Property of a deceased's estate 1925 Matchless 982cc M3 ProjectRegistration no. TT 4332Frame no. 1676Engine no. M3/725•Rare Vintage-era v-twin•Believed partially restored•Offered for completionUnlike the vast majority of Britain's motorcycle manufacturers, which were located in the Birmingham and Coventry areas, Matchless were based in Plumstead, South London. The name 'Matchless' first appeared in the 1890s on cycles manufactured by H H Collier, whose sons Charlie and Harry would later join him in the business. The firm's first - experimental - motorcycle appeared in 1899 and its first production model in 1902. Already an accomplished cycle racer, Charlie Collier soon turned to racing Matchless motorcycles, as did his brother, and both Colliers would be on the start-line for the inaugural Isle of Man TT race in 1907, Charlie winning the event's single-cylinder class. These early Matchless models were JAP powered but in 1912 the firm introduced a 500cc single of its own design. Nevertheless, within a short time it had gone, along with all the other singles, and for the next several years Matchless built only v-twins. By 1913 there were no fewer than six different models on offer ranging from 3½hp to 8hp in nominal rating. These included twin-cylinder 8hp models, one of which was fitted with a Matchless engine (the 7B) and the other a proprietary MAG. The latter was typed '8B'and later would form the basis for the legendary Model H motorcycle combination. Reluctant to remain reliant on outside suppliers, Matchless introduced a 982cc 50-degree v-twin engine of its own design for 1925, although it did bear a strong resemblance to the contemporary JAP. This new engine went into the M/3 model, which replaced the JAP-powered M/2. It is not known when the vendor's late father purchased this Matchless M3. Acquired as a project, the machine appears to have undergone some refurbishment relatively recently, the frame, tinware and engine being believed restored. The Matchless appears largely complete, although the gearbox has been dismantled. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness or otherwise prior to bidding. Complete or not, this rare Matchless, once finished, will afford its new owner with the hugely enjoyable experience of riding a highly capable Vintage-era v-twin. The machine comes with a V5C Registration Certificate and is sold strictly was viewed.Offered without keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate 1938 Sunbeam 347cc Model 8 ProjectRegistration no. XHR 770AFrame no. 25/2/1475Engine no. A24E-536Having established its not inconsiderable sporting credentials with sidevalve machines, Sunbeam introduced overhead-valve engines in the mid-1920s, the Model 8 '350' being a new introduction for 1929. This post-Vintage example of Sunbeam's overhead-valve Model 8 was purchased by the late owner in April 2009. There is a letter to the DVLA on file from preceding owner Jonathan Holder stating that he had acquired the Sunbeam as a renovation project from a Mr W Kerwin in 1997 and that it had remained in his garage ever since as a 'basket case'. As can be seen from the photographs, the machine is still in that condition today: dismantled and requiring complete restoration. Sold strictly as viewed, this potentially most rewarding project is offered with copies of old-style V5 and V5C documents and the aforementioned letter.

Property of a deceased's estate c.1966 AJS 646cc Model 31CSR ProjectRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. to be advisedEngine no. 31CSR X 10633The last of the major British motorcycle manufacturers to offer a parallel twin, Associated Motor Cycles did not announce its own until the Earls Court Motorcycle Show of 1948, and even then production was for export only. Progressively developed, the 500cc motor underwent a number of capacity increases, finally arriving at 646cc in the autumn of 1958 with the launch of the AJS Model 31 and Matchless G12. The new range-topping sports models were typed 'CSR', a designation AMC had first used on the superseded 600s. Well-finished, stylish and deservedly popular despite lacking the performance image of certain rivals, the AMC twins were much missed after their demise in 1966. There are no documents with this dismantled 31CSR, which is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. Nothing is known of its history.

c.1958 AJS 348cc Model 16MSRegistration no. to be advisedFrame no. AA59640 / 75105 (see text)Engine no. 57/16MS 32604This AJS was purchased by the vendor in 2020 as a project to restore. There are some pre-restoration photos in the document file. Utilising professional assistance for some of the elements of the work, such as painting, wheelbuilding, electrics, and seat recovering, the work was completed by 2021. An application has been submitted to DVLA for an age-related registration, and it is anticipated that the AJS will have a V5C by the time of sale. The bike has been started, and is running, so should only require commissioning and basic safety checks before taking to the road. The owner has another project in mind, hence the sale. The AJS has a second number (75105) stamped to the steering head, in addition to the frame number (AA59640) in the normal position. Documentation comprises a quantity of invoices.Offered without keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1959 Panther 645cc Model 120S ProjectRegistration no. XLD 762Frame no. 26915Engine no. 59ZA 405APhelon & Moore (P&M) was founded in Cleckheaton, South Yorkshire in 1904, becoming famous for its fondness for engines with inclined cylinders, the first of which appeared in 1923. This was P&M's first 'Panther' model, and the name would later be extended to the entire range. In 1959 an enlarged (to 645cc) Model 120 joined the 594cc Model 100 and the former would be the sole Panther four-stroke after 1963. With their low-revving engines and limitless pulling power, the big Panthers had long been a favourite of sidecarists. Registered to the current vendor in December 1972, this 'barn find' Panther 120S evidently has remained unused for some considerable time. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with an old-style continuation logbook.

