Studio of Michael Sweerts (Brussels 1618-1664 Goa)Three boys with a bowl of cherries oil on canvas84.4 x 71.3cm (33 1/4 x 28 1/16in).Footnotes:In a letter dated August 2023, Lindsey Shaw-Miller suggests that this fascinating painting is an early composition in Sweerts's oeuvre, painted soon after settling in Rome around 1640. This would make it a transitional work, displaying obvious Caravaggesque aspects to both the subject matter and the treatment of light and shade. Possibly an unfinished work, Shaw-Miller proposes that Sweerts may be 'experimenting here with compositional form, absorbing influences, acquainting himself with the pigments available to him in Rome and beyond, and, perhaps, exercising a more daring imagery than may have been afforded in conservative Brussels.'While the composition, subject and treatment are unusual, several aspects might point to the authorship of Michael Sweerts. As Shaw-Miller points out, 'He painted young boys many times, mostly as portraits or tronies... There is tension in the moment, and mischief, the central boy seeming to be caught between the other two, causing a subtle unease;' and Sweerts is known to have 'painted interactions, not always fully comprehensible, between two boys or men.'Shaw Miller concludes: 'In sum, it is not possible definitively to declare this painting an early work from the oeuvre of Michael Sweerts. It is difficult, however, to think of another painter in whom these particular aspects of form, theme, composition, treatment and technique would be combined.'We are grateful to Pierluigi Carofano for confirming an attribution to Michael Sweerts (private communication with the vendor, 23 June 2023).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Registration No: EKH 781K Frame No: 213513 MOT: ExemptA correct numbers machineImported a few years agoRestored to a good standardCurrent V5C on fileThe Norton Commando was produced by Norton-Villiers with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, from 1967 until 1977. Initially, having a nominal 750cc displacement, actually 745cc, in 1973 it became an 850cc, actually 828cc. It possessed a hemi-type head, similar to all OHV Norton engines since the early 1920s. During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the United Kingdom, it won the Motor Cycle News "Machine of the Year" award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Around 60,000 Commandos were made in total.This 1972 Norton Commando has been repatriated to the UK and has since been registered with a current V5C. It has been the subject of an older restoration, evidently restored to a good standard, and has been used since until its lay-up last year. Coming from a collection of machines, it will need some light recommissioning before use. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: VSK 697 Frame No: M14944F MOT: ExemptPart of a private collection of machinesRestored to a good standardOld style V5 on fileJames were prolific bicycle and motorcycle manufacturers from 1897 to 1966. The company was taken over by Associated Motor Cycles in 1951 and combined with Francis-Barnett in 1957. In 1966 the company became one of the many British motorcycle companies forced out of business by Japanese competition. James produced such well-known machines as the 98cc Autocycle, 125cc Comet, Commodore, 225cc Colonel and Captain plus a variety of trials and scrambles bikes.This little 1951 James Comet was purchased by the late vendor for his lightweight 2-stroke collection. Sadly, there is not much known about the James beyond it having had three owners since 1983. Some light recommissioning will be required before use. It comes complete with an old style V5.

