From the estate of the late Bill Grove 1920 Regent 688ccRegistration no. BS 9429Frame no. 69Engine no. E5-564•Owned by the VMCC's Regent marque specialist, Bill Grove•Exceptionally rare make•An older restoration•Not used since circa 2014 'Small manufacturer, who fitted 688cc Coventry-Victor flat twin sv engines into heavy frames of own design and manufacture.' – Erwin Tragatsch, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Motorcycles. Some measure of Regent's obscurity may be gained from the fact that the foregoing is all that Tragtasch has to say about this little-known make. Set up in London in 1919, Regent Motors approached Coventry Victor for the supply of their motorcycle's sidevalve engines and other components, which were assembled initially in Coventry and then sent down to London for finishing. Although Regent Motors folded after only a year or two, Coventry Victor took over manufacture and sold its first motorcycle products under the Coventry Regent name. The marque became plain Coventry Victor from around 1920 and before the decade's end had branched out into motorcar manufacture. Complete vehicles were produced up to 1938, whereafter the firm concentrated on its general engineering business, finally disappearing in 1991.This ultra-rare motorcycle from a long-forgotten make belonged to the VMCC's Regent marque specialist Trevor William 'Bill' Grove of Northamptonshire. The Regent was purchased shortly after the Wooller in this sale (Lot 508) both machines being 'basket cases' when acquired. Unfortunately Bill fell ill after the 2015 Beamish Run and the Wooler and Regent were then put in the garage where they have been stored ever since. Both are older restorations presented in 'as last used' condition (the Regent carries a tax disc that expired in February 2015). Sadly, Bill passed away in 2020, hence the reason for sale. Following a period of inactivity and storage, the machine will require re-commissioning at the very least, or possibly more extensive restoration, before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Noteworthy features include a Sturmey Archer gearbox, Binks carburettor, and Klaxon horn. Documents include a V5C; a numberplate certificate; a dating certificate from The Society of Automotive Historians dated 10.2.05; and a printed copy of Bill's illustrated restoration diary. A few spares are included in the sale.Offered without keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

From The Warr's Harley-Davidson Collection 1970 Harley-Davidson 883cc XLH 'Boat Tail' SportsterRegistration no. VDH 128HFrame no. 3A10142H0Engine no. 3A10142H0•Rare optional 'boat tail' seat/fender•Highly original•Unusual colour scheme•Part of the Warr Collection since 2013'Insiders knew that another overhead-valve twin was in the works, and that the new cylinders would be bolted to the K model bottom end. Hopes were not exceptionally high. But the doubters were all but dumbstruck when the XL showed up lean, mean and ready for the green.' – Tod Rafferty, The Complete Harley-Davidson Encyclopedia.The evocatively titled Sportster has been a permanent feature of the Harley-Davidson line-up since its arrival for 1957. Intended to compete with the sportier British parallel twins, and those offered by home-based rivals Indian, the XL Sportster was leaner and meaner than previous Harleys and boasted an all-new overhead-valve v-twin engine producing 40bhp. This new power unit went into the chassis of the Model K. Introduced in 1952, the 45ci Model K was Harley's final 'flat-head'. Almost a complete break with the past, the K had adopted ideas from Europe: unitary construction of the engine/transmission, swinging-arm rear suspension, foot operated gear change, and hand clutch, but despite better handling than its similar-sized predecessor, proved little faster. The arrival of the 883cc overhead-valve engine would change all that. Progressively improved and updated, the ever-popular Sportster remains Harley's top-selling model today. Without question the 1970 Sportster's most talked about feature was the optional extended 'boat tail' combined seat and rear fender. Predictably, given the innate conservatism of Harley's target market, the 'boat tail' did not last long and was dropped at the end of 1971. Very rare and totally original, this 'boat tail' Sportster was owned by the US Harley-Davidson dealer O'Donahue for many years before joining the Warr collection in 2013, since when it has been kept in dry storage. Re-commissioning will be required before the machine returns to the road. Boasting an unusual and very attractive colour scheme and equipped with touring accessories, this beautiful 'boat tail' Sportster has a total of 9,572 miles on the odometer and is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Rhamphorhynchus (Flugsaurier)Maße mit Sockel: 90 x 65 x 50 cm. Maße ohne Sockel: 87 x 62 x 3 cm. Gewicht: 23 kg. Solnhofen, Deutschland, Mittel- bis Oberjura, ca. 155 Millionen Jahre alt.Flugsaurier der Klassifizierung Rhamphorhynchinae konnten eine Spannweite von 1,8 Metern erreichen und hatten einen etwa 20 cm langen Schwanz, der in ein rautenförmiges Ruder endete, das hier etwas länglich erscheint. Die nach vorn ausgerichteten Zähne seines Kiefers sind noch gut zu sehen und dienten wohl dem Fischfang, sind doch bei einigen Fossilien noch Fischreste zu sehen. Die Hauptfundorte sind Tendaguru in Tansania, in England sowie im Nusplinger Plattenkalk in Württemberg und bei Solnhofen und Eichstätt im bayerischen Franken. Besonders bei Exemplaren aus Solnhofen sind oft noch Abdrücke des Stützgewebes, der Flughaut und Details der Flügen zu erkennen. (†)Anmerkung: Das erste fossile Exemplar des Rhamphorhynchus wurde von Samuel Thomas von Soemmerring dem Sammler Georg Graf zu Münster im Jahr 1825 überbracht. Von Soemmerring nahm an, dass es zu einem alten Vogel gehörte. Als weitere Zähne freigelegt wurden, schickte Graf zu Münster den Fund an Professor Georg August Goldfuss, der diesen dann als einen Flugsaurier identifizierte. Dieses Exemplar erhielt den Namen Ornithocephalus (= Pterodactylus) muensteri. Im Jahre 1845 benannte Hermann von Meyer die ursprüngliche Art Ornithocephalus muensteri zu Pterodactylus muensteri. In einer Neubetrachtung 1847 benannte dann von Meyer Ornithocephalus zur eigenen Gattung Rhamphorhynchus um.Literatur: Vgl.