From the estate of the late Bill Grove 1953 Mini-Motor 49cc & Gent's Raleigh CycleRegistration no. HRP 962 (see text)Frame no. 69813AEngine no. C 58901An Italian design, the Mini-Motor 'clip-on' engine was manufactured in the UK by Trojan Ltd of Croydon, Surrey and sold in large numbers at a time when there was an immense demand for cheap motorised transport. The self-contained, 49.9cc two-stroke power unit was mounted above a bicycle's rear wheel, which it drove via a friction roller, and was capable of propelling a cycle at speeds of up to 30mph. This bicycle is part of a private collection and has been kept in dry storage. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning at the very least, or possibly more extensive restoration, before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Although the machine comes with an RF.60 logbook, the registration 'HRP 962' is not recorded in the HPI/DVLA database.

S51563Cyclemotors were a popular means of cheap transport in the early 1950s, Power Pak's offering being a single-cylinder two-stroke complete with fuel tank, which attached to a bicycle's seat stays and drove the rear tyre by means of a friction roller. The unit remained on sale until the middle of the decade, by which time the market for economical basic transport had been taken over by the moped.

c.1930 Rudge Project Registration no. not registeredFrame no. GL780HEEngine no. 3260Formed by the acquisition in 1894 of the Rudge Cycle Company Ltd by the Pugh family's Whitworth Cycle Company, Rudge-Whitworth built its first motorcycle in 1910 and is best remembered for its pioneering use of four-valve cylinder heads. Rudge Whitworth's first four-valve production motorcycle appeared in 1924, and the company persevered with the layout until manufacture ceased at the outbreak of WW2. Unfortunately, nothing is known of the history of this incomplete and long-neglected Rudge, which has some features of the Speedway model and appears to have been used for some kind of motorcycle sport, possibly grass track.

c.1939 Royal Enfield 350cc Model C ProjectRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. unable to locateEngine no. 20406Royal Enfield of Redditch manufactured a range of bewildering and fast-changing variety in the 1930s. 'Slopers' with inclined engines were a feature of the decade's early years, and then in 1936 a revised range with vertical engines began to be phased in, establishing the pattern for Enfield singles for the next 25 years. The first of these new machines were the overhead-valve models G (350cc) and J (500cc), both of which came with coil ignition; dry sump lubrication with oil reservoir contained with the crankcase; and four-speed foot-change gearboxes. Later in the year the line-up expanded with the arrival of the basically similar 250cc overhead-valve S250 and 350cc sidevalve Model C. Unfortunately, nothing is known of the history of this long-neglected Model C, which is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.

Property of a deceased's estate 1925 Levis 247ccRegistration no. 713 UYTFrame no. 16650Engine no. 17599Manufactured in Birmingham, the Levis motorcycle derived its name for the Latin word for 'light', which was one of the diminutive machine's many virtues. One of the pioneers of the two-stroke motorcycle, the firm commenced manufacture of its 211cc, single-gear lightweight in 1911. Offered from the estate of the lady vendor's late father following a period of inactivity, this lightweight Levis will require re-commissioning at the very least, or possibly more extensive restoration, before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed.

Property of a deceased's estate 1926 Sunbeam 3½hp Light SoloRegistration no. UE 1809Frame no. S 08492Engine no. 270/18316Already established as makers of high-quality bicycles, the firm of John Marston Ltd of Wolverhampton introduced the first Sunbeam motorcycle, a 350cc sidevalve single, in 1912. The marque quickly established a reputation for sporting prowess, achieving 2nd place in the 1914 Isle of Man Senior TT and winning the 1920 race. Overhead-valve engines were introduced in the mid-1920s, but early successes were achieved with sidevalve machines, most notably the 492cc 'longstroke' that secured a debut win at the 1921 French Grand Prix. In road-going form this remarkable engine remained in production right up until WW2. Offered from the estate of the lady vendor's late father following a period of inactivity, this 'oily rag' 492cc Sunbeam will require re-commissioning at the very least, or possibly more extensive restoration, before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed.

C513Established in Victorian times as a bicycle manufacturer, Coventry-Eagle built a diverse range of motorcycles using proprietary engines from 1901 onwards, though machines only began to be produced in significant numbers after WWI. Its most famous model of the Vintage years was the Flying Eight which, with its 1-litre JAP v-twin engine and muscular good looks, was a worthy rival for the Brough Superior and a formidable Brooklands racing machine.

A wide range of machines was manufactured between the wars, at the top of which were sensational 500cc and 750cc air-cooled four-cylinder models.

