The property of the late John Renwick 1950/1951 Vincent 'Prometheus' 1,248cc Series-C Rapide Sidecar Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. RC7471Engine no. F10AB/1/7002•Highly successful Vincent racing outfit•Stellar performance•Built, raced, and maintained by John RenwickIn 1982, just a few years after John Renwick turned his back on modern sidecar racing following the FIM's 1976 ban on hub-centre steering and other innovations, Prometheus emerged from John's workshop to contest classic sidecar racing. The chair was detachable, and wheels were 16' fore and aft, with a 12' wheel on the sidecar. Prometheus has a capacity of 1,248cc from bore and stroke dimensions of 90mm x 98mm, and generates 102 bhp at 6,500 rpm at the back wheel on high octane petrol. This is considerably more than double the original power output of the 1951 Series-C Rapide on which it is based. At the heart of the engine is John's own crankshaft with bob weights and Carillo rods. The standard Vincent crank uses full circle flywheels and a pressed steel crankpin pulled up tight with a large nut at both ends. The nuts are recessed and therefore the pressed portions are relatively short. By contrast the Renwick crank is permanently pressed under 30 tons of hydraulic pressure. The 1½' diameter pin is in EN36 steel and is a .006' interference fit in the EN24T 'wheels'. The mainshafts are machined oversize and then ground to size after assembly. The gearbox has a Quaife five speed cluster as originally commissioned by John Surtees.Having been progressively developed through the mid-eighties, Prometheus won the first six races of the 1987 season with John Renwick in the pilot's seat and Micky Carter in the sidecar, but in practice at Donington Micky fell from the chair, and in the ensuing crash John broke an arm and a leg. Following his recovery, a double win was achieved at Snetterton in 1989, but outings were only sporadic through the nineties. At Mallory Park's Sidecar Festival in October 1998, with Peter Branton in the sidecar, the result was a win. In the late 1990s John sprinted Prometheus at The Brighton Speed Trials with a best time of 13.9 seconds but finishing second to Dave Goddard's long wheelbase Suzuki outfit was the spur to the creation of Epimetheus, the next chapter in the story. When Prometheus was first built the cut-off date for visible components was 1958, so Vincent drum brakes were fitted all round, but as the cut-off date moved forwards, components were upgraded accordingly, including the fitting of hydraulic disc brakes to the front and rear wheels. In 2005 Prometheus ran at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and then most recently in 2006 at the Sidecar Festival, Pukekohe, New Zealand. After a period of inactivity re-commissioning will be required before further use. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1974 NVT 'Cosworth' Experimental PrototypeRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. noneEngine no. noneThe urgent need to replace its ageing Commando twin with something more modern for both road and track prompted NVT to commission a new engine design from Cosworth Engineering, applicable to both a production roadster and a race-bike. First shown in 1975, the Challenge water-cooled unitary construction twin borrowed heavily from Cosworth's 3.0-litre DFV V8 Formula 1 engine, yet despite a claimed maximum power output of 115-120bhp, the racer's handful of outings were disappointing, rider Dave Croxford being unable to match his old Commando-powered machine's lap times. With NVT on the point of collapse, the project was shelved in 1976. The Commando-based machine offered here appears to be a test-bed for Cosworth's DOHC four-valves-per-cylinder technology applied to a water-cooled twin-cylinder engine with separate gearbox; as such, it might have been conceived as an update for the Commando engine that would have been cheaper than tooling up for the all-new Challenge. Interestingly, the machine is marked 'P89' to a plate between the instruments, the Challenge project being coded 'P86'. The right-side primary drive and final drive, using a reversed Norton gearbox, are particularly worthy of note.Owned by the vendor for over 30 years, the machine was purchased from Stafford-based motorcycle dealer Cyril Chell, who had bought it at NVT's liquidation sale. The machine has not been used since purchase and its mechanical condition is not known.

1984 Kawasaki GPz1100 ProjectRegistration no. A982 TCR (see text)Frame no. JKA7XBA11EA013910Engine no. KZTI0BE034267Topping Kawasaki's range for 1981 were two new 1,089cc models: the Z1100A tourer and GPz1100 sports roadster. While the former boasted shaft drive and carburettor induction, the latter was chain driven and fitted with fuel injection, an innovation Kawasaki had first tried on the Z1000H a year or so previously. We are advised by the vendor that this incomplete and distressed GPz1100 was modified in 'street-fighter' style by the previous owner and then passed on to the current vendor when the previous owner passed away. Dry stored for approximately four years and sold on account of the vendor's ill health, the machine is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. A total of 30,181 miles is showing on the odometer. The machine's mechanical condition is not known. There are no documents with this Lot; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate 1990 Honda VRF400R Type NC30Frame no. NC30-2000058Engine no. to be advisedFollowing the arrival of the VFR750R (RC30) race replica in the late 1980s, it was only to be expected that some of its style and technology would rub off on Honda's smaller V4s. The first of these mini race-reps was the NC21, which was followed by the NC24 with RC30-style single-sided swinging arm. Restricted to a maximum of 59PS (59.8bhp) for the Japanese market, these models were not officially imported into the UK, unlike the successor NC30 which boasted a specification not far short of the RC's: alloy beam frame; single-sided swinger; close-ratio gearbox; twin-lamp fairing; RC-type brakes; and a 360-degree crankshaft. Testing a full power (62.5bhp) UK model in August 1991, Bike magazine recorded a top speed of 122.7mph into a strong headwind with the NC 1,000 revs short of the red line, indicating a probable maximum in excess of 130. Boasting RC30 looks and equally exemplary build quality, but at a fraction of the cost, the NC30 is fast becoming one of the most collectible classics of the 1990s. Offered from long-term ownership and last taxed in May 2012, this example last ran in July 2020 and has been dry-stored since August 2020 when the late owner passed away. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent and thus is sold strictly as viewed. The odometer reading is 25,739 miles. Accompanying documentation consists of some expired MoTs; two V5C documents; and an owner's manual. Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate 1941 Matchless/AJS 348cc G3/L (see text)Registration no. LWE 797Frame no. 54815Engine no. 41/G3L 73551Weighing as much as the 500cc model from which most of them were derived, but considerably less powerful, the typical British '350' of the 1940s/1950s was not likely to be anyone's first choice as a fast sports bike. Rather, these honest, workaday mounts were chosen for other reasons, chiefly their inherent strength, dependability and economy. This motorcycle is something of an AMC hybrid, its engine having the forward-mounted magneto of the AJS while the crankcases are stamped 'G3/L' (Matchless). The machine is presented in 'oily rag' cosmetic condition; the engine turns over freely with good compression, but otherwise the machine's mechanical condition is not known. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine is offered with old/current V5C documents; DVLA correspondence; and a quantity of expired MoTs.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate 1939 Matchless 982cc Model XRegistration no. GJO 996Frame no. 981Engine no. 39/X 5573•Charismatic 1930s v-twin•An older restoration•Requires re-commissioningUnlike the vast majority of Britain's motorcycle manufacturers, which were located in the Birmingham and Coventry areas, Matchless were based in Plumstead, South London. The name 'Matchless' first appeared in the 1890s on cycles manufactured by H H Collier, whose sons Charlie and Harry would later join him in the business. The firm's first - experimental - motorcycle appeared in 1899 and its first production model in 1902.These early Matchless motorcycles were JAP powered but in 1912 the firm introduced a 500cc single of its own design. Nevertheless, within a short time it had gone, along with all the other singles, and for the next several years Matchless built only v-twins. Matchless had offered v-twin sidecar tugs from its earliest days, and by 1913 there were no fewer than six different models on offer ranging from 3½hp to 8hp in nominal rating. These included 8hp models, one of which was fitted with a Matchless engine (the 7B) and the other a proprietary MAG. The latter was typed '8B' and later would form the basis for the legendary Model H motorcycle combination. Production of these MAG-engined models resumed after The Great War and continued into the 1920s despite the presence of a more modern Matchless-engined rival in the range. Designated 'X/2' on its launch in 1925, this 982cc sidevalve v-twin would remain in production until the outbreak of WW2, its engine being supplied to Brough Superior for use in the SS80 from 1935 onwards. While lesser models came and went, the stately Model X remained a fixture of the range, progressively updated, until 1940. The most significant upgrades along the way were introduced for 1937 when the Model X adopted a shorter frame, restyled fuel tank, and front-mounted magneto. This Model X had already been restored when it was purchased by the lady vendor's late husband. According to DVLA correspondence in the history files, it appears the engine was changed from number '5478' to '5573', the latter still falling within the range for 1939. Kept in dry storage, the Matchless was never used by its late owner, though the engine has been occasionally turned over by the lady vendor's son. Following a period of inactivity, re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent will be required before returning the machine to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying paperwork consists of V5C, expired MoT's (most recent 2013), marque-related literature and various DVLA correspondence.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1955 CM Francolino 175Registration no. not registeredFrame no. CM583Engine no. CM175 583CM was founded in Bologna in 1930 by rider/engineers Oreste Drusiani (whose son Alfonso would later find fame with Mondial) and Mario Cavedagna. Powered by overhead-valve and overhead-camshaft engines of various capacities up to 500cc, CM's motorcycles soon gained a reputation for both indestructibility and speed, its 'cammy' 350 ridden successfully by Guglielmo Sandri in the mid-1930s being particularly noteworthy. The company kept faith with the four-stroke engine in the immediately post-war years and then in 1949 introduced the first of a range of two-strokes, the ultimate expression of which was a 250cc twin. But the company was not yet done with four-stroke models, launching the overhead-cam Francolino 175 sports roadster in 1956. Belatedly climbing aboard the scooter bandwagon in 1958, the firm had ceased production by the decade's end. This CM Francolino had already been restored when it was purchased in September 2006 (it is believed the rebuild included the engine but this cannot be known for certain). An ASI sticker to the rear suggests the CM was purchased from Italy. Only 136 kilometres have been covered since the restoration and the machine is very nicely presented. Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugbrief and an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 2001 Moto Guzzi 1,064cc California EVRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. ZGUK2KDYM115706Engine no. 020478'An Italian with real history – the Moto Guzzi California 1100EV hasn't changed hugely since the 850cc version of 1972. But it's still a machine well worth considering. The California 1100EV is a cruiser/tourer that actually handles.' – Motor Cycle News.An engine design that originated in the early post-war years, Moto Guzzi's venerable 90-degree v-twin is still around today, albeit much modified and updated, powering the company's latest generation of superbikes, tourers and cruisers. Guzzi's take on the latter first appeared in the mid-1970s in the form of the 850 T3 California. The styling was unashamedly American inspired: fat 'buddy' seat, cow-horn 'bars, king-size mudguards, foot boards, panniers, screen and lashings of chrome, all of which conspired to make it look like Italy's answer to the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide. The design has changed in detail over the years, the engine growing to 1,064cc and the cycle parts being upgraded with the latest kit, but the concept remains unchanged. 'This isn't some faceless Japanese pretend cruiser, but an original,' as Bike magazine observed in 1998. This Moto Guzzi California was purchased new 15th May 2001 (for long distance touring) from Motorradsport Schmid, costing 21.700 DM before extras. Currently displaying a total of 4,747 kilometres on the odometer, the machine is offered with a 2012 servicing invoice; German Fahrzeugschein; expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; and an owner's manual.Footnotes:Ω Import VAT High RateImport tax at the higher rate of 20% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.

