1981 Lambretta Vijay Super GP150, 149cc. Registration number OEF 542W. Frame number 22022209530. Engine number 306604. Automobile Products of India (API) began assembling Innocenti-built Lambretta scooters in India after independence in the 1950's beginning with 48 cc, Ld model, Li 1st series. They eventually acquired a licence to build the Li150 Series 2 model, which was sold under the Lambretta name until about 1976 and later on changed the name to Lamby for legal reasons. API also built the trademark model [API-175] three-wheeler which was based on Innocenti's Lambretta. In 1972, Scooters India Ltd. (SIL) a state-run enterprise based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, bought the entire Lambretta manufacturing and trademark rights. Former Innocenti employees were used to set up an Indian factory as all the manuals and machinery instructions were in Italian. The first scooter built was the Vijay Delux/DL, which was badged the Lambretta GP150 in export markets. This was later enhanced to become the Vijay Super. Further improvements were made in the final years of production by incorporating a contemporary Japanese CDI unit and an advanced front suspension. SIL also distributed complete knock downs that were assembled in different parts of India and sold as the Allwyn Pusphak, Falcon, and Kesri. These were of a lower quality than the SIL-produced models and sometimes incorporated significant styling changes. SIL production seems to have peaked during the financial year 1980-81, with around 35,000 scooters being built. However, by 1987 this had dropped to around 4,500 units with production finally ceasing in 1997. OEF appears to have been imported in 2017 and bought by our vendor who had it fully restored by Patron Racing of Doncaster in the colour that a friend of his had back in the day. It was MOT'd at 2 miles, in 2018 it had risen to 7 miles and was again the same when MOT'd in 2019, the same as it now is. Sold with the V5C, MOT history, dating certificate and various other paperwork. Due to the lack of use post restoration a running in period would be advisable when taken on the road. Offered for sale as our vendor is moving to a smaller property without the storage for his collection, Spicers can highly recommend this machine

1969 Lambretta Jet 200, 200cc (see text). Registration number MDM 367G. Frame number SX200 - 557609. Engine number SX200 - 563570. The history of Lambretta in Spain began in 1952 when a group of prominent Basque businessmen created "Lambretta Locomociones SA". A factory was built in Eiber (Northern Spain) in 1953 and proper production began in earnest in 1954, production finally ceased 35 years later in 1989. As wealth increased in western Europe in the late 1960s, the demand for motor scooters fell as the small car became affordable to more people and Lambretta sales started to decline, as did the financial status of parent company Innocenti. British Leyland took advantage of Innocenti's financial difficulties and their production and engineering expertise contracting them to produce cars under licence. The company was eventually sold to BLMC. Unfortunately, lack of foresight had caused BLMC to buy a fashion trend that was ending rapidly, motor-scooter sales declined sharply, and Innocenti finally closed shop in 1972 and production was taken over by the Indian company API. 1966 saw the introduction of the first 200cc model in Spain, the JET 200. The very early models are identical to an Italian SX200 except for the typical "Li" metal front mudguard and horncasting. The engine was similar in design and based around that of the Innocenti SX 200. Using the same top end configuration and carburettor, bhp would have been on a similar scale. The cylinder and piston were very well made and have proved reliable and hard wearing for many thousands of miles. The crankshaft likewise was well made but still only used the SX style flywheel taper and would have been much better had it been upgraded to the GP specification. Using a Spanish made Dellorto SH2O carburettor fuel consumption remained good and with a slightly larger fuel tank range was slightly improved. The transmission and gearbox were also identical to the SX 200 and used the same set of gear ratios. MDM was first registered with DVLA in January 2012 and is recorded as 125cc instead of the 200cc it is (as is often found on scooter V5C's). Also of note is that the Spanish frame number SX200 557609 is for c.1974 and is a mark 3 version. It has had a recent engine rebuild, with a GP200 Mazzuuchelgi standard crank Mahle pistons, all bearings and seals have been replaced and a new 22ML carb fitted, a new 12v electrical system, new 42ML exhaust. Sold with the V5C and a breakdown of the engine rebuild. The scooter started easily when delivered and has been ridden by a member of a our staff with no issues.
