered in essentially standard trim with just the rear shocks having been upgraded to a pair of Hagons and a Hagon front-fork kit fitted to improve the ride. The bike is also fitted with a chrome rear carrier, a backrest and a pair of spot lights up front. A new drive belt was fitted in June 2023 and it is protected with a Carole Nash Insurance 'DNA Protection' kit and will come supplied with a current V5C.

Registration No: OXS 350 Frame No: 2610012 MOT: ExemptTypically Italian 500cc sports bikeUnit construction 44bhp engineRun recently, supplied with a V5CThe Italian motorcycle manufacturer Gilera was founded in Arcore in 1909 by Giuseppe Gilera and is still in existence today after the company was purchased by the Piaggio group in 1969. After WWII, Gilera dominated Grand Prix motorcycle racing, winning the 500cc road racing world championship six times in eight years, but after facing a downturn in motorcycle sales due to the increase in the popularity of automobiles after the war, they quit Grand Prix racing after the 1957 season. Gilera offered a range of mainly four-stroke engined single-cylinder machines ranging from 100cc to 500cc, the most famous being the Saturno designed by Giuseppe Salmaggi. Thought of as the Italian Gold Star, it formed the basis of many race bikes in the day. This c.1953 Saturno was imported into the UK in 1980 and has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection, a keen rider it has been enjoyed by him on days out around the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales on many occasions. Restored a few years ago and showing a nice patina, it is offered in mostly original condition with just a later Dellorto carburettor fitted to aid starting. Always thought of as the Italian Gold Star, in many ways it was more advanced with its unit construction engine producing 44bhp. A rare model in the UK, the bike started and ran when being photographed and comes supplied with a current V5C.

Registration No: K601 VUD Frame No: 0121301 MOT: NoneA very original and low mileage BMW R80Long term family ownership for 30 yearsAlways maintained to a good standardCurrent V5C on fileBMW was established in the early 1900s as a manufacturer of aircraft engines and produced their first motorcycle in 1923, the R23, already sporting the flat-twin boxer configuration they have now become synonymous with. Whilst the basic engine layout is nearly 100 years old, constant improvements have kept it at the forefront of motorcycle design and together with some avant-garde suspension concepts BMW Boxers are still amongst the most desirable and best selling bikes in the world today. This 1992 BMW R80 was purchased by the late vendor in 1995 (receipt on file). The R80 was not used much in the current ownership due to the use of the other R80 in the sale. It was always maintained and used in better weather conditions. The overall condition is very good and very original, as evident from our inspection. The R80 has not been used for several years and will require some recommissioning before placing it back on the road again. It is offered complete with a current V5C, a purchase invoice, many MOT certificates, two sets of keys and a handbook. To be sold at 'no reserve'.

Registration No: N/A Chassis No: N/A MOT: N/AA continuation to the original JW1Built by well known Lincolnshire racer Phil Biggadyke in the early 1990sCarb’ fed, dry-sumped Triumph twin engineScitsu was built by well known Lincolnshire racer Phil Biggadyke in the early 1990s as a continuation to the original JW1 designed by Derbyshire engineers Jon Worthington and Tony Dawson in the early 1960s. Following an illustrious racing career rubbing shoulders with the likes of the Mogvin and the Greenwood Mini, JW1 disappeared in the 1970s and is thought to have been scrapped, although some parts including the original nose and side panels were rescued and are included in this sale. Phil had the consent and support of Jon Worthington and had access to original drawings etc during the project and it is thought that Jon Worthington was involved in testing. Following completion, Scitsu was raced by Phil and passenger Ron Bainbridge sometime in the mid-1990s. Scitsu is constructed as a triangulated spaceframe utilising square and round tubing and independent adjustable front suspension, akin to the Morgan sliding pillar system with a coil sprung swinging arm rear set-up. Power is via a laid down carb’ fed, dry-sumped Triumph twin engine transmitted via roller chain to the rear wheel. A significant paperwork file includes information including period photos relating to JW1, Jon Worthington’s original JW1 Circuit notebook (1965-1968) etc in addition to correspondence between JW and PB, various press articles, evidence of PBs race activity, drawings, notes, sketches, photos etc all relating to the reconstructed machine. Scitsu has recently been checked over (including engine) and fired up without problems, although it will obviously require a thorough ‘going through’ before use. In addition to original parts mentioned above, Scitsu comes with a spare bottom end, Wal Philips injectors and various small parts.Scitsu ‘is’ Selfish Conduct Injures True Sportsmanship and Unity, a phrase coined by Tony Dawson who passengered Jon Worthington on the original 1965 Scitsu and went on to develop the Scitsu Yamaha triple in the early 1970s, subsequently raced by Steve Machin and Roger Marshal. Scitsu represents not only an excellent opportunity to acquire a historic machine with links to the golden era of sidecar racing in the sixties but also an opportunity to become involved in motorsport. There is also the intriguing possibility of getting Scitsu roadworthy and registered for road use!! For more information, please contact: Stewart Parker info@handh.co.uk 07836 346875

Registration No: LFE 105 Frame No: 233317 MOT: ExemptOriginal buff logbook and extensive known history from newIn excellent working order and well presentedV5C ready for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta LD was a very popular model globally throughout the 1950s and in the UK had its ardent admirers even after the much-improved Li series was introduced. There was slight cross-over between the two models in 1957 when they would be found side by side in showrooms. The Mk3 differed from previous versions of the LD with its handlebar mounted casting that housed the horn and a fixed glovebox inside the leg shield that housed the speedometer and a location for a clock. There was also a larger rear light and slightly larger and more comfortable saddles.This example was first registered new in April 1958 by Wests dealership in Lincoln with the buff logbook showing a number of owners in the Lincoln area, Nottingham and then Lincoln again up until 1965. Our vendor acquired it from his daughter-in-law's father who had owned it since the mid-1960s. A motorcycle enthusiast, the vendor then restored it. The scooter looks to be in good order and retains most of the original parts including the original speedometer which reads c.18,953 miles, believed to be genuine. With a fully reconditioned engine, we were able to see the scooter running and functioning very well at the time of consignment.