Ridden by Tommy RobbHonda 250cc RC163 Grand Prix ReplicaRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. JML-PMR 006Engine no. MC14E-1072447•Built by Phil Morris•Based directly on Mike Hailwood's RC163•Honda CBR250RR engineThe Honda RC163 won the 250cc World Championship with Jim Redman riding in its debut year of 1962, which also marked the recruitment of Tommy Robb into the Honda Grand Prix Team. The diminutive Ulsterman duly rewarded their faith in him by winning the 250cc class at the Ulster GP, beating champion-elect Jim Redman in the process. In fact, Tommy finished inside the top six in all four World Championship classes contested by Honda that year, a better performance than any of their other riders. Genuine examples of Honda's fabulous Grand Prix-winning multi-cylinder racers of the 1960s have always been out of the financial reach of all but the most wealthy collectors and museums. Generally considered far too precious to parade, let alone race, they are seldom seen in action. The result of this situation has been the growth in recent years of a 'cottage industry' of replica-builders, many of whom use the four-cylinder engine of the modern CB250R sports roadster, a Japan-only model never officially imported into the UK. When first introduced in 1986 as the Type MC14, this little jewel had around 45bhp on tap at 14,500rpm. The series progressed via the CBR250R (MC17 and MC19) to the CBR250RR (MC22) and was last made in 1999, though the engine type (MC14E) remained the same throughout. Water-cooling aside, it is the closest in spirit to Honda's Grand Prix power units of the 1960s. This CBR250RR-powered RC163 replica is one of 25 built by Phil Morris, which were eagerly snapped up by customers worldwide. Frame number '006', it is based on Mike Hailwood's works RC163 (owned by Frank Levy and displayed in the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu) which was borrowed for the purpose. The rolling chassis, cycle parts, tanks, and exhausts are faithful copies of the originals, while the machine also boasts numerous Hailwood-specific details. This is the first example completed and has been kept by Phil as a reference. 'There isn't another as close to the real thing,' he tells us. This RC163 replica has been ridden by former Honda works rider and Grand Prix winner Tommy Robb at numerous major events, and is the No. 2 bike of two similar available to him. The machine comes with a massive history file of invoices and other material.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Larger-engined versions of the original 50cc Super Cub were soon made available, the nominally 90cc C90 arriving in 1965. Better built, more powerful and more reliable than the majority of contemporary mopeds, while endowed with handling superior to that of the small-wheeled scooter, the Cub family set new sales records for motorcycle production and continues to be immensely popular today.

Ex-Jim Moodie 2002 Yamaha 599cc R6 V&M Supersport Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. JYAR 7030360000 18552•Tuned by V&M Racing•Used to win the 2002 Isle of Man TT Junior 600 Race•Authenticated by V&M's Jack ValentineThis Yamaha R6 comes with V&M Racing's Certificate of Authenticity confirming that it was ridden by Jim Moodie to win the 2002 Isle of Man Junior 600 TT. Jim Moodie had first ridden for Jack Valentine and Steve Mellor's V&M back in 2000 when the Scot won that year's British Supersport Championship having been sacked by Honda UK part way through the season. In a strange case of history repeating itself, Jim's ride at the TT had only come about after he parted company with the Dutch Saveko World Supersport team before the season started. Riding the V&M-tuned Yamaha R6, Moodie was one of the pre-race favourites with seven TT victories already to his credit. Starting at number two, he had overhauled Suzuki-mounted David Jefferies' ten-second advantage after just seven miles to lead on the road, and in the race, a position he held throughout the entire four-lap distance. He was also helped by his main rivals, Jefferies and Honda-mounted John McGuinness, dropping out with engine problems. Despite a slipping clutch, Moodie took the win in 1hr 15min 56.9sec at an average speed of 119.22mph, beating Ian Lougher into 2nd place by a margin of 33 seconds. Amazingly, Moodie's average speed in the 1000cc Production Race was less than 1mph faster, underlining just how suited the R6 was to the challenging Mountain Course. Interviewed for the Isle of Man TT web site, Jim said: 'I really went for it right from the word go, and I was surprised how quickly I caught big Dave. Once I'd got past him I just got my head down and went as hard as I could on the dry parts, and was a bit more cautious on the damp patches. The V&M R6 Yamaha felt like it was on rails, and I was hoping to go for the lap record on the last lap, but the clutch started slipping real bad after the pit stop, so I just coaxed it home to make sure of the win.' But for the slipping clutch, Moodie would almost certainly have broken the class lap record. Phil Morris bought the ex-Moodie R6 from the estate of the late Aled Jenkins, who had allowed Phil to display his collection of Yamaha race bikes in his museum. The TT-winning R6 has been signed by Jim Moodie, and the substantial history files contain signed photographs of the bike in action plus much other interesting material (inspection recommended).Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Ex-David Jefferies 2001 Yamaha 998cc R1 V&M Superstock Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. WU51 JVMFrame no. JYARN041000018087Engine no. *N503E-023019*•Used by David Jeffereis to contest the 2001 British Superstock Championship•Prepared and entered by V&M Racing•Known ownership historyLack of sponsorship for the teams he was contracted to saw Isle of Man TT star David Jefferies forced to concentrate on the British Superstock Championship in 2000 and 2001. Riding for Tim Ford's 02+ team, and with Page3.com sponsorship, he had won the championship in 2000 and signed to race Ducatis in the British Superbike Championship in 2001, only for the sponsorship to be withdrawn at the last minute. Jefferies was fortunate enough to land a ride with V&M to contest the British Superstock Championship again riding a Yamaha R1, while at the same time continuing his association with the TT and the Irish road races. In a cruel twist of fate, the outbreak of foot and mouth disease on the UK mainland meant that the TT and the Irish races would be cancelled, depriving DJ of his major source of income. There was more bad news: Suzuki's new GSX-R1000 was faster than the now three-year-old Yamaha R1. Suzuki-mounted