An 18th-century Tibetan painted mandala thangka depicting various lamas, an outer ring of repetitive mantra script, and protective inscription at all eight gates leading into the central square buildings. With provenance affixed to the verso.Accompanied by a letter which reads:Tibetan Mandala, gouache on cotton.Mandala of Samsara.The painted mandala is a two-dimensional, symbolic and representational blueprint. It is believed that two-dimensional mandalas have a remarkable ability to intensify the beholder's power of imagination and to stimulate the creativity needed by the practitioner to visualize the three-dimensional. Looking at mandalas is thought to help create a model for the practice of contemplative visualization.This Mandala has an outer circle of flames protecting the inner residence. Moving toward the center this is followed concentrically by what is thought to be a Vajra fence, a repetitive mantra script and then finally the lotus base containing the lotus petal within a circle. The square within the circle represents the building, in the center of which lives the deity. The building is constructed to face in four directions.According to Tibetan convention, East is in the front, and South, West and North follow in a clockwise direction. A door faces from each direction location and is guarded by gate protections. The inner square contains a circle divided into nine parts, that contain what looks to be a mantra of um.Tibetans share with all Buddhists a belief in a cycle of beginningless rebirth called samsara, where beings are reborn according to the law of Karma. Briefly, virtuous actions result in happiness in the future, while non-virtuous deeds result in suffering. It is considered desirable to be reborn as a human or god, however, the goal of the Buddhist path is to escape entirely from the cycle and to end suffering and future rebirth forever. This state beyond suffering is called nirvana.Sight; height: 13 1/4 in x width: 11 3/4 in. Framed; height: 23 in x width: 21 1/2 in x depth: 3/4 in.Condition:Study images closely. The work is of significant age and therefore show signs of wear as expected, numerous areas of minor paint loss, and evidence of creasing or folding. Close inspection with a black light reveals no evidence of restoration or inpainting. Some of the lettering appears to be faded or have been vulnerable to cleaning.

Vladimir Griegorovich Tretchikoff (South African, 1913-2006)Zulu Girl signed and dated 'TRETCHIKOFF/ 51' (lower right)oil on canvas 66.5 x 49.5cm (26 3/16 x 19 1/2in).(framed)Footnotes:ProvenanceAcquired directly from the artist by Mark & Aleen Dawson;Bequeathed to Aleen Dawson's niece, Donna Regan Lefeve;By direct descent to the current owners.Never exhibited in the lifetime of the artist, this work was painted during Tretchikoff's golden decade. It was in the 1950s that he produced such mass-market masterpieces as the Chinese Girl (a high-profile sale was handled by Bonhams in 2013), Miss Wong and Balinese Girl. The Broadway actor Mark Dawson purchased Zulu Girl in 1953, when Tretchikoff brought his show to Chicago. The second painting that Dawson acquired from the artist was the iconic Lost Orchid (seen also in this catalogue).It is probably an early version of the Zulu Girl, a work that first became available in reproduction in 1952, during Tretchikoff's tour of South Africa. The following year, he brought both versions to the USA for his tour of North America. After the phenomenal success of the tour, he took one of the Zulu Girls to London, where Frost & Reed, an old Bond Street art dealership, had lithographs made of the painting. Tretchikoff may be credited with introducing the African theme in popular prints of the post-war Britain. If we examine the issues of the Art Bulletin, a journal of the Fine Art Trade Guild, the leading association of British makers, distributors and framers of art reproductions, we will notice an absence of African portraits until Tretchikoff's Zulu Girl appeared on the market in 1955. The Zulu Girl is Tretchikoff's typical 'exotic' portrait. In his oeuvre, it is this kind of portraits that is most sought after. Unlike his pictures of Asian women, it is purely South African in its subject matter. With such studies, Tretchikoff created images of serenity for the industrialised world. In his exhibition catalogues, Zulu Girl was described as follows, 'A portrait in repose, suggesting the essential spirit of Africa, still so little known and so greatly misunderstood by the European.'The early version, like the often-reproduced picture, is dated 1951. The most obvious difference is the presence of a dappled red-and-blue background in the work in the Dawson collection. However, a more significant difference is the unembellished look of the model in this version. Tretchikoff tended to produce pastiches, where visual elements of different cultures were put together for effect. In the better-known Zulu Girl, as well as in many other 'ethnic' portraits by Tretchikoff, the model wears European jewellery that contrasts with her traditional African dress. Her large gold earrings, bracelet and necklace were unaffordable to a Zulu woman in apartheid South Africa.Depicting the same model without the inappropriate accessories, the Zulu Girl from the Dawson collection is a more authentic representation of African reality.We are grateful to Boris Gorelik for his completion of this footnote.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

