Registration No: LXY 266 Frame No: 34136 MOT: ExemptPart of a private collectionA good restoration of the modelA very early 6T ThunderbirdCurrent V5C on fileTo capture the American market, the 6T Thunderbird used a variant of the earlier Speed Twin's parallel-twin engine, bored out from 500cc to 650cc to give the added horsepower American customers demanded. The concept of enlarging the Speed Twin was dreamt-up by managing director Edward Turner. The 6T Thunderbird was launched publicly at Montlhéry near Paris, where a trio of production bikes were ridden around the circuit averaging 92 mph over a distance of 500 miles. All three machines were ridden to the circuit and then back to the Meriden factory. Triumph obtained further lasting publicity with Marlon Brando's 1953 motion picture The Wild One, in which he rode a mildly customised 1950 6T Thunderbird. On offer is an early Triumph 6T Thunderbird that was restored by the previous owner to a very high standard and which is holding up well. Purchased by the late vendor in 2007, to form part of his Triumph collection, he used it sparingly to keep it in nice order. Not ridden for some time, the Thunderbird will need some light recommissioning. It is being offered with a current V5C..

Registration No: T.B.A Frame No: T.B.A MOT: ExemptA rare survivor todayNot many known to existRestored some time agoA nice VMMC eligible machineAble to trace their roots back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries respectively, two of Birmingham’s most respected manufacturing concerns merged in 1889 to form the Alldays & Onions Pneumatic Engineering Co Ltd. A major supplier to the local railway, blacksmith and foundry industries, Alldays & Onions diversified into motorcars during 1898 and motorcycles five years later. The company’s first two-wheelers were marketed under the Alldays Matchless moniker until 1915 when the ‘other’ Matchless took exception. Unveiled in 1914 for the following moder year, the less contentiously named Alldays & Onions Allon was a well specified lightweight machine that sported a distinctive triangular tank. Powered by a 269cc two-strole sidevalve single-cylinder engine, it utilised belt-drive and could be specified with two gears.On offer is an Alldays & Onions Allon machine that was restored some time ago by a previous keeper. It was purchased by the late owner to form part of his private collection of machines and this would fit into a lightweight Vintage section. Not used since ownership, it will need some light recommissioning before use. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: SVR 982W Frame No: JS1PK11A3B2100018 MOT: ExemptA good example of a Suzuki PE 400XRestored to a good standardBeen on display in a shopA current V5C on fileThe "Pure Enduro" series of off-road racing motorcycles ran from 1977 through to 1984 in engine displacements from 175cc up to 400cc. All engines were case-reed valve, air-cooled, two-stroke and single-cylinder with plain steel bores. Lubrication was provided via 20:1 pre-mix. These were directly related to the Suzuki RM series (Racing Model) range of motocross racers.This 1981 Suzuki PE 400X was imported into the UK in 2018, with a Nova certificate on file. Restored by its previous keeper shortly thereafter, the motorcycle was little used prior to entering the current ownership during which time it had been in shop display.

Registration No: UCA946D Frame No: KF020930 MOT: ExemptRare in the UK 90cc Disc Valve singleStill fitted with its original tyresVJMCC dating letter and a V5CBridgestone is a Japanese company more famous for producing tyres, but between 1952 and 1970 they made a range of two-stroke motorcycles. Like many manufacturers, they initially made power-assisted bicycles but soon moved on to quite technically-advanced products that in some ways were ahead of their time. The impressive technical specification and quality materials used resulted in the machines being more expensive compared to other manufacturers’, with most of the output going to the USA. Production was stopped in 1970 when it was rumoured that the other Japanese manufacturers threatened to stop buying tyres from Bridgestone if they continued to be seen as opposition. Very few bikes came to Britain so they are a rare sight at vintage events and rarely come on the market. This Bridgestone BS90 Deluxe, being offered at no reserve, is presented in very original condition with the speedometer showing a credible 2,398 miles and still wearing what looks to be its first set of tyres. Unusually, Bridgestone had a third identification number as well as the normal frame and engine numbers, this example’s 'Serial Plate No.' being 17G011618. The vendor has had it running with a view to undertaking a full restoration at a later date but has now decided to move it on. Bridgestones are few and far between and always make an interesting project. Supplied with a VJMC dating letter and a current V5C. More images to follow.

Registration No: XHJ 579N Frame No: 371207841 MOT: ExemptDisplaying 15,149 milesReported to be in 'good running order'Accompanied by a V5C Registration DocumentWhile the Yamaha XS500 may not boast the same street credibility as its larger counterpart, the XS 650. The engine was an air-cooled twin, four-stroke. The XS500C was the revamped-for-1976 model and came with something resembling more style and better durability. The first models had some problems with warping valve seats, so later cylinder heads were changed to round exhaust ports to help the heat dissipate.Offered here is an attractive and well presented ‘wire wheeled’ XS500. The odometer displays with an indicated 15,149 miles and is reported to be in 'good running order'. The vendor advises the machine will require a check-over prior to use. It is accompanied by a V5C Registration Document. For more information, please contact: Stewart Parker info@handh.co.uk 07836 346875

At its début, the new version arrived with a 790cc parallel-twin engine, with the higher-specification T100 receiving an 865cc engine in 2005. The Bonneville Black was produced from 2004 to 2008. A variation on the base model with Black paint, it saw the introduction of the black engine covers which would be used across the family from later in 2004, except on the Speedmaster, SE and T100. The 865cc Bonneville competed directly with the Harley-Davidson 883, with Motor Cycle News declaring that the "Triumph Bonneville is unquestionably the better motorcycle. The handling is more than respectable, the brakes markedly better and, of course, it’s British." On offer is a real rider's machine that can be used straight away for the rest of the summer. It shows signs of light use with 13,642 miles on the clock from new. We have been advised that it runs very well. It is being offered with a current V5C registration document.

