Offered from The Forshaw Speedway Collection 1928 Rudge-Whitworth 499cc Dirt Track Racing MotorcycleFrame no. 30950Engine no. 55865•Very rare first period Rudge •Restored machine, notably including the infamous all-embracing triangulation•Acquired for the collection in 1993The introduction of Rudge to dirt track racing has been outlined under Lot 499. Whilst from 1929 onward the DT Rudge became an established and successful venture after the first intrepid steps in 1928 had proved fraught with problems. It was Douglas that ruled the tracks until the Rudge started to make its mark during the following year. Many other motorcycle manufacturers were very excited in joining in and at least seventeen displayed DT models at the 1929 Olympia Show. Although some of these machines saw the light of day, only one other than Douglas made the grade and that was Rudge. By June 1928 the first DT Rudge was produced. As with all other manufacturers it was assembled from existing parts and modified as considered necessary. It was not understood what was required for the unique English short circuit cinder tracks, the initial belief being that the frame should be as stiff as possible. Evidence of this with the first Rudge is from the somewhat alarming addition of a full triangulation of tubes bolted to both sides of the main frame, effectively locking the headstock in a brace with the rear wheel mounting point. A problem arose with the first prototype when one of the Rudge workers was allowed to try it out in the works yard. Acceleration was impressive as expected from the TT based engine but when it came to leaning the machine to turn, the rigidity of the frame threw the poor rider into a wall causing injuries from which he never recovered. It was an inauspicious start. Despite persisting with the new model they proved to be difficult to handle although with very good power. Riders could instinctively feel that there needed to be some flexibility in the frame. The 1929 Rudge catalogue clearly shows how this was addressed, notably be the removal of the all-embracing triangulation. In 1929 Douglas still had a good season but the writing was on the wall, the latest Rudge was on the hunt and soon to drive Douglas into oblivion. Richard Forshaw acquired this very rare first period Rudge in 1993. In a letter to him dated 25th March, the noted speedway guru Noel Clark says, 'just come back...a few hours after hearing about your Rudge, you deserve it, had a long time getting one but it sounds a cracker'. From accompanying photographs of the Rudge as acquired it was certainly very complete, indeed a 'cracker' but in an 'as found' condition. Richard commenting 'it is a very original piece showing little signs of use, I am tempted to leave it as it is and certainly would if its condition was a little better'.The machine had been acquired from Halifax along with a Cole engine. Finally the decision was taken to restore the machine notably adding the infamous triangulation which must have been removed from so many of these early Rudges. With the help of many excellent photographs and the excellent Rudge catalogues this DT Rudge, frame number 30950 (last 1928 fame number 31120) is fitted with a 1929 engine and is presented close to the original catalogue specification. Accompanying documents include correspondence, photographs of the machine as found, Rudge catalogues, copies of Rudge factory drawings, relevant extracts from the press and a 21-part series 'The Days of the Speedway Rudge' by Cyril May published in Speedway Star, 1970. The mechanical condition is not known and therefore we recommend re-commissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent.Key not requiredFootnotes: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

Offered from The Forshaw Speedway Collection 1928 Douglas 498cc DT5 Racing MotorcycleFrame no. TF 576Engine no. EL 787•Purchased by Richard Forshaw in 1982•Previous owner a Mr Walter Green (presumably the former speedway rider who finished second in the 1950 World Championship final)•Restored to a high standardEdward and William Douglas migrated from Scotland to Bristol in 1882 to repair machinery in the well established boot and shoe making industry. They also set up a foundry producing high quality castings including those for shoe lasts. At the same time Joseph Barton, proprietor of Bristol Light Motors Ltd, approached Douglas for castings for their pioneering horizontally opposed twin cylinder motorcycle engine. After a number of years Edward left the business to concentrate on the boot and shoe trade whilst William expanded his business when he bought the ailing Bristol Light Motors but kept Joseph Barton, appointing him as works manager. By 1907 the first Douglas motorcycles appeared with the Barton inspired engine. The Douglas twin engine proved its reliability and smooth running by winning the 1912 Junior TT and then in 1914 winning the team prize in that year's International Six Days Trial. This brought the name of Douglas to the attention of the War Office and a series of War Office contracts resulted in the manufacture of at least 25,000 of their 350cc horizontally opposed twins for military use throughout World War One, second only to Triumph with their Model H singles. In 1922 a Douglas ridden by Cyril Pullin became the first 500cc machine to achieve the magic 100mph in an hour and in 1923 Tom Sheard won the Senior TT with Freddie Dixon winning the Sidecar event. By 1926, with dirt track racing established in Australia, Douglas machines were already achieving success. Then in 1928 with the explosion of interest in dirt track racing getting under way in England after that first really successful event in February, Douglas was immediately established as the dominant machine with the 498cc DT5 and 600cc DT6 models selling in large numbers. In 1929 alone at least 1,200 were sold. The Douglas became the most spectacular, the most popular and the most successful mount on cinder tracks. The twin cylinder Douglas had its own unique spine tingling sound from the open pipes, a thunderous roar on full song. One of the biggest draws of the sport was the prospect of four DT Douglas machines in a single race. The standard DT 500cc produced around 27bhp but for an extra £10 the engine could be super tuned by the legendary Freddie Dixon who eventually squeezed 34bhp from the engine. Whilst hugely successful initially the rein of Douglas was short lived. In 1928 Rudge introduced their first offering which whilst not so successful to begin with soon established itself with rapid development, gradually eclipsing the Douglas. This DT Douglas, frame number TF 576, joined The Forshaw Collection in 1982 when it was purchased from Mr Walter Green (presumably the former speedway rider who finished second in the 1950 World Championship final). Having been restored to a very high standard this machine won a Special Award at the International Classic Bike Show in 1986. There is an accompanying file containing photographs, publication extracts and an original Douglas catalogue. The mechanical condition is not known and therefore we recommend re-commissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent.Key not requiredFootnotes: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

