Annie Boisseau RBA (British, b.1967). Acrylic on board with mount. I see my work as a contemporary interpretation of the tradition of Romantic Landscape painting. It is inspired by an emotional response to the natural world, investigating the often transient qualities of time, space, memories or emotions with expressive semi-abstract painting. My painting process evolves through transforming and abstracting the subject. Layers of transparent paint are applied to the surface to create an atmospheric quality that suggest an unveiling or discovery of the poetic mystery of the landscape. The starting point of my work comes from direct observation of the landscape through walks in the familiar countryside of Surrey and along the coastal paths of Sussex. My working practice begins with drawing outside, using a range of media including, pastels, watercolours, charcoal or pencil to record the colours, rhythms and textures of the landscape. I also find it important to capture the quality of light that is particular to the location, as this later helps to establish the mood of the painting. I then work in the studio using either oils or acrylics or both, as the subject dictates, on panel or canvas supports. I pay particular attention to the preparation of these surfaces, by applying gesso and rubbing it down until I am happy with the result. I build up layers of paint, using either a palette knife or brush to create textures. The imagery is a mixture of both memory and reality, allowing the painting to follow its own path and the viewer to connect with their own experiences. www.annieboisseau.com.

Vanessa Gardiner (British b.1960). '7 of Clubs / Vertical Coast '. Acrylic on paper. Signed titled and dated 2020 verso. Image size 16 x10cm.As a landscape painter I am captivated both by the beauty of the places on which my work is based and by the processes involved during the making of the pictures. In a sense, for me, they go hand-in-hand: the immediacy of drawing directly from the seemingly haphazard natural subject matter, with the careful selection and ordering of the compositions back in the studio. Concentrating on the coastlines around Cornwall, Ireland and more recently the Isle of Skye, I am aware of the connecting elements found within these landscapes; each are shaped and weathered in common by the Atlantic Ocean and all are strongly characterised by their individual and compelling features of grand coastal scenery. Drawing is an essential part of my work. I like to get to know a place well before beginning to paint from it and I start by making a number of drawings directly from the subject. Some of these may be close, observational drawings made over a period of time or quicker notes purely to glean some specific information which I will use back in the studio. In this way I am able to elucidate new elements to use in my paintings, paring down the compositions in order to capture the essence of each of these singular coastal places. I work on plywood or hardboard as they are rigid and robust and give me the freedom to change the composition of a painting easily if necessary by cutting them down; the picture is then not restricted to a prescribed format. During the painting process, I often redraw the image, scouring and sanding back the paint until the surface becomes significantly changed and enlivened. The board responds well to my technique and takes on a beautiful patina, leaving traces and histories of paint in its grain and revealing qualities of its own.It is this physical process, together with the rational ordering of the image in my mind which enthrals me - the linearity of the graphite with the rubbed paint surfaces and the unexpected results which may then occur. www.vanessagardiner.co.uk.

Nana Shiomi RE (Japanese / British, b.1956). 'Two of Diamonds / Girls are Diamonds - Dedicated to the all Runaway Girls'. Limited edition woodcut print. Signed, titled and numbered 13/30. Image size 82 x 58cm. Folded and rolled. I started painting in oils at the age of fourteen, and soon developed an interest in contemporary art when I attended a seminar on Marcel Duchamp at Tama Art University, Tokyo. The concepts of Duchamp's work such as- art can be multiple, art can be ready-made, art and language and art as performance, seemed to me to be the very essence of contemporary art. I was profoundly attracted to pop artists such as Andy Warhol and Jasper Jones. And at the age of 20, I grew interested in the concept of hanga (prints). A prerequisite of prints is the fact that plate and print are always opposite configurations. I soon encountered dualistic principles everywhere, such as- right and left, top and bottom, East and West, man and woman and so on. It is no mere coincidence that since then most of my work is composed of two opposing sides, right and left. I also instinctively chose to work in water-based woodcuts. The fact that I chose the traditional woodcut technique- using the baren to spread the water-based ink and let it soak into the Japanese paper- as the means with which to communicate my intent was an integral element in determining my style. www.nanashiomi.com.

Peggy Cozzi (British). '9 of Clubs / Oxalis'. Water mixable oil paint on sized Bockingford 300gsm paper. Titled, signed and dated 2020 verso. 41 x 31cm. Peggy Cozzi is an abstract painter based in Dorset. She studied Fine Art painting at Portsmouth Polytechnic and completed a Fine Art MA at the Arts University Bournemouth in 2014. She has undertaken solo and collaborative exhibitions, residencies and curatorial projects in the UK. Her work is held in private and corporate collections in Europe, USA, Australia and Asia.Statement: My work focuses on process and media and an interplay between gesture and colour. I am interested in how the medium of paint can evoke imaginative responses and psychological states; images grow out of the process and my interaction with the materials, I follow a journey with the painting to a point where colour and mark begin to trigger emotive associations, where the paint appears at once tactile and concrete yet simultaneously having the potential for illusion and the capacity to draw on the unconscious.

Deborah Westmancoat RWA (British, b.1968). '2 of Hearts'. Ink, enamel and snowmelt collected on the Quantock Hills, Somerset. Signed and dated 2020 verso. 26.5 x 17cm. Deborah Westmancoat is a contemporary painter based in Somerset, UK. She has spent the last decade engaged in a long-term project looking at stages of transformation in classical alchemy in relation to the presence and movement of water found within the natural and built environment. Alongside runs a parallel line of research questioning our subtle relationships to ‘place’ and ‘territory’. Every painting starts with the ritual act of collecting jars of water (standing, flowing, or weather) and allowing that water to flow, shape, influence and develop the processes and outcomes of making. Westmancoat exhibits frequently throughout the UK and internationally and was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2014, becoming an RWA Academician in 2019. During 2018 she represented the UK at Manifesta 12 Bienniale, Palermo, Sicily, as part of the international Ingruttati Palermo group of architects, artists and urban researchers investigating the ancient underground ‘qanat’ waterways found beneath the old city. www.westmancoat.com.