Ltd, one of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner, who at the time was looking for work and showing drawings of his engine designs to various motorcycle manufacturers. In the days of predominately single-cylinder engines a square four layout was very advanced and the bike stayed in production until the late 1950s. The engine with two transverse crankshafts was essentially a pair of across-frame OHC parallel twins joined by their geared central flywheels, with a four-cylinder block and single head. The idea for the engine was rejected by BSA but adopted by Ariel, becoming their prestige model for the next 20 years.This C1954/5 Airel Square Four was purchased by the vendor some 30+ years ago as to go into his collection. It has been restored very well and is showing little sign of use since completion. In its striking Black and chrome livery and some very special straight-through silencers.

The new model did not introduce any new innovations but was innovative in introducing them as a package. Four-cylinder power-plants, 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 before the CB750 had incorporated all of these features at the same time.This UK supplied CB750 with ‘Dream Machine’ tank, is reported to be in ‘good running order’.

In the 1920/30s their design department included the likes of chief designer Val Page, Edward Turner and Bert Hopwood and it was Page who laid down the basics of Ariel’s four-stroke singles range when he moved the magneto behind the engine in 1927 and established the layout of Ariels singles for the next 30 years. After a typically rocky few years for manufacturers in the early part of the century, in 1932 Jack Sangster bought Ariel from the receivers at a bargain price. The company was renamed Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd, and promptly resumed production in a new factory in Selly Oak Birmingham and one of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner followed by the Ariel Red Hunter.The Model F, first registered in Monmouthshire, was quite an advanced bike in its day sporting twin exhaust pipes ending in fishtail silencers, with a riveted-on badge saying they have the AA’s seal of approval. Bought by the enthusiast owner in 2002 and restored by him, keeping a good degree of originality over the next few years, he has competed in many Banbury Runs since. Not run for a while it will need some recommissioning before use and it comes with a file of receipts and information about the rebuild together with various bits of technical information, old MOTs and tax discs and a current V5C.

With the end of hostilities in 1945, it was among four machines announced to return in August 1945. 1946 saw the girder forks changed for telescopic items and the speedometer moved to the tank.This c.1948/9 BSA C10 was found in a shed in Birmingham where it has resided since 1965.