Aussie Paul Young won the first five rounds of the championship, and it was not until the sixth round at Thruxton that Jefferies managed to get on the podium. In David Jefferies – the Official Biography by Stuart Barker, Jack Valentine is quoted as telling his rider, by way of motivation: 'Right David, we're in the GSX-R cup, but with you on a Yamaha. If you finish second, then that's like a win. Everybody in the game knows you're totally underpowered.'Jefferies first win of the season came in the seventh round at Oulton Park and he took another win at Cadwell Park when Suzuki-mounted John Crockford crashed out. According to MCN: 'It was a race that summarised the season so far for the Yorkshire man – he had to ride the wheels off his Yamaha to keep up with the GSX-R1000s and hope that one of their riders made a mistake.' At the season's end DJ finished 2nd overall in the British Superstock Championship. The R1 offered here is David Jefferies' 2001 British Superstock Championship machine. At the end of the 2001 season the Yamaha was sold to Chris Waldron of Swindon and registered to him on 18th October 2001. The R1's next owner was Lee Kitch of Newbury, in whose name it was registered on 29th May 2004. Phil Morris bought the machine from George White Superbike Centres of Swindon on 19th March 2007 (invoice on file). Signed by David Jefferies, the machine is offered with a substantial history file.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
The Hans Schifferle Collection 1958 Ducati 175 SportRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 78207Engine no. 78234Designed by Fabio Taglioni, the first Ducati overhead-camshaft single - the 100 Gran Sport - appeared on the racetrack in 1954 and soon proved unbeatable in its class. Taglioni's versatile design proved capable of considerable enlargement, being produced in various capacities from the original 98cc up to 450cc. The 175cc class was popular in Continental Europe and Ducati's first offerings in that category appeared towards the end of the 1950s. A pair of 175cc roadsters was introduced for the 1956 season, the Sport version of which (known as the 'Silverstone' in the UK) was capable of more than 80mph in road trim and close to the 'ton' when stripped for racing, an astonishing achievement at the time and one that helped establish the giant-killing reputation long enjoyed by Ducati's miniature masterpieces. Manufactured for only a few seasons, these 175cc roadsters are today quite rare. An older restoration, believed acquired circa 2002, this Ducati 175 Sport was purchased 'as is' and has never been run while in Hans' ownership. Borrani wheel rims and a Silentium silencer are notable features. A total of 23,185 kilometres is diplayed on the odometer. The machine is offered with a German Fahrzeugschein; an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; and photocopy Italian registration papers.

1963 MV Agusta 50cc LibertyRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. MVL*813426*Engine no. MV-L-813725Although best known for their racing and road-going four-cylinder four-strokes, MV Agusta built lightweights throughout its manufacturing career and in its early days listed small two-strokes and even a scooter. Indeed, between 1955 and 1959 they listed a moped and in 1962 introduced the 50cc Liberty, an ultra-lightweight sports roadster. The Italian Highway Code no longer required such machines to have pedals, and the Liberty was aimed squarely at youngsters who wanted something more stylish than the traditional step-thru moped. A four-stroke in a field dominated by two-strokes, the Liberty featured a three-speed twistgrip-change gearbox at first while 1967-onwards models had a foot-change four-speeder. Turismo, Sport, and Super Sport versions were available. Nothing is known of the history of this Liberty, which is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1929 Scott 596cc TT Replica Registration no. SV 4155Frame no. 3265MEngine no. PY2936A genuine TT Replica, as confirmed by factory records held by the VMCC, this example was built in 1929 and sold new in 1930. Notable features include a Bonniksen speedometer, prop stand, and a later DPY engine with swash-plate oil pump. The first owner was Mr James Ernest Humphries of Aberdeen, reportedly a professor at Aberdeen University. The Scott was bought from the first owner circa 1970 by a Scottish collector, who had it restored in 1971, after which it was test-ridden around 50 miles and then stored. In 1992 his collection was sold and the Scott's original registration ('RG 987') removed by the next owner. Reregistered as 'SV 4155', the Scott was offered for sale again that same year at a Hendon auction and purchased by the current vendor, who became the fourth owner but effectively only the second one to use it. After a couple of years riding around the Surrey lanes, it was decided to visit the Isle of Man. Down the Sulby straight on a display lap arranged by the VMCC, the Bonniksen speedometer registered 85mph and the TT Rep was still accelerating. In regular use until October 2015, the Scott was laid-up for a few months due to the vendor's hospitalisation and then used until Covid enforced another layoff. Offered with an old-style logbook and V5C.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
The Hans Schifferle Collection 1954 Puch SV 175Registration no. not registeredFrame no. 1300380Engine no. 1535709The motorcycle part of the Austrian Steyr-Daimler-Puch combine, Puch introduced its first motorcycle in the early 1900s, amalgamated with Daimler in 1928 and then Steyr in 1934. Puch also built cars, commercial vehicles, and railway locomotives in its early years but these days the firm is best remembered for its pioneering Doppelkolben (twin-piston) 'split-single' two-stroke motorcycles, the first of which was developed during the 1920s. Designed by an Italian engineer, Giovanni Marcellino, this unusual engine used two pistons on a two-piece (master/slave) connecting rod, the cylinders sharing a common combustion chamber. The chief advantage of this arrangement was asymmetrical port timing, resulting in improved economy, steadier idling, and greater torque at the expense of greater complication and weight. Four-stroke models were catalogued during the 1930s but after WW2 Puch built two-strokes only, commencing with split-singles in 125, 150, 175 and 250cc capacities, and the range remained in production well into the 1960s. This Puch SV 175 was Hans Schifferle's preferred 'go-to' bike because it was always easy to start. Purchased circa 1995, the machine was rebuilt by Helmut Lichtenberger and is very nicely presented, having covered only 1,651km since restoration. Some detailing would improve it still further. Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugschein; an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; and a Puch owner's manual.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low RateImport tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.N (NOVA): This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