Registration No: GW 7641 Frame No: T1559 MOT: ExemptEarly overhead cam 600cc modelUnique 'square four' engine layoutSupplied with a dating letter and a V5CLike many British motorcycle companies, Ariel began producing bicycles in the late 1800s eventually progressing onto motorcycles in 1902. After a typically rocky few years for manufacturers in the early part of the century, the company was bought by Jack Sangster from the receivers at a bargain price in the early 1930s. The company was renamed Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd, and promptly resumed production in a new factory in Selly Oak Birmingham. One of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner, who at the time was looking for work and showing drawings of his engine designs to various motorcycle manufacturers. The design was rejected by BSA but adopted by Ariel, becoming their prestige model for the next 30 years. In the days of predominately single-cylinder engines a square four layout was very advanced and the bike stayed in production until the late 1950s. The engine was initially a 500cc with overhead cams and was essentially a pair of across-frame parallel twins joined by their geared central flywheels before being bored out to 600cc in 1932. A very expensive engine to produce, it was given a major revamp in 1939 to become an easier to manufacture 1000cc motor with overhead valves (OHV) in place of the overhead cams (OHC).This beautiful Square Four has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection and is rare and a extremely collectable model. According to records supplied by the Ariel Owner's Club, it was dispatched to Hackford Motors in London on Tab No.11554 fitted with engine no.T701 and first registered in early March 1932. The bike has been restored over recent years with the crank overhauled by Alpha Bearings, a new oil pump fitted together with a new pair of period correct tires. The innovative Ariel Square Four remains unique in the history of motorcycling, with only Suzuki many years later producing a very different two-stroke Square Four 500cc model. Promoted as 'a true gentleman's motorcycle', it is now highly prized by discerning enthusiasts, especially the early overhead cam models. Supplied with letters from the owner's club and a V5C, this bike would grace any collection. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Registration No: 966 XUB Frame No: 175TV3*510570 MOT: ExemptFrom a deceased estateCorrect numbersV5C for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV175 Series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 Series 2 with new sleek styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV Series 2 models. The TV Series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. This early 1962 example comes with original later version side panels. Only 188 numbers apart, the engine and frame are correct and original. In our opinion there are original parts all over the machine, including rare and valuable items including the front disc brake hub assembly, rear frame badge, 'jug eared' rear crash bars and a Giuliari seat re-covered in Green. It has been technically upgraded with new 12v electrics and tubeless wheel rims. There is a sensibly priced reserve.

Registration No: 50 RHN Frame No: 235116 MOT: ExemptBeautifully engineered OHC 175ccTypical curvaceous Italian stylingSupplied with a spare engine and V5CLike most pioneers in the automotive world, Edoardo Bianchi started out making bicycles in 1885 and by 1897 had fitted an engine into the centre of a strengthened cycle frame to provide a motorised version. In 1910 Bianchi designed a 498cc single that proved to be very successful and established Bianchi as a respected motorcycle manufacturer with a range of models that included a 600cc V-twin. Bianchi became a prominent name in the motorcycle racing world with bikes such as the DOHC 350cc works racer designed by Albino Baldi, Bianchi's chief engineer, becoming probably the most successful Italian racing bike at the time ridden by riders such as the legendary Tazio Nuvolari and Alberto Ascari. The company also created a car brand, Autobianchi, in 1955 in collaboration with Pirelli and Fiat and kept producing motorcycles until the late 1960s before returning to their roots and concentrating on high quality racing bicycles. This rare in the UK Bianchi Tonale 175, being offered with no reserve, is a typically stylish overhead-cam sports model with a unit construction engine housed in a twin loop frame with full-width alloy hubs. The lightweight sports class was very popular in Italy at the time, with most manufacturers designing bikes to compete in long distance events like the Moto Giro d'Italia, with Bianchi winning the race in 1956 ridden by works rider Osvaldo Perfetti. The Sandro Colombo designed Tonale was way in advance of anything being offered by its British contemporaries but also considerably more expensive. Unusually, according to the registration document, this example appears to have spent all of its life in the UK being first registered in June 1961. It comes supplied with most of a spare engine, a megaphone and a racing seat together with current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Registration No: NMC 32R Frame No: 45792 MOT: ExemptRare prototype Harris TriumphMagazine featured and owned for 36 yearsRestored to a high standardThis very special machine was purchased some time ago by the current owner. Dismantled for around 8 years before that, the overhaul started in earnest with the engine and included new bearings, pistons, new conrods etc; Phil Pick from Triple Cycles overhauled the gearbox. To aid the restoration, the current vendor visited Harris Performance with some pictures. The vendor was informed that Lester Harris told him it was 'one of three prototypes for track testing and racing whilst the other two did not survive due to crashing'. Said to have been raced previously by Jim Wells, in F750 and Endurance, the Harris was taken back to Lester to have a look at and at that time some work was carried out by him, which included a fork brace, battery box, chain guard, a one-off exhaust system, and a White Power suspension spring. All the wheels were overhauled at the time, with new bearings and tyres and tubes. The amount of work that has been carried out has been listed by the current vendor. It was subsequently featured in the July 1989 'Performance' magazine once completed. We have been advised the Harris Prototype is 'running very well' and should be a delight for its new owner. It is offered with a current V5C and various paperwork. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: G747 YAD Frame No: ZX900A-045580 MOT: February 2026A UK registered from new Kawasaki GPZ900RSold by Frasiers of Gloucester in September 1989Some 25 MOT certificates to support mileageGreat service history from newA current V5C on fileThe Kawasaki GPZ900R (also known as the ZX900A or Ninja 900) was manufactured by Kawasaki from 1984 to 2003. It is the earliest member of the Ninja family of sport bikes. The 1984 GPZ900R (or ZX900A-1) was a revolutionary design that became the immediate predecessor of the modern-day sports bike. Developed over six years, it was Kawasaki's and the world's first 16-valve liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder motorcycle engine. Being the grandfather of modern-day superbikes, the GPZ brought in a lot of industry firsts. The world’s first production motorcycle to cross the 150mph mark, with a top speed of 155mph. In the movie ‘Top Gun’ (1986), ‘Maverick’ had no doubts as to which bike he’d be riding, especially when he was more accustomed to flying supersonic fighter jets, albeit without the Kawasaki badges.This 1989 Kawasaki GPZ 900R was sold by Frasiers of Gloucester on 21st September 1989 and hails from later in the production run, hence its striking Black and Gold livery. The GPZ has had just 4 previous owners from new and displays just over 20,000 miles. It is in mostly original condition for its age with good Black chrome silencers, but there are some signs of general use on the paintwork, which is to be expected for its age. The machine has just had all of its carburettors overhauled and set up, along with a service that included a new clutch and is now described by the vendor as 'running very well indeed'. There's vast amount of receipts on file for parts and work carried out on the machine over the years, it's also supported by some 25 MOT certificates, some 20 tax discs, handbooks and a service book. A current V5C is on file. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 1548 MOT: ExemptThe 'big brother' of Veteran Douglas machinesRestored by the current ownerOwned for over 20 years, mainly in AustraliaNOVA number on fileThe Douglas Brothers, who started up in 1906, acquired the design of a flat twin-cylinder engine from J. Barter's defunct Light Motor Company enterprise, Barter coming to work for Douglas. Having two cylinders horizontally opposed 180 degrees to each other was much the same elegant solution to twin-cylinder engine design as adopted by over fifty other motorcycle manufacturers, although Douglas chose a longitudinal layout for their early twins.To meet the demands for greater power, Douglas introduced the 3½hp Model A for 1914, with a 494cc side-valve engine and two-speed gearbox. The Model B shown here, with kick start, cone clutch and footboards, cost £4 more at £62. The production of civilian machines continued alongside machines for the armed forces until 1916, after which all output was taken by the British Army. This 1914 Douglas MKodel B 500cc has been with the current vendor for over 20 years, during which time he has restored the Douglas to a good standard using many original parts where possible. This is the larger capacity machine being the 500cc flat twin with lots of torque and was only produced for a short time. Having spent most of its life in Australia, the Model B was brought back to the UK when the owner moved back. There is a NOVA number on file for the new owner to get it registered for the UK. Only run static since completion, some light fettling would be required before use. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: T7/2000 MOT: ExemptAn ideal project for a Royal Enfield enthusiastOffered from a deceased estate after long term ownershipLooks as though the owner was in the process of restoring before passingOffered with tank and mud guards in freshly painted in burgundyThe first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch, having previously manufactured bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day, making it one of the most enduring names in the two-wheeled world. The Super Meteor (700cc)was a British motorcycle made by Royal Enfield for export to the US between 1952 and 1962, when the Super Meteor was replaced by the 736cc Royal Enfield Interceptor. Believed to be a Royal Enfield Meteor 700, with the 700cc engine, this example of the 1950s model appears to be a stalled project that was subject to restoration work prior to the passing of the owner, it looks to have been sprayed recently with a 'new' wheel and parts such as the tank, removed for restoration. We are informed that the tank and the fairing for it have been found, other than stated, we are unable to verify if the machine is complete. Unfortunately, there is no paperwork with this lot.