Registration No: LXS 715 Frame No: 21626 Engine No: 2286 CC: 250 MOT: ExemptRare in the UK Moto Guzzi Airone 250 SportTypical Italian style and race breed technologySupplied with a large paperwork file and a V5CMoto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. One of the founding fathers was Carlo Guzzi who gave his name to the company and was also the chief designer, always innovative they were very successful in Grand Prix racing with products as diverse as the 350cc horizontal single that won five world championships in a row to the incredible 500c V8. The forward facing cylinder with an outside flywheel became Guzzis signature layout until the arrival of the big vee twins in the late 1960s. The Airone isn’t as well known in the UK as its bigger brother, the 500cc Falcone, but in Italy the 250cc single was by far the bigger seller and the model was in production from the late 1930s through to 1957. An expensive bike in its day and rare in the UK, this beautifully presented Airone is the Sport model with a Sport cam, a higher compression piston and a Dellorto SS1 25mm carburettor. Bought by the vendor in 2013 as an unfinished project, the paint, chrome and preparatory mechanical work was already done with the cycle parts and frame repainted or re-chromed, wheels rebuilt and new or refurbished mechanical parts already sourced and purchased ready for the final engine rebuild. In 2018 the engine/gearbox was completely rebuilt using fully refurbished crankcases, a new crank, refurbished gearbox, a new clutch, plus all new bearings, bushes, gaskets and seals together with a full piston, barrel and head restoration. The bike has been fully rewired and with a reconditioned dynamo and magneto fitted. By late 2019 this Airone was finally ready for UK registration and issued with an age-related number. The machine was briefly run and tested after completion and went very well but due to ill health it has not been used since so will need a light recommissioning and then running in. The quality of the paintwork and the chrome/ alloy brightwork is very good and it comes supplied with a large paperwork file of technical information and receipts, some spares together with a current V5C.

It became a legendary model and also one of the most spectacular commercial successes in Vespa's history. The Primavera incorporated and combined a number of unique characteristics that had featured on other Vespa models. With previous sport models in mind like the GS, a small body like the Vespa 50 introduced in 1963 and the racing SS90. The Primavera was a fresh new model that particularly appealed to the younger rider. An elegant quick scooter with extraordinary handling that only one who has ridden one can relate to. The standard Primavera remained in production for 15 years and was only eclipsed in 1976 by the ET3 version, a model characterised by its electronic ignition, three transfer ports on the cylinder, a new elongated silencer taken from the SS90 and an ignition key on the handlebar. All of this translated into even better performance. The ET3 was in production for seven years until it was replaced by the PK range in 1983.This super example was recently restored by the well-respected Retrospective Scooters of London. It is one of the last ET3 Models to be produced in 1982 the last year of production. Our vendor purchased it in 2019 for £6750 (the bill is included in the documents) but rarely uses it so it is up for sale. It has only covered 1645 miles since the restoration. There are many original parts all over the machine as it is still a standard ET3 125 with original Dellorto carburettor albeit with a 12V conversion for better lights and ignition. Our consultant was able to see the scooter working fine and rode the scooter on the road. This most sought-after Vespa model seldom comes onto the market.

More than any other model, it created Kawasaki's reputation for building, what motorcycle journalist Alastair Walker called, "scarily fast, good-looking, no holds barred motorcycles". In 1974 the H2B engine was modified for more civilized performance at the expense of raw power.This 1974 Kawasaki H2B has formed part of a small collection of machines.

The first bike 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. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events, starting a long tradition of achievement that continues today in Moto GP and WSBk racing. The FJ1100 was launched in 1985 as Yamaha's entry into the musclebike sports tourer market and became famed for its durability and solid design. This 1985 model was imported from the USA in 1995 and used in standard trim until bought by the vendor in 2018. He then started a long term project to build a one off cafe racer using many new parts to create an unusual and distinctive special. The frame, swinging arm and wheels have been powder coated with the bodywork refinished in classic Yamaha's Red and White race colours together with a new speedo, tacho and switchgear. The chassis has been treated to a new pair of Avon Roadrider tyres, a front fork rebuild using Progressive springs, a new YSS rear shock, new brake disc, a full rebuild of the calipers and new chain and sprockets. The engine has been serviced and finished off with a bespoke 4 into 2 exhaust system. A labour of love, the vendor has spent a fortune and many hours to build this bike, dry stored over the winter it will need recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with some spare parts, receipts collected during the rebuild, an MOT until 6th July 2024 and a current V5C.*Please Note: The quoted frame number is the one which appears on the Yamaha’s V5C.