Sean Jefferson (British, b.1957). '3 of Hearts'. Graphite and coloured crayon on paper. Image size: 28.4 x 25.3cm. Sheet size: 42.3 x 28.7cm. Signed and dated. The 3 of Hearts: This card is similar to the 3 of Cups in the Tarot. Cups are the archetypal feminine suit. This image celebrates the triple goddess of the ancient luna belief systems - three phases of a woman personified (virgin, mother, wise woman). In this representation there is no reference to age, more as in the esoteric Christian symbolism of the 3 Marys. My work is grounded in accurate delineation of animals and plants, having studied Zoology and Botany at Imperial College as part of my degree in Microbiology, combined with automatic drawing, learnt as a teenager under the instruction of a renowned spiritualist medium. I have been influenced by Surrealism, the surrealistic precision period. Fin de Siecle Symbolism and the occult philosophy behind it. Ruralism, having spent time and exhibiting with the Ruralists whilst living in Cornwall. The Victorian 'proto surrealism' of Richard Dadd, John Anster Fitzgerald and Lewis Carol, and more generally by William Blake and the Ancients, I currently live and work in Samuel Palmer's 'Golden Valley' (The Darenth Valley, Kent). Early in my career I had one person solo exhibitions in London (Mill Lane Gallery, Talisman Fine Art), Moscow (A3 Gallery), Amsterdam (Jester Gallery). I have exhibited as a 'Friend of the Ruralists', The South West Academy and the R.A Summer Show. More recently I have been exhibiting at the BADA, Olympia and LAPADA Art and Antiques Fairs, with Clerkenwell Fine Art and latterly with Kaye Michie Fine Art. In December of this year I am to have my first solo exhibition in over fifteen years with David Messum at his Gallery in Bury Street, St James's London.

Sir Frank Bowling OBE RA (British, b.1934). 'Ace of Spades'. Acrylic / collage on Paper, signed and dated verso. 30 x 21.7cm. Frank Bowling has been hailed as one of the finest British artists of his generation. Born in British Guiana in 1934, Bowling arrived in London in 1953, graduating from the Royal College of Art with the silver medal for painting in 1962. By the early 1960s, he was recognised as an original force in London’s art scene with a style combining figurative, symbolic and abstract elements.After moving to New York in 1966, Bowling’s commitment to modernism meant he was increasingly focused on material, process and colour, so that by 1971 he had abandoned the use of figurative imagery. Bowling’s iconic ‘Map Paintings’ (1967-71), which include the stencilled landmasses of South America, Africa and Australia, embody his transition from figuration to pure abstraction. As a contributing editor at Arts Magazine (1969-1972), Bowling rejected the idea that ‘artists who happen to be black’ should be making overtly political or protest art and defended those engaged in abstraction. His critical writings represent a significant contribution to intellectual debates on ‘black art’. In 1969, Bowling organised, curated, and wrote the catalogue essay for the notable exhibition, 5+1, at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, and Princeton University, which showcased the work of five African American abstract artists as well as his own recent paintings. Bowling exhibited six large ‘Map Paintings’ in a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1971. From 1973 to 1978, Bowling experimented with ideas of chance and ‘controlled accidents’, pouring paint from a two-metre height to create his visually arresting ‘Poured Paintings’.Bowling returned to London in 1975 but continued to spend significant periods in New York. His sculptural paintings of the 1980s include embedded objects and thickly textured canvases, and have been described as evoking landscape, riverbeds and geologic strata. Visible in his work, are legacies of both the English landscape tradition and American abstraction. Bowling shares Turner and Constable’s preoccupation with light, never more evident than in his dazzling ‘Great Thames’ paintings of the late 1980s. Bowling’s experiments with ammonia, gel, metallic and pearlescent paint create incandescent reactions on the canvas. His recent work encompasses collage, poured paint, stencilling, staining, and stitching canvases, bringing together techniques honed over a lifetime of painting.Bowling became a Royal Academician in 2005 and was awarded the OBE for services to Art in 2008. His work is represented in fifty collections worldwide and has been exhibited in 160 group and 100 solo exhibitions, including the 2017-19 touring exhibition, Mappa Mundi, and the hugely successful retrospective at Tate Britain in 2019. Bowling is the subject of a BBC documentary, Frank Bowling's Abstract World, which coincided with the opening of the Tate Retrospective. At the age of 86, Bowling works every day in his South London studio, accompanied by his wife, Rachel, other family members and friends, forever driven by his fascination with pushing the vast and radiant possibilities of paint.Transplant Links Community is a UK registered non-religious and non-political charity that saves the lives of children and adults in the developing world who suffer from life-threatening end stage kidney disease.

George Underwood (British, b.1947). 'King of Clubs', oil on canvas. Signed and dated 2020, painting size 88 x 63cm. Framed. George Underwood was born in 1947. George joined Beckenham Art School in 1963.At art school George Underwood became more and more interested in music. As a result he pursued a career in the music world. Along with life long friend David Bowie he made one record (The King Bees ) and also a solo record under the name Calvin James.After deciding that the music business was not for him, George returned to art studies and then worked in design studios as an illustrator. Initially he specialised in fantasy, horror and science fiction book covers.Many of George Underwood's colleagues in the music business asked him to do various art works for them. This led to George becoming a freelance artist. Art work for the first T Rex album and later David Bowie’s Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust album covers established him as a leading and creative art illustrator. Over this period George produced literally hundreds of book covers, LP and CD covers, advertisements, portraits and drawings.At the start of the 1970’s George Underwood started painting in oils. His paintingswere influenced at first by the Viennese School of Fantastic Realism –artists which includedErnst Fuchs, Rudolph Hausner and Eric Brauer. George regarded them as contemporary visionaries like Bruegel and Bosch. He was fascinated by their imaginative visions.Imagination is the key word in George's paintings. He rarely uses live models nowadays, prefering to invent people who inhabit their own personal world.George Underwood paintings are held in many private art collections. One of his art collectors, David Bowie, said: ‘George has, over the years, refined his work to the point where I would put him among the top figurative painters coming out of the UK right now. There’s a sublime isolation surrounding his subjects that really touches the viewer, the figures being both heroic and vulnerable simultaneously. There’s a timeless element in the choice of subject matter that overlaps with the mythical world of Odd Nerdrum, say. Now that a huge shift to painting is taking place, I would expect to see George’s name pushed further and further to the front’. www.georgeunderwood.com.

