1915 Hobart Two-Stroke Bike Year: 1915 Bike Make: Hobart Bike Model: Two-Stroke Bike Reg No.: DS 9542 Bike Frame No.: 77466 Bike Engine No.: 6856 Bike Colour: Black The Coventry based Hobart company built motorcycles between 1901 and 1923 in a variety of configurations, from lightweights through to large V twin engined models, and additionally supplied components to other manufacturers. Of the range the 2 1/12 HP lightweight was initially introduced as a single speeder but in December 1914 a 2 speed gear was announced, initially a ROC unit, but in January 1915 a press release announced the introduction of a Chater Lea 2 speed gearbox of the type fitted to the example offered for sale. Acquired by the vendor in 1995 as a barn find a restoration was embarked upon sadly to be protracted by pressures of work and house moves, as a reult the project remaining ongoing. Offered for sale in a dismantled state a substantial proportion of the `tedious stuff` has however been substantially completed. Work done includes professional frame realignment, fork rebushing, magneto overhaul and renickeling etc. In addition to various printed material relating to Hobart motorcycles generally the history file includes extensive reference photographs of the machine in its as found condition, receipts for works completed, and various notes relating to technical matters to aid completion. A spare engine is also included! Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com
1956 BSA B31 Bike Year: 1956 Bike Make: BSA Bike Model: B31 Bike Reg No.: SOP 328 Bike Frame No.: BB31876 Bike Engine No.: BB3122802 Bike Colour: Maroon The B31 was unusual in its class in having been designed for the post war period rather than being, like many of its rivals an updated pre war design. The first B31 formed part of BSA`s first post war catalogue, announced in August 1945 and appeared to be a thoroughly modern interpretation of the traditional sporting middleweight single with telescopic forks and a four speed gearbox. Finished in black with a silver and chromium plated fuel tank it must have appeared fresh and exciting to riders used to seeing matt khaki painted singles for the last six years. Endowed with good performance, 70 mph being attainable using 73 octane pool petrol it quickly established itself in the market and would sire a range of increasingly glamorous models culminating in the post war Goldies. The over head valve engine featured an iron top end and a separate pushrod tunnel. 1948 saw a change of livery with the silver tank panels giving way to green lined with gold and a new, stronger rigid frame was adopted. The next significant change occurred as the forties drew to a close with the option of a plunger frame being introduced. For 1954 the pivoted fork frame, first seen on the Gold Stars became available to the B31. This example was restored during 2006 and is described by the vendor as "running perfectly". It is accompanied by a quantity of original paperwork relating to the machine from BSA including the original guarantee and a "Running Instruction Card" together with a green continuation log book.

1956 AJS 16M Bike Year: 1956 Bike Make: AJS Bike Model: 16M Bike Reg No.: XKK 882 Bike Frame No.: A43617 Bike Engine No.: 5616M29115 Bike Colour: Black The post war AJS 350 heavyweight single and its Matchless equivalent, could both trace their ancestry back to the war time G3L so beloved of despatch riders which with a change of livery from khaki to black enamel formed the basis for AMC`s immediate post war production. For the 1949 season AMC introduced the option of pivoted fork frame to the home market and for 1951 an alloy cylinder head replaced the iron item previously employed and the (in)famous "Jampots" made their appearance, the next major amendment to effect the appearance of the machine occurred in 1954 when full width alloy hubs replaced the single sided units previously employed. 1956 saw the introduction of the restyled toolbox and oil tank. The combination of the new oil tank, Jampot suspension units and full width alloy hubs, which was only available for the 1956 model season is considered by many to be the most attractive version of AMC`s heavyweight single. This example of a 1956 machine was restored during 2009 and is offered with an old log book and MOT certificates. The vendor informs us that it runs very well.

1956 Douglas Dragonfly Bike Year: 1956 Bike Make: Douglas Bike Model: Dragonfly Bike Reg No.: Un-Reg Bike Frame No.: 1157/6 Bike Engine No.: 1157/6 Bike Colour: Cream Although the Mark series machines had served Douglas well they were replaced in 1955 by a new model, originally to be called the Dart, but by the time of its release known as the Dragonfly. Although the new machine employed an engine that was clearly a development of the existing unit the majority of the mechanical components were revised. The twin carburettors of the Mark series were replaced by a single instrument housed under a cover above the crankcases with the mixture being fed to the cylinder heads by two, long curving inlet manifolds fed from a chamber cast into the clutch housing. The revised power unit was endowed with clean modern lines that complimented a totally new set of cycle parts. The torsion bar rear suspension of the previous models was replaced by a conventional pivoted fork system controlled by a pair of Girling shock absorbers. The frame was of a duplex cradle type with a single top tube and Earles type forks, again controlled by Girling units, were fitted at the front. The most striking feature of the machine was the five gallon fuel tank that extended forwards of the headstock to incorporate the headlamp mounting. Unfortunately Douglas was not in a financially secure position leading to their acquisition by Westinghouse Brake and Signal at the end of 1956 which resulted in motorcycle production ceasing in March 1957. The example offered is presented in the more attractive green and cream livery, black and silver being the other commonly seen livery. It has been the subject of a complete mechanical and cosmetic restoration and is described as running well. Dating from 1956 it displays matching numbers and is offered without documents.

