WITHOUT RESERVEChassis number 71569B - JGD426 was first registered on May 18th 1951 in Glasgow and is one of two Albion FT521 s built by a local coachbuilder for the City of Glasgow Police, as a Black Mariah Prisoner Transport Vehicle. This vehicle has an infamous claim to fame for taking some of Scotlands most notorious criminals on their last short journey to the Gallows, one such was PETER MANUAL, an American born notorious SCOTTISH SERIAL KILLER who was convicted of murdering a total of seven people across Lanarkshire between January 1956 and his arrest in January 1958. During the course of Police investigations Peter Manual was to anonymously send Christmas and Birthday cards to the Detective leading the inquiry "to keep him on his toes". As he went to the gallows Peter Manuals last words were alleged to be "turn up the radio and I will go quietly". He was the third to last person to be hanged in Scotland and was transported to the Gallows at Barlinnie for execution by Prison Hangman Harry Allen on July 11th 1958. The story has recently been the subject of the three part ITV crime drama "IN PLAIN SIGHT". JGD426 has also appeared on film, featuring in the 2008 Scottish adventure comedy "STONE OF DESTINY" the fascinating true story of a real life Scottish Robin Hood. College student Ian Hamilton was a dedicated nationalist who deeply resented England s subjugation of Scotland. With the help of three fellow students in 1950 Hamilton managed to reignite Scottish national pride with a daring raid on the very heart of England. On a day to day basis JGD426 was used as regular transport for prisoners travelling between Barlinnie and Glasgow Sheriff Court and for security purposes was fitted with one man cells located just behind the driver. JGD426 was also to be used in the event of riots when offenders would be handcuffed to the wooden slats on the bench seats. Originally fitted with a EN272 petrol engine driven through a four speed crash gearbox, the vehicle is now fitted with a Perkins four cylinder 3.5 236 Diesel engine and fully synchronised gearbox due to the unavailability of of spares for the original units. After 11 years of sterling service Glasgow Police decided to dispose of the vehicle during 1962 at Auction and JGD426 was purchased by a Fruit and Vegetable Merchant who ultilised the vehicle around the sprawlling housing estates of Glasgow plying his wares. In recent years JGD426 was in the hands of a well respected Albion enthusiast appearing at several shows and vintage road runs. JGD426 Miles:TBC Keepers:6 Year:1951 MOT: Doors:2 Color:Blue

A 1934 Armstrong-Siddeley Special Burlington sports saloon, registration number DLH 779, chassis number 3349, engine number 599, maroon over black with gold coachlining. The Armstrong-Siddeley Special is indeed a special car. One of only 253 models manufactured, they were a final hurrah by the company prior to the outbreak of hostilities in 1939 and manufacturing for the war effort took precedence. They were squarely pitched against contemporary top drawer marque models such as Rolls- Royce Phantom III, K6 Hispano Suiza, Delage and Delahaye, finding favour with some of the most celebrated drivers of the time such as Sir Malcolm Campbell and S M (Sammy) Davies who both owned examples. The engineering and performance were exemplary for the period, with the five litre straight six engine crank cases and cylinder block being made of Hiduminium alloy mated to the silky smooth Wilson four speed pre-select gearbox, endowing the car with nearly 100mph capability.This particular Burlington sports saloon bodied Special has had a most interesting and charmed life, starting as one of two cars exhibited on the 1934 Earls Court Motor Show Armstrong-Siddeley stand ***(with unique white steering wheel)***. Chassis 3349 would then be retained by the company as a demonstration vehicle until registered to its first custodian a Mr W J King of Ottershaw, Surrey on 1st November 1936. Mr King passed the Special onto the Kensington?s, a husband and wife who both owned Burlington saloon Specials. The next owner a Mr Smith acquired 3349 from the deceased estate of Mr Kensington and subsequently sold the car to the classic car dealer Malcolm C Elder from whom our vendors uncle, a Mr T G Bidwell-Topham from Aintree, Liverpool purchased the car in 1982 and has remained in the family ever since.There is a comprehensive history file accompanying the car, including the original owners handbook, receipts from 1982 onwards, the bill of sale from Malcolm C Elder ( £10,500 ) extracts ( photocopies ) from various publications were 3349 has featured, correspondence between interested parties and more recent recent receipts (2008/present) for works carried out including an engine overhaul with new pistons and rebore, a new clutch, water pump, brake overhaul, new petrol tank and gearbox rebuild.This rare and imposing saloon is know offered to the open market for the first time in 37 years and offers an excellent opportunity for the discerning collector to acquire a piece of pre-war motoring history.V5C, MOT and tax exemptSee illustrationsAll lots in this sale are sold as is and bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.

