The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1957 Triumph 498cc TRW Military MotorcycleRegistration no. Q673 CPFFrame no. 26289RXEngine no. TRW26289X NADeveloped in the immediate post-WW2 years to fulfil British Government contracts for a new military motorcycle, the TRW followed the overall lines of Triumph's trend-setting parallel twins but with the simpler and more easily maintained side valves rather then the civilian models' overhead valves. In keeping with the military's requirements for robustness and simplicity, the TRW retained a rigid frame while featuring Triumph's telescopic front fork as used by many models across the range. When their service life came to an end, many were offered for sale on the civilian market by the Ministry of Defence. Tony East bought this TRW as a dismantled 'project', offered from MoD storage, at an auction in the mid-1980s for £700; amazingly, it turned out to be complete without so much as a single nut or bolt missing – even the tyres, tubes, panniers and light bulbs were all there. The tyres were wrapped in grease-proof paper and the frame was dipped in thick grease that Tony used a hair dryer to melt it so it could be removed. Safe to say it was a very dirty job indeed. As usual, Tony entrusted the restoration to Bryan Small, whose 1987 invoice for £1,765 is on file. When finished the TRW was featured in The Classic MotorCycle magazine's January 1993 edition (framed copy of article available). At time of cataloguing the Triumph had covered 1,112 miles. Additional documentation includes photocopied literature; some old MoTs; and a user handbook with this machine's engine number written in the front with the date 12th February 1958. One key present.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 bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1983 Honda CX650 TurboRegistration no. JBW 823YFrame no. RC16-2000218Engine no. RC16E-2001138• Imported from Italy• Amazing 'time-warp' condition• Only 6,177 kilometres recorded• New Bosch fuel pump'...the CX500T has all the good points of the 500T: the fairing and comfort, shaft drive and mega pose value for those who think biggest and flashiest is best. And whereas the 500 fell flat on its face when it came to performance, the 650 has little turbo lag, the ability to cruise all day at well over the ton, and most of all this amazing zappo when you hit the throttle hard.' – Bike magazine. Once Honda had bolted a turbocharger to one of the most unlikely models in its range - the CX500 v-twin - the rest of the Japanese 'Big Four' followed suit, their larger, four-cylinder offerings leaving the CX500 trailing far behind in the performance stakes. Honda's riposte was the 673cc CX650 Turbo, which arrived in 1983. Bike magazine found that, compared to the CX500, turbo lag had been almost eliminated, and clearly appreciated the bigger CX's ability to sustain an indicated 135mph while the rider sat in perfect ease behind the effective fairing. Fuel consumption varied from 25mpg (speed testing) to an impressive 45mpg if less use was made of the 18psi maximum boost available. One of the nicest example we have ever seen, this rare Honda CX650 Turbo was purchased in 2021 from The Bike Specialists, Sheffield for a considerable sum (the CX650 Turbo was the vendor's 'pin-up bike' when he was young). The Honda had been imported from Italy by the previous owner in 2017 (see documents on file relating to its purchase from Italy and the registration process together with a photocopied Italian title). Additional documentation includes a current V5C, DVLA MoT history, HPI check and (copy) previous V5C. The machine also comes with with two keys, tool kit, owner's manual and photocopied set-up instructions.Dissatisfied with how the machine ran, the vendor had the fuel pump replaced twice before settling on a new Bosch unit, which was fitted by Colwins Motorcycles of Sittingbourne. They employed a mechanic, trained in the 1980s on Hondas, who correctly installed the fuel pump at the same time as the current MoT certificate was issued in 2023 (receipts lost unfortunately). Recommissioned by the current owner, the Honda has seen little use since purchase; it starts and idles smoothly but may require further light recommissioning following a period of inactivity. The odometer reading of 6,177 kilometres is not warranted but appears to be genuine. Viewing of this incredible 'time-warp' CX650 Turbo is highly recommended.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 bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate1929 Harley-Davidson 45ci Model DRegistration no. BF 8437Frame no. 29D6777 (on plate)Engine no. 29D6777• Iconic Harley-Davidson model• Acquired in 2018• Corbin speedometerAlthough Harley-Davidson was no stranger to sidevalve ('flat head') engines, it did not apply this valve gear arrangement to a v-twin until the arrival of the all-new 45ci 'D' (standard) and 'DL' (high-compression) models in 1929. With the introduction of the Powerplus model in 1916, rivals Indian had demonstrated that a properly designed 'flat head' could produce all the power a road rider required, so it is perhaps surprising that Harley took so long to follow suit. One of the other advantages of this new engine was that it was cheaper to produce, enabling Harley to price the new 45ci (750cc) Model D at $290, and the 45's relative affordability would prove to be an important factor during the Depression years of the early 1930s. Production of the 45 really took off when the USA's entry into WW2 in December 1941 created an unprecedented demand for military motorcycles; around 90,000 of the WL (military) version rolling off the Milwaukee production lines before hostilities ceased. 