Registration No: N536 SMY Frame No: KE12385 MOT: June 2025Moto Guzzi’s classic big V-twin sports tourerPresented in a good and mainly original conditionSupplied with a new MOT and a current V5CMoto Guzzi - which was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps - survives today as Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer with a continuous production record. After mainly producing single-cylinder designs for their road bikes, Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger-capacity bikes and the venerated transverse shaft-drive vee-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design, with the sporty Le Mans models becoming among the most sought-after bikes of the 1970s. The 1100 Sport was the natural successor to the Le Mans, matching its lazy torquey engine with more up-to-date frame components such as WP rear shock and Brembo brakes, developed by Dr. John Wittner for his privateer racing efforts in the 1990s ‘Battle of the Twins’ races. This 1996 1100 is presented in mainly original and standard trim, including the stainless silencers. Some sources claim only about 220 of these models were produced in 1996 and, being the last of the carburetted 1100s, they are now quite rare and sought-after. It was imported into Britain in 2016 and bought by the vendor’s family in 2022, at which time it had a recommissioning service including new tyres, battery and carburettor rubbers at 25,193km. Now showing just 25,500km (15,845 miles), it will be put through a new MOT shortly before the auction and comes supplied with a current V5C.PLEASE NOTE: This lot is, in fact, an 1100 Sport model. The catalogue mistakenly describes it as a V11 Sport. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: R11M 86385 MOT: ExemptOriginally owned and raced by Dan Shorey: 'The Banbury Flyer'Matching frame and engine numbersRay Petty engine and gearboxPresent ownership since 2007This 'matching-numbers' Manx was sold new to the Taylor Dow dealership in Banbury, Oxfordshire on 27th April 1960. R11M 86385 was originally owned and campaigned by short circuit racer, Dan Shorey: 'The Banbury Flyer'. It is said Shorey won many races aboard this '500' Manx, not to mention riding it to 9th place in the Manx Grand Prix during its first competitive season.. In 1967, the machine was sold to American racer Lance Weil. Thereafter, it is known to have belonged to prominent collector Anthony Blight, Mr W. Page and American former racer Ron Hazlehurst. Winner of the 1948 Junior Clubman's TT on a Velocette, the latter had the Norton shipped Stateside. . Years later, while working in California, the current owner stumbled upon the neglected machine sitting in a shop. Repatriating it to the UK, he has enjoyed showcasing the ex-Shorey Manx at classic events throughout the UK. Under the expert tuning of Manx specialist Ray Petty, the engine received a Bill Stuart modification to the main bearing collar. Additionally, the SU float chamber was installed to prevent fuel frothing—an alteration well-recognized by enthusiasts. The gearbox is a five-speed Petty PGT. Aside from the fuel tank’s paint, the machine remains very original. Accompanying period photographs and articles feature Dan Shorey, there's a CD of images, and the CRMC Machine (Group 1, Period 1) Registration Certificate.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: N/AInteresting 'barn find' classic racer projectBased on a mid-1970s Suzuki GT250AScitsu tacho and works style bodyworkBy the 1960s the Suzuki name had become known around the world due to its success in Grand Prix racing with its works bikes helping push two-stroke engine development forward. Two-stroke engines formed the basis of Suzuki’s road bike range with models like the T20 Super Six and T500 setting new standards for performance and reliability and forming the basis of the TR250 and TR500 factory race bikes. The TRs were heavily based on the contemporary road models so many people made their own replicas, very often incorporating a few tuning parts and specifications from the official racers with the T500 becoming the mainstay for privateer riders right up to Grand Prix level.This 'barn find' classic race bike, being offered without reserve, is based on a mid-1970s GT250A model that’s unfortunately from a deceased estate, so not much is known of its history. The bike looks to have a standard frame that has been de-lugged and braced, alloy rims and a 380/550 front end with Hagon shocks at the rear. The carbs look bigger than standard and it is fitted with a Scitsu tachometer, a steering damper and a full 1960s works-style fiberglass fairing, tank and seat. An interesting project to either recommission as a race bike or form the basis of a TR250 road bike replica.

Registration No: RE19 YTS Frame No: WB10J210XKZ739105 MOT: NoneIn stunning conditionVery low mileage 1,800Well looked after machineCurrent V5C on fileThe BMW R nineT has been produced by BMW Motorrad since 2014. It is a large roadster marketed by BMW to custom builders and enthusiasts as a "blank canvas for customising." The nineT has several design elements contrived to allow the bike to be easily modified, such as separate engine and chassis wiring harnesses and minimal bolts attaching the rear subframe, tail lights, and headlight. All variations have an air- and oil-cooled oilhead flat twin, or boxer, 1170cc engine, which has the inlet manifold at the rear of the cylinders and the exhaust at the front. The Racer S version of the nineT was produced in a handsome café racer style with a small fairing and white paint with red and blue graphics. This 2019 BMW R nineT Racer S has had just one previous keeper from new. The vendor purchased it from CMC Motorcycles in Cannock for his private collection, as it was completely different from his other machines. Sparingly ridden during the current ownership, it is nevertheless said to start ‘on the button’. The BMW has been fitted with a datatool, and is also supplied with the owner's handbook, supplementary handbook, tools, keys, and a current V5C.

Registration No: ALG 7W Frame No: 1E80401242 MOT: ExemptClassic Yamaha RD two-stroke twin layoutSupplied with a spare set standard exhaustIncludes a box of spare parts and a V5C The Yamaha Motor Co was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation. The first bike produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German-made DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion, this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. The latter proved to be an immediate success in sporting events starting a long tradition of achievement that goes on to this day in Moto GP. The arrival of the RD range in the seventies cemented Yamaha's reputation for high-performance air-cooled two-stroke twins ranging from 100cc to 400cc with the RD200 proving to be many future enthusiasts’ first taste of motorcycling.This Yamaha RD200 twin is from a deceased estate so unfortunately not much is known of its history. Offered in classic Red and White race team block pattern colours, it has obviously been restored at some point in its life, keeping a good degree of originality, and comes supplied with a spare set of what look to be re-chromed silencers, a spare sticker kit, a box of spare parts, a DVLA registration record and a current V5C. Not run for a while, but the engine turns over on the kickstarter. It's an older restoration so in need of some recommissioning.