Registration No: R221 ERT Frame No: JH2SC36A0W1Y102179 MOT: NoneGood quality Rothmans Racing replica paint schemeNew Delkevic Stainless Steel exhaust systemSupplied with a current V5CThe Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The V-twin VTR1000, introduced in 1997, was built by Honda to compete with Ducati in the showroom and on the race track going on to win two World Superbike Championships for Colin Edwards in 2000 and 2002.This VTR is from a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history. The bike appears to have been an ongoing project and it has been refinished in a good quality Rothmans Racing replica paint scheme and fitted with a full Delkevic stainless steel 2-into-2 exhaust system that looks like it never been used. The headlamp is not fitted but comes supplied with the bike together with a spare wiring harness, a new carbon look rear light unit and a couple of spare dash boards. An interesting project to finish off and recommission it comes together with keys and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189
Registration No: CAA 440R Frame No: 108845 MOT: ExemptAn older restorationRunning recentlyIdeal light weight machineA current V5C on fileSuzuki revised the design of their long running GT250 model from the 1976 season, dispensing with the "Ram Air" covers. New cylinder heads were fitted to the revised engine, which now featured a four bearing crank and revised porting. The loss of the Ram Air covers resulted in cleaner styling whilst the performance benefited from the redesign, although the engine lost a little of the bottom end tractability displayed by its predecessor.This 1968 Suzuki GT 250 was restored by the previous owner around five years ago. It has been used since completion and has mellowed nicely to make it into riders' machine. Since it was purchased by the current vendor it has been run up from time to time and has formed part of a small collection. Some general checks are advised before placing back on the road. The Suzuki comes complete with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: UXG 398 Frame No: 7/807 MOT: ExemptOwned for the last 20+ yearsRestored by the current ownerFast late vintage AJS R10It comes complete with a current V5CThe 500cc R10 was the big brother to the 350cc R7, the chain-driven overhead-camshaft AJS that superseded the famous and highly successful ‘Big Port’ overhead-valve model. It was a time when ‘camshaft’ engine designs were all the rage, with Velocette and Norton already hard at work on their own designs by the time the AJS version saw the light of day in late 1926. The R10 on offer has been with the current owner for over 20 years. Purchased as a substantially complete restoration project, he spent several years restoring it to the current condition. The engine was stripped, checked and overhauled and parts were replaced where necessary. The head was checked, found to be in good order, and treated to new guides and lapped-in valves. The frame was stripped and painted along with the rest of the tinware. The wheels were renovated too. The R10 was used for a few years, went into short-term storage, and last year was placed back on the road. Described by the owner as ‘running very well’, it ought to perform as a decidedly speedy bike of the late pre-war period should. It comes with a current V5C.

Registration No: T.B.A Frame No: T.B.A MOT: ExemptA very original Demm ‘Dick-Dick’Classed as a 50cc mopedRide or restore machineAt no resevre Daldi and Luigi Matteucci established a small company during 1919 in Milan named Società Anonima Daldi which built automotive parts. In 1928 the company name changed to Officine Meccaniche Daldi and Matteucci and finally, in 1939, to DEMM, an acronym for ‘Daldi and Matteucci Milan’. In 1952 Demm began building mopeds and light motorcycles and subsequently, in 1956 Demm established 24 world speed records in the 50cc class; this was followed by more competition success in the sixties, winning the Italian 50cc championship with their DOHC machine.This 1961 Demm Unificato is an unusual 50cc four-stroke machine. It has formed part of a private collection of mainly Italian motorcycles and autocycles. Reportedly purchased by the late vendor on account of its originality, it has not seen recent usage and as such will require recommissioning.

Registration No: SV 7034 Frame No: 72358 (Not visible) MOT: ExemptA beautifully restored DouglasA high standard Banbury machineDating certificate on fileOld style V5CThe Douglas Bros, who started up in 1906, acquired the design of a flat twin-cylinder engine from J. Barter's defunct Light Motor Company enterprise, Barter coming to work for Douglas. Having two cylinders horizontally opposed 180 degrees to each other was much the same elegant solution to twin-cylinder engine design as adopted by over fifty other motorcycle manufacturers, although Douglas chose a longitudinal layout for their early twins.This 1924 Douglas TS 2¾ HP was previously owned by a Mr. Don Brown who restored the machine to a concours standard in around 1997/8. Once the machine was complete he set about gaining its original registration number but sadly lost the case with the DVLA as it had already been allocated, but an age related number was granted using a dating certificate from The London Douglas M.C.C. The TS 2¾ HP was then bought by a Mr Lowther who used it on many VMCC events in the Somerset area before selling it to the late vendor in July 2008 (receipt on file). The Douglas has not been started for the last few years and so will need some light recommissioning before use. Offered with an old style V5C dating certificate.

