Registration No: DS 9445 Frame No: H326 MOT: ExemptPart of a private collection for many yearsA rare Pioneer machineAn older restorationBelieved to have completed in a few Pioneer RunsFounded by William Paddon of Hampton-in-Arden, Warwickshire, the Hampton marque survived in various guises from 1912 to 1933. A manufacturer of both motorcycles and motorcars, it operated from premises in Lifford Mills, King’s Norton, Worcestershire. The first Hampton two-wheeler debuted in 1912 featured a 3 1/2 hp single-cylinder engine of in-house design, Saxon forks and belt drive. A smaller capacity, 2 1/2 hp model arrived the following year, while 1914 saw Hampton offer another 3 1/2 hp machine but powered by a proprietary ‘TDC’ engine (T.D. Cross & Sons of Birmingham). Comprehensively outsold in period by bigger makes, surviving Hamptons are very few and far between. Reputedly restored to a high standard before joining the late vendor’s extensive collection of British motorcycles in the late 1970s, this TDC-engined Hampton has been on static display for many years. Seemingly complete, it will require recommissioning prior to use. Said to have completed a number of Pioneer Runs in the past, this exceptionally rare (and possibly even unique) the Hampton has no registration document but the number is live on the DVLA database which should hopefully make applying for a current V5C easier.

In 1907, a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race, starting a long tradition of sporting excellence. Developed for their Manx Norton race bikes, the legendary featherbed frame eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc Dominator twin cylinder engine. By the late 1950s the engine had been increased in capacity to 600cc fitted into the classic featherbed frame matched to equally iconic Roadholder front forks and alloy full width hubs. This good-looking 'Dommie' has been part of an enthusiast's private collection for the last few years. Authentically restored in the past, keeping a good degree of originality, it is finished in Norton's Polychromatic Grey paintwork, a quite ambitious colour scheme in the 1950s when most bikes were just plain Black. Used by the vendor until last summer, it will need the normal checks before use, but once recommissioned will make a stylish mount for summer runs. One of the most sought-after Nortons from the era, it comes supplied with many old MOTs, some manuals and a current V5C.

Harley-Davidson is the archetype for large-capacity cruisers which many have tried to copy but never quite equalled Harley's image and prestige. The Sportster in its various guises has been in the Harley catalogue since the 1950s and has often been a motorcyclist's first introduction to the mystique of owning and riding one of these iconic bikes. Powered by the classic air-cooled V-twin engine in a nice simple frame, its low seat height and relative light weight make it an ideal all rounder. This 2010 Sportster 883R is a good-looking bike presented in Harley's classic Orange and Black race team colours. Displaying a credible c.12,575 miles on its speedo, unusually for a Sportster it is offered in essentially standard trim with just the rear shocks having been upgraded to a pair of Hagons and a Hagon front-fork kit fitted to improve the ride. The bike is also fitted with a chrome rear carrier, a backrest and a pair of spot lights up front. A new drive belt was fitted in June 2023 and it is protected with a Carole Nash Insurance 'DNA Protection' kit and will come supplied with a current V5C.

Whilst the basic engine layout is nearly 100 years old, constant improvements have kept it at the forefront of motorcycle design and together with some avant-garde suspension concepts BMW Boxers are still amongst the most desirable and best selling bikes in the world today. This 1992 BMW R80 was purchased by the late vendor in 1995 (receipt on file). The R80 was not used much in the current ownership due to the use of the other R80 in the sale. It was always maintained and used in better weather conditions. The overall condition is very good and very original, as evident from our inspection. The R80 has not been used for several years and will require some recommissioning before placing it back on the road again. It is offered complete with a current V5C, a purchase invoice, many MOT certificates, two sets of keys and a handbook. To be sold at 'no reserve'.

There was slight cross-over between the two models in 1957 when they would be found side by side in showrooms. The Mk3 differed from previous versions of the LD with its handlebar mounted casting that housed the horn and a fixed glovebox inside the leg shield that housed the speedometer and a location for a clock. There was also a larger rear light and slightly larger and more comfortable saddles.This example was first registered new in April 1958 by Wests dealership in Lincoln with the buff logbook showing a number of owners in the Lincoln area, Nottingham and then Lincoln again up until 1965. Our vendor acquired it from his daughter-in-law's father who had owned it since the mid-1960s. A motorcycle enthusiast, the vendor then restored it. The scooter looks to be in good order and retains most of the original parts including the original speedometer which reads c.18,953 miles, believed to be genuine. With a fully reconditioned engine, we were able to see the scooter running and functioning very well at the time of consignment.