DPY5162 (see text)This Scott appears to be broadly to catalogue specification for 1949-1950: the last two years of production at Scott's Shipley factory. A 1973 continuation green logbook indicates that that the current frame (manufactured 1937) & engine (1948) have been in place for at least 49 years, and also that Silk Engineering owned the bike from 1975 to 1983. Roger Moss has confirmed that he rebuilt the engine around 2004. Restoration work in the immediately previous ownership is believed to have included the gearbox and clutch. A new V5C has been applied for. A spare set of forks is included. The Scott was last run in March 2021, so following a period of inactivity, re-commissioning will be required before further use.

1949 Scott 596cc Flying Squirrel ProjectRegistration no. MLG 464Frame no. 2244Engine no. PY2977Introduced in 1925, Scott's Flying Squirrel sports model came in 498cc and 596cc capacities, the latter being the most expensive in the range. Subsequent improvements included the duplex frame and bigger brakes first seen on the works bikes in 1926, and the magneto-platform Pilgrim pump adopted for the 1927 TT machines.This Flying Squirrel was built from mainly 1930s parts and first registered in 1949. The accompanying original logbook lists only six owners including the vendor, who acquired the Scott in November 1968. The logbook notes a change of engine from 'FZ1425' (498cc) to the current 'PY2977' (596cc Power Plus) in May 1950, although the engine capacity remains uncorrected (likewise in the accompanying old-style V5).

1960 BSA 591cc M21 'AA' Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. APB 89AFrame no. BM20S 13229Engine no. BM21 13381One of the organisations that used BSA's faithful old M21 'sidecar tug' was the Automobile Association, whose distinctive yellow-liveried combinations, ridden by patrolmen wearing military-style khaki uniforms, were a regular sight on British roads well into the 1960s. Today these AA 'combos' never fail to attract a crowd at classic vehicle shows. This M21 was first registered on 18th March 1960 and is believed to be an original AA machine. The vendor advises us that the sidecar chassis is an original AA model and that the body is newly built to correct AA specification and finish. The paintwork was done at the same time and is finished to a high standard. Last run in February 2022, the machine is offered with some expired MoTs, a 2018 parts invoice, and a V5C document.

It is believed that the BSA was restored in 2010. Notable features include chromed mudguards; matching Smiths speedometer and tachometer; tyre inflater; and the Ariel-type full-width alloy hubs, while the red finish to the chromed tank makes this Flash look all the more sporting. Last used in 2021, the machine is offered with a current V5C document, copies of previous V5Cs, and the aforementioned dating letter.

1972 BSA 654cc Firebird Street ScramblerRegistration no. JLU 330KFrame no. EE05615 A65FSEngine no. NE01621 A65FSOriginally given the name 'Spitfire', BSA's 650cc street scrambler was re-christened 'Firebird' in 1967, by which time it had become a US-only model. The Firebird continued as the street scrambler when the BSA range was updated with the new oil-containing frame for 1971, and in effect was a Lightning equipped with raised 'bars, sump shield and high-level exhaust system. Without doubt one of the most handsome of these final BSAs, the Firebird perished along with its fellows when the BSA-Triumph Group collapsed in 1972. This Firebird was purchased by the vendor's brother at least 20 years ago and was ridden initially before being laid up in the garage. It is not known when the machine was last used and its mechanical condition likewise is unknown.

1969 Triumph 649cc TR6P Police MotorcycleRegistration no. WUL 226GFrame no. DC 17865 TR6PEngine no. TR6P DC 17865ISDT success in the late 1940s prompted Triumph to adopt the Trophy name for their off-road styled twins. But although it retained its sporting character, the model became more of a roadster as time passed, ending up, in effect, as a single-carburettor Bonneville. More tractable than the Bonnie and more economical too, the Trophy gave little away in terms of outright performance, the bike's standing quarter-mile time and top speed being within a whisker of its twin-carburettor sibling's. Triumph enjoyed a long history of providing machines to police forces around the world, and the example offered here is based on the TR6 roadster, albeit fitted with twin carburettors. The current vendor purchased this TR6P at Bonhams December 2020 Winter sale and has seen little use since then, hence the decision to sell it. Following a period of inactivity, re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration will be required before it returns to the road.

The machine has been updated with a mid-1970s Suzuki disc-braked front end; flashing indicators; a Nippon Seiki 150mph(!) speedometer; and an Amal Concentric carburettor. The current vendor has owned the Triumph since August 2002. Not used for some considerable time (the affixed tax disc expired in 1992), the machine will require re-commissioning before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over with compression).

1968 Matchless 497cc G80CS Registration no. NHU 457FFrame no. C11540Engine no. G80CS/ 5559Although they never possessed the financial resources of chief rival BSA, Associated Motor Cycles (AMC) established a formidable reputation in off-road competition in the 1950s, winning the British 500cc Moto-Cross Championship on four occasions, while in the USA, desert race victories by riders such as Walt Fulton and Bud Ekins ensured a healthy demand for AMC's Matchless G80CS and AJS 18CS scramblers. Production of the G80CS ceased in August 1965 but this example was not first registered until January 1968. Purchased from the preceding owner, who had struggled to kick it over because of the high compression, 'NHU 457F' is a lovely original example, currently displaying a believed-genuine total of 13,010 miles on the odometer. The engine does not turn over and the machine will need re-commissioning before further use.