Registration No: LXY 266 Frame No: 34136 MOT: ExemptPart of a private collectionA good restoration of the modelA very early 6T ThunderbirdCurrent V5C on fileTo capture the American market, the 6T Thunderbird used a variant of the earlier Speed Twin's parallel-twin engine, bored out from 500cc to 650cc to give the added horsepower American customers demanded. The concept of enlarging the Speed Twin was dreamt-up by managing director Edward Turner. The 6T Thunderbird was launched publicly at Montlhéry near Paris, where a trio of production bikes were ridden around the circuit averaging 92 mph over a distance of 500 miles. All three machines were ridden to the circuit and then back to the Meriden factory. Triumph obtained further lasting publicity with Marlon Brando's 1953 motion picture The Wild One, in which he rode a mildly customised 1950 6T Thunderbird. On offer is an early Triumph 6T Thunderbird that was restored by the previous owner to a very high standard and which is holding up well. Purchased by the late vendor in 2007, to form part of his Triumph collection, he used it sparingly to keep it in nice order. Not ridden for some time, the Thunderbird will need some light recommissioning. It is being offered with a current V5C..

Registration No: 201 FRR Frame No: CB328532 MOT: ExemptFrom long term ownershipRebuilt 20 years agoOld duplicate RF60and the V5C logbook presentLots of paperworkOn offer is a 1960 BSA DBD 34 Gold Star. The machine must have had a mishap sometime in or around 1970 as the frame has been changed with documentation on the RF60 logbook at the time. The original frame is included in the sale and has been painted some time in its life presumably to put back as original. It is not known whether the frame has been realigned / sorted out. The Gold Star had a belt conversion in 2001, the belt has been changed since then. The late owner had the BSA MOT’d and used it for his birthday-only we have been informed and when the MOT exemption came-in, he still carried on riding it on his birthday. A good all-round machine, it will, however, need some light recommissioning before use, due to short term storage. It is offered with a current V5C, old duplicate RF60 logbook with the frame change documented, some 15 MOT certificates, various bills and receipts for parts including the belt conversion and an original Lyta petrol tank. There are some pictures of the BSA when it was first collected by the previous owner. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: GGT 359 Frame No: 8909 MOT: ExemptUsed in many 'war' filmsFrom a private collectionOwned since October 2000Originally purchased direct from the British ArmyV5 on fileDeveloped in response to War Office demands for a lighter machine for military service, the Matchless G3L was based on the pre-war overhead-valve single-cylinder G3 but featured some significant modifications. The most notable was the adoption of the ‘Teledraulic’ front fork. Based on a pre-war BMW design, the new telescopic front fork was significantly lighter and more effective than the contemporary girders. A single downtube frame replaced the pre-war duplex design, saving weight and increasing ground clearance. On offer is a Matchless G3L that has saw wartime service with the British Army. When demobbed, it was sold to a Mr. Webb for £50 and given the registration number ‘GGT 359’ on 31st December 1946, with an invoice on file. There is little other history prior to the late owner purchasing it in December 2000, after which it formed part of his private collection. It has been used in many films both as a background prop and minor action vehicle. It comes with an old-style V5 and a receipt documenting its sale from the army. Some light recommissioning will be required before use. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: T.B.A Frame No: T.B.A MOT: ExemptA rare survivor todayNot many known to existRestored some time agoA nice VMMC eligible machineAble to trace their roots back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries respectively, two of Birmingham’s most respected manufacturing concerns merged in 1889 to form the Alldays & Onions Pneumatic Engineering Co Ltd. A major supplier to the local railway, blacksmith and foundry industries, Alldays & Onions diversified into motorcars during 1898 and motorcycles five years later. The company’s first two-wheelers were marketed under the Alldays Matchless moniker until 1915 when the ‘other’ Matchless took exception. Unveiled in 1914 for the following moder year, the less contentiously named Alldays & Onions Allon was a well specified lightweight machine that sported a distinctive triangular tank. Powered by a 269cc two-strole sidevalve single-cylinder engine, it utilised belt-drive and could be specified with two gears.On offer is an Alldays & Onions Allon machine that was restored some time ago by a previous keeper. It was purchased by the late owner to form part of his private collection of machines and this would fit into a lightweight Vintage section. Not used since ownership, it will need some light recommissioning before use. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: DK08 CJE Frame No: SMTTJ9107G8354075 MOT: 27/02/2025A good all-round usable TriumphIn good condition for its ageSome signs of wearCurrent V5C and keys on fileThe mid-to-late 2000s Bonneville closely resembled the earlier models in style and basic configuration, but enjoyed all the benefits of modern engineering. At its début, the new version arrived with a 790cc parallel-twin engine, with the higher-specification T100 receiving an 865cc engine in 2005. The Bonneville Black was produced from 2004 to 2008. A variation on the base model with Black paint, it saw the introduction of the black engine covers which would be used across the family from later in 2004, except on the Speedmaster, SE and T100. The 865cc Bonneville competed directly with the Harley-Davidson 883, with Motor Cycle News declaring that the "Triumph Bonneville is unquestionably the better motorcycle. The handling is more than respectable, the brakes markedly better and, of course, it’s British." On offer is a real rider's machine that can be used straight away for the rest of the summer. It shows signs of light use with 13,642 miles on the clock from new. We have been advised that it runs very well. It is being offered with a current V5C registration document.