1973 Honda SS50, 49cc. Registration number UXF 95M (not recorded with DVLA, see text). Frame number SS50Z 216993. Engine number TBC.The first sports derivative of Honda's classic C100 Super Cub 'step-thru', the C110 Sports Cub, appeared in October 1960. This was a proper small motorcycle, with spine frame and a more powerful version of the C100 motor. Larger-capacity models soon followed and in 1964 an overhead-camshaft version of the engine was introduced on the CS90 sports, with 50cc and 65cc derivatives arriving in 1965. An even more sporting tiddler - the SS50 - arrived for 1967 equipped with a more powerful version of the OHC engine producing 6.0bhp at 11,000rpm and coupled to a five-speed gearbox. During the mid-1970s the model was offered on the UK market in 'Sixteener Special' guise equipped with four-speed gearbox and pedals, thereby qualifying as a moped, and continued in production to the end of 1977.UFX was purchased in 1973 at the height of the fuel crisis as a cheap way to get to work, when fuel prices came down is was laid up in August 1975 with 2,522 miles on the clock. It remained in his home, always with the intention of getting in on the road. Several years ago his son bought him a replacement tank as the original had rotted through and when he passed on it became his sons. He was not interested in it so passed it on to our vendor.In running order, although the fuel tap leaks, this is a very original machine (apart from the tank) that now awaits its next custodian.There is no paperwork with this lot apart from the old tax disc.
1978 Suzuki 250 X7, 249cc. registration number KNP 8T. Frame number 500201. Engine number GT2502 101185. Suzuki's GT250 X7 is the ultimate expression of the air-cooled 250 sports bike. Launched in 1978 it instantly became the fastest 250 on the streets. Motorcycle Mechanics' jockey-like test rider Brian Crichton - lying flat on the tank - squeezed 99.5mph out of the first test bike to reach our shores. Removing the mirrors yielded an extra 1mph, making the X7 the first genuine 100mph 250 in the UK. Mechanically, it was not a radical departure from the late '60s T250 Super Six. The secret of the X7's speed is not a huge leap forward in engine technology, but rather a crash diet. At only 128kg, the X7 is a staggering 18kg less than the GT250B and C models it replaced, and 23.5kg lighter than Yamaha's air-cooled RD250. Adopting a single downtube frame over the older GT's twin downtube layout shaved almost 1.5kg from the X7's chassis, and its ultra-compact engine weighs 7.3kg less than the 'old' GT250B/C mill. The X7's combination of power and light weight worked brilliantly and the bike was virtually the same from 1978 until it made way for the RG250 Gamma in 1983. In five years all that changed were its colours and graphics, and a switch to rectangular indicators and a one-piece clock housing in 1980. KNP had been well restored by a previous owner who stripped the engine, overhauled the crank and fitted new pistons, rings, small ends, bearings and seals, the frame was stripped and powder coated, with new bearings, the forks were rebuilt, carb overhauled, new cables, and electrics including a Rexspeed CDI unit, all the bodywork was resprayed, a new seat fitted as well as tyres and battery. Then it was set up on a rolling road for the Higgspeed exhaust system. Our vendor purchased it in December 2018 but there was a slight oil leak from the gearbox so he rebuild it with new seal, apart from that little has been done with apart from the occasional ride out. MOT's from 1995 at 20,397 and 1996 at 21,633 together with the 2017 one at 27,747, confirm its mileage; today it is 27,775. Sold with the V5C and old MOTS, the bike started instantly when the cataloguer viewed it and produced the video.