Lot 314

Registration No: GW 7641 Frame No: T1559 MOT: ExemptEarly overhead cam 600cc modelUnique 'square four' engine layoutSupplied with a dating letter and a V5CLike many British motorcycle companies, Ariel began producing bicycles in the late 1800s eventually progressing onto motorcycles in 1902. After a typically rocky few years for manufacturers in the early part of the century, the company was bought by Jack Sangster from the receivers at a bargain price in the early 1930s. The company was renamed Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd, and promptly resumed production in a new factory in Selly Oak Birmingham. One of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner, who at the time was looking for work and showing drawings of his engine designs to various motorcycle manufacturers. The design was rejected by BSA but adopted by Ariel, becoming their prestige model for the next 30 years. In the days of predominately single-cylinder engines a square four layout was very advanced and the bike stayed in production until the late 1950s. The engine was initially a 500cc with overhead cams and was essentially a pair of across-frame parallel twins joined by their geared central flywheels before being bored out to 600cc in 1932. A very expensive engine to produce, it was given a major revamp in 1939 to become an easier to manufacture 1000cc motor with overhead valves (OHV) in place of the overhead cams (OHC).This beautiful Square Four has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection and is rare and a extremely collectable model. According to records supplied by the Ariel Owner's Club, it was dispatched to Hackford Motors in London on Tab No.11554 fitted with engine no.T701 and first registered in early March 1932. The bike has been restored over recent years with the crank overhauled by Alpha Bearings, a new oil pump fitted together with a new pair of period correct tires. The innovative Ariel Square Four remains unique in the history of motorcycling, with only Suzuki many years later producing a very different two-stroke Square Four 500cc model. Promoted as 'a true gentleman's motorcycle', it is now highly prized by discerning enthusiasts, especially the early overhead cam models. Supplied with letters from the owner's club and a V5C, this bike would grace any collection. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Registration No: 966 XUB Frame No: 175TV3*510570 MOT: ExemptFrom a deceased estateCorrect numbersV5C for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV175 Series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 Series 2 with new sleek styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV Series 2 models. The TV Series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. This early 1962 example comes with original later version side panels. Only 188 numbers apart, the engine and frame are correct and original. In our opinion there are original parts all over the machine, including rare and valuable items including the front disc brake hub assembly, rear frame badge, 'jug eared' rear crash bars and a Giuliari seat re-covered in Green. It has been technically upgraded with new 12v electrics and tubeless wheel rims. There is a sensibly priced reserve.

Lot 268

Registration No: DEY 482C Frame No: 70281 MOT: ExemptRoyal Enfield's sporty 250 singleAlloy rims and replacement alloy petrol tankSupplied with a manual and a current V5CThe first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch, having previously manufactured bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day, making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. The 250cc single-cylinder Crusader was a very popular bike in its day and doubtless sparked the interest of many a future motorcyclist. The Bright Red Continental GT sports version was launched in November 1964 in a blaze of publicity. The company organized a ride from John O’Groats to Land’s End to be completed in 24 hours, with various journalists riding the bike. As an extra test, former World Champion Geoff Duke completed a few laps of Oulton Park and John Cooper completed eight laps of the near-frozen Silverstone race track, the quickest at a very impressive 73mph average. Including stopping off at the race tracks, the whole trip took just 22 hours and 20 minutes.This Continental GT has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection for the past 5 years. An older restoration, it is presented in period trim with a small flyscreen, clip-on handlebars, alloy rims and cooling discs on the front drum. The original fibreglass fuel tank suffered with modern day fuel, so it has been replaced with an alloy copy. A neat lightweight and easy to manage classic, it was ridden last summer by the vendor, but has not run since, it will need the normal recommissioning checks before use. A bike that would have provided many future motorcyclists their first taste of 2 wheels in the 1960s, it comes supplied with a workshop manual and a current V5C.

