c.1953 MV Agusta 123.5cc Bialbero Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 130042Engine no. 0042First seen in 1948, MV Agusta's racing 125cc two-strokes were very successful but at World Championship level 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 in 1950. However, the new Remor-designed 125cc four-stroke bialbero (twin-cam) was not an immediate success. It was only following Mondial's withdrawal that MV bagged its first 125cc World Championship, Cecil Sandford taking the riders' title in 1952. MV's '125' had been extensively redesigned for '52, gaining telescopic forks, full-width alloy hubs and a sleeker fuel tank, while maximum power increased to 15bhp. Les Graham's influence saw the '125' equipped with Ernie Earles' leading-link front forks for 1953 and these also found their way onto the 500cc four. Graham won the Isle of Man Ultra-lightweight TT that year, but his tragic death a few days later dealt a severe blow to the team's fortunes. NSU's Werner Haas took the riders' title in the 125cc class but MV did at least have the satisfaction of retaining the manufacturers' crown.This MV bialbero consists of a frame and engine believed unoriginal to one another. The MV was purchased from a German dealer, who had acquired it in Italy, and was last run in 2018. The machine's mechanical condition is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Registration No: SKR 730GChassis No: 1R10931MOT: ExemptOffered with Heritage certificate and current V5cMatching chassis and engine numbers plus manual gearboxDispatched to British Leyland, New York on the 24th October 1969Originally finished in BRG with Cinnamon interiorSaid to 'run and 'drive' however in need of recommissioningTriumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its supercar performance, stunning looks and modest price tag. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer's reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the E-type's combination of all-around independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent roadholding and handling capabilities. The indomitable straight-six XK twin-cam engine supplied abundant power. If the design had an Achilles' heel then it was the recalcitrant Moss gearbox. However, Jaguar was quick to correct this shortcoming with a four-speeder of its own design just part of a continual programme of E-Type development that saw the model metamorphose through three Series. Introduced in August 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Available in open two-seater, fixed-head two-seater and fixed-head 2+2-seater guises, the American market accounted for the vast majority of Series II production.

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASE, CONCENTRIC CALENDAR AND CENTRE SECONDSJohn Wyke, Liverpool, circa 1770The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with centre-planted Graham-type deadbeat escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 13.25 inch brass break-arch dial incorporating additional brass sweep centre seconds and pierced concentric calendar hands to the foliate scroll engraved matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring engraved with days-of-the-month to inner track and with Arabic five minutes to outer, with scroll-pierced steel hour and minute hands and female mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, beneath arch with rolling moonphase calibrated with age of the moon to the circumference and with silvered star overlays to the delineated sphere engraved lunettes beneath arched silvered nameplate engraved JOHN WYKE LIVERPOOL to upper margin, the case in the manner of Gillows with cavetto moulded swan neck pediment, gilt scroll decorated blue glass panel inserts and break-arch frieze over the hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by square-section reeded Corinthian columns, the sides with conforming pilasters planted towards the rear, the trunk with dentil-edged concave throat and blind fretwork frieze over shaped-top caddy-moulded door flanked by fluted quarter-columns, the plinth base with stepped ogee top mouldings over shaped panel to front flanked by canted angles decorated with simulated quoins, on ogee bracket feet.246cm (97ins) high, 61cm (24ins) wide, 30.5cm (12ins) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. John Wyke of Prescott and Liverpool is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as born in Prescott in 1720 and working up until 1787. His life and work is much more comprehensively described by Alan Smith in the preface of Wyke, John A CATALOGUE OF TOOLS FOR WATCH AND CLOCK MAKERS facsimile reprint of the late 18th century catalogue published for The Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum by the University Press of Virginia, Charlottesville in 1978. Smith notes that Wyke was established in Prescott by 1753 and by 1759 was preparing to move to Liverpool where he was sworn in as a burgess in 1761. Shortly after moving to Liverpool Wyke became associated with other enlightened individuals such as fellow clockmaker and polymath Joseph Finney and the Liverpool merchant, Thomas Bentley of 'Wedgwood and Bentley' fame. Bentley in-turn introduced Wyke to Josiah