1978 Honda CB400F2, 408cc. Registration number PKC 881S. Frame number CB400F2-1088487. Engine number CB400F-E-1084345. Now regarded as one of the classics of the 1970s, the Honda 400 Four first appeared in 1974. Described as 'the poor boy's muscle bike', its combination of a four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine in a 250-sized package endowed it a performance better than many 500s. With a stylish four-into-one exhaust, six gears and rear-set footrests, it was every boy-racer's dream and a huge commercial success. Comparing it to the opposition, Bike magazine reckoned the CB400 'represents a brilliantly engineered concept. It retains its appeal on several fronts: it's a four-stroke, and an awful lot of people are biased towards four-strokes; it's as quick as the two-strokes, yet on average road use will give considerably better fuel consumption; its handling is noticeably better than the two-strokes; and who can dispute that it's easily the best sounding 400?' PKC had an unknown history until 2017 when Robert Knight acquired it and began its restoration, quickly moving it on to our vendor who has fully restored it, including powder coating the frame and a repaint by Dream Machine of Nottingham, the engine has been fully overhauled and all running gear has as well,most of the parts have come from David Silver. Retaining its original mileage of some 46,000 miles these machine has hardly seen the road since completion. Offered for sale as our vendor is moving to a smaller property without the storage for his collection. Sold with the V5C, receipts for parts and works undertaken, Spicers can highly recommend this machine.
1976 Kawasaki KH 400, 400 cc. Registration number OBA 596P. Frame number S3F32169. Engine number S3E032690. Capitalizing on the success of the outrageous Mach III 500, Kawasaki followed up with a range of basically similar two-stroke triples, introducing the 750 H2, 250 S1 and 350 S2 in 1971. In 1973 the S2 was superseded by the 400cc S3, which boasted a longer wheelbase, disc front brake, rubber-mounted engine and - surprisingly - a few less horsepower than its 350cc predecessor. Although slightly down on performance, the S3 could nudge 110mph and raced through the quarter-mile in a little over 14 seconds, figures that put it at the head of its class. The H and S series ceased production after 1975, and the model line became the KH series in 1976, omitting the 750 from the lineup and leaving just the KH250, KH400 and KH500. Model designations changed to 'KH' in 1976, the new KH400 incorporating various improvements including CDI ignition. Stricter emissions regulation and advances in 4-stroke technology caused the demise of the Kawasaki triples in both cases in 1980. Outrageous and uncompromising in their day, these characterful Kawasaki triples have become highly collectible in recent years. OBA was first registered in the UK in December 2016 with a mileage of 9,929 , presumably an import from the USA, soon it was with a Graham Mableson. Our vendor bought it in August 2017 from The Bike Specialists of Sheffield with a mileage of 9,930. He has added only a few miles since, today it is at 10,099 miles. Sold with the V5C, various receipts and old MOT's this machine is highly recommended by Spicers. Offered for sale as our vendor is moving to a smaller property without the storage for his collection, Spicers can highly recommend this machine.
1972 Suzuki GT750 J, 750cc. Registration number YOD 709K. Frame number GT750 - 18823. Engine number GT750 - 65118 The GT750 was unveiled to much fanfare at the 1971 Tokyo show. This was Suzuki's answer to the Honda CB750, and the Kawasaki H2, but was very different to both. Driven by an in-line 3 cylinder 2-stroke engine, the 'Kettle' was also liquid cooled. Suzuki surprisingly opted for drum brakes (on the original), but the front was a 9 inch 4-leading shoe design, so was actually reasonably powerful. The engine was very impressive, with a nice flat torque curve, and good acceleration from as low as 2000 rpm. The engine firing impulses corresponds to that of a 6-cyl 4-stroke so this engine type runs very smoothly when in good tune. Visually these bikes are distinguished by the characteristic water cooling radiator in front of the engine, there is a cooling fan behind the radiator which kicks in at random occasions. The bike was known for the wide power band/low end torque allowing exceptional acceleration performance from low revs, similar in characteristics to the triple 2-stroke air cooled Kawasaki H2 750 (Mach IV) but more 'civilised'. The GT750 was not the first large displacement liquid cooled two stroke motorcycle, or even the first two stroke triple - that honour goes to Scott Motorcycles in the UK which produced a very small number (specifically eight !) of 750cc and 1000cc liquid cooled two stroke triples in the 1934/1938 time period. However, the GT750 was the largest displacement, mass