It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 Series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV Series 2 models. The TV Series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. The later version had Special type side panels and offered Metallic Blue as a colour in addition to the standard colour range.This very presentable example in our opinion was imported from Italy in 2019 and comes complete with Italian Ministry paperwork confirming the first registration there as the 1st of October 1965. As in keeping with his other scooters our vendor has carefully specialised in collecting very original examples and we note that all of the outer cables, grease-points and cable straps have apparently never been removed. Still standard on 6v points. However, this scooter has a surprise. The leg shields show both badging of a TV Series 3 and an Li Special. As the machine is showing correct numbers for a TV3 it is our supposition that the leg shield was replaced for some reason with a Special leg shield obtained in the same colour which was also available for both models at the time. The leg shields do appear to have been overpainted but MOTs of the other panels do appear as original paint. It is also a battery model and it is unknown whether the battery tray was added at a later date or factory supplied in this way. Apart from these features the scooter is very much a standard TV Series 3 and a very presentable one too in arguably the most desirable colour scheme. The seat is an original Noemi Rosa with original cover and in excellent condition. There is a lot of originality all over the machine and of note the standard 175 engine and many small features all over. The scooter started easily and was running very well at time of consignment.

Superseding the GS160 Mk2 it was initially going to be designated the GS Mk3 as Vespa archives state. It retained the large toolbox on the inside of the leg shield from the GS160 Mk2 and with 10 inch wheels and 4 gears its 181cc motor produced 10hp and gave a top speed of 65mph. It was the last Vespa model with a piston-ported engine. The most noticeable feature is the trapezoidal headlight which it shared with smaller sister models the GL150 and 125. Around 35700 were produced between 1964 and 1968 and today these are highly sought after as fast and elegant and seen as the height of ‘60s modernist style.This genuine Italian SS180 has been restored to a high standard using the original parts and is the second series with no key ignition. Upon close examination it is in extremely good order with no evidence see of having had any major repairs. The floor looks extremely straight and the panels are in good order all over the machine. (To be a perfectionist there has been a repair to the grill on the engine side panel which could be further tidied up). Many of the original parts seen include: The full lights front and back are Siem, with an original Siem headlight rim, the seat appears to be original with possibly a very authentic new cover, The badges appear original with some anodisation to prove their age, original horn and speedometer are present as are the original Zadi keys for the tool box and steering lock which of course works. The toolbox itself has an original Zadi lock mechanism. The whole scooter is finished off in the correct red colour. We were able to see the scooter start easily and run perfectly at the time of consignment. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

An initial diversification into 4-wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war, Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 1960s were second only to Honda in numbers of two-wheelers manufactured. Better known for their two strokes Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution in 1977 with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with the Japanese build quality and performance levels. The 750 was closely followed by a slimmed down 550 version that became the best-selling middleweight in the late 1970s.This GS550 will bring back a lot of motorcyclist memories of their first 'proper' big bike and the model set new standards in 1977 for middleweight performance and handling. Essentially a slimmed down version of the GS750 this bike has been restored to use and comes fitted with a period Marshall 4 into 1 exhaust and recent tyres and is supplied with a current V5C.

The outbreak of World War II delayed the launch and several prototypes were built during the war years, with the model finally launched in September 1946, when hostilities had ended. The very first A7 off the production line was flown to Paris for the first motorcycle show after the end of the war. There was huge demand for affordable transport after the war and the simplicity of the A7 twin was helped along by the slogan 'It's time YOU had a BSA!'.This 1947 BSA A7 is a very early and rare example today, with its rigid rear end. It has been restored by the current owner in 2019 and has been used ever since. The vendor has said it is a joy to ride runs very well, and is in good working order throughout.

Their combined vision and skill laid the foundation for what would become a significant chapter in motorcycle history. In 1911, a dispute culminated in the dissolution of the original company. The aftermath saw Jean Thomann establishing a new company in 1920, distinctively marked by the use of a gorilla in its logo, in contrast to the original Thomann's elephant emblem. The original Thomann company, post-dispute, was sold to Edmond Gentil. Under Gentil's leadership, Thomann continued to flourish and, in 1919, became part of the Alcyon group. This merger was a significant step, as it expanded Thomann's reach and resources, allowing for greater innovation and development.This 1925 Thomann Super Sport was purchased by the vendor as it was something a bit different for his collection of motorcycles in 2018. The history of the machine is not known, but the machine was restored to a good standard and has not been used much since its completion. A rare model today with only a few known to exist, it comes complete with a current V5C. Some recommissioning may be required before use.

