Property of a deceased's estate1950/1947 Norton 350cc International/Manx Special Registration no. not registeredFrame no. E11 29093Engine no. 11093One of the most charismatic model names in motorcycling, 'International' was first used by Norton for its top-of-the-range sports roadster in 1932. All new, the Inter's overhead-camshaft engine had been developed in the works racers over the preceding two years and retained Norton's classic 79x100mm (490c) bore/stroke dimensions. By the time production halted in 1939 the Inter was being built with a four-speed foot-change gearbox and plunger rear suspension, reappearing postwar in similar guise save for the hydraulically-damped Roadholder front fork, which replaced the pre-war girder. The Inter would remain fundamentally unchanged until 1953 when it gained the race-developed Featherbed frame, all-alloy engine and 'laid down' 'box. As confirmed by marque specialist Barry Strickland, this Norton 'special' incorporates a 1950 International Model 30 frame and a 1947 350cc engine, built to Manx specification and clearly constructed for race use. The crankcase is also stamped '71x88' (the bore and stroke for a 350) but is pre-1950. (The stamping of bore and stoke on the engine mainly ceased after 1939 but did sometimes appear post-war.) Other notable features include 1950 Manx wheels (hubs) and Manx tanks. The Manx rear hub/brake plate was only fitted in 1950 and is quite rare. Mainly made up from various parts, this is still a nice example with a lovely patina. The machine is offered without documents and sold strictly as viewed. Its history since acquisition is not known.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Clive Wood MBE Collection1959 Greeves 197cc Scottish TrialsRegistration no. unregisteredFrame no. 59/1083Engine no. 076D 3861Greeves' unorthodox trademarks of a cast beam 'downtube' and rubber-in-torsion leading-link fork proved adaptable to almost all forms of motorcycle from humble commuter to clubman's road-racer, but it was the firm's off-road products that really put it on the map. The off-road range was extensively revised for 1958, gaining new frames with increased ground clearance together with a narrower rear sub-frame and swinging arm. Villiers' 197cc 9E sports engine was used for both the Scottish trials and Hawkstone scrambler, suitably modified to suit the particular application. The name 'Scottish' had been adopted following Jack Simpson's victory in the Scottish Six Days Trial's 200cc category in 1957.This Greeves Scottish is an older restoration offered for recommissioning, or possibly more extensive renovation, and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Although the machine displays the registration '562 RVW', that registration is now assigned to another vehicle, hence it is offered unregistered.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1969 Norton 745cc Atlas Café RacerRegistration no. BIJ 4150Frame no. J122/58594Engine no. 20/113098/PFirst seen in prototype form in 1962, the 745cc Atlas represented the biggest stretch yet applied to Norton's parallel twin. Built for export only initially, the Atlas was fundamentally a larger-engined version of the existing 650SS, using the same Featherbed frame/Roadholder fork cycle parts. The arrival of the similar-capacity Isolastic-framed Commando in 1967 spelled the end for the Atlas, which disappeared from the range towards the end of 1968. Today this muscular road-burner is highly sought after by collectors.The Norton café racer 'special' offered here incorporates an early wideline Featherbed frame from a 1954 Dominator 88 and an Atlas engine dating from 1965. The registration dates from 1969. We are advised the machine was rebuilt in 2015 and the magneto refurbished 2017 with a Brightspark surface condenser; there is also a regulator/rectifier with capacitor, so no battery is required. Other notable features include LED indicators and tail light; a Bob Newby racing clutch and belt drive; Bartel alloy fuel and central oil tanks; Borrani alloy wheel rims with stainless spokes; Avon Roadrider tyres; Commando TLS front brake; rear-set footrests; clip-on handlebars; and short Gold Star silencers. Last run in March 2024, the machine is offered with sundry bills, an old-style logbook and a V5C document.

The Clive Wood MBE Collectionc.1953 James 125cc CadetRegistration no. VFC 907Frame no. J5/008489Engine no. 618A 6512James's first post-war '125' was the ML, a 122cc Villiers 9D-engined machine derived from a successful military design. It was superseded in 1948 by a new model similar to the 98cc Comet but using heavier cycle parts and the 10D engine. For 1950 the 122cc machine was named 'Cadet', and by the time the J5 model offered here was made featured the 13D engine and revised cycle parts incorporating a telescopic front fork and plunger rear suspension.This matching-numbers James Cadet comes with its original buff logbook showing that it was first registered to Kings Motors (Oxford) Ltd and sold new in May 1954 to one Margaret Reading of Abingdon. Acquired by the late owner in 1988, the James is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. It should be noted that the accompanying V5 states that the machine was 'previously registered and/or used prior to date of registration shown above' (1986).Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1928 Harley Davidson 1207cc model JDRegistration no. to be advised (see text)Frame no. 28JD7791Engine no. 28JD7791•Believed to have been supplied new in New Zealand•Imported c.2010•Offered with a NOVA confirmation1909 marked the appearance of Harley-Davidson's first v-twin, though it was not until the adoption of mechanically operated inlet valves in 1911 (replacing the 'atmospheric' type inherited from the single) that production really took off. Known by the sobriquet 'pocket valve', this 'F-head' (inlet-over-exhaust) engine - built in 61ci and 74ci capacities (1,000cc and 1,200cc respectively) - would remain in production for the next 20 years. The Harley single's transmission arrangements - direct drive by means of a leather belt - were continued at first on the twin, but the need to make better use of the engine's power characteristics, particularly for sidecar pulling, prompted the introduction of a two-speed rear hub for 1914, by which time chain drive and a proper clutch had been adopted. Later that same year a conventional, three-speed, sliding-gear transmission with 'step starter' was introduced on the top-of-the-range version of the twin which, with full electrical equipment, was listed from now on as the Model JD. Periodically revised and up-dated, the Model J had gained a front brake, stronger fork and pumped lubrication by the time production ceased in 1929. We are told that this lovely model JD was supplied new in New Zealand to Roy Tomlin. In 1984 he sold it to the vendor's uncle. In 2010 it was sold to the vendor who imported it to the UK. Recommissioning was put on hold due to the demands of building of a light aeroplane, but was recommenced in 2023. Work has included fitting a new battery, condenser, and a new exhaust system supplied by Geloman, the renowned H-D specialist in Germany. The old rusted out (believed not original) exhaust is supplied. A video of the machine running in February of this year is available on request. It has not been ridden for many years, and further adjustments may possibly be required.Until now the bike has not been registered in the UK, but a new V5C should be in place by the time of the sale. An old New Zealand registration document, other NZ paperwork, a dating certificate from the Antique Motorcycle Club of America (Europe), reproduction handbooks, and sundry spares including new reproduction footboard rubbers are supplied. The vendor advises us that the machine is fitted with sidecar gearing but he believes that a sidecar has never been fitted. He has also pointed out that the linkage for the parking brake is missing but that it isn't necessary for solo use. Separate keys are supplied for the ignition, lights, and toolbox. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding.