A 1969 Lotus Elan S4 DHC, registration number PHL 450G, chassis number 45/8864, engine number K18424B, body number 7681M, red. Colin Chapmans Lotus Elan which appeared in 1962 set new standards for handling and style. With its stylish glassfibre body, new 16 valve twin cam engine, innovative steel backbone chassis and sophisticated suspension, it had no real competition making the majority of sports cars of the period look antiquated. Perhaps the only car to match the style, image and charisma of the Elan was Jaguars sublime E-Type. This particular Elan S4 has only covered a remarkable 28,000 miles from new in the hands of its three owners. Originally supplied by Normand of Bradford to its first owner a Mr J Dixon who retained the Lotus for a number of years before the car was acquired for a private collection and subsequently purchased by our vendor in 2004. The Lotus retains all those little things usually lost in a restored car such as the original supplied stickers. The only significant deviation from originality is a colour change from the original white to red by our vendor in 2005 which was carried out in his professional body shop. The Elan interior is completely as it left the factory with black vinyl seats and now faded black carpets. The engine, gearbox, chassis and running gear all are matching and even the hood is original with a crystal clear rear window. The accompanying history file contains correspondence from Lotus confirming matching numbers, images of the car being prepared for the respray, numerous receipts, previous tax discs, MOTs, the original service voucher book with two stamps and the original owners handbook. This beautifully presented low mileage Elan is worthy of inclusion in any significant collection and is a credit to its owner.

1977 BMW 528a four-door saloon Registration Number: SDP 280S Chassis Number: 4745422 On the face of it, a relatively unassuming white BMW 528 saloon; correspondence on file suggests that this car was modified using Hartge specialist tuning parts in the late 1980s. The car features a Hartge branded engine cover, triple 45DCOE carburettors and retains the automatic gearbox. The internal specification and condition of the engine is not known, but a Janspeed rolling road printout in the history file suggests 166bhp was achieved at that time. What can be confirmed, however, is that the car started very easily and ran well during our inspection and sounded extremely 'healthy' with a lovely exhaust note. A subtle rear window sticker for Birds Hartge Performance Specialists is a tiny giveaway. The car is fitted with non-standard Alpina-style wheels and a lovely period leather-rimmed Hartge steering wheel. Finished in white with a blue cloth interior, it is cosmetically 'fair' inside and out for a 42-year old car, but would appear to require some light restoration. There are signs of more recent service parts to the engine including some of the hoses and silicone HT leads. First registered on 1 August 1977, a vehicle history check states seven previous owners and the odometer showed a recorded 116,260 miles at the time of our recent inspection. The history file includes V5C registration document, a quantity of expired MoT certificates and invoices for parts and work undertaken in particular for extensive works carried out in 2008. Buyer's Premium for lots 1-10 will be at the reduced rate of 15% plus VAT.

1987 Corvette Callaway Twin Turbo Registration Number: BSB3775 (Texas, USA Registration) Chassis Number: 1G1YY2185H5108293 The Calloway Twin Turbo was a very high performance alternative to Chevrolet's standard Corvette. Offered by Callaway Cars under license from Chevrolet between 1987 and 1991, it was available at Chevrolet dealers by selecting a special option on the order specification sheet. The car came with normal Chevrolet warranty as well as an additional one-year 12,000-mile warranty from Callaway Cars. The conversion cost a massive $26,995 over the price of a base model Corvette and consisted of taking the engine out of the car and performing extensive modifications along with installing two turbochargers. Making over 380bhp, over 500 cars were subject to the conversion. One derivative of the Twin Turbo Corvette, the 880 bhp Callaway SledgeHammer recorded a speed of 254.76 mph making it the fastest road-going car at the time. Presented in metallic silver with black leather sports interior, the car is fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox. Paperwork with the car suggests a number of special options and upgrades were later made to further improve performance and Toyo Proxes R888 tyres are fitted. Mileage is recorded as 14,757 and a file containing various documents, correspondence and Calloway Owner’s Manual accompanies the car. Included in this documentation is a photocopy of a C&E 388 form dated July 1993 suggesting that duties were paid coming into the UK at that time, although the vehicle does not appear to have been UK registered. Buyer's Premium for lots 1-10 will be at the reduced rate of 15% plus VAT.