Jaki Foster (British). 'Joker'. Gouache on paper. Signed and dated verso, 30 x 21cm. Jaci is an artist and maker who uses different media to create works that tell stories. She has spent more than 30 years practicing, teaching and exhibiting, and completed an MA in Fine Art in 2013.Jaci rarely works in 2D, but this gouache painting demonstrates threads which run throughout her work, particularly the absence of colour (her stained glass being an exception to this rule!) This work is an exploration of positive and negative spaces. Whilst the black and white faces obviously illustrate a particularly current debate, the figures shown are actually two halves of a whole – the dichotomy of a single person – perhaps more the Fool from the Tarot, than a standard Joker. As such, this ambiguous figure is designed to be someone with whom the viewer can identify.Jaci’s work is always research led. Whilst these areas of exploration may seem many and varied, fundamentally she explores the human psyche and how it is that we create and project our own identities into a very confused world. www.jacifoster.co.uk.

Chris Gilvan-Cartwright (British). 'Jack of Spades'. Acrylic on cardboard. Signed, titled and dated verso. 44.5 x 34cm. A graduate from Central Saint Martins (BaHons first class), Academy Fine Art Cracow Poland ( Painting under Prof. Nowosielski) and University of Brighton (MA Fine Art). Winner of the Royal Overseas league Travel scholarship where he painted in India and Nepal. On his return he was commissioned to design the BBC Proms logos for two seasons. He has exhibited widely and performed at the Towner Museum of Contemporary Art and Jerwood Gallery Hastings. He is currently on the Turps Studio Painting programme at Turps Banana, London. For me painting operates as a hermetic portal between an instinctive inner and outer reality as if operating as a pineal body. The act of making a painting is important, one decision leads to another as the work becomes realised by applying paint directly wet into wet. I draw out the subject using whats at hand, brushes, charcoal, rags and fingers twisting and turning the paintings until images reveal a cliff edge or a space containing bathos and absurdity something both divine and decrepit. I invent painted narratives involving corporeal figures occupying preternatural landscapes and stage sets. They are falling or about to fall apart often in a state of transformation, reverie or catatonic breakdown referencing holy men or hermits drawn from northern european medieval painting.I have also performed as The Baron Gilvan. ‘A dispossessed Mitteleuropa aristocrat, landed up on the shores of Blighty clutching only his paintings and his hopes, The Baron is concerned with only the intensity of life itself, and the beauty of the ideal. He is raw, unflinching, and utterly sincere, a compact of all that is magnificent’.The Baron was originally conceived as a conduit for my own creativity, a governor of all of my works, the character through which it all must flow.www.thebarongilvan.com.

Robert Fitzmaurice (British, b.1960). 'Joker (et in Arcadia Ego)'. Acrylic on aluminium, unsigned with artists label verso. 28.2 x 12.1cm. My art involves figuration and abstraction to question ideas of power, gender roles & identity. The figures I create comply with pictorial rather than anatomical truth and represent archetypes rather than individual characters. The frontality of the figure and the shallow theatrical space in which it operates reflect my interest in the expressive shorthand that is found in votive art of all cultures. These factors contribute to a highly personalised pictorial language that despite being tethered to past traditions serves to destabilise meaning. Only the art of the past could use the human figure to personify a concept that was singular and undisputed. Today the relationships between a motif, meaning and its audience are in constant flux. By working with the formal potency of these compromised systems I arrive at visual statements where meaning is deferred to the viewer. This tension, between certainty and flux, provides me with a conceptual framework to process contemporary issues and site specific, socio-political histories. The exhibitions ‘Soldier’ (2018) and ‘No Eden’ (2019) both considered histories of conflict. ‘No Eden’ was held at the former USAF base at Greenham Common Control Tower and my research into the peace camps of the 1980s exposed me to the gendered power dynamics of militarism and feminism. These bodies of work considered ideas of the hero, the warrior, the childish man, and of the boy as both victim and perpetrator, as exemplified by ‘Little Boy’ the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Since then I have continued to make work that presents the male child as a problematic agent, suggesting innocence and hope for the future but also the potential for aggression. Alongside this body of work I am developing a new series of monochrome paintings where repeating figures are placed on a grid a specific number of times. The significance of this number is derived from the subject contained in the title. After adjusting the tone and contour of each these elements a larger figure, related to the smaller versions, take shape. These works embrace broader themes of identity, individualism and community. They also reflect my growing interest in contemporary discourse around the indexicality of painting and concepts of difference and repetition. www.fitzmaurice.works.

I graduated in Illustration from Falmouth University in 2015 and am now based in the Forest of Dean. My work is strongly inspired by the wildlife and heritage at my doorstep, often exploring themes of nature, pattern and tradition. I work with a range of media - notably paper cutting and print - to create detailed designs which are highly decorative. In recent yearts my illustrations have been published by Yale University Press and Amelia's Magazine, and I have taken part in a number of exhibitions.The initial inspiration behind the 5 of Diamonds piece was the famous diamond-patterned scales of the elusive adder, which lent themselves well to the card that I was dealt. The design and autumnal colour palette were then further influenced by my research into this beautiful creature and its habitat. www.hazelpartridge.co.uk.

Lizzie Riches (British, b.1950). 'Queen of Spades'. Oil on canvas, signed. 40 x 30cm. I was born in East London and grew up on the edge of Epping Forest which is where I first began to love natural history. I was a poor student at Art School, in fatc, it was probably the only period in my life when I didn't paint! I wasted that opportunity but I think I new that I had no interest in fitting in to anyone else's idea of what art should be. I had the great good fortune to join the Portal Gallery in the mid 1970s when they were still in Grafton Street London. Proponents of Naive and Outsider Art in those days, that unique institution enabled me to make a living as an artist. The gallery's style and taste changed over the years and although now online and at art fairs, the ethos of idiosynchratic painting continues.

John Hainsworth (British). '8 of Spades', oil on board, signed and dated front and back. 21 x 15cm. John Hainsworht is a contemporary painter based in East Sussex, exploring and documenting the demise of a fictitious world. This demise comes in the form of presenting the viewer with a surreal and extreme narrative on the current global strain placed on finite resources. It is this strain that allows Hainsworth to create work focused on the notion of our transition into a new human induced geological epoch called the Anthropocene. Through the medium of painting Hainsworth creates a narrative that commentates and documents the increasingly complex control and use of resources. Imagery is focused on landscapes of ecological importance and scenes based on his personal experiences from growing up in and around the Teutoburger Wald in North-West Germany.