Registration No: EFH 256M Frame No: 15944 MOT: ExemptUsed and very much enjoyed by the vendorMany upgrades during ownershipDescribed as a rider's machinePaperwork and V5C on fileLaverda had built their two-wheeled reputation on the production of high quality, lightweight machines supported by an active competition programme that resulted in successes in the long distance road races popular in Italy during the1950s. However, by the early 1960s the domestic Italian motorcycle market was starting to decline as the populace became more affluent acquiring small cars such as the Fiat 500 instead of lightweight motorcycles. Massimo Laverda, the son of the Laverda founder Francesco, recognised the need for the company to diversify into new markets and consequently pushed for the development of a new large capacity machine. The result made its debut at the 1966 Earls Court Show in November 1966. Displacing 653cc, the twin cylinder single overhead cam engine was clearly influenced by the contemporary Honda CB 72/77, and developed a claimed 55bhp housed in a steel tubular backbone chassis. The new model was quickly joined by a 750cc version typed the 750 GT, this was followed in 1969 by the 750S and in 1970 by the first of the SF series which adopted new drum brakes, the SF in the title standing for "super freno", 'super brake' in English, but otherwise was similar to the preceding machine, retaining its robust nature and excellent performance. This Laverda SF2 was imported to the UK in 1987. In the vendor's ownership, the machine has been the subject of an engine overhaul in 2000, with new pistons, rings, 5C sport camshaft and new valves. More recently, the Laverda underwent recommissioning in 2024, including fitting a pair of new Dellorto 36mm PHF carburettors, K&N air filter, fuel lines, Champion N2 plugs, refurbished speedo and tacho, a reupholstered single seat unit, new chain guards and DAM Racing Easy Clutch actuator. The ignition has also been upgraded to a Mott Witt system with the coil and also includes rare factory rear sets and clip-on handle bars, a stainless steel exhaust system, a powder coated frame, braided brake lines and an upgraded Brembo master brake cylinder. This Laverda has been described as in 'good working order and a rider's machine and certainly not a show queen'. MOT history shows that the bike has only covered 4,500 miles since 2006. It is being offered with a file of paperwork and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: DOC 314C Frame No: C1S43257 MOT: ExemptAll matching engine and frame numbers machineRestored throughout 201912v conversion during the rebuildLarge file of paperwork and a current V5C on fileManufactured by BSA from September 1958 until 1967, the C15 was BSA's first four-stroke unit-construction bike. For most of that period, after the introduction of 'Learner Laws' in 1961, a 250cc was the largest capacity solo machine that a learner could ride unaccompanied when displaying L-plates in the United Kingdom. A road-going sports derivative was added in 1961 and off-road versions, for Trials and Scrambles, were also available in the range. This very smart 1965 BSA C15 was fully restored to a very high standard in 2019. There is a memory stick full of pictures of the restoration and work that has been carried out. The quality of work is a credit to the previous owner and still presents very well. The current vendor purchased the C15 for his collection and has not used it since his ownership began in 2021. With some general checks advised before putting it back on the road, the BSA comes with a folder full of paperwork, the old RF60 logbook, Haynes and a parts manual.

Why on earth did it want to lock horns with Harley Davidson? Launched in 2011, the resultant Diavelo (Bolognese dialect for devil) soon silenced the doubters with its sportsbike-derived (and WSB-winning) engine, sophisticated suspension, agile chassis, cutting-edge electronics and radical styling. Toting a huge 240-section rear tyre, the Ducati was crowned MCN’s ‘Machine of the Year’ for 2011. Arriving in 2015, the second generation Diavelo boasted a subtly modified twin-spark Testastretta motor and could be had in various ‘special edition’ guises such as the AMG Edition, Chromo, Titanium and Diesel. Inspiring something of a cult following, the outlandish high-performance cruiser remains in production today and even has its own internet forum.Accompanied by a service book which was last stamped at 16,978 miles when ‘CE65 DXZ’ received replacement fork seals, chain sprockets and timing belts, this second generation example now shows 20,155 miles to its odometer. Offered for sale as a non-running project, the Ducati is nevertheless said to have ‘good compression’ and to be capable of starting with the assistance of a rolling road. The 'red key' is present, however, it can also be started keyless with a code. A V5C is on file. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

In the 1970s they made over 220,000 motorcycles annually, mainly for the domestic market and countries behind the Iron Curtain but also exporting to countries such as Italy, Norway, Australia and from 1973 to 1979 were marketed in the UK by SATRA under the brand name Cossack. This rare example of a Russian motorcycle is from a deceased estate and is being offered with 'no reserve'. Not many examples would have been imported into the UK and very few will have survived in such original condition. DVLA records show its first registration as April 1975 and subsequently taxed for just 1 year, clocking up a credible 187km until presumably being stored away. Not run for a while, it will need recommissioning, however, the engine turns freely and has compression. Offered with an original dealer sales sheet, UK supplied workshop and parts books and even the original tyre pump still wrapped in brown tissue paper, together with a current V5C.