One of the last hand-built Aston Martins number 45 of 101 to be made; this outstanding example is everything you would expect from the ‘quintessentially British’ motoring legend that is Aston Martin. It’s the sheer presence of these formidable cars that first holds your attention. In classic Georgian Silver it really is stunning and a joy to behold from every angle. Few cars, even to this day, command quite the same level of awe and respect that is afforded to this masterpiece of automotive design. Then you have the interior; step inside and you are surrounded by hand-crafted opulence. Sumptuous Connolly Leather in Black, contrasting beautifully the traditional wood veneers and chrome fittings, surely this is one of Aston Martin’s finest hand-crafted interiors? The final part of the equation comes in the form of fabulous engineering. Nothing else sounds like a hand-built Aston Martin V8, just turning the key and revving the engine is enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, but of course it’s out on the open road that it all comes together. Power, Beauty and Soul.   First registered in 1997, this particular car has an extensive service history and benefitted from a major refurbishment including 4 new tyres and a Pioneer pop up radio/sat nav, she has only covered a total of 35,000 miles since new and was previously sold by Aston Workshop 6 years ago to a very discerning owner. This is a very tidy and very well maintained example of the Aston Martin V8 Coupe that drives just as an Aston Martin V8 should!With the production of the Virage ending in 1995, and for those customers who liked the look of the new Vantage but didn't want the brutal power of the twin supercharged V550, Aston Martin began to offer the 'V8 Coupe' which was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1996. This model shared the same chassis and body as the Vantage V550, with minor revisions to wheel arches, front spoiler and grille, and had basically the same interior. It also shared the same enhanced 5.3-litre V8 in fuel injected form, but without the twin superchargers, mated to a 4-speed Chrysler 'Torque Flite' automatic gearbox resulting in a more relaxed uncomplicated car but still an Aston Martin with 350 bhp and a 0-60 time of 5.9 seconds! Production of the V8 Coupe ran until 1999 by which time only 101 examples had been built, one of the last truly hand-built Astons before the factory geared up for Vanquish production. Further details and photographs to follow.View this lot in our showroom and marquee preview day Friday 5th July 2019, Beamish, County Durham 

1983 Scirocco Mk2 GL, 1,588 cc. Registration number HKH 595Y. Chassis number 53DK017254. Engine number FR147044. Initially built from 1974 as a replacement for the Karman Ghia, based on the Golf platform the Mk2 is not as sharp as the original Giugiaro designed masterpiece, but is far more refined than its predecessor. It was introduced in 1982 and used the same chassis from the outgoing model but with a larger body, giving more room inside and increased luggage space. Being generally more rounded, it also had a better drag coefficient of 0.38, making it 10% more slippery than the Mk1 with the high rear spoiler becoming an integral part of its overall look. In the UK, three models were offered - the CL, GL and GTi. The CL had a 1457cc carburettor engine with cloth interior, the GL featured a 1588cc 70bhp unit with a 4+E gearbox, alloys and a four-lamp grille, the GTi came with a 1588cc 110bhp injected engine. The last were produced in 1992 until the introduction of the third generation in 2008. HKH was first registered to Mr McLintock of Goole on the 18th of March 1983 and had its first service the following March at 6,480 miles. Our vendor then bought it and used it for many years until he passed it to a family member in 1995, he received it back again in 2000. At this time the mileage was some 81,000 and it required work to the brakes and exhaust, the head was also removed and overhauled. It was used sparingly; the last MOT being in 2004 with a mileage of 90,995. At 91,425 it was parked up on blocks in dry barn and it has remained there ever since, now the space is required. Sold with the V5C, 2004 MOT, and the original manuals, it will make a rewarding project for the next owner.

