Edward Collier (Breda circa 1640-1708 London)A trompe l'oeil still life of a framed letter rack with a copy of Antony Thysius's Sondaghsche uren, a letter, a Delft Almanac, two combs, a quill, a portrait miniature and other objects signed with initials 'E.C.' (on the letter, centre)oil on panel46.2 x 64.3cm (18 3/16 x 25 5/16in).Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate Collection, EuropeWe are grateful to Dr. Fred Meijer for dating the present outstanding and well-preserved example of Collier's work to his mature period when he was working in Leiden between 1702 and 1706. It can be compared closely to two other depictions by the artist of framed letter racks from the same period, both with portraits of Erasmus and both of which are dated 1703 (respectively with Peter Tillou in 1987; and with Richard Green in 2003 - see RKD image nos. 121442 and 107542). In the present painting, among the usual arrangement of journals, engravings, letters, combs, sealing wax sticks and other ephemera (signifying an updating of the older 'memento mori' still life model) is included a copy of Antonius Thysius's Sondaghsche uren, ofte Poëtische bedenckingen over eenighe historien uyt de H. Schriftuyr genomen. Gedrukt boek (which was published in Leiden in 1646 and translates as 'Sunday hours, or Poetic reflections on some histories taken from the Holy Scripture's printed book').Although the date of Collier's death had been variously given as early as before 1702 and as late as 1710, this confusion appears to have arisen from the records of burials of men with a similar name in Leiden (an Evert Colier and an Evert Pietersz. Coleyn respectively). We now know, however, that the artist returned to London since his last known painting is signed 'London 1707' and his burial is recorded on 8 September, 1708 at Saint James's, Piccadilly.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: N/APart of a private display of motorcyclesIdeal parade or classic racing machineIn good all round conditionNo paperwork availableThe 1960s Yamaha TD1 is an air-cooled twin-cylinder 250cc 2-stroke factory racer with a top speed of around 140 mph. The TD1 bikes had a significant impact on British 250cc class racing in the mid-'60s which was historically contested by single-cylinder engines. Some TD1 models were over bored to 251cc, thus being eligible for the 350cc class. The model was a very successful racer of the era.Part of a private collection of machines that have formed a lovely static display, this Yamaha is said to be in ‘very good overall’ condition for its age. Not ridden or started for the last year, it will need recommissioning before use. There is no accompanying paperwork.

Registration No: WDA 370M Frame No: PC502073164 MOT: ExemptJust two owners from newJust over 4,000 milesComplete and turns overOld style V5C on fileIn setting up his Honda Technical Institute in a small wooden shed in Hamamatsu in October 1946, the great Soichiro Honda founded what was to become the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer. The initial aim of Honda, who had built and raced cars in the 1930s, was to provide affordable transport for a home market on its uppers following Japan’s defeat in the Second World War. The first Hondas consisted of army-surplus engines attached to bicycles, although, only a year later, Honda had designed and was constructing his own 50cc two-stroke motor. By 1949, and already with 20 employees on the payroll, Honda was producing his first complete bike, the 98cc two-stroke Model D or ‘Dream’. The Honda PC50 met the needs of those seeking a simple machine for local transport and was one of the few machines produced at that time by Honda to employ a two-stroke engine.

Registration No: JY 6954 Frame No: SL3441 MOT: ExemptA Val Page designed TriumphRestored to a good standardFrom a private collectionCurrent V5C on fileThe 1935 Triumph 3/2 is quite a scarce model these days. Adverts of the day stated it offered a single port OHV engine of 350cc with a dry sump, a duplex cradle frame and tubular forks. This 1935 Triumph 3/2 350 machine has formed part of a collection of Val Page-designed Triumphs since entering the late owner’s possession around 2007/2008. Self-evidently the subject of a past restoration by a previous keeper, the 3/2 has not run for several years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use. It comes complete with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: YKH 976 Frame No: CAPR12177 MOT: ExemptThe well-respected Huntmaster TwinExtensive paperwork fileRF60 and other logbooks on fileIntroduced for the 1954 season, the new 650cc twin-cylinder Ariel Huntmaster utilised the highly regarded BSA A10 Golden Flash engine in the newly developed Ariel pivoted fork frame and has the distinction of being the brands last new four-stroke model before the arrival of the two-stroke Leader range in the early 1960s. This Huntmaster has come from ownership dating back to 1976, with RF60 and various older logbooks, ‘YKH’ was restored in late ‘80s by the present owner, then extensively campaigned with in excess of 60,000 subsequent miles including several European trips to Belgium, Montlhery and Paris-Bourges Run, to say nothing of numerous VMCC etc runs in the UK. With a recent engine refresh by PD Engineering the machine has had little use since, due to the vendor finding that ‘YKH’ is becoming too heavy to manage. Generally original with sensible upgrades including JG Electronic regulator, remote oil filter etc. The vendor advises a check-over prior to use, ‘YKH’ is most certainly a riders machine and represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a respectable example of the well-respected Huntmaster Twin. An extensive paperwork file includes the owner’s handbook, spares book, numerous invoices and receipts including a magneto overhaul and notes relating to ‘engine refresh’, correspondence and MOTs dating back to 1976.

