Registration No: XYE 822N Frame No: 1192 MOT: Exempt Understood to have been UK registered from new Offered with current V5CCurrent ownership since 2018Very original and rare 'monkey bike'Said to be in 'good' running orderFantic Motor began in 1968 by manufacturing and exporting enduro motorcycles, mini-bikes and go-karts. Today they continue in the same genre, with the descriptions changed to the modern categories of 'dual-sport' and 'motard'. Fantic began exporting to the United Kingdom in 1972, as part of a wave of manufacturers who took advantage of 'sixteener laws'. The Fantic TX7 was a rare and original monkey bike produced in the mid-1970s by the Italian manufacturer. Known for its compact size and distinctive design, the TX7 featured a 49cc engine and was popular for its agility and ease of handling. It was often used for short-distance travel and recreational riding.Understood to have been UK registered from new with V5 in 1974, this TX7 is a very original and rare 'monkey bike' that presents in a glorious 1970s Gold colour. This particular example is offered 'in good running order'. It has been with the current vendor since 2018 and is offered with a current V5C.

Registration No: DBC 593C Frame No: 709905 MOT: ExemptGenuine barn findOffered at 'no reserve'Correct numbers with engine 749155V5C for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta Li Series 3 was launched in 1962. It was a remarkable change from the previous Li Series 2 with new sleek and slim styling. The Li Series 3 also had better performance than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. This example is very complete and has recently been pulled out of an English barn. It had belonged to the vendor's mother's godfather who passed away some 15 years ago. There are original parts and badges all over and it is still standard. There is a fibreglass ‘special’ style front mudguard and later special SX-type side panels which are in good order. The scooter is very solid and there's an interesting aftermarket accessory seat with a Red cover. The tax disc with the scooter suggests it was last on the road in 1978. However, the vendor has been able to obtain the V5C for this scooter with its original registration number. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: 176 YUX Frame No: 150Li*526131 MOT: ExemptFull restoration by Dave Barrett with new RT 230 engine at cost of over £4,500Superbly presentedV5 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.This extremely presentable ‘framebreather’ has been carefully considered to be a real riders scooter but retaining the classic Series 1 originality and design features. The paint condition is of an exceptional standard. On the instructions of our vendor the restoration work was entrusted to the highly regarded Dave Barrett of Bridgewater. The engine specified was an RT230 viewed as one of the best engines available for Lambrettas for power and reliability, coupled with a BGM carburettor and big bore exhaust. The scooter, of course, has been converted to 12v with added ignition and the speedometer is a new 90 MPH Veglia version. There is ample luggage space with a large inside leg shield glove box in addition to the underseat top box. The seat itself is a quality Italian made Pegasus version by Trezzi.

Registration No: XVM 33S Frame No: TRW29145NA MOT: ExemptOriginally presented TRW military bikeSupplied on MOD contact number 3231Includes 3 workshop manuals and a V5CTriumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. 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 TRW was designed by Bert Hopwood in the early 1940s, primarily for use by the armed forces in WW2. It was based on the existing Speed Twin but with a cheaper to manufacture and maintain side valve top end and a sturdy rigid frame to carry extra weight. Not helped by the Coventry factory being bombed in 1940 necessitating a move to a brand new factory in Meriden, by the time it was ready to go into production the war was over. However, Edward Turner realised there was still a demand for simple durable military vehicles, so full production started in 1948 with not only the British armed forces but many Commonwealth countries using the TRW until the 1960s. This TRW, being offered at 'no reserve', is from a deceased estate, so not much is known of its history. According to the frame number and the brass plate on the chainguard it was built in October 1964 and supplied to the MOD on contract number 3231. Offered in original condition still showing its military number stencilled on the headlamp nacelle, it has been stood for a number of years but the engine turns over on the kickstarter. It appears to have been first registered in civilian use in 1978 and comes supplied with rear pannier frames, some workshop manuals and a current V5C.

Registration No: 496 DNY Frame No: H10765 MOT: ExemptIn current ownership for the last 56 yearsPurchased of his best friend at the timeTriumph Dating Certificate on fileSome light recommissioning requiredCurrent V5C on fileTriumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the 1900s the company had made their first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner designed Speed Twin launched a range of Triumph twins that epitomised British motorcycles. The 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 new machines very much based on the spirit of bikes like the original Speed Twin. On offer is a 1959 Triumph Speed Twin that was purchased by the current vendor way back in 1969 (some 56 years ago) as a mode of transport for work. The Triumph sat around for a short while before being put back into use, although it still hasn't seen much use in recent times. The Speed Twin will now require a general check-over before being placed back on the road again due to storage. It comes complete with a V5C, the old RF60 logbook and a Dating Certificate.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 64321 MOT: ExemptPart of a private British motorcycle collection for many yearsThe subject of an older restorationOn static display in recent times so will require recommissioning prior to useIntroduced in 1939, the Triumph Tiger 100 (or T100) shared much of its DNA with the Edwad Turner designed ‘Speed Twin’. Recommencing production after WW2, the model was upgraded with telescopic front forks and subject to ongoing revision. Switching from magneto to coil ignition for 1953 and adopting a sprung rather than rigid frame the following year, the Triumph could be had with a range of ‘over the counter’ tuning kits. Displacing 500cc, its ‘vertical twin’ engine lacked the grunt of the more overtly sporting T120 Bonneville but was arguably the sweeter powerplant. Reputedly subject to an older restoration prior to joining the late vendor’s collection of British motorcycles, this pre-unit machine has been on static display for many years and so will require recommissioning prior to use. Offered for sale without reserve or paperwork, a new owner will have to enlist the help of the Triumph Owners’ Club should they wish to have the Tiger 100 re-registered with the DVLA.

Registration No: DBL 84B Frame No: T12015440 MOT: ExemptRestored to a good standard and lightly used sinceSought after 'Bonnie'Offered with a current V5C and old MOTsDebuting in 1959, the Bonneville is arguably the definitive British sporting vertical twin. Derived from its Tiger 110 stablemate and influenced by production racing practice, the newcomer featured a twin carburettor-fed cylinder head. The model was revised annually to keep it ahead of rivals. New frames were introduced in 1960 and 1963, the latter coinciding with a switch to unit construction. For 1964 the Bonneville benefited from new front forks fitted with external springs and the adoption of steel mudguards, while its 650cc engine was made freer breathing and gained larger carburettor chokes. Differences existed between the US and UK market machines, the former utilising higher set handlebars and an alternative twist grip. However, variants on both sides of The Pond featured a Gold over Alaskan White petrol tank complimented by Gold-striped White mudguards. Accompanied by lots of receipts for parts and work carried out, this handsome T120R is understood to have seen light use since being restored to a good standard. Reportedly a ‘matching numbers’ machine, it is finished in authentic colours and offered for sale with a current V5C Registration Document and sundry MOT paperwork.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 10922 MOT: ExemptMatchless G80CS 500cc desert racer modelRumoured to have been built and sold by Bud EkinsSupplied with import papers and California US TitleMatchless is one of the oldest marques of British motorcycles, manufactured in Plumstead, London, between 1899 and 1966. A wide range of models was produced under the Matchless name, ranging from small two-strokes to 750cc four-stroke twins. The marque had a long history of racing success with a Matchless ridden by Charlie Collier winning the first single-cylinder race in the first Isle of Man TT in 1907. An amalgamation with AJS in 1931 formed Associated Motor Cycles which continued until the group's closure in the mid-‘60s. The 500cc G80CS was a competition motorcycle aimed at the US market where the bike was the one to beat in off-road events such as Hare and Hounds, Scrambles and Desert Races that were popular in the 1950s and ‘60s. Success in these events ridden by riders such as Bud Ekins and Walt Fulton ensured a healthy demand for this somewhat heavy but bulletproof model. This G80CS, being offered at 'no reserve', is from a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history. Bought by the vendor and repatriated to the UK in 2011 from California, the bike was thought to have been built by Bud Ekins and sold by him around 2005/6 at a Mid-America Auction in Las Vegas. Included in the sale is a record of email conversations the vendor had with previous owners in the US to try to verify this. It is presented in authentically restored condition with the correct 'Red Label' Lucas competition magneto, high-level exhaust and alloy mudguards. A rare model on these shores, it has been stood for a number of years, so will need recommissioning before use, but the engine turns over on the kickstart. It comes supplied with a California Title and various paperwork concerning its import to aid in registering the bike in the UK.

