A circa 1956 Panther 10/3 restoration project, red. This Panther is described by the vendor as a good project for someone. The frame appears to have been resprayed at some point and would appear to be complete in all major respects.

The Panther is accompanied by a dating letter from Panther Owners Club confirming the year as 1956. Unregistered, MOT and tax exempt See illustration
A 1952 Indian Brave, registration number NSV 906, red. Indian were renowned for their large V twin motorcycles, also produced a smaller 250cc side valve engined machine, which was manufactured by Brockhouse Engineering of Southport (the makers of the Corgi). The Brave had the 250cc side value engine, which remained in production until the mid-1950s, and ceased production when the company was taken over by Royal Enfield. This rare machine has performed part of a large collection of motorcycles in recent years, and has been kept in dry storage. The vendor informs us that the motorcycle was last used in 2014, when it was said to be running well. Unfortunately, the vendor has lost the key but a replacement should be available through the Owners' Club. During his ownership, the motorcycle has benefited from a new exhaust pipe and is now only for sale due to the owner's ill health. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustration
A 1960 Royal Enfield Meteor Minor, registration number 134 RPK, red. A rare motorcycle in period and now an even rarer sight on today's roads, as the Meteor Minor never had the appeal of its rivals 500cc twins. It featured an over square 496cc overhead valve vertical twin engine with separate light alloy cylinder heads and an Albion four speed gearbox. It was more than capable of keeping up with the competition and had a very respectable top speed of 98 mph when new. This Meteor Minor comes to auction from a deceased's estate. It would appear in good condition but it is not known when the machine was last used, and to this end it is advised that the motorcycle will require re-commissioning and the usual safety checks before being ridden. V5C, no MOT, tax exempt See illustration
A 1955 Norton ES2, registration number UWA 967, frame number K4 61174, engine number K461174, silver.

The Norton has been in the vendor's care since 1988 and was purchased as a restoration project (there is a note on file that states that it was in several boxes!) having rebuilt the motorcycle the machine was used regularly but sparingly, and there are MOTs on file which shows that the Norton has travelled approximately 1,000 miles since 1998. The vendor informs us that Norton is running but now requires some TLC and general fettling. The accompanying history file contains past MOTs and a Norton Owner's Club dating letter. The Norton is to be offered for auction without any reserve. RF60, V5, V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustration

The current recorded mileage is now 26,973 miles. The Honda is presented in very original condition and still retains its original exhaust. Having now been in storage since 2008 the motorcycle will require some recommissioning and the usual safety checks before taking to the road.

A fastidiously maintained machine, comes to auction with a history file containing the original bill of sale, handbooks, service book, brochures, receipts, expired MOTs (including its last MOT which expired on 1st September 2015), tax discs, a journal of maintenance and expenditure, SORNs and photographs.

A 1972 Norton Commando 750, registration number MGY 723L, frame number 150560, engine number 150560, green. Norton's Commando was launched in 1967, and featured a vibration beating Isolastic frame. The Commando was an instant hit with the motorcycling fraternity, and would be voted Motor Cycle News Machine Of The Year, on five consecutive years. The 750 parallel twin version would remain in production until 1973, when an enlarged 850 engine version would become available. The Commando 750 was purchased by the vendor in October 2004, having had three previous owners. With a believed genuine 31,500 miles on the odometer, and the vendor only adding 1,500 of those in the last twelve years, this Commando has certainly been cherished by its four recorded keepers. The vendor rebuilt the Norton approximately two years ago, incorporating many stainless steel fittings, new verniers and a wiring loom. Approximately 500 miles have been added to the clock since the re-build, and it certainly sounded in rude heath on our inspection and started with the first kick. The Norton is offered with past MOTs, SORNS, tax discs and a workshop manual. V5C, no MOT See illustrations
A 1951 Douglas 350 Mk V, registration number NKP 13, blue. BMW are normally associated with parallel twins, but Douglas were making flat twins a decade before BMW's offerings. The Douglas Mk Series of motorcycles were introduced after WWII with the Mk I debuting 1947. The Mk III and IV followed with the Mk V arguably the best of the lot becoming available in 1950. This 1951 example was originally registered to its first owner in Gillingham Kent. The Douglas would have several further owners who all resided in the Gillingham area. In the current vendor's ownership the motorcycle has recently had the carburettors refurbished and the top end of the engine rebuilt with new valves. The Douglas is offered with expired MOTs and tax discs. RF60, V5, V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustrations
A 1960 Triumph Tiger T100A, registration number TAS 256, black and silver. 1960 saw the first unit construction engine, a major departure for Triumph as all other previous models had been pre-unit (separate gearbox and engine). The model would remain in production in various specifications until 1973. This early T100A has been restored by a previous owner. The vendor describes the motorcycle as being in beautiful condition. During his ownership of two years he has replaced the head stock bearings and used the Triumph sparingly adding only approximately 60 miles to the odometer. V5C, MOT to May 2016, tax exempt See illustration
A 1963 Royal Enfield Crusader Sports, registration number 6940 BH, chrome and red. Introduced in 1959, the Crusader featured a 250cc engine with an alloy head, large valves, a performance camshaft, a revised crankshaft and a 7 inch front brake. From 1961, the engine compression ratio was increased from 5.5:1 to 8.75:1, which increased the top speed on the motorcycle to just over 80 mph. This revised version of the Crusader is from a deceased's estate. It would appear in good condition, but it is not known when the machine was last used, and so to this end, it is advised that the motorcycle will require re-commissioning and the usual safety checks before being ridden. V5C, no MOT, tax exempt See illustration