The Clive Wood MBE Collection1941 Matchless 347cc G3L Military MotorcycleRegistration no. 427 HPYFrame no. 24222Engine no. 41 / G3L 70089 (see text)The outbreak of war in September 1939 found the British Army ill prepared for hostilities, not the least with regard to its transportation arrangements. The result was the wholesale commandeering of civilian motorcycles for despatch, reconnaissance, convoy patrol and other duties. Almost every major British manufacturer supplied machines to the Army, although these were invariably adapted pre-war roadsters rather than purpose-built military designs. Among the most popular was the Matchless G3, a relatively lightweight and sporty 350cc model that had first been assessed for possible military use in 1933. Updated with a single down-tube frame and telescopic front fork, the 'Matchbox' continued as the G3L from 1941. By the time hostilities ceased in 1945, more than 63,000 G3Ls had been delivered, and post-war the model would go on to establish itself as one of the finest trials bikes of the day.This G3L was supplied to the War Department on a contract dated February 1941 and subsequently fitted with an engine supplied under another contract, a not uncommon occurrence with WD machines (see email printout on file). Acquired by the late owner in 1987 and last taxed to 31st July 1991, the Matchless is an older restoration offered for recommissioning (the engine turns over). The machine comes with an expired MoT (1991) and an old-style V5. Detached panniers are included in the sale.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estatec.1967 BSA 343cc B40 Military MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. B40 GB221Engine no. B40 GB221Introduced in September 1958, the unitary construction C15 replaced the outgoing C12 and would provide the basis for an entire range of singles in capacities up to 500cc. The first new C15-based model to feature an enlarged engine was the 343cc B40, an addition to the line-up for 1961. Many B40s would see service with the British Armed Forces, which ordered 2,000 following an extended reliability test. A number of modifications were made to the military-specification B40, including a lower compression ratio of 5.0:1; Zenith 'butterfly' carburettor; cut-down, moto-cross oil tank; external, cartridge-type oil filter; fork gaiters; and a fully-enclosed rear drive chain. Although the 'civilian' B40 disappeared from the range at the end of 1967, military production continued for another couple of years, the last machines being delivered in 1970. The B40 would remain in military service well into the 1970s.The military B40 retains its original MoD identity plate and has the batch number '68ET29' chalked on the fuel tank. Its history since acquisition is not known and the machine is offered without documents.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estatec.1951 Vincent 998cc Series-C RapideRegistration no. XVV 234Frame no. RC9637/C Rear frame no. RC/1/7257Engine no. F10AB/1/7638 Crankcase mating no. UU63 / UU63•Assembled from parts•Present ownership since 2020•Dry stored since acquisition•Requires recommissioningWhen Vincent resumed production at the war's end it was with the all-new Series-B. Its rear suspension aside, the Series-A Vincent-HRD had been conventional enough: tubular steel frame, girder forks, separate gearbox, etc but with the Series-B Messrs Vincent and Irving effectively established the marque's reputation for the defiance of convention in the pursuit of engineering excellence. For a start there was no 'frame' as such, merely a fabricated box attached to the cylinder heads that served as the oil tank and incorporated the headstock and attachment point for the rear springs. The gearbox was integral with the engine, and the swinging arm pivoted directly in the engine/gearbox casings, features commonplace today but unusual 60 years ago. Only in his retention of the pre-war Brampton girder fork did Phillip Vincent appear to be lagging behind other manufacturers, almost all of which had switched to telescopics. Introduced in 1946, the Vincent-HRD Series-B Rapide was immediately the fastest production motorcycle on sale.In 1948 the Vincent range began to be up-dated to Series-C specification. The most significant changes made concerned the suspension, there being a revised arrangement at the rear incorporating curved lugs for the seat stays and hydraulic damper between the spring boxes, while at the front the new models boasted Vincent's own 'Girdraulic' fork: a blade-type girder fitted with twin hydraulic dampers. These advances began to find their way onto production models during 1948 but it would be 1950 before all Vincents left the factory in Series-C specification.The Rapide offered here has been assembled from parts: the upper frame 'RC9637/C' is from a Series-C Rapide despatched to the Copes dealership in Dudley in October 1951; the rear frame is from a Series-C Comet despatched to a dealer called Bannister in Chatham in November 1950; and the engine 'F10AB/1/7638' is from a Series-C Rapide despatched to a dealer called Blacknell's in Nottingham in September 1951. 'XVV 234' is an age-related registration number.The late owner acquired the Vincent in 2020, since when it has been kept dry stored. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying documents include a current V5C; DVLA SORN correspondence; 2017 VOC letter relating to age-related registration; 2017 VOC dating certificates (x2); and 2016 email correspondence from previous owner John Renwick to the VOC Machine Registrar.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Coded Model 18 and G80 respectively, the two 500cc models shared the same 93mm stroke as their 350cc brethren, coupled to an 82.5mm bore. Housed in a rigid frame with Teledraulic front fork, the rugged overhead-valve engine drove via a four-speed gearbox. Hairpin valve springs were adopted for 1949 and a swinging-arm frame introduced, the latter initially for export only but available in the UK from 1950, models so-equipped being suffixed 'S'. This AJS Model 18 is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. Although the machine displays the registration 'JYW 775', that number is not recorded in the DVLA/HPI database; therefore this motorcycle is offered unregistered and without documents.

c.1976 Yamaha TZ350D ProjectFrame no. 383-993305Engine no. R5-993305Following its successful adoption on the works twins, water cooling first appeared on Yamaha's over-the-counter racers with the introduction of the TZ range in 1973. Apart from the water cooling, which made it more reliable, the engine was little changed from that of the preceding air-cooled TD/TR. The customer TZs changed little until the arrival for 1976 of the TZ250/350C, which was equipped with Yamaha's mono-shock rear suspension that had been developed in the works moto-crossers. With the new rear suspension came a longer-travel front fork complete with single disc brake, while changes to the TZ250C's porting and exhaust opened the door to further advances. Yamaha made few changes to the succeeding 'D' and 'E' models.Comprising of a frame (numbered 383-993305); engine (numbered R5-993305); forks; wheels; fairing; shocks; tools; carburettors and other sundry spares. We're advised by the vendor that he purchased this machine in 2006 where it was reputedly raced by Bengt Elgh of Scandinavian fame. Purchased complete, the vendor stripped it down for restoration but never got round to finishing it, however he was able to have the forks and bottom half of the engine refurbished whilst the frame and swinging arm were refinished.