Registration No: BHY 361H Frame No: 22/2/257583 MOT: ExemptOriginal all over including virtually all paintCorrect numbers very close (Engine no. SX200/257622)V5C for immediate use on the roadThe DL200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters that rolled off of Innocenti’s production line in Milan. Produced from January 1969 until April 1971 it is said a total of only 9350 DL/GP200’s were made and less than 1000 were electronic the versions. The DL200 followed the SX200 and retained the engine prefix of SX200 before the serial number. The iconic bodywork followed the trends of the day of the early 1970’s. The Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors with a new 22/2 frame and rectangular headlight. There were however significant improvements to the engine over the SX including: improved crankshaft, a complete overhaul of the gearbox ratios and improved Ducati ignition. The only immediately noticeable difference between the DL and GP was the battery being absent from the DL version, and different front panel badge.Our vendor has informed us of the following: 'This 1970 manufactured DL200 was discovered in Italy by Lambretta guru Nigel Cox in the 1980s, when it was possible to find magnificent Lambrettas in states of such originality more easily than it is today. It was displayed in the Lambretta Museum in Weston Super Mare for many years but never registered in the UK until it left the museum.' Our vendor is only the second registered keeper.It is exceptional. The original ochre paint on every part on this scooter is the original as it came out of the factory with the merest of touch ups. With 6 volt original points equipment with original coil the ignition switch is the original with original keys. The body panels are a superb fit having almost certainly never been removed. The seat is the original Guiliari coffin seat in striking original condition. The cables appear to have never been removed are all fastened with the correct straps and have the correct grease nipple points. The engine nuts are all original. The original KM speedometer is showing respectable 55k KM from which we can surmise the original owner was a very careful rider. The brake adjusters are the original late short versions found on late DL/GPs. The plastic parts are also original black including the petrol flap (which even has the original plastic hinge pin), horncast front and rear frame grill. The keys that are all present for ignition, toolbox and steering lock are the correct originals and not reproductions. All of the badges are the originals as are the stickers. The smallest details that are often overlooked are present and one needs to examine the photographs to see the originality on display here of this rare scooter. There is evidence of minor touching up in a few places on the floor which was done back in the day before our vendor acquired it, but in the context of every panel having such brilliant original paint it is excusable. The forks and stand have been repainted however in the correct silver although it is not known when. We understand that the scooter is in full perfect running order. We invite the discerning collector to the auction to view this with their own eyes. In our opinion this is a very rare opportunity for the most serious collector of Lambrettas.

Registration No: Y991 DJO Frame No: ZDMS200AAYB004806 MOT: T.B.AJust one owner from newVery low mileage for its ageAll paperwork including purchase receiptA current V5C on fileDucati was established in 1926 by Antonnio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WWII 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, it began a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The ST4 was launched in 1996 to offer a sports touring alternative to Ducati's out-and-out race replica bikes using a four-valve Desmoquattro motor derived from the 916, retuned to suit the ST model. This 2001 Ducati ST4, is being offered at 'no reserve', which is from a deceased estate. A genuine one-owner machine, it was purchased through the late vendor's business and was only transferred to his wife after his passing. Not run for a few years, it will need a new battery and recommissioning before use, however, the Ducati is presented in a very original condition and is still fitted with the original silencers. It is being offered together with its colour-matched genuine Ducati QD panniers and a flip-up screen as well as all of its handbooks, purchase receipts, old MOT certificates and a current V5C.

Registration No: VSK 556 Frame No: 175TV2*220034 MOT: ExemptFrom deceased estate. Priced to sellJay Marriott built. Big specV5 for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV175 series 2 was launched in October 1959. It had an engine based on the Li150 series but with an increased capacity and the crankshaft, barrel, piston and gearbox ratio were changed. The front forks were fitted with external shock absorbers. The Rear plate and fork links were redesigned to cope with the extra power. The TV175 models were fitted with a Veglia 120 km/h speedometer face and a dual seat. The ‘Lambretta’ and ‘TV175’ side panel badges were attached to the panels with small nuts as opposed to the riveted badges on the series 2 Li panels. Often referred to as the ‘tourer’ it had a superb performance coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors.We were able to trace the recent technical history of this scooter. Built by Jay Marriott in the mid to late '60s Mod customisation style in 2012, the engine is a Rapido 225 on a SIL 200 engine with an Amal Mk1 carburettor with a Royspeed manifold. It's 12v ignition but wired into the regulator and then into an original rectifier cover. The piston is an Avanti with barrel tuned by Harry Barlow with a Mark Broadhurst cylinder head and an AF crank. It has an original TV1 BECME ignition switch still with its half-moon spring cover, a 48mm clubman exhaust, Scootopia Ulma rear carrier and an original front mudguard, a chopper-style Sidewinder seat, polished headset and rear light housing. The fog lights appear to be wired-in and airhorns are present. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: MKK 671P Frame No: 333500 MOT: ExemptJust 4 recorded owners from newAll correct factory numbersIn very good condition and recently servicedA current V5C is on fileLaunched in 1975, the Commando Mark III is generally considered to be the last of the ‘real’ Nortons. The final Norton rolled off the line in October 1977 with its side panels reading “850 Commando Electric Start.” The engine was an air-cooled parallel twin, inclined forward a few degrees, with two overhead valves per cylinder. A pair of Amal Concentric carbs fed fuel into the cylinders, with coils and points sparking the plugs. The whole engine / transmission / rear swingarm used an Isolastic Anti-Vibration System, with rubber mounting components contributing towards a refined riding experience. Displaying an unwarranted 13,800 miles to its odometer, ‘MKK 671P’ was first registered on 17th January 1976 and is said to have had just four registered keepers from new. Highly presentable in terms of its paintwork, brightwork and upholstery, the Norton has benefited from a recent service. Reported to ‘start with ease and ride very well’, this appealing Commando III is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: N/AA very exciting opportunity racing projectUltra-rare early Square Four modelA new frame and tank to factory specComplete with numerous spares and factory drawingsMorbidelli entered into the premier class of 1979 with a very special engine design of a 500cc square four, a type ridden by the world famous Valentino Rossi's father Graziano Rossi. It is not known how many were made at the time but very few exist today. This Morbidelli is an unfinished project using the last remaining original Morbidelli parts which have come directly from the factory. There are even some used parts including the original factory drawings. The frame was made in Holland and is a new item, as is the tank. Constructed using the 1979/80 tubular specification, the frame was made at great cost and attention to detail was considered at all times by the maker who also builds GP frames (we believe there isn't a number present). It is to be noted that the fairing is said to be an original Graziano Rossi item (Valentino Rossi's father). The machine is mostly dismantled and missing a gearbox, crankshaft, rods, exhaust, CDI unit, and various small items. The crankcase is original and has not been used and will need some degree of matching and adaptation to make a TZ crank fit. The project consists of a host of parts, both new and used, including unmachined cylinders and a large quantity of factory drawings, which also contain drawings for the gearbox. This is an exciting opportunity to complete a rare and desirable racing machine. To be sold at 'no reserve'. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: 114 XWD Frame No: 288974 MOT: ExemptVery rare model in the UKLargely complete with engine in placeV5C registered in the UK At the end of the 1940s the Vespa did not go unnoticed internationally and a few early VIT examples were imported or trialled by various individuals in several European countries prior to 1950 including France. A group of investors in France led by Prince Marc de Beauva-Craon formed Sarl ACMA (Ateliers de Construction de Motocycles et Accessoires) in May 1950 with the intention of licensing the Vespa from Piaggio. The company was well capitalised and swiftly set up a large factory at Fourchambault near Nevers in a huge defunct aviation factory. The relationship between Piaggio and ACMA was close from the beginning and scores of Italian engineers were sent as advisers during the set up of the license between the two companies. In June 1950 sales of directly imported Vespa versions V13T, V14T and V15T were sold by ACMA and in the latter part of 1950 alone some 1176 Italian units were sold. After these all subsequent scooters were entirely French produced. ACMA was initially a successful enterprise passing the 100,000 units sold mark as early as 1954 and even manufacturing a small car the Vespa 400. Despite all of the early success the company faced a series of setbacks at the end of the 1950s. Declining scooter sales, fierce market competition and other small cars on the market from more established manufacturers forced the business into liquidation and the factory site was purchased by SIMCA in 1961.This example is one of the last ‘handle bar’ ACMA Vespa models produced and is in extremely original condition. Despite appearances, it is relatively complete, missing the rear hub and wheel and a few other minor parts. It comes with a bonus Ardor screen and deluxe rear sprung carrier, which in itself can command a decent price on the accessory market. It is already registered for use on the road in the UK and would make a very worthwhile and attractive conservation project. Elsewhere in this auction you will also have the opportunity to buy a complete and 'verified as working' ACMA engine that would fit straight into this machine.