Registration No: COU 39 Frame No: 62801 MOT: ExemptRestored a few years agoPart of a private collectionNice late vintage machine Introduced in 1934 as a replacement for the iconic ‘TT’, the ‘Sport’ benefited from the same alloy primary chaincase that its other Rudge 248cc siblings had adopted the previous year. Equipped with a positive stop foot gear change in place of the hand change utilised by the Standard model, the newcomer gained a larger fuel tank for 1936 but was otherwise little changed. This late 1930s Rudge 250 Sports has been part of a private collection for many years. It was purchased as a fully restored machine at the time. It has not been used for a few years now and will need some recommissioning before use. Please note the registration shown - ‘COU 39’ - is not on the DVLA database.

Registration No: FHJ 486D Frame No: 1002391 MOT: ExemptAuthentically restored first version of the CB450Very original including DID stamped wheel rimsRare in the UK supplied 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 and have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other powered products. By the 1960s, they had taken over the go-to-work and learner-bike market and began to move on to larger-capacity bikes. The CB450, commonly known as the 'Black Bomber', was Honda’s range leader until the arrival of the trendsetting CB750 in 1968. This beautifully presented 1966 Black Bomber is thought to be an early KO model that spent its first 45 years in the dry climate of California. Restored by a previous owner with an emphasis on originality, even down to the retention of its DID-stamped wheel rims, it looks to have done very few miles since. Before restoration, the speedometer only showed 2,000 miles and according to him the condition of the engine internals backed this up. It has been part of an enthusiast’s private collection of ’50s and ’60s classic bikes for the last 13 years, all stored in a heated garage. Having stood for a while, it may need some recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189
Registration No: F687 FTU Frame No: 5M6072346 MOT: NoneSmallest model in Yamaha's DT Trail bike rangeMany 16 year old riders first taste of motorcyclingSupplied with a sticker kit, seat cover and a V5C The first bike Yamaha produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German-made DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. The latter proved to be an immediate success in sporting events starting a long tradition of achievement that goes on to this day in Moto GP. In 1971 the launch of the RT360 invented a new genre of motorcycle, the trail bike, soon all other manufacturers were copying the concept and in the 1970s Yamaha had a full selection of two-stroke singles from 50cc up to 400cc. One of the most popular models was the DT50, technically a 'moped' so it could legally be ridden by 16-year-olds.This DT50 is from a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history. It appears to have had a partial restoration at some point with the paint on the frame and swinging arm looking good. A rare survivor of a bike that tended to get destroyed by first time riders, it has probably not been run for a while so will need some recommissioning before use, but the engine turns over on the kickstarter and it comes supplied with a spare sticker kit, seat cover and a current V5C.

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: TFD 85G Frame No: T100T H64819 MOT: ExemptPre OIF matching numbers 500cc Daytona T100TRun recently with new Amal concentric carburettorsStainless rims and spokes, supplied with current V5CTriumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling and in 1937 the Edward Turner-designed 500cc Speed Twin was released beginning a range of evocatively named vertical twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The Daytona was named after American rider Buddy Elmore's win in the 1966 Daytona 200 race riding a specially tuned works Tiger 100 developed by Triumph's Chief Engineer and designer Doug Hele. Based on the set-up developed for the Daytona race, Triumph launched a production model the following year featuring a new cylinder head fed by twin Amal carburettors with the valve angle reduced by two degrees and the intake valve size increased as a result of lessons learned on the works racer.This ‘matching numbers’ Daytona has been part of an enthusiast's private collection for the last 5 years and appears to have spent all its life in the UK. A good-looking bike in Green and Silver, it has been restored keeping a good degree of originality and has recently benefitted from a new pair of Amal concentrics and a wheel rebuild using stainless rims, spokes and new bearings. Fitted with a later seat, the original one comes with the bike together with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189
Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: DM900R 1905344 MOT: Exempt1983 DM900R1 Mk3 modelIncludes an an original style seat unitSupplied with Japanese docs and a NOVA NumberIn spite of Ducati’s continued success in World Superbike and Moto GP, their most famous victory was arguably Mike Hailwood's amazing win in the 1978 IOM TT Formula 1 race. Having retired from bike racing in the late 1960s and carrying injuries from his Formula 1 car racing career, ‘Mike The Bike’ topped the podium on his comeback, burnishing his legend still further. . To commemorate his wonderful achievement aboard the NCR Sports Motorcycles Ducati, the factory introduced a race replica based on the 900SS. Originally titled the ‘900 Replica’, the 1979 model was only produced in a limited run of 300 and had a fibreglass cover over a regular 900 Super Sport fuel tank. From 1980 onwards the fuel tank was made from steel but the bike was essentially the same as the 1979 version with Brembo brake callipers and Dell’Orto carburettors.This Mike Hailwood Replica looks to be a Mk3 version, fitted with an aftermarket single seat and tail cone it comes supplied with a standard unit. The bike has recently been imported from Japan. Not yet registered, it has been duty paid and comes with a NOVA number plus the official Japanese de-reg docs (including the translation needed should it be UK registered).