produced (roughly 71,000 were sold world wide in total), liquid cooled two stroke engine ever offered for retail sale. The 1973 model, GT750 K was announced with extra chrome plating and two 295 mm discs replacing the drum front brake. No other manufacturer was offering dual front disc brakes at this time, so this was quite a marketing coup for Suzuki. According to VOSA YOD was MOT'd in May 2103 at 23,054 miles although it was not registered with DVLA, so possibly an import. In November 2014 it was MOT'd with a mileage of 23,060, DVLA allocated the YOD registration number and it was bought by Alexandre Filho for £3,000; he commissioned an extensive rebuild of the machine spending some £7,000 on it. Stotford Engineering stripped and rebuilt the top end of the engine, rebuilt the running gear and ancillaries at a cot of £1,920. BAZ Kettle Clinic rebuilt the bottom end, including polishing the crankshaft at a cost of £1,500 and Motorcycle Works of Peterborough undertook another £1,200 of work. By 2016 it was on the road and MOT'd at 23,507 miles. Rarely used in May 2018 our vendor purchased it from Premier Motorcycles of London and had the frame powder coated and the exhaust system rechromed, at this time the speedo was changed and an MOT issued in August 2019 at 15,361 miles, today it is the same. Offered for sale as our vendor is moving to a smaller property without the storage for his collection. Sold with the V5C, current MOT, various receipts for works undertaken.
1972 Suzuki GT750 J, 750cc. Registration number PTC 42K. Frame number GT750 - 18071. Engine number GT750 18106. The GT750 was unveiled to much fanfare at the 1971 Tokyo show. This was Suzuki's answer to the Honda CB750, and the Kawasaki H2, but was very different to both. Driven by an in-line 3 cylinder 2-stroke engine, the 'Kettle' was also liquid cooled. Suzuki surprisingly opted for drum brakes (on the original), but the front was a 9 inch 4-leading shoe design, so was actually reasonably powerful. The engine was very impressive, with a nice flat torque curve, and good acceleration from as low as 2000 rpm.

However, the GT750 was the largest displacement, mass produced (roughly 71,000 were sold world wide in total), liquid cooled two stroke engine ever offered for retail sale. PTC, a rare J model, was first registered on the 5th July 1972 and its early life is unknown. In September 2013 David Bradford acquired it and began a comprehensive overhaul, including a crankshaft overhaul by Chris Applebee Engineering, the brakes were overhauled and the tinware repainted in the original Candy Jackal Blue. It was MOTed in July 2014 at 24,041 miles. In January 2017 our vendor purchased it from Chris Hall Motorcycles with a mileage of 24,328 and he then recommissioned it and had the exhaust system rechromed and the tank repainted. Little used the mileage rose to 24,414 in 2018 and 24,431 in 2019, today it stands at 24,438 and is very good condition. Offered for sale as our vendor is moving to a smaller property without the storage for his collection. Sold with the V5C, current MOT, various receipts for works undertaken.
1980 Kawasaki KZ750, 750 cc. Registration number EAM 469V. Frame number KZ750E - 007502. Engine number KZ750EE - 016741. Having established its performance credentials with the Mach III two-stroke triple, Kawasaki went on to ace the opposition with the awe-inspiring Z1. Launched in 1972, the big 'Z' spawned a range of smaller fours, the first of which was the Z650. One of the most capable sports bikes of the 1970s, the Z650 - along with the contemporary Suzuki GS750 - helped dispel the myth that big Japanese bikes didn't handle, its sturdy duplex loop frame inspiring confidence in a manner quite unlike that of its predecessor's. Effectively a Z1 in miniature, the Z650 was vastly superior to Kawasaki's existing Z750 twin, so it came as not surprise when Kawasaki bored out the smaller four to create a new 750 multi, the Z750E, using, basically, the 650's cycle parts with the addition of a second front disc brake. Unlike Kawasaki's last big twin, the BSA-clone W650, the KZ750 was thoroughly up-to-date. The 55 horsepower, 745cc twin had double overhead cams, shim and bucket valve adjustment, a Morse Hy-Vo primary drive chain and five gears. Vertical twins vibrate, so Kawasaki gave the 750 a pair of chain-driven counter balancers. It worked - mostly. Although smooth at low and moderate rpms, period testers faulted the twin for a distinct buzzing at anything over 4,000rpm, and feared it would shake itself apart at anything approaching its 7,750rpm redline: It wouldn't, it just felt that way. EAM was UK registered in September 1993 and was owned by a Howard Rowson in November 2011 when the mileage was about 14,000. Acquired by our vendor in May 2015 at 19,050 miles it has remained in his garage since. In running order, we would recommend what should only be a light recommissioning before use. Sold with the V5C.