Wedgewood who was looking for a suitably skilled toolmaker to supply punches and other tools for the potting trade. During this period Wyke's workshop established itself as a leading supplier of tools to the horological and other trades, indeed Smith notes that he supplied tools to the eminent engineer James Watt in 1767.In around 1770 John Wyke took in fellow clock and watchmaker Thomas Green into partnership; Green had been working for Wyke as foreman up to this point hence was seen as a natural successor. Wyke's health went into decline from around 1783 and he died at home in Liverpool in 1787 leaving Thomas Green to continue the business which he did until after 1800. The current lot is very much a typical example of Wyke's work (albeit with additional refinements of centre seconds and concentric calendar) and can be compared to two examples illustrated by Smith in the aforementioned publication on pages 8 and 9 (Figures 8-11).Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial is in good clean condition with only very slight tarnishing/discolouration to the silvered finishes in places; the lunar disc retains original painted finish with slight wear/rubbing only. The movement and dial sit on what appears to be the original seatboard onto uprights (cheeks) within the case which are free from visible alteration/adjustment hence in our opinion the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is generally in good original condition. The superstructure of the hood appears to survive in its original form (there is no evidence of a box or any other type of structure being previously fitted) and looks undisturbed. The infill to the front of the pediment is blue glass painted with gilt scrollwork - this is most likely a replacement as the original was most likely verre-eglomise. The inside of the hood has had some strengthening/re-gluing around the dial mask - this is most likely die to the mask becoming a little loose hence not indicative that the movement and dial have been married to the case.The trunk and base are in good original condition, the trunk door lock and hinges have been replaced otherwise faults are very muck limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage (most noticeably within the figuring of the trunk door veneers) and other slight age related blemishes commensurate with age and use.Clock has pendulum, two weights, pendulum, case key and winder.

A FINE GEORGE III GOLD PAIR-CASED POCKET WATCH WITH CYLINDER ESCAPEMENTThomas Mudge and William Dutton, hallmarked London 1781The gilt full plate single fusee movement with four square section baluster pillars pinned through the backplate, scroll-pierced stop-iron block and cylinder escapement regulated by sprung three-arm steel balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine asymmetric foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with herringbone bordered rim and grotesque mask at the junction with wedge-shaped relief engraved foot flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent applied scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature Tho's Mudge, W. Dutton, London and numbered 1207, with gilt brass dust cover similarly signed Tho's Mudge, W. Dutton, London and slightly convex white enamel Roman numeral dial incorporating Arabic five minutes to outer track and with gold beetle and poker hands, the gold inner case applied with suspension post and ring at twelve o'clock and fitted with convex glass to bezel, the conforming outer case engraved with an oval cartouche enclosing armorial of a fist grasping a crescent over initials R H, both cases marked for London 1781 maker I T P for John Terrill Pain of Fetter Lane, London.The pillar plate 3.8cm (1.5ins approx.) diameter; the outer case 5cm (2ins) diameter. Provenance: Supplied new in 1781 to R. Hibbert (believed to be Robert) thence by direct family descent to the present owner. The crest engraved to the rear of the watch is recorded in Fairbairn's Book of Crests (1905) as belonging to the Hibbert family, Chorley, Lancashire and is described 'A Dexter Cubit Arm Erect, Vested Az., Cuffed Erm., Holding In The Hand Ppr. A Crescent Arg.'. Thomas Mudge was born in Exeter, Devon in 1717 and was apprenticed to George Graham before setting himself up in business at 151 Fleet Street, London in 1748. At around the time of the death of his former Master in 1751, Mudge was joined in partnership by a fellow former apprentice of Graham, William Dutton, who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1738 and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1746.The business subsequently traded from 148 Fleet Street and Mudge, whilst in partnership with Dutton, rapidly acquired a reputation as one of England's outstanding watchmakers. In around 1755, if not earlier, Mudge invented the detached lever escapement, which he first applied to a clock, but when incorporated into a watch became the greatest single improvement ever applied to them.In 1765 Mudge published the book, Thoughts on the Means of Improving Watches, Particularly those for Use at Sea, and the following year, alongside Dutton, was elevated to Liveryman. In around 1771 Thomas Mudge retired to Plymouth in order to spend