1953 Douglas Mk5 Bike Year: 1953 Bike Make: Douglas Bike Model: Mk5 Bike Reg No.: XNO 270 Bike Frame No.: 119245B Bike Engine No.: 119245 Bike Colour: Blue The Bristol based Douglas concern were able to announce what to all intents looked like a brand new machine to the world in September 1945 when details of the T35 were published in the specialist press. The new engine displaced 348cc and was equipped with over head valves with drive being taken to the rear wheel by chain via a four speed gearbox built in unit with the engine. The assembly was housed in a frame that was technically advanced for the time, featuring a pivoted rear fork controlled by torsion bars and, by the time of production, Douglas`s Radialdraulic fork which used a short leading link controlled by helical springs and hydraulic dampers housed in the fork leg. The new model, although quick for its class, was under developed when it arrived in showrooms during 1946, suffering from excessive side to side shake, a tendency to cut to one cylinder and poor quality control. These faults were addressed by Erling Poppe, Walter Moore and Freddy Dixon. The result was released in 1949 and typed the MK III. For 1950 another variant, the MK III de Luxe, was added to the range. This featured a conventional exhaust system and a revised rear subframe with cast alloy toolboxes. A MK IV variant was produced in limited numbers but the next and last major variant of the "mark" series Douglas to appear was the MK V in 1951, refined version of the MK III de LuxeAs with its predecessor it offered good performance and handling. The beautiful MK V offered dates from the penultimate year of production and is described by the vendor as being a "concours restoration" with matching numbers and paperwork.

1956 BSA B31 Bike Year: 1956 Bike Make: BSA Bike Model: B31 Bike Reg No.: 987 YUB Bike Frame No.: EB311285 Bike Engine No.: BB312276 Bike Colour: Black Few machines epitomise the concept of the traditional post war British single better than the BSA B31. The over head valve single was capable of returning over 100 miles to the gallon if handled with a little restraint or, if handled with a degree of enthusiasm, was capable in the words of "The Motor Cycle" road test carried out in 1956 "of maintaining sufficiently fast average speeds to permit large daily mileages to be covered without boredom. Under average conditions use of half throttle gave an indicated speed of 60 to 65mph in top gear". The comfort afforded by the pivoted fork frame and telescopic forks was found to be very good "even when a period of several hours was spent awheel" and "the dual seat was long enough for two medium size riders". The example offered, dating from the year that the road test quoted from above was carried out, was restored during 2010, at which time all the engine internals were, according to the vendor, renewed. It is described as running "perfectly" and is accompanied by a number of invoices for parts used during the restoration and a Swansea V5C. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com
1955 Triumph 6T Thunderbird Bike Year: 1955 Bike Make: Triumph Bike Model: 6T Thunderbird Bike Reg No.: Un-Reg Bike Frame No.: 66703 Bike Engine No.: 6T66703 Bike Colour: Blue The Thunderbird was a natural progression for the development of the Triumph parallel twin cylinder. Its introduction in 1950 came at a time when the majority of the Meriden marque`s competitors had succeeded in bringing their own 500 twins to the market place and served to place them on the back foot again. The instigation for the Thunderbird`s development is commonly attributed to the demands of the North American market; however, Edward Turner`s deep understanding of the motorcycle market suggests that a 650cc twin was, to a degree, inevitable following the success of the Speed Twin and Tiger 100. The new models cycle parts were essentially the same as those employed by the 500 twins in the range with a rigid frame, a "sprung hub" being offered as an option, headlamp nacelle and tank top luggage grid all being carried over from the 500`s. For 1952 an SU carburettor replaced the Amal unit previously fitted and 1954 saw the introduction of an alternator. For 1955 the pivoted fork frame first seen on the sporting Tiger models of the previous season was introduced, the result being arguably one of the most attractive machines to emanate from Triumph. This example, featuring matching numbers was the subject of a cosmetic and mechanical restoration carried out during 2005. It is offered with a green continuation log book.