1981 Yamaha XS650, 653cc. Registration number UNK 894W. Frame number 447- 856128. Engine number 856128. When the Yamaha XS 650 was launched in October 1969 it had one of the most advanced engines in its class of large parallel twin motorcycles. The engine and gearbox are unit construction with the crankcase split horizontally for ease of assembly whereas almost all contemporaries in its class in 1969 are either unit construction with a vertically split crankcase or pre-unit construction with separate engine and gearbox. In 1969 only the Laverda 750S, and the Honda CB350, also launched that year, matched the XS 650's modernity of unit construction and SOHC valve operation. The XS 650 was produced until 1985, with regular upgrades to the braking system, suspension and engine. UNK is an UK machine, first registered on the 31st of March 1981 and is believed to have been owned by a musician originally and our vendor bought it from a music producer who had bought from his estate in 2004. Stored unused in a barn since then when our vendor bought it in 2013 the indicated mileage was only some 6,000 miles. He has totally stripped and rebuild the machine, powder coating the frame, and other parts, the tinware was resprayed, a new wiring loom fitted, the wheels were rebuilt as were the brakes. Upon examination the engine and gearbox where found to be in very good order so have not been touched apart from a service; it was back on the road in 2019. There is a detailed history folder of the work undertaken, along with receipts for the parts/work. It is being sold to make room for his next project. Sold with the V5C, MOT until October 2020 and the history folder.
2000 Kawasaki VN1500 J-1 Drifter, 1470cc. Registration number J15 OOK. Frame number JKBVNT50JJA002441. Engine number VNT50AE075821. The Drifter is a fuel-injected, shaft driven and water cooled, part of the Kawasaki Vulcan line of cruiser motorcycles created in the classic style lines of the 1940s Indian Chief, built between 1999 and 2005. The Drifter was the result of a discussion between Ken Boyko, Don Emde, son of Indian legend Floyd Emde and John Hoover of Kawasaki. Retro motorcycles were becoming the rage and the question was posed "What would a modern up-to-date Indian look like and what kind of technology would it have?" They enlisted Denny Berg of Time Machines Inc. to build such a machine. They gave him an early 1995 Classic and the drawing and turned him loose. The final result was a motorcycle called the "Super Chief", which was taken to several shows in 1996/97 and was such a hit with the riding public that Kawasaki took the Super Chief to Japan and put it into production. Due to patent law they couldn't use the Chief moniker and up until its release the name had not been settled on. The Drifters are intended to be a "tribute" to the 1948 Indian Chief and so closely resembles the Indian Chief of the late 1940's that the uninitiated mistake it for an "old" Indian. The Drifter's design drew a positive response from reviewers who liked the Indian Chief's deeply valanced classic fender skirts as opposed to the more traditional motorcycle fender style. Rear air shock absorbers, original swingarm arrangement, and progressive front suspension made it a comfortable cruiser capable of covering great distances comfortably. OOK was first registered in September 2000 and serviced by KJM Superbike of Wigan at 794 miles the following year, serviced again at 2,047 miles, 2004, 2,095 miles in 2006, 2,260 in 2008, and at 3,560 miles. Purchased by our vendor in April of this year at 23,485 miles but he finds it too heavy to use. Sold with V5C, MOT until April 2021, complete MOT history back to 2003, confirming the current mileage, service book and owners manual. The machine has been well looked after and started up easily when viewed for photography and it certainly has street presence.