1952 Moto Guzzi 499cc FalconeRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. *31161*Engine no. F97991Carlo Guzzi's first prototype motorcycle of 1919 was unconventional in so far as its single-cylinder engine was installed horizontally, and by the end of the 1930s the 'flat single' had established itself as a Guzzi hallmark. Guzzi recommenced production post-WW2 with a range of updated pre-war designs, the 500cc touring GTV and sportier GTW soon gaining telescopic front forks and hydraulic rear suspension before being replaced for 1949 by the Astore, which would remain in production until 1953. By then the ultimate expression of Guzzi's classic, Vintage-style single had arrived: the legendary Falcone. Introduced in 1950, the Falcone took over the GTW's mantle of Guzzi's top sports bike, its tuneable engine being closely related to that of the Dondolino racer. Offered in Sport, Turismo and military/police specifications, the Falcone outlived all its fellows, the Turismo civilian version remaining in production until 1963 when it was replaced by the all-new Falcone Nuovo. This Falcone had recently been imported when it was purchased at a UK auction in November 2003, described as 'carefully refurbished, since when it has been kept on display in the vendor's office and not used. Re-commissioning will be required before returning the machine to the road, and prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to it registration status prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1972 Suzuki GT750JRegistration no. AWW 197KFrame no. 28216Engine no. 28431Launched at the Tokyo show in 1971, Suzuki's new GT750 flagship was, as its name suggests, more Gran Turismo than outright sports bike. First of a family of Suzuki two-stroke triples, the newcomer retained the cylinder dimensions of the existing T500 air-cooled twin, but with the added refinements of water-cooling and an electric starter. Top speed was around 115mph, but more important was the effortless cruising capability. This early drum-braked example was imported from the USA and purchased in 2019. The tank and side panels have been re-sprayed and a new petrol tap, wiring loom, ignition coils and condenser fitted. Other notable features include Higgspeed expansion chambers and sports air filters (original airbox included). Offered with a VJMC dating certificate and V5C document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Originally of 123cc, the engine grew first to 148cc - on the D3 Bantam Major, introduced for 1954 - and then to 172cc. Plunger rear suspension became an option in 1950, the next major changes to the cycle parts being the introduction of swinging-arm rear suspension and a sturdier telescopic front fork on the Bantam Major in 1956. Purchased in March 1978, this plunger-suspended D1 Bantam is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed (the engine does not turn).

1965 Honda 247cc C72Registration no. CBF 85C Frame no. C72.105617 (see text)Engine no. CB72E102527The engine number of this iconic early Honda, which was purchased in December 2019, suggests that it is fitted with at least the crankcases from the more powerful CB72 engine. The recorded mileage is 2183. The frame and tinware appear to have been repainted, which may account for our failing to find the frame number on our initial inspection. A V5C registration document is supplied, along with two MoT certificates, an original Honda parts list, and a reproduction workshop manual. A friend of the late owner recalls that it was ridden shortly before the first lockdown, at which time there may have been a charging or battery problem. The tail-light lens is missing. After a period of inactivity re-commissioning will be required before further use. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition.

From the estate of the late Roy Houghton 1959 Norton 350cc Model 50Registration no. 438 XUUFrame no. P13 81784Engine no. P13 81785Introduced in 1933, the single-cylinder Model 50 was Norton's first production overhead-valve machine in the 350 class; the '50' and its twin-port brother the '55' being junior versions of the 490cc Models 18 and 20 respectively. Norton's sporting 350 single was built in several versions and continuously developed during a production run lasting until 1963, post-war innovations including the adoption of the AMC gearbox in 1956 and a switch to superior alternator electrics and the peerless 'Featherbed' frame for 1959. Supplied new by Alec Bennett Ltd, this Featherbed-framed Model 50 was restored 15 years ago and registered to Roy Houghton in September 2009. The current odometer reading is 912 miles, which is believed to be the distance covered since the restoration. Presented in lovely condition, like all the machines in Roy's collection, the Norton is offered with old/current V5C documents.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
The Hans Schifferle Collection 1975 Benelli 500 QuattroRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. BI 2111Engine no. BI 002421Revitalised after its takeover in 1971 by Argentine industrialist Alejandro de Tomaso, Benelli launched a range of new six- and four-cylinder sports bikes. First of these Honda-inspired machines was the 500 Quattro of 1974, which despite its Oriental-looking power unit was thoroughly Italian in all other respects, boasting a rigid cradle frame, powerful Grimeca drum brakes and alloy wheel rims. The front drum had been replaced by Brembo discs and the model name changed to '504 Sport' by 1979: The fact that importers Agrati Sales sold so few in the UK was entirely down to the price: at £1,636 the Benelli was a massive 33% more expensive than Kawasaki's Z500!Purchased in Rimini in 2006, this Benelli 500 Quattro displays a total of 7,570 kilometres on the odometer, though it is not known whether this is from new or since restoration. The machine has been repainted but the plastics, including the rear shock shrouds, are untouched. The restoration took over three years to complete due to delays in finding engine parts and a replacement exhaust system – remember Hans refused to source components via the internet! The machine is offered with a copy maintenance manual, German Fahrzeugschein; expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; and photocopy Italian registration documents.