Registration No: LD55 YJF Frame No: WB10549A65ZL69885 MOT: ExemptJust over 42,000 miles from newHandbook and service book and two sets of keysA clean example with many extras like the additional luggage holdersThe BMW K1200LT (Luxury Tourer) was available from 1998 to 2009 and replaced the K1100LT model. As a motorcycle in the supertourer category, the K1200LT was positioned as a competitor to the Honda Gold Wing, among others. A revised model was introduced in 2004, the most important innovations were a more powerful engine with 116hp, an electro-hydraulically extendable centre stand, a new suspension element of the rear wheel guide with distance-dependent damping and optional xenon lights.This 2005 BMW K1200 has had just four owners from new and has certainly been maintained in that time. It is showing just over 42,000 miles from new and this is supported by a good amount of past MOTs for the machine. With the bonus of the extra luggage holders, it is in good overall condition for its age, with some small chips here and there. There is a box file full of receipts for work and servicing over the years plus its handbook and service book and two sets of keys are all present.

Registration No: OFO 607 Frame No: VSB1T 033282 MOT: ExemptOriginal throughout including paintFull working mechanical conditionEngine No: VSB1M 033484V5C ready for the roadLaunched 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 8.9 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 Mk2 differed from the Mk1 by using a large inside legshield toolbox.One only needs to study the photographs online to see the extraordinary condition of this original machine. We noted all aspects are original and not limited to seat and cover, lights, ignition, keys, switches, grips, rubbers, wheel rims and electronics which are still 6v points with battery. The engine and chassis are close and correct numbers and the scooter ran very sweetly at the time of consignment. The original Ulma leg shield trim are the correct Inox 207s. The paint looks great, with very few marginal light touch-ups. A more original GS160 in this condition would be very hard to find. V5C present and ready for the road.

Registration No: 5276 CR Frame No: R14 89328 MOT: Exempt'Arton' special built by Bert Bliss in the 1980sc.1960 featherbed chassis / c.1949 Square Four engineImproved 'Dragonfly' head gasket, supplied with a V5CThere has always been a fine tradition of enthusiasts building bespoke motorcycles with imaginative combinations of engines and frames. The basis for most specials is normally the legendary Norton featherbed frame, with the Triton being the most obvious example of this very British trend. A more unusual combination is to squeeze an Ariel Square Four motor into a Featherbed to build a rare and unusual bike, combining the two names of the donor bikes to create an Arton. This 'Bliss Arton' was built to a very professional standard in the 1980s by Bert Bliss using a slimline featherbed frame from a Dominator 99 and a c.1949 MkI Square Four 1000cc engine. The frame tubes had to be extended to allow the longer engine and gearbox to be fitted together with alloy rims, TLS front brake and a broad but attractive mix of cycle parts. The primary drive gearing has been raised by 10% to provide a more comfortable cruising speed, a new clutch basket fitted and the notoriously weak head gasket has been replaced with an improved version from Dragonfly Motorcycles. Owned and ridden by the vendor for the last 10 years, he reports it has been a 'fun ride, more for touring'. It is offered with a current V5C.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: A65S.8045 MOT: ExemptOriginally despatched to BSA in CaliforniaA very rewarding project of an iconic BSAMost parts to completeBSA Dating Certificate and shipping paperwork on fileThe Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to become one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. The 654cc unit-construction parallel twins were launched in 1962 as the A65 Star model with various improvements introduced throughout the decade. The Spitfire version sported twin carbs but the single-carb Thunderbolt was a more usable all round package by 1968.This 1966 BSA A65 Spitfire MkII is a very worthy project. It was originally shipped to BSA's West Coast outlet in California from BSA UK and later ended up in Invercargill, New Zealand, before being repatriated back to the UK in 2009. Some work has already been carried out during the late vendor's ownership; the engine has been completely stripped and the cases have been vapour blasted and there are several boxes of parts, both new and old, to go with the machine. On file, there's a receipt for the purchase of the BSA along with a BSA Owner's Club Dating Certificate. It is offered at 'no reserve'.

Registration No: OJR 618 Frame No: RS11593 MOT: ExemptAuthentically presented 350cc ViperFitted with alloy rims front and rearSupplied with a current V5CVelocette motorcycles were manufactured by Veloce Ltd in Hall Green Birmingham between 1905 and 1971, a family-owned firm producing mainly hand-built motorcycles and competing favorably with the bigger concerns such as BSA, Triumph and Norton. 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 "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid 1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles and its legendary, and still-unbeaten, record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single cylinder machine. The Viper was the Venom's little brother, sporting similar running gear with a 350cc engine. This well-presented Viper, part of an enthusiast's private collection for the last 10 years, has been authentically restored in the past, keeping a good degree of originality. Now that he is downsizing his collection, it is time for someone else to enjoy the bike. In essentially standard trim, apart from being fitted with alloy rims, it was ridden by the vendor last summer, however, not run since it will need the normal checks before use and comes supplied with a current V5C.