c.1955 AJS 350cc 7R Racing MotorcycleFrame no. 208 (overpainted)Engine no. noneBuilt from 1948 to 1963, Associated Motor Cycles' AJS 7R - known as the 'Boy Racer' - was one of the most successful over-the-counter racing motorcycles of all time. Almost all of Britain's road-race stars of the 1950s and '60s rode a 7R at some stage of their careers, and the model remains a major force in classic racing today. The 7R was conceived as a customer machine for sale to private owners, but was also campaigned by the factory. Although a new design by Phil Walker, the 7R with its chain-driven overhead-camshaft was very reminiscent of the AJS 'cammy' singles of pre-war days. While - initially - not as powerful as the Velocette KTT and Junior Manx Norton, the 7R's robust and simple construction endeared it to the privateer responsible for his own maintenance. While the duplex loop frame and Teledraulic front fork remained essentially unchanged throughout production, the engine underwent almost continuous revision, eventually producing 41bhp in 'short-stroke' configuration. AMC's own gearbox replaced the previous Burman in 1958.The AJS 7R offered here was purchased by the late owner from a UK auction in October 2015. The machine had belonged to the seller since 2009 and was described as a 'very original race bike' (although it should be noted the engine cases are aluminium and not magnesium). It was also said to have undergone a full restoration during 2014. Having been stored in controlled conditions and unused since purchase the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1960 Norton 500cc Model 30 Manx Racing MotorcycleFrame no. R10M 86401Engine no. none•Engine built by Ray Petty•Entered by Bee-Bee Racing and ridden by Alistair Frame and Malcolm Lucas•Present ownership since 2008'With a history stretching back almost to the very dawn of motorcycling itself, the Norton single is without doubt the greatest of all the over-the-counter production racers.' - Mick Walker, Manx Norton.Dubbed 'Manx Grand Prix' in 1939, what would become the best-known racing motorcycle of all time had become simply 'Manx' when production resumed in 1946. Norton's over-the-counter Manx racers were much the same as their pre-war counterparts, with single-overhead-camshaft engine, 'square' cylinder head finning, upright gearbox and plunger-suspended 'garden gate' frames. Only the presence of the Roadholder telescopic front fork readily distinguished them from the '39 machines. 1949 brought the first significant change in engine specification, the Manx gaining a double-overhead-camshaft 'head like that enjoyed by the works bikes for many years, but the major development was the arrival of the Featherbed frame for 1951. The works' adoption of the McCandless-designed duplex-loop swinging-arm chassis the previous year had given the Nortons a new lease of life in Grand Prix racing, and Geoff Duke duly took both the 350 and 500cc world titles in 1951. The cycle parts remained essentially unchanged from then on apart from the adoption of a double-sided, twin-leading-shoe front brake for 1962. Manx engine development, though, continued steadily, latterly under Doug Hele's direction, until production ceased at the end of '62, among the most significant design changes being the adoption of 'square' bore and stroke dimensions for 1954 and coarser-pitch bevel teeth in 1957. Loved and admired by all that have ridden one, the Manx Norton in its many forms is a mainstay of today's classic racing scene.The example offered here features a 1960 frame and a 1957 engine. Incorporating new original crankcases, the latter reputedly is the last engine built by famed Norton tuner Ray Petty in 1985. The Manx was owned formerly by Mike Hoskisson of Bee-Bee Racing, and was raced by Alistair Frame and Malcolm Lucas in the Manx Grand Prix (the crankcase halves are stamped 'B' and 'B'.) The late owner purchased the Norton at a UK auction in October 2008, since when it has formed part of his extensive private collection. Having been stored in controlled conditions and unused since purchase the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

While - initially - not as powerful as the Velocette KTT and Junior Manx Norton, the 7R's robust and simple construction endeared it to the privateer responsible for his own maintenance. While the duplex loop frame and Teledraulic front fork remained essentially unchanged throughout production, the engine underwent almost continuous revision, eventually producing 41bhp in 'short-stroke' configuration. AMC's own gearbox replaced the previous Burman in 1958. The AJS 7R offered here is an older restoration presented in age-related condition. It should be noted that the third digit of the frame number is illegible (believed to be a '7', but possibly a '4'). Sold strictly as viewed, the machine is offered without documents, its history unknown.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate1953 Norton 500cc Model 30 DOHC Manx Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. H11M2 48831 (see text)Engine no. H11M2 48831Dubbed 'Manx Grand Prix' in 1939, what would become the best-known racing motorcycle of all time had become simply 'Manx' when production resumed in 1946. Norton's over-the-counter Manx racers were much the same as their pre-war counterparts, with single-overhead-camshaft engine, 'square' cylinder head finning, upright gearbox and plunger-suspended 'garden gate' frames. Only the presence of the Roadholder telescopic front fork readily distinguished them from the '39 machines. 1949 brought the first significant change in engine specification, the Manx gaining a double-overhead-camshaft 'head like that enjoyed by the works bikes for many years, but the major development was the arrival of the Featherbed frame for 1951. The works' adoption of the McCandless-designed duplex-loop swinging-arm chassis the previous year had given the Nortons a new lease of life in Grand Prix racing, and Geoff Duke duly took both the 350 and 500cc world titles in 1951. The cycle parts remained essentially unchanged from then on apart from the adoption of a double-sided, twin-leading-shoe front brake for 1962. Manx engine development, though, continued steadily, latterly under Doug Hele's direction, until production ceased at the end of '62, among the most significant design changes being the adoption of 'square' bore and stroke dimensions for 1954 and coarser-pitch bevel teeth in 1957. Loved and admired by all that have ridden one, the Manx Norton in its many forms is a mainstay of today's classic racing scene.Norton factory records confirm that this machine was despatched to 'Vidal, Spain'. The late owner purchased the Manx from Brooks' sale of the Autokraft Collection in March 1999 (Lot 33, see catalogue extract). Marque specialist Barry Strickland advises that it is rare to see a long-stroke Featherbed Manx in such original condition: all matching, mostly all correct, and very nice. The machine has been fitted with the later Manx flat handlebars (the originals would have been of the 'swan neck' type, while the fly-screen and racing numberplate are missing. Its history since acquisition is not known. It should be noted that the frame number is only partially visible, the frame gusset having been drilled. Recommissioning will be required before the Manx returns to the racetrack.

The Clive Wood MBE Collection1951 Norton 490cc 500TRegistration no. unregisteredFrame no. F3T 40263Engine no. 40263 F3TA season of extensive modification and experimentation, begun during the winter of 1947/48 by the legendary McCandless brothers, designers of Norton's peerless 'Featherbed' racing frame, resulted in the first appearance late in 1948 of an entirely new trials model: the 500T. The shorter and lighter WD 16H frame was used for the newcomer, which featured an ingeniously modified lower fork yoke that reduced the wheelbase to a more manageable 53'. In its original, 'all-iron' engined form the 500T tipped the scales at 320lbs, while the subsequent adoption of an alloy cylinder head and (later) a Wellworthy alloy barrel brought that down to 300lbs. The 500T was announced as a 1949 model at the 1948 Motor Cycle Show, by which time a young Geoff Duke had already won that year's Allan Jefferies Trial riding a 350cc-engined prototype. Numerous other works and privateer competition successes throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s confirmed that Norton had produced a machine as good as, if not better than, any other rigid-framed trials iron.This Norton 500T previously belonged to a Mr John Fuller of North Yorkshire, as evidenced by invoices on file, and has belonged to the late owner since at least 1990 (see NOC dating letter). An older restoration, the Norton is offered for recommissioning and sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over).

1966 Royal Enfield Continental GTRegistration no. YTF 23DFrame no. 72428Engine no. GT16082A development of the popular Crusader, the Continental was introduced for 1963. The newcomer used the Super 5's tuned, 20bhp engine and five-speed gearbox but eschewed the latter's leading-link fork in favour of conventional telescopics while adding a rev counter, fly screen, dropped handlebars and (on some bikes) an Italian-style 'jelly mould' tank to the package. Pioneered on the Continental, the policy of including as standard all the performance-orientated 'extras' that customers might want to fit later was an enormous success, and this concept was extended further by the Crusader's ultimate development - the Continental GT - which arrived in November 1964. For his/her £270 the GT owner got clip-on 'bars, rear-set footrests, a racing-style glassfibre tank, and 'bacon slicer' brake cooling discs up front, in addition to an extra 1.5bhp. With its café racer styling, brisk performance and excellent handling, the GT was every young motorcyclist's dream and a well-deserved success for the Redditch concern.This Continental GT has had three previous keepers since 1978 (according to the HPI check sheet) and has belonged to the current vendor since 2021. An older restoration, the machine has 11,392 miles recorded on the odometer and displays tax disc that expired on 31st March 2013.