Ridden by Tommy Robb and John McGuinnessHonda 250cc RC163 Grand Prix ReplicaRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. JML-PMR 002Engine no. MC14E-1062676•Built by John Locksley•Modified by Phil Morris•Honda CBR250RR engineIntroduced for the 1962 season, the four-cylinder 250cc RC163 was little changed from the preceding year's World Championship-winning RC162. It too would enjoy the ultimate success, Jim Redman taking the '250' World Championship that year together with the '350' crown, while Luigi Taveri bagged the '125' title to make it three out of four championships contested for Honda. Only in the 50cc category, won by Suzuki, did they fail. The year 1962 also marked the recruitment of Tommy Robb into the Honda Grand Prix Team, and the diminutive Ulsterman duly rewarded their faith in him by winning the 250cc class at the Ulster GP, beating champion-elect Jim Redman. In fact, Tommy finished inside the top six in all four World Championship classes contested by Honda that year, a better performance than any of their other riders. Genuine examples of Honda's fabulous Grand Prix-winning multi-cylinder racers of the 1960s have always been out of the financial reach of all but the most wealthy collectors and museums. Generally considered far too precious to parade, let alone race, they are seldom seen in action. The result of this situation has been the growth in recent years of a 'cottage industry' of replica-builders, many of whom use the four-cylinder engine of the modern CB250R sports roadster, a Japan-only model never officially imported into the UK. When first introduced in 1986 as the Type MC14, this little jewel had around 45bhp on tap at 14,500rpm. The series progressed via the CBR250R (MC17 and MC19) to the CBR250RR (MC22) and was last made in 1999, though the engine type (MC14E) remained the same throughout. Water-cooling aside, it is the closest in spirit to Honda's Grand Prix power units of the 1960s. This CBR250RR-powered RC163 replica was built by John Locksley and bought directly from him by Phil Morris. Phil has since rebuilt the engine and modified the bike, swapping over the gearchange/rear brake to the 'British' arrangement and fitting new 'period' exhaust pipes. Ridden by former Honda works rider and Grand Prix winner Tommy Robb in numerous major events, this was one of two similar machines available to him. It was on this machine that Tommy had the accident that prompted him to retire from the track. The RC163 has also been ridden by TT star John McGuinness at the 'Festival of 1,000 Bikes'. Offered with history file.

Property of a deceased's estate 1955 BSA 499cc Gold StarRegistration no. VKO 806Frame no. CB32 1971Engine no. DB.34 GS505The Gold Star did not return to BSA's post-WW2 range until 1949. First displayed at the Earls Court Show in 1948, the B32 Goldie boasted the telescopic front fork first introduced for 1946 and came equipped with a new alloy cylinder barrel and 'head. For 1950 a 500cc version – the B34 – was added to the range and this larger Goldie was the first to switch to the new die-cast top-end, with separate rocker box, in 1951. The 350 followed suit in 1952 and the pair continued as the 'BB' Gold Stars after the new swinging-arm frame was introduced in 1953, changing to 'CB' designation for 1954. This change marked the introduction of the classic 'big fin' engine, but the designation lasted only until the arrival of the 'DB' series in the autumn of 1955. The 'DB' incorporated a much-improved lubrication system and, in the case of the 350 only, a stronger cylinder assembly; as such it would represent the 'Junior' Goldie in its final form.Registered to the late owner on 16th February 1992, this nicely presented example would respond well to detailing and re-commissioning after a period of inactivity (the engine turns over with good compression). The machine is offered with old/current V5C documents; SORN paperwork; some marque-related literature; and a quantity of MoTs (most recent expired in 2012).Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1973 Triumph 740cc T150 TridentRegistration no. not UK registeredFrame no. T150V GH05804Engine no. T150T EE00980First registered on 29th July 1974, this Triumph Trident was purchased by the vendor in 1982 in Milan, Italy. When purchased the machine had already been fitted with a 1972 four-speed engine and was in café racer guise complete with a 3-into-1 exhaust. In the late 1980s the owner decided to transform the Trident into a more comfortable mount, fitting a stock seat, a Menani flat handlebar, and Menani footrests. Other noteworthy features include Boyer electronic ignition; Marzocchi front forks; Scarab twin front disc brakes; Borrani alloy wheel rims; and an upswept 'Ray Gun' exhaust system. We are advised by the vendor that the engine has been overhauled by Roberto Pasqualotto, who was trained by renowned marque specialist the late Les Williams (see recent bill on file). The vendor describes the Triumph in his opinion as: 'It is very fast and impressively stable on the road.' Following a period of inactivity, the machine may require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus sold strictly as viewed. The machine comes with an alternative pair of silencers, a pair of clip-on handlebars, and a solo seat moulding, and is offered with Italian registration papers.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low Rate: Import tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

Property of a deceased's estate 1910 Triumph 3½hpRegistration no. SV 4316Frame no. 152324Engine no. 8564-4-2The first Triumph motorcycle of 1902 used a Belgian Minerva engine, but within a few years the Coventry firm - originally a bicycle manufacturer founded by German immigrants Siegfried Bettman and Maurice Schulte - was building its own power units. The first of these - a 298cc single-cylinder sidevalve - arrived in 1904. This first engine was not without its weaknesses, pistons and bores wore out quickly and the curious 'tandem down-tube' frame in which it was installed broke, but these shortcomings were soon sorted and within a couple of years 'Triumph' was a byword for reliability. The famous 3½hp model first appeared in 1907. Originally of 453cc, its sidevalve engine was enlarged to 476cc in 1908 and finally to 499cc in 1910 before being superseded by the 4hp model in 1914. This early Triumph motorcycle was previously owned by one Reginald Connett of Berkshire (from 8th June 1993) and before him by Mr A R Taylor. Formerly registered 'LW 3193', the machine comes with two Pioneer Certificates issued in 1987 and 1995 respectively. The accompanying history file also contains old/current V5C documents; a quantity of MoTs (most recent expired June 2012); photocopy instruction books; assorted correspondence; and a selection of photographs of the Triumph competing in the Pioneer Run and Banbury Run.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