Coded Model 16 and G3L respectively, the two 350cc models shared the same 93mm stroke as their 500cc brethren, coupled to a 69mm bore. Housed in a rigid frame with Teledraulic front fork, the overhead-valve engine drove through a four-speed gearbox. Hairpin valve springs were adopted for 1949 and a swinging-arm frame introduced.Owned by the vendor (a Matchless OC and VMCC member) since 1959, this Matchless G3LS was used as ride-to-work transport for many years. Apparently highly original, the machine has not been used for at least 10 years and is presented in 'oily rag condition'. Re-commissioning, including a new kick-start return spring, will be required before it returns to the road.

1947 Douglas 348cc T35 SportsRegistration no. XVS 818Frame no. T35/S/4935/SSEngine no. T35/S 4935SDouglas commenced post-war production in 1947 with, naturally enough, a flat twin, though unlike the vast majority of previous models the T35 mounted its engine across the frame. The engine/gearbox was of unitary construction, while the frame displayed even greater innovation with its swinging-arm torsion-bar rear suspension and Radiadraulic leading-link front fork. Its advanced running gear endowed the Douglas with excellent handling and steering characteristics, while the willing engine could propel the 'Duggie' at up to 70mph and return 60-plus miles per gallon. Acquired by the vendor (a Douglas OC member) in March 2000, this rare and sought-after post-war Douglas is presented in 'oil rag' condition but will need re-commissioning following a period of inactivity (the engine turns over with compression). The machine is offered with old/current V5C documents. Offered without keyFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1993 Triumph 885cc Trident 900Registration no. K626 BBOFrame no. SMTTC338BDP005839Engine no. 005937John Bloor's resurrection of Triumph and its transformation into a thriving global brand is one of the more unlikely manufacturing success stories of modern times. Unveiled at the Cologne Show in the autumn of 1990, the range consisted of three- and four-cylinder models named after iconic Triumphs of the past: Daytona, Trophy, and Trident. Now, some 30 years later, these early Hinckley Triumphs are becoming increasingly collectible. This particular Trident 900 was acquired by the current vendor in 2019 and has seen little use since then, hence the decision to sell it; indeed, fewer than 1,000 miles have been covered since the last MoT certificate was issued in April 2021.

1971 Laverda 750SF1Registration no. HGC 408JFrame no. 5117Engine no. 750*5117First registered in the UK in 1989, this Laverda 750SF1 was purchased circa 1991 by the current vendor as a believed genuine 'low mileage' machine, the 1993 MoT on file recording the odometer reading as only 2 kilometres. Ridden for only a further 491 kilometres, the machine remained in excellent condition although some sympathetic work was required to bring it back to virtually 'as new' condition. 'HJC 408J' was then placed in a vacuum bag where it has remained for the last 25-plus years. Only recently 'exhumed' in anticipation of sale, the machine will require both safety and mechanical checks before returning to the road following nearly a quarter-century of storage. Offered with an old-style V5 document and set of keys, this lovely low mileage 'SF1' is presented in excellent cosmetic condition throughout. Prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the mileage covered.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Laverda was used regularly by the current owner until 1998 (at 11,158 kilometres) and then placed in a vacuum bag where it has remained for the last 24 years. Presented in very good condition throughout, the machine will require both safety and mechanical checks before returning to the road following nearly a quarter-century of storage. Additional documentation consists of a South African registration document; four expired MoTs from the 1990s; and an old-style V5 registration document. Although not currently attached, the TS model's distinctive engine shrouds and headlamp fairing are included in the sale together with a single key.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1977 Laverda 981cc 3CL ProjectRegistration no. not UK registeredFrame no. 5123Engine no. 5123Introduced in 1972, the 3C (later 3CL) was the first of Laverda's much admired family of classic three-cylinder 'muscle bikes' that would do so much to establish its reputation as one of Italy's foremost purveyors of high-performance motorcycles. Imported from Spain, this Laverda 3CL was purchased from Mdina Italia of West Sussex in 1994 by the current owner, who then commenced a full restoration. The engine was totally rebuilt and many other parts refurbished and repainted. However, the rebuild ground to a halt in the 1990s and the machine was then dry stored for the following 25-or-so years. Offered now for completion and accompanied by a large quantity of parts, some refurbished and others new or original items, this rare 3CL represents a most rewarding project for the successful purchaser. The machine is offered with the 1994 purchase receipt and a Spanish registration document.

