1962 MGA Mk 2 Coupe, UK RHD, 1622 cc. Registration number ACK 588A. Chassis number GHD2/106040. Engine number 16 GCUH5904. To quote the company's own advertising, the MG A was the 'first of a new line'. Launched at the Frankfurt Motorshow of 1955, it owed its modern streamlined design to the body Syd Enever had created for George Philips' 1951 TD Le Mans car, and featured a chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and power from a 1489cc version of the straight-four BMC B Series engine, as found in the MG Magnette. In 1959 the capacity was increased to 1588cc. A total of 101,081 MG As were sold between 1955 and 1962, most of which were exported. The engine size was increased again to 1622 cc by increasing the bore from 75.4 mm to 76.2 mm for the 1961 Mark II MGA. The cylinder head was also revised with larger valves and re-engineered combustion chambers. Horsepower increased to 90 bhp. It also had a higher ratio 4:1 rear axle, which made for more relaxed high-speed driving. An inset grille and Morris Mini tail lamps appearing horizontally below the deck lid were the most obvious visual changes. 8,198 Mark II roadsters and 521 coupés were built of which only 219 were RHD UK, 168 in 1961 and only 51 in 1962. Road & Track magazine reviewed the MG A 1600 Mark II in the September 1961 issue and reported an estimated top speed of 105 mph and a 0-60 acceleration of 12.8 seconds. ACK is therefore a pretty rare machine that was originally built over the 8th and 9th of January 1962, being dispatched on the 17th. It was in Old English white with a red interior and disc wheels. First registered in Lancashire on a cherished number of 15 TJ (now on a Land Rover) on the 1st of June 1963 (hence the DVLA age related number plate as it would have been a six-digit number). On the 29th May 1964 Andrew Bell of Blackburn traded in a Ford Consul for it at a cost of £695. He and his family were to own it until our vendor bought it in 2015. The vast history folder shows Bell living in Bahrain in the mid 1980's and instructing Naylor Brothers of Shipley to undertake a full concours restoration in 1986/87, including the fitting of wire wheels. The paperwork is very detailed as to the works involved and state that at this time the mileage was some 35,000. It then lived a very pampered life until he moved to Arizona, USA in circa 2010 when the mileage had only risen to 42,468 miles; he obtained a Heritage Certificate in this year. The Arizona certificate of ownership shows Anne Bell at the same address, presumably his wife, and our vendor bought it from her in 2014, having it imported in 2015. At this time the car was MOT'd at 42, 583 miles and has been MOT'd every year since, in June 2019 it had risen to 44,028 miles. It is only being sold as our vendor is restoring a classic yacht. Sold with the V5C, various MOT's, the import documents, a vast wealth of previous receipts, a photograph of it in 2007 with a badge bar fitted (detached but with the car). The only non-standard fittings are the wire wheels (1986) and an electric fan and oil cooler fitted in the USA. Spicers can highly recommend this Coupe, it has only had three owners, (one from 1964 until 2014), it has the original interior, the restoration by Naylors is a credit to their workmanship.