Joe Coleman 'Rear of Card - Deck of Cards Vol II'. Oil on board. Signed and titled verso. 59.5 x 42cm. "Joe Coleman is a traditional sign writer based in the southwest. Originally from Weymouth, Joe studied graphic design at Bristol UWE and now works from his studio in Cornwall. Joe says, “I worked as a Junior Designer for a number of years before I even knew sign writing was a job!”. Since 2015 when Joe first picked up a brush and maul stick he has not stopped, running his own company ‘Coleman Sign and Design’ and building an impressive portfolio of works for a variety of clients all over the UK. Joe says, ""I was honoured to be asked by Aimee at TLC to design the reverse design and packaging for the Deck of Cards Vol.II. I wanted to create a design that was bright and uplifting with a modern feel, but I was also keen to stick to traditional methods and use a handpainted approach. The design I have produced pays homage to classic signwriting styles through use of drop and cast shadowing but with a colour scheme that is more influenced by the beautiful fabrics and patterning of the countries that TLC support. The exchange of various serifs within the typography is a subtle nod to the amazing work that TLC do and is a representative of a community based on giving and sharing of vital elements.”Website: www.instagram.com/coleman_signanddesignTransplant Links Community is a UK registered non-religious and non-political charity that saves the lives of children and adults in the developing world who suffer from life-threatening end stage kidney disease.

Aimee Jewitt-Harris (British). '10 of Clubs / Weird Women'. Pencil on paper. Signed, sheet size 59 x 42cm. Aimee Jewitt-Harris aims to intrigue and unnerve with her work. She combines intricate drawing techniques with her collage practice to produce seemingly beautiful pieces which, upon closer inspection, reveal a more uncanny and unsettling image. Aimee creates characters from collage materials: her army of ‘Weird Women’, and conjures dark dystopian worlds for them to inhabit. Inspired recently by the Faceless Men featured in The Game of Thrones, Aimee often substitutes her Weird Women’s faces with organisms found in the natural world, removing the viewers ability to make eye contact with her characters and removing the ability to guess the characters intentions. The Weird Women are strong, curious, threatening, misunderstood, silent, sexy, ruthless and weird. Sometimes I like to remove their pretty faces and replace them with things that make you go ‘yuck’. What are they Can they speak What species are they What do they want I want the viewer to feel threatened but fascinated when they meet The Weird Women.As well as being an artist, Aimee project manages the Charity Transplant Links with her mother Jennie Jewitt-Harris. She is the founder of the TLC Deck of Cards Art Auction which first launched in 2018.“I was blown away by the generosity and creativity of all the artists for the Deck of Cards Vol. I in 2018.

Alan Cotton (British). '6 of Diamonds / Welcome to the 6 Diamonds Inn'. Ink drawing on paper. Alan Cotton is one of Britain's most distinctive Landscape Painters. He has been represented internationally by Messum's Fine Art in Cork Street London for the past twenty years, where his annual exhibitions have frequently sold out.Alan writes, As a child and a young man I was deeply affected by those paintings I saw, where images were conveyed with a sensuous use of paint and the physical surface of the work had the power to excite. As a student and when I first painted on my own I began to experiment by using pigment in quantity, and to explore it’s potential for making a huge variety of textures and marks and allowing me to convey my feelings about landscape. It was then that I took to using painting knives.Alan has painted in many countries. His distinctive paintings are laid on to canvas with painting knives and working with rich impasto pigments, he takes us from the searing yellows and crimsons of the Mediterranean to the cool greens and blues of Ireland and from the sun bleached square in Marrakech at midday to the shimmering reflections of the old Fish Market in Venice. Each painting is distinctively a 'Cotton' yet the variation and contrast gives each one its own identity, what he calls A Sense of Place.Writing about his work the Artist says the painting process is always a voyage of discovery. With each new work you should be thrilled with the prospect of actually applying the paint and discovering where you are going, not only with the combination of colours and range of marks, but with the tapestry of the surface which allows you to convey the idea which inspired you and set you off on the path.In 2006 Alan was awarded an Honorary Doctorate (D.Litt) by the University of Exeter for his 'outstanding contribution to the Arts' and in 2011 the Senate of the University of Bath conferred on Alan the position of Honorary Professor of Arts. In 2019 the University made him an Honorary Doctor of Arts, conferred on him by the Chancellor, HRH The Earl of Wessex.www.alancotton.co.uk.