In 1955 the company moved production to North Acton, London to add scooter production.In 1955 the company entered the scooter market and introduced the model Albatross. Powered by a 224cc Villiers 1H engine. Other versions were added, fitted with Villiers engines of various capacities up to 250cc. The final model was the Flamenco designed to be more ‘Lambretta’ in appearance but it failed in the market. In 1960 production ceased. Today the Albatross is a highly respected scooter and is often described as the real Rolls Royce of Scooters. At the time it was designed to appeal to more refined scooter buyer and was pitched against the luxury machines produced by German manufacturers Heinkel, Maico and Zundapp. Due to its size, weight and design it sold poorly and production ceased in 1960.This example, in an attractive all Blue Metallic colour scheme, looks to be complete and thoroughly original. It is a later 1957 model, however, the last tax disc is from Portsmouth in 1958. The condition overall is commensurate with this and the mileage at only 1,518 can be considered reliable. This one is a time warp example with the attractive metal dealer plate on the front mudguard of Copes of Hagley Road, Birmingham, and the original and rare to see Dayton Albatross transfers on the bodywork, its condition shouts out 'almost unused' and the seat is in remarkable original condition.Late seller information: The kick start has been found so the scooter is 100% complete. This is the rarer single cylinder 225cc For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: SFR 584J Frame No: DC02984 MOT: ExemptEarly drum-braked version of the Trident T150TFitted with an electric start and Tri-Spark ignitionSupplied with many receipts and a current V5CTriumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. 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 epitomise 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. Styled by Ogle Design with its distinctive 'Ray Gun' silencers and squared-off petrol tank, the first models were fitted with front drum brakes. This look proved to be unpopular at the time and later models resorted to a more traditional Triumph layout with a rounded fuel tank and round silencers. Today, classic collectors look at the first models with more affection and they have become the most collectible of the triple series. The numbers reveal this machine was manufactured in April 1969, the first year of production but was first registered in 1970. In 2020 it was the subject of a full restoration by the vendor, a former owner of Triumph specialist L. P Williams, as a bike to be ridden and enjoyed. The cycle parts were refinished, a quality UK wiring loom has been fitted together with a Tri-Spark ignition kit and a Madigan electric starter motor fitted using T160 clutch housing. The engine has had a major overhaul, the crank has been lightened and balanced with +020" shells and mains, bores honed with good quality Goetze rings fitted and the head inspected and fitted with short valves, springs and mushroom adjusters. The primary drive has also been overhauled, the clutch lightened and balanced with a new thicker clutch plate and all engine and gearbox bearings replaced with quality items. Fuelling has been looked after by a bank of new Amal carbs. The bike comes supplied with over 40 receipts, including ones from the recent restoration adding up to over £4,000, and a current V5C. A very well-sorted early Trident that has been rebuilt to ride by a recognised marque specialist for his own personal use.

Twenty years later the un-faired Monster began as a styling exercise, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, but it took time to convince the management at Ducati to build it. Once launched 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. The model was eventually made available from 600cc upwards with various engine and chassis permutations. This 620 Monster has been part of an enthusiast small private collection for the last couple of years. It is the Limited Edition 'Dark' version with a distinctive Matt Black finish and small nose cone fairing, presented in standard trim, apart from a pair of Termignoni exhaust and a carbon fibre front mudguard. The speedo displays a credible 4,903 miles supported by 12 old MOT certificates and many receipts documenting its extensive service history. The original book back is supplied with owner's manuals, the service book, key code card and Datatag pack as well as a current V5C.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: ExemptBelieved Italian builtSolid enoughEngine turnsThe VBA/VBB range of Vespas were the immediate successors to the long running ‘handlebar’ scooters of the 1950’s and had cast handlebars like the GS. The VBA had a completely redesigned body and engine which formed the basis for decades of future Vespas. The engine was a rotary inducted design which improved reliability and fuel consumption whilst requiring less oil in the fuel mix. The carburettor was relocated to a position just above the engine. The whole package was a much more professional looking machine whilst retaining many similar features of the desirable lines of the GS. The VBB replaced the VBA in 1960 and increased the gears from 3 to 4 whilst also making some aesthetic improvements to the look including an attractively shaped clam shape speedometer, alloy leg shield border and GS style rear light. Today the VBB is an appealing Vespa and an appreciating model. This VBB is believed to be Italian built but due to the speedometer layout it has almost certainly been re-imported from the Far East. It is complete and the engine turns and its still standard on 6v electronics. The chassis number could be made clearer with more work. Offered for sale with no reserve.Late seller information: This scooter is supplied with a large amount of spares and parts.

The story, as we understand it, is that this scooter was home-built by a very capable engineer and was used in the building of moorings on the Broads for the Norwich Yacht Club Marina. It was apparently used and kept fastened to a derrick that had been used for pile-driving moorings into the river. We note that the engine is a 1956 Vespa Douglas 125cc motor and the handlebars, wheels and suspension are all probably from the same Vespa. It looks to be a complete vehicle with numerous motorcycle and home-engineered parts and exhaust. Offered at 'no reserve'.

When re-introduced after the war, plunger rear suspension and telescopic Roadholder forks were standard. In 1948 the engine received a major redesign including an oil feed to the rocker box, stronger timing side crankcases and a largely improved valve train. 1950 saw the introduction of the Laydown gearbox. This 1950 Norton ES2 on offer has had just three previous owners from new. A full restoration was carried out by the previous owner, including an engine overhaul, new big end and small end, all new bearings throughout, valves, guides, a reconditioned magneto and dynamo. All the running gear has also been replaced or overhauled where necessary. The current vendor purchased the Norton for his collection, and in that time, it has not been used very much, and just run-up several times a year, to keep the oil going around. The Norton is offered with a current V5C and details of its 2018 purchase. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Early motorcycles were affectionately known as 'Franny Bs' and were produced for enthusiasts and as affordable bikes for use as general transport. The majority of the lighter motorcycles used Villiers two-stroke engines with the later bigger capacity models using Associated Motor Cycles engines. AMC took over Francis & Barnett Limited in 1947 merging with the James motorcycle company in 1957, and remained in business until 1966. This Francis Barnett Cruiser 80 single, being offered with 'no reserve', is part of a deceased estate having been part of the vendor's collection of mainly British bikes. As a lifelong motorcyclist, he maintained and rode all of his bikes in VJMC events, runs and rallies. Francis Barnetts are a good introduction to classic motorcycling featuring a sturdy and simple to maintain design with an easy to work on two-stroke engine. Not run for a while due to ill health, it will need recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C. Please note: The frame number listed has been taken from the V5C as it is not clearly visible under a thick layer of paint. There's also an engine number typography error on the V5C; it shows as 197CH instead of 19764 as stamped on the crankcases.

Keys presentV5C present for use on the roadsIn 1952 a group of Basque businessmen trading as Lambretta Locomociones SA obtained a licence to build Lambretta scooters in Spain. Production began two years later at a purpose built factory in Eibar. Sales were good and around 1964 the company began to use the name Serveta SA for its own commercial activities. In 1965 The Scooterlinea was presented to the public first in Barcelona then in Madrid. The slender and more aerodynamic body shape followed the Italian series 3 styling albeit some years after in timeline. Some argue that the Spanish built Lambrettas were of a superior quality.Here we present a very original and straight example in full running condition. Still on 6V points and with its original ‘El Tigre’ seat which is in fabulous original condition. Some of the rubbers around the scooter have had to be renewed but only when absolutely necessary according to the vendor, and of course new tyres. The carburettor was ultrasonically cleaned and the engine is absolutely standard and unmodified with its original piston and barrel from new. The engine was however subject to a full de-coke and replacement gaskets and at the time of consignment it has to be said that the engine sounded very good. On further inspection the cables all appear to be original with correct oilers in place. The vendor told us that he had never opened the headset in his ownership because everything worked and he has never had to. The scooter is complimented by original Spanish accessories including front bumper and flat rear spare wheel holder. A very honest scooter in our opinion. Spanish 150 engines are quite sought after nowadays as the wider barrel mouth is suitable to directly accommodate many of the upgrade engine kits including Quattrini kits.