more time to pursue his development of a marine timekeeper. The first of these went on trial in 1774 where it performed superbly leading to an award of 500 guineas. Mudge went on to complete two others in 1779 in the continuing attempt to satisfy the increasingly difficult requirements set by the Board of Longitude. They were tested by the Astronomer Royal, Nevil Maskelyne, and declared as being unsatisfactory. There followed a controversy in which it was claimed that Maskelyne had not given them a fair trial. A similar controversy had arisen when John Harrison had been denied the full amount of the 1714 prize by the Board of Longitude. Eventually, in 1792, two years before his death, Mudge was awarded £2,500 by a Committee of the House of Commons who decided for Mudge and against the Board of Longitude, then headed by Sir Joseph Banks.In around 1775 Dutton took both his sons (Thomas and Matthew) into the business forming a second partnership of William Dutton and Sons however the name Mudge and Dutton was often still used (mainly for watches) up to around 1790. William Dutton died in 1794 leaving the business to be continued very much in his tradition by his sons Thomas and Matthew. The cylinder escapement was developed in around 1695 by Thomas Tompion and further refined by George Graham in 1726. This new escapement was perhaps the first developed exclusively for watch work and, as well as being a better rate keeper, the cylinder escapement also allowed movements to be made more compact (due to the escapement operating in one plane only). However, being a form of frictional rest escapement, the cylinder escapement was prone to relatively heavy rates of wear hence was less reliable than the verge (until hardened steel escape wheels and ruby cylinders were developed later in the 18th century).The present watch is remarkable in that it has survived in fine original condition having remained in the same family ownership since it was made.Condition Report: The escape wheel is a replacement (almost certainly a 'service' replacement due to wear to the teeth) otherwise movement appears to be all-original and in very fine condition with strong clean gilding with no scuffing etc around the dial and movement feet pins. The movement is in fine working condition. The dust cover is in fine original condition with negligible wear to the gilding or blued slide-latch. The dial appears to be in perfect condition except for a very slight tiny dimple to the enamel next to the XI numeral (can only be seen on very close examination under reflected light). There is no visible evidence of restoration. The inner case is free from noticeable denting or repair and the hinge and bezel are in fine condition and align perfectly. The outer case is also in very fine condition having only slight rubbing to the engraved crest. There are no visible dents or evidence of repair and the case closes perfectly with fully operational clasp.Watch is complete with a late Georgian gold winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
A VIENNESE ROSEWOOD GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING WALL REGULATORUnsigned, mid 19th centuryThe four pillar triple train eight-day movement with Graham type deadbeat escapement incorporating tall inverted Y-shaped pallets regulated by brass lenticular bob pendulum with ebonised wood shaft and incorporating fine beat adjustment to the crutch, the quarter train sounding on one of the pair of graduated gongs positioned on a brass scroll-shaped bracket behind the movement followed by the hour train sounding the last hour on the second gong, the two-piece white enamel Roman numeral dial with brass edged recessed centre, pierced steel hands and repeating scroll cast brass bezel, the case with a foliate scroll carved crest over shaped ogee moulded pediment centred with a keystone over fill-height arch glazed door applied with moulded scrolls to upper and lower margins as well as to the centre between, the sides with tall rectangular glazed windows over ogee-outline base with scroll carved pendant.140cm (55ins) high, 38cm (15ins) wide, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection.Condition Report: The movement appears complete and original with no obvious evidence of alteration or significant replacements/losses. The movement is understood to have been maintained in working condition however we are unable confirm whether it is fully operational as will require setting-up and adjustment before reliable operation is likely to be achieved. Mechanism is also now a little dirty hence a gentle clean/service is advisable. The crutch has a solder repair. The pendulum is in good condition. The dial is free from visible faults other than a couple of very light surface scratches; two of the brass ferrules for the winding holes are currently detached. All three weights are present but have some denting to the brass coverings.The case is in good overall condition, the crest is contemporary with the case but probably started life on a different clock. Faults are otherwise generally limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear and some of the finishes are a little uneven.Clock has pendulum, three weights and a winder.