1972 Laverda 750SF1 ProjectRegistration no. not UK registeredFrame no. LAV.750F*9638*Engine no. 750*7501*Laverda's 750GT (touring) and 750S (sports) models spawned the 750SF late in 1970. 'SF' stood for Super Freni (super brakes), marking a switch from Grimeca stoppers to Laverda's own superior drum brakes. Introduced simultaneously was the 750SFC, a thinly disguised racer that soon came to dominate the endurance races of the day. In 1971 the 750SF was upgraded with Nippon-Denso instruments (replacing the original Smiths) and the following year gained a new cylinder head, larger (36mm) carburettors, Lucas switch-gear and a different exhaust system, becoming the SF1. This Laverda 750SF was imported from Holland in the 1990s by the vendor as a restoration project. The machine has been stored until recently and is now offered for sale with a large quantity of parts to aid completion. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the completeness or otherwise of this motorcycle prior to bidding.

1955 Moto Guzzi 250cc AironeRegistration no. 473 XVNFrame no. MCD68Engine no. MCD91First introduced in 1939, the 250cc Airone (heron) emerged post-war with a telescopic front fork, larger diameter brakes and an aluminium-alloy cylinder barrel and 'head. With a 70mph top speed and the ability to cruise at 60mph all day, the Airone remained a top-seller well into the 1950s. This Airone was purchased from Bonhams' sale of the Morbidelli Motorcycle Museum Collection in August 2020 (Lot 624). Believed to retain its original frame and engine, the machine was originally hand painted and has been stripped back to reveal its original condition and patina. On file is a lengthy list of works completed since acquisition, which includes re-laced wheels with new rims; new tyres; new clutch; new wiring loom; and refurbished brakes, carburettor and speedometer. This little Guzzi is a very useable motorcycle. Accompanying documentation includes an Italian tax disc; a V5C Registration Certificate; and original Italian paperwork signed by Giancarlo Morbidelli.

GKX 253TFrame no. 14173Engine no. 14515Moto Guzzi's long-running, 90-degree, v-twin engine layout was retained for a new range of Lino Tonti-designed middleweights planned during the 1970s. The scaled-down Guzzi debuted as the V35/V50 in 1976, though deliveries were limited until the Innocenti car factory - like Guzzi, owned by Alejandro de Tomaso - had been re-equipped for motorcycle production. Lightweight and compact - characteristics that endeared it to smaller riders - Guzzi's little v-twins were economical, well engineered and handled superbly; top speeds were 90mph-plus (V35) and 100mph-plus (V50). This original and un-restored V50 was acquired by the vendor in 1989 and last taxed for the road in 2015. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with an expired MoT (2018) and old/current V5/V5C documents. Keys present.

SC01E 2400715Having blazed the multi-cylinder trail in 1968 with the trend-setting CB750, Honda found itself upstaged by Kawasaki's Z1, which was not only larger at 903cc but boasted two overhead camshafts to the Honda's one. Honda's riposte, the CB900F, did not arrive until 1979, by which time Kawasaki had moved on to the Z1000. However, the CB900's twin-cam cylinder head boasted sixteen valves, compared to the Kwacker's eight, enabling it to produce 95bhp against the Big K's 93.Little is known of this apparently complete example's history other than that it was purchased as a restoration project. Its mechanical condition is not known and thus the machine is sold strictly as viewed.

HA02E2305986Introduced in 1958, Honda's classic Cub 'step-thru' moped gave millions of people the world over their first taste of two-wheeled mobility. Larger-engined versions of the original 50cc Super Cub were soon made available, the nominally 90cc C90 arriving in 1965. Better built, more powerful and more reliable than the majority of contemporary mopeds, while endowed with handling superior to that of the small-wheeled scooter, the Cub family set new sales records for motorcycle production and continues to be immensely popular today. This Cub displays a total of 41,379 miles on the odometer.

Looking very much like scaled down versions of BMW's larger models, the duo, which shared identical cycle parts, featured sharper, more modern styling while both weight and overall dimensions were reduced. Tested by Bike magazine in 1979, the R45 recorded a top speed of 95mph while returning an overall fuel consumption of 56.2mpg. Few changes were made to these smaller twins before production ceased in 1985. Currently displaying a total of 37,557 miles on the odometer, this original and un-restored R45 was purchased by the vendor in November 1988 and currently displays a total of 37,557 miles on the odometer.

Available in Europe the following year, the Dominator 650 was built in standard, De Luxe and SS variants, all of which featured a new cylinder head with downdraft inlet ports. With 49bhp on tap, plentiful low-down torque and exemplary handling courtesy of its race-proven Featherbed frame, the 650SS was one of the outstanding sports motorcycles of the 1960s, being more than a match for Triumph's Bonneville in terms of all-round performance. Indeed, in February 1962 Motor Cycling achieved a best one-way speed of 119.5mph at MIRA with a 650SS, more than 10mph up on that of the Bonneville tested the previous summer. This Norton 650SS was advertised in Classic Bike magazine's August 2001 edition but not registered to Alan Windsor until 25th August 2004. Believed to be an older restoration, the machine was last taxed in 2013 and last MoT'd in 2015-2016. A total of 4,544 miles is currently displayed on the odometer.