Offered from The Forshaw Speedway Collection c.1951 Excelsior-JAP 500cc Mk IV Speedway Racing MotorcycleEngine no. JOS/I 81792•The epitome of the speedway machine of its day•Considerably lighter than the preceding models•All welded construction with very light weight lugsThe Mk I (Lot 511) and Mk II (Lot 512) Excelsiors provided machines for the early post war period. A pre-war design, the remaining batch of Mk I frames ordered by Max Grosskreutz from Excelsior early in 1939 was now readily available for 1946 - the first speedway season since 1939. The Mk II was an updated robust but still quite heavy machine leaving the requirement for something more refined for the leading riders. There is some confusion as to whether there was a Mk III and if so how it evolved but from a report from early 1951 it is made clear that the current machine for the leading riders was the Mk IV. The Mk IV followed the path of the Mk II but was designed to be considerably lighter in the trend of recent frame construction, the frame using a light gauge aircraft specification Molybdenum tube. This was used for the front forks as well which now had smaller crowns with aluminium bushes as opposed to bronze bushes in the earlier frames. The frame was an all welded construction with very light weight lugs at the headstock and for the saddle tube position. The engine was mounted a little further back than the Mk II to achieve the required weight distribution. With these developments the Mk IV weighed in at under 200lbs a saving of a full 30lbs. The entire frame was chrome plated with the Excelsior signature bright red fuel tank. The Excelsior was the epitome of the speedway machine of the day. The riders in black leathers on this spectacular machine gleaming under the stadium lights. By 1951 Alec Jackson had the concession for Excelsior and had also taken over the manufacturer of the JAP speedway engine from the Prestwich factory. There is no known history with this Mk IV Excelsior but is it a further example of Richard Forshaw's discerning collecting targets. There are accompanying photographs and Mk IV literature including adverts.The mechanical condition is not known and therefore we recommend re-commissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent.Key not requiredFootnotes: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

Offered from The Forshaw Speedway Collection c.1979 Rotrax-JAP 4 Valve Speedway Racing MotorcycleEngine no. 4V 78602•An extremely rare example of the final evolution of one of the greatest engines in the history of speedway•Well presented conditionThe Tottenham factory of J.A. Prestwich have been known as manufacturers of a multitude of engines including the ubiquitous JAP speedway in 1931. Realising that speedway was a highly specialised sport Prestwich gave the sales concession of the engine to Victor Martin and Company Ltd in 1932. Victor Martin produced complete machines based on both Rudge (Lot 498) and Wallis (Lot 503) designs throughout the 1930s. After the war Victor Martin working with Clem Mitchell from Edinburgh developed a frame to meet the new post war demands. The Martin Mitchell lightweight frame was associated with Jack Young's back to back World Final titles in 1951-2. By this time other manufacturers were moving in - Mike Erskine with the Staride and Rotrax (Lot 520). In 1951 Alec Jackson bought the manufacturing rights to the JAP speedway engine as well as the concession to market Rotrax. The Mk I Rotrax frame used Reynolds 531 tubing in an all-bronze welded construction that was light and strong but with the desired flexibility. The frames were chrome plated by the neighbouring company, Blakes of Gosport. The Rotrax was another epitome of the 1950s speedway machine. However, with competition from Jawa moving in and pushing frame design, Rotrax followed the lead, producing the Mk II in 1969. George Greenwood succeeded Alec Jackson in 1967 and in 1979 gave the venerable JAP engine it's final development. With the 4 valve revolution now firmly established first with Weslake and Godden with Jawa eventually succumbing to the inevitable tide, Greenwood produced a 4 valve version of the JAP. The JAP engine had reigned supreme for more than thirty years but was now past its sell by date and this 4 valve development was never likely to be too successful. The attempt to produce a 4 valve JAP was a noble effort but very few engines emerged as it was never a popular choice. Today this intriguing engine is a great rarity. This Mk II Rotrax JAP is a well presented example of an extremely rare example of the final evolution of one of the greatest engines in the history of speedway. Accompanied with a considerable amount of JAP literature, photographs, parts books and adverts concerning the JAP legacy, the mechanical condition is not known and therefore we recommend re-commissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent.