Registration No: WK54 CMY Frame No: ME3AHBST54C000072 MOT: Feb 2025An Indian-built Bullet 500Starts and runs wellA host of receipts and MOT certificatesCurrent V5C on file plus keysThe first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Co. of Redditch, which made its name manufacturing bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownerships, the name has survived to the present day, making it one of the longest-lasting monikers in the two-wheeled world. In the early 1950s, the Indian government was looking for a suitable motorcycle for its army to patrol the country's borders and the Royal Enfield Bullet was chosen as the most suitable bike for the job. In 1954, the government ordered 800 bikes from Redditch and in 1955 Royal Enfield partnered with Madras Motors to form Enfield India and assemble 350 Bullets under licence in Madras, with tooling being sold to the new firm to enable them to manufacture their own components. By 1962, all major parts were being made in India and in 1994 they merged with the Eicher Group, a large automotive company, allowing them to produce over 500,000 bikes a year. This 2004 Chennai-built Royal Enfield 500 Bullet was purchased to go with the vendor's earlier Bullet model. It has not been ridden since then and the time has come to move his small collection on. It benefits from a host of invoices for parts from Hitchcock, and seven old MOT certificates. The machine is in good overall condition for its age. We have been advised it is running well. It is offered with a current V5C and a file of paperwork. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: SVR 982W Frame No: JS1PK11A3B2100018 MOT: ExemptA good example of a Suzuki PE 400XRestored to a good standardBeen on display in a shopA current V5C on fileThe "Pure Enduro" series of off-road racing motorcycles ran from 1977 through to 1984 in engine displacements from 175cc up to 400cc. All engines were case-reed valve, air-cooled, two-stroke and single-cylinder with plain steel bores. Lubrication was provided via 20:1 pre-mix. These were directly related to the Suzuki RM series (Racing Model) range of motocross racers.This 1981 Suzuki PE 400X was imported into the UK in 2018, with a Nova certificate on file. Restored by its previous keeper shortly thereafter, the motorcycle was little used prior to entering the current ownership during which time it had been in shop display. It is offered complete with a current V5C, a Nova number on file and DVLA paperwork and a Certificate of Construction. Some recommissioning would be advisable before use.

Registration No: FKJ 54D Frame No: DF71501 MOT: ExemptFirst owner until 2023Restored in 2010 and recommissioned in 2023Current V5C on fileThe Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in 1861 and, as the name suggests, manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century, they started making bicycles and progressed to motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to become one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles until its demise in the early 1970s. The Bantam, introduced in 1948 as a 125cc, was not only their best-selling model but would become one of the best-selling British-made bike of all time. This 1966 Bantam D7 was bought by its first owner on 12th January 1966, not changing hands again until 2023. The BSA was taken off the road in 1971 and subsequently restored by its owner in 2010. Thereafter it was used very little and was stored once more until the new owner purchased it in 2023 and recommissioned it. The BSA has its original RF60 logbook, a current V5C, pamphlets and service books. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: XHJ 579N Frame No: 371207841 MOT: ExemptDisplaying 15,149 milesReported to be in 'good running order'Accompanied by a V5C Registration DocumentWhile the Yamaha XS500 may not boast the same street credibility as its larger counterpart, the XS 650. The engine was an air-cooled twin, four-stroke. The XS500C was the revamped-for-1976 model and came with something resembling more style and better durability. The first models had some problems with warping valve seats, so later cylinder heads were changed to round exhaust ports to help the heat dissipate.Offered here is an attractive and well presented ‘wire wheeled’ XS500. The odometer displays with an indicated 15,149 miles and is reported to be in 'good running order'. The vendor advises the machine will require a check-over prior to use. It is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document. For more information, please contact: Stewart Parker info@handh.co.uk 07836 346875

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.