Registration No: EVO 515V Frame No: CB750G1013924 MOT: ExemptGenuine limited edition Honda modelLots of restoration work was carried outAttention to detail on the restorationCurrent V5CThe celebrated CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern-day superbike. The Phil Read Replica was a limited-edition model built to celebrate Read's victory in the first ever Formula One race at the Isle of Man TT in 1977. This 1979 Honda CB750 Phil Read Replica was purchased by the vendor as a part-restored machine in 2019/20. He set about checking the engine over first and found it to be in very good condition. All the wheels were refurbished, and all the brake callipers were completely overhauled with all-new seals, pistons, and brake lines. The carburettors were completely stripped, checked and renovated using all-new seals, jets and needles. All the panels and tank were treated to a professional respray by Pageant including all the lining and decals. This is a very good example of a Phil Read Replica and might well be one of the best on offer at the moment. It is all up and running, although it has spent a short time out of use. It is offered with a current V5C only. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: 451 XUF Frame No: MK10947 MOT: ExemptA very early EMC Split SingleRestored to a good standardNot many have survivedCurrent V5C on fileDr Josef Ehrlich arrived in the UK from Austria during 1937, his interest was centred on the development and potential of the two-stroke engine. In its pre-war guise his Split Single two-stroke displaced 240cc. The Split Single powerplant, which featured a cast iron barrel with alternating deep and shallow fins was offered in two guises, the S with a Pilgrim oil pump providing the engine lubrication and the T which relied on the petrol system of lubrication. Both versions employed a rigid duplex frame with a cast bronze backbone and steering head fitted with Dowty oleo-pneumatic forks. 7-inch brakes were employed with two drums gracing the front wheel. A Burman four-speed gearbox provided the transmission which was characterised by a high overall ratio in the interests of fuel economy.Although technically interesting, the machine failed to sell in large numbers and examples are extremely rare today. This 1947 EMC 350 Split Single was acquired by the late owner for his collection in 2007. Drawn to its rarity and the fact it was built in the UK, he was unable to unearth any prior history. The EMC has not been started or ridden for several years and so will require some light recommissioning before use. It is offered with a current V5C.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: AAu 318 MOT: ExemptA very rare Aberdale autocycleRestored many years agoNot registered on DVLAAccompanying paperwork on file Founded in 1919, the Aberdale Cycle Company focused on producing high-volume, popular bicycles. After World War II, the demand for economical, personal motorized transport surged. Leveraging Bown's motorcycle manufacturing expertise, the company introduced the Aberdale Autocycle in March 1947. This autocycle, powered by a 98cc Villiers Junior de Luxe engine, featured a custom toolkit and a Smiths speedometer, distinguishing it from other machines of the era. By 1948, fewer than 2,000 autocycles had been produced. This 1947 Aberdale Autocycle is a rare survivor today with only a handful ever being made. It was restored by the previous owner around 1985-6. Sadly, the bike’s original registration number had been lost by then due to the DVLA not being notified of its continued existence during the late 1970s / early 1980s. Not run for the last eighteen months, it will need recommissioning and new tyres. Some accompanying paperwork is on file.

Registration No: ETS 870W Frame No: 089949 MOT: ExemptOne of the famous Ducatis of the dayIn its striking Black and Gold liveryA well-known Ducati with Motori Di MarinoCurrent V5CFollowing Paul Smart's success at the 1972 Imola 200 Formula 750 race aboard a brace of specially prepared desmodromic V-twin, there were demands from the public for a replica. Aside a limited run of homologation specials; fortunately, in 1975 Ducati introduced the 900SS, a machine that shared the same DNA whilst being built in greater numbers. It adopted the square case 860cc engine whilst retaining the 750SS cycle. The Silver and Blue livery worn by the first examples changed to a Black and Gold livery for 1978 which continued until 1980.Considered by many to be last of the pure Taglioni-designed Ducatis, this 900SS. This very handsome prepared machine has graced the vendors collection for the last 9 years, jury that time it has been enjoyed, serviced by the very creditable Motori Di Marino in Chillington, West Sussex, who incidentally have known this machine for a very long time and has worked on it through a couple of different owners. The Ducati presents very well with a fresh code of Jet Black and striking Gold lining when the vendor first purchased it (receipt on file). The Ducati had an interim service in 2021. Used sparingly until 2023. Still in wonderful condition and would make a great new addition to the Ducati collector. It comes complete with a current V5C, purchase receipt, service invoices and a host of old mot certificates. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not seen MOT: ExemptFully rebuilt at great expenseA striking trials machineOne for the collectionSuzuki's first dedicated trials bike, the RL250, had appeared in1973, but failed to make a significant impression. Fortunately for Suzuki, Graham Beamish, Suzuki's UK motocross importer recognised the potential of the engine and commissioned Mick Whitlock to develop a Reynolds 531 frame to house the engine. The result announced during 1975, proved to be an instant success with 1200 examples finding buyers. Development over the next four years saw a greater percentage of British built components being used and detail revisions to the frame. For 1978 a 325cc version was made available to the public having previously been the preserve of the works riders.This very early Mk3 Suzuki Beamish has been fully restored to a very high standard by the current vendor. The seller has been informed that the bike might perhaps be within the first 10 Mk3 examples built. Everything has been completely stripped, checked, refurbished or replaced where necessary . There are no accompanying documents with this machine. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: G254 EOP Frame No: ZXT00B024302 MOT: 20.06.25Kawasaki’s late 1980s 1000cc sports tourerFitted with a Micron 4 into 1 Carbon exhaustIncludes top box, some spares and a V5CAfter taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Company, Kawasaki began manufacturing motorcycles under their own name in the early sixties, first continuing development of the K1 BSA A10 copy but soon moving on to build a reputation for high performance two-stroke twins and triples. In the early 1970s the four-stroke four-cylinder Z1 was initially developed as a 750cc to compete with the new Honda SOHC 750 but Kawasaki held the bike back until it could be increased in capacity to set a new benchmark for superbike performance. Finally released in 1973, with its DOHC 900cc engine offering a top speed of over 130mph it easily became the fastest mass-produced bike in the world. This started a long tradition of high-performance Kawasaki muscle bikes with the ZX10 of the late 1980s again having the title of the fastest bike on the road in its day. The ZX10 being offered here is presented in mostly original condition fitted with a top box and carrier together with a Micron 4-into-1 exhaust with a Carbon end can. It comes supplied with a pair of spare wheels, an MOT until August, and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

