1969 Laverda 750 GT 'American Eagle'Registration no. PFJ 320GFrame no. LAV750 1648Engine no. 750 1648•One of only some 150 made•First registered in the UK in 2021•Most collectible and sought after modelsShortly after the Laverda 750GT went on sale in Europe, McCormack International Motors Incorporated, a vehicle importing business, concluded a deal with the Italian factory to market the model in the USA under the 'American Eagle' brand name. Unfortunately for Jack McCormack, Laverda's 750 twins were soon upstaged by the four-cylinder Honda CB750, which was not only better specified but cheaper too, and only some 150 had been imported when McCormack went bust. With relatively few made and even fewer still in existence, the American Eagle is now one of Laverda's most collectible and sought after models. American Eagle is also famous as having kick-started Evel Knievel's career. The brand sponsored the American stunt rider, who wore a distinctive jumpsuit and cape with the American Eagle logo across the front of his leathers and on his helmet. He used a modified American Eagle 750 to complete several record-breaking jumps, suffering some spectacular crashes. Eventually Harley-Davidson realised the marketing potential and provided Knievel with a Harley-Davidson XR750 for his jumps. This very early US-market American Eagle 750 GT was first registered in the UK on 1st September 2021 and has had one former keeper in this country. Its history in the USA is unknown. There is a video of the machine running, available to view on the Bonhams website. The machine is offered with sundry invoices; photocopied technical literature; suspension instructions; owner's manual/parts list; repair guide; copy online advertisement; and a current V5C document. A 4' round brake light lamp lens is included in the sale.Footnotes:All lots are 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

Benedict Chukwukadibia Enwonwu M.B.E (Nigerian, 1917-1994)Bust of a young boy bronze on wooden plinth 33 x 18 x 19cm (13 x 7 1/16 x 7 1/2in). (including base)Footnotes:ProvenanceA private collection.The qualities of the present lot show the refined rendering and the textual qualities that the artist had also favoured in his wood sculptures. It could be said that Ben Enwonwu's earliest artistic depictions were in sculpture given that he used to carve his own toys as a child. In his later bronze works, often depicting people of personal significance to Enwonwu, sculptural portraiture was an practise of the artist that displays an extension of his extensive artistic talents. So skilful was his technique that in 1956 he received a portrait commission of Queen Elizabeth II to commemorate her visit to Nigeria earlier that year. Working in London, he conducted preliminary sketches and clay models of the monarch in his own studio before relocating to the Maida Vale studio of his colleague at the Royal Society of British Artists, Sir William Reid-Dick, as the work increased in scale. In an interview conducted with the artist in 1988, Sylvester Ogbechie relates, 'Enwonwu completed his clay model of the Queen's portrait in July 1957 and had it cast in bronze by Guilio Galicie, an Italian bronze caster resident in London, from a plaster cast prepared in the studio of Frederico Mancini' (Ogbechie, 2008: p. 138).BibliographySylvester Okwunodu Ogbechie, Ben Enwonwu: The Making of an African Modernist (Rochester, NY: 2008)For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