The Hans Schifferle Collection 1969 MV Agusta 592cc 4C TourerRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. MV4C6*199 0127Engine no. 199-045•One of 135 made•Already restored when purchased in 2019•191 kilometres since restoration'By building a version of his fabulous dohc racing four engine into a touring frame, Count Agusta has created a unique, weird and wonderful collector's dream.' - Cycle magazine. Developed from MV Agusta's long line of successful multi-cylinder racers, the first road-going four - a twin-carburettor, 592cc tourer - appeared in 1965 at the Milan Show. With its touring cycle parts, shaft drive, and unappealing styling - more Japanese than European - the new MV 4C was not what enthusiasts expected from a marque with its roots deep in motorcycle racing. Nevertheless, MV's ugly duckling was an advanced design for its day, boasting an electric starter and twin front disc brakes, the latter a mechanical design by Campagnolo. And there was no denying that its engine looked gorgeous. As Mick Walker remarks in his book ('MV Agusta Fours'): 'Instantly recognisable as associated with its GP brothers, it was in many ways almost worth putting up with the look of the motorcycle just to have that legendary engine in your garage.'Production proper commenced in the summer of 1967, with the price in the USA set at $2,889. (When it went on sale a year or so later, Honda's 750cc four cost less than $1,500). Not surprisingly, customers were few, and only 135 examples of MV's first four-cylinder roadster had found customers before production ceased a few years later. Bowing to public demand for something more exciting from MV, the Gallarate marque duly obliged in 1969, upping capacity to 743cc and further boosting maximum power by fitting a quartet of Dell'Orto carburettors to the revised 750GT tourer and sporting 750S. First registered on 8th January 1969 in Palermo, Italy, this original example of one of MV's rarest roadsters had already been restored when purchased in 2019 from a Turin-based collector, who had purchased it in 2009. The MV has covered only 191 kilometres since restoration and is presented in very nice condition. Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugbrief; the 2019 purchase receipt; an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; an old Italian registration document; and an MV4C6 spare parts catalogue and range literature.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low RateImport tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.N (NOVA): This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

1974 Laverda 981cc 3CRegistration no. not UK registeredFrame no. LAV.1000\1*1692*Engine no. 1000*1692*Introduced in 1972, the '3C' was the first of Laverda's much admired family of classic three-cylinder 'muscle bikes' that would do so much to establish its reputation as one of Italy's foremost purveyors of high-performance motorcycles. Displacing 981cc, the new engine had a character all its own. No longer conceived along Honda lines like its twin-cylinder predecessors, Laverda's triple was a twin-overhead-camshaft design with 180-degree 'flat' crankshaft. Following the introduction of the Slater Brothers-inspired Jota super sports version, the 3C continued as the 3CL sports-tourer, with the 80bhp engine and 125mph capability. Although slightly slower than the Jota, the less highly-stressed 3C/3CL is considered by many Laverda aficionados to be the more enjoyable machine to ride.This Laverda 3C was last run in 2016 and will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. The machine comes with Italian ASI 'Gold Plate' and FMI 'Gold Plate' documents. It also comes with copies of its Italian registration papers (the original registration papers and numberplates have been retained as required by the Italian authorities). An exciting opportunity to acquire a rarely seen Italian classic that can only become increasingly collectible.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low Rate: Import tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

Property of a deceased's estate c.1931 Vincent-HRD 500cc Two-Port OHV Sports ModelRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. P418 (see text)Engine no. KOZ/H 11191•One of only 25 Two-Port OHV Sports Models sold in 1931•Present ownership since 1987•Substantial history fileThe Vincent-HRD marque originated in 1928 when Philip C Vincent acquired the name, jigs, tools and patterns of the recently liquidated HRD Company. ('HRD' stood for Howard Raymond Davies, the Isle of Man TT winner who had founded the firm in 1924.) Having read Mechanical Engineering at Kings College, Cambridge, Vincent was highly critical of the characteristics of contemporary motorcycles, their lack of rear suspension in particular, and built his own sprung-frame prototype in 1927. With its pivoting triangulated rear fork and springs mounted beneath the saddle, it set the pattern for all future Vincent motorcycles. However, the motorcycling public remained unconvinced of the advantages of rear suspension, and that, coupled with the fact that the first Vincent frames used triangulated straight tubes and looked unconventionally 'Cotton-like' in appearance, only served to depress sales still further. In 1930 Vincent sold only 35 machines, rising to 50 in 1931.Like Davies before him, Vincent relied on proprietary engines until increasing dissatisfaction with suppliers led to the creation of Vincent's own in 1934. Until then he had sourced engines from both JAP and Rudge. By this time the triangulated frames had gone, replaced by more conventional 'diamond' types, albeit still with rear springing. With 22 sold in 1930 and 25 in 1931, the 500cc Two-Port OHV Sports Model was by far the most popular in the Vincent-HRD range during that period. This example is believed to have been raced in Ireland during the 1930s before coming to the UK in the late 1940s. The dry-sump JAP engine is coded 'H' for 1931 so would have been manufactured at any time between 1st September 1930 and 31st August 1931. Strangely, frame number 'P418' is not listed in the works order book, the sequence going from 'P417' to 'P419'. Vincent was experiencing cracked frames at this time, and it has been suggested that 'P418' might have been supplied as a replacement, although there is no evidence to support this. This motorcycle has for many years been associated with the (Irish) registration 'IL 4247', but the frame number does not match that on the V5C and so the machine is offered without a V5C Registration Certificate. The Vincent was acquired by the late owner in 1987 having previously belonged to one Harold Turner of Caversham, Reading. It comes with a most substantial history file containing old registration documents; sundry magazines; photocopy instruction books; a quantity of MoTs (most recent expired 2013); and copious correspondence (close examination recommended).Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