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. In 1958 the Honda Cub was released and has become the best-selling motorised vehicle ever produced with over 100 million sales in every corner of the world. The Cub was sold in 50cc, 70cc and 90cc engine sizes and could stake a claim for being the most important and influential motorised vehicle ever designed. To put things into context, the Cub range has sold more individual units than the top three best-selling cars combined!This original and unrestored C90 Cub, being offered at 'no reserve', is the rare electric start version not often seen in the UK. Part of a deceased estate, the bike has not been run for a while, so it will need recommissioning and probably a new battery, but the engine turns over on the kickstart. Fitted with a period top box and carrier, it is supplied with a current V5C. The registration number appears on the HPI database as 'Vehicle Recorded As INSURANCE THEFT On Condition Alert Register' which is dated 2003.

Registration No: R 1197 Frame No: 637 MOT: ExemptAn excellent restoration of a rare 500cc ArielThought to be a 3½hp Tourist Trophy modelSupplied with lots of paperwork and a V5CLike many British motorcycle companies, Ariel began producing bicycles in the late 1800s eventually progressing onto motorcycles in the early 1900s, in fact their first foray into the production of vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine was in 1898 when a tricycle powered by a 1 3/4hp De Dion engine was displayed at Crystal Palace in 1898. In 1902 Ariel introduced their first motorcycle with a 211cc Minerva engine. This model laid the foundation for Ariel's subsequent success as a motorcycle manufacturer, prompting the introduction of an engine produced in-house. Between 1902 and 1909 Ariel relied on an inlet over exhaust configuration, however, for the 1910 season they introduced a radical new design that utilised side valves mounted four and a half inches apart. The new power plant was manufactured for Ariel by White and Poppe of Coventry and displaced 482cc. Rated at 3½hp the new engine was installed in a conventional diamond frame and was initially offered in two forms, either as a direct drive machine or with a variable gear. This stunning-looking example was discovered in the hayloft of a property when purchased by the vendor for redevelopment. Research suggested that this machine was a 1911 Tourist Trophy model and realising it was a rare find, in 2007 he commissioned an enthusiast to undertake its restoration to the excellent condition it is now presented in. The bike was in quite a state when found, so it is a real credit to the restorer, a Mr J. Tullett of Norfolk, who kept a photographic record of the process that will be included in the sale. The house was located on the outskirts of Derby and had previously been owned by the head of the Rolls Royce factory located nearby, so it was possibly his own personal transport with the 'R' registration number being issued only in Derbyshire. Since restoration, the bike has been displayed in the owner's office, so it still looks as good as the day it was completed. With the help of the VMCC, the original registration number was retrieved and the bike comes with the V5C and all the documentation concerning this together with lots of other paperwork and books. Not run for a number of years, it will require some recommissioning. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Packaged as a self-contained unit that replaced the rear wheel, the assembly comprised a 25cc (later 32cc) two-stroke engine with disc valve induction that was drum mounted and fed drive via a clutch. The fuel tank was mounted neatly behind the powerplant. Manufactured by EMI of Hayes, Middlesex, the Cyclemaster was marketed to British consumers between 1950 and 1960. Dating from 1957, this particular Cyclemaster is housed aboard a Raleigh bicycle. Still road registered as ‘KAG 429’ with a corresponding V5C on file, the lightweight has recently been found in a shed alongside several other small capacity machines. Seemingly laid-up for decades, the Cyclemaster is deemed to be ‘mostly original’. The diminutive engine still has compression and the powered bike would doubtless respond to an ‘oily rag’ restoration.

It became a legendary model and also one of the most spectacular commercial successes in Vespa's history. The Primavera incorporated and combined a number of unique characteristics that had featured on other Vespa models. With previous sport models in mind like the GS, a small body like the Vespa 50 introduced in 1963 and the racing SS90, the Primavera was a fresh new model that particularly appealed to the younger rider. An elegant and quick scooter with extraordinary handling that only one who has ridden one can relate to. The standard Primavera remained in production for 15 years. This nice example has been owned by our vendor for 5 years and he had never started it. He bought it from VVC club member L. Hale who had acquired it, we understand, from the late Vespa expert Bill Drake. It was ridden at Euro Vespa 1994 in Girona, Spain. The last tax disc is 2008, with the original speedometer reading c.12,469 miles. There are many original parts all over the machine as it is still a standard 125 with original Dellorto carburettor and still 6v on original electronics. A new steering lock and key are supplied with the scooter. Despite the fact that the owner had never previously tried to start it our consultant was able to see the scooter running.

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 WWII, 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 1950 AJS 7R was purchased by the current owner's father for his collection many years ago. He used it as much as he could and at many VMCC events and parades during his ownership. It has always been kept in its current condition as he felt it didn't need to be restored like many others. It has always been maintained and we have been advised that it is a very willing machine and eager to gallop along at a fair old lick. This AJS 7R is road-registered with a V5 present, although it might be very loud! For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

It was the first mass produced sport Vespa to enter the market. The main VS1 production started at the beginning of 1955 and the ‘Vespone’ or big wasp was a tremendous overall success. A great many of the features experimented on the Sei Giorni racers transitioned to the GS. Larger 10 inch ‘star’ wheels, 4 gears in a 150cc 8 HP engine and a new body design with the machine presented in silver. The VS2 followed in 1956 with very few technical changes save the hidden cables and white speedometer. The leg shield was protected with a chrome trim. The GS (Gran Sport) was the culmination of all of the speed racers and trial versions of Vespa that had gone before. This VS2 has been treated to a sumptuous combination of original appearance with bold ‘no expense spared’ upgrades to create an astonishing riding machine. The paint was entrusted to leading experts The London Body Shop to an exacting colour spec and the paint is still in superb condition. The engine No: VS2M 17805 was subject to a thorough overall by Retrospective Scooters with AF Rayspeed top end and an upgraded crank. The carburettor is the original with balanced up-jetted fuel inflow. The suspension is an adjustable SIP shock and the exhaust is also a SIP road version. The fuel tank is a high capacity VS1 version accessory. The electronics are uprated to 12v variatronic ignition spec. The speedometer was sent off to global speedometer specialist Speed King in the US to be refurbished and returned as MPH. On close inspection the attention to detail is highly impressive from the floor running end caps to the cabling. The scooter is finished off with a number of choice original accessories including original Ulma wheel discs, original Cavalli GS150 rack and fork cover. The V5C is present.

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 epitomised British motorcycles. The 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 very much based on the spirit of bikes like the original Speed Twin.This 1960 Triumph Speed Twin was purchased by the current vendor in 2013. The vendor has since carried-out work on the Triumph to bring it up to its current condition.

It is being offered 'as seen' and with no documentation whatsoever. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: 429 XVM Frame No: 45485 MOT: ExemptRare Italian Sports 125 two-stroke singlePresented in authentically restored conditionRun recently, supplied with a current V5CMi-Val was an Italian manufacturer formed in the early 1950s when a group of businessmen from Bologna purchased the Gardonese Pietro Beretta arms factory and began producing their own range of lightweight motorcycles. Like many other small capacity bikes at the time, including the BSA Bantam and even early Yamahas, their design was heavily influenced by the pre-war German DKW RT 125. The 125cc engine was designed by the engineer Adriano Amadori, the frame by Carlo Ronzani and the suspension by Luigi Bonazzi beginning 20 years of success in sales and competition until motorcycle production ceased in the late 1960s when Mi-Val became part of the Beretta group, producing machine tools. The company also a made under licence copy of the Messerschmitt three-wheeler for the Italian market. This rare and beautiful little Mi-Val Sports Gobbetto 125 is being offered with 'no reserve'. Gobbetto is the Italian for Hunchback, a name given to it due to the shape of the fuel tank. The Sports model was a typically stylish small capacity bike that was very popular in Italian road races in the 1950s featuring a two-stroke motor, alloy wheel rims and flat handlebars. To allow the rider to get down out of the breeze for maximum speed, that distinctive fuel tank is topped off with an upholstered pad to rest on. Restored in 2018, it has been run recently and comes supplied with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Registration No: X575 UOW Frame No: 2D5200AAWB000522 MOT: NoneDesmoquattro 916 engined sports tourerIncludes a pair of genuine Ducati panniersSupplied with a workshop manual and a V5CDucati was established in 1926 by Antonnio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. 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 ST4 was launched in 1996 to offer a sports touring alternative to Ducati's out and out race replica bikes using a four-valve Desmoquattro motor derived from the 916, retuned to suit the ST model. This ST4, being offered at 'no reserve', is from a deceased estate so not much is known of its history. Not run for a few years it will need a new battery and recommissioning before use, however, the bike is presented in a very original condition and is still fitted with the original ZDM-B17 stamped silencers. It is being offered together with a pair of colour matched genuine Ducati QD panniers and a flip-up screen as well as a genuine workshop manual, a couple of old MOTs and a current V5C.