Registration No: AP 8518 Frame No: 10967 MOT: ExemptJust three owners from newOffered at ‘No Reserve’Restored many years agoOld style logbooks also on fileLevis motorcycles (1911–1940), manufactured by Butterfields Ltd. of Birmingham, were one of England's leading two-stroke motorcycle marques. Diversifying into four-stroke machines in 1928, Levis faded out during World War Two. Intriguingly, the prototype was made in the Norton Works by designer Howard ‘Bob’ Newey but rejected by James Norton. Undeterred, Newey then joined with the Butterfields, Arthur and Billy, and sister Daisy, to set up a motorcycle company (Newey later married Daisy). Their first model had a capacity of 211cc.According to the RF60 buff logbook on file, this particular Popular model was first registered in 1925 (some two years after it was manufactured). The same document carries taxation stamps up until 1935 which argues that the lightweight Vintage machine may have been off the road for many years. Little else is known about its history prior to the Levis entering the late vendor’s extensive collection during 2007. The Popular has not been used for a few years and will require some light recommissioning before use. It is being offered with current and old style V5Cs plus the aforementioned RF60 logbook.

Registration No: SSV 385 Frame No: M 7662 MOT: ExemptFormed part of a collection of machinesLong-term ownershipIn Army trim and is 1941Current V5C on fileThe first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch, which had previously manufactured bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownership, the marque has continued through to the present day, making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. Initially just called Enfields, the bikes soon became Royal Enfields and were among the most popular machines of the early 20th century. The Bullet holds the distinction of being the world's longest-running production motorcycle, having been built in various capacities from 1933 to the present day. This 1941 Royal Enfield has been dated as 1941 by the VMCC and it is believed that it may have seen service at some point in its early life. The Royal Enfield has had a restoration, and in its time with the late vendor was used on some film sets as a ‘background vehicle’. Purchased ‘as is’ in 2007 to form part of his collection of military machines, it has not been used in recent years and may require some light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C and a dating certificate from the VMCC. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: 451 XUF Frame No: MK10947 MOT: ExemptA very early EMC Split SingleRestored to a good standardNot many have survivedCurrent V5C on fileDr Josef Ehrlich arrived in the UK from Austria during 1937, his interest was centred on the development and potential of the two-stroke engine. In its pre-war guise his Split Single two-stroke displaced 240cc. The Split Single powerplant, which featured a cast iron barrel with alternating deep and shallow fins was offered in two guises, the S with a Pilgrim oil pump providing the engine lubrication and the T which relied on the petrol system of lubrication. Both versions employed a rigid duplex frame with a cast bronze backbone and steering head fitted with Dowty oleo-pneumatic forks. 7-inch brakes were employed with two drums gracing the front wheel. A Burman four-speed gearbox provided the transmission which was characterised by a high overall ratio in the interests of fuel economy.Although technically interesting, the machine failed to sell in large numbers and examples are extremely rare today. This 1947 EMC 350 Split Single was acquired by the late owner for his collection in 2007. Drawn to its rarity and the fact it was built in the UK, he was unable to unearth any prior history. The EMC has not been started or ridden for several years and so will require some light recommissioning before use. It is offered with a current V5C.

