Honda CZ100 Bike Make: Honda Bike Model: CZ100 Bike Reg No.: BDV369B Bike Frame No.: 500235 Bike Engine No.: C100E-63890 Bike Colour: Red The little 49cc over head valve single cylinder engine and gearbox unit that was introduced with the C100 Cub in 1958 provided the power unit for a variety of ultra-lightweight machines produced by Honda, the most distinctive of which was and remains the "Monkey Bike. The concept of the "mini motorcycle" was not a new one, with machines such as the Corgi in the UK and the Mustang in the States achieving varying degrees of popularity. With the introduction of the Monkey Bike, Honda did with the mini bike concept what they were to do so well in other areas of motorcycle design, they took an idea and refined it to the point where it became accessible to non motorcyclists. The C100 power unit was both refined and reliable requiring little in the way of maintenance and was housed in a simple rigid frame with unsprung forks riding on five inch diameter wheels. A thickly padded single seat provided adequate comfort for the short trips the machine was intended to undertake and a simple electrical system was fitted, whilst the provision of folding handlebars meant that the little machine could be tucked away when not in use. Supported by an extensive dealer network the little machine quickly gained a healthy following being used as a tender to caravans and yachts, a leisure vehicle in its own right, usable by children aged 4 or 5 to 80 and as a paddock bike, quickly becoming as much a part of the motorsport landscape as Bell Helmets, Castrol R and Heuer watches. This well presented, original example of the CZ100 has been housed in a private collection and is said to have good, red paintwork and sound brightwork.

1924 Morris Cowley `Bullnose` Tourer Car Year: 1924 Car Manufacturer: Morris Car Model: Cowley `Bullnose` Tourer Car Reg No.: PW 3580 Car Chassis No.: 59902 Car Colour: Grey OFF THE ROAD SINCE 1929 This time warp Bullnose Cowley was supplied new by Southgates of Fakenham, Norfolk to Cyril Case of Wells and registered on October 4th 1924. On March 9th 1927 it passed into the hands of J H Steel of the Crown Hotel, Fakenham and, the very same day, to Mary Loads of the Blue Bell Inn, Blakeney. She had the taxation class changed from Private to Hackney Carriage, with a quoted seating capacity of eight persons! The Cowley was then taken off the road at the end of 1929 and by the following year had been stored in an old fish shed in Sheringham, with another Bullnose of the same age for company. And there they lay undisturbed for the next 50 years! The story of their discovery was considered sufficiently momentous to be reported in the Daily Telegraph, Daily Express and Observer. They were then entered in the April 1979 Sotheby`s sale at Castle Donington, which is where the vendor acquired `PW 3580`. Christened `Bessie Bullnose` by his children, it has been dry stored from then until now, so all told has been driven for a mere five of its 88 years. The vendor informs us that the body is rusty but totally original (with the exception of some bonnet sections), as is the interior - even the tyres and battery appear to be the ones fitted to the Morris when brand new. The body frame and chassis are thought to be very sound and the engine apparently turns on the handle. Needless to say a complete restoration is the order of the day, but one would probably have to wait a long time to find another such unmolested Bullnose. It comes complete with buff log book, V5, Sotheby`s catalogue and documentation, newspaper cuttings, photos etc. A unique and exciting opportunity. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com