c.1960 BSA C15 cutaway Frame no. C15.21336/5Engine no. None visiblePresented without documents, this highly detailed cutaway version of BSA's best selling four-stroke model of the 1960s is purported to be a BSA factory engineers model. The VMCC kindly confirm that frame number C15 21336 was dispatched on the 9th November 1960 to the Earls Court Motor Show and is listed as a cutaway model. The vendor knew it 30 years ago, when he was asked to mend the silencer so that it could be used on another machine; when he was offered the same machine recently, part of his limited restoration work was to open the same silencer up again and have it rechromed to match the rest of the bike. It uses frame number C15.21336/5 but there is no engine number. It was not uncommon for such exhibition pieces to be built from parts not offered to the production line because of minor faults. The motorcycle has been inspected by noted restorer Graham Horne, who worked at BSA's Small Heath factory, and he considers it could be a factory production because of the standard of the work. It could fill a number of roles, either as an attraction in a store or museum, to attract visitors at any show or to be as subject material in lectures on the history of what was once the largest motorcycle factory in the UK.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ◊◊◊◊◊◊ Requires specialist shipping and storage at the buyer's expenseFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1984 Triumph 744cc Trident T150V 'Rob North' ReplicaRegistration no. KHB 240P (see text)Frame no. ME00117Engine no. T150V NK45136Inspired by the BSA-Triumph works racers of the early 1970s, this superb road-legal special was built by expert restorer Eric Parr (hence the E.D.P. initials) in 1983-1984 and won the 'Classic Bike of the Year' award at the 1984 International Classic Bike Show. It later featured in Classic Bike magazine (December 1984 issue), appearing on the front cover (copy available). The frame is the legendary Rob North type used by the factory's all-conquering triples in 1971; it was obtained new from Miles Engineering, who made nearly 500 such frames. A box-section swinging arm allows a wide rear tyre to be fitted, while twin 10' front discs provide powerful braking. The engine is from a late five-speed Trident T150V. Other noteworthy features include a 3-into-1 exhaust with megaphone silencer; Akront alloy wheel rims; and a works replica 'letterbox' fairing complete with oil cooler. Twin headlamps are fitted in the style of a 1970s endurance racer, and the rear lamp is neatly incorporated into the seat which, like the aluminium oil tank, replicates factory short-circuit items. The stickers all relate to products actually used. With 120mph-plus performance available, the addition of rear-view mirrors is understandable. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. There is no registration document with this Lot.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1928 Sunbeam 493cc T.T. Model 90 Racing MotorcycleFrame no. E1134Engine no. L1211•Believed to incorporate a works frame•Formerly part of the Anthony Blight Collection•Restored by the National Motorcycle MuseumIn 1928 Sunbeam produced what was arguably their finest ever racer: the 'Bullnose 90', so called on account of its fuel tank's round¬ed nose. Four machines were taken to the Isle of Man that year for the Senior TT race with an international team of riders: Francesco Franconi (Swiss), Luigi Arcangeli (Italian), Arthur 'Digger' Simcock (Australian) and Charlie Dodson (English). The race was run in atrociously wet weather, which suited Dodson, who was well known for his remarkable ability in such conditions. Nevertheless, he crashed at Kepple Gate while leading the race, allowing Rudge-mounted Graham Walker to take the lead. Dodson remounted and continued, only to be brought down a second time by the loose rear stand. Back in the saddle once more, he eventually passed the Rudge ahead of him, which failed 10 miles from the finish. Franconi finished 7th and Arcangeli 15th, which was good enough to secure Sunbeam the Team Prize. 1928 was the last time that a flat-tank motorcycle won the Senior TT. This particular Model 90 was purchased by Ivan Rhodes in 1998 on behalf of the National Motorcycle Museum and is believed to incorporate a works frame. Reputedly the machine had been used extensively by one G D Dunlop for sand and path racing. It was then acquired by Iliffe & Sons, publishers of The Motor Cycle, and formed the basis of instruction and advice on machine overhaul written by the editor at the time, the late Arthur Bourne. Subsequently the machine belonged to the well-known Sunbeam enthusiast, the late Anthony Blight, and before that it had been owned by the famous Scottish tuner/entrant, Joe Potts - best remembered as Bob McIntyre's sponsor in the 1950s and '60s. The Sunbeam has been restored by the Museum, as commemorated on the attached silver plaque. It should be noted that the engine is not original to the frame and that the crankcases are from a single-port Model 9. Accompanying documentation includes the 1998 purchase receipt and correspondence; a continuation logbook in Joe Potts' name (1970); and a V5C Registration Certificate. It should be noted that the V5C still records the number of the previous engine ('N2092'). The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection c.1933 Vincent-HRD 499cc Model PRegistration no. not UK registeredFrame no. D705Engine no. 9005•Rare Rudge Python-engined Vincent-HRD•Initially assembled from parts circa 1973•Cosmetically restored by Ian Savage and the National Motorcycle Museum•Non-runner for display purposes onlyThe Vincent-HRD marque originated in 1928 when Philip C Vincent acquired the name, jigs, tools and patterns of the recently liquidated HRD Company. ('HRD' stood for Howard Raymond Davies, the Isle of Man TT winner who had founded the firm in 1924). Like Davies before him, Vincent relied on proprietary engines until increasing dissatisfaction with suppliers led to the creation of Vincent's own in 1934. One of the firm's suppliers was Rudge, whose proprietary engines were sold under the 'Python' brand name. According to document on file, written by the VOC's Ian Savage, its restorer, this Python-engined Vincent-HRD was built from parts by the late George Maple of Douglas, Isle of Man circa 1973 using a Vincent-HRD rear frame and swinging arm bearing bracket set from a Model P with frame number 'D705', dating from 1933. The other major components are a Series-A frame with no visible number; Series-B Brampton forks; and a Burman gearbox from a JAP-engined Vincent Model J of similar period. The engine, number '9005', appears to be a mixture of Rudge parts from the Ulster and Special models dating from 1933/34. The period 1933-1934 marked a transition in the specification of Vincent-HRD machines. From single brakes to twin brakes; to rod operated rear brakes; Terry to Dunlop saddles, etc. As the rear frame is of the earlier (cable-operated) pattern, the machine has been built to this period. The rest of the cycle parts are a mixture of pre-and post-war Vincent 'A' or 'B' items. Since acquisition the machine has benefited from further restoration by the NMM, as commemorated by the attached silver plaque.It should be noted that this motorcycle has been prepared for display purposes only and no attempt should be made to start it, as many of the engine's internal components are badly worn. The engine has been greased and oiled during assembly but not filled with oil, while the gearbox and cycle parts are greased as necessary. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. The machine is offered with correspondence; the aforementioned document (perusal recommended); and an old (1972) Isle of Man logbook.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1954 Vincent 499cc Comet Series CRegistration no. UVK 711 (see text)Frame no. RC/1/12412 Rear frame no. RC/1/12412Engine no. F5AB/2A/10512 Crankcase mating no. PP4Vincent's first single-cylinder model of the post-war era appeared in 1948. The newcomer was offered in two forms initially: Series-B Meteor and Series-C Comet, both of 500cc. Apart from its Burman gearbox and 'missing' cylinder, the Comet followed Series-C twin lines, featuring the newly introduced Girdraulic front fork and hydraulic dampers at front and rear, while the Meteor retained the old Brampton girders. The Meteor was soon dropped but the Comet continued in production until 1954, offering the same degree of refinement as its bigger brother, albeit with reduced performance. Even so, the Comet combined a 90mph potential with excellent fuel economy, and was the ideal touring mount for the discerning rider who placed civility of manners and quality of construction above outright performance. An expensive machine to produce, the Comet did not sell as well as its maker had hoped and was dropped when the Series-D range was introduced. This example comes with its original logbook, an expired MoT (1974), and a DoT letter dated 1984 linking the registration number 'UVK 711' to the machine; however that registration is not listed in either the HPI or DVLA database and thus the machine must be viewed as unregistered. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection1936 Brough Superior 982cc SS100Registration no. VD 6582Frame no. M1/1661Engine no. BS/X 1001•Delivered new to Edinburgh•Matching frame and engine•Earliest numbered engine in a production modelLegendary superbike of motorcycling's between-the-wars 'Golden Age,' Brough Superior - 'The Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles' - was synonymous with high performance, engineering excellence and quality of finish. That such a formidable reputation was forged by a motorcycle constructed almost entirely from bought-in components says much for the publicity skills of George Brough. But if ever a machine was more than the sum of its parts, it was the Brough Superior. W E Brough's machines had been innovative and well engineered, and his son's continued the family tradition but with an added ingredient - style. The very first Brough Superior MkI of 1919 featured a saddle tank - an innovation not adopted by the rest of the British industry until 1928 - and the latter's broad-nosed, wedge-profiled outline would be a hallmark of the Nottingham-built machines from then on. Always the perfectionist, Brough bought only the best available components for his bikes, reasoning that if the product was right, a lofty price tag would be no handicap. And in the 'Roaring Twenties' there were sufficient wealthy connoisseurs around to prove him right. Introduced in 1922, the JAP-powered SS80 achieved instant fame when a racing version ridden by George became the first sidevalve-engined machine to lap Brooklands at over 100mph. With the new SS80's performance threatening to put the overhead-valve MkI in the shade, it was decided to completely redesign the latter. The result was the legendary SS100. First shown to the public in 1924, the SS100 employed an entirely new 980cc JAP v-twin engine. A frame of duplex cradle type was devised for the newcomer, which soon after its launch became available with the distinctive, Harley-Davidson-influenced, Castle front fork patented by George Brough and Harold 'Oily' Karslake. And just in case prospective customers had any doubts about the SS100's performance, each machine came with a written guarantee that it had been timed at over 100mph for a quarter of a mile - a staggering achievement at a time when very few road vehicles of any sort were capable of reaching three-figure speeds. With this level of performance available in road trim, it was only to be expected that the SS100 would make an impact on the race track, particularly the ultra-fast Brooklands oval, and the exploits of Brough Superior riders - among them Le Vack, Temple, Baragwanath, Fernihough, and Pope - did much to burnish the marque's image. When Brooklands closed forever at the outbreak of WW2, Noel Pope's Brough Superior held both the sidecar and solo lap records, the latter at an average speed of 124.51mph.Brough entered the 1930s with an entirely JAP-powered range and then, after a brief absence, the SS80 reappeared in 1935 as the SS80 Special, this time with an engine built by Associated Motor Cycles. The following year the SS100 adopted an overhead-valve version of the AMC power unit, and the two models continued to use the Plumstead-made engines until production ceased in 1939. Brough Superior Club records show that this particular SS100, frame number '1042', left the factory with the following special features:Foot gear controlSeparate oil tank c/w filter and C&S capBattery on engine pin bracketDetachable carrier – not fittedSmall type curved top pannier bagsNon-valanced rear split guard – WasdellWasdell front guard – with flapAlum oil bath front chain caseTop & bottom rear chain coversAmal handlebar fittings – R & LH internal twist gripsLHS brake pedalPillion footrestsPropstandDual silencer & fishtailsAll of which serves to emphasise the essentially bespoke nature of the Brough Superior. Records show that this particular SS100, frame number 'M1/1661', was despatched to Rossleigh Ltd in Edinburgh, who were Brough Superior agents for much of Scotland. It has the lowest engine number ('1001') of all the AMC-powered production SS100s (the prototype's engine was '1000') but is actually the seventh of this model despatched from the Nottingham factory. Rossleigh's sales manager Jimmy Watson later recalled selling the Brough to first owner James Shaw of Blantyre, Lanarkshire.Issued in 1960, an old-style logbook on file records the owner at that time as Hubert Don of Newport, West Calder, followed by Jimmy Watson's firm Watson Bros (Aidrie) Ltd in 1963. There is a (copy) photograph on file depicting Jimmy Watson with the Brough. 'VD 6582' was next owner (from 1964) by William Proctor of Accrington, Lancashire followed by John Proctor at the same address. In 1974 the machine passed to L Potter of Newbury and since 1979 has belonged to the National Motorcycle Museum, where it was restored to 'show' specification. Following its lengthy period of museum display, re-commissioning and the usual safety checks are advised before returning the Brough to the road. The machine is offered with a copy of its Works Record Card and a V5C document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1904 Ariel 334cc (see text)Registration no. A 5785Frame no. unable to locateEngine no. 17600Something of a mystery, this early Peugeot-engined motorcycle was first registered on 24th August 1927 as a Peugeot (see old-style logbook on file). It was registered under the Roads Act of 1920, which required local councils to register all vehicles at the time of licensing and to allocate a separate number to each. (Many vehicles, although in existence for several years in some cases, were only registered for the first time after the Act's passing.) On a second logbook (issued 1954) 'Peugeot' has been crossed out and replaced with 'Ariel'. As far as we have been able to discover, Ariel never used Peugeot engines, while by 1904 (this machine's claimed date of manufacture) they were using their own engines (see copy period literature on file). The two Pioneer Certificates on file both record 'A 5785' as a 1904 Ariel. Documentation on file shows that this motorcycle was professionally restored circa 1990-1992 by Robin James, whose detailed notes are essential reading for prospective purchasers. Its owner at that time was Ronald Skerman of Surrey, who had registered the machine in March 1953. The National Motorcycle Museum purchased 'A 5785' from Mr Paul Tillion in February 2004. Additional documentation consists of an old-style V5C document and a quantity of MoT certificates (most recent expired June 2004). The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1935 Excelsior 250cc Manxman Works Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. M.E.T.T. 3Engine no. BBAR 102•One of eight or nine works machines built for the 1935 Isle of Man TT•Possibly ridden by Manliffe Barrington at the 1935 TT•Formerly part of the Norman Webb and Autokraft collectionsAlthough it had proved fast enough to win the 1933 Lightweight TT in Syd Gleave's hands, Excelsior's complex twin-cam, radial four-valve Mechanical Marvel proved something of a disappointment thereafter, and at the end of the 1934 season the Tyseley firm opted for a simpler design - the Manxman. Like the Marvel, the Manxman's Ike Hatch-designed engine was built by Blackburne, though increasing friction with its engine supplier forced Excelsior to take over production early in 1936, with further developments masterminded by Melbournian, Alan Bruce, the company's Technical Manager.A single-overhead-camshaft, two-valve design, the Manxman was built in 250, 350 and 500cc capacities. Although it never won a TT, the Manxman enjoyed considerable success in international racing and the Manx Grand Prix, Denis Parkinson winning the MGP Lightweight race three times consecutively between 1936 and 1938. Sadly, the Manxman did not resume production after WW2 and today is one of the most sought after of all post-Vintage thoroughbred motorcycles. The works Manxman offered here is one of eight or nine built for the 1935 Isle of Man TT. The riders were Manliffe Barrington (entered by Handley), Charlie Manders (works entry), Horton (entered by Alan Bruce), Cook, Cornfield, Smith, Loth, and De Ortueta from Spain. Notes left by Alan Bruce suggest that 'TT3' might have been Manliffe Barrington's machine at the '35 Lightweight TT, a race the Irish star failed to finish. Its original twin-plug engine ('BBAR EX308') was replaced in April 1936, after which the machine seems to have been used at Donington Park and thereafter as a works 'hack' or development bike. Some time later the Manxman went to Ireland, where it was raced, and in 1960 was purchased there by Norman Webb, who had bought the remains of the Excelsior race-shop in the 1950s. The machine had no engine so Norman fitted a 1936 engine ('BBAR 102'), which was assembled using the correct racing parts. An old-style continuation logbook on file (issued 1957) shows that 'BBAR 102' was in frame number 'R333' at that time. Engine number 'BBAR 102' is known to have been used on two sets of crankcases, perhaps three, and for two different machines, while the drive side crankcase is un-stamped, possibly indicating that it is a replacement. This Manxman is one of 13 Excelsiors, many of them works machines, purchased by the National Motorcycle Museum in February 1994 from Brian Angliss's Autokraft Collection. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection1954 AJS 349cc 7R Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. to be advisedEngine no. ANDERSON AJS 1Built from 1948 to 1963, Associated Motor Cycles' AJS 7R - known as the 'Boy Racer' - was one of the most successful over-the-counter racing motorcycles of all time. Almost all Britain's road-race stars of the 1950s and 1960s rode a 7R at some stage of their careers, and the model remains a major force in classic racing today. According to correspondence on file, the 7R offered here was purchased new by AJS works rider Rod Coleman for his brother Bob to ride. It later passed to another New Zealander, John Anderson, who was a regular podium finisher in NZ national events. Anderson entered the Isle of Man TT races in 1957 and 1958, riding a 7R in the Junior events and a Norton in the Senior, with a best result of 6th in the 1958 Senior race. However, it is not known if this 7R is the one used by him in the Isle of Man. Previous owner Colin Grant acquired the AJS in 1990 and used it only for the annual Isle of Man TT Parade lap; he sold the 7R to the Museum in June 2004 (receipt on file). The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1969 Triumph 750cc Trident Drag BikeRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. none foundEngine no. not stamped•Built in the USA by Bud Hare•Set a new class record of 169.33mph in 1969 at the Bonneville Salt Flats•Ridden by Jeff GoughThe unique Triumph Trident-powered drag bike offered here was built in the USA by Racing Service Center (owners Harry Seevers and Bud Hare) with funding from Triumph of America. Built to compete in the up-to-750cc APS-AF Class (Altered frame, Partial Streamlining, Altered Fuel (methanol), this machine set a new class record of 169.331mph in 1969 at the Bonneville Salt Flats ridden by Jeff Gough. Its creator was Bud Hare from Southern California, the legendary motorcycle tuner and drag racer credited with being the first man to build a twin-engined drag bike – the Triumph-powered 'Dübble Bübble' – in 1953. The three-cylinder Trident engine is mounted well back in the special hard-tail frame, no doubt to improve traction, while it is easy to understand why hub-centre steering was chosen in preference to a flex-prone telescopic fork. Fuel is pumped from tanks mounted low down in front of the engine; electronic ignition fires two plugs per cylinder; and large Japanese Mikuni carburettors replace the standard British Amal instruments. The Triumph was kept in California by owner Bud Hare and came near to being scrapped when he died in 1985. His widow decided to get rid of the bike and only the fact that the scrap man was a motorcycle enthusiast saved it from the crusher. He told a motorcycle-dealer friend, who bought the bike and preserved it. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. There are no documents with this Lot.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1958 Velocette 350cc ViperRegistration no. 827 DFCFrame no. RS10645Engine no. VR1649'One's outstanding impression is of the exceptional flexibility and smoothness of the engine – it seems almost incredible that so much docile punch should be the product of no more than one cylinder and an 8.5:1 compression ratio,' enthused Motor Cycling about its test Viper, summarising characteristics that will be familiar to anyone who has ever ridden one of Hall Green's delightful high-camshaft singles. Engine development pursued as part of the scrambles programme bore fruit in 1956 in the shape of the high-performance 500cc Venom and its 350cc sibling, the Viper. The MSS frame and forks were retained for the newcomers, but full-width alloy hubs were adopted to boost braking power and smart chromed mudguards fitted to enhance the models' sporting image. The Viper ceased production in 1968, two years before the Hall Green factory closed forever. An older restoration purchased from a Mr Turner in Waterlooville, Hampshire in 1998, this Viper appears to be an honest machine and sounds very nice when running, though we are advised that the magneto pinion/taper may have worn and requires attention. The engine was rebuilt by Martin Arscott in 1993, while other noteworthy features include a Mikuni carburettor; 12-volt electrics; and a Roo (roll-on, roll-off) centre stand, the latter a vast improvement over the standard item. Currently taxed, the machine is offered with an old-style buff logbook and V5/V5C documents.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the Collection of Carole Nash1914 BSA 4¼hp Model H Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. E 1262Frame no. 8689Engine no. 8736/14Sold strictly as viewed, this wonderful BSA Model H motorcycle combination 'barn find' was purchased at the Stafford sale in April 1991 (invoice on file) having last been used in 1978. The machine was supplied new on 11th August 1914, exactly one week after Great Britain had declared war on Germany, by Ernest D Newing of Deal, who were district agents for BSA. The first owner was a Mr J Vassey, who was allowed £30 on his old Bradbury and paid the balance of £33 in cash. Unusually, the machine comes with Newing's original sales receipt; a 1916 licence (£1); and an original BSA range brochure stamped on the cover by E D Newing. Accompanying (copy) correspondence from the BSA factory indicates that the machine was owned in 1954 by Mr C Knowles of Canterbury, Kent. After purchase in 1991, the BSA successfully completed the Pioneer Run the following year and was last taxed for the road in February 2007. Offered for restoration, this unusually well documented Veteran BSA motorcycle combination comes with a V5C Registration Certificate and a substantial file of photocopied literature and other historical paperwork. There is no Pioneer Certificate offered with the machine however, the Sunbeam Motor Cycle Club advise a replacement certificate (number '380') can be sought by the successful purchaser following the sale.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
The ex-works; Ron Langston; 1958 ISDT 1958 Ariel 497cc HT5Registration no. XOB 440Frame no. CRT 582Engine no. CAMB 1714•ISDT Gold Medal winner•An older restoration •Formerly part of the Autokraft CollectionAriel was one of the last British manufacturers to introduce a trials frame with rear suspension, the prototype of what would become the HT5 first appearing at the Scottish Six Days event in 1955 with production proper commencing in September of that year. Little was achieved by the works HT5s in their first season but the arrival of Ron Langston for 1956 brought with it the success Ariel had been seeking, their new signing winning the Cotswold and Greensmith trials. For the next few seasons the HT5 was the class of the field. Arguably the most capable of the 'heavyweight' trials irons, the HT5 disappeared along with the other Ariel four-strokes in 1959 after only 450-or-so had been made, though Sammy Miller's famous and much modified example - 'GOV 132' - would continue winning at the highest level well into the 1960s. Great Britain's entry in the 1958 International Six Days Trial (ISDT) in West Germany included the Ariel HT5 offered here, which was ridden by Ron Langston as part of the Vase A Team. Although the efforts of GB's Trophy and Vase Teams were thwarted by machine failures, there were some notable individual performances, among them Langston's, who finished with no marks lost and a coveted Gold Medal. It must have been close run thing, though, as the Ariel Team's bikes suffered frame cracks at the headstock on the fifth day and only made it to the finish thanks to jury-rigged repairs. All the frames were replaced back at the factory.Previous owner Bob Gardiner purchased this historic ISDT Ariel at Brooks' sale of the Autokraft Collection at the RAF Museum, Hendon in March 1999 (Lot 24, catalogue on file). After many years in obscurity, 'XOB 440' had re-emerged in 1986, appearing in The Classic Motor Cycle's November issue (copy on file). Then owned by Phil Ives, it had been restored by its previous owner and was in one-day trials trim. Ives then set about acquiring the many missing parts necessary to return 'XOB 440' to ISDT specification and, at the time of the article's publication, the machine was not yet finished. It is not known when the project was completed, or the machine acquired by Autokraft. In April 2019 the ex-Langston Ariel was sold at Bonhams' Stafford sale (Lot 311) and shortly thereafter was acquired by the current vendor (purchase receipt on file). As presented here, 'XOB 440' displays many of the features that differentiated the ISDT HT5 from its one-day trials counterpart: dual seat, tyre inflator, paired control cables, and front tyre 'mud claw' among others. It should be noted that the engine number is that of a roadster Red Hunter, possibly indicating an engine or crankcase swap. Accompanying documentation includes hand-written notes, a selection of photographs, photocopied literature, and old/current V5C Registration Certificates.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1974 Beamish Suzuki RL250 Trials MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 101505Engine no. 101505The Beamish Suzuki was first produced in the 1970s by ex-BSA works rider, Graham Beamish, at that time UK agent for Suzuki moto-cross machines. Beamish began by modifying a batch of RL250 trials models at the beginning of the 1974 season, the success of which prompted him to purchase all of the remaining unsold stock of the unpopular RL250 'Exacta'. Although Beamish's modifications had improved the bike, what it really needed was a completely new frame, production of which was entrusted to trials rider and frame builder, Mick Whitlock, who designed one made of lightweight Reynolds 531 tubing, bronze-welded and chromed: the 'Whitehawk'. A staggering 1,200 of this first Beamish Suzuki model were sold. A revised Mk2 version featuring a lighter/stronger frame and a higher proportion of British-made components was introduced for 1976, while a larger-engined RL325 model debuted at the 1978 Earls Court Motorcycle Show. Production of Beamish Suzukis ended in 1981. This very nicely presented Beamish Suzuki has been restored by John and Graham Pantah of GB Classic Motorcycles. There are no documents with this Lot.