EXTRA LOT: A 1966 Honda CS92 Benly Sports, frame number C92-5000121, engine number C92E-5000125, blue. The CS92 is one of the most underrated and undervalued of Honda's early classics, yet arguably is one of the most interesting. Introduced in 1959 the model featured stylish upswept exhausts fitted with perforated heat shields and featured the 15 bhp ***four (not two) stroke*** engine which was capable of 75 mph when new. The CS92 was produced for less than two years and this example is in remarkably original and complete condition. We are advised by the vendor that the engine turns over without any untoward noises, but there is some damage to the seat cover, and in some places there is surface rust on the frame. Offered for auction without any documents this ultra rare early Honda represents possible a once in a lifetime opportunity to own such a machine. No accompanying paperwork. See illustration
A 1959 BMW R50, registration number 425 MPA, frame number 561072, engine number 561072, black. This matching numbers R50 has formed part of a small private collection and has been owned by the vendor since 2007.

This Rocket Gold Star replica has been built to show standard by the vendor, using correct parts. During the build the following works were carried out: the engine was rebuilt with relined barrels (10.5/1 high compression pistons), new head guides and oversized valves, new Amal Mk I 930 twin carb conversion, new exhaust, rebuilt close ratio RRT2 gearbox originally supplied by John Gardner, new clutch plates/primary chain, reconditioned magneto and dynamo, new regulator box, wiring loom, Altette horn and ammeter and powder coated frame.

A reconditioned speedometer and revolution counter with new cables were fitted, the wheels were rebuilt with new spokes and chrome rims, the original petrol tank was rechromed, as were the front and rear mudguards, stays, handlebars, levers, switchgear and taps. Where possible the vendor also used stainless steel nuts and bolts and fittings. Since completion it has only been ridden an approximate 100 shakedown miles and will require running-in and final adjustments to the carburettors. This beautifully built and exciting Gold Star replica is now ready to be enjoyed by the next owner. V5C, no MOT, tax exempt See illustrations
A 1951 Norton Big 4, registration number VAS 420, frame number F339832, silver and black. Norton's Model 1 or more commonly known as Big 4 was manufactured between 1907 & 1954 in various forms. This particular model range saw service with The British Army during WWII and became a firm favourite back in civvy street where they found favour pulling many a sidecar outfit. This particular post WWII example has been restored by the vendor to a good standard whilst in his 20 year ownership. During the restoration the engine was rebuilt top and bottom with a new piston supplied by F W Thornford & Son Ltd. Since the restoration the machine has seen little use and will require general recommissioning before taking to the road once again. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustration
A 1964 BSA A50 Royal Star, registration number XFX 426B, frame number A506887, engine number A50A391C, blue. This BSA A50 was exported to North America and returned to these shores in 1991. It was purchased by the vendor 18 years ago as a 50th birthday present. It required restoration which he completed to a good standard and the BSA returned to the road after obtaining its first MOT in April 1997. Since then A50 has travelled relatively few miles as can be seen by the MOTs with approximately 3,000 miles being added to the odometer. The vendor advises us that the BSA is running well but would benefit from some general tidying now. The A50 is offered for auction with past MOTs, tax discs, photocopies of the American title, a BSA dating letter, workshop manuals, general literature and some spares. V5C, MOT to August 2016, tax exempt See illustration
A 1984 BMW R45, registration number B74 OFX, red and black. The R45 and its sibling the R65 were introduced in the late 1970s to complement the larger engined machines. With its 473cc horizontally opposed flat-twin engine, the BMW had a top speed of 95 mph and returned over 50 mpg. This particular example has been in the vendor's possession since 2001, and there are two further keepers recorded on the logbook. There is a receipt on file for recommissioning and an MOT in August 2013 for £200.40 which was undertaken by Anvil Motor Cycles Ltd, Weymouth, Dorset. Since then the BMW has been MOTd again and with only a nominal mileage being covered in that time, the vendor has made the decision to sell the bike due to the recent lack of use. V5C, ***MOT to August 2016*** See illustration
A 1957 Velocette Valiant, registration number RAS 668, frame number 1372/33, engine number V2001539, black. This Valiant was originally supplied by Harry Wood Ltd of Newcastle on Tyne with green tin work and carried the original registration number UAB 121. During a restoration the colour was changed to black. It unusually still retains its original metal engine cowl which usually gets lost or changed for a fibreglass item. Since 2003 the motorcycle has been in a small private collection and was last registered for the road in November 2014 and since then has been in dry storage. It will now require light recommissioning and the usual safety checks before commencing normal road duties. RF60, V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustration
A 1955 BSA Bantam D3, registration number 471 XUF, grey and cream. The Bantam D3 featured a larger 150cc engine and plunger rear suspension, both of which were great advantages over the original D1.