The ex-Phil Read 1971 Yamaha 250cc TD2 Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. TD104 - 2 stamped on the top yokeEngine no. none visible - Crankcase mating numbers. 3116•Phil Read's No.2 bike from the 1971 season•One of two built under the direction of Ferry Brouwer•Restored by Nigel EverettThe mainstay of 250cc and 350cc racing at national and international level for many years, the twin-cylinder two-stroke Yamaha well deserved the title of 'privateer's friend'; indeed, without it, grids in these classes would have been depleted in extremis during the 1970s. In 1970 nine out of the top ten in the 250cc World Championship rode Yamahas, and their very ubiquity led many riders to seek a competitive edge over similarly mounted rivals by turning to independent tuners and frame builders. Following the Yamaha factory team's withdrawal from racing at the end of 1968, which left Phil Read without a ride, he sat out most of the 1969 and 1970 seasons before returning to Grands Prix in 1971 as a privateer, concentrating on the '250' class. His mount would be a production Yamaha TD2, developed under the direction of Dutch engineer, Ferry Brouwer, which featured an Eric Cheney frame; Brouwer-tuned engine; Helmut Fath dry clutch; and a Rod Quaife six-speed gearbox. Two similar machines were constructed over the winter of 1970/1971. With wins at the first three Grands Prix of the season, Phil went on to claim his fifth World Championship, beating reigning champion Rod Gould and his works supported Yamaha into 2nd place. Phil also won the Isle of Man Lightweight 250 TT that year at an average speed of 98.02mph, lapping at over 100mph. Phil continued to race the Brouwer machines during the 1972 World Championship season, winning the French Grand Prix and the Isle of Man TT on his way to 4th overall at the year's end. This special Yamaha TD2 comes with a signed letter from Phil Read confirming that it is his No. 2 bike from the 1971 season. Phil notes that this bike had Ceriani forks and the large Yamaha double-sided front brake, unlike the No. 1 bike, which sometimes featured disc brakes. The machine later found its way to Ireland where it was owned by Peter Herron (brother of the late Tom Herron), who sold it to collector Neville Morris in pieces. Neville had the Yamaha restored by former Grand Prix works mechanic Nigel Everett, and when his collection was sold the ex-Read Yamaha was purchased by Phil Morris. Not run since acquisition, the machine has been kept on display in Phil's Oswestry Road Racing Museum, although it has been loaned to Phil Read for shows on a couple of occasions. Offered with a history file, this beautiful TD2 represents a rare opportunity to own a machine commissioned and raced by one of the biggest Grand Prix stars of the day.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate 1918 Excelsior 61ci Model 19Registration no. SV 9651Frame no. 14217Engine no. 95950 (see text)•Premier American make•An older restoration•Stylish 'Banbury' transportThe famous American Excelsior motorcycle was produced by the Excelsior Motor Manufacturing Company of Chicago, Illinois from 1907 until 1931, latterly under the 'Super-X' brand name. The first Excelsior was a belt-driven single cylinder machine, the engine of which formed part of the frame. The engine itself was an inlet-over-exhaust 'F-head', a design then much in vogue. 1911 was a landmark year in Excelsior's history, for the firm was acquired by bicycle maker Ignaz Schwinn and introduced its first v-twin model that year. In 1913 the 61ci (1,000cc) twin was offered with all-chain drive, while two-speed planetary transmission and a leaf-sprung, Indian-style front fork were two innovations introduced for the following season.Alongside rivals Harley-Davidson and Indian, Excelsior offered a three-speed countershaft transmission for 1915, simultaneously introducing a new frame with curved top tube and s smoothly rounded tank, a first for Excelsior. Deeply valanced mudguards distinguished the v-twin of 1917. 'Military' olive green was adopted as the Excelsior livery that year and would remain the only option until 1920 when blue became the norm. Offered with a fascinating history file, this nicely restored Excelsior Model 19 twin was purchased by its late owner from Christchurch Motorcycles Ltd, New Zealand on 28th February 1994 for the sum of $20,000NZ (bill of sale on file). Apparently, the Excelsior had seen service with US Navy in WWI and been left in the port city of Timaru, South Island, NZ where it was discovered in a barn (see email from the relative of a former NZ owner). The late owner bought it while on holiday and had it shipped to the UK where it was registered in 2003. There are three expired MoTs on file issued in 2003, 2004, 2005 respectively, after which the machine appears to have been SORN'd annually. The huge history file also contains old/current V5C documents; plentiful correspondence; a quantity of marque-related literature; assorted photographs; and instruction and parts books. The machine also comes with its old NZ licence plates.An imposing motorcycle from any angle, the Excelsior is finished in the correct military green livery, while notable features include a Klaxon horn and Corbin speedometer. Re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent will be required before returning it to the road. (It appears that the engine number has been re-stamped at some time, but there is evidence of the original number still visible.)Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate 1957 BSA 123cc Bantam D1Registration no. 186 AKMFrame no. BD2 62952Engine no. DDB 7191Developed from the pre-war DKW RT125 and announced in 1948, the Bantam became a top seller for BSA, in excess of half a million leaving the Birmingham factory before production ceased in 1971. Originally of 123cc, the singly-cylinder two-stroke engine grew first to 148cc and then to 172cc. Plunger rear suspension became available as an option in 1950, as did battery electrics powered by a 6-volt Lucas alternator, direct lighting having been relied upon hitherto. Purchased in March 1978, this plunger-suspended Bantam D1 was supplied new by G E Tunbridge Ltd of Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Missing some parts (carburettor, exhaust, gearchange, kickstart, etc) the machine is offered for restoration and sold strictly was viewed. Accompanying documentation consists of the original old-style buff logbook and an old V5.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
From the estate of the late Roy Houghton 1953 Norton 497cc Dominator 88 De LuxeRegistration no. RTE 388Frame no. J122 53447Engine no. 53447 J122 (re-stamped)This very early Dominator 88 De Luxe was first owned by Edgar Lawrenson of Lancaster. Remarkably, 'RTE 388' comes with a set of charming b&w photographs taken by Mr Lawrenson when he took the Norton on a touring holiday of Spain in 1954. In 1958 the Dominator passed to well-known Norton collector, John Clucas, who would own it until 1997. The machine then passed to one Ed Bickerton, who sold it to Roy Houghton in 1998 (sales receipts on file). Believed an older restoration, the Norton appears highly original and in 2006 was featured as a fine example of the type in The Classic Motor Cycle (November edition, photocopy available). The machine also comes with its original old-style buff logbook; old/current V5/V5C Registration Certificates; some expired tax discs; and the aforementioned receipts.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The legs came from a plastic stork, which he had seen at Woolworths. The birds were sold out, but only a pair of legs without torso was left. The salesperson did not want to sell the incomplete product, but we see here how the story ends. The playful table lamp was very well received when it first came out, and in the beginning was made as a limited and numbered series of 500 pieces.