'De-mobbed' Harley 45s helped meet the upsurge in demand for motorcycles in the immediate post-war years, doing much to establish the marque's reputation worldwide, while the civilian version remained a catalogued model until the end of 1951. This Vintage-era Model D was acquired by the current vendor's late father in 2018. A self-employed gas turbine engineer. Motorcycles were his passion and had been from a young age. He loved the look of this Model D, so much so, it stood proudly in the hallway. This Harley previously belonged to a Mr Nicholas Julian Moss of Berkshire. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent and thus is sold strictly as viewed. The machine features a Corbin speedometer and comes with a small selection of spares to include a pair of pillion footrests, rear numberplate/light bracket, and assorted electrical wiring. Accompanying documents include a current V5C; Harley-Davidson spare parts manual and Rider's Hand Book; and a folder containing various invoices/bills, including for repair of the gearbox in 2019.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 bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c. 1945 James ML 125cc LightweightRegistration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. L27723Engine no. 539/32014The ML or 'Military Lightweight' was a machine developed for use in WW11 by the Ministry of Supply that then continued into civilian production after the war up until 1948. Known as the Clockwork Mouse, it used the venerable Villiers 125cc two stroke engine. This machine has the post-war longer mudguards and centre stand, though these could have been fitted later. Appearing largely complete and a good basis for light restoration it should be noted that despite displaying the VRN 'FRL 375' neither the frame or engine numbers match those to the HPI/DVLA database. Accordingly, the machine is offered unregistered and without documents.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 bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1937 Triumph 350cc Tiger 80Registration no. HV 8121Frame no. TL 2248Engine no. 7-T80 3966Just as he had done at Ariel in the 1920s, Val Page transformed his employer's ageing range on his arrival at Triumph as Chief Designer in 1932. Endowed with distinctive timing-gear covers - a feature Page would employ later at BSA - the engines were simple yet robust in construction and amenable to a fair degree of tuning in the case of the overhead-valve units. Edward Turner's arrival at Triumph in 1936 resulted in extensive improvements to the range. A brilliant stylist, Turner transformed Page's overhead-valve singles by adopting sports specification engines, high level exhausts, chromed fuel tanks, and a new name: Tiger. Today, Turner's Tigers are widely recognised as the most stylish sports roadsters of the period and thus are highly sought after. This Tiger 80 was in its present restored condition when purchased by the vendor's late relative circa 1983. The odometer reading of 243 miles is assumed to be the distance covered since restoration. Showing some light pitting and early surface corrosion, the machine has remained unused for many years since acquisition. It is not known when it last ran. Recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent will be required before further use (the engine turns over, with compression). Sold strictly as viewed, the machine is offered with two RF.60 logbooks (issued 1952 and 1958), part old V5, current V5C, and DVLA correspondence.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 bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate1922 AJS 349cc Model B TouringRegistration no. FL 3274Frame no. 17530Engine no. 17530The first AJS of 1911 was a single-cylinder sidevalve-engined lightweight displacing 292cc. The company first entered the Isle of Man TT that year, making an historic breakthrough in 1914 when it won the Junior event, the first such victory by a single-cylinder machine. From then onwards, the 2¾hp (350cc) sidevalve model remained a fixture of the AJS range. Light in weight (around 200lbs), robust and adequately powerful, the model is widely regarded as one the finest of early Vintage sports machines. This Vintage-era AJS 'flat-tanker' was acquired by the current vendor's late father in 2013, having been restored from a total wreck by the previous owner. The latter obviously did a good job, as the machine was judged Best Wolverhampton AJS at the 2013 Jampot Rally. Used mostly on weekends at local Vintage club runs the annual Jampot Rally for many years. Noteworthy features include Lucas 'King of the Road' acetylene lighting and a bulb horn of unknown manufacture. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent and thus is sold strictly as viewed (it should be noted that the right side rear toolbox/bag is missing. Accompanying documents include a current V5C; copy of previous-owner V5C; old V5; old RF.60 logbook (issued 1948); old MoTs and expired tax discs; photographs of the AJS and its previous owner; marque related literature; and correspondence from Rob Harknet (Pre-War Officer AJS & Matchless OC).