During the refurbishment the frame and tin work were resprayed, the engine was rebuilt by a previous owner, the wheels have new rims and spokes, the exhaust was rechromed, new tyres and cables were fitted as were numerous other items. Now handsomely finished in the more unusual grey and cream livery this Bantam will require final commissioning.

A 1965 Honda CB92E Benly Super Sports, registration number CRU 569C, frame number CB92B-33103294, engine number CB92-3103248, silver and red. The 125cc twin CB92 featured a chain driven overhead camshaft, horizontally split crank case, a pressed steel spine frame, leading link front forks and that fantastic engine which delivered 15 bhp, at 10,500 rpm, a huge figure for a 125. This class leading specification offered 250 beating performance and was hugely successful in period and is one of the most desirable early Japanese classics today. This restored example has continuous history from new. It is presented in excellent condition, and has spent the last ten years in the previous owner's sitting room. There is a large history file accompanying the Honda with a detailed log of the restoration contained in a notebook, which was completed in 1997 and cost £3,052 in parts and took approximately 400 hours labour to split and rebuild it, Gold Wing Magazine vol 23 issue number 1 March 1984, where the motorcycle is featured on the front cover, G Wing Winter 1964, original parts lists, a list of previous owners and correspondence. This very well restored and extremely collectible early Honda is worthy of inclusion in any important collection. RF60, V5C, no MOT See illustration

The Ariel returned to the road in 1981 and was subsequently used until 1984, where upon it was put into dry storage.

Maicos are very popular and capable machines in the right hands and this restored example is ready to be used in anger. No accompanying paperwork See illustration
A 1957 BSA M21, registration number UNA 443, frame number BM20S 6626, engine number BM21 7577, black/cream.

A 1966 Gilera Giubileo 150cc 5V Sport Extra, registration number FHJ 511D, yellow with bronze frame. This rare Gilera has formed part of a large private collection. It was last used in 2014, when the vendor informs us that it was running well. It benefits from an engine rebore, with new piston, which still requires further running in a five speed gearbox and alloy wheels. Its last MOT expired in ***May 2013 (not 2015)***, and now will require general fettling and the usual safety checks before passing its new MOT and taking to the road. It is now unfortunately, only reluctantly for sale due to the owner's ill health. V5C, no MOT, tax exempt See illustration

He advises us that the Velocette is generally in good condition, but the engine is now in need of a rebuild with either a re-bore or re-sleeve. V5, V5C, no MOT, tax exempt See illustration