In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the various Bonneville, Tiger and Trophy models to be the ultimate version of the classic British vertical twin and the late 1969/1970 pre oil-in-frame models represent the peak of development of Triumph's most iconic model.Like many Triumphs built in the 1960s and early 1970s, this matching numbers Trophy appears to have spent most of its life in the USA before being repatriated in 2013. It has been restored to a good standard with a view to it being ridden with the addition of 12v electrics, indicators and period correct Dunlop K70s. This Trophy has been part of an enthusiast private collection of British classics for a few years, only selling now to make space in his garage for other projects, not run for a while it will need some recommissioning but the engine turns over on the kickstarter and it comes with a current V5C.

The motorcycle was manufactured by Honda in Japan from 1972 to 1974. At the time, the CB350F was the smallest capacity four cylinder motorcycle ever to enter into full-scale production. There were no changes to the 1973 model, but Honda designated the 1974 bike the CB350F1. Soon after production was discontinued, it was replaced by the CB400F. Although Honda had a 350 Twin that critics said was more powerful, lighter, and cheaper, many felt the 350 Four was faster and smoother running.This 1973 Honda CB350F (Four) was purchased by the current vendor in 2018 and it has been used by him ever since.

The engine with magneto ignition, 79 mm bore and 100 mm stroke got a new cylinder and cylinder head. The valves were no longer parallel to the side of the cylinder, but hung in the cylinder head in a "V" shape.

It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 Series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV Series 2 models. The TV series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. The larger-engined TV200 quickly followed the TV175 slim style in early 1963 at the specific request of the British importer Lambretta Concessionaires who wanted an even more powerful model than the TV175 to satisfy their customer base. Genuine TV200 Lambrettas were instantly recognised as the GT200 to differentiate them from the TV175 models. The first versions had Li style panels and the later versions had SX-type panels with polished flashes and were often sold with a coloured top on the panel.This extremely original later example of a genuine GT200 was sold new by Horace Rogers Ltd of Nottingham to our vendor's father on the 10th November 1965. It was used by his father with mother as pillion up until the early 1980s with a now 16116 miles on the clock when they had a spill and it was never ridden again and stored in a dry garage until now. It was however MOT’d and taxed annually until 1988. As far as purity is concerned a GT200 stated as that on the first buff logbook (as opposed to TV200) and with fibreglass mudguard from new and the whole scooter is in such original untouched condition. The paint all over is as it was when sold with Gold highlighted panels with no visible touch-ups that we could see and the running in transfer is still visible inside the leg shields. The exception is the visible dent from the accident on the front and the replacement lower headset repaired at the time. The scooter still has its original ULMA/Nannucci accessory rear rack it was sold with and Ulma rubber carpet which is quite perished now. Under the floor mat the floor is in excellent condition as see in the photographs. There is also an accessory fuel gauge in gallons as sold by Lambretta Concessionaires and an ULMA wheel disc in amongst a large amount of spare parts and genuine tools. Spare cables, plugs and bulbs were in the toolbox showing a well-used and loved scooter while on the road. One side panel has an ingenious device as a lever which looks like a classic car handle but it works and shows that this was a used and loved machine while on the road. Everything else appears to be original. The scooter also comes with a selection of genuine manuals including the first edition of the official Lambretta Workshop manual. There are many parts supplied that were found with the scooter including the original TV200 rear frame badge and disc brake windows. Also, the helmet used back in the day and rider’s gauntlets. No attempt was made to start the scooter. It is a lovely precious item and we expect some serious interest in this scooter.