Registration No: MBU 886P Frame No: 1057055 MOT: ExemptOriginal unrestored example of the iconic 400/4Supplied with its original standard dual seatCredible low mileage, supplied with a current V5CThe Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary 400/4 was launched in 1975 to great acclaim and revolutionised medium capacity motorcycles giving riders 500cc performance in a small lightweight package with a café racer look, lower handlebars, rear-set foot pegs and one of its most recognisable features, a swooping four-into-one exhaust system. This 400 Four (400F or 400/4) was first registered in 1976 and still has its original supplying dealer Fosters of Chorlton transfers on the side panels and name on the rear number plate. The bike has essentially been in storage since it was bought by a previous owner in 1993 and then by the current vendor in 2011, who preserved it in a vacuum bag. The engine turns over on the kickstarter but it has not run for many years so will need a good recommissioning before use. Showing a credible 6,976 miles on its speedo and whilst having rust on its chrome-work, it is presented in amazingly original condition. All the paintwork appears to be as supplied nearly 50 years ago and it even still has its now yellowed plastic coating on the brake and clutch levers. Fitted with a rear carrier and a lower seat at some stage, the original seat has been dry-stored for most of its life and is included in the sale in very good condition. A real time capsule, it comes supplied with an old V5 from 1993 and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Around the turn of the century, they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. Probably the most sought-after models produced by BSA were the Gold Star range of 350 and 500cc singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the late '50s/ early '60s, the Gold Star the most replicated of them all. On offer is a 1954 BSA 350cc Gold Star replica, this machine is based around a 1954 BSA B31 frame with a standard gearbox and a BSA BB32 Gold Star engine. It appears the BB32 engine was fitted to the frame around 1974/5, according to the continuation logbook. Sadly, not much history is known from when the late vendor purchased the machine, but appears that some work has been carried out. It is offered as a restoration project requiring checking over before use. The BSA comes complete with a DVLA V5C, an old RF60 logbook, a continuation logbook and an old MOT certificate from 1977.

In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel-drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. The unfaired Monster began as a styling exercise in 1992, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, and it took time to convince the management at Ducati to build it. The model became an immediate success and has gone down in history as the bike that saved Ducati due to its popularity and cheap development costs, with over 300,000 having been produced. This 1996 Ducati 600 Monster has only covered 391 miles from new. The first owner had the Ducati in his office for many years before he finally sold it. The current owner purchased the machine due to its low mileage and then set about doing some light cosmetic work on it, with a full service carried out by Chris Walker from Ducati in Grantham, this included all the belts and fluids, including all the brakes and brake lines due to some perishing. It also benefits from new tyres, and exhausts being removed for professional polishing and upon refining they were fitted with carbon heel protectors. It is accompanied by the service books and manuals, receipts for work and parts purchased and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day, making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. Initially called Enfield, in 1911 they added Royal to the company name and in 1912 the Model 180 sidecar combination was introduced, fitted with a 770cc V-twin JAP engine, and the bike was raced successfully in the Isle of Man TT and at Brooklands. This is a very early example of the Enfield V-twins and is reputed to be a 'prototype' machine of the day, owned by the marque specialist at the time, Ivor Mutton. This very charming Veteran Royal Enfield has been fully restored to a good standard and has formed part of a collection of machines by the current owner. The machine is offered with a current V5C. Please note: Although this machine dates from 1912, it carries a 1924 registration number. It could be classified as a Pioneer with the help of the appropriate Club Registrar.

During WWI they supplied large numbers of motorcycles to the British War Department and also to the Imperial Russian Government. Royal Enfield fitted their own 225cc two-stroke single and 425cc engines in the smaller capacity bikes and JAP engines for bigger bikes but in 1921 they developed their own 976cc V-twin engine. These were marketed together with Enfield’s own range of sidecars and could be ordered from the factory as an outfit with options such as the new state of the art Lucas Magdyno lighting.Offered from a deceased estate and from long-term ownership, this 1926 Royal Enfield 180 from the inter-war years, presents the perfect project for someone to get back to both road and event use. Unfortunately, we don't expect there to be any paperwork with this machine, however, the frame number is visible and we can say the engine number is E5967 on the block and the gearbox number is 70023.

For 2017, a host of updates were introduced, including a displacement increase to 900cc, the addition of liquid-cooling and traction control, and the change from a 360-degree to 270-degree crankshaft. The combination of ‘old school’ looks and modern road manners appeals to many. This 2023 Triumph T100 Bonneville has had just one previous keeper and covered a mere 3,575 miles from new. Starting ‘on the button’ for our recent photography session, the Triumph is said to ride in a manner commensurate with its notably low odometer reading.

The tuned engine and close-ratio gearbox made for a faster 95kmh machine with much-improved acceleration over a standard Li. The Special 150cc engine/gearing combination on these models was also particularly sought after by Lambretta racers who raided the machines for their engines and this has contributed to the rarity of the the model in an original state. The Golden Special is much rarer than the Silver version and was a limited Italian market only edition although it is unknown exactly how many were made, they do not come to market very often.First registered in the UK in 2001, here we present a complete and believed to be correct numbers example, when crossing referenced with other Golden Specials.

After a typically rocky few years for manufacturers in the early part of the century, the company was bought by Jack Sangster from the receivers at a bargain price in the early 1930s. The company was renamed Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd, and promptly resumed production in a new factory in Selly Oak, Birmingham. One of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner, who at the time was looking for work and showing drawings of his engine designs to various motorcycle manufacturers. The design was rejected by BSA but adopted by Ariel, becoming their prestige model for the next 30 years. In the days of predominately single-cylinder engines, a 'square four' layout was very advanced, the bike staying in production until the late 1950s. The engine was initially a 500cc with overhead cams and was essentially a pair of across-frame parallel twins joined by their geared central flywheels before being bored out to 600cc in 1932. A very expensive engine to produce, it was given a major revamp in 1939 to become an easier to manufacture 1000cc motor with overhead valves in place of the OHC.