A key feature of the ST70 is the T-bone pressed-steel frame that distinguishes it from the Gorilla and the Z series. As a general description, the ST-series bikes have a bench-style saddle, small fat tyres, and folding handlebars. They have an air-cooled four-stroke engine with either a three-speed semi-automatic transmission with a centrifugal clutch or a four-speed manual gearbox, with a power output at 6hp and a top speed of about 45mph. Untaxed since 1976, this 1972 Honda ST70 was recently found in a lock-up with the BMW R80 and Kawasaki Z900 (lots 296 and 297). In very original condition for its age and mostly complete, the engine turns over with some compression. Ideal for restoration or sympathetic fettling, it could be put back on the road in its original condition. Sold strictly as viewed and with no documentation, the original registration number is on the DVLA database, so it might be able to be reclaimed For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: 312 UYO Frame No: 224280 MOT: ExemptBeautifully restored Heinkel PerleGreat attention to the restorationA must-have for the autocycle collectorCurrent V5C on fileFollowing WWII, Heinkel was prohibited from manufacturing aircraft and instead built bicycles, motor scooters and the Heinkel microcar although the company eventually returned to aircraft production in the mid-1950s. Heinkel built the Perle moped from 1954 to 1957, a sophisticated cycle with a cast alloy unit frame, rear suspension, a fully enclosed chain with part of the chain enclosure integral with the swing arm, and interchangeable wheels. This high level of sophistication came at a high cost. As with most mopeds, it had a two-stroke engine with a displacement of 50cc that operated on a mixture of gasoline and lubrication oil. Approximately twenty-seven thousand were sold.This very unusual Heinkel Perle has been restored at great cost and must be one of the best on offer today. The attention to detail on the restoration by the previous owner must have been a labour of love. This would make a great addition to a cycle motor collector. Part of a collection of small machines the late vendor was gathering it’s not been used for a while and has been up on a platform in the collection. Some light recommissioning would be advised before use. It is offered with a current V5C, sales brochure and booklets.

A hallmark of all Marston Sunbeams was theRegardless of their Model designation, Marston Sunbeams were characterised by their superb fit and finish with ‘MB 236’ being no exception. Part of the vendor’s collection since 1991, he describes it as being in ‘excellemt overall’ condition both cosmetically and mechanically. The Light Tourer’s short stroke 500cc engine was famously free-revving and coupled to a 3-speed gearbox it offered impressive performance, handling and flexibility, apparently exploited to the full by the vendor during the Isle of Man Centenary celebrations! Notably, an engine of the type fitted in ‘MB’ still holds the accolade as being the last ‘side valve’ to win a TT race. Although ‘MB’ has proved to be a very reliable machine during the vendor’s ownership, he advises a routine check-over before use. ‘MB 236’ offers a good opportunity to acquire an excellent example of a much respected and lively 'flat tanker' with outstanding sporting credentials. Paperwork includes V5C and MOTs dating back to 1991 etc. For more information, please contact: Stewart Parker info@handh.co.uk 07836 346875

Registration No: BF 7314 Frame No: 6031 MOT: ExemptOwnership since 2015Pioneer Certificate on fileSidecar fitted in 2016 with a subsequent extensive restorationUnder various ownerships, the Royal Enfield marque has continued through to the present day, making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. Though built by the Enfield Cycle Co, the products were marketed from the early days as Royal Enfields and they became some of the most popular motorcycles of the 20th century.

In 1980 they launched the R80G/S, the initials standing for Gelande (off-road) and Strasse (street) becoming the first large capacity multi-purpose bike and at a stroke creating the now popular 'Adventure Bike' market. The bike went on to dominate the Paris Dakar rally in the '80s and in its latest incarnation is one of the best-selling bikes in Europe.This R100GS is presented in good original condition showing a credible 34,800 miles on its speedo. It comes fitted with lots of nice extras including a full pannier/top box framework, heated grips, sat nav, Puig touring screen, engine protection bars, spot lights, BMW tacho, BMW clock and even its original tool kit.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 39M00473* MOT: N/ANicely restored mid 1980s Montesa 237cc trials modelIdeal for competing in twin shock, air-cooled eventsNever road registered so no documentsMontesa was formed in Barcelona 1944 by Pedro Permanyer and Francisco Xavier ‘Paco’ Bultó, with their first model based on a French Motobécane. They soon began to produce their own engines and saw the advantage of competing in sports events to promote the marque. Bultó designed a 125cc roadster, which was tested in many of the trials and off-road events that were popular in Spain at the time, and this model went on to enter the 1951 International Six Days Trial ridden by Bultó and G. Cavestany. In 1958, chief designer Bultó left, starting his own company under the Bultaco brand name, beginning many years of fierce competition between the two companies. Together with another Spanish firm, Ossa, they went on to dominate trials events in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, with Montesa winning numerous world championships. This Cota 242 has been restored by its enthusiast owner, maintaining a good degree of originality. He carried out a full engine overhaul including the crankshaft, piston and gearbox, with all bearings and seals replaced, the Nicasil bore replated and the engine cases powder-coated. The wheels have been rebuilt with alloy rims and fitted with new tyres, and all the cosmetics have been refinished. Displayed since the rebuild, it's a very attractive bike to look at and once recommissioned would make a competitive mount for competing in twin-shock and air-cooled classic trials events. It looks to have only had off-road use in the past so there are no documents included. *The engine and frame number are both hard to read under a thick layer of paint but appear to both be 39M 000473.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: T120CDU7802 MOT: ExemptConsigned as a project or for sparesA project or to be used for sparesTriumph is one of the most revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established as a bicycle-maker in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycles, beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937, the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released, heralding a range of Triumph twins that would go on to epitomise British motorcycles of the post-war years. Many believe the T120 Bonneville, first seen in late 1958, to represent the zenith of the classic British vee-twin, and it is now one of the most sought-after bikes of the era. Nicely presented, this T120 is reported to be in good running order with a ‘very quiet’ engine. It is supplied with a NOVA number on file as well as evidence of importation into the UK from the US. Please note – The vendor has made an application to the Triumph Club as part of the DVLA registration process and the club have rejected the frame number stating it may not be an authentic factory stamping, and on this basis has consigned the bike as a project or for spares without reserve.

Registration No: AHK 26 Frame No: 65771 MOT: ExemptVilliers engine has been lostA project - still registered with the DVLABuff logbook presentCoventry-Eagle was a British bicycle and motorcycle manufacturer. Established as a Victorian bicycle-maker, the company began under the name of Hotchkiss, Mayo & Meek. The name was changed to Coventry Eagle in 1897 when John Meek left the company. By 1898, they had begun to experiment with motorised vehicles and by 1899 had produced their first motorcycle. The motorcycles were hand-built with a high standard of finish. Coventry-Eagle motorcycles proved reliable and by the Great War the range was utilising Villiers and JAP engines. First registered on 12th April 1932, 'AHK 26' was stripped for restoration by the current keeper around 30 years ago. Regrettably offered for sale due to health reasons, the Silent Superb has formed part of the vendor’s collection of classic cars and motorcycles but is believed to have lost its Villiers engine during the restoration process and its whereabouts are unknown. Still registered with the DVLA and provided with its buff logbook, this rare machine is to be sold with no reserve.