Registration No: HSJ 774 Frame No: 5235C MOT: ExemptClassic 1950s British Trials bikeSupplied with a dating letterRoad registered with a current V5CMatchless is one of the oldest marques of British motorcycles, manufactured in Plumstead, London, between 1899 and 1966. A wide range of models was produced under the Matchless name, ranging from small two-strokes to 750cc four-stroke twins. The marque had a long history of racing success with a Matchless ridden by Charlie Collier winning the first single-cylinder race in the first Isle of Man TT in 1907. An amalgamation with AJS in 1931 formed Associated Motor Cycles which continued until the group's closure in the mid-60s. In the 1950s Trials riding was a very popular sport with competitors using big British four-stroke singles, Matchless 350 and 500 models were favoured for their relatively lightweight and reliability. This authentically presented bike, being offered at 'no reserve', is from a deceased estate. Owned and ridden by its enthusiast owner in classic events over recent years, the engine number 55 G3L 1717C suggests it is a competition model with the V5C showing its capacity as being 500cc. The frame number is not visible under a good layer of paint but is stated as being 5235C, with a dating letter from 'Classic Services' saying it was made in 1955. Stood for a while, it will need recommissioning before use but will make an excellent mount for competing in pre-'65 Trials or taking part in Vintage runs and rallies. It comes supplied with a current V5C and the aforementioned dating letter. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Registration No: T41 TEU Frame No: MRD97013RC MOT: March 2026One family ownership from newA very rare Harley Metisse by Pat FrenchOver 20 years in the making of this unique machineIt comes with a current V5CBuilt by Pat French and Mark Jannink of MRD Metisse in Bristol, 'T41 TEU' was registered as a Metisse with a year-related registration number in 1999. Based around the MRD nickel-plated chrome moly oil-bearing frame and swingarm, this example has benefited from the very best components in the build. The 1198cc Sportster Evo engine was converted to chain drive with mild tuning for reliability. Spondon engineering provided the 54mm White Power Roma fork legs along with the adjustable yokes. Spondon also provided the 4 pot front brake callipers and brackets and the 320mm brake discs. The wheels are Dymag Classic H Section with cush drive. There's a WP 5140 Steering damper, carbon fibre tail unit and side panels, engine sprocket cover and chain guide, alloy Pearson petrol tank, Ohlins adjustable rear shock absorbers, headlamps from a Triumph T509, an upholstered leather hide seat, a custom-built exhaust system (very quiet) and an Elliot tachometer and RGV 250 speedometer paired-up perfectly in their custom housing. Paintwork was done by Andy at Ultimate Bike Paint. Owned in the same family since new, the bike handles very well with quick but stable handling. It draws a crowd wherever it is parked! The Metisse Harley has now been serviced with a new MOT ready for the auction. The missing side panel will be fitted before it is delivered to the auction.

Registration No: MGR 24GFrame No: V9SS1T1714MOT: ExemptKnown history from newSold new by Angelos Scooter station of Newcastle upon Tyne on 30th May 1969Fully running on original engineA copy of old blue V5 and current V5C presentThe Vespa SS90 made between 1965 and 1971 is much sought after by collectors due to its extreme rarity with just over 5000 produced. Most of these have been lost to the ravages of time and through overly ambitious riders. The SS90 was developed as a sporting variant of the small frame Vespas. With a dummy fuel tank, a centrally located spare wheel, narrower more aerodynamic fairing and a pad on top of the dummy tank riders could crouch low behind the headlight to reduce drag at higher speeds. The two-stroke 88.5cc engine used in the Super Sprint is a single-cylinder, air-cooled unit with a bore/stroke of 47/51mm and an 8.7:1 compression ratio. It’s paired with a 4-speed gearbox, the dry weight is 77kg, and the top speed is 93kmh (58mph).This SS90 has an exceptional and detailed traceable history kindly supplied to us by the vendor. This particular scooter was a gift to the vendor from his grandfather Angelo Strocco in 1981. Angelo was an Italian national and the owner of the renowned Angelos Scooter Station in Newcastle Upon Tyne, established in the early 1960s. Angelo had legendary status as a scooter expert and sold the business to Mo-Tech when he retired, at the age of 70, in 1984. Mo-Tech continues to trade from the same location in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. This 90SS scooter was supplied by Angelo's Scooter Station on 30th May 1969 to a customer that had purchased every Vespa model from Angelos' Scooter Station through the 1960s and early 1970s. Angelo purchased the scooter back from that customer in August 1981 as a gift for our vendor, who was 11 years old at the time, so the scooter remained registered to Angelo's Scooter Station. The scooter has remained in the same family ever since. We show a picture taken outside of Angelo's Scooter Station shortly after it was purchased back in 1981. When Angelo's Scooter Station was sold to Mo-Tech in 1984, the scooter was registered in the name of Angelo Strocco at his home address in Blaydon-on-Tyne. When Angelo sadly died in 2008 at the age of 94, the scooter was re-registered in the name of our vendor. Scanned copies of several MOT certificates, all of which were issued by Angelo's Scooter Station and signed by the vendor's grandfather, are attached. A photograph of a series of tax discs is also attached. All of the original tax discs shown in the photograph are located in the tax disc holder which is mounted to the scooter.When the scooter was purchased in 1981, it displayed 898 miles. The current speedometer reading is 1,481 miles with those 583 miles taking place between 1981 and 1986 when the seller and his grandfather had many outings together, some of which involved the seller, who was a child at the time, driving the scooter around a large grass field! Since the mid 1980s, the scooter has been stored in a dry cellar under the house hence the dust and cobwebs on it which the seller has been instructed not to remove! Despite standing for around 40 years, the scooter is running and the engine sounds superb (see video attached). A local scooter enthusiast who recently helped the vendor to get it running again was surprised at the quality of the chassis and engine.

Registration No: UME 947 Frame No: S8973 MOT: ExemptLong term previous ownershipThe S8 was on display for many years in a museumRecently recommissioned and 'road ready'A current V5C on fileSunbeam Cycles was founded in 1837 and from 1912 began producing motorcycles, initially being taken over by AMC in 1937 and eventually passing into BSA's hands in 1943. Intended as a deluxe alternative to other 500s of the day, the unusual inline twin shaft drive S7 model appeared in 1946, distinguished by its balloon tyres, but unfortunately was not without its teething troubles. The more traditional-looking S8 was launched in 1949, incorporating a few engine and chassis modifications to address earlier problems. Originally registered in Middlesex, this Sunbeam S8 spent some time in an Essex motor museum before passing into long-term ownership 25 years ago. The present owner has given the S8 a de-coke (including having the head aqua blasted), replaced the engine mounting rubbers and buffers, fitted a new 600 Concentric (original carb and filter included), new speedo cable, tidied up the wiring, replaced the rear crankshaft oil seal, fitted new spark plugs and HT leads, a new battery, new dynamo brushes (all sourced from Stewart Engineering) and changed all the oils. It has also had a Stewart Engineering sump extension. Test rides showed that the oil pressure was 'good', all the lights work and it showed a good charge. The chronometric speedo works fine. All the gears are present and correct and the clutch works smoothly on what is a mostly original bike with all the hard to find parts in place. It appears to have never been restored. A V5 is present along with the original buff logbook and some old MOTs. The bike will definitely benefit from more use and fettling, however, it is a sound and very original machine with some provenance.