1959 BSA Gold Star, Clubmans Trim, 500 cc. Registration number 322 KPD (non transferrable). Frame number CB32 8354. Engine number DBD34 GS 4199. Gearbox RRT2. To start the Goldie story, we go back to 1937, when Wal Handley came out of retirement to ride a three-lap race for BSA at Brooklands. Winning the race, with the fastest lap of 107.5mph, Wal earned himself the Gold Star (awarded for race laps in excess of 100mph) and with it launched the Gold Star marque. The following year saw the first of the production Gold Stars, the M24, complete with the trademark alloy barrel and cylinder head. The engines were built from individually selected parts and bench tested, a practice that was to remain throughout its life. The machine, an instant 'good-looker' and a bargain at £82, was capable of 90mph performance though possibly without the handling to match, and pre-war production was restricted to under 500 machines. Post war, BSA launched the ZB32 in 1948 at a price of £211. In order to satisfy the eligibility requirements for the Clubman's TT, over 100 machines were produced, 21 of which were entered into the 1949 350cc junior race, a race to be dominated by Gold Stars for the next eight years. The 350cc model was followed by the 500cc ZB34. 1953 saw the introduction of the BB series (BB32-350cc/BB34-500cc) with new duplex cradle frame and swinging arm rear suspension. These were followed in 1954 by the CB series with engine changes aimed primarily at the road racers. Immediate success was achieved in the Clubman's TT and this cycle of engine redesign and immediate success was repeated the following year with the DB series. Towards the end the Gold Star was only offered in scrambles or Clubman's trim. In 1963 Lucas ceased to produce the magneto used in the B series, which was a prime reason that BSA and Triumph reconfigured their pre-unit-construction parallel twins into engines with integral gearboxes, simultaneously converting the ignition system from magneto to battery and coil. The Gold Star was not considered for progression to unit-construction, and instead the 250cc BSA C15 was developed (via the B40) into the 500cc B50. This example was dispatched from the factory on Tally number 1715 in Clubman trim to Commerfords of Thames Ditton as Consignment Note 3395 on the 24th April 1959. They sold it to A. Labrum of Balham, London on the 11th May, for £305.13.4. After this its life is unknown until Peter Sargent of Southampton registered it with DVLA in November 1985 and obtained an age related number CSV 495. In July 2001 he contacted the Owners Club to start proceedings to regain the original number, 332 KPD, which happened in the October. In 2014 he sold it, via D.R. Classic Motorcycles of Burton on Trent to Michael Bell of Rossett and our vendor bought it from him, via Venture Classics of Herefordshire in March 2015. In the December he had the engine rebuilt by John Cronshaw with an Omega forged piston and an electronic magneto at a cost of £1,711, the carb was also changed to a Mikuni VM36 (the original Amal is included in the sale). It runs on period correct Dunlop alloy rims. Little used since due to his worsening hip problems, he asked a friend to ride it from his home in Tadcaster to the saleroom in Driffield. This very well sorted BDB34 is offered for sale with the V5C, V5, Gold Star Owners Club letters, copy of Commerfords register, receipts for the purchase by the last two owners, receipts for works undertaken. We can highly recommend this machine.
1963 Honda CZ100. 1963 Honda CZ 100 Monkey Bike, 49cc. Registration number 213 XBB (not transferable). Frame number 3746. Engine number C100 – 63379. The Honda Monkey bike is perhaps most widely known as a groovy icon of the 1970s, but it first saw the light of day in 1961. Originally developed as a 49cc child’s plaything for Tama Tech, an amusement park in Tokyo, it proved so popular that a road-going version was developed, which was initially exported to America and Europe in 1963, with a distinctive chrome tank, folding handlebars and 5-inch diameter rigidly-mounted wheels. The little 49cc overhead 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 C100 power unit was both refined and reliable requiring little in the way of maintenance and, with a three-speed gearbox with automatic clutch, made for a very usable package housed in a simple rigid frame. An ultra-short wheelbase, small wheels, a simple electrical system, a vestigial fuel tank and a thickly padded single seat providing adequate comfort for the short trips the machine was intended to undertake were all features of a machine which, in the case of the folding handlebar version, could fit into the boot of a car. 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, used by both children and adults as a paddock bike, quickly becoming as much a part of the motorsport landscape as Bell Helmets, Castrol R and Heuer watches. The earliest machines are dated by their engine numbers, they have no speedo which in 1964 was inserted into the headlight unit, a white petrol tank, rigid 'suspension' at both ends and rolled edge mudguards. These early bikes were believed to have been hand-built at the Honda factory by selected apprentices using mechanical components from existing models, whilst everything else was bespoke made. There are very limited spare parts now available for these early bikes so they are notoriously difficult to restore, making this complete and original example highly collectable. 213 XBB was first registered on the 31st of December by the Cowie motorcycle dealers of Newcastle, Stockton, Durham and Sunderland at a purchase price of £67.15.5, to a gentleman from Hexham. From the engine number of 63379, 63 is the year and 379 being the number off the production line. In 2001 our vendor purchased it and has restored it with the original components, with the exception of a stainless steel exhaust and a new headlamp lens. Sold with theV5C, V5, 1974 tax disc, 1996 MOT and dating certificate. Our vendor rode it around our saleroom when he delivered it for sale, please note that the V5C states the frame number is the same as the engine whereas the frame is stamped 3746.