The Gradua system simultaneously changed the diameter of the crankshaft belt-drive pulley to alter the drive ratio, while moving the rear wheel forward or back to maintain belt tension. The Gradua system was among the first attempts to provide multiple drive ratios for a motorcycle, at a time when very simple, direct belt-drive transmission was the industry norm. This 1912 Zenith Gradua 680 V-Twin has just come out of its 25 year storage, and presents a wonderful opportunity to restore one of the great Veteran machines of the day. It is mostly complete with some small sundry components missing. The Zenith turns over with compression and is complete with its starting handle. Sold as a project with a current V5C, Pioneer Certificate and some 1980s photographs of the machine. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

In 1910 Bianchi designed a 498cc single that proved to be very successful and established Bianchi as a respected motorcycle manufacturer with a range of models that included a 600cc V-twin. Bianchi became a prominent name in the motorcycle racing world with bikes such as the DOHC 350cc works racer designed by Albino Baldi, Bianchi's chief engineer, becoming probably the most successful Italian racing bike at the time ridden by riders such as the legendary Tazio Nuvolari and Alberto Ascari. The company also created a car brand, Autobianchi, in 1955 in collaboration with Pirelli and Fiat and kept producing motorcycles until the late 1960s before returning to their roots and concentrating on high quality racing bicycles. This rare in the UK Bianchi Tonale 175, being offered with no reserve, is a typically stylish overhead-cam sports model with a unit construction engine housed in a twin loop frame with full-width alloy hubs. The lightweight sports class was very popular in Italy at the time, with most manufacturers designing bikes to compete in long distance events like the Moto Giro d'Italia, with Bianchi winning the race in 1956 ridden by works rider Osvaldo Perfetti. The Sandro Colombo designed Tonale was way in advance of anything being offered by its British contemporaries but also considerably more expensive. Unusually, according to the registration document, this example appears to have spent all of its life in the UK being first registered in June 1961. It comes supplied with most of a spare engine, a megaphone and a racing seat together with current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

It is the earliest member of the Ninja family of sport bikes. The 1984 GPZ900R (or ZX900A-1) was a revolutionary design that became the immediate predecessor of the modern-day sports bike. Developed over six years, it was Kawasaki's and the world's first 16-valve liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder motorcycle engine. Being the grandfather of modern-day superbikes, the GPZ brought in a lot of industry firsts. The world’s first production motorcycle to cross the 150mph mark, with a top speed of 155mph. In the movie ‘Top Gun’ (1986), ‘Maverick’ had no doubts as to which bike he’d be riding, especially when he was more accustomed to flying supersonic fighter jets, albeit without the Kawasaki badges.This 1989 Kawasaki GPZ 900R was sold by Frasiers of Gloucester on 21st September 1989 and hails from later in the production run, hence its striking Black and Gold livery. The GPZ has had just 4 previous owners from new and displays just over 20,000 miles. It is in mostly original condition for its age with good Black chrome silencers, but there are some signs of general use on the paintwork, which is to be expected for its age. The machine has just had all of its carburettors overhauled and set up, along with a service that included a new clutch and is now described by the vendor as 'running very well indeed'. There's vast amount of receipts on file for parts and work carried out on the machine over the years, it's also supported by some 25 MOT certificates, some 20 tax discs, handbooks and a service book.

Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle, 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 launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomise British motorcycles of the post-war years. To mark Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee in 1977, Triumph manufactured a special Silver Jubilee edition of the Bonneville. 1,000 were produced for the UK, with a further 1,000 for the USA and 400 more for other overseas markets, all featuring a stylish Silver, Red, White and Blue colour scheme. The side panels bore one of three legends: Limited Edition, One of a Thousand, or Limited International Edition. It is thought that the UK market machines got 'Limited Edition', the US machines got 'One of a Thousand', and the rest got 'Limited International Edition'. This 1977 Triumph Bonneville Silver Jubilee limited edition, is a genuine UK example, purchased by the current vendor to go with his collection of limited edition Triumphs. This machine has sat next to a 'Royal Wedding' edition and a US specification 'Jubilee' 'Bonnie', also on offer in the sale.