2011 Norton Commando 961 Sport, 961 cc. Registration number KJ51 COM. Frame number SAYCMM01SAY000213. Engine number 501/0037. Few motorcycle makers (outside Italy) have had as troubled a history as Norton, which over the last 40 years has undergone periodic revivals, all of which, ultimately, failed. Norton's enduring fascination stems from a reputation forged on the world's racetracks during the first six decades of the 20th Century, when the silver-and-black bikes from the Bracebridge Street factory swept all before them. The revitalised company existed until recently, Stuart Garner, acquired the rights to the Norton name from its US owners in 2008. Development and production of a new Commando model had been begun by Kenny Dreer of Oregon in the late 1990's and this all-new design was further developed at Norton's factory at the Donington Park race circuit. Recognisably related to the last Commando of the 1970's, the new café racer-style Norton roadster boasts an over-square (88x79mm) air-cooled overhead-valve twin-cylinder engine incorporating a 270° crankshaft and counter-balancer. A maximum output of 82bhp (at the rear wheel) is claimed, giving a top speed of over 130mph; deliveries of the new Norton Commando 961 SE commenced in 2010. On 29 January 2020, it was announced that the company had gone into administration and on the 17 April, it was reported that India's TVS Motor Company had acquired the business in a £16 million cash deal. COM was purchased from Norton on the 26th January 2011 by Karl Jackson, and serviced by them in June 2011 at 559 miles, MOT'd in June 2014 for the first time at 933 miles and a year later at the same mileage, in 2016 it was serviced and MOT'd by Krazy Horse of Bury St. Edmunds at 1034 miles. In 2017 it was purchased by our vendor from The Bike Specialists of Sheffield and MOT'd at 1047 miles. In 2019 he had it MOT'd at 1,119 miles and today it is at the same mileage. Sold with the V5C, MOT until August 2019, service book, handbook, wallet, two keys and various receipts; the battery is new. Offered for sale as our vendor is moving to a smaller property without the storage for his collection, Spicers can highly recommend this machine.
1953 Sunbeam S8, 489cc. Registration number SSL 421 (non tranferrable). Frame number S7 5792. Engine number S8 10297. A wartime design by Erling Poppe, the Sunbeam inline twin was introduced by BSA, owners of Sunbeam Cycles Limited, in 1947, loosely based on the BMW R75 designs that were acquired as war reparations by BSA). Built in Redditch, the unusual engine layout was similar to that of a car, being a longitudinally mounted inline vertical OHC 500 cc twin based on an experimental 1932 BSA design (the Line-Ahead-Twin - LAT) with coil ignition and wet sump lubrication which, through a dry clutch, drove a shaft drive to the rear wheel. The inline engine made this technologically feasible-horizontally-opposed ("flat") twin engines on BMW motorcycles had already used shaft drives following the system employed by Nimbus in 1918. A luxury tourer, it was of advanced specification. The clutch housing and four-speed gearbox bolted directly to the back of the engine, which was rubber mounted in the duplex loop frame, an innovation that required a flexible joint in the exhaust system ahead of the silencer. The first S7 version was equipped with balloon tyres, a feature not carried over to the deliberately more conventional and also lighter and cheaper, S8 introduced in 1949. The front fork and 7" brake were now standard BSA components and there were numerous other changes made in the interests of rationalisation. Never as popular as BSA's more performance orientated models, the gentlemanly S7 and S8 remained in production until 1957. SSL would appear to have been recommissioned in March 1991 when it was re registered with DVLA, By 2001 it was with David Edsar and our vendors father purchased it in 2003, MOT's in 2000 show a mileage of 3,590, in 2002 at 3905, 2005 at 3,906. Today it shows the same 3,906. Having been stored in a dry garage for the last 15 years it will require recommissioning before use on the road. Sold with the V5C and three old MOT's, please note DVLA has the frame and engine recorded as 57 and 58 not S7 and S8.