DD 1031Many a now-mature motorcyclist's first two-wheeled experience will have been gained aboard a BSA Bantam. Developed 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 engine grew first to 148cc - on the D3 Bantam Major, introduced for 1954 - and then, finally, to 172cc; optional plunger rear suspension became available in 1950 together with battery electrics, direct lighting having been used hitherto, while the next major changes to the cycle parts saw introduction of swinging-arm rear suspension and a sturdier telescopic front fork on the Bantam Major in 1956. While larger-engined versions came and went, the original 123cc D1 Bantam in its updated, plunger-suspended form remained available until 1963, one of its foremost users being the GPO's Royal Mail division, whose red-liveried machines (used for telegram deliveries) were a familiar sight on city streets. The Bantam remains a firm favourite to this day.This plunger-suspended Bantam D1 is offered for recommissioning (the engine turns over).

GTOY/G 19014 (see text)•Current ownership of over 50 years•Wonderful Vintage 680 project•Matching frame, engine and petrol tankWith the SS80 and SS100 well established by the mid-1920s, it was decided to add a smaller and cheaper alternative to these two 1-litre models to the Brough Superior range. JAP was already producing a 674cc sidevalve v-twin engine and this unit, redesigned to accommodate overhead valves, went into Brough's new 'Overhead 680'. First shown to the public at the Olympia Motorcycle Show in 1926, the 'Miniature SS100', as George Brough called it, entered production for 1927 and was an instant success.Already dismantled when acquired by the late owner almost 50 years ago, this Overhead 680 project consists of a frame; Castle fork components; fuel tank (numbered '1962', correct for frame '792'); four-stud Sturmey Archer gearbox casing (numbered 'HW36172' and correct for 1928 but not original to this machine); outer case numbered '118130' (no connection to this machine); mudguards; and boxed sundry spares.The Brough is offered with a 1946 continuation logbook for the registration 'RL 8515', which may assist the successful purchaser in applying to retrieve and re-register the motorcycle with its lapsed registration. It should be noted that the engine suffix 'G' appears to be a JAP factory error ('C' being the suffix for 1928 and 'G' for 1938); however, the serial number appears to be a JAP stamping correct for the period (the BSOC concurs). Brough Superior Club records confirm matching frame, engine and tank numbers (copy documents on file).Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 11am GMT.'Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ◊◊◊◊◊◊ Requires specialist shipping and storage at the buyer's expenseFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Shared by the AJS Model 14 and Matchless G2, the four-stroke, overhead-valve power unit incorporated its oil tank within the crankcase (following Royal Enfield practice) and appeared to be of unitary construction, although a separate gearbox was retained. The cycle parts comprised an open, tubular steel frame, closed at the bottom by a pressed-steel channel, which was complemented by a telescopic front fork and swinging-arm rear suspension. A 350cc AJS Model 8/Matchless G5 version arrived for 1960 as an alternative to AMC's traditional 'heavyweight' 350s and remained in production until the end of 1962. Super sports 'CSR' roadsters arrived that year and continued in production after the basic G2/14 was dropped in July 1963, finally disappearing from the range in 1966. Acquired by the late owner in October 1997 and last taxed in 1998, this AJS Model 8 is an older restoration which is offered for recommissioning or further restoration (the engine turns over).

Property of a deceased's estate1922 New Imperial 347ccRegistration no. BF 6069Frame no. D1065S (see text)Engine no. 1C/E 9396/PBuilder of the last British-made machine to win the Lightweight 250 TT in the pre-war era (in 1936), New Imperial was unsurpassed for innovation during the 1930s, with models featuring pivoted fork rear suspension and unitary construction of engine and gearbox. The marque was established in 1900 when Norman Downs acquired a cycle company in Birmingham, which he reorganised as New Imperial Cycles. The firm's first motorcycles, designed along Werner lines, were shown at the 1901 Stanley Show in London but were not well received. Not until 1910 did Downs try again, launching a conventional JAP-powered model - the Light Tourist - that would prove an outstanding success. In racing, New Imperial concentrated on the 250 class, winning the Isle of Man TT trophy for 250cc machines in 1921 and their first Lightweight TT in 1924, a feat repeated the following year. On the commercial front, the late 1920s saw production facilities expand and proprietary engines abandoned in favour of New Imperial's own power units.An older restoration that still presents nicely, this sidevalve JAP-engined New Imperial '350' is offered for recommissioning (the engine turns over). Notable features include acetylene lighting and a Smiths 60mph speedometer. The machine comes with a V5C registration document that records the frame number as 'D1065' (omitting the 'S' suffix).Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1961 Norton 350cc Navigator DeluxeRegistration no. LSV 413Frame no. 96464/19Engine no. 96464/19The Navigator was the first derivative of the all-new Jubilee 250 twin that had been introduced in 1958. Designer Bert Hopwood's original conception had called for integral cylinder barrels and 'heads, but convention won the day and separate components were used in production. Built in unit with the four-speed gearbox, this modern-looking engine was installed in a Francis-Barnett derived frame with fabricated 'down-tube'. Towards the end of 1960 the 350cc Navigator was announced. The motor was bored and stroked and the cylinder block became a one-piece casting. Otherwise changes were few, although the cycle parts were up-rated with the Roadholder front fork and 8' diameter brake. The Deluxe version came with then fashionable rear enclosure. Motor Cycling managed to get 89mph out of 'their' Navigator Deluxe, which even when subjected to journalistic abuse returned a respectable 56mpg. Production of the Navigator Deluxe ended in 1963, while the standard model lived on for a couple more years. This unrestored Navigator Deluxe is finished in two-tone black/grey. Notable features include 12-volt electrics, a Commando MkIII oil pump modification, and a set of panniers. Accompanying paperwork consists of an old-style buff logbook and a V5C Registration Certificate.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate1953 Sunbeam 487cc S8 Registration no. HTP 891Frame no. S8-6802Engine no. S8-340A wartime design by Erling Poppe, the Sunbeam inline twin was introduced by BSA, owners of Sunbeam Cycles Limited, in 1947. A luxury tourer inspired by the pre-war BMW, it was of advanced specification with overhead-camshaft engine, shaft drive and plunger rear suspension. 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. Finished in an unusual colour for the model (perhaps RAF Blue?), this S8 is an older restoration offered for recommissioning (the engine turns over). It should be noted that the incorrect saddle is loose and that there is an unusual 12v generator to the front. The machine is offered with a V5C document, an original instruction manual.Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