From the outset, Puch enjoyed an excellent reputation for its high standard of design, build and reliability, important features on the roads around Europe at the time. Mainly concentrating on small two-stroke engined scooters and go to work vehicles, in the early 1960s they launched the 60cc Cheetah as a De-Luxe model featuring a solid heavy-duty pressed steel frame and legshields. In 1960 the upmarket 59cc Cheetah ‘Scooterette’ sold for £99 17/- 6d in the UK.This Cheetah is offered in original and un-restored condition showing a credible 2,745 miles to the speedo. It looks to have been in the UK since its first registration on 19th August 1960, supplied by John Fisher Motorcycles in Portsmouth according to the dealer transfers still showing on the headlamp casing and rear mudguard.

Registration No: N536 SMY Frame No: KE12385 MOT: June 2025Moto Guzzi’s classic big V-twin sports tourerPresented in a good and mainly original conditionSupplied with a new MOT and a current V5CMoto Guzzi - which was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps - survives today as Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer with a continuous production record. After mainly producing single-cylinder designs for their road bikes, Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger-capacity bikes and the venerated transverse shaft-drive vee-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design, with the sporty Le Mans models becoming among the most sought-after bikes of the 1970s. The 1100 Sport was the natural successor to the Le Mans, matching its lazy torquey engine with more up-to-date frame components such as WP rear shock and Brembo brakes, developed by Dr. John Wittner for his privateer racing efforts in the 1990s ‘Battle of the Twins’ races. This 1996 1100 is presented in mainly original and standard trim, including the stainless silencers. Some sources claim only about 220 of these models were produced in 1996 and, being the last of the carburetted 1100s, they are now quite rare and sought-after. It was imported into Britain in 2016 and bought by the vendor’s family in 2022, at which time it had a recommissioning service including new tyres, battery and carburettor rubbers at 25,193km. Now showing just 25,500km (15,845 miles), it will be put through a new MOT shortly before the auction and comes supplied with a current V5C.PLEASE NOTE: This lot is, in fact, an 1100 Sport model. The catalogue mistakenly describes it as a V11 Sport. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189
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: JAJ 133V Frame No: 4H3-001894 MOT: January 2025Rare in the UK XS1100 Midnight Special modelPresented in distinctive Black and Gold standard trimSupplied with some receipts, catalogue and a V5CThe Yamaha Motor Co. was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation, then more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike, produced in 1954, was the YA-1, which, like the BSA Bantam, was heavily influenced by Germany’s DKW RT125, but in typical Japanese fashion it was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This was an immediate success in sporting events in Japan, initiating a long succession of achievements that are still being added to in Moto GP. More famous for their performance two strokes, the four-stroke XS-1 650cc twin was first seen in 1968 and by the late ‘70s Yamaha had a full range of XS models from 250cc to 1100cc. The Midnight Special was based on the standard XS1100 but with distinctive Black paintwork with Gold accents. Only produced in 1980 and 1981, it is thought that only 250 were made each year. This Midnight Special has spent most of its life in the USA before being imported into Britain and authentically restored around 2019/2020, keeping as much originality as possible. A distinctive and rare limited edition model with its Deep Black finish and Gold highlights, it certainly stands out from the crowd, especially with its chrome four-into-two exhaust system. Run in March (see video), it passed an MOT on 12th January and comes supplied with lots of receipts, an American magazine featuring the model, an original sales brochure and a current V5C.

