A 1939 HRD Vincent Series A Meteor, registration number HJO 760, frame number D1759, engine number M673, maroon and black, the ex Alex Moulton rubber heel prototype. This historically significant Series A Meteor was despatched from the factory on 29-6-39 to Kings of Oxford. The original order form (copy on file) states that it was fitted with a Burman gearbox (XBAPH no number noted), Brampton forks, a Miller magneto and lighting set, an Amal carburettor, TT handle bars, TT aluminium mud guards, a TT stainless petrol tank (would appear to have been fitted with a standard steel tank from new), a 120 mph speedometer, duo brakes, a Dunlop saddle, a low exhaust pipe and a pillion seat. The 499cc engine was fitted with oil pump BD618 and a Levis 4 X camshaft, and a Specialloid 7/6 piston. Unfortunately the early history after the initial despatch to Kings of Oxford is unknown until D1759 came into the possession of Mr Alex Moulton, the inventor from Bradford on Avon who was in possession of the motorcycle after the second world war. He would subsequently use the Vincent as a test bed for his rubber heel rear suspension (article on file Motor Cycling November 1947). Mr Moulton would retain ownership until 1985 when Mr Christopher Edwards (deceased), an engineer and Vincent Owner's Club member purchased it direct from him. From information taken from the history it can be seen that Mr Edwards undertook a considerable amount of research before starting a full nut and bolt restoration to an extremely high standard. There are letters on file from the historian Bob Stafford amongst others outlining the original specification of the motorcycle. Mr Edwards commenced the restoration in approximately 1998 and there is correspondence with DVLA to retain the original registration number (non transferable). Mr Edwards was unfortunately unable to complete the restoration due to ill health, but another close friend, the legendary trials rider Sammy Miller kindly finished the restoration for Mr Edwards' widow (receipt on file for £2,326.75 dated 4-11-14). Since completing the restoration the Vincent has only been started with a slave petrol supply (the petrol tank has not be used) and it is advised that the next custodian should undertake a final shake down and light recommissioning before the motorcycle goes into use. The vast accompanying history file contains copies of the original bill and order forms, correspondence with Bob Stafford, a February 1985 MPH magazine (No 433) where the motorcycle is featured, original tax discs from 1947, 48, 49 and 50 when the Vincent was last believed to have been licensed, photographs, receipts, general correspondence, original handbook and dating certificate. This fastidiously restored and historically significant Vincent is now available for the first time in over 30 years and would be an excellent addition to any collection.

1961 Greeves Scottish 24TDS trials 246 cc Registration number YST 365. Frame number 61/1690. Engine number plate missing. Greeves motorcycles were produced in a purpose-built factory at Thundersley in Essex from 1953 to 1976. Initially the bikes were an offshoot of the Invacar company which produced invalid cars. The competition bias of the company was very strong, with more than half the total production being machines for competition in motocross, trials or road racing. The bikes were exclusively two-stroke powered, using proprietary engines from Villiers and British Anzani initially. The distinctive features of most Greeves machines are the alloy beam frame front member and the rubber-in-torsion suspended leading link fork. For the few short years of their heyday Greeves were remarkably successful in competition, with wins in the European Motocross Championship, the Manx Grand Prix, the European Trials Championship, the Scottish Six Days Trial and in the ISDT. See the Pete Lasota collection in the automoblia section of this catalogue. Little is known of the history of this example, except that it has been in Yorkshire for many years. The engine is a Villiers 32A 246cc, the cast iron barrel has been changed for an alloy one from a scrambler, a common period modification. It comes with a spare correct paddle front hub on a Dunlop rim, a spare leading link and a collection of Leading Link newsletters from the late 1990's. ***AMENDED DESCRIPTION*** The factory dispatch records state “Frame 61/1690 was manufactured in 1961 as a 24 TDS trials machine fitted with engine number 863B 1919. It was dispatched from the factory on the 24/03/1961 to the Greeves agent H. Wood of Newcastle.” The engine would have been a 32A Villiers 246cc single and the engine number would have been prefixed 32A. According to the despatch record the factory produced 376 24 TDS machines.