During its ten years of production the Commando was popular all over the world and won the Motor Cycle News 'Machine of the Year' award for 5 years from 1968-1972, with around 60,000 being made in total. Many were converted into production racers back in the day with firms like Norvil producing engine tuning parts and bodywork.This Commando started life in 1971 as a standard 750 but over the years a fortune has been spent to convert it into a Norvil style production race replica with a 920cc big bore top end. The bike comes fitted with a race style fuel tank and seat unit together with a top half fairing, Norvil rearsets, alloy rims and Norvil twin disc front brakes with floatingdisc and Lockheed callipers.

Harley’s large capacity cruisers have been widely imitated but rarely, if ever, bettered in terms of image and prestige. The Sportster range has been produced continuously since 1957, powered by the classic air-cooled V-twin engine in a nice simple chassis and the model has formed the basis of many custom specials over the years.

Registration No: HFD 168V Frame No: CB750G1013436 MOT: ExemptPurchased new by the current ownerA mostly original Honda BritainCorrect numbersCurrent V5CColin Seeley, a sidecar racer and motorcycle dealer, created some special edition road bikes. His collaboration with Honda resulted in the production of a limited number of specially-finished motorcycles known as the Honda Britain or CB750SS. These bikes were based around the Honda CB750 F2 engine but featured a custom chassis designed by Seeley. The goal was to create a lighter, better-handling, and more visually appealing motorcycle than the standard CB750 four. The Phil Read Replica, a TT Formula 1 race-styled roadster, was one of the notable models produced during this collaboration. This 1979 Honda Britain was purchased by its first and only owner on 2nd August 1979 from Willenhall Motorcycle Centre, Wolverhampton. The owner spotted an advertisement in one of the motorcycle papers at the time and rang Willenhall Motorcycles to see if they could order one for him. Several weeks later he was lucky, as they could get hold of one at the cost of £2,018.00. The current vendor used the Honda on many trips to the Isle of Man for TT week. As time went on, it was used less and less and his brother-in-law started to use it on the occasional sunny day. Last used in 2011, it has been stored since then. It has been run from time to time to keep the oil moving around. The silencer rotted out very quickly and as there was not a replacement available at the time, so a new stainless one was fabricated by a family member. In need of recommissioning before placing back on the road, it comes complete with a current V5C, a handbook and one key.

With the backing of his family, wealthy from cattle ranching in Argentina, Vincent acquired the trademark, goodwill and remaining components for £450, renaming the new company Vincent HRD. Initially, motorcycles were sold under the HRD brand name, using their own chassis with propiatory engines but in 1934 two new engines were developed, a 500cc single and a 1,000 cc vee twin. Always the innovator, Vincent now had full control over his products and began introducing many design features that proved to be way ahead of their time such as cantilever rear suspension. In 1949 in order to stop any confusion with Harley Davidson (HD) in the USA, they began to use simply the 'Vincent' name on their products. The 1000cc V-twin was the fastest motorcycle in the world at the time and with some astute marketing become the bike everyone aspired to own, the Rapides and the Black Shadows have become some of the most desirable and iconic bikes of the era.This good looking Series C Black Shadow has been part of a private collection for the last 23 years and has been ridden and enjoyed by the vendor, including a trip around Europe. The bike has some desirable modifications including 12v electrics powering an all important electric starter, BTH magneto, Alton dynamo and even some neat little indicators. The chassis features an easier to use centre stand and interestingly the front brake plates and cooling fins are Lightning specification aluminium as well as the iconic 5" 150mph speedo. A lot of Vincents have become static display pieces over the years but this Shadow has been set up to be ridden and not just looked at. The fitting of an electric starter kit, together with the other subtle modifications, makes the bike a lot easier and more practical to use in modern day road conditions. The bike started and ran on the button when being photographed and comes supplied with some old MOTs and current V5C.Sale room notice.PLEASE NOTE. On running the bike we noticed an oil leak around the top of the engine/oil tank area that will need looking into.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: HB300062 MOT: ExemptFully faired version with only 58 producedHonda CB1100F DOHC 4 cylinder engineSupplied with Japanese docs and a NOVA NumberBimota is a manufacturer of exclusive sports motorcycles that epitomise Italian flare and engineering excellence. Founded in Rimini in 1973 by Valerio Bianchi, Giuseppe Morri, and Massimo Tamburini, the company name is derived from the first two letters of each of the three founders’ surnames. Because of the poor state of frame design in the 1970s, Bimota concentrated initially on building high-quality motorcycle chassis around existing engines and chassis kits for road and race bikes, basing their bikes on the top models from Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki. As standard frame design improved Bimota offered exclusive limited edition handmade bikes for riders who wanted to stand out from the crowd.The HB3 was Bimota’s third design based around a Honda engine, in this case the CB1100F DOHC air-cooled four cylinder motor. The styling was by one of Bimota’s founders Massimo Tamburini who later penned the iconic Ducati 916 and it is thought that only 101 HB3s were made, 43 half-faired and 58 fully-faired. This HB3 is offered in good original and standard condition. It has recently been imported from Japan. Not yet registered, it has been duty paid and comes with a NOVA number plus the official Japanese de-reg docs (including the translation needed should it be UK registered).

In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic vee-twin bevel-drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. The unfaired Monster began as a styling exercise in 1992, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, and it took time to convince the management at Ducati to build it. The model became an immediate success and has gone down in history as the bike that saved Ducati due to its popularity and cheap development costs, with over 300,000 having been produced. This 1997 Monster 900 has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection for the last five years and has been his go-to bike for weekend runs. It is supplied in mostly standard condition, fitted with a Puig sports flyscreen and carbon-covered end cans. A well-equipped bike as standard, with Brembo brake callipers gripping a recent EBC front disc, together with upside-down front forks, one gets the character of a Ducati in a fairly simple package. The bike is fitted with a rare instrument cluster that incorporates a Rizom clock and will come with a fresh MOT, completed just prior to the auction, and a current V5C.