1926 Raleigh 248cc Model 15Registration no. KM 7960 (see text)Frame no. 7924Engine no. M7974During the 1920s Raleigh's line-up expanded to include machines of numerous different capacities, both sidevalve and overhead-valve engined, ranging from a 175cc unitary construction lightweight to a hefty 998cc v-twin. A typical lightweight Raleigh of the Vintage era, the Model 15 was manufactured between 1925 and 1929 and was powered by a 248cc single-cylinder sidevalve engine driving via a three-speed Sturmey-Archer gearbox with chain final drive. This Raleigh Model 15 was purchased by the vendor's father as a 'barn find' in 1994. An older restoration, it appears to require only relatively light further restoration or re-commissioning. Pre-restoration images are on file. It should be noted that the registration number 'KM 7960' has lapsed and is not recorded in the DVLA/HPI databases. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the registration number's validity prior to bidding, and be aware that they are responsible for making the relevant applications should they wish to recover it. The machine is offered with a 1926 RF60 logbook and a purchase receipt issued by Hayward & Ashcroft of Whitstable, Kent in 1926.Key not requiredFootnotes: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.1924 Triumph 550cc SDRegistration no. KM 8169Frame no. 340231Engine no. 101461 (see text)Triumph's 3½hp model had 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 550cc 4hp model in 1914. Equipped with three-speed Sturmey-Archer gearbox, it was this revised 4hp - the Model H - that did such sterling service in WWI, some 30,000 'Trusty Triumphs' seeing action with British and Allied forces. Updated with chain final drive for 1920, it became known as the 'SD' (Spring Drive) because of its clutch-mounted, coil-spring shock absorber, and formed the basis of the later four-valve Ricardo model.This Triumph SD was purchased in the late 1930s from the original owner by the vendor's father, who used it with a box sidecar for his trade. The machine benefits from a replacement fuel tank (fitted at date unknown) and appears to require only relatively light restoration. No dynamo is present. The machine is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate, and it should be noted that although the V5C lists the date of registration as 1926, it is believed that the frame and engine both date from late 1924.

1938 Vincent HRD 498cc Series-A Comet Registration no. EVU 557Frame no. D1499 Rear Frame no. D1499Engine no. C846 Crankcase Mating no. 40 / 40• Rare Series A• Engraved signature to engine by Phil Irving• Matching numbers machine• Owned since 1972In 1927, HRD was placed in voluntary liquidation by its founder, Howard Davies. It was acquired by young engineer Philip Vincent, with financial backing from his father. Unimpressed by the standard of 'bought-in' engines, Vincent and fellow engineer Phil Irving designed their own engine for 1934, incorporating their high-camshaft layout. Initial models with this engine were the Meteor and Comet, later variations being the Comet Special and the TT model. The Rapide twin was to follow in 1936, but production lasted only until war broke out in 1939.The vendor purchased EVU 557 in his native USA in 1972, when it was in a poor state. It had originally been registered in the UK, and probably travelled to USA in the late 1960s, as evidenced by the continuation duplicate RF60 on file, which shows that the bike resided in the Cheshire and Chester areas during the late 50s and early 60s, being last taxed in 1963. When acquired, the bike was in poor condition, necessitating renovation / restoration by the owner, which he completed in approximately two years. Thereafter, the Comet was used by him regularly for touring in USA and Canada, for club rallies and events. The vendor was friendly with one of the brains behind Vincent, Phil Irving, who would visit the vendor in Washington State on regular occasions with his wife, Edith. On one of the visits in 1983, Irving decided that he should sign the vendor's Comet, having been responsible for its existence, and this he duly did with an engraving pen on the Comet's timing chest. The signature is still evident, and the event was recorded on a photograph (see photos).The bike was in regular use until the owner moved to the UK in 2018. It was shipped to the UK, and reallocated its original Manchester registration mark. Unfortunately, the vendor has some health problems which have curtailed his riding career, hence the sale of his much-loved machine. Running and working well when last in use, EVU should need only light re-commissioning prior to use by a new custodian. The Comet is running on Castor engine oil, and a quantity of the lubricant comes with the bike, along with assorted spare parts.The history file includes photocopies of the Engine Specification Sheet and Works Order Form, which detail that this Comet was originally equipped with Amal carburettor, Miller magdyno, TT bars, and Dunlop saddle. It still has the original engine, upper frame, and rear frame. The gearbox number was not recorded. Other documentation accompanying EVU 557 includes a current V5C, the aforementioned duplicate continuation RF60 log book, US Title document, and miscellaneous papers. It is presently declared SORN.Key not requiredFootnotes:Please click the link to view a video of this lot: click hereAll 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