1949 Sunbeam S8 Project, 498cc. Registration number MSV 955. Frame number S8 2240. Engine number unknown. A luxury tourer, it was of advanced specification. The clutch housing and four-speed gearbox bolted directly to the back of the engine, which was rubber mounted in the duplex loop frame, an innovation that required a flexible joint in the exhaust system ahead of the silencer. The first S7 version was equipped with balloon tyres, a feature not carried over to the deliberately more conventional and also lighter and cheaper, S8 introduced in 1949. The front fork and 7" brake were now standard BSA components and there were numerous other changes made in the interests of rationalisation. Never as popular as BSA's more performance orientated models, the gentlemanly S7 and S8 remained in production until 1957. This project was registered with DVLA by our vendors father in 1983 and consists of the frame, various tinware, three part engines and other parts, prospective purchases should satisfy themselves as to the completeness of the project. Sold with the V5.
1969 Royal Enfield Cafe Racer Project, 250 cc. Registration number XYF 371G. Frame number 9172. Engine number 8441. Royal Enfield was the brand name under which The Enfield Cycle Company Limited of Redditch, Worcestershire, sold motorcycles, bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines which they had manufactured. Enfield Cycle Company also used the brand name Enfield without Royal. The first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901. The Enfield Cycle Company is responsible for the design and original production of the Royal Enfield Bullet, the longest living motorcycle design in history. The 250cc class was important in the UK as it was the largest engine which a learner could ride without passing a test. In the late 1950's and early 1960's, Royal Enfield produced a number of 250cc machines, including a racer, a Scrambler with the biggest-seller being the Crusader, a 248cc pushrod overhead valve single producing 18bhp. Our vendor purchased this machine in November 2018 with the intention of building a cafe racer in the Continental mould. He had the engine rebuilt by Steve Wilson, see letter on file, the frame has been powder coated, new rims and spokes, new exhaust, there is a list of the new parts included to finish the project including a new loom and used parts. Sold with the V5C, various paperwork and the spares.
1954 Ariel Huntmaster, 650cc, project. Registration number 933 CMY. Frame number DU 1044 (see text). Engine number LF 251.Following Ariel's acquisition by the BSA Group in 1951, an exercise in 'badge engineering' a few years later saw the launch of a new model - the Huntmaster - which deployed the 650cc twin-cylinder engine of the BSA A10 in Ariel's new swinging-arm frame. In Ariel guise the power unit differed only in detail, its origins being disguised beneath a reshaped timing cover, while on the primary drive side Ariel's traditional 'dry' clutch was retained. The factory claimed a top speed of 90-95mph, with fuel consumption of 65-70mpg when cruising at 45mph. Produced from 1954, the Huntmaster disappeared along with the rest of Ariel's four-strokes in 1959.First registered in November 1954 this machine was with John Thompson in 1971 before our vendor bought it in 1972. Prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to the completeness of this project.Sold with the V5 and V.E. 60, please note that they both list the frame as DU 1195 not 1044.
1957 Ariel Red Hunter, 497cc, project. Registration number WNN 952. Frame number APR 4789. Engine number AMB 508 (see text).In 1946 the Red Hunters became the first models to feature Ariel's new telescopic front fork, and the following year could be ordered with the optional Anstey Link plunger rear suspension. A new duplex loop frame with swinging-arm rear suspension was adopted for 1954 and the 500cc VH gained an alloy 'head at the same time (a feature the 350cc NH would not enjoy until the 1956 range was announced).This project was owned by Mr Wright of North Frodingham in 1962, before he sold it to A J Twiddle in the early 1970's and then S Ariss in 1975, our vendor bought it from him shortly thereafter. Prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to the completeness of the project.Sold with the V5 and V.E. 60, please note that they both list the engine as AMB 808, not 508.