1982 Honda XL250S, 249 cc. Registration number FFW 94X. Frame number MDo1 5306174. Engine number MD01E 5306177. The XL250 is a four-stroke 250 cc motorcycle from Honda introduced in 1972 and manufactured through most of the 1980s. When it appeared it was the first modern four-stroke enduro motorcycle and the first mass-produced four-valve motorcycle. (The first four-valve single was the Ricardo Triumph four-valve of the 1920's, and the first four-valve engine was the Indian 8-valve V2 racer of 1911.) It is an "enduro" or dual-sport bike meaning it physically looks like a dirt bike, and shares many characteristics with a dirt bike, but it is street-legal and intended for on- and off-road use. The bike is completely mechanically operated as there are no hydraulics on the bike. The 250cc 4-stroke motor produces 24 horsepower at the wheel. The bike weighs 288 lbs with oil, grease, and petrol. Fuel capacity is 2.4 gallons. Demand for this model has remained high among collectors and enthusiasts. An interesting observation with the XL250s models were their narrow streamlining, being only 12 inches at their widest point excluding the handlebars. The 1981 XL250S was the last year to have the unique 23-inch front wheel, rear twin shock, and 6-volt electrical system. It also had upgraded rear brakes in a larger hub and a modified 5 plate clutch, and handsome twin speedo and tacho gauges. In 1982, the engine had the balancing shaft gear driven rather than chain driven making the engine quieter and a six-speed gearbox was introduced as well as an automatic cam chain tensioner. In 1982, Honda reverted to the 21-inch front wheel and introduced the rear single shock suspension, known as the Pro-Link, and a 12-volt electrical system. FFW was first registered on the 28th of July 1982 and by March 1986 it was with Andrew Skelton of Doncaster; he sold it to Martyn Barratt of Castleford in August 1986 and John bought it in March 2009. There are MOT's going back to 1986 when the mileage was 7,503, today it is at 16,791. This bike was John's winter bike of choice. Sold with the V5C, V5, various MOT's, a spare front mudguard, receipts and manuals, it should take little effort to recommission the machine.

1969 Suzuki T250 Hustler, 250 cc. Registration number HUM 201G. Frame number T250 13418. Engine number T250 13414. Using the Colleda marque name, Suzuki launched its first 250cc two-stroke twin in 1956 and the type would remain a fixture of the range for the next 40 years. The replacement T10 appeared in 1963 sporting, among numerous improvements, Suzuki's new 'CCI' pumped lubrication system. The next stage of development was the now classic T20 Super Six, which was marketed in the USA as the X6 Hustler. Introduced in 1965, the T20 was an entirely new design although still a 250cc parallel-twin two-stroke. The frame was now tubular and of the duplex loop type, while the gearbox offered the rider the luxury of six speeds for the first time on a road-going motorcycle. With its precise handling, good brakes, powerful motor and 90mph-plus top speed, the Super Six received rave reviews in the motorcycling press and soon established a giant-killing reputation in production machine racing. Improved T250 Hustler and disc-braked GT250 models followed but in essence the piston-ported twin altered little. Tested by Bike magazine (Autumn 1971 edition), a T250 Hustler reached an indicated 96mph and rocketed through the standing quarter-mile in 16.2 seconds, bettering the Yamaha YDS7 and BSA B25 Gold Star it was pitted against. HUM was bought as an USA import back in 1997 by John at an auto jumble and fully recommissioned it for his wives use; when first MOT'd the recorded the mileage was 16,378. It was subject to a full magazine article in the Classic Bike of May 1998. Over the years, like all of John's machines it was very well looked after, MOT'd and ridden every year and improved on whenever he felt it was required. The last MOT was at 22,311 miles in May 2017. Sold with the V5C, V5, MOT's from 1997 onwards, the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club dating certificate, a copy of the magazine article and various manuals, it should take very little to recommission this iconic Japanese 250.

1993 Honda GB 500 TT, 498 cc. Registration number K833 VKR. Frame number JH2PC1602KK001779. Engine PC16E2002127. As the World's most prolific motorcycle manufacturer there is barley such a thing as a rare Honda; however the GB500 TT just might be it. Introduced in 1980's it was first produced as 400 and then a 500cc based on the single cylinder XL off road bike engine. The TT stood as homage to the 'Tourist Trophy' races on the Isle of Man, which was ironic as the bike was only available as a grey import in the UK. In the increasingly important North American off-road market, where the single reigned supreme, Honda and its Japanese rivals began to manufacture them in capacities of 500cc and upwards, a state of affairs that led to the development of a succession of purely road-going derivatives. One of the most interesting of these was the XBR500 of 1985, the styling of which was unashamedly 'retro'. Honda took this concept a stage further almost immediately, launching the GB500 TT the following year. A factory 'café racer', the GB500 looked very British, boasting coachlined paintwork, clip-on handlebars, rear-seat footrests, chromed headlamp shell, matching speedometer and rev counter, and alloy-rimmed, wire wheels instead of the XBR's Comstars. The dry-sump, radial four-valve motor featured electric starting and delivered its 42bhp via a six-speed gearbox, while the entire ensemble weighed in at a little under 340lbs. 'It blends a touch of the past with the best of today's technology,' declared Honda of a model that struck a chord with mature riders who hankered after the past but disliked the associated oil leaks, dodgy electrics and general unreliability. VKR was imported into the UK in June 2003 and bought by John on the 25th September that year, transferring ownership to his wife in February 2004; it became her favourite ride and won a Class Winner rosette at the 2011 MGP Party on the Prom. A gentle recommissioning should have this bike on the road very quickly. Sold with the V5C, MOT's from 2006 when the mileage was 27,388 until 2017 when it had risen to 35,168 miles, the rosette, a dual seat, a rear seat hard cover and a maintenance manual.