Registration No: EFH 256M Frame No: 15944 MOT: ExemptUsed and very much enjoyed by the vendorMany upgrades during ownershipDescribed as a rider's machinePaperwork and V5C on fileLaverda had built their two-wheeled reputation on the production of high quality, lightweight machines supported by an active competition programme that resulted in successes in the long distance road races popular in Italy during the1950s. However, by the early 1960s the domestic Italian motorcycle market was starting to decline as the populace became more affluent acquiring small cars such as the Fiat 500 instead of lightweight motorcycles. Massimo Laverda, the son of the Laverda founder Francesco, recognised the need for the company to diversify into new markets and consequently pushed for the development of a new large capacity machine. The result made its debut at the 1966 Earls Court Show in November 1966. Displacing 653cc, the twin cylinder single overhead cam engine was clearly influenced by the contemporary Honda CB 72/77, and developed a claimed 55bhp housed in a steel tubular backbone chassis. The new model was quickly joined by a 750cc version typed the 750 GT, this was followed in 1969 by the 750S and in 1970 by the first of the SF series which adopted new drum brakes, the SF in the title standing for "super freno", 'super brake' in English, but otherwise was similar to the preceding machine, retaining its robust nature and excellent performance. This Laverda SF2 was imported to the UK in 1987. In the vendor's ownership, the machine has been the subject of an engine overhaul in 2000, with new pistons, rings, 5C sport camshaft and new valves. More recently, the Laverda underwent recommissioning in 2024, including fitting a pair of new Dellorto 36mm PHF carburettors, K&N air filter, fuel lines, Champion N2 plugs, refurbished speedo and tacho, a reupholstered single seat unit, new chain guards and DAM Racing Easy Clutch actuator. The ignition has also been upgraded to a Mott Witt system with the coil and also includes rare factory rear sets and clip-on handle bars, a stainless steel exhaust system, a powder coated frame, braided brake lines and an upgraded Brembo master brake cylinder. This Laverda has been described as in 'good working order and a rider's machine and certainly not a show queen'. MOT history shows that the bike has only covered 4,500 miles since 2006. It is being offered with a file of paperwork and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

A road-going sports derivative was added in 1961 and off-road versions, for Trials and Scrambles, were also available in the range. This very smart 1965 BSA C15 was fully restored to a very high standard in 2019. There is a memory stick full of pictures of the restoration and work that has been carried out.

In the 1970s they made over 220,000 motorcycles annually, mainly for the domestic market and countries behind the Iron Curtain but also exporting to countries such as Italy, Norway, Australia and from 1973 to 1979 were marketed in the UK by SATRA under the brand name Cossack. This rare example of a Russian motorcycle is from a deceased estate and is being offered with 'no reserve'.

They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary 400/4 was launched in 1975 to great acclaim and revolutionised medium capacity motorcycles giving riders 500cc performance in a small lightweight package with a café racer look, lower handlebars, rear-set foot pegs and one of its most recognisable features, a swooping four-into-one exhaust system. This 400 Four (400F or 400/4) was first registered in 1976 and still has its original supplying dealer Fosters of Chorlton transfers on the side panels and name on the rear number plate. The bike has essentially been in storage since it was bought by a previous owner in 1993 and then by the current vendor in 2011, who preserved it in a vacuum bag. The engine turns over on the kickstarter but it has not run for many years so will need a good recommissioning before use. Showing a credible 6,976 miles on its speedo and whilst having rust on its chrome-work, it is presented in amazingly original condition. All the paintwork appears to be as supplied nearly 50 years ago and it even still has its now yellowed plastic coating on the brake and clutch levers.

In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-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 1996 Ducati 600 Monster has only covered 391 miles from new. The first owner had the Ducati in his office for many years before he finally sold it. The current owner purchased the machine due to its low mileage and then set about doing some light cosmetic work on it, with a full service carried out by Chris Walker from Ducati in Grantham, this included all the belts and fluids, including all the brakes and brake lines due to some perishing.

After a typically rocky few years for manufacturers in the early part of the century, the company was bought by Jack Sangster from the receivers at a bargain price in the early 1930s. The company was renamed Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd, and promptly resumed production in a new factory in Selly Oak, Birmingham. One of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner, who at the time was looking for work and showing drawings of his engine designs to various motorcycle manufacturers. The design was rejected by BSA but adopted by Ariel, becoming their prestige model for the next 30 years. In the days of predominately single-cylinder engines, a 'square four' layout was very advanced, the bike staying in production until the late 1950s. The engine was initially a 500cc with overhead cams and was essentially a pair of across-frame parallel twins joined by their geared central flywheels before being bored out to 600cc in 1932. A very expensive engine to produce, it was given a major revamp in 1939 to become an easier to manufacture 1000cc motor with overhead valves in place of the OHC.