Finished in striking two-tone Tangerine/Pearl Grey with matching mudguards and black cycle parts, the bike was a real looker and the name 'Bonneville', chosen in honour of Johnny Allen's record-breaking achievements with his Triumph-powered streamliner at the eponymous Utah salt flats, was an inspired piece of marketing.Although, ostensibly, the Bonneville was little more than a T110 fitted with the splayed-port cylinder head and twin carburettors, there was, of course, more to it than that. As well as the performance-enhancing top end, the Bonneville, together with the rest of Triumph's twins, incorporated a new, stronger crankshaft assembly that development had shown was necessary to cope with the increased power. The latter now stood at 46bhp, an improvement of some 15% over that of the contemporary single-carb T110. Works tester Percy Tait had achieved 128mph at MIRA on a development bike, and even though this figure proved beyond the reach of the production version, the Bonnie was at least as fast as the opposition and much better looking, which was all that mattered. Apparently an older restoration, this well presented 1961 Bonneville was acquired by Alan Windsor in July 1987. Accompanying paperwork includes a five-page, hand-written report on its condition when purchased and the various non-standard components fitted: most notably the later TLS front brake and nine-stud engine top end. There is also a list of restoration works carried out but no related bills. A total of 2,525 miles is displayed on the odometer, which is believed to be the distance covered since the rebuild. The machine appears to be in good cosmetic condition but will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use. Its mechanical condition is not known. Additional documentation consists of the original old-style logbook; an expired MoT (1994); an old-style V5C; and a quantity of DVLA correspondence.

Property of the late Alan Windsor 1952 Vincent 998cc Series-C RapideRegistration no. 373 YUAFrame no. RC10197/C Rear frame no. RC10197/CEngine no. F10AB/1/8932 (see text) Crankcase mating no. II46 (see text)Ever since the Series-A Rapide's arrival in 1937, the Vincent v-twin has been synonymous with design innovation and engineering excellence. But above all else it was the v-twin's stupendous performance that captivated motorcyclists. With a top speed approaching 120mph, and bettering it in the Black Shadow's case, the Vincent v-twin was the fastest road vehicle of its day.Factory records held by the Vincent Owners' Club show that this machine's upper/lower frame numbers correspond to those of a Rapide manufactured in January 1952. However, it should be noted that the engine number appears to have been re-stamped and that the crankcases with the mating number 'II46' are wrong for engine number '8932', which in any case left the factory with frame 'RC/10832/C'. The machine was last taxed in 2011 but we are advised that it was re-commissioned and ridden a couple of years ago, performing well at that time, and should require relatively little further re-commissioning before returning to the road. Notable features include a Smiths 150mph speedometer and a Tread Down centre stand. The machine is offered with a file of history to include an old-style logbook; sundry bills; assorted correspondence; a quantity of MoTs; old/current V5/V5C documents; a workshop manual; and an original Vincent Rider's Handbook.

Property of the late Alan Windsor 1955 BSA 500cc 'Gold Star' ReplicaRegistration no. YPG 447Frame no. CB32 4055 (see text)Engine no. DB34 GS 517 (see text)On Wednesday 30th June 1937, a specially prepared Empire Star 500 ridden by the great Wal Handley achieved a 100mph lap of the Brooklands circuit on its way to a debut race victory and award of the 'Gold Star' that would give BSA's new super sports model its evocative name. Today, the Gold Star remains one of the most highly sought after of post-war British motorcycles and is supported by a most enthusiastic owners' club.The restored example offered here has matching frame and engine numbers but neither of them is a correct BSA factory stamping. We are advised that the engine incorporates a Jawa crankshaft and a Bob Newby belt drive and clutch, and that it has been converted to 12-volt electrics and electronic ignition. Alan Windsor purchased the BSA from previous owner John Reyland in May 1983. The purchase receipt is on file and the machine also comes with an old-style logbook (issued 1961); sundry bills; some MoTs (most recent expired 2009); a V5C Registration Certificate; and several pages of notes describing work done and modifications made over the years (perusal recommended). Two editions of BSA Service Sheets are included in the sale. Not used for some time, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use.