1955 Vincent 998cc Black Series-D Shadow Registration no. 754 XVHFrame no. RD12829B Rear Frame no. RD12829BEngine no. F10AB/2B/10929 Crankcase Mating no. I49V / I49V• Timed at 124.82mph at Bonneville Salt Flats• Long term ownership for 47 years• Matching numbers exampleIntroduced in 1946, the Vincent series B twin was certainly fast, and the Black Shadow, announced in 1948 was even faster, with a top speed of around 125 mph. The Series B machines were supplanted by the Series C bikes in 1949, which ran through to 1954.For 1955 the series D was announced with a number of improvements, and new names – Black Knight and Black Prince. The crankcases were die castings for the first time; the cylinder heads became interchangeable with the adoption of the front head pattern for both cylinders; the new, state-of-the-art Amal Monobloc carbs replaced the inefficient and leaky 289s; coil ignition was fitted to improve starting; suspension was improved; the hand-operated centre stand appeared, and they were fitted with fibreglass enclosures to give a sleek streamlined appearance. However, the bikes were also available 'naked', without enclosures, and in this form retained the traditional model names of Rapide and Black Shadow.This naked Series D Black Shadow was purchased by the owner in 1975 in his native USA. In 1976 he decided the engine needed attention, so he stripped and rebuilt it to his own exacting standards. The proof of the quality of his work can be gauged by the fact that the year after, 1977, he took the bike to Bonneville Salt Flats, and was recorded at 124.82mph. The Shadow was used every year thereafter for rallies and for touring in the USA and Canada, covering many miles. It is fitted with a pair of Craven panniers, and the front brakes have been uprated to a pair of twin leading shoe brakes to enhance stopping power, although the original brakeplates and shoes accompany the bike.The bike stayed in regular use until the owner moved to the UK in 2018. It was shipped to the UK, and registered for use in the UK as 754 XVH. Although this machine was a UK-supplied bike, originally registered SLU 232, DVLA would not re-allocate the original registration without further documentary evidence of the connection. Unfortunately, the vendor has some health problems which have curtailed his riding career, hence the sale of his much-loved machine. Running and working well when last in use, the Shadow should need only light re-commissioning prior to use by a new custodian. 754 XVH is accompanied by some spares, including the original front brakeplates and clutch, together with a quantity of engine oil. Still with the original engine, upper frame, and rear frame, this Black Shadow represents a very original, and largely unmolested example of one of the rarest models of Vincent HRD machines. Documentation comprises a current V5C, a copy US Title, a VOC dating certificate, and sundry papers. The machine is presently on SORN.Offered with keyFootnotes:Please click the link to view a video of this lot: click hereAll 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

K125574 (see text)AJS first entered the Isle of Man TT in 1911, 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 23/4hp (350cc) sidevalve-engined 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 Vintage-era sports machines.The vendor purchased this AJS 'flat-tanker' from Adrian Moss approximately 12 years ago but has no knowledge of the its history. Following a conversation with Adrian Moss, he advises us that machine was purchased from Ron Farthing. No other history is known. The machine will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road, and it should be noted that the engine number is believed to be a non-factory re-stamp. The registration 'SV 9647' is recorded in the HPI/DVLA database; however, there are no documents with this Lot.