During its sole year in production only 9669 were produced and it was subject to dozens of modifications in this short time. The 125M was never exported, had a 125cc engine, 3 speed gearbox and foot operated gear change. It has no suspension except a rubber block at the front. It had 7 inch wheels, later changed to 8 inch on the model B. Many of the parts were chrome plated and the overall design was extremely elegant, particularly the deco-style gear shift guide and the sweeping front mudguard. These machines are now very rare and there are very few registered for the road in the UK.Chassis number 7010 (numbering started at 5001). This extremely well-restored example in the correct colour and using the original parts or quality NOS replacements as specified by Casa Lambretta. One must remember that until only recent times new 7 inch tyres of the specification were impossible to find and remade parts were not in production. The scooter was sought out in Italy by avid collector and perfectionist Craig Robinson who acted fast to secure this fine example circa 2013. Our vendor was able to acquire it in 2021.We were able to see the scooter in full working condition at the time of consignment and as one can see from the photographs and accompanying video the condition is exceptional.

Consequently, all motorcycles available to the public in 1917 and 1918 were essentially rebranded versions of the existing 1916 models, while newly manufactured machines were exclusively allocated for military use. Sunbeam motorcycles, powered by a robust 8hp JAP motor, earned a reputation as "heavyweights" designed for towing sidecars, a notable achievement for the time. Serving admirably in military roles during the Great War and later demonstrating their versatility in civilian and commercial settings, this engine remained integral to Sunbeam motorcycles until 1923.This 1917 Sunbeam 8HP was originally produced for the Russian Army but was never used and ended up in civilian use. This particular Sunbeam on offer was found in a coal bunker with parts laid around it. It seems that someone started a restoration years ago before the project stalled. This would make an interesting project for someone to carry on and complete with just a few examples of this model known to exist. Most parts appear to be there, but other parts will need to be gathered to finish the project. All parts that are offered with the machine can be seen in the photographs.

This is the latest project from a line of restorations that include several British and Japanese motorcycles and cars. This original K0 variant had been imported from South Dakota in the USA and required a full restoration. The mileometer had just over 12,000 miles displayed which is believed to be accurate based on the fact that there was very little wear to the engine. The bike was fully stripped down and all parts were examined, restored or replaced. There is a huge library of receipts amounting to thousands of pounds from reputable retailers and Honda specialists.The renovation has been completed to the original US specification, such as retaining the slightly higher (and very comfortable) handlebars so that it remains true to its original specification (the K0 was not originally imported to the UK). After measuring the bores it was confirmed that the engine had not been bored out previously and the bores were in perfect condition. The top end was rebuilt using high quality parts including new pistons and rings and the bottom end was inspected and found to be in good order. The carburettors were stripped, ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt using new jets and needles. The frame and its components were sent away for powder coating, the head stock bearings were replaced and forks refurbished including new seals and stanchions. The electrical system was fully overhauled and the switchgear renovated. A new battery was fitted and an Optimate lead installed to maintain the battery through the winter if the bike isn't being used. The chain and sprockets were replaced with good quality D.I.D components. All the chrome work was re-chromed at Howells of Walsall which is a business held in high regard within the classic vehicle restoration world. The wheels were refurbished with new rims and spokes and new tyres and tubes in the original sizes. The wheel bearings were replaced and brakes fully overhauled with the rear brake drum skimmed due to slight ovality.Most importantly, the vendor managed to acquire a full set of new old stock Honda HM323 exhausts at great expense which were still in the original boxes plus a new old stock petrol tank and side panels from a friend who had them in storage for a number of years. A local bodywork specialist who works for a number of British Superbike teams painted the tank and side panels in the original colour which looks beautiful especially when the sun is shining. The bike runs beautifully and has completed roughly 200 miles since restoration and is now ready to be enjoyed throughout the Summer. The vendor is planning to ride the bike to the auction venue and it comes supplied with numerous receipts and a current V5C.