1961 Velocette Venom Clubman, 499 cc. Registration number 358 BLT. Frame number RS 16672. Engine number VM 5189 (see text). Introduced in 1956, the Venom sports roadster was derived from the touring MSS. The latter had disappeared from the range in 1948, reappearing in 1954 with a new swinging-arm frame and telescopic fork. The engine too was up-dated, changing to 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 86x86mm and gaining an alloy cylinder barrel and 'head. Engine development pursued as part of the scrambles programme bore fruit in 1956 in the shape of the high-performance Venom and its 350cc sibling, the Viper. The MSS frame and forks were retained for the newcomers but full-width alloy hubs were adopted to boost braking power, and smart chromed mudguards fitted to enhance the models' sporting image. In 1960 'Clubman' versions of both were introduced, minus the enclosure panels of the standard models, which featured a raised compression ratio, Amal TT carburettor, 'racing' magneto, rear-seat footrests and a close-ratio gearbox among many other improvements. When supplied with the optional dolphin fairing, the model was known as the Clubman Veeline. Produced until the end of Velocette production in 1971, the Venom in its various guises represents the final glorious flowering of the traditional British sports single, and today these supremely well-engineered thoroughbreds are highly sought after. A total of 5,721 machines were produced between 1955 and 1970. In 1961 factory-prepared faired Velocette Venom and a team of riders set the 24-hour world record at a speed of 100.05 mph at Montlhéry, in France. It was the first motorcycle of any size to achieve an average speed of over 100 mph for 24 hours. This original example was John's favourite machine and received much attention and upgrading over the years of his ownership. Grove Classics state that it left the Veloce factory on the 17th March 1961 with engine 5689 and went to dealers Claude Rye on the Fulham Road in London; they sold it to Terrence Savage of Leyton on the 25th of March. He sold it to Ronald Gledhill of Enfield on the 29th July 1963; Roger Barrett of Waltham Cross then owned it on the 6th April 1965, followed by Andrew Holmes, John Murfin and George Taylor of Castleford in May 1976. By February 2006 John's wife had bought it, transferring ownership to him in June 2010. John set about a series of improvements, including an engine rebuild, belt clutch and electric start via a BTH mag. He rode it to France in 2010 and 2012. This very well sorted original Clubman will need light recommissioning before offering the next custodian a wonderful machine. Please note the V5C and R.F. 60 state the engine number to be 5689. Sold with the V5C, R.F. 60, MOT's from 2010 at 66 miles, today it is at 27,954, testimony to a well sorted and useable machine, a letter from Grove Classic confirming its originality, various receipts and manuals.