Registration No: SBO 326 Frame No: P1379457 MOT: ExemptA very rideable machineFitted with an electric startAlton alternatorStarts with easeThe Norton ES2 was in production from 1927 until 1964. A mid-range offerin with a sporting bent, it remained popular due to its reliability and ease of maintenance. From 1947 the ES2 had an innovative hydraulically damped telescopic front fork. This 1958 Norton ES2 has a lot of money spent on it to enhance its rideability. The previous owner totally restored the Norton to a very high standard during the process of which he decided to place a starter motor and an Alton alternator on it. The starter motor is understood to have benefited from a belt conversion too with the primary cover being modified to suit. The Norton started with ease at the press of a button but some light recommissioning is advised due to recent inactivity.

Registration No: 312 UYO Frame No: 224280 MOT: ExemptBeautifully restored Heinkel PerleGreat attention to the restorationA must-have for the autocycle collectorCurrent V5C on fileFollowing WWII, Heinkel was prohibited from manufacturing aircraft and instead built bicycles, motor scooters and the Heinkel microcar although the company eventually returned to aircraft production in the mid-1950s. Heinkel built the Perle moped from 1954 to 1957, a sophisticated cycle with a cast alloy unit frame, rear suspension, a fully enclosed chain with part of the chain enclosure integral with the swing arm, and interchangeable wheels. This high level of sophistication came at a high cost. As with most mopeds, it had a two-stroke engine with a displacement of 50cc that operated on a mixture of gasoline and lubrication oil. Approximately twenty-seven thousand were sold.This very unusual Heinkel Perle has been restored at great cost and must be one of the best on offer today. The attention to detail on the restoration by the previous owner must have been a labour of love. This would make a great addition to a cycle motor collector. Part of a collection of small machines the late vendor was gathering it’s not been used for a while and has been up on a platform in the collection. Some light recommissioning would be advised before use. It is offered with a current V5C, sales brochure and booklets.

Although, that did not stop the marque recording a number of TT veictorires including the 1929 event. A hallmark of all Marston Sunbeams was theRegardless of their Model designation, Marston Sunbeams were characterised by their superb fit and finish with ‘MB 236’ being no exception. Part of the vendor’s collection since 1991, he describes it as being in ‘excellemt overall’ condition both cosmetically and mechanically. The Light Tourer’s short stroke 500cc engine was famously free-revving and coupled to a 3-speed gearbox it offered impressive performance, handling and flexibility, apparently exploited to the full by the vendor during the Isle of Man Centenary celebrations! Notably, an engine of the type fitted in ‘MB’ still holds the accolade as being the last ‘side valve’ to win a TT race. Although ‘MB’ has proved to be a very reliable machine during the vendor’s ownership, he advises a routine check-over before use. ‘MB 236’ offers a good opportunity to acquire an excellent example of a much respected and lively 'flat tanker' with outstanding sporting credentials. Paperwork includes V5C and MOTs dating back to 1991 etc. For more information, please contact: Stewart Parker info@handh.co.uk 07836 346875
Registration No: UF 9350 Frame No: M1/1628 MOT: ExemptWonderful old rider's machineLong-term ownership over 50 yearsSome spares with this machineContinuation RF60 and V5CCalthorpe cars and motorcycles were built by Minstrel and Rea in Birmingham. Motorcycle output was mainly light to middleweight until, in 1929, a 500 OHC machine was listed. In the recession-hit '30s, Calthorpes were exclusively retailed by the prominent London retailers Pride and Clarke. Purchased by the current vendor way back in 1972, it was used on countless journeys by the owner, for trips to Wales and Scotland. The Calthorpe has very rarely left his side in all the years he has owned it. Despite its barn-find-look, it is running and comes complete with many spares including the panel for the tank and the original frame. The frame has been changed due to it being cracked on the lower tube under the petrol tank. This would be an easy fix, but the previous owner purchased the machine and the spares as one lot in 1972. The current owner has had it for a year and has only replaced the magneto pick-up and used it a couple of times around the farmyard. Due to a busy life, he has no time to enjoy it. The Calthorpe is offered with a current V5C, continuation logbook and some spares. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Starting off producing bicycles with auxiliary engines they soon progressed to making complete bikes with their own tubular steel frames and two-speed gearboxes. Satisfying the Italian fascination with small bikes and the demand for more performance they soon offered tuning kits to uprate the standard bikes. Inspired by Ducati Cucciolo importers Britax, 50cc racing began in the UK in 1955. The quick and relatively inexpensive Italian Itom Competizione made the class viable. The machines formed the basis of many specials that kickstarted the careers of a few world champions in the sixties such as Mike Hailwood, Bill Ivy, Dave Simmonds and Beryl Swain, the first lady to compete on a solo at the TT.This 1966 Itom Racer four-speed is a Mark 8 example that has been raced in Ireland for most of its life. We have been informed it was restored in 2005 and used from then until 2020. Purchased by the late vendor in late 2020, it has formed part of his collection of Italian motorcycles.