In 1998 they sold an impressive 325,000 scooters as the economic boom in India created a need for motorised mobility for millions of workers. The official partnership with Piaggio finished in 1999 but LML continued to produce scooters based very heavily on the classic Vespa PX range. As Piaggio themselves gave up on traditional two-stroke geared scooters due to emission regulations LML had a new lease of life, even managing to squeeze a four-stroke engine into the original PX style steel bodied chassis. After sales dropped in later years the company gave up on petrol-engined products and began developing battery-powered alternatives. This LML Star Deluxe, being offered at 'no reserve', is part of a deceased estate and was one of the vendor's last purchases after a lifetime spent on two wheels. LMLs are a very close copy of the Italian-made Vespas, even down to the spacing of the badge mounting holes, and like many others, it has been re-badged with 'Piaggio' and 'Vespa' emblems. Not run for a while, it will need recommissioning and comes fitted with a rear fold-down chrome carrier, a spare wheel and a current V5C.

Registration No: YTA 871E Frame No: SX150*761854 MOT: ExemptOriginal paint and standard throughout Rebuilt engine (SX150 757514) mechanically excellentGenuine ‘Mela Verde’ (Apple Green) SX150V5 for use on UK roadsThe SX150 first appeared in October 1966 and replaced the 150 Special which had debuted at Milan in 1963. The tuned engine and close-ratio gearbox made for a faster 95kmh machine with much-improved acceleration and was a superb all round scooter. The SX150 engine used a 20mm carburettor and used 2 cylinder head gaskets resulting in a slight increase in power to 9.38hp but with a similar maximum speed to the preceding Special. The SX was presented in new colours and had a chrome strip on the front mudguard. The panels all had the three flashes and a large X150 over the special badge on the front of the leg shield. The rear frame badge reads Lambretta Innocenti on most models and the late models had a rectangular front horn cast badge. Earlier models had a metal tool box and side panel handles while the later SX150s had plastic DL style version tool boxes and clip on panels. In three years of production there were 31,238 produced and production of the SX150 ceased in January 1969.Here we present a rare original ’Mela Verde’ (Apple Green) purchased from Gran Sport of Birmingham 2014, 11 years ago. All numbers are correct and it appears as though original parts have been retained, noticeably, except a new exhaust. The seat is an SX200 original Red Giuliari type and perhaps needing only a minor repair to the original cover. We are informed the scooter rides superbly, with the only flaw being that the original ignition key broke in the ignition and is still in there, although not affecting is use. Genuine Mela Verde SX150s are very rare to see. Many standard SX150s have been repainted in this colour but of course are not the real thing.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: ExemptA machine with a history yet to be uncoveredBelieved to be a 350cc machineA sprint or grass track special'Return to the road or track' projectSunbeam Cycles made by John Marston Limited of Wolverhampton, made motorcycles from 1912 to 1956. Many John Marston Sunbeam motorcycle models were produced. The first was a 350cc in 1912 followed by a range of 500 cc singles and some V-twins. In 1924, a new model numbering system was introduced; Sunbeam Models 1 through 11. Other higher-numbered models were produced in later years. The majority had single-cylinder engines developing relatively low power, though winning the TT races often, the last time in 1929. A Sunbeam machine with a history yet to be uncovered, nothing is known by the vendor other than he thinks it is a 350cc and there is nothing in the way of paperwork that may be helpful to the motorcycle enthusiast detective! The engine number is visible and indicates a late 1920s manufacture, although at the time of consignment a frame number could not be found. The gearbox appears to be a later and non-original component and potentially stripped of most of its internals for track purposes. An intriguing opportunity to acquire a machine with great potential as a track machine or even a restoration project ultimately to be returned to the road!

Registration No: TS 1504 Frame No: 7462 MOT: ExemptPioneer CertificatedA regular attendee on the Pioneer Run'Good condition' and 'a ready starter'Old buff logbook and V5C on fileThe Douglas Bros., who started up in 1906, acquired the design of a flat twin-cylinder engine from J. Barter's defunct Light Motor Company with Barter coming to work for them. Having two cylinders, horizontally opposed to each other made for a lower centre of gravity and was neater than various vertical twins of the period. Douglas mounted the ‘boxer’ longitudinally to begin with before switching to a transverse layout. 'TS 1504' was purchased from the family of the first owner by the vendor in 1982 and subsequently restored and Pioneer registered in July 1988. A regular attendee on the Pioneer Run, the machine has travelled to Holland to compete in various ‘Veteran’ events on numerous occasions. In 2016, 'TS 1504' was subject to a Donald Day magneto overhaul and more recently, in 2023, a DD service. The paperwork file includes a seldom seen ‘true copy’ of the original Dundee registration of the machine in respect of the '1903 Motor Car Act' and an original buff logbook in addition to current V5C and Pioneer Certificate and sundry correspondence. The Douglas remains in good condition and the vendor reports that it has 'always been well cared for' and is 'a ready starter and an absolute joy to ride!' An exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-documented and very ‘user friendly’ Veteran machine with an outstanding history.

Registration No: GGF 409 Frame No: 1155 MOT: ExemptRare Sunbeam 'high cam' restored to a good standardJust a handful known to have survived on the Sunbeam RegisterMatchless-style forks and brake with check springs, Burman gearbox, and high-level exhaust pipeRunning well and used sparingly by the current ownerV5C on file with a host of paperwork and a 1939 spares bookAll correct numbersAMC bought the Sunbeam business in 1937 as a well-established motorcycle manufacturer. Production moved from Wolverhampton to Plumstead. There was so much stock available that it was enough to sustain production in London for more than a year. At the end of 1938 a new line of OHV machines was launched, ranging from a 250cc to a 600cc. The new engine design was of the high camshaft type with the cylinder barrel sunk deep into the large crankcase. It has a large timing cover with a wonderful “Sunbeam” script which contains the chain that drives the magdyno and is tensioned by a Weller tensioner. The brakes were improved, notably to an 8" drum with improved stopping. The models were offered in standard guise and in Sports (S) and Competition (T) form. The B25S had Sports mudguards, upswept exhaust pipe, and a specially tuned engine with a high-compression piston and polished cylinder head and ports. The C24S was the last pre-war Sunbeam design. This wartime 1940 Sunbeam C24S was purchased by the vendor's father-in-law way back in the early 1970s. Due to commitments, the Sunbeam was left untouched until it was left to the son-in-law, as he was seen as a worthy candidate for the restoration of the C24S and saving it from the scrap man in 1999. The current vendor finally set about the restoration of this very rare model at the start of 2000, with only a handful known to the Sunbeam Register. Completely stripped down to the frame, components were thoroughly checked, cleaned and replaced where necessary. The restoration took several years and attention to the correctness was paramount for this machine, which included a trip to Scotland from the vendor's house of some 500 plus miles. Since the restoration of the Sunbeam, until recently, the vendor had taken it to many shows and events. The restoration has held up, it presents very well and is a good example of the model. It comes complete with a V5C, old photos of when it was found and restored, handbook and parts books, copies from Bruce Main Smith and many old tax discs dating back to 1947.