Ixion were characterized by their reliability and performance. This 1921 2½HP Ixion Ladies Model was purchased by Madeline Edith Healey in January 1925. It was purchased at the same time her sister Dorothy Pearce Healey purchased the other Ixion Ladies model offered at the sale. The sisters enjoyed the Ixions sparingly until 1931. It is understood a cousin from the family purchased both machines in 1954 and never did anything with them until they were sold by Palmer & Snell auctioneers at the Bath and West Showground in 1983. At the time, Palmer & Snell decided to keep them together as one lot. The lucky winning bidder was a Mr Joe Rush. This was the first time Mr Rush got into motorcycles and had limited knowledge of the restoration side of ownership, however, the machines turned out well after they were both restored. Since completion, they have been at many VMCC events together. ‘TB 1597’ has not been used for some time and would need to be recommissioned before use. It is offered with the original RF60 showing the two previous owners, a current V5C, old paperwork, and photos of the machine back in the 1950s.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: N/AInteresting 'barn find' classic racer projectBased on a mid-1970s Suzuki GT250AScitsu tacho and works style bodyworkBy the 1960s the Suzuki name had become known around the world due to its success in Grand Prix racing with its works bikes helping push two-stroke engine development forward. Two-stroke engines formed the basis of Suzuki’s road bike range with models like the T20 Super Six and T500 setting new standards for performance and reliability and forming the basis of the TR250 and TR500 factory race bikes. The TRs were heavily based on the contemporary road models so many people made their own replicas, very often incorporating a few tuning parts and specifications from the official racers with the T500 becoming the mainstay for privateer riders right up to Grand Prix level.This 'barn find' classic race bike, being offered without reserve, is based on a mid-1970s GT250A model that’s unfortunately from a deceased estate, so not much is known of its history. The bike looks to have a standard frame that has been de-lugged and braced, alloy rims and a 380/550 front end with Hagon shocks at the rear. The carbs look bigger than standard and it is fitted with a Scitsu tachometer, a steering damper and a full 1960s works-style fiberglass fairing, tank and seat. An interesting project to either recommission as a race bike or form the basis of a TR250 road bike replica.

The Phil Read Replica was a limited-edition model built to celebrate Read's victory in the first ever Formula One race at the Isle of Man TT in 1977. This 1979 Honda CB750 Phil Read Replica was purchased by the vendor as a part-restored machine in 2019/20. He set about checking the engine over first and found it to be in very good condition. All the wheels were refurbished, and all the brake callipers were completely overhauled with all-new seals, pistons, and brake lines. The carburettors were completely stripped, checked and renovated using all-new seals, jets and needles. All the panels and tank were treated to a professional respray by Pageant including all the lining and decals. This is a very good example of a Phil Read Replica and might well be one of the best on offer at the moment. It is all up and running, although it has spent a short time out of use. It is offered with a current V5C only. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

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.

Though built by the Enfield Cycle Co, the products were marketed from the early days as Royal Enfields and they became some of the most popular motorcycles of the 20th century. With present ownership since 2015, this Model 80 has been the subject of extensive and expensive restoration work. Fitted with a sidecar in 2016, the JAP engine has proved to be both powerful and reliable and as a combination it's described as handling 'extremely well'. The vendor advises that it should be checked over before use and also that the engine still requires some ‘running in’ after its rebuild. Superbly presented, this is a most impressive veteran combination and a great credit to its owner. Notable features include the seemingly unused headlamp— thought to be new old-stock—and the sidecar with its exquisite wickerwork, upholstery and tonneau. A substantial paperwork file includes the Pioneer Certificate, various notes and letters, copies of period literature, restoration receipts, etc. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully-restored, stylish and very capable veteran outfit which will without doubt be a welcome entry in numerous veteran and vintage events.

They soon began to produce their own engines and saw the advantage of competing in sports events to promote the marque. Bultó designed a 125cc roadster, which was tested in many of the trials and off-road events that were popular in Spain at the time, and this model went on to enter the 1951 International Six Days Trial ridden by Bultó and G. Cavestany. In 1958, chief designer Bultó left, starting his own company under the Bultaco brand name, beginning many years of fierce competition between the two companies. Together with another Spanish firm, Ossa, they went on to dominate trials events in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, with Montesa winning numerous world championships. This Cota 242 has been restored by its enthusiast owner, maintaining a good degree of originality. He carried out a full engine overhaul including the crankshaft, piston and gearbox, with all bearings and seals replaced, the Nicasil bore replated and the engine cases powder-coated. The wheels have been rebuilt with alloy rims and fitted with new tyres, and all the cosmetics have been refinished. Displayed since the rebuild, it's a very attractive bike to look at and once recommissioned would make a competitive mount for competing in twin-shock and air-cooled classic trials events. It looks to have only had off-road use in the past so there are no documents included. *The engine and frame number are both hard to read under a thick layer of paint but appear to both be 39M 000473.

Harley’s large capacity cruisers have been widely imitated but rarely, if ever, bettered in terms of image and prestige. The Sportster range has been produced continuously since 1957, powered by the classic air-cooled V-twin engine in a nice simple chassis and the model has formed the basis of many custom specials over the years. The 'Rat Bike' image is very popular at the moment, exaggerating the brutal musclebike look of the classic Sportster. This 1989 1200cc Sportster special is presented in 'Rat Bike' style with wrapped exhaust downpipes, knobbly tyres on alloy rims, braced swinging arm and cut away rear mudguard.