1988 Honda VFR750R, RC30, 748 cc. Registration number F829 LKN. Chassis number RC30 2001744. Engine number RC30E 2001795. One of the modern era's few immediately collectible classics, the Honda VFR750R - better known as the "RC30" - was created for just one reason; to win the World Superbike Championship, a feat it achieved in the nascent series' first two seasons of 1988 and 1989. While American Fred Merkel was bringing Honda its first two WSB crowns, Britain's Carl Fogerty used an RC30 to win the TT F1 World Championship in 1988 and 1989 and the equivalent FIM Cup in 1990. No mere short circuit racer, the RC30 and its derivatives proved durable enough to win a hat-full of Endurance Classics too. That this latter requirement was also part of the design brief may be determined from the fact that a quick release front fork and single sided swinging arm - essential for speedy wheel changes - were part of an unrivalled specification that included a twin spar alloy beam, 16 valve V4 engine with gear driven cams, close ratio 6 speed gearbox and four pot brake calipers. The RC 30 was also the first production bike in the world to feature titanium alloy, which was used to make the con rods and no expense was spared on the rest of the machine either. Every component was the lightest and most expensive possible for a road bike and the result was a motorcycle which weighed a paltry 185 kilos. Six years later the legendary Ducati 916 would still be heavier. Each RC30 was hand assembled one at a time in the firm's Hamamatsu plant where the factory race bikes were built meaning that customers were virtually getting their own works bikes built for them. All of which did not come cheap; at the time of its launch to the public in 1988 an RC30 cost near double that of other super sports 750's. Despite the passage of time and the progress of motorcycle technology, the RC30 remains a match for the latest generation of sports bikes but possesses an exclusivity that none of them can approach, "No other bike from the late 80's is lusted after like an RC30" reckoned Bike magazine. Only 3000 of these machines were built. 2001744 is believed to have been of French origin and possibly had race history (French and German examples were restricted to 100 bhp whereas the Japanese examples had been restricted to 77 bhp). It was registered by BAT Motorcycles of Westerham on the 16th June 2003 and sold to John on the 18th December 2003; at this time it was painted silver, the rear mudguard has a Honda colour code NH 193P A for pearl crystal white and NH193H which is the normal multi-colour scheme. . He then set about a full respray and recommissioning, including a new speedo, indicators and mirrors. It is unknown what the mileage was at the time of purchase but the MOT's that followed list 2004 16 miles; 2005 668 miles; 2006 1,243 miles; 2007 1,814 miles; 2008 1,815 miles. It was then SORNed until 2016 on the 8th June it was recommissioned, MOT'd at 1,859 miles, 2017 1,964 miles. It was then laid up due his illness. Fitted with a new battery the bike fired up with ease and sounds very healthy although recommissioning should be undertaken. Sold with the V5C, V5, MOT's since 2004, workshop manual and various related paperwork.I spoke to someone recently who knew of the bike and he said that when my client bought it the colour was silver/grey with gold wheels. It is believed that these were provided by Honda for the track marshals at French circuits. My vendor only found this out after he had restored it. There is no paperwork to back this up though.

1981 Suzuki FR50, 49 cc. registration number WAT 782X (see text). Frame number FR50 689549. Engine number 689583. The Suzuki FR50 is an underbone style motorcycle produced by Suzuki from 1974 to the early 1980s. It was very similar in design to the Suzuki FR80. It was powered by a 49 cc, two stroke, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine which incorporated a self-mixing system so it had a separate two-stroke oil tank and petrol tank. It is started by a kick start mechanism which turns over the engine. Despite being under 50cc the contemporary UK classifications designated it as a motorcycle, rather than a moped, which would have required the fitting of pedal drive. Like the FR80, the engine drives a 3-speed semi-automatic gearbox, with a heel-and-toe gear shift. WAT was registered on the 3rd September by our vendor’s daughter and used as a commuter bike until being laid up in 1984 with the Interceptor (BKX) and the Bullet (KKP). Due to works in the garden the bikes have been uncovered and are now offered for sale as restoration projects. Undoubtedly all original, WAT is offered for restoration with the V5 (it is recorded with DVLA), and a 1984 MOT with a mileage of 8,247.