DV1476 Engine no. V1017 •One of only 79 built •All owners post-1955 identified •Once owned by former VMCC President John Griffith •Present ownership since 2002 •Meticulously restored with no expense spared between 2004 and 2017 •Comprehensive history file Of all the many makes and models of motorcycle produced during the 1930s, there are two outstanding v-twin-engined thoroughbreds that feature at the top of every knowledgeable enthusiast's 'fantasy barn find' league table: the Brough Superior SS100 and Vincent-HRD Series-A Rapide. These days the chances of finding an example of either hidden behind a pile of straw bales are slim indeed, all the more so in the case of the ultra-rare Series-A Rapide, a mere 78 of which were produced between late 1936 and the summer of 1939. (Expert opinion differs on this point, but most authorities favour a total in the high 70s). By way of comparison, production of the rival SS100 ran into the hundreds. The 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). Vincent moved production from Wolverhampton to Stevenage, pioneering his own design of sprung frame on an entirely new range of machines. Like Davies, Vincent relied on proprietary engines but increasing dissatisfaction with suppliers led to the creation of Vincent's own engine in 1934. A 500cc high-camshaft overhead-valve single, this all-new power unit was designed jointly by PCV and his Chief Engineer Phil Irving who, so legend has it, came up with the idea of a 1,000cc v-twin after seeing two drawings of the single superimposed on one another. By producing a v-twin in this fashion, many of the existing single-cylinder components could be utilised, thus reducing costs, an important factor for the fledgling concern. Despite its plethora of external oil pipes - an arrangement that gave rise to the famous 'Plumber's Nightmare' sobriquet - the Series-A v-twin is undeniably handsome, its high-set camshafts and relatively short cylinders endowing this magnificent motorcycle with a muscular, broad-shouldered look. On test, the prototype engine proved to be as powerful as its looks suggested, delivering a maximum of 45bhp at 5,500rpm on a relatively low 6.8:1 compression ratio. It was installed in a new version of Vincent's sprung frame equipped with Burman four-speed gearbox, girder front fork and powerful twin front brakes, the complete machine tipping the scales at an admirable 430lbs. On the road the Series-A Rapide fulfilled all of its maker's expectations, proving capable of reaching 110mph, comfortably faster than the rival JAP-powered SS100. The prototype Series-A Rapide was proudly displayed on Vincent's stand at the 1936 Motor Cycle Show at Olympia but only a handful were sold in 1937, the first full year of production, as the motorcycling public remained sceptical of the upstart firm's performance claims. This scepticism was soon dispelled by the exploits of the works Series-A racers piloted by Manliffe Barrington and 'Ginger' Wood, the latter shattering the Donington Park lap record in 1938 and returning a staggering standing quarter-mile time of 11.75 seconds at the Gatwick sprint. The outbreak of WW2 in 1939 brought production of all Series-A models to a halt, and when Vincent resumed production in 1946, it was with the all-new Series-B. By July '39 when the last Series-A twin was built, the model had been in production for a little over 30 months, and the fact that so few were made has in no small part contributed to this legendary model's mythic status. It is estimated that around 60-65 Series-A Vincent twins survive worldwide today, and for one to be offered for sale is an event of exceptional importance. The current vendor purchased this Series-A Rapide in Japan in 2002. The Vincent had been purchased from a UK auction in October 1990 by dealer George Pollard on behalf of a known Japanese collector. Our vendor ran the frame and crankcase numbers past the VOC's then Registrar Gordon Powell and he confirmed that they matched. As purchased, the machine was a 'basket case' consisting of the complete frame assembled with the rear wheel, and numerous boxes of bits, many of which were incorrect. The flywheels had recently been sent to the UK for reconditioning by a specialist, and Carrillo con-rods and a pair of new pistons were included. In 2004 all the parts were crated up and sent to the UK. This Series-A Rapide, with engine number 'V1017' and frame number 'DV1476' was dispatched from the works in February 1938 and sent to dealers Adams & Gibbon in Newcastle-upon-Tyne by rail. Three Series-A Rapides (out of a total production of 79) were dispatched to Newcastle-upon-Tyne: one to a private purchaser and two to Adams & Gibbon. The registration 'FTN 938' was issued in Newcastle upon Tyne on 1st March 1938. The Works Order Form (copy on file) lists the specification and records that the machine was built and signed off by Ted Hampshire and test ridden by Mr Vincent among others. Also on file is a photocopy of an old-style green logbook listing six owners from 1955, the fourth being John Panter Griffith of Harrow, the former VMCC President and founder of the Stanford Hall Collection. The fifth was a Mr David Arthur Oliver of Middlesex. The last owner listed is Herbert Ronald McRae of Ruislip, who acquired the Vincent in 1961. The machine appeared in the 1962 and 1968 VOC yearbooks with the owner recorded as Mr McRae. It would seem that 'V1017' was one of two Series-A Rapides (the other being 'V1046') in Mr McRae's collection of eight pre-war Vincents. An old-style V5 registration document on file records Bernard Vincent Draper of Devon as the owner in 1990. Mr Draper roughly assembled the bike and re-registered it as 'BSK 184' ready for sale at the aforementioned auction; it was then exported to Japan using this document. With the assistance of the VOC, the vendor was able to retrieve the original registration number, 'FTN 938', which was reinstated in December 2017. It would appear that many of the Vincents in the McRae collection were disassembled and that, prior to dispersal, bikes were built up using available parts, many of which did not belong together, as was the case with 'V1017'. Swapping the post-war Brampton forks for the correct pre-war type, the vendor had the latter retubed by Ray Daniels of Birmingham.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estateBSA 343cc B40 Military Motorcycle ProjectRegistration no. unregisteredFrame no. None VisibleEngine no. B40GB JH6511Introduced in September 1958, the unitary construction C15 replaced the outgoing C12 and would provide the basis for an entire range of singles in capacities up to 500cc. The first new C15-based model to feature an enlarged engine was the 343cc B40, an addition to the line-up for 1961. Many B40s would see service with the British Armed Forces, which ordered 2,000 following an extended reliability test. A number of modifications were made to the military-specification B40, including a lower compression ratio of 5.0:1; Zenith 'butterfly' carburettor; cut-down, moto-cross oil tank; external, cartridge-type oil filter; fork gaiters; and a fully-enclosed rear drive chain. Although the 'civilian' B40 disappeared from the range at the end of 1967, military production continued for another couple of years, the last machines being delivered in 1970. The B40 would remain in military service well into the 1970s.Partially repainted in Army Green, this dismantled B40 project consists of a frame, swinging-arm, shock absorbers, tool boxes, rear mudguard, pannier cradles, engine (mounted to stand), exhaust, fork shrouds, top yoke, wheels and sundry other components.