In 1991 the model was given a facelift including the adoption of a five-speed gearbox and belt final drive.This one owner from new Sportster, being offered at no reserve, was bought by the vendor from Warrs Harley Davidson, Europe's oldest Harley dealer, in April 1991. Still wearing its original paint and chrome, the bike is Stage 1 tuned and comes supplied with 2 sets of original exhaust, original air filter parts and dual seat. Included in the sale is an extensive paperwork file including the original bill of sale, some contemporary catalogues, accessory brochures, many old MOTs and tax disc and a current V5C. Please note, this bike has recently been returned to the UK from the vendor's home in Portugal. The battery had to be removed to allow for transport so a new one will be needed before use.

In a remarkable recovery effort, production resumed at an old foundry works in Warwick, which commenced the manufacturing of motorcycles in June 1941. Tailored explicitly for military use, the 3HW drew its lineage from the pre-war 3H model. Noteworthy changes included a rocker box integrated with the head, a departure from the pre-war machines that featured separate rocker boxes. Approximately 40,000 units of the 3HW were manufactured to support wartime endeavours. These motorcycles played a vital role in various campaigns, with notable deployments in North Africa, India, and Greece. Impressively versatile, the 3HW became an integral asset to the Greek Army, remaining in service until 1952, underscoring its enduring reliability and strategic significance in military operations.This Triumph 3HW has been restored to a good standard to full army specification. Great attention to detail has been applied by the restorer of this machine. It has been in short-term storage in the house and was running very well before then. The current vendor obtained an appropriate British Army uniform that accompanies, as seen in the pictures. It comes complete with a dating letter from the late Mike Worthington Williams, a current V5C and receipts for parts.

Registration No: K571 BDB Frame No: VSR1T3025959 Engine No: VSR1M30280 CC: 200 MOT: ExemptLow mileage only 3,857 miles believed genuine The Cosa is the theme model of The Vespa Club of Britain for 2024Seldom seen for saleExtremely originalV5C for use on UK roadsThe Vespa P range was launched in 1977 in Milan as the nuova linea model (new line). A hugely successful model for Piaggio for almost 40 years but the end of the line was near and when the last stock was sold and no more 2 stroke PX models were to be produced. Production of the P range ended completely in early 2017 as the engine would fail to meet Euro 4 compliance emission requirements. During the production run there were several variations on the theme and one of them the COSA embraced the late 1980s style of the day and included some interesting technical variations. The first version COSAs were introduced in 1988 with a modified clutch that was easier to use than the P200. It had a modified tail light and a seat lock located on the side of the wider saddle. It had a more powerful engine than the P range and new instrumentation including a rev counter. It had a more streamlined shape than the P range and small improvements included the recessed indicators. The main safety difference was hydraulic brakes distributed through both wheels by an hydraulic circuit and a pressure regulator. The COSA 2 launched in 1992 uprated the brakes even further with an EBD device to prevent the brakes locking. The saddle had 2 offset levels with the pillion sitting higher.This Cosa Series 2 was purchased by our vendor in 1995 from a neighbour in almost new condition with only 3,843 miles on the speedometer. He never used. It was put into a barn and forgotten until now. The MOT from 1993 and the current mileage confirm in our opinion the low mileage as correct. It is showing signs of having stood for some time but is rust-free showing some scratches from being moved. No attempt was made to start the scooter at the time of consignment. Interestingly the Cosa is the model of the year for 2024 of The Vespa Club of Britain and the one used on the 2024 badges is the same colour as this example!