Stevens began producing motorcycles in 1897 and soon became known as simply AJS. An amalgamation with Matchless in 1931 formed AMC which continued until the group's closure in the mid-1960s. The company promoted its standard road bikes by successfully competing in sports events with some advanced designs such as the pre-war AJS 500 with a water-cooled and supercharged V4 engine. On resumption of sports events after WW2, Les Graham won the first 500cc World Championship on the twin-cylinder AJS Porcupine in 1949. The 7R was an OHC single-cylinder 350cc racing motorcycle built from 1948 to 1963 that was soon nicknamed the ‘Boy Racer’. Together with its bigger brother, the Matchless G50, it was the mainstay of racing throughout the 1950/60s winning many events for both the works team and privateers alike, becoming one of the most successful over-the-counter competition motorcycles of all time.This stunning-looking 7R was bought by the vendor 10 years ago to add to his small private collection of British classics. In 2018 the bike was recommissioned by recognised expert Stuart Tonge who carried out an in-depth engine overhaul and a brakes and suspension service at a cost of £3,758. Once completed it was run up on a dyno showing it putting out just under 32bhp with an open 'mega'. Since then it has been run each year and then returned to dry storage. It is thought to be one of three bikes run by legendary sponsor and tuner Tom Arter in 1961, as part of his race team that fielded riders such as New Zealander Hugh Anderson and Canadian Mike Duff. As is always the case with race bikes, it is difficult to verify this as the bikes would have been constantly taken apart and rebuilt throughout their competition career. It's rare to find such an iconic and originally presented bike as this and it will make a fantastic addition to any collection. It comes supplied with copies of the dyno charts and the receipt for the recommissioning work from Stuart Tonge.

Many of the parts were imported from Italy and the 152L2 is unique in that it has a mix of Italian and British made parts. The engine was a rotary inducted design which improved reliability, gave more power but reduced fuel consumption and required less oil in the fuel mix with the carburettor was relocated to a position just above the engine. As a whole package it was a much more professional looking machine whilst retaining many similar features of the desirable lines of the GS. They are now becoming increasingly collectible as with most of the Bristol made Vespas. This 152L2 with correct engine and chassis numbers is in a well presented condition. Restored by SRP Racetech of Bridgewater, the paintwork was carried out by Steve Robertson of Taunton.

Debuting in 1919, the Verus range included 211cc and 269cc two-stroke engines of its own manufacture as well as larger proprietary four-stroke units from Blackburne and JAP. Appearing to be substantially complete even down to its branded footplates, this rare surviving Verus is thought to date from circa 1920. Part of a collection of rare and unusual Vintage motorcycles, it has been off the road and unregistered for years. Pleasingly retaining its Verus engine, the lightweight single will require recommissioning / renovation prior to use. Entered from a deceased estate, it is being sold without reserve or paperwork.

Registration No: H197 PDT Frame No: GR7AA 102792 MOT: March 2026Clean and original 1990 Slingshot modelStill with its original stainless exhaust fittedServiced and MOT'd recently, with a V5CThe Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. An initial diversification into 4-wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war, Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles, by the early 1960s they were second only to Honda in number of two-wheelers manufactured. The oil-cooled GSXR750 was launched in 1985 and revolutionized the sports bike market, making all the other manufacturer's offerings obsolete overnight and dominating production-based racing around the world. Suddenly you could go to your local shop and buy a race ready bike over the counter, just take off the mirrors and indicators and race it that weekend. Famously Trevor Nation rode an early GSXR750F to a couple of Formula One World Championship races in Portugal and Spain with his tent strapped on the back, running in the top six in both races until problems with the gear change linkage slowed him down. The GSXR range eventually spread out to include race replicas from 250cc to 1100cc models. By the early 1990s the bikes became water-cooled to comply with noise regulations, but the 'Gixxer' range kept its reputation as the sports bike rider’s choice.

Suddenly you could go to your local shop and buy a race ready bike over the counter, just take off the mirrors and indicators and race it that weekend and the 'Gixxer built up an enviable reputation as an out and out sports bike.This GSXR750 Slingshot is presented in excellent and original condition, even down to the genuine Suzuki end can, showing just a credible 8360 miles on the speedo. The 1990 'L' model was the first to be fitted with upside-down front forks and the engine had reverted to the earlier long stroke design more favoured by racers. A bike that was built to be used and abused in its day, few will have survived in original and standard condition and many have suffered the ignomy of being converted into Streetfighters. This excellent example is still a very usable performance bike that has all the potential to be a fast appreciating future classic. It has been MOTd every year up until 2019 and has been serviced and MOTd in March this year and will be supplied with a current V5C.