The Clive Wood MBE Collection1953 Ariel 998cc Square Four MKIIRegistration no. GVH 353Frame no. ES614Engine no. XJ602Designed by Edward Turner, creator of Triumph's legendary Speed Twin, the first Ariel Square Four appeared at the Olympia Motorcycle Show in 1930. Conceived as an overhead-camshaft 500, the model grew to 601cc before a total redesign saw it emerge as the Model 4G, with 995cc overhead-valve engine, in 1937. Anstey-link plunger rear suspension became an option in 1939 but would not be offered again until 1946, when a telescopic front fork replaced the previous girder type. An exercise in weight-shedding saw the cast-iron cylinder head and barrel replaced by alloy components for 1949, the revised model, now capable of 90mph-plus, being known as the Mark I. Introduced in 1953, the 'four pipe' MkII elevated the Square Four into the league of genuine 100mph motorcycles. Square Four production, along with that of all other Ariel four-strokes, ceased in 1959. To date, the innovative Ariel Square Four remains unique in motorcycling history; a true 'gentleman's motorcycle', this refined yet characterful machine retains an enthusiastic following and is highly prized by discerning enthusiasts.Last taxed in 1985, this Square Four is an older restoration offered for recommissioning or more extensive renovation (the engine turns over). The machine comes with some marque related literature; an original Owner's Guide; Draganfly Motorcycles spares catalogue; an old V5; and an old-style logbook (issued 1959) showing that it was attached to sidecar at that time.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate1951 Triumph 498cc 5T Speed Twin ProjectRegistration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. inaccessibleEngine no. 5T 4367 NAAlthough Edward Turner's Triumph Speed Twin caused a sensation when it appeared at the 1937 Motorcycle Show, few of its admirers can have guessed how influential the design would prove to be. And whereas previous vertical twins had suffered from excess bulk, Turner's was lighter and narrower across the crankcase than the contemporary single-cylinder Tiger 90, and from certain angles looked just like a twin-port single. Performance proved exemplary for a road-going 500, better than 100mph being attainable under favourable conditions. Boasting Triumph's newly introduced telescopic front fork and the Turner-designed sprung hub, this early post-war Speed Twin is missing its saddle and rear mudguard. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the Triumph comes with a 1951 logbook for the registration 'AEC 372' (not recorded in the DVLA/HPI database), which may assist the successful purchaser in retrieving the number and re-registering the machine.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1951 BSA 350cc Gold Star ReplicaRegistration no. 129 XULFrame no. ZB32.S.3201 (restamped)Engine no. .ZB32.GS.3201. (restamped)Possibly the most successful production racing motorcycle ever, the Gold Star formed the mainstay of Clubman's racing in the 1950s. In fact, it was its domination of the Isle of Man Clubman's TT which led to the event being dropped after Gold Star rider Bernard Codd's 1956 Senior/Junior double victory. Post-WW2, the Gold Star did not return to the BSA range until 1949. First displayed at the Earls Court Show in 1948, the 350cc ZB32 Goldie boasted the telescopic front fork first introduced on BSAs larger models for 1946 and came equipped with a new alloy cylinder barrel and 'head. For 1950 a 500cc version – the ZB34 – 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. This BSA Gold Star Replica appeared in the 2013 TV drama series The Bletchley Circle (Series II) and Call the Midwife (Series 2). The call sheet for the former and photographs of the latter are on file. John Marchant acquired the BSA in December 2008. The purchase receipt is on file together and the machine also comes with some expired MoTs; a quantity of photocopied literature; numerous bills; instruction manual; BSA service sheets; and old/current V5C documents. A set of original crankcases (numbered ZB32.GS.3201) is included in the sale. This machine has been stored in dry conditions and has seen little or no use since 2016. Accordingly, it is sold strictly as viewed and may require varying degrees of recommissioning and/or restoration prior to further use.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1952 MV Agusta 123.5cc Monoalbero Racing MotorcycleFrame no. none visibleEngine no. none visible•Believed restored by Giancarlo Morbidelli•Formerly resident in Germany•Present ownership since 2015Although best known for their four-cylinder four-strokes, multiple World Championship-winning MV-Agusta built lightweights throughout its manufacturing career, and in its early days listed small two-strokes and even a scooter. The racing 125cc two-strokes were a major success, winning the arduous Milan-Taranto road race in 1950, '51 and '52, but at World Championship level the MVs were outclassed by the four-stroke FB-Mondial with its twin-overhead-cam engine. Count Agusta's response was to hire Gilera's chief designer Piero Remor together with its chief mechanic, Arturo Magni. However, the new Remor-designed 125cc four-stroke was not an immediate success, and it was only following Mondial's withdrawal from racing that MV bagged its first 125cc World Championship, Cecil Sandford taking the riders' title in 1952. The following year MV offered an over-the-counter racer for privateers, which was developed directly from the works bikes. Italian regulations for the domestic 'Formula Sport' stipulated that machines should have only a single camshaft and four gears, and so the monoalbero (single-camshaft) 125 racer was born. Like its bialbero (twin-cam) progenitor, the SOHC 125 employed a train of gears to drive its upstairs cam. Bore and stroke were 53x56mm and the motor breathed via a 27mm Dell'Orto racing carburettor, eventually producing a maximum of 16bhp at 10,300rpm. The cycle parts were virtually an exact copy of the '52 works bikes', featuring a tubular duplex loop frame, telescopic front fork with central hydraulic damper, and swinging-arm rear suspension. Brakes were full-width aluminium-alloy: 7' diameter at the front, 6' at the rear. Dry weight was 165lbs and the top speed over 90mph. Because Italy's long-distance road races, such as the Moto Giro d'Italia and Milan-Taranto required that machines be street legal and possess lights, a flywheel generator formed part of the specification. The MV Agusta monoalbero 125 racer proved an enormous success, remaining in production until 1956 and continuing to offer privateers a competitive ride in the 125cc class for many years thereafter. The late owner purchased this delightful little MV at a UK auction in October 2015, at which time it was described as 'restored by Giancarlo Morbidelli' and in 'excellent condition'. There is a Technische Abnahme TüV Hessen sticker to the number roundel, suggesting the MV was previously resident in Germany. Since acquisition the machine has formed part of the late owner's extensive private collection and, having been stored in controlled conditions and unused, will require recommissioning and safety checks prior to further use.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1955 BSA 500cc Goldstar DB34Registration no. 862 YUEFrame no. CB32 2529Engine no. DB34 GS 204 (see text)The Gold Star did not return to BSA's post-WW2 range until 1949. Introduced at the Earls Court Show in 1948, the B32 Goldie boasted the telescopic fork first introduced for 1946 and came 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 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 'DB' series' arrival 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 represented the 'Junior' Goldie in its final form.Imported from the USA approximately 10 years ago, this Goldie has been fully restored but is not matching numbers. (It is believed a replacement engine was shipped to the USA three months after the bike.) The machine incorporates some Phil Pearson upgrades including the (rebuilt) crankshaft, Bob Newby clutch, and new Mikuni carburettor. The speedometer has been rebuilt also (all invoices available). Last run in March 2024, the machine is offered with a V5C.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1956 Norton 490cc Model 30 InternationalRegistration no. 996 GMHFrame no. L11 64826Engine no. 64826 11LOne of the most charismatic model names in motorcycling, 'International' was first used by Norton for its top-of-the-range sports roadster in 1932. All new, the Inter's overhead-camshaft engine had been developed in the works racers over the preceding two years and retained Norton's classic 79x100mm bore/stroke dimensions. By the time production halted in 1939 the Inter was being built with a four-speed foot-change gearbox and plunger rear suspension, reappearing postwar in similar guise save for the hydraulically-damped Roadholder front fork, replacing the pre-war girder. The Inter would remain fundamentally unchanged until 1953 when it gained the race-developed Featherbed frame, all-alloy engine and 'laid down' 'box. This International was used for a John Lewis TV advertisement in July 2011 that was shot on Venn Street in Clapham, South London (see photograph on file). The original old-style logbook shows that the Inter was supplied by Whitby's of Acton Ltd, and lists John Marchant as 7th Change (undated). There is also an undated sales receipt showing that John paid £200 for the machine. The Inter has belonged to John since at least 1979, and he had restored it by August of that year, as evidenced by accompanying correspondence. Also in the history folder is a quantity of expired MoTs and tax discs; sundry invoices; a selection of photographs; old/current V5/V5C documents; a quantity of photocopied technical literature; and an original Maintenance Manual and Instruction Book.This machine has been stored in dry conditions and has seen little or no use since 2016.

1966 Royal Enfield 248cc Continental GTRegistration no. FAV 211CFrame no. 70030Engine no. GT15838A development of the popular Crusader, the Continental was introduced for 1963. The newcomer used the Super 5's tuned, 20bhp engine and five-speed gearbox but eschewed the latter's leading-link fork in favour of conventional telescopics while adding a rev counter, fly screen, dropped handlebars and (on some bikes) an Italian-style 'jelly mould' tank to the package. Pioneered on the Continental, the policy of including as standard all the performance-orientated 'extras' that customers might want to fit later was an enormous success, and this concept was extended further by the Crusader's ultimate development - the Continental GT - which arrived in November 1964. For his/her £270 the GT owner got clip-on 'bars, rear-set footrests, a racing-style glassfibre tank, and 'bacon slicer' brake cooling discs up front, in addition to an extra 1.5bhp. With its café racer styling, brisk performance and excellent handling, the GT was every young motorcyclist's dream and a well-deserved success for the Redditch concern. Previously registered as JJH 52C, this Continental GT has had five previous keepers (according to the HPI check sheet) and has belonged to the current vendor since 2021. An older restoration, the machine has 11,392 miles recorded on the odometer and displays tax disc that expired on 31st May 2007.