c.1975 Yamaha TY250 TrialsRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 493-301917Engine no. 493-301917Having come to dominate the spheres of road racing and moto-cross, the major Japanese motorcycle factories turned their attention to the trials world in the early 1970s, recruiting top British riders to assist with machine development, just as the Spanish manufacturers had before them. In Yamaha's case this meant trials superstar Mick Andrews, late of Ossa, who began work on the TY250 in 1973. A conventional, air-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke equipped with Yamaha's innovative reed-valve induction, the TY250 proved good enough for Andrews to win the Scottish Six Days Trial in 1974, the first victory by a Japanese motorcycle in that arduous event. He won the SSDT again on the TY250 in 1975, and the model and its derivatives went onto establish a formidable reputation in observed trials. Mono-shock rear suspension and a six-speed gearbox were among the innovations tried on the works bikes, both of which later found their way onto production models. There are no documents with this TY250, which is believed to be an older restoration.

2008 Rickman Matchless 499cc G80CS MkIIIRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. R4375MEngine no. G80CS/4709The Rickman brothers - Don and Derek - were already established moto-cross stars when they built the first Métisse in 1959 and within a decade their company would grow to become one of the biggest and best-known independent motorcycle frame-makers. Having started out campaigning Triumph-engined BSAs, for 1961 the brothers introduced the first Rickman frame, the Métisse MkIII, which was produced in substantial quantities. It was followed by the more compact MkIV, intended for the unitary construction Triumph T100 and BSA Victor engines, while there were also frames for two-stroke singles and a road racing chassis. Unable to compete with the Japanese factories, the Rickmans gave up frame making in the early 1980s and the rights to their MkIII design, together with those relating to the Rickman name, eventually passed to former moto-cross rider Adrian Moss, who had bought Rickman's stock of parts when production ceased. This particular machine was built by Rickman Motorcycles in 2008 and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Adrian Moss. The machine is powered by one of the most competitive moto-cross engines of the pre-'65 period: the handsome all-alloy Matchless G80CS. Purchased directly from Rickman Motorcycles, a new MkII fuel tank was fitted in April 2020 and the machine is described by the private vendor as in excellent condition throughout.