The new machine utilised the 88's cycle parts housing a revised engine with a swept volume of 596cc (resulting from dimensions of 62 x 82mm). Regarded by many as being one of the finest motorcycles of the decade, the 99 was endowed with the best handling in its class, although it did not have the outright performance of the Triumph.Reportedly subject to a concours standard restoration by one of the vendor’s friends prior to its acquisition some fifteen years ago, the Norton is said to be holding up well having been sparingly used for club events and evening meets etc. The paintwork and chrome remain presentable but the ‘Domi’ has not been rideen for a short while and so will require recommissioning before use.

The original Suzuki RV125 had a 5-speed gearbox and an air-cooled 123cc single-cylinder 2-stroke engine. The RV range also included 90cc and 50cc machines. A quirky ‘dual purpose’ machine, it was built with capability for both road and off-road use.

In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released commencing a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the various Bonneville, Tiger and Trophy models to be the ultimate expression of the classic British vertical twin with the late 1960s pre oil-in-frame variants representing the peak of Triumph development. The company supplied many police forces around the world with bikes, especially in the Commonwealth, with some of these making their way back to 'civvy street'. This Tiger 100 is thought to have started life as a police bike, with the engine number reading T100P H67211. Returned to standard specification at some point, it joined the vendor’s private collection some ten years ago. Affectionately known as 'Old Bill', the Triumph is said to have been much loved but is now surplus to requirements. The vendor reports that it has been 'a great reliable runner’ during his ownership.

Registration No: T.B.A Frame No: T.B.A MOT: ExemptA rare Motom S48 survivorRestored 6 years agoFrom a private collectionMotom only came into existence in 1947, when Lancia factory engineer Battista Falchetto saw the success of Ducati's Cucciolo 48cc four-stroke auxiliary motor and envisaged a complete motorcycle with a similar engine. Lancia's access to the pressed-steel specialists Farina, plus funding from the factory owner Ernesto Frua soon led to a model called the Motomic, and – despite early problems with reliability – derivative models were soon selling. The fledgling company was further boosted in 1953, when it temporarily recruited Gilera's celebrated designer – Piero Remor. Styling and mechanical details were revised to make the little bike more purposeful, and while the engine still only had 48cc, it put out over 2hp and gave the sort of performance that contemporary British motorcyclists expected from a much larger machine.This Motom S48 is a rare survivor today with its limited production run. The jewel-like four-stroke engine displaces just 48cc. Seemingly well restored in the past, the Italian machine appealed to the late vendor as an oddity. Not run since joining his collection, it will require recommissioning before use. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

It was a very primitive affair with a 2¼hp engine and a single-lever control. The name did not appear again for several years but surfaced once more at the 1912 Olympia Exhibition as the Monopole Cycle and Carriage Co. of Foleshill, Coventry. Two models were exhibited, similar in type, with 2½hp and 3½hp Precision engines. They both had Saxon forks and direct-belt drive, the larger to a Sturmey-Archer three-speed hub gear. The design and finish were of high quality although the specification was conventional. After the Great War, the two-strokes continued and were joined by four-stroke models with Abingdon and JAP engines and a choice of transmissions. Some sports versions had all-chain drive as standard. The Motor Cycle magazine of 24th November 1921 reported on the marque at the Olympia Exhibition. By this time, it was producing models with Villiers, Abingdon and JAP engines. This 1921 Monopole was first registered in West Hartlepool. Accompanying early driving licences and insurance documents suggest that it soon relocated to London and the stewardship of a Mr Swift. No further history is known until it enters the hands of a Mr. Hunt, who was seeking information on the machine through Bob Currie. It was purchased by the late vendor in early 1989. There is correspondence with the DVLA to retain the original number plate, for which permission was eventually granted. Restored thereafter and used on many vintage events including the Banbury Run, it has not been ridden for a few years and will need light recommissioning. It comes with a current V5C, DVLA paperwork, old insurance documents, and driving licences. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: K852 NTU Frame No: GK75A126529 MOT: None'Variable Valve Control' with a 14K redlineJDM Water Cooled 400cc four cylinderIdeal starting point for an RC164 ReplicaThe Bandit 400V was equipped with a newly developed 4-cylinder 400cc engine featuring a Variable Valve Control system that electronically controlled the opening and lift amount in tune with the engine speed, gear position, and throttle opening to spread out the power delivery from low to high rpms, allowing for an incredible 14'000 RPM redline. Developed mainly for the Japanese domestic market and never officially sold in this country, this c1992 Bandit 400V was imported and registered in the UK in 1997. The engine is actually water cooled but the cylinders are still finned giving the appearance of an air-cooled motor and together with its high rev limit would make an ideal starting point for a 1960s style Honda RC164 or Benelli four cylinder replica project. Just imagine it revving to 14'000 with four open megaphones! The bike has been stood for a few years and will require a battery, carb clean and recommissioning before use, but was fired up last year on a jump pack.Please note: This bike appears on the HPI database in 1998 as a Category D Insurance Loss. The fuel tank is dented and there are scratches to the paintwork on the frame, both expensive items that would have made the bike uneconomical to repair for the insurance company.

Registration No: GYJ 357 Frame No: SD 2623 MOT: ExemptA sort after Ariel VHAA previous older restorationOwned for the last 6 yearsCurrent V5C on fileThe arrival of Val Page as Chief Designer at Ariel in 1925 sparked a turnaround for the Selly Oak firm. By 1930, Page’s Ariel single featured a rear-mounted magneto and a distinctive timing cover. This engine's basic design, although frequently revised, persisted well into the post-war era. In 1932, the sports versions were named Red Hunter and under Page's successor, Edward Turner, they developed into fast and stylish machines. In mid-1946, the Hunters became the first models to include Ariel's new telescopic front fork, and by the following year, they offered the optional Anstey Link plunger rear suspension. This 1952 Ariel VHA 500cc is a much sought-after machine, fitted with an alloy 500cc engine. It is not known when the restoration was completed. The late owner purchased the Ariel for his private collection in 2018. He used it for a short time before laying it up for the last couple of years. In good all-round order, it will require some general checking over before going back on the road. It is offered with a current V5C and a dating certificate confirming its originality.