Registration No: WPT 6F Frame No: 72715 MOT: ExemptA sporty Royal Enfield GTLarge file of receipts for work and partsSpare parts included in the saleA current V5C is on fileThe first Royal Enfield motorcycle was built in 1901 by the Enfield Cycle Company of Redditch which had previously manufactured bicycles, lawnmowers and stationary engines. Under various ownership, the name has continued through to the present day, making it one of the longest-lasting names in the two-wheeled world. The 250cc single-cylinder Crusader was a very popular bike in its day and doubtless sparked the interest of many a future motorcyclist. The Bright Red Continental GT sports version was launched in November 1964 in a blaze of publicity. The company organised a ride from John O’Groats to Land’s End to be completed in 24 hours, with various journalists riding the bike. As an extra test, former World Champion Geoff Duke completed a few laps of Oulton Park and John Cooper completed eight laps of the near-frozen Silverstone race track, the quickest at a very impressive 73mph average. Including stopping off at the race tracks, the whole trip took just 22 hours and 20 minutes. This 1967 Royal Enfield Continental GT was purchased by the late vendor as a project and since in his ownership he has carried out a lot of work on the engine and with some upgrades as well. Sadly, this Enfield has not been finished, however, it should necessitate little work to complete. It is offered with a host of spares including its fairings and sundry items. There is a current V5C, a copy of a workshop manual and its original RF60 logbook. It is offered at 'no reserve'. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

The firm built its first competition models in 1952 and introduced a scrambler a couple of years later. A scooter, the 98cc Bambi, had been added to the range by 1960, but DMW’s next offering in this category would be more unusual. First seen in 1961, the Deemster was intended to combine the riding position and handling characteristics of a conventional motorcycle with scooter-type weather protection and enclosure. The Deemster’s twin-cylinder Villiers 250cc 2T engine was located centrally, in the motorcycle position, while the interchangeable wheels were 12” in diameter. Suspension was by leading-link fork at the front, with rubber ‘spring’ and single hydraulic damper, and by swinging arm at the rear. The frame was made up from a combination of round and square-section tubing to which a large box fabricated box was attached, supporting the seat and rear dampers while providing sufficient luggage space to accommodate two crash helmets. With its tall screen, twin headlamps, generously sized leg shields and voluminous front mudguard, the Deemster was certainly eye-catching. Only 350 were produced and a police version proved the bulk of these sales with around 250 sold to police fleets.This scooter’s known history from new starts when Staffordshire Police purchased eight of these machines registered MRE 1B through to MRE 8B. First registration is stated as 1st August 1964, as confirmed by the accompanying old style blue log book The original rider assigned was Constable Frederick Fox and we have learned that Fred was so attached to the machine that when it was retired from service he bought it. He later donated it to the Staffordshire Police museum which, in 2002, released it onto the market when it was purchased by our vendor though he never used it. The scooter is complete and appears to be in exceptionally good original condition having been stored with a coating of grease which has even preserved all rubbers. No attempt was made to start it upon inspection but we observed that the engine turns freely. Offered with current V5C, original tools, users handbooks and a workshop manual for the Villers engine.

Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle 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, thus launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The 3-cylinder 750cc Trident was essentially one and a half 500cc twins and proved to be the last success story for the company, with the bike going on to dominate the early years of the Formula 750 race series. This 1975 Triumph Trident T160, with its striking livery, is a genuine UK-supplied T160 from new. The Trident presents very well and has formed part of a private collection since it was acquired by the current vendor. The previous owner has carried out some restoration work on the T160 to a good standard with the engine having been stripped and rebuilt using some upgrade parts such as Tri-Spark ignition, 12v coil, negative earth with relays, high-output battery, plasma coated valves, Cosibro guides, Hepolite pistons with Omega rings, a re-ground crank with shells and screws and a new machined clutch, with the majority of the parts and work having been supplied by L. P Williams. Although the machine has been started from time to time, some general checks may be required before use. The Triumph is offered with a current V5C, receipts from LP Williams and a purchase receipt. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest producer in the world. They have gone on to manufacture over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The JDM Japanese Domestic Market favoured smaller capacity bikes, especially in the 250cc to 400cc bracket. Many of the 600cc and above models Honda sold in Europe were offered on the home market in smaller capacity versions, creating some wonderful lightweight sports bikes. Some of these made their way to the UK through the grey import market, allowing us access to these pocket rockets. This 250 Hornet has a 4-cylinder DOHC engine that revs to an incredible 16,000rpm, housed in an unfaired chassis sporting a distinctive high-level silencer offering good performance in a lightweight package. It has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection for the last 10 years and was probably his favourite bike to ride. Its higher handlebars provide a comfortable riding position with a fairly low seat height. Run recently, it is offered with a number of old MOTs and a current V5C.