A magical infusion of culture with its distinctive working class 60s mod appeal. The original album was released in 1973 as a rock opera with the film coming out later in 1978.Launched in 1962 the GS160 was quite a departure from the earlier 150 version and marked the beginning of the new era of the more powerful and many would say more reliable Vespas. With a larger cylinder and clutch the engine case being altered and with spare wheel mounted on the left side of the body. Almost every internal engine part was changed and a different air box and carburettor were used. This necessitated even wider engine cowls than the 150 and the most pleasing and the widest (yet still rounded) ‘behind’ ever seen on a Vespa. Overall with a fairly blistering performance of 8.9 HP and with rounded design features that hid the spare wheel and internalised the luggage the GS160 is regarded by many as the pinnacle best combination of Vespa performance and style. The Mk 2 differed from the Mk 1 by using a large inside legshield toolbox.The scooter is faithful to the original as used by 'Chad' on The Who’s album Quadrophenia and accompanying book. With the correct original RAF St. Christopher badge, all of the spotlights are Miller, Stadium, Lucas and Radyot as per the original. Many details, like the individual plectrums and accessories deserve study of the full set of photographs to appreciate. The scooter is in fine running condition as can be seen by the photographs and the video below. This actual machine was used by the Mod revival band ‘The Goldhawks’ on stage during the ‘Quadrophenia - The Album Live’ tour. With correct matching numbers, this is a very good GS160 in its own right. The reserve has been set realistically.

V5C ready for the roadPLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is now being offered with a reduced reserve.In 1952 a group of Basque businessmen trading as Lambretta Locomociones SA obtained a licence to build Lambretta scooters in Spain. In 1964 the company began to use the name Serveta SA for its own commercial activities. Servetas were initially only produced for the Spanish domestic market. However by 1970 Spanish built machines were being sold in the UK by Lambretta Concessionaires alongside their Innocenti equivalents as Italian supply was known to be stopping. By the end of the decade Serveta scooters were being sold in the United States and the UK under their own name. Production finally ceased in 1989. The Jet 200 was produced from 1971 and allowed Lambretta owners to continue their love affair with a new Lambretta after the Italian factory closed in the same year. The Jet 200 utilised an SX200 engine using the same top-end configuration as the Italian version with a similar HP and a Spanish made Dellorto SH20 carburettor. The gearbox was identical to the Italian SX200 and performance was overall the same. A slight larger fuel tank gave a longer range however.They were known as a very well built engine as good if not better than the Italian counterpart for reliability. The body styling was based around the Italian Li ‘Scooterlinea’ but with SX style hexagonal head set. The biggest body change was the airbox being diverted as air flow through grills in the underseat tool box which was separated by a divider in the tool box door. The accessory leg shield box more than made up for the storage space.This scooter has received a full and substantial physical and mechanical restoration by Classic Lambrettas of Nottingham (now Simply Retro) at a cost of over £2500 according to the vendor.

Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. This 1959 A10R Super Rocket was converted into a café racer in the 1960s and bought by the previous vendor’s father in 1968 as only its fourth owner, and it's been part of the family ever since, having spent all of its life in the North East. Used as his ‘go to work’ and ‘weekend pleasure’ bike, it was tuned and sprinted with some success by the owner and then eventually mothballed in a garden shed for a number of years. Taken out of hibernation by his son, it has undergone a complete restoration, mainly carried out by Spitfire Motorcycles and various specialist engineers over the last four years. The wheels have been rebuilt using CWC stainless steel rims shod with period-correct Dunlop TT100 tyres and all of the chassis components have been restored and refinished. The engine has been overhauled, including a crank re-grind and a cylinder head overhaul with new valves, guides and lead-free seats fitted. The cylinder has been honed with new pistons and rings. Whilst the bike was tuned in its day, it has now been fitted with low compression pistons and lead-free valve seats to make it easier to start and more usable with modern-day fuels. Sat in the vendor's collection, the BSA has been run occasionally and some light recommissioning may be required before use. This is an authentic 1960s café racer that has had over £12,000 spent on its restoration. Supplied with lots of receipts, a handwritten log of work carried out, its original ‘buff’ logbook, and a current V5C.

The Mk3 differed from previous versions of the LD with a handlebar-mounted casting that housed the horn and a fixed glovebox inside the leg shield that housed the speedometer and optional clock. It also had slightly larger and more comfortable saddles. This example is destined to be seen by a national TV audience as the feature vehicle in an episode of ‘Shed and Buried’, the popular Discovery Channel programme, scheduled to be broadcast on TV this summer. As documented in the TV show, it was acquired as part of a deal with a car involving TV presenter Henry Cole and his team. The scooter looks to be in good order and retains many original parts including the original speedometer. As a standard LD150, we note that the chassis number is very late and that the engine number is extremely late making this one of the last LD engines ever built. A set of side panels are also included. A fully working scooter, it was ridden some distance by Henry Cole. We were able to see the scooter running and functioning very well at the time of consignment. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 1731 MOT: ExemptAuthentically restored example of an AJS 'Boy Racer'Extensive recommissioning by Stuart Tonge in 2018Thought to be one of Tom Arters 1961 team bikesA.J. Stevens began producing motorcycles in 1897 and soon became known as simply AJS. An amalgamation with Matchless in 1931 formed AMC which continued until the group's closure in the mid-1960s. The company promoted its standard road bikes by successfully competing in sports events with some advanced designs such as the pre-war AJS 500 with a water-cooled and supercharged V4 engine. On resumption of sports events after WW2, Les Graham won the first 500cc World Championship on the twin-cylinder AJS Porcupine in 1949. The 7R was an OHC single-cylinder 350cc racing motorcycle built from 1948 to 1963 that was soon nicknamed the ‘Boy Racer’. Together with its bigger brother, the Matchless G50, it was the mainstay of racing throughout the 1950/60s winning many events for both the works team and privateers alike, becoming one of the most successful over-the-counter competition motorcycles of all time.This stunning-looking 7R was bought by the vendor 10 years ago to add to his small private collection of British classics. In 2018 the bike was recommissioned by recognised expert Stuart Tonge who carried out an in-depth engine overhaul and a brakes and suspension service at a cost of £3,758. Once completed it was run up on a dyno showing it putting out just under 32bhp with an open 'mega'. Since then it has been run each year and then returned to dry storage. It is thought to be one of three bikes run by legendary sponsor and tuner Tom Arter in 1961, as part of his race team that fielded riders such as New Zealander Hugh Anderson and Canadian Mike Duff. As is always the case with race bikes, it is difficult to verify this as the bikes would have been constantly taken apart and rebuilt throughout their competition career. It's rare to find such an iconic and originally presented bike as this and it will make a fantastic addition to any collection. It comes supplied with copies of the dyno charts and the receipt for the recommissioning work from Stuart Tonge.