Aiming to capitalise on the post-WW1 demand for motorised transport, the London firm bought the Metro Manufacturing Co of Birmingham, makers of the ‘Imperial Metro’ two-wheeler. Operating from 1919-1924, the resultant Metro-Tyler concern offered a diverse range of two- and four-stroke models with single-, two- and three-speed transmissions using a two-stroke 269cc engine of their own design plus units sourced from Villiers and Blackburne. Among the first manufacturers to try and enclose as much of the drivetrain as possible, Metro-Tyler were also praised for the quality of their frames. However, they struggled to compete with the likes of BSA, Triumph and Sunbeam. Reputedly among just a handful or so of surviving Metro-Tyler machines known to the VMCC, this particular example is understood to have been extensively restored circa 2001 when it was re-registered with the DVLA. Subsequently purchased by the late vendor to join his collection of rare and unusual British motorcycles, ‘ME 1038’ has been on static display in recent years. Entered from a deceased estate, the bike’s paperwork has been mislaid (although, it is still shown on the DVLA database). In need of recommissioning and offered for sale without reserve.

Registration No: OG 3711 Frame No: A1304 MOT: ExemptEntered from a private collection of rare and unusual British motorcyclesAmong a small number of Matchless Silver Arrows known to have survivedSubject to an older restoration and previously used on various Vintage RunsIntroduced in 1929, the innovative Matchless Silver Arrow was designed by two-time Isle of Man TT winner Charlie Collier (whose family also owned the marque). Displacing 400cc, its sidevalve engine featured a narrow 18-degree ‘Vee’ between the two cylinders which permitted the use of a single piece head. The rear suspension utilised a cantilever arrangement that was not too dissimilar to the one employed by Vincent HRD, while its linked brakes aped Rudge Four practice. Available in Standard or De Luxe guises, the latter incurred a hefty £6 supplement but came with an instrument panel and electric lighting. More expensive than many similarly sized V-Twins, the Silver Arrow was also priced too closely to Matchless’s four-cylinder Silver Hawk. Reportedly well restored prior to joining the late vendor’s collection of rare and unusual British motorcycles, ‘OG 3711’ is further understood to have been (a) enjoyed on many Vintage Runs and (b) displayed at several Steam Fairs thereafter. Kept on static display in recent years, the Matchless will require recommissioning prior to use. The accompanying old-style V5 Registration Document should hopefully make things easier for a new owner should they wish to apply for a valid V5C.

Registration No: KFL 235G Frame No: 22/2*253510 MOT: ExemptRetains much originality In perfect running condition at time of consignment Correct numbers and only 28 apartRecent perfectionist service by The Magic GarageThe DL200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters that rolled-off Innocenti’s production line in Milan. Produced from January 1969 until April 1971 a total of only 9,350 DL200s were made. The DL200 (GP200 in the UK) followed the SX200 and retained the engine prefix of SX200 before the serial number. There were significant improvements to the engine over the SX including: improved crankshaft, a complete overhaul of the gearbox ratios and improved Ducati ignition. The iconic bodywork followed the trends of the day of the early 1970s. The Nuccio Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors with a new 22/2 frame and rectangular headlight. Only a genuine Italian DL had the famous 'ink splat' on the front of the sleek leg-shield. In Italy the DL200 was only available in the fashionable Ochre colour scheme.In our opinion this is an extremely fine example in exceptionally good condition. Imported from Italy in 2004, it was acquired from Jason, the senior mechanic at Cambridge Lambretta having been his own private scooter. Appearing to retain original paint under the panels and on the frame loop itself, which fit superbly and appear to have been painted to blend with the original frame paint. There are many original parts including the original KMH speedometer which has been re-calibrated to MPH with a replacement face. The original SILME seat is present with a deceptively original-looking cover, the badges and lights all over the scooter appear as original, as is the grey tool box and keys. The engine is still 200cc with a Mugello Mk1 top end, a 30mm Dellorto carburettor, Ancillotto Clubman exhaust and 12v electronics. Our vendor, a scooter perfectionist himself, recently entrusted true perfectionist, Simon Neale at The Magic Garage, to thoroughly go over the entire machine at a cost of £1,342 and the resultant invoice for a myriad of improvements is included with the lot.

Registration No: 374 XVH Frame No: RS852505 MOT: Exempt151cc four-stroke engine and classic Italian stylingRestored to its current conditionRare machine to see in the UKIn running order and complete with a V5C since 2019The MV Agusta 150 RS (Rapido Sport) was produced in their Cascina Costa plant from 1959 to 1969. The Codice della Strada (Italian Highway Code) was amended in 1959 to prohibit motorcycles of under 150cc from using the autostradas. MV Agusta responded by producing a 150.1cc machine based on the 125 Centomila. Finished in the classic colours of Rosso and Ivory, the machine had a double exhaust system, a low fuel tank that partially covered the cylinder head and a sporty riding position. This little MV Agusta 150 RS was purchased by the current vendor in 2023 to add to his collection. Purchased as running machine, the vendor has maintained the machine in running order, also running the RS up and down the lane until the winter of 2024. A rare little machine to be found in the UK, it benefits from a V5C Registration Document. The frame number has been taken from the V5C due to the thickness of the paint making the number hard to read. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: AO 7849 Frame No: 1157 MOT: ExemptOffered from a deceased estate of long term ownershipGreat opportunity to get into a pre-war projectHand painted tank and fairing displaying nice patinaUnderstood to have last been used in 1994 as per the tax discRaleigh is probably better known as a bicycle manufacturer, beginning production in the late 1800s but like many others they began to make powered two-wheelers in the early 1900s. Sporadic production continued throughout the Pioneer period and by the 1920s they had a range of single-cylinder side valve models featuring either two or three-speed gearboxes and belt or chain final drive as well as a flat twin. Their machines quickly established an enviable reputation for reliability, enhanced in 1924 by Hugh Gibson's successful circuit of the British coast on a Raleigh combination and Marjorie Cottle's reverse circuit of the same route on a solo. Production continued until 1933 when the company ceased motorcycle production to concentrate on their pedal-powered products. Offered from a deceased estate and from long-term ownership, this Raleigh represents a great opportunity to get into a pre-war project. The hand-painted tank and fairing displays a nice patina and handsome colour scheme. Judging from an old tax disc, the Raleigh appears to have been last on the road in 1994. The engine number is 1156. Unfortunately, we do not expect there to be any paperwork with this machine.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: ExemptLuxuriously equipped cruiserVery unusual historical lotBelieved the only one of two examples in the UKThe Tula motor scooter debuted in 1957 as the T200, a 197cc 2 stroke air-cooled machine with electric starter curiously similar to the contemporary Goggo-Isaria German-built scooter. The carburettor even had a tickler and required a 4 per cent oil/petrol mix. The engine and body had very similar performance and appearance generating 8HP and it could hit 86 km/h. The long production of the T200 ceased when it was replaced by the less than imaginatively named ‘Tourist’ in 1973. The new version was similar to its predecessor and could now generate 10HP. Featuring revised styling on the tubular chassis, the Tourist is a curious mix of old technology with luxury features. The whole rear end lifts up for easy engine access. Impressive features are the easy electric dyno start, indicators, outside headlight adjuster and smooth ride from the twin suspension front and rear. With luggage compartment on the front and comfortable seat and 4 gears the Tula Tourist even went capitalist in the 1970s being exported to other Eastern bloc countries. This Tula Tourist is complete but was not seen running. Engine No: 0B 653701. Our consultant can possibly advise the buyer of another owner of one of these present in the UK.