1982 Yamaha RD 350 LC, 347 cc. Registration number NTY 607X. Frame number 4L0110683 (see text). Engine number 4L0110683. Very few motorcycles of recent times have achieved 'cult' status so quickly and to the same extent as Yamaha's legendary 'LC'. Launched at the Tokyo Show in 1980, the RD250/350LC marked the introduction of water cooling to Yamaha's range of potent middleweight two-strokes while also bringing mono-shock rear suspension and - in the 350's case - twin disc front brakes to the package for the first time. Water cooling had been a feature of the Hamamatsu firm's TZ racers for some years, and the LC's family resemblance was obvious. The 350LC continued the Yamaha tradition of giant-killing performance established by the air-cooled RD350 and RD400, and although its circa 110mph top speed was inferior to that of the larger, multi-cylinder opposition, over twisty going a well ridden 350LC could show almost anything the way home. It was also relatively inexpensive, endearing itself to impecunious younger riders, whose high-street stunts rapidly established the easily-wheelied LC's 'hooligan bike' credentials. The availability of noisy expansion chamber exhausts and a host of other tuning accessories - some of dubious merit - only served to further enhance the LC's 'bad boy' image. This capacity for easy personalisation remains an essential part of the LC's appeal; few remained standard for long, a state of affairs that has led to the few totally stock survivors becoming highly prized. NTY was purchased by James Todd of Durham on the 3rd June 1982 from Team Ham Yam Racing of Chester-Le-Street for £1,045 and serviced by them on the 1st July at 522 miles, followed by 22nd July at 1000 miles and the 20th October at 2000 miles, MOT's are on file from 1985, 4,250 miles, 1986, 5,158 miles, 1987, 5,621 miles, 1988, 6,770 miles and 1991 at 10,626 miles. In the late 1980's he sold it to a friend and subsequently bought it back in 1991. He then fell ill and the bike was laid up (along with a 1985 RD500LC that these rooms sold in July 2018). When he passed away his brother inherited both machines in May 2015. He has just finished recommissioning the350, including the brakes, chain, battery, clutch, gearbox seals and an oil change. He states the machine to be totally original except for one handlebar grip and the radiator cover which have been replaced with OEM parts. Sold with the V5C, original sales invoice, service book, owner’s handbook, workshop manual, original toolkit, receipts for recent works and various other spares. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an unmolested, original RD350LC. As with all machines purchased at auction one should satisfy one’s self as to the commissioning of the bike.

1951 BSA A7S Star Twin Plunger, 498 cc. Registration number HFU 220 (non transferable). Frame number ZA7S 18940. Engine number AA7 3067. Announced in September 1946, the A7 was BSA's first production parallel twin. The basic concept was in development by August 1939. Herbert Perkins and David Munro were the architects; two talented engineers building upon a foundation laid down by Val Page. It started as a rigid frame model, then went to optional plunger frame (1951) and finally to swinging in arm (1954). The engine was extensively revised for 1951 along the lines of the newly introduced Bert Hopwood-designed A10 650, and then in 1954 BSA's twins range was greatly expanded with the arrival of four new models featuring swinging-arm rear suspension. The introduction of the new duplex frame meant that the original A7's bolted-up gearbox had to go, but otherwise the engine remained much as before, though the new sports 500 - the A7 Shooting Star - featured an alloy cylinder head and detachable inlet manifold. With 32bhp on tap, the A7SS was good for a top speed in excess of 90mph. Production of all A7 models ceased with the introduction of the unitary construction A50 in 1962. HFU was first registered on the 5th April 1951 to Sidney Coupland, motorcycle dealer of Boston who used it as his demonstrator, he sold it to Denis Brader on the 18th, he sold it to Porters, motorcycle dealers of Spalding on the 24th May 1954, they sold it to Gerald Salter who a year later sold it to Guest, motorcycle dealers of King's Lynn, who in turn sold it to James Peacock of Norfolk in January 1956. By 1961 it was with Graham Coates of King's Lynn. In the early 1980's it was bought by Chris Owen of Peterborough as a basket case in need of a total rebuild (he remembers Sidney Coupland from his youth). This included all of the tinware, a new tank, wheels and an engine rebuild. At this time he had not registered it with DVLA who issued it an age related number JSU 977; later they allowed the original to be reissued. It was used as his main bike until being retired in 1990 and fully overhauled again over the winter of 2006/7. Sold in 2009 to J. Connelly of St. Albans who sold it in 2010 to Robert Colley of Sheffield. He sold it to our vendor in May 2012, when the mileage was 20,929, today it is 21,857. Sold with the V5C, R.F.60A, 2012 MOT, letter from Chris Owen and other paperwork, it is rare to find a machine with such a comprehensive history, with matching numbers and we recommend close examination of this machine. A gentle recommission should get you on the road with ease as it was last on the road in 2018.