Many of the parts were imported from Italy and the 152L2 is unique in that it has a mix of Italian and British made parts. The engine was a rotary inducted design which improved reliability, gave more power but reduced fuel consumption and required less oil in the fuel mix with the carburettor was relocated to a position just above the engine. As a whole package it was a much more professional looking machine whilst retaining many similar features of the desirable lines of the GS. They are now becoming increasingly collectible as with most of the Bristol made Vespas. This 152L2 with correct engine and chassis numbers is in a well presented condition. Restored by SRP Racetech of Bridgewater, the paintwork was carried out by Steve Robertson of Taunton. It was used to transport 'Santa Claus' and for other novelty events in the sidecar, but has seldom been used since it was restored. The racks front and rear are original Douglas supplied accessories.

Debuting in 1919, the Verus range included 211cc and 269cc two-stroke engines of its own manufacture as well as larger proprietary four-stroke units from Blackburne and JAP. Appearing to be substantially complete even down to its branded footplates, this rare surviving Verus is thought to date from circa 1920. Part of a collection of rare and unusual Vintage motorcycles, it has been off the road and unregistered for years. Pleasingly retaining its Verus engine, the lightweight single will require recommissioning / renovation prior to use. Entered from a deceased estate, it is being sold without reserve or paperwork. An age-related number plate will have to be applied for should a new owner wish to return it to the King’s Highway.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: VSB1T (SRU 3281) MOT: ExemptBelieved to have been sold new by Grimsteads on 21st May 1962, the day of GS160 release in Great BritainUnderstood to have been upgraded by Eddie Grimstead to SS180 specificationAbsolute time warpOriginal green continuation logbookLaunched in 1962 the GS160 was quite a departure from the earlier 150 version and marked the beginning of the new era of the more powerful and many would say more reliable Vespas. With a larger cylinder and clutch the engine case being altered and with spare wheel mounted on the left side of the body. Almost every internal engine part was changed and a different air box and carburettor were used. This necessitated even wider engine cowls than the 150 and the most pleasing and the widest (yet still rounded) ‘behind’ ever seen on a Vespa. And it helped credibility being the fastest standard Italian scooter on the road for a short period in 1962 before Lambretta could launch their TV200 in 1963 (it was reportedly faster than the TV175). Overall, with a fairly blistering performance of 8.9HP and with rounded design features that hid the spare wheel and internalised the luggage, the GS160 is regarded by many as the pinnacle best combination of Vespa performance and style. Eddie A. Grimstead & Son Ltd was a London scooter dealer with 2 premises in the east of the city. By the time of the GS160 release in 1962 scooter sales to older buyers were beginning to wane. 'Grimsteads' specialised in the sale of GS Vespas with the emphasis on tuning and the fitting of attractive accessories. It became a Mecca for younger scooter buyers and was in tune with the Mod culture of the time.In current ownership for over 15 years, we are advised the vendor traced this 1962 Vespa's history through the details on the original continuation logbook, believing it was sold new by Eddy Grimstead’s dealership on May 21st, 1962, the day the GS160 was released in Great Britain. It's understood to have been upgraded at 'Grimsteads' to SS180 specification, featuring a 180 top end, an SS180 leg shield badge and the original ‘Grimstead Hurricane’ speedometer. The scooter was re-framed onto a Mk2 Service Replacement Chassis (SRU), but the engine remains the original GS160 engine, number 549 off the production line. The continuation logbook, which lists the engine size as 180, picks up from when the last London owner moved to Norwich. The scooter comes with tax discs from its last years on the road, the last one dated 1977. The engine is free and turning, although it hasn’t been started since 1977. Adorned in Grimstead style, the scooter features original accessories from the era, including an Ulma horncast, wheel discs, leg shield trim, Florida bars and Vigano Jag lights. It also has two spare wheels and Miller spotlights mounted on the front Ulma crash bars. With unique patina, the scooter’s originality is remarkable, making it a true time warp piece of Mod history.This scooter is adorned with a full array of period accessories all from the era and probably sold with the scooter including Ulma horncast, wheel discs, leg shield trim and Florida bars and other accessories including Vigano Jag lights and rear rack and a Metalplast GS mudflap. In keeping with the mod tradition the scooter has 2 spare wheels. And the front Ulma crash bars have Miller spotlights mounted. We note that the headset was highly polished at some point and that the side panels had been chromed and the resulting patina that time has allowed quite simply cannot be replicated.

An initial diversification into 4-wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war, Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles, by the early 1960s they were second only to Honda in number of two-wheelers manufactured. The oil-cooled GSXR750 was launched in 1985 and revolutionized the sports bike market, making all the other manufacturer's offerings obsolete overnight and dominating production-based racing around the world. Suddenly you could go to your local shop and buy a race ready bike over the counter, just take off the mirrors and indicators and race it that weekend. Famously Trevor Nation rode an early GSXR750F to a couple of Formula One World Championship races in Portugal and Spain with his tent strapped on the back, running in the top six in both races until problems with the gear change linkage slowed him down. The GSXR range eventually spread out to include race replicas from 250cc to 1100cc models. By the early 1990s the bikes became water-cooled to comply with noise regulations, but the 'Gixxer' range kept its reputation as the sports bike rider’s choice.

Suddenly you could go to your local shop and buy a race ready bike over the counter, just take off the mirrors and indicators and race it that weekend and the 'Gixxer built up an enviable reputation as an out and out sports bike.This GSXR750 Slingshot is presented in excellent and original condition, even down to the genuine Suzuki end can, showing just a credible 8360 miles on the speedo. The 1990 'L' model was the first to be fitted with upside-down front forks and the engine had reverted to the earlier long stroke design more favoured by racers. A bike that was built to be used and abused in its day, few will have survived in original and standard condition and many have suffered the ignomy of being converted into Streetfighters. This excellent example is still a very usable performance bike that has all the potential to be a fast appreciating future classic. It has been MOTd every year up until 2019 and has been serviced and MOTd in March this year and will be supplied with a current V5C.

Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day, making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. The 250cc single-cylinder Crusader was a very popular bike in its day and doubtless sparked the interest of many a future motorcyclist. The Bright Red Continental GT sports version was launched in November 1964 in a blaze of publicity. The company organised a ride from John O’Groats to Land’s End to be completed in 24 hours, with various journalists riding the bike. As an extra test, former World Champion Geoff Duke completed a few laps of Oulton Park and John Cooper completed eight laps of the near-frozen Silverstone race track, the quickest at a very impressive 73mph average. Including stopping off at the race tracks, the whole trip took just 22 hours and 20 minutes. This 1967 Royal Enfield Continental GT was purchased by the late vendor as a project and since in his ownership he has carried out a lot of work on the engine and with some upgrades as well. Sadly, this Enfield has not been finished, however, it should necessitate little work to complete. It is offered with a host of spares including its fairings and sundry items. There is a current V5C, a copy of a workshop manual and its original RF60 logbook. It is offered at 'no reserve'. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

It has a unique frame with circular tank. A dressguard extends rearwards from the tank to protect the rider's clothes’. Sharing the same 2¼hp two-stroke engine and two-speed transmission as its Model 201 sibling, the ‘step through’ machine remained in production for several years. Although, survivors are comparatively scarce today.Entered from a deceased estate, this charming Royal Enfield formed part of the late vendor’s collection of rare and unusual British motorcycles for many years.

The firm built its first competition models in 1952 and introduced a scrambler a couple of years later. A scooter, the 98cc Bambi, had been added to the range by 1960, but DMW’s next offering in this category would be more unusual. First seen in 1961, the Deemster was intended to combine the riding position and handling characteristics of a conventional motorcycle with scooter-type weather protection and enclosure. The Deemster’s twin-cylinder Villiers 250cc 2T engine was located centrally, in the motorcycle position, while the interchangeable wheels were 12” in diameter. Suspension was by leading-link fork at the front, with rubber ‘spring’ and single hydraulic damper, and by swinging arm at the rear. The frame was made up from a combination of round and square-section tubing to which a large box fabricated box was attached, supporting the seat and rear dampers while providing sufficient luggage space to accommodate two crash helmets. With its tall screen, twin headlamps, generously sized leg shields and voluminous front mudguard, the Deemster was certainly eye-catching. Only 350 were produced and a police version proved the bulk of these sales with around 250 sold to police fleets.This scooter’s known history from new starts when Staffordshire Police purchased eight of these machines registered MRE 1B through to MRE 8B. First registration is stated as 1st August 1964, as confirmed by the accompanying old style blue log book The original rider assigned was Constable Frederick Fox and we have learned that Fred was so attached to the machine that when it was retired from service he bought it. He later donated it to the Staffordshire Police museum which, in 2002, released it onto the market when it was purchased by our vendor though he never used it. The scooter is complete and appears to be in exceptionally good original condition having been stored with a coating of grease which has even preserved all rubbers. No attempt was made to start it upon inspection but we observed that the engine turns freely. Offered with current V5C, original tools, users handbooks and a workshop manual for the Villers engine.

Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released, thus launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The 3-cylinder 750cc Trident was essentially one and a half 500cc twins and proved to be the last success story for the company, with the bike going on to dominate the early years of the Formula 750 race series. This 1975 Triumph Trident T160, with its striking livery, is a genuine UK-supplied T160 from new. The Trident presents very well and has formed part of a private collection since it was acquired by the current vendor. The previous owner has carried out some restoration work on the T160 to a good standard with the engine having been stripped and rebuilt using some upgrade parts such as Tri-Spark ignition, 12v coil, negative earth with relays, high-output battery, plasma coated valves, Cosibro guides, Hepolite pistons with Omega rings, a re-ground crank with shells and screws and a new machined clutch, with the majority of the parts and work having been supplied by L.

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest producer in the world. They have gone on to manufacture over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The JDM Japanese Domestic Market favoured smaller capacity bikes, especially in the 250cc to 400cc bracket. Many of the 600cc and above models Honda sold in Europe were offered on the home market in smaller capacity versions, creating some wonderful lightweight sports bikes. Some of these made their way to the UK through the grey import market, allowing us access to these pocket rockets. This 250 Hornet has a 4-cylinder DOHC engine that revs to an incredible 16,000rpm, housed in an unfaired chassis sporting a distinctive high-level silencer offering good performance in a lightweight package. It has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection for the last 10 years and was probably his favourite bike to ride. Its higher handlebars provide a comfortable riding position with a fairly low seat height. Run recently, it is offered with a number of old MOTs and a current V5C.

After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a pushbike with a clip-on engine. By the 60s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, Ducati's chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. An immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race, started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The SS range of air-cooled twins in various capacities offered a simpler alternative to Ducati's more expensive 8-valve Superbikes with the ultimate version being the 900 Superlight. This limited edition model had a dry weight of just 381lbs making it lighter than some 250s. This rare and collectible 900SL is a Mk5 model, the last of the Superlight range incorporating all the upgrades developed over the preceding years. The plaque on the top yoke shows it as being number 58 of the limited edition run of Mark 5 bikes manufactured in 1996. Presenting to an excellent standard in unrestored and original condition, the speedo shows just a credible 6,231 miles. Owned by the vendor for the last 10 years, he has kept it maintained and is currently MOT'd until February 2026 and it will come supplied with an owner's manual, various receipts and both keys together with current V5C. Very fittingly, the registration number could be perceived to be 'P 90O SL' and complements the bike perfectly.

In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. Developed for their Manx Norton race bikes, the legendary featherbed frame eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc twin cylinder engine in the Dominator 88. Further development increased the engine size and the introduction of the 650SS in 1962 formed the ultimate expression of the Dominator range. When coupled with Norton's Roadholder forks, it became the ultimate 'Cafe Racer' in the 1960s. The SS is a very rare bike nowadays, as so many have been stripped down to become donor bikes for various featherbed-framed specials.This 1964 Norton 650 SS was fully restored over 20 years ago. The current vendor purchased 'PMB 335B' in 2020 in very good condition, with just over 7,000 miles on the clock and it still looks to be very original with matching engine and frame numbers.

