A "Stiga Villa Royal" hydrostatic-drive, ride-on Lawn Mower, the Honda GCV-530 overhead cam, twin-cylinder engine is, we are informed, in really good order [it turns and has good compression], but there is wear and tear to the up-front twin-rotor cutting deck and the machine is sold as seen for repair/recommissioning/spares.
A "Winget" one tonne, rear steer Dumper with new front tyres. The dumper is fitted with a Petter single cylinder, air-cooled diesel engine Serial No. 115550 and the makers' plate states that 7.4 B.H.P. is produced at 1,650 R.P.M. The Hand-brake is effective and the steering appears very positive. Has been standing outside, was previously running and it is hoped that she will be running prior to the auction. Watch this space.***We have now had her running and driving but there appears to be a little air entering the fuel feed system, with a little fettling she should be ready for work.***
A VW Beetle based Trike registration number Q612 VAF (Not transferable). Recorded at the DVLA as a "Runninwild", she was first registered on the 1st June 1997 and is recorded as 1200 cc., the last M.O.T. test expired, it seems, on the 18th July 2011. The trike is currently SORN'd and the V5C is now present. We are informed by the vendor that this rather unusual three-wheeled motorcycle was constructed as an R & R project on an Aircraft carrier in the Falkland Islands during the Falklands War, presumably therefore either on H.M.S. Invincible or H.M.S. Hermes. A previous owner is understood to have toured the continent with her, towing a small trailer. As can be seen, she has a Motorcycle-style front end and a VW Beetle air cooled rear end/transaxle/running gear. No engine is included with the trike, but a suitable engine should not prove too difficult to source. The vendor had, at vast expense, commissioned a much modified and balanced four cylinder air-cooled engine for the machine with oversized barrels and pistons, an up-rated camshaft and breathing through twin Dellorto carburettors. He states that very few vehicles, with the exception of potent motorcycles, were quicker off the line. The engine can be made available to the successful purchaser, if required, for £2,500. The trike, which has obviously been road-legal, is sold for restoration/ recommissioning and should make an exciting spring project.As with all motor vehicles sold through our auctions, this machine is sold in its current condition and all vehicles should be inspected in person prior to bidding.