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 bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1939 Bedford Light Van Registration no. JMT 796 Chassis no. HC3843 Engine no. H28106General Motors imported Chevrolet commercial vehicles into the UK during the 1920s before setting up domestic manufacture at Vauxhall's Luton plant under the 'Bedford' brand name in 1931. Chevrolet cabs were used initially but otherwise the first Bedfords were entirely new and successful to such an extent that the company coined the advertising slogan 'You See Them Everywhere'. Bedford's light commercial vans were, as one might expect, based on Vauxhall chassis and this example appears to be based on the Ten-Four saloon. The Bedford HC, a compact commercial vehicle, was manufactured by Bedford starting in 1938. It utilized the same mechanical components as the H-series Vauxhall 10-4 sedan. During World War II, civilian vehicle production ceased, but the HC van briefly resumed production after the war ended.Subsequently, the Bedford JC, a more robust model, took its place, only to be succeeded by the taller-roofed Bedford PC after the war. Purchased by John in 1973, invoices on file suggest the vehicle was last restored c.2012, Malcolm Collinson of Farnham entrusted with much of the work. Last taxed in January 2015 and presently SORN'd, the vehicle is offered with an old-style continuation logbook, V5C document, 1959 tax disc and a history file. The engine turns over with the assistance of a jump-start pack; however, no attempts have been made to start the vehicle. There is no radiator cap present and it should be noted the V5C incorrectly lists the chassis number as 'HC3343'. Sold strictly as viewed the vehicle will require recommissioning or restoration to a greater or lesser extent.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 bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1936 Harley-Davidson 74ci VLD 'Police'Registration no. 594 YUHFrame no. 36VLD4859 (See text)Engine no. 36VLD4859• First registered in the UK in 2012• Present family ownership since 2012• An older restoration• Requires recommissioningThe 'flat head' (sidevalve) Harley-Davidson VL 'Big Twin' was announced in July 1929 as a replacement for the inlet-over-exhaust 'pocket valve' twins that had been in production since 1911. The twin headlamps, round toolbox and Klaxon horn were carried over from its immediate predecessor, but nearly all of the rest of the bike was new. Harley's 1930 brochure described the new 74ci machine as 'standing head and shoulders above all comers, with such startling new features as a 20% more powerful motor with Ricardo removable heads, interchangeable wheels, bigger tires, drop-centre rims, lower riding position, greater road clearance, automatic increase of generator output, drop forged forks, 100% stronger frame, theft proof lock, dual front drive chain, improved clutch, and many other features making the 1930 Big Twin the greatest motorcycle value ever offered.' Despite its maker's evident enthusiasm, the model V was far from an instant success. More massively built and heavier than its predecessor, the V lacked top-end power to such an extent that the first examples were recalled for an extensive engine redesign. A larger crankcase accommodating heavier flywheels did the trick and, its problems solved, the 74ci 'flat head' went on to win the hearts of Harley enthusiasts everywhere. This example's 'VLD' nomenclature indicates that it left the factory as a generator-equipped model fitted with high-compression pistons. Imported by the previous owner (date unknown), the machine was first registered in the UK in 2012. It was in its current restored condition when purchased by the vendor's late relative that year, but has been unused for many years since. An older restoration, the Harley features painted cylinder heads; California Highway Patrol transfers to the tank; first aid box; fire extinguisher; crash bars; and a Corbyn 100mph speedometer, while there is some light surface corrosion to the brightwork. It is not known when the machine last ran, but it was last taxed to April 2013. Recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent will be required before it returns to the road (the engine turns over, with compression). Sold strictly as viewed, the machine is offered with a V5C document; expired MoT (2013); DVLA correspondence; and an AMCA 'Junior First' award (date unknown). It should be noted the frame number is not a factory Harley-Davidson stamp (Harleys of this period did not have frame numbers) and is believed to be a DVLA-issued VIN to facilitate its UK registration.

1969 Laverda 750 GT 'American Eagle'Registration no. PFJ 320GFrame no. LAV750 1648Engine no. 750 1648•One of only some 150 made•First registered in the UK in 2021•Most collectible and sought after modelsShortly after the Laverda 750GT went on sale in Europe, McCormack International Motors Incorporated, a vehicle importing business, concluded a deal with the Italian factory to market the model in the USA under the 'American Eagle' brand name. Unfortunately for Jack McCormack, Laverda's 750 twins were soon upstaged by the four-cylinder Honda CB750, which was not only better specified but cheaper too, and only some 150 had been imported when McCormack went bust. With relatively few made and even fewer still in existence, the American Eagle is now one of Laverda's most collectible and sought after models. American Eagle is also famous as having kick-started Evel Knievel's career. The brand sponsored the American stunt rider, who wore a distinctive jumpsuit and cape with the American Eagle logo across the front of his leathers and on his helmet. He used a modified American Eagle 750 to complete several record-breaking jumps, suffering some spectacular crashes. Eventually Harley-Davidson realised the marketing potential and provided Knievel with a Harley-Davidson XR750 for his jumps. This very early US-market American Eagle 750 GT was first registered in the UK on 1st September 2021 and has had one former keeper in this country. Its history in the USA is unknown. There is a video of the machine running, available to view on the Bonhams website. The machine is offered with sundry invoices; photocopied technical literature; suspension instructions; owner's manual/parts list; repair guide; copy online advertisement; and a current V5C document. A 4' round brake light lamp lens is included in the sale.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 bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