Registration No: BSV 942 Frame No: YC1078166 MOT: ExemptEarly post-war BSA C10BSA's entry level machineUsed and enjoyed in ownershipCurrent V5C on fileThe little 250cc side-valve C10 entered the BSA catalogue during 1938. The new model featured a single- cylinder engine with coil ignition and a three-speed, hand-change gearbox housed in a rigid frame with girder forks and was graced with a combined fuel and oil tank. With the end of hostilities in 1945, it was among four machines announced to return in August 1945. In 1946, the girder forks were changed for telescopic items and the speedometer moved to the tank. A wonderful early post-war BSA C10 and an unusual model with a speedometer in the tank, this one was restored a few years ago and been in use since. Not much history is known, but it is offered with a current V5C and old MOT certificates. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: WV 4589 Frame No: 4413 MOT: ExemptA nice early Velocette KSSStalled restoration projectIvan Rhodes dating certificateTwo continuation logbooksRenowned for the quality of its products, Velocette was ‘always in the picture’ in international motorcycle racing from the mid-1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles and its legendary, and still unbeaten, record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single-cylinder machine. The KSS featured an overhead camshaft engine that was quite rare in a road bike at the time and formed the basis of the championship-winning KTTs. Here is a great opportunity to purchase a 1934 Velocette KSS project. Sold new by Pike & Co. of Exeter on 23rd December 1933, it was owned by a Mr. Girocot of Shaftsbury, Dorset. It was purchased as a project by the late vendor in 2020 but, like the other machines on offer, he never finished the restoration. Mostly complete but with some parts missing, it appears to have had some engine and gearbox work. The KSS is not on the DVLA database but there are two accompanying old-style logbooks. With the help of the Velocette Owners’ Club, it may be possible to retain the original registration number. Sold strictly as viewed.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: ExemptA very sporty Comet racerPreviously owned by Julian BishopFrom a private collectionNo accompanying paperwork with this lotThe factory specification Vincent Comet was one of four 499cc single models. As well as the sports Comet, Vincent produced a TT racing model, the Comet Special (a TT model with lights) and the standard Vincent Meteor, which shared many of the same cycle parts. The prototype Series A was refined and developed into a production model Series B, but after World War II it was the development of the Series C that represents the ultimate Vincent 500cc single.This 1951 Vincent Comet race machine was previously from the estate of the ultimate all-round motorcyclist, Julian Bishop; the Comet benefits from matching frame and engine numbers. The current vendor purchased the Comet ‘racer’ to go with his Shadow. It is not known what has been done to the engine with regards to performance, but it has been fitted with Greyflash/Lightning-type brake plates with air scoops and there’s a Greyflash-type Albion gearbox. The comet has not been run in recent years but turns-over and will need some light recommissioning before use. There are no documents with this lot.

Registration No: OEG 337P Frame No: Z1F-505690 MOT: ExemptA good basis for a restoration projectMostly complete machineAn iconic 1970s KawasakiKawasaki Heavy Industries is one of the largest corporations in Japan, producing a wide range of products from rolling stock to ships. After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Co., they began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawaski name in the early ’60s, first continuing development of the K1—a near-copy of the BSA A10—but soon moving on to build a reputation for high performance two-stroke twins and triples. In the early '70s, the four-stroke four-cylinder Z1 started to be developed as a 750 to compete with the new Honda SOHC 750, but Kawasaki held the bike back until it could be increased in capacity to set a new benchmark for superbike performance. With its DOHC 900cc engine offering a top speed of over 130mph, it easily became the fastest mass-produced bike in the world, beginning a long line of four-cylinder superbikes of all shapes and sizes. The Z900 A4 succeeded it in 1976. This 1976 Kawasaki Z900 was built at Kawasaki’s Lincoln, Nebraska, factory and was British-registered in 1997 but has been untaxed since 2001. It was recently found in a lock-up where it had been sleeping for many years alongside the BMW R80 and Honda ST70 (lots 297 and 298). The Z900 rolls well and seems to be mostly complete, but some small parts are missing. Sold strictly as viewed and with no documentation. It is on the DVLA database so the number should be able to be reclaimed. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: EFX 134C Frame No: Y26013752 MOT: ExemptFrom a deceased estateVery good restored conditionV5C Registration Document The Yamaha YM1 is a motorcycle produced by Yamaha from 1964 to 1966. It used a 305cc 2-stroke engine. The model shared common parts with the 246cc YDS3 and was virtually identical in all respects with the exception of bore and stroke. The YM1 featured an oil-injection system that fed oil to the carburettor intake, the oil flow increasing as the throttle was opened. This gave the motorcycle sufficient lubrication for the crankshaft, cylinders, connecting rods, and pistons without requiring premixing of the oil and gas and with reduced use of oil. It had a top speed of approximately 100 mph.We are advised this YM1 is from a deceased estate. Showing an indicated 8,269 miles and thought to have benefited from a previous engine overhaul, the bike is reportedly in running order. Said to be in generally very good cosmetic order, the vendor advises us that the Yamaha will nonetheless require checking over / recommissioning prior to use. The YM1 is relatively rare, having been built for only two years and this would be a good opportunity to acquire a nicely presented example. Offered with a V5C Registration Document and a SORN Certificate. For more information, please contact: Stewart Parker info@handh.co.uk 07836 346875

Registration No: HG 7262 Frame No: 98159 MOT: ExemptNice old pre-war Norton ES2Fitted with Manx tank from newContinuation logbook presentOld style V5C on fileFirst introduced into the Norton range in 1928, the ES2 shared much of its running gear with the race-derived CS1 but utilised an overhead valve rather then overhead camshaft engine making for a hardier, less highly strung machine.On offer is a very charming, old warrior of an ES2 that left the Works bounds for an agent in Hebden Bridge. The Norton was ordered with a speedo and, most unusually, a Manx tank. Surviving World War Two, the continuation logbook on file shows that Mr Dawson purchased the bike in 1949 with subsequent keepers including Messrs House, Kirkham and McGrath (the latter taking possession during 1993). Joining the late vendor’s collection in 2003, the ES2 saw scant usage and will therefore require recommissioning prior to hitting the road again. Rather lovely, it’s offered with an old-style V5C, continuation logbook and a certificate from the Science Museum in Swindon.