Si King and Dave Myers established a joyous friendship that was a draw for audiences from 2009 until 2023, beginning their TV career in 2009 when they hosted a 30-part daytime series for BBC Two, The Hairy Bikers' Food Tour of Britain. Dave was even a contestant on BBC's 2013 series of 'Strictly Come Dancing'. Their friendship began when they met on TV sets, where Si was a location manager and Dave was a make-up and prosthetics artist. A love of food and bikes had led to the format that featured the pair riding motorbikes, including the BMW R1200GS, F650GS and Triumph Rocket III, between different communities where they'd cook. Dave met his wife Liliana on the show, and following her loss she has spoken about his 'last horse' (the BSA Goldstar) during a series of BBC and Channel 5 TV interviews. Dave Myers said he hoped he'd be remembered as someone "who had a go" and that he hoped people around him would "never limit" their goals. The bike represents Dave's last adventure and his spirit and fight. At one stage he didn't know whether he would even be able to ride his 'last horse' or not on screen. As well as raising funds for charities close to Dave's heart, the BSA might find a new owner that would use the machine on 'Dave Day 2025', which follows on from the 2024 event (as seen on TV) that saw 46,000 bikers remember Dave and the vitality his life represents, in a bike ride from London's Ace Cafe to Dave's home town of Barrow in Furness. For what was to be his last TV series – ‘The Hairy Bikers Go West’ on BBC2 – the classic looks and contemporary performance of a 2023 BSA Gold Star proved irresistible. Powered by a 652cc single-cylinder engine as a nod to its predecessor, the modern Gold Star is a far more comfortable (and faster) ride. ‘EJ23 NYA’ is believed to be in 'Legacy' spec with the chrome mudguards, and has seen very little use since the completion of filming. To further honour Dave's memory, the museum had curated a special static display featuring life-size cut-outs of both Si King and Dave Myers, alongside the BSA, creating a poignant synergy that celebrates their enduring friendship.Proceeds from the sale will be donated to NSPCC Childline and CancerCare North Lancashire & South Cumbria, reflecting Dave's generous spirit and commitment to giving back. We invite enthusiasts, fans, and collectors to join us in celebrating Dave Myers' legacy and to participate in this unique opportunity to own a piece of motorcycling history.

They built some interesting vehicles using engines from Sachs, DEMM, Kerry and FB Minarelli – usually 49cc two-stroke powerplants. As a quick example of their quirkiness, on one of their 50cc trail bikes they built in thermometers into the rear view mirrors! One of the rarest models from Testi was the Bagaglino, a utility trike with a 49cc FB Minarelli engine. An ideal promotional vehicle and exquisitely cute, this example is in 'running order', having been in its current ownership since 2013. Understood to have been displayed at the Kew Gardens Motor Museum at some point, the vendor languished attention on the little Testi Van to bring it to its current condition, subjecting it to an extensive restoration that included a fully repainted and powder-coated chassis and a suspension and brake overhaul. It is being offered with a spare engine, a collection of photographs and, by separate negotiation, there is a custom trailer available.

Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made their first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomise British motorcycles in the post-war years. The 500cc OHV twin was a major turning point for the British motorcycle industry being lighter than many contemporary singles with significantly more power and torque, prompting most other manufacturers to follow suit with similar models. The basic layout survived in various engine sizes up to 750cc until the eventual closure of the factory in the early 1970s. Triumph staged a remarkable comeback in the 1990s with a range of completely new machines based on the spirit of bikes like the original Speed Twin. This beautifully presented Speed Twin, finished in distinctive 'Amaranth Red', is an early post-war model with the gauges set in a panel in the fuel tank like the pre-war models but with telescopic front forks, fitted once Triumph resumed production after WW2 in 1947. Restored keeping a good degree of originality, including a period style tyre pump and the panel lamp that is usually missing, it was bought by the vendor about 20 years ago and has only been ridden sparingly since. It is offered with a current V5C and a parts manual. Dry stored in recent years, it will need recommissioning before use.

Aside a limited run of homologation specials; fortunately, in 1975 Ducati introduced the 900SS, a machine that shared the same DNA whilst being built in greater numbers. It adopted the square case 860cc engine whilst retaining the 750SS cycle. The Silver and Blue livery worn by the first examples changed to a Black and Gold livery for 1978 which continued until 1980.This Ducati 900SS was purchased on 6th February 1980 from Apple Motorcycles in Hinckley, the original sales receipt is in the comprehensive document folder supplied with the bike. It has had only two owners and has been in the same family since new, ridden regularly during the early 1980s, including trips to the Isle of Man and to Grand Prix events in Germany and Holland. The GB sticker is still present on the original dual seat which will be included in the sale, the single seat was fitted in 2020. In the mid-1980s, the bike was put away in storage, however, it was kept clean and the engine turned over at various intervals. 2015 saw the bike sold to another family member who recommissioned the machine with full overhauls of the front and rear Brembo brakes, including new Hel Performance brake lines and the Dellorto carburettors which were also comprehensively rebuilt with many new internals, including floats and accelerator pump diaphragms purchased from Eurocarb Ltd. As part of the recommissioning process, the original-fit Speedline Gold magnesium wheels were replaced with stainless spoked wheels. The original magnesium wheels will be supplied with the bike along with the original plastic bellmouths and indicators. The clutch action has been improved by the addition of the longer clutch action arm, giving a much lighter easier pull at the clutch lever. The engine has never been apart, and the factory lead seal is still present on the front cylinder exhaust locking ring. The paint, decals and fairing/screen are all original with no respraying or replacements.

Veloce was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was involved in international motorcycle racing from the mid-1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles and its still unbeaten record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single-cylinder machine. The legendary 350cc KSS featured an overhead camshaft engine, quite rare in a road bike at the time, and formed the basis of the championship-winning KTTs. This KSS is part of a deceased estate, so unfortunately, not much is known of its history. According to the Owner's Club records, it was exported to dealer Jack Frodsham in California in April 1940, the engine no. KSS9227 now fitted was despatched at the same time in a different frame to the same dealer, so it must have been swapped at some time. Having spent most of its life overseas, it was re-patriated in 2010 and has been owned by a Velo enthusiast in the UK for the last 15 years. Presented in authentic condition, it has not been run for a number of years, so it will need recommissioning, however, the engine turns on the kickstarter. The mag and timing cover were loose when being photographed, so they must have been worked on by the vendor before ill health took over. Supplied with various manuals and owner's books together with its California title and 2010 import paperwork to aid registration in the UK. A rare opportunity to acquire a pre-war KSS at 'no reserve'. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189