Property of the late Alan Windsor c.1962 Matchless 498cc G50 Racing MotorcycleFrame no. 4317Engine no. none•One of only some 180 built•Purchased from the estate of the late Geoff Sawyer•Owned since 2015•Paraded by Ron ChandlerThe disappointing performance of the Matchless G45 twin-cylinder racer prompted Associated Motor Cycles to develop an over-bored version of the firm's successful AJS 7R 350 single as a contender for the '500' class. Using cycle parts virtually identical to the 7R, the prototype Matchless G50 first ran in 1958, with production versions becoming available the following year. Development was overseen by AMC's legendary engineer, Jack Williams, whose son Peter would later play a leading role in the G50 story. With a claimed power output of over 50bhp and weighing some 30lbs less than a Manx Norton, the G50 should have been a winner, but it was not until after manufacture ceased in 1962, by which time around 180 machines had been completed, that tuner/entrants in Britain and the USA began to exploit the model's full potential. Subsequent frame and suspension developments - most notably by Tom Arter and Colin Seeley - kept the G50 competitive into the 'Japanese era'.Ridden by Peter Williams, the Arter-Matchless proved that a single-cylinder machine could still be competitive on short circuits and at the Isle of Man TT, and in 1973 Williams finished 2nd in the Senior race, beaten only by Giacomo Agostini's works MV. Many-times British sidecar champion Colin Seeley was another convinced that the design still had untapped potential. Seeley had bought Associated Motor Cycles' racing department when the company went into receivership in 1966. The previous year he had constructed the first Seeley racing frame to house a Matchless G50 engine, and the AMC purchase enabled him to produce complete Seeley G50 and 7R machines. With their improved frames, the four-stroke singles enjoyed renewed competitiveness, Dave Croxford winning the British 500 Championship on a Seeley G50 in 1968 and '69. Nevertheless, a G50 would not win an Isle of Man TT until 1984, when American Dave Roper rode Team Obsolete's example to victory in the inaugural Historic TT. Today, the Matchless G50 and its derivatives continue to be mainstays of classic racing's 500 class, thanks in no small part to the availability of faithful replicas of the original. The fact that so few were built makes a genuine original G50 a prized acquisition today. Alan Windsor purchased this example in September 2014 from the estate of the late Geoff Sawyer, the well known former racer and many-time Isle of Man TT and Manx GP competitor. Since then the Matchless has been paraded by former racer Ron Chandler and entered in some continental events, scrutineering stickers from the latter being still in place. The machine comes with a file of bills, but it should be noted that Alan has owned more than one G50-engined motorcycle over the years and it cannot be determined whether or not they all refer to this particular example.

Property of the late Alan Windsor Seeley 496cc G50 MkII Replica Racing MotorcycleFrame no. R.M.T. MK.2-102REngine no. A.W. G50 102•Roger Titchmarsh frame•Mick Taberer engine•Campaigned in IHRO events•Paraded by Colin Seeley, Leon Haslam and Dave CroxfordMany-times British sidecar champion Colin Seeley bought Associated Motor Cycles' racing department when the company went into receivership in 1966. Seeley's motorcycle dealership possessed an AMC agency and he was already well familiar with the Plumstead firm's race engines, having commenced his sidecar racing career with a G50-powered outfit. Believing that the engines possessed further potential if equipped with state-of-the-art cycle parts, the previous year he had constructed the first Seeley racing frame to house a Matchless G50 engine, and the AMC purchase enabled him to produce complete Seeley G50 and 7R machines. With their improved frames, the four-stroke singles enjoyed renewed competitiveness, Derek Minter winning first time out at the start of the 1966 season on both the 350cc 7R and 500cc G50-engined Seeleys. The Seeley frame progressed from the duplex cradle MkI to the similar but lighter MkII on which works rider Dave Croxford won the British 500 Championship in 1968. The down-tubes were abandoned with the MkIII, the headstock and swinging arm pivot of which were linked solely by tubes running diagonally above the engine. Supported by sponsor Gus Kuhn, Seeley-mounted Croxford triumphed again in the British 500 Championship in 1969. The Seeley MkIV introduced towards the end of 1970 featured a revised tubing layout and continued in production until 1973, achieving further successes. Production of Seeley frames was later licensed to Roger Titchmarsh and there have been countless unauthorised copies made over the years. This Seeley G50 replica was built for Alan by Roger Titchmarsh in 1998 (bill on file). The Mick Taberer engine incorporates a Newby crankshaft, titanium con-rod, Omega forged piston, coil valve springs, and a Nikasil-plated aluminium cylinder liner. Other notable features of this well developed machine include a Gardner carburettor, Maxton front fork, Maxton rear dampers, a Hemmings five-speed gearbox, and total-loss ignition. Alan raced the Seeley in IHRO events and it has been paraded by his friend, the late Colin Seeley, Leon Haslam and Dave Croxford. Showing that he had lost none of his speed, Croxford returned the Seeley to the paddock with its fairing scuffed on both sides! Re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent will be required before the Seeley returns to the racetrack. The machine is offered with a selection of colour action photographs and some bills. It should be noted that Alan has owned more than one G50-engined motorcycle over the years and it cannot be determined whether or not all these bills belong with this particular example (some appear to relate to another Seeley G50 built for Geoff Sawyer).

Property of the late Alan Windsor 1914 Triumph 3½hpRegistration no. WY 4445Frame no. 255941Engine no. 36800 DTUThe first Triumph motorcycle of 1902 used a Belgian Minerva engine, but within a few years the Coventry firm - originally a bicycle manufacturer founded by German immigrants Siegfried Bettman and Maurice Schulte - was building its own power units. The famous 3½hp model first appeared in 1907. Originally of 453cc, its sidevalve engine was enlarged to 476cc in 1908 and finally to 499cc in 1910 before being superseded by the 4hp model in 1914. Alan Windsor purchased this restored 3½hp Triumph in March 1986 and has ridden it on the Pioneer Run more than once. Notable features include a Miller headlamp; P&H bulb horn; P&H tail lamp; and Bosch magneto. The engine's matching cylinder barrel is stamped '36800' and both crankcase halves are numbered '47'. The Triumph's entry card from the 76th Pioneer Run of 2015 is still in place, and the machine also comes with a Pioneer Certificate and two participant's certificates (1997 and 2014). Additional documentation includes an old-style logbook (issued 1953); a quantity of expired MoTs; an old V5; and old/current V5C Registration Certificates. There is also some photocopied historical/technical literature. Almost certainly not used since 2015, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before its next outing.