The marque’s most sought-after models were arguably the late 1950s / early 1960s Gold Star range of 350cc and 500cc singles and the equally rare Rocket Gold Star 650 twin.This is a nicely presented DBD34 Gold Star in touring specification that has been restored to use, fitted with a Mikuni carb, BTH Magneto and Alton Dynamo. According to the BSAOC dating letter, the rolling chassis was despatched to Jack Davies Motorcycles, Shropshire on 1st October 1953 as a ‘touring’ spec. model. Like so many bikes from the era, it somehow lost its original engine and is now fitted with a motor stamped DBD34 GS 7128 C that was originally sent as part of a complete bike to Hap Alzina in California as a 'Special Competition Model' in June 1963. As a 'touring' spec model it comes fitted with higher handlebars and a gearbox stamped 'SC' making it a far easier and more comfortable bike to ride. It has been part of an enthusiast’s private collection of ‘50s and ‘60s classics for the last few years, all stored in a heated garage. Stood for a while, it may need some recommissioning and comes supplied with a BSAOC dating letter and a current V5C.

Registration No: LCL 940A Frame No: A504045 MOT: ExemptA presentable BSA A50Runs and rides wellUnusual colour schemeV5C on fileLaunched in 1962, the 500cc BSA A50 Star was widely exported, notably to the US and Australia, and also became a top seller in Britain. The model was known as the Royal Star in export markets and the Star or Star Twin in Britain. From 1966 it was rebranded the Royal Star for all markets. BSA recognised the need for an updated look that preserved the best features of the A10 but which would expand its appeal still further in the lucrative but competitive US market. Working with Chief Development Engineer Bert Perrigo, they developed the unit-construction Star Twins. On offer is a 1963 BSA A50, which was restored some time ago and has been in use since. During the refurbishment, it was fitted with a twin leading-shoe brake, new wiring harness, fuel tank liner and new Amal monobloc carburettor. The engine and gearbox were overhauled with new pistons, the head was fitted with hardened valve seats, and the electrics were renewed with electronic ignition fitted. We have been informed it is 'running very well and is a joy to ride.' Sadly, not much history is known about the machine, but it does have a current V5C, dating certificate, various invoices for parts, and some old MOT certificates.

With its DOHC 900cc engine offering a top speed of over 130mph, it easily became the fastest mass-produced bike available at the time. Probably the most famous example of the Z1 range was that raced by Eddie Lawson in American Superbike racing, which spawned many replicas over the years. The ZRX1100 Eddie Lawson Replica, launched in the late 1990s, was Kawasaki’s own tribute to the classic look. This striking ZRX has had a recent overhaul including a carburettor clean and refurbishment and new parts including a Black Widow stainless exhaust, tyres, chain, fuel tap, stainless brake hoses, front ABE brake discs and fully-refurbished front callipers with stainless steel pistons, the rear being replaced with a Brembo unit. The rear shocks and front suspension have been serviced and the swinging arm has been powder-coated with new bearings installed, whilst the bodywork has been refinished in Eddie Lawson’s colours by Paul's One-Off Customs with the stripes actually airbrushed on (not applied as stickers). Representing a useable future classic that's still appreciating in value, it is supplied with an owner’s manual and current V5C.

Registration No: SMJ 111W Frame No: 6097191 MOT: NoneA very well maintained Norton RotaryStartright overhauled in 2022Runs superbly and is ready to goAn unusual colour schemeCurrent V5C on fileThe rotary-engined Norton Commander stands as a rare machine in the motorcycle world, with only around 300 units ever produced before the final curtain fell on Norton’s production line due to the Midland Bank shutting down production. With adequate funding, this twin-rotor Wankel-powered machine could have become a benchmark touring motorcycle of its era. Felix Wankel’s ingenious rotary engine design featured a triangular rotor—a marvel of simplicity with remarkably few moving parts. Its high-revving capabilities and near-vibration-free operation made it an engineering marvel. Norton’s version of the rotary engine employed twin rotors, each fed by constant-vacuum SU carburettors. These carburettors drew in the intake charge through a plenum chamber, which served a dual purpose: cooling the engine and optimizing performance. The intake charge first flowed through the finned centre of the rotors, ensuring efficient cooling before igniting the power.This 1989 Norton Rotary Commander has been maintained very well and is a known machine at the famous Startright Company because they extensively overhauled it in 2022, including milling the engine. The Norton has been sparingly used since then but kept in very good order. The unusual colour is reputedly due to a previous owner who worked at a paint shop. The Commander is said to ‘run very well indeed’ and comes with Startright bills and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: DCJ 383 Frame No: YF2524 MOT: ExemptRestored to a good standardA rare machine today in this conditionRecently finished and needs running inA current V5C on fileDouglas motorcycles were manufactured between 1907 and 1957 in Kingswood, Bristol, and were especially known for their twin-cylinder-engined bikes, initially fore and aft and eventually in an across-the-frame layout. This 1932 Douglas D32 Greyhound was purchased by the vendor as a partly-restored project just before lockdown. Work started on it almost straight away, but other machines needed attention as the vendor rides his machines a lot and likes to keep them ready for the next trip out. The restoration was subsequently completed to a very high standard. The metalwork has been beautifully painted and plated and all the running gear, including the engine and gearbox, has been carefully overhauled. A rare model today, it makes a fine sight with its striking chrome petrol tank and its distinctive Clan Douglas tartan. It’s offered with a current V5C and some old invoices for parts and work carried out. It is not known why it was re-registered in 1945, but it is thought its paperwork might have been lost in the war.

It was intended as the "group flagship" and consequently Erling Poppe designed a machine that incorporated many innovative features. The short-stroke, overhead cam, in line twin cylinder engine was mated to a shaft final drive via a four-speed gearbox with an under slung "worm" gear transmitting the drive to the rear wheel. The all alloy engine and gearbox were mounted in a duplex frame equipped with plunger rear suspension, telescopic forks, 16 inch balloon tyres and sprung saddle. However, issues resulted in the models release being delayed until 1947. On offer is the more desirable S7 model of the Sunbeam range. This S7 was purchased by the current owner for his late father, who sadly never got a chance to ride it. Some general restoration work was carried out with the body work, frame and cosmetics being refinished in 2018, Since then it has had an extensive engine rebuild by Foxwood Engineering. The Carb has had a full restoration in 2023 by the Sunbeam Fellowships leading carburetor expert. This S7 just needs commissioning now to give many years of pleasure to a new owner. It is offered complete with a current V5C and sundry receipts for parts. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