In 1983, he built the factory bikes for the Paris Dakar including one for himself. Hubert Auriol took overall victory and in 1985 Rahier and Auriol took first and second, with Schek himself victorious in the amateur class. In 1985 a replica model was launched by BMW known officially as the 'R80 G/S Paris Dakar'. This interesting bike has been authenticated by the BMW Group Archive as a 'BMW R 80 G/S Paris Dakar manufactured on June 3rd 1985 and delivered on June 26th to the German BMW dealer Wursser in Germering'. The German Fahrzuegbrief shows it was modified by Herbert Schek in 1987 with the capacity increased to 1008cc and the brakes improved. This included shortening the stroke and increasing the bore to 95.5mm to create a far more powerful free revving motor and the front brake was uprated to twin disc. Imported in 2020 by renowned GS experts BAMW, it’s been part of an enthusiast’s collection since and used by him for runs around the Peak District. The bike sounds fantastic and revs freely more like a 250 two-stroke. This a rare opportunity to acquire a very well sorted G/S that comes supplied with copies of the dating certificate and its German logbook together with a V5C.

In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic vee-twin bevel-drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. The unfaired Monster began as a styling exercise in 1992, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, and it took time to convince the management at Ducati to build it. The model became an immediate success and has gone down in history as the bike that saved Ducati due to its popularity and cheap development costs, with over 300,000 having been produced. This 1997 Monster 900 has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection for the last five years and has been his go-to bike for weekend runs. It is supplied in mostly standard condition, fitted with a Puig sports flyscreen and carbon-covered end cans. A well-equipped bike as standard, with Brembo brake callipers gripping a recent EBC front disc, together with upside-down front forks, one gets the character of a Ducati in a fairly simple package. The bike is fitted with a rare instrument cluster that incorporates a Rizom clock and will come with a fresh MOT, completed just prior to the auction, and a current V5C.

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.

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.

The marque was first seen at the 1913 Olympia Show with a simple design featuring a vertically mounted 2½ hp two-stroke engine of 211cc, with rear magneto, petroil lubrication, external flywheel and Radco forks. A chain-driven two-speed Albion gearbox and belt final-drive, or a single-speed with direct belt variations were offered. Post World War I, the 211cc model continued. That model was later joined by a 247cc version in 1920. Gearboxes were changed to Burman with two or three speeds.This lightweight 1923 Radco No2 was restored by the previous owner some 30+ years ago.

After retiring from bike racing in the late 1960s he won his comeback race, adding to his already legendary status. Ducati commemorated his achievement with a replica based on the 900SS. Originally titled the ‘900 Replica’, the 1979 model was produced in a limited run of 300 with a fibreglass cover over a 900SS fuel tank, but from 1980 onwards the tank was made from steel although the bike was essentially the same as the 1979 version with Brembo calipers and Dell’Orto carburretors.This beautifully presented and mostly original Mike Hailwood Replica was recommissioned by Steel City Classics a while ago after being displayed in a Scottish motorcycle shop window for the previous 10 years. A 1981 model with a steel fuel tank and two-piece fairing, but without the side panels it looks to be Mark 2 version. The fuel tank has been taken apart by Devon Bike Tank Restorers, blasted clean, lined with an E10 resistant coating and then professionally repainted at a cost of over £1400 last year. Fitted with stainless steel silencers and run recently by the vendor, it comes supplied with some receipts, a couple of manuals, some old MOTs and a current V5C.

The TRs were heavily based on the contemporary road models so many people made their own replicas, very often incorporating a few tuning parts and specifications from the official racers with the T500 becoming the mainstay for privateer riders right up to Grand Prix level. This 'barn find' classic race bike, being offered at no reserve, is based on a mid-1970s T500/GT500 model. It comes, unfortunately, from a deceased estate so not much is known of its history. An unfinished project, the bike looks to have a standard frame that has been delugged and braced, alloy rims and a 380/550 disc front end with a Grimeca caliper and Falcon shocks at the rear. The cylinder heads look to be sandcast and marked 'Crooks', the carburettors look bigger than standard and it is supplied with a brand new Scitsu tachometer, expansion chambers, Electrex World electronic ignition, a box of spares and a TR500 style tank and seat.