A 1912 Pierce 3½ HP single, registration number LF 2227, frame number 4447, engine number 4284, dark blue. Pierce Arrow are normally associated with the manufacture of luxury cars in the first quarter of the 20th century. Their cars were of the highest quality and appealed to the same clientele as other prestige marques, such as Rolls Royce. Their motorcycles followed the same line and were both innovative and made to the highest standard. The Motorcycle Division was started by Percy Pierce, (George's son) in 1909. The first model, an inline four, was joined by a more conventional side valve single in 1910, both models featured the large diameter frame, which incorporated both petrol and oil tanks. Production of both models would cease in 1913, with the company going into receivership. The single cylinder example Charterhouse has the pleasure of offering for auction is a 1912 model with V belt drive, magneto ignition and two speed gearbox. Originally bought to England by a serving Canadian soldier, who would see service in WWI. The Pierce was subsequently registered in 1922, and the first recorded keeper was a Ronald Leslie Carpenter of Petersfield. There are two further keepers recorded in the RF60, both of which resided in the Hampshire area. The current vendor's family have owned the Pierce since 1996. An older restoration, which still presents very well, but is in need of some re-commissioning, since the machine has been stored for a few years. This previous Pioneer Run participant, is now reluctantly for sale due to the vendor's old age and faltering health. RF60, V5C, MOT and tax exempt See back cover and other illustrations

V5C, no MOT See illustration
A 1970 Kawasaki H1, registration number is BHY 366H, red. Introduced in 1969, Kawasaki's H1 500cc two stroke screamer would send the motorcycling world into a spin. The 500cc motor produced 60 bhp (ten more than a GP Manx Norton) and was capable of 100 mph straight out of the crate. This particular H1 has been in the vendor's care since 2004 and there were five previous keepers. A genuine UK supplied bike with points ignition which was sold to the first owner by Russells, a Kawasaki dealership in Loughborough, Leicestershire. Originally registered on a L suffix, which the vendor believes was due to the motorcycle remaining unsold in the showroom for a couple of years. He has retrospectively registered the Kawasaki on a correct H suffix for the year. During his ownership the Kawasaki has been restored with an overhauled engine, having relined barrels on a standard bore, the barrels, heads and crank cases have been vapour-blasted, the frame and all other black parts have been powder coated, the tank, side and engine covers were resprayed by Race Paint of Eastwood, Nottingham, the front fork stanchions were rechromed, as was the majority of the brightwork, and the exhaust and rear shocks were replaced with reproduction items.

V5C, no MOT See illustration
A 1948 Matchless G3L, registration number OSL 164, frame number 25921, engine number 48/G3L/7572B, black. The G3 found great favour with the British Army during WWII and by the time hostilities ceased in 1945 over 63,000 had been supplied. Post WWII the G3 would continue to be very successful on civvy street and would establish itself as one of the finest 350 trials bikes of the period. This handsome machine has been with the vendor since 2004 and was last MOTd in August 2013 (without any advisories) and has seen little use since. The vendor advises us that the motorcycle is running well but would benefit with the usual checks before any extended use due to the recent inactivity.

No accompanying paperwork See illustration

With 7,500 miles from new, this beautifully presented middleweight Ducati has been cherished by its four owners. The mileage can be verified by a run of MOTs ***(not continuous)*** and a comprehensive (mostly Ducati) dealer history. From the last MOT it can be seen that the motorcycle has covered less than 200 miles in the last four years. Offered for auction with the original warranty and service booklet, owner's handbook, world dealer guide, expired MOTs, receipts, Moto Cinelli pre-delivery inspection certificate and Datatool certificate. V5C, MOT to April 2016 See illustration

One of only 107 Vincent Rapide Tourers exported to America, finished in the distinctive Chinese red. The export of these large V-twin Vincents came to fruition with a collaboration between Vincent and Indian. Post WWII Indian needed a machine to compete with the Harley-Davidson OHV bikes. The partnership with Vincent worked well, and enabled Indian to maintain a position in the market place through its 2000 dealerships. The export model Rapide differs in detail from its European sibling, with high handle bars, a 19 inch front and an 18 inch rear wheel with wider section tyres, and the eye catching Chinese red livery. RC 6294 was purchased by the vendor in 2005 as a restoration project. It had been with the previous owner for approximately 20 years. Over the next four years the Vincent was rebuilt to a concours standard and has only covered 144 miles since. Testament to the high standard of presentation, RC 6294 has graced the front cover of The Classic Motorcycle magazine (November 2012), which features a four page article on the bike. Accompanying the Vincent are copies of the works order form, number 23293, despatched check sheet, completion note, American affidavit of sale and two purchase receipts, a copy of The Classic Motorcycle featuring the Vincent, the first MOT after the restoration in 2009 and general information. This beautifully restored Vincent is only for sale, so the vendor can concentrate on other machines in his collection. Surely now this rare motorcycle would be worthy of inclusion in any important collection. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See front cover and other illustrations