Property of a deceased's estatec.1950 Ariel 598cc VB ProjectRegistration no. unregisteredFrame no. AB3828Engine no. 2531By 1930 Ariel's new single-cylinder range, designed by the great Val Page, had gained a rear-mounted magneto and its distinctive timing cover, and the basic engine design - though frequently revised - would last well into the post-war era. Both overhead-valve and sidevalve versions were made, though there was only one of the latter in Ariel's post-war line-up: the 598cc VB, a long-stroke workhorse. First introduced for 1936 and intended for sidecar use, the VB was regularly updated along with the rest of the Ariel singles, gaining plunger rear suspension, a telescopic front fork and, finally, a swinging-arm frame as the 1950s progressed. Production ceased in January 1959 when parent company BSA decided to axe all of Ariel's four-stroke models.This incomplete and distressed Ariel VB is presented in 'barn find' condition and offered for restoration. Although displaying the registration 'PLE 239', neither the frame nor engine numbers correspond, hence the machine is offered unregistered and sold strictly as viewed, its mechanical condition being unknown. It should also be noted that both the frame and engine numbers are badly corroded.Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

B40GB 3152Introduced in September 1958, the unitary construction C15 replaced the outgoing C12 and would provide the basis for an entire range of singles in capacities up to 500cc. The first new C15-based model to feature an enlarged engine was the 343cc B40, an addition to the line-up for 1961. Many B40s would see service with the British Armed Forces, which ordered 2,000 following an extended reliability test. A number of modifications were made to the military-specification B40, including a lower compression ratio of 5.0:1; Zenith 'butterfly' carburettor; cut-down, moto-cross oil tank; external, cartridge-type oil filter; fork gaiters; and a fully-enclosed rear drive chain. Although the 'civilian' B40 disappeared from the range at the end of 1967, military production continued for another couple of years, the last machines being delivered in 1970. The B40 would remain in military service well into the 1970s. Nothing is known of the history of this B40.

K3 63659 (see text)Like the majority of its contemporaries, Norton relied on the sidevalve engine until the 1920s when the existing and well-tried 490cc unit was used as the basis for the firm's first overhead-valve design. After debuting on the racetrack, a road-going version - the Model 18 - was catalogued for 1923, quickly establishing a reputation for both speed and reliability. The Model 18 retained its essentially Vintage characteristics until 1931 when the range was extensively redesigned, dry-sump lubrication and a rear-mounted magneto being standardised. There were numerous improvements made to the engine throughout the 1930s, while Norton's own foot-change gearbox replaced the old Sturmey Archer in 1935. Production of an essentially unchanged 1939 model resumed after WW2 and then for 1947 the Model 18 was updated with the Roadholder telescopic fork in common with the rest of the Norton range, receiving a swinging-arm frame in 1953. The Model 18 was last catalogued in 1955.Acquired by the late owner in 2007, this Model 18 is an older restoration that is offered for recommissioning and sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over). It should be noted that the engine number is a non-factory stamping, and that the accompanying V5C document does not list the frame or engine number prefixes.

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 for 1956.This Bantam Major is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, history unknown. It should be noted that the displayed registration '2648 OI' is now assigned to another motor vehicle.

Property of a deceased's estatec.1951 Douglas 348cc 80 Plus ProjectRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 10956Engine no. 80/180Douglas commenced post-war production in 1947 with, naturally enough, a horizontally opposed twin, though unlike the vast majority of previous models the T35 mounted its engine across the frame. The engine was of unitary construction while the frame displayed even greater innovation with its swinging arm rear suspension (controlled by torsion bars) and leading-link Radiadraulic front fork. After development work had cured frame breakages and improved engine power, the revised version was dubbed the MkIII. The latter lasted until the advent of the new-for-1949 Mark IV. Standard and Sports versions were catalogued until the introduction of the Mark V for 1951. Also part of the range by this time were two specially tuned sports models known as the 80 Plus or 90 Plus depending on the level of performance achieved, a bench-tested 25bhp being required for a 90 Plus. A 21' front wheel and 9' brake were fitted to both models, which had contrasting finishes: maroon for the 80 Plus and gold for the 90 Plus. Believed to be an 80 Plus, this dismantled project consists of a frame, fuel tank, sundry parts and an engine (it should be noted the engine suffix '/80' incorrectly appears as the prefix). Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves regarding the condition and authenticity of this motorcycle prior to bidding.