Its striking, radically angular styling made it the Italian poster-bike for a generation and sparked a fashion for under-seat exhausts. Meanwhile, it achieved success phenomenal success on track, winning the 1994 Superbike World Championship, its début season, and repeating the success in 1995, 1996 and 1998, making a hero of British rider Carl Fogarty. It shook up the superbike world and its commercial success helped affirm Ducati as the world-leading marque it is today. Penned by the late, great Massimo Tamburini, the 916 not only packed cutting-edge performance but also sported a sleek, distinctly Italian design that, when viewed from above, evoked an ‘hourglass figure’. The model was even displayed at the Guggenheim Museum’s Art of the Motorcycle exhibition. This very handsome Ducati 916 Biposto has been cherished by the current vendor since his ownership. It has had many upgrades, such as a Termignoni exhaust system with the original exhaust included, a Tecnosel seat with the original Biposto included and an uprated ECU with Ultimap Eprom. It has been dry stored and kept on a smart charger with a Datatool alarm. Work has included having the belts changed, brake and clutch fluids changed, a new clutch, an oil and filter change, new air filters and new Pirelli Rosso 2 front and rear tyres. There is a host of invoices for parts and labour. It has had a full service by Moto Rapido in Winchester.

Registration No: T.B.A Frame No: T.B.A MOT: ExemptA rare Motom S48 survivorRestored 6 years agoFrom a private collectionMotom only came into existence in 1947, when Lancia factory engineer Battista Falchetto saw the success of Ducati's Cucciolo 48cc four-stroke auxiliary motor and envisaged a complete motorcycle with a similar engine. Lancia's access to the pressed-steel specialists Farina, plus funding from the factory owner Ernesto Frua soon led to a model called the Motomic, and – despite early problems with reliability – derivative models were soon selling. The fledgling company was further boosted in 1953, when it temporarily recruited Gilera's celebrated designer – Piero Remor. Styling and mechanical details were revised to make the little bike more purposeful, and while the engine still only had 48cc, it put out over 2hp and gave the sort of performance that contemporary British motorcyclists expected from a much larger machine.This Motom S48 is a rare survivor today with its limited production run. The jewel-like four-stroke engine displaces just 48cc. Seemingly well restored in the past, the Italian machine appealed to the late vendor as an oddity. Not run since joining his collection, it will require recommissioning before use. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: MS 8345 Frame No: 2156 MOT: ExemptFrom a deceased estateStalled restoration projectMostly completeComplete with a current V5CDeveloped over many years, Velocette’s reliable two-strokes needed to be joined by more upmarket machines in the 1920s. The Percy Goodman-designed Model K employed a single overhead camshaft driven by vertical shaft, and due to the frame design had a very narrow crankcase. The 1925 Isle of Man TT was a disaster for the new Model K, with the three entries retiring with oil-fed lubrication issues, but such adversity was all part of its development and a new dry-sump system was introduced. Wins followed in 1927 and 1928 and by the end of the 1920s, Velocette’s Model K had established itself as a well-respected model. This 1928 Modek K was despatched to the agents Alexandra & Co. of Glasgow and sold to its Scottish first owner, Mr. D. M. Kinlay. It formed part of its late owner’s private motorcycle collection and some restoration work was carried out by him on the Velocette, but sadly he never finished it. A very nimble, lightweight Vintage machine, once completed it will be eligible for the famous Banbury Run and many other events. Mostly complete but with some parts missing, it is sold strictly as viewed. It is offered with a current V5C, its original RF60 logbook and a dating certificate from Ivan Rhodes.

Registration No: E520 YRO Frame No: GV71B 104032 MOT: August 2024 Rare unmodified survivor in standard trimIncludes an original Suzuki 4-into-2 exhaustSupplied with 20 old MOTs and a V5CBetter known for their two-strokes, in 1977 Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with Japanese build quality and performance levels. The GSX range appeared in the early 1980s, pairing Suzuki's bulletproof bottom end with four valves per cylinder. The legendary GSX1100 was one of the most powerful bikes of the day and became the starting point for many 'streetfighters' and drag race specials. This rare, unmodified GSX1100E ‘muscle bike’ is the ultimate expression of Suzuki’s air-cooled four-stroke range before they moved onto oil- and then water-cooling. Although a powerful bike in its day, there was plenty of scope left for tuning its over-engineered motor, so very few have survived in standard trim. This bike has been part of a private collection for a while and is only being sold to make space in the vendor’s garage. Run in March (see video) it may need a new battery before use and, although fitted with a Cobra four-into-one, it comes with a genuine and rare black chrome four-into-two exhaust system. Also included is a belly pan, 20 old MOTs, some invoices, a magazine featuring the model, an MOT until August 2024 and a current V5C.