It proved to be one of the best-selling bikes of the 1970s and even now is still a very usable classic.On offer is a 1976 Honda 400/4 which was purchased by the vendor from his brother about five years ago as a non-runner. The seller set about sorting out the Honda by removing the carbs, cleaning them and adding new needles jets and floats. Once it was running, he went through the braking system and rejuvenated and / or replaced parts where necessary. Subsequently, the wheels were rebuilt and shod with new tyres and tubes. The Honda was last used at the end of 2023. Some light recommissioning would be required before placing back on the road. It is offered with a current V5C and 14 old MOT certificates dating back to the 1980s. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: BBK 370M Frame No: CB75002300085 MOT: ExemptBuilt as a café racer in the StatesPurchased by the owner in 2018UK registeredCurrent V5CThe introduction of Honda's seminal CB750 at the Tokyo Show in October 1968 single-handedly elevated motorcyclists’ expectations to a higher level. The model did not break new ground in terms of individual components but taken as whole package, its specification was truly innovative Four-cylinder powerplants, electric starting, 12v electrical systems and disc brakes had all been seen before, as had 120 mph performance and oil tight engines but no machine prior to the CB750 had incorporated them all. Many found their way into the possession of customisers wishing to marry the technology to more radical design and imagination. The current owner found this Honda CB750 café racer whilst in the United States and had it shipped back to the UK. Completely different to the other machines in his collection the Honda has primarily been used for ‘going to local pub meets and bobbing around’. Based on a 1973 CB750, it is not known what mechanical modifications, if any, ‘BBK 370M’ underwent as part of its customisation. Some light recommissioning is advised before use. It comes complete with a current V5C and DVLA correspondence For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: EF 1462 Frame No: 3258 MOT: ExemptPart of a collection of Vintage machinesOwned since 1989Long term previous ownershipCurrent V5C on fileThe Monopole name first appeared in 1902, when a machine was exhibited at the Stanley Show for motor vehicles by the Monopole Cycle Co. It was a very primitive affair with a 2¼hp engine and a single-lever control. The name did not appear again for several years but surfaced once more at the 1912 Olympia Exhibition as the Monopole Cycle and Carriage Co. of Foleshill, Coventry. Two models were exhibited, similar in type, with 2½hp and 3½hp Precision engines. They both had Saxon forks and direct-belt drive, the larger to a Sturmey-Archer three-speed hub gear. The design and finish were of high quality although the specification was conventional. After the Great War, the two-strokes continued and were joined by four-stroke models with Abingdon and JAP engines and a choice of transmissions. Some sports versions had all-chain drive as standard. The Motor Cycle magazine of 24th November 1921 reported on the marque at the Olympia Exhibition. By this time, it was producing models with Villiers, Abingdon and JAP engines. This 1921 Monopole was first registered in West Hartlepool. Accompanying early driving licences and insurance documents suggest that it soon relocated to London and the stewardship of a Mr Swift. No further history is known until it enters the hands of a Mr. Hunt, who was seeking information on the machine through Bob Currie. It was purchased by the late vendor in early 1989. There is correspondence with the DVLA to retain the original number plate, for which permission was eventually granted. Restored thereafter and used on many vintage events including the Banbury Run, it has not been ridden for a few years and will need light recommissioning. It comes with a current V5C, DVLA paperwork, old insurance documents, and driving licences. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