Property of a deceased's estate1948 Norton 499cc Manx ProjectRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 13858Engine no. D11M 13858 1948Norton first used the 'Manx Grand Prix' model name for its over-the-counter racers in 1939, and when post-war production resumed the name had been shortened to 'Manx'. The post-war machines followed closely the specification of the pre-war models with single-overhead-camshaft engine, square cylinder head finning, upright gearbox and plunger-suspended 'garden gate' frames. The major modification in the immediately post-war years was the adoption of Norton's legendary 'Roadholder' telescopic front fork. The double-overhead-camshaft engine introduced in 1949 helped the Manx to remain competitive, as did the arrival of the 'Featherbed' frame in 1951. The late owner purchased this Manx from Bonhams' Stafford Sale in October 2004 (Lot 429). At that time the machine was 'offered as a project. The Manx remains as purchased: still missing the saddle, rear mudguard, BTH mag internals/cover, lower cam box cover, kickstart, etc, etc. Marque specialist Barry Strickland advises us that frame/engine 'D11M 13858' looks correct for a 1949 SOHC Manx. Norton factory records confirm that this machine was despatched to 'Agar Cross'. The machine is sold strictly as viewed and without documents. Its history is not known. Matching-numbers Manx Nortons are relatively rare and this example represents a potentially most rewarding project.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1966 Honda 305cc C78 DreamRegistration no. LAX 392DFrame no. CA78-1035355Engine no. CB77E-1035361Honda's first twin-cylinder motorcycle - the 250cc C7 - arrived in 1957 and would go on to form the basis of an extended range of similar twins in smaller and larger capacities. Displacing 305cc, the first of the latter were introduced in 1958 as the C75 tourer and CS76 'street scrambler'. These early Honda twins featured - to European eyes - somewhat idiosyncratic styling with their boxy leading-link fork, pressed-steel frame and swinging-arm, deeply valanced mudguards and enclosed drive chain. They were, nevertheless, extremely well engineered and well specified, boasting overhead camshafts and electric starters at a time when such advanced features were virtually unheard of in Europe.An example of Honda's 305cc tourer in its later C78 form was previously registered overseas. First registered in the UK in 2016, the Dream has belonged to our vendor since September 2021. The machine appears to be an older restoration. The odometer reading is 9,358 miles (possibly the distance covered since the rebuild) and the Honda is overall a tidy machine that would benefit from detailing. Used up to last year on occasional Sunday runs, the Dream is described by our vendor as 'a nice, easy and light bike to handle'. The machine is offered with V5C document, a Clymer manual, and some photocopied material.Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Clive Wood MBE Collection1952 Velocette 348cc MACRegistration no. ORL 794Frame no. MS 11541Engine no. MAC 17989In 1933 Veloce Limited augmented its established range of overhead-camshaft models with an overhead-valve 250 - the MOV. The newcomer's power unit was a 'high camshaft' design with enclosed valves, and the compact and sprightly machine featured a four-speed gearbox equipped with the company's new foot-change mechanism. The following year an overhead-valve 350 built along MOV lines appeared. This was the long-stroke MAC, which was subsequently bored out to create the 500cc MSS. Post-war, the trio of overhead-valve Velocettes continued much as before, with rigid frames and - initially - Webb girder forks. The MAC gained an alloy cylinder barrel and 'head for 1951, as well as Velocette's own telescopic front fork in place of the previous Dowty, and was further updated with a swinging-arm frame in 1953. The MAC was last produced in 1960.The late vendor acquired this 'rigid' MAC in July 2010. Last taxed to 31st May 2011, the machine is an older restoration offered for recommissioning. Accompanying documentation consists of an old-style buff continuation logbook (issued 1961); SORN paperwork; an expired MoT (2011); and a V5C Registration Certificate. It should be noted that the latter states that the machine 'was registered and/or used'. Comes with an original Owner's Handbook.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate1950 Norton 490cc International Model 30Registration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. E11 29964Engine no. 29964 E11One of the most charismatic model names in motorcycling, 'International' was first used by Norton for its top-of-the-range sports roadster in 1932. All new, the Inter's overhead-camshaft engine had been developed in the works racers over the preceding two years and retained Norton's classic 79x100mm (490c) bore/stroke dimensions. By the time production halted in 1939 the Inter was being built with a four-speed foot-change gearbox and plunger rear suspension, reappearing post-war in similar guise save for the hydraulically-damped Roadholder front fork, which replaced the pre-war girder. Marque specialist Barry Strickland advises us that this machine appears to be a good matching-numbers International from 1950 that has been fitted with a Clubman's (bolt-through) fuel tank. The factory records list gearbox number '55-28' (actual stamping 'G 55 A428'), '55' being the code for the Daytona specification 'box, which had a special high first gear. Norton factory records confirm this machine was despatched to 'Bradbury, Sheffield'. Currently displaying a total of 33,043 miles on the odometer, this beautifully patinated Inter is presented in age-related condition. In road-going trim complete with lights, the machine is offered with a 1958 continuation logbook for the registration 'MWJ 89'; however, that registration is not recorded in the HPI/DVLA database. Nevertheless, the logbook may assist the successful purchaser in retrieving that number and re-registering the vehicle under its original registration.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estateAJS 350cc 7R Racing MotorcycleFrame no. 4753 (see text)Engine no. noneBuilt from 1948 to 1963, Associated Motor Cycles' AJS 7R - known as the 'Boy Racer' - was one of the most successful over-the-counter racing motorcycles of all time. Almost all of Britain's road-race stars of the 1950s and '60s rode a 7R at some stage of their careers, and the model remains a major force in classic racing today. The 7R was conceived as a customer machine for sale to private owners, but was also campaigned by the factory. Although a new design by Phil Walker, the 7R with its chain-driven overhead-camshaft was very reminiscent of the AJS 'cammy' singles of pre-war days. While - initially - not as powerful as the Velocette KTT and Junior Manx Norton, the 7R's robust and simple construction endeared it to the privateer responsible for his own maintenance. While the duplex loop frame and Teledraulic front fork remained essentially unchanged throughout production, the engine underwent almost continuous revision, eventually producing 41bhp in 'short-stroke' configuration. AMC's own gearbox replaced the previous Burman in 1958.The AJS 7R offered here is presented in age-related condition, clearly unused for a considerable length of time. It should be noted that the frame number of this machine is considerably higher than any documented AJS 7R serial number. Moreover, the absence of an engine number indicates that this motorcycle might have been constructed using replica components. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine is offered without documents, its history unknown.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate1949 Vincent-HRD 998cc Rapide Series-B Registration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. R3817 Rear Frame No. R3817Engine no. F10AB/1B/1917 (see text) Crankcase Mating No's T6/T6•A recent barn-find discovery•Upgraded with Girdraulic forks•Unused for 20+ Years•A rewarding project for recommissioning or restorationThe outbreak of WW2 in 1939 brought production of all Series A models to a halt, and when Vincent resumed production at the war's end it was with the all-new Series B. Its rear suspension aside, the Series A Vincent-HRD had been conventional enough: tubular steel frame, girder forks, separate gearbox, etc but with the Series B Messrs Vincent and Irving effectively established the marque's reputation for the defiance of convention in the pursuit of engineering excellence. For a start there was no 'frame' as such, merely a fabricated box attached to the cylinder heads, that served as the oil tank and incorporated the headstock and the attachment point for the rear springs. The gearbox was integral with the engine, and the swinging arm pivoted directly in the engine/gearbox casings, features commonplace today but unusual 60 years ago. Only in his retention of the pre-war Brampton girder fork did Phillip Vincent appear to be lagging behind other manufacturers, almost all of which had switched to telescopics, but this apparent shortcoming would soon be addressed by the introduction of the famous 'Girdraulic' fork.Introduced in 1946, the Vincent-HRD Rapide Series B was immediately the fastest production motorcycle on sale anywhere, with a top speed of 110mph. The basic design clearly had even greater potential though, which would be realised later in the form of the Black Shadow and Black Lightning models. In 1948 the Vincent range began to be up-dated to 'Series C' specification but it would be 1950 before all Vincents left the factory in this form.An older restoration, repainted throughout, this Rapide is fitted with Girdraulics instead of the Series-B's Brampton forks. It should be noted that the engine has been painted black to resemble a Black Shadow, and that the engine number has been altered, the 'B' having been added by a previous owner. The Vincent Owners Club advises that the machine left the factory in 1949 as a Rapide. The Rapide is offered with a 1961 continuation logbook for the registration 'KNB 998' (listing engine number 'F10AB/1/1917' with no 'B'), which may assist the successful purchaser in retrieving that number and re-registering the vehicle under its original registration.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1981 Ducati 900 SSRegistration no. NPJ 753WFrame no. DM860SS*090624*Engine no. 092147 DM 860This Ducati 900 SS was purchased by the vendor in December 2005, since when it has covered fewer than 2,000 miles. In cosmetically poor condition when acquired, the bike was stripped, the frame stove enamelled, and the fork stanchions re-chromed. The vendor resprayed the fuel tank and wheels and treated the tank. A new Keihan full exhaust system was fitted and the bike generally tidied up (the wiring loom remains original). Other notable features include Hagon shock absorbers; replacement Lucas indicators (non-standard); stainless fasteners (on engine); and alloy clip-ons. The valve clearances have been set up but the engine has never been apart (factory seal still in place); it is said to run well but would probably benefit from a tune-up by a Ducati engineer. Our vendor finds the machine a pleasure to ride but not so comfortable at his age (64). It is with much regret that he is parting with the Ducati but feels that it is now time for a new owner to enjoy it. The machine was last run in December 2023, after which the fuel was drained from the tank and carburettors. Offered with a current V5C, some expired MoT certificates, and various invoices and bills.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1965 Norton 750cc AtlasRegistration no. COV 468CFrame no. 112250Engine no. 0/123345/PFirst seen in prototype form in 1962, the 745cc Atlas represented the biggest stretch yet applied to Norton's parallel twin. Built for export only initially (home market deliveries commenced late in 1964), the Atlas was fundamentally a larger-engined version of the existing 650SS, using the same Featherbed frame/Roadholder fork cycle parts. The arrival of the similar-capacity but Isolastic-framed Commando in 1967 spelled the end for the Atlas, which disappeared from the range towards the end of 1968. Almost the last of Norton's traditional featherbed-framed twins (the 650 lasted into 1970) this muscular road-burner is today highly sought after by collectors.This particular Atlas has been in the current ownership of the late vendor since 1994 where it's been dry stored and used sparingly, however the current mechanical condition is unknown therefore is sold strictly as viewed. Offered with a V5C, old style V5, invoices and expired MoT's.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