Registration No: BSV 942 Frame No: YC1078166 MOT: ExemptEarly post-war BSA C10BSA's entry level machineUsed and enjoyed in ownershipCurrent V5C on fileThe little 250cc side-valve C10 entered the BSA catalogue during 1938. The new model featured a single- cylinder engine with coil ignition and a three-speed, hand-change gearbox housed in a rigid frame with girder forks and was graced with a combined fuel and oil tank. With the end of hostilities in 1945, it was among four machines announced to return in August 1945. In 1946, the girder forks were changed for telescopic items and the speedometer moved to the tank. A wonderful early post-war BSA C10 and an unusual model with a speedometer in the tank, this one was restored a few years ago and been in use since.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: ExemptA very sporty Comet racerPreviously owned by Julian BishopFrom a private collectionNo accompanying paperwork with this lotThe factory specification Vincent Comet was one of four 499cc single models. As well as the sports Comet, Vincent produced a TT racing model, the Comet Special (a TT model with lights) and the standard Vincent Meteor, which shared many of the same cycle parts. The prototype Series A was refined and developed into a production model Series B, but after World War II it was the development of the Series C that represents the ultimate Vincent 500cc single.This 1951 Vincent Comet race machine was previously from the estate of the ultimate all-round motorcyclist, Julian Bishop; the Comet benefits from matching frame and engine numbers. The current vendor purchased the Comet ‘racer’ to go with his Shadow. It is not known what has been done to the engine with regards to performance, but it has been fitted with Greyflash/Lightning-type brake plates with air scoops and there’s a Greyflash-type Albion gearbox. The comet has not been run in recent years but turns-over and will need some light recommissioning before use. There are no documents with this lot.

This very machine was restored by the famous Hughie Hancox to his usual concours standard and to factory spec. It was treated to a full strip down with all components refurbished or replaced with factory parts. This machine was purchased by the late owner for the Triumph section of his collection. The Speed Twin has not been used for some time and will require recommissioning before use. It is offered with a current V5C and without reserve.

Registration No: EFX 134C Frame No: Y26013752 MOT: ExemptFrom a deceased estateVery good restored conditionV5C Registration Document The Yamaha YM1 is a motorcycle produced by Yamaha from 1964 to 1966. It used a 305cc 2-stroke engine. The model shared common parts with the 246cc YDS3 and was virtually identical in all respects with the exception of bore and stroke. The YM1 featured an oil-injection system that fed oil to the carburettor intake, the oil flow increasing as the throttle was opened. This gave the motorcycle sufficient lubrication for the crankshaft, cylinders, connecting rods, and pistons without requiring premixing of the oil and gas and with reduced use of oil. It had a top speed of approximately 100 mph.We are advised this YM1 is from a deceased estate. Showing an indicated 8,269 miles and thought to have benefited from a previous engine overhaul, the bike is reportedly in running order. Said to be in generally very good cosmetic order, the vendor advises us that the Yamaha will nonetheless require checking over / recommissioning prior to use. The YM1 is relatively rare, having been built for only two years and this would be a good opportunity to acquire a nicely presented example. Offered with a V5C Registration Document and a SORN Certificate. For more information, please contact: Stewart Parker info@handh.co.uk 07836 346875
Registration No: KUJ 875 Frame No: CB32 273 MOT: ExemptTouring DBD with some mods to make it more rideableFitted with Mikuni carb, BTH Magneto and Alton DynamoSupplied with a BSAOC dating letter and a current V5CBSA was established in 1861 and became one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles. The marque’s most sought-after models were arguably the late 1950s / early 1960s Gold Star range of 350cc and 500cc singles and the equally rare Rocket Gold Star 650 twin.This is a nicely presented DBD34 Gold Star in touring specification that has been restored to use, fitted with a Mikuni carb, BTH Magneto and Alton Dynamo. According to the BSAOC dating letter, the rolling chassis was despatched to Jack Davies Motorcycles, Shropshire on 1st October 1953 as a ‘touring’ spec. model. Like so many bikes from the era, it somehow lost its original engine and is now fitted with a motor stamped DBD34 GS 7128 C that was originally sent as part of a complete bike to Hap Alzina in California as a 'Special Competition Model' in June 1963. As a 'touring' spec model it comes fitted with higher handlebars and a gearbox stamped 'SC' making it a far easier and more comfortable bike to ride. It has been part of an enthusiast’s private collection of ‘50s and ‘60s classics for the last few years, all stored in a heated garage. Stood for a while, it may need some recommissioning and comes supplied with a BSAOC dating letter and a current V5C.