1945 Triumph 5T Speed Twin Bike Year: 1945 Bike Make: Triumph Bike Model: 5T Speed Twin Bike Reg No.: 727 UXW Bike Frame No.: TF4339 Bike Engine No.: 465T78666 Bike Colour: Maroon Triumph announced their first post war range of machines in March 1945 with the Speed Twin and Tiger 100 heading the range. Both machines benefitted from the adoption of telescopic front forks but were otherwise much as the machines catalogued for the 1939 season. The Triumph model season resulted in very few 1945 season machines being produced before introduction of 1946 season machines on the line during the autumn of 1945. The 1946 season Speed Twin saw the model reverting to the Amaranth red with chromium plated tank panels instead of the somewhat austere black paintwork of the 1945 season machines. The ancillary instruments and switchgear were housed in the tank top with the speedometer being mounted on the top fork yolk establishing the general pattern for the machine over the next few seasons. The example offered is an early 1946 season machine having been built and registered during 1945 and is one of an extremely limited number of machines built during that year to survive. It was restored during 2005 with a great deal of attention being paid to originality and is offered in beautiful condition with a Swansea V5C and an original parts book.

Greeves Prototype Rolling Chassis Bike Make: Greeves Bike Model: Prototype Rolling Chassis Bike Reg No.: Un-Reg Bike Frame No.: 419D Bike Engine No.: N/A Bike Colour: Blue During 1951 the "Motor Cycle" reported on the existence of a prototype Greeves roadster, failing to make mention of a second machines existence which was built as a scrambler. The most notable feature of the prototype was the suspension medium employed. A pivoted fork system was fitted at the rear, complimented at the front by a set of leading link forks which both employed rubber bushes in torsion to provide the springing. The early frame design was of tubular steel construction, nickel bronze welded throughout. The scrambler was campaigned by Frank Byford in Eastern Centre competitions. His participation led indirectly to the most famous and enduring feature of the Greeves motorcycle when Bert Greeves witnessed a repair being carried out to a Francis Barnett frame at a meeting. The frame downtube had snapped and was replaced by a solid piece of bar. Bert Greeves reasoned that a light alloy casting could replace the downtube offering advantages in strength and ease of production leading to the introduction of the famous I beam. The chassis offered is a prototype that presumably dates from the period between 1951 and 1953 and is offered complete with forks, wheels and mudguards. The engine plates are of steel construction instead of the alloy used on the production machines. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com
1953 Triumph T100 Tiger Bike Year: 1953 Bike Make: Triumph Bike Model: T100 Tiger Bike Reg No.: 795 YUH Bike Frame No.: 32579 Bike Engine No.: T100-32579 Bike Colour: Silver / Black When The Motor Cycle tested a sprung hub equipped Tiger 100 in 1952 they concluded the test in the following manner : "To sum up, the Tiger 100 is a Thoroughbred sporting five hundred calculated to inspire pride of ownership both on account of its magnificent all-round performance and its handsome appearance". Derived from the 5T Speed twin, the T100 was first introduced in August 1938. The new model employed a tuned version of the 5T engine housed in similar cycle parts, although the appearance was greatly enhanced by the silver sheen paintwork with black lining. With the end of the Second World War the T100 returned to production now equipped with telescopic forks and a separate magneto and dynamo in place of the pre war magdyno, the (in)famous sprung hub became available as an option in 1947 and for 1949 the instruments were moved from the tank top panel to the fork top nacelle. 1951 witnessed a change to an all alloy engine. This lovely example of the all alloy, sprung hub equipped variant has formed part of a private collection and is offered in excellent, restored condition. The US spec handlebars fitted make a refreshing change and suit the machine. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com
1961 Matchless G12 CSR Bike Year: 1961 Bike Make: Matchless Bike Model: G12 CSR Bike Reg No.: 934 XUL Bike Frame No.: A81402 Bike Engine No.: 61/G12CSRX7386 Bike Colour: Black AMC introduced their response to the Speed twin in 1949 when they unveiled the Matchless G9 and AJS model 20 twins. The two new machines were notable in that they utilised a pivoted fork frame from the outset and were finished to the usual exceptional AMC standards. By 1956 it was apparent that a larger displacement model was needed to compete against the 650cc twins offered by Triumph and BSA, particularly in the States. The result was the announcement of the G11 and Model 30 twins displacing 593cc. These were joined by a pair of sports models in 1957 coded the CS and CSR, the former being a "scrambler" aimed at the American West Coast and the latter a super sports roadster. As the fifties drew to a close AMC recognised the requirement for a full 650cc to be able to compete on equal terms with their major rivals prompting the introduction of the Model 31 and G12 twins displacing 646cc in 1958. Like their predecessors, the G11/ Model 30, the new models were offered in four versions, the CS and CSR sportsters and the more touring orientated standard and de luxe models, which differed only in the finish and the use of an alternator on the standard machine. The range continued in this form until 1961 when the CS variant was dropped with further rationalisation taking place for the 1962 season when the de luxe version left the catalogue and the CSR adopted the road frame instead of the scrambles chassis. This example of the Matchless G12 CSR variant is offered in good condition with black paintwork and has formed part of a significant private collection in recent years.