It is the first Japanese motorcycle with a liquid-cooled engine. The prototype Suzuki GT750 was shown at the 17th Tokyo Motor Show in October 1970 and launched in Japan in September 1971 as a sports tourer and was developed from the Suzuki T500 with an extra cylinder and liquid cooling. Marketed as the Le Mans in the US and Canada, it was nicknamed the "Kettle" in Britain, the "Water Bottle" in Australia, and the "Water Buffalo" in the United States. The first model year (1972), the GT750J, had a double-sided, twin-leading shoe, 200mm drum front brake with 180mm drum rear. The Exhaust Coupler Tube System (ECTS) that connected the left- and right-side exhausts together was designed to boost low-end torque. Carburettors were 32mm Mikuni slide type and the power output was 67bhp at 6,500This 1972 Suzuki GT750 J model is in mostly original condition for its age. A US import machine that has been ‘gone-through’, it is described by the vendor as being ‘in good running order’. The Suzuki has its original exhaust system and is in good condition. It benefits from a current V5C and NOVA paperwork. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

All of the motorcycles used Villiers engines and were in production from 1947 to 1964. When Kaye Don retired, all manufacturing was sold to Smokey Dawson of DMW Motorcycles in Birmingham.Missing its horns, one knee grip, rear chain guard lower section and handlebar cover, this is otherwise a nice example of the model from that year. The Ambassador Three Star Specials produced between 1959 and 1962 all featured slight variances, but this one is correct for 1961. Purchased by the vendor as a restored example for his collection. It is not known when the vendor purchased the Ambassador for the collection but has not been used since the purchase. Sadly, there is no documentation with this lot. Some recommissioning may be required before use. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

However, due to riders' disdain for this colour scheme, many of these 'Tangerine Dream' models remained unsold and were rebranded as 1960 models by dealerships. Triumph responded by introducing a Royal Blue option before the model year concluded, which proved more popular. Remarkably, the once-disliked 1959 T120 Bonnevilles in Tangerine Orange have now become highly sought-after collectibles.This 1959 Triumph Bonneville T120 ‘Tangerine Dream’ was manufactured on the 25th of September 1959. The records do not show where it was despatched. It was restored around ten years ago to a good standard and has not been used much since its completion. The current vendor purchased the T120 about four years ago with the intent of riding it, but sadly due to his age, he never got around to it. It has not run since his ownership and will need some recommissioning before placing it back on the road. It is offered with its current V5C, documentation from DVLA and a Dating Certificate from Richard Wheedon. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

It is a development of the original XT series ('X' stands for 4 strokes, 'T' for TRAIL), a line of motorcycles inspired by those used on the Paris-Dakar rally. The first XT was released in 1976. The XT660R is the standard Enduro model ('R' stands for racing). The XT660X, was a more street-oriented supermoto version, and the XT660Z Ténéré, an adventure touring version.

The 998R and non-US 998S models had different crankcases with a deep oil sump. The standard 998 had crankcases which were very similar to the previous Desmoquattro. The non-US 998S as well as the 998R had revised cam profiles which provided more power than the standard 998.This 2002 Ducati 998S was purchased by the current vendor in 2020 as a restoration project but then decided to do a full rebuild, and most of the work was carried out by Louigi Moto in Bristol. What needed to be done was done, the engine and gearbox were stripped and rebuilt to Ducati's specifications, and the vendor knows the owner Rich Llewellin very well, so extra details were done. It benefits from Ohlins forks rear shocks, Marchini Mas wheels, and Termi exhaust. The machine will need to be run-in by its new owner. Rich Llewellin from Louigi Moto can back up the work carried out. It comes complete with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

New Imperial made innovative motorcycles that employed unit construction and sprung heel frames long before they became commonplace, and were moderately successful in competition. The 1920s were a financially successful decade, enabling the innovations of the 1930s that fought decline. New Imperial suffered financially from the sales-destroying Great Depression of the 1930s, and then the founder died in 1938. New Imperial was sold, and sold again, and then ended production in late 1939, its former facilities subsequently serving the needs of a nation at war.This little New Imperial Model 23 was believed to have been restored in the 1990s. Very little is known of its history but was purchased some 20+ years ago by the vendor for his collection. The registration number shown does not belong to this machine.
