1983 Bamby, 49cc, Project. Registration number KAT 186Y. Chassis number 14. Engine number was 14. Bamby Cars was a British-built marque of microcars produced in small numbers in Hull, England, in the early 1980s. Bambys were designed and built by Alan Evans, who manufactured a one-off replica of the Peel P50 which also served as a prototype for further production. The Bamby featured a fibreglass body with left side gull-wing door with three-wheels and a single wheel in the rear. Initial models were equipped with hand-started Minarelli 49 cc engines, cable brakes and single headlamps. Improvements introduced included replacing the original engines with the type fitted by Yamaha to their Passola moped, using the main frame components as a subframe for attaching to the body of the car. Brakes were converted to hydraulic discs, but the single headlamp was retained until a further face-lift, from which time two headlights were fitted. At this time the gull-wing entry was deleted and a front-hinged door installed instead. Also introduced was a Suzuki engine, attached via a full chassis, in place of the previously used subframe. Like the Peel P50, there was no reverse gear. The new model was exhibited at the Ideal Home Exhibition of 1984, meeting with overall public approval, but few were made and the final Bamby left the factory within a few months KAT was first registered in May 1983 according to the V5 and owned by Bamby Cars, they sold it it to Allen Forster of Durham in 1991 or 1992. A photograph on file (of A833 NKH) states it was the last Bamby produced and reiused the registration from an earlier car. It is one of the later examples that had a steering wheel, conventional hinged door, two headlights. Our vendor bought it in 2002 to add to his collection. Stripped of its running gear it is sold with the V5, and a copy of The Bamby Story by Bob Cotton whose son used one for several years.

1967 Triumph Tiger T100SS, 500cc. Registration number RRA 994E. Frame number T100SS-H43182. Engine number T100SS-H443182.This model created a new evolution of sports machines which would last for eight years, and was the first C class machine not to debut with the bathtub fairing. Instead the UK model had the new 'bikini' fairing, a separate chrome headlamp rather than the nacelle, and a slim front mudguard rather than the roman helmet design whereas in the US the fairing was dropped altogether. It wasn't until the 1964 model that the UK version lost its fairing.It was lighter than the T100A that it evolved from which provided increased performance over that model, but over time the bike got heavier until in 1970 it was 161kg; though still lighter than the T100A. One of the causes of this increase in weight was the introduction of a twin leading shoe front drum brake in 1969.Owned by Paul Retallick of Lancing in 1991 it was then bought by Giles Lesser of Macclesfield in 1993, by 1993 it was with Kathryn Whitworth, our vendor buying it in 2019. He has rebuilt it and repainted it in this distinctive black/bronze combination.There is MOT history from 1991 at 11,459 miles, through to 1998 at 13,640 miles, in 2015 it was 13,653 miles and the recent one in 2019 at 136,781 miles must be taken as incorrect!Our vendor is now emigrating so is passing the bike onto a new home.Sold with the V5C, V5, and old MOT's.

A 1973 Volvo P1800 ES Automatic Reg No. BDL41LChassis No. 3893Engine No. 765Gearbox No. 300559Body No. 3932Odometer 14680, Note Vendor states from UK import in 1973 to 1987 38,201, new speedo fitted and current reading is to present day, total mileage circa 52,900The Volvo P1800 ES was the last model manufactured in the P1800 series only being produced between 1972 and 1973. Effectively its design was a shooting-break derivation of the P1800 Coupe which was introduced in 1961 using the mechanical underpinnings of the Volvo Amazon/122 series. The P1800 was popularised by the 1962 British TV series “The Saint” starring Roger Moore.Our Volvo has been extensively restored using many well known model restorers, the simply outstanding result can only be described as just short of Concours condition. Finished in Ferrari Red with Black interior, Red carpeting, gleaming chrome, under bonnet detailing of superb quality. The vendor reports that over the years that this restoration has taken place over £25,000 has been spent. The 1986cc B20 engine starts and runs beautifully driving through a smooth changing Borg Warner 35 automatic gearbox. A period radio has been fitted but is not connected as the owner didn’t want to make unnecessary holes in the interior, he also advises that the HRW is not operating. A large file of restoration invoices come with the car. Two other Volvo P1800’s reside with the vendor upon which he wishes to concentrate, hence this car is reluctantly offered for sale.Full body and mechanical restoration 2014/15 – bodywork and paint by ACJ Vehicle Repairs, Diss with the following works carried out;Original B20 engine rebuilt by Amazon Cars Ltd (with unleaded head, electronic distributor and SU carburettors)Borg Warner BW35 automatic gearbox