1955 BSA Gold Star, sprint motorcycle 500 cc. Registration number, not registered (see text). Frame number CB32 1885. Engine number DB34 GS 603 (see text), also 66 1680. Gearbox RRT 5. Post war, BSA launched the ZB32 in 1948 at a price of £211. In order to satisfy the eligibility requirements for the Clubman's TT, over 100 machines were produced, 21 of which were entered into the 1949 350 cc junior race, a race to be dominated by Gold Stars for the next eight years. The 350CC model was followed by the 500 cc ZB34. 1953 saw the introduction of the BB series (BB32-350 cc/BB34-500 cc) with new duplex cradle frame and swinging arm rear suspension. These were followed in 1954 by the CB series with engine changes aimed primarily at the road racers. Immediate success was achieved in the Clubman's TT and this cycle of engine redesign and immediate success was repeated the following year with the DB series. Towards the end the Gold Star was only offered in scrambles or Clubman's trim. This bike has spent its life in New Zealand; the frame was consigned to Messrs Scholefield Goodman in Scramble form on the 13th January 1955 on consignment 60168 and the engine went to Messrs Cargills in Clubman form on consignment 72208 on the 10th February 1956. Our vendor bought it from a John Collins of Christchurch and it is believed he owned and raced it over a 39 year period. In its present guise it is stated to have a new barrel and piston, big valves, a 5 speed Nova gearbox, Dow forks, TLS front brake, competition magneto, belt drive and clutch. Displaying pre 63 race meet stickers it is sold with no paperwork, some spares including a spare belt and barrel and a paddock stand. Buyers should satisfy themselves over this machine as the engine number has been altered in the opinion of the cataloguer. Sold with Gold Star Owners Club dispatch book entry copy, dated 5th April 2019.

1932 Douglas K32, 350 cc. Registration number YY8817. Frame number F1224. Engine number 35/D157. Gearbox number A/255. The brothers William and Edwin Douglas founded the Douglas Engineering Company in Bristol in 1882 and worked with Joseph Barter, installing his 200 cc flat-twin engine in line in their own frames. When he went out of business in 1907 they took over production of the engine, the basics of which they followed until they closed in 1957. In the 1920's Douglas built the first disc brakes, and had a Royal Warrant for the supply of motorcycles to the Princes, Albert and Henry. Due to their low centre of gravity they were popular in dirt track racing. The 1923 RA model with disc brakes was favoured initially and this prompted Douglas to build specific dirt track models. The engines had hemispherical heads and a short rigid forged crankshaft. They dominated dirt track racing for about three years. In 1929, the most successful dirt racing year, 1,200 Dirt Track motorcycles were sold. The Douglas stand at the 1931 Olympia Show displayed a largely unchanged range of models from the previous year, including the lightweight 500 cc machine which enjoyed the advantage of qualifying for the 30’s per annum tax concession and the 750 cc side valve model was redesignated the H32 for the forthcoming season. By this time Douglas were suffering serious financial constraints in an economy still recovering from recession and for the 1932 season all prices were reduced in an effort to remain competitive against the likes of Triumph and BSA, and also in an effort to clear existing stocks to provide liquidity. Two new models were introduced for the 1932 season, the 500 cc M32 and the 350cc Model K32. Both of these new models featured 'over square' engines with enclosed pushrods and high-mounted carburettors. In both cases the engine combustion chambers were immediately above the valves. The Model K was essentially a touring bike with sporting pedigree reflected in its performance and, in full touring trim; a top speed in excess of 70 mph was achievable. YY was first registered on the 26th November 1932 and is one of only six known to the Douglas register. Nothing is known of its early life but in January 1975 it was owned by Robert Clark of Newcastle upon Tyne, he sold it to Richard Southern of Folkestone in 1983, who in turn sold it to E.W. Stafford of Romney Marsh in January 1989; when he passed away in 2009 his wife and son took over ownership selling it to our vendor in 2017. Subject of an older restoration undertaken by Bob Stafford, it is in good running order and has undertaken many local runs. A change of circumstances necessitates its sale. Sold with the V5C, VE 60, various older correspondence, two Douglas booklets this rare machine is ready to use, although as with all old machines one should check it over before use.

A 1980 Reliant Scimitar GTC, registration number ONM 692V, Champagne. The GTC is a rare car as only 442 were built over a six year period between 1980 and 1986. The body featured a T-bar roof similar to Triumph's Stag which offered rigidity to the structure and safety to the four passengers. The running gear was taken care of by the tried and tested Ford V6 engine and gearbox in either automatic or four speed manual with overdrive. This rare manual overdrive equipped example is finished in Champagne with a Mushroom velour interior and has the benefit of being fitted with a hard top for all year round motoring. Our vendor advises us that the Scimitar is running and driving with a current MOT but would benefit from some fettling in a few areas. There is a good accompanying history file with receipts for maintenance, previous MOTs and an original owners handbook. Now offering an alternative to the contemporary Triumph Stag or Mercedes SL at a much more competitive price this GTC is well worth consideration. V5C, MOT to July 2019, ***not tax exempt yet*** See illustration.