1924 BSA 349cc Model LRegistration no. NX 5643Frame no. 12487Engine no. 12287Introduced for 1923, the Model L, as it would come to be known, is noteworthy as BSA's first production motorcycle to have overhead valves. Inspired by the 1.1-litre Hotchkiss v-twin that powered the BSA-Daimler light car, the new engine displaced 349cc. Complementing this new ohv sports model was an otherwise similar sidevalve version sharing essentially the same cycle parts. 'To the sporting solo rider who asks for a 'go anywhere' mount, its records in the Scottish Six Days' Trial and the International Trials in Sweden in 1923 stand as recommendation,' stated Pitman's Book of the BSA, reviewing the sidevalve Model L. This sidevalve Model L was despatched from the factory on 2nd April 1924 and registered as 'NX 5643' in Warwickshire. The vendor's father-in-law purchased the BSA in 1973 and rode it regularly on short journeys until the early 1990s, since when it has been kept garaged and not used. Re-commissioning will be required before the machine returns to the road. 'NX 5643' comes with photocopies of an old-style logbook and V5C document, plus a BSA OC letter dated 2009 confirming the machine's origins and the fact that it has been 'restored to original spec'.

1956 Jawa 500cc Grand Prix Racing MotorcycleFrame no. P-500-36Engine no. P-500-36•One of four built in 1956•Sold by the factory in 1958•Kept in various private collections•Partial restoration of the transmission and running gearCzechoslovakia's National Arms Factory diversified into motorcycle manufacture in 1929, coining the name 'Jawa' for its two-wheeled products. Jawa's operations were combined with those of erstwhile rivals CZ in 1949, and throughout the 1950s and 1960s the marque's main claim to fame was an outstanding run of success in the ISDT, speedway racing and international moto-cross. In road racing, the two companies were not so successful, despite a spirit of innovation that saw them produce a diverse range of designs in the post-WW2 era.Jawa commenced its post-war campaign with double-overhead-cam parallel twins in 250, 350 and 500cc capacities. Racing at first only behind the 'Iron Curtain', Jawa began to venture into western Europe in the 1950s, one of its most successful early forays being Jan Kostir's visit to Zandvoort in 1954 when he won the 500cc event, beating some of the top privateers from Britain and Holland. Progressively developed, the Jawa twins provided star rider Franta Stastny with numerous international wins and places in the 1960s.As ridden by Kostir, Jawa's Grand Prix 500 produced a claimed maximum of 45bhp, good enough for a top speed just short of 130mph. The air-cooled twin-cylinder engine's aluminium alloy cylinders and 'heads sat above magnesium-alloy crankcases, while drive to the twin overhead camshafts was by means of shaft and bevel gears. There was an in-unit gearbox boasting four speeds and the entire ensemble was housed in a duplex loop frame made of square-section tubing. The example we offer is one of the very last of its kind built, being one of four DOHC 500s completed in 1956. This particular machine was sold from the factory in 1958. At time of going to press no information regarding its race history had come to light. However, it has benefited from the expert attention of Jawa specialist, Roger Henderson, albeit some time ago. The work was confined to wheels, brakes, front suspension and primary transmission. The brake plates (magnesium) were stripped and the shoe retaining posts (badly worn) replicated and replaced. Cracks in the plates were repaired and the shoes relined. The front forks were stripped, checked and re-greased, and new Avon Grand Prix racing tyres fitted. No major problems were found. The carburettors have been stripped, ultrasonically cleaned, reassembled and refitted. The geared primary transmission has been stripped and all bearings replaced. The clutch has new bearings and new friction plates. No work has been done on the engine.An example of a rare works Grand Prix racing motorcycle, manufactured in strictly limited numbers and only very infrequently offered for sale, this Jawa 500 represents an opportunity to gain entry into some of the most prestigious of historic motorcycle sport events worldwide.

Norman Stansfield Cornish MBE (1919-2014)"Thompson's Newsagent"Signed, oil on board, 28cm by 45cmProvenance: Purchased from the artistCornish painted the vendor's shop on Clyde Terrace, Spennymoor Born in 1919 in Oxford Street, Spennymoor Norman Cornish began working in the mines in 1933 and not long after he was accepted as a member of the Spennymoor Settlement, at just age 15. It was here that he met the author Sid Chaplin and later fellow mining artist Tom McGuinness. The resident warden of the Settlement Bill Farrell encouraged Cornish to "paint the life he knew".Cornish's paintings offer an insight into everyday life in Spennymoor and the mines, capturing scenes of places and an industry that no longer remain. The characters he painted are real people he knew and who belonged to the mining heritage. There was a time when Sid Chaplin expressed concerns over Norman's unvarying subject matter stating, "I've often been irritated by his seeming lack of enterprise, his lack of interest in anything but Spennymoor". However, this unerring dedication to his subject reveals and provides an intimate rendition of the industrial and social history of the North East.Some very light surface dirt trapped under the glass.