Property of the late Alan Windsor 1979 Honda CBX1000ZRegistration no. HLH 556TFrame no. CB1-2001907Engine no. none visibleJust as it had in the preceding decade with the four-cylinder CB750, Honda stunned the world again in the 1970s, introducing the Gold Wing super-tourer and the outrageous six-cylinder CBX1000. Launched in 1978, the latter was not the first six of the modern era, Benelli's 750 Sei having beaten it by a couple of years, but it was by far the biggest and fastest. Weighing around 550lbs and with 105bhp on tap, the CBX was good for 130mph and scorched through the standing quarter-mile in around 12 seconds. For most owners though, it was not the CBX's performance so much as its on-road presence that mattered. Even today, few bikes can match it for charisma, visual appeal and, above all, sound. Believed imported from the USA circa 1993, this desirable, twin-shock example of an increasingly collectible classic was purchased by Alan in June 1998 (bill of sale on file). The V5C states two former keepers and that the machine was registered/used overseas. Additional paperwork includes older V5/V5C documents; a quantity of MoTs (most recent expired 2013); and an owner's manual. Last taxed in 2013, and with a total of 13,808 miles showing on the odometer, the machine appears to be in good cosmetic condition but will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use. Its mechanical condition is not known.Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of the late Alan Windsor 1988 Honda VFR750R Type RC30Registration no. E39 KTRFrame no. RC30-2000623Engine no. RC30E-2000690•One owner•5,894 miles from new•Last taxed in 2007One of the modern era's few immediately collectible classics, the Honda VFR750R - better known as the 'RC30' - was created for just one reason: to win the World Superbike Championship, a feat it achieved in the nascent series' first two seasons of 1988 and '89. And while American Fred Merkel was bringing Honda its first two WSB crowns, Britain's Carl Fogarty used an RC30 to win the TT F1 World Championship in 1988 and '89, and the equivalent FIM Cup in 1990. No mere short circuit scratcher, the RC30 and its derivatives proved durable enough to win a hat-full of Endurance Classics too. That this latter requirement was also part of the design brief may be determined from the fact that a quick-release front fork and single-sided swinging arm - essential for speedy wheel changes - were part of an unrivalled specification that included a twin-spar alloy beam frame, 16-valve V4 engine with gear-driven cams, close-ratio six-speed gearbox and four-pot front brake calipers. All of which did not come cheap: at the time of its launch in 1988 an RC30 cost £8,499, getting on for double the cost of other super-sports 750s. Despite the passage of time and progress of motorcycle technology, the RC30 remains a match for the latest generation of sports bikes but possesses exclusivity that none of them can approach. 'No other bike from the late-Eighties is lusted after like the RC30,' reckoned Bike, and few would disagree. Alan Windsor acquired this RC30 from Harry Gill Motors (Gosport) Ltd on 18th March 1988 and registered it in the name of his company, Lasting Impressions of London SW19 (sales invoice and related correspondence on file). Last taxed to the end of 2007 and currently displaying a total of 5,894 miles on the odometer, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road. Its mechanical condition is not known and it should be noted that the battery is flat and that the front brakes are binding. Accompanying documentation consists of the original service booklet (unstamped), SORN paperwork, some expired MoTs, and old/current V5/V5C registration documents.Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of the late Alan Windsor 1973 Honda 72cc ST70 Dax 'Mini Bike'Registration no. OYR 112LFrame no. ST70-139238Engine no. ST70E-118684With the launch of the CZ100 in 1960, Honda created the class of machine known as 'Monkey Bikes', so called because of their diminutive stature. The power unit was the C100 step-thru's reliable four-stroke single, and an ultra-short wheelbase, small wheels and a vestigial fuel tank were all features of a machine which, in the case of the folding handlebar version, could be fitted into the boot of car. A 72cc version, the ST70 Dax, with slightly larger and more practical frame was introduced in 1969 and remained in production until the end of 1979. Immensely popular as paddock-transport the world over, Monkeys are currently much in vogue, with a flourishing owners club in the UK. This Dax was purchased by Alan Windsor in June 2000 having had only one former keeper. The machine has recorded only 866 miles and appears original apart from a replacement exhaust. Last taxed for the road in 1993, it will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use (the engine turns over). Accompanying documentation consists of DVLA correspondence; an old V5 document (part); two expired MoTs (most recent expired 1993); and a current V5C Registration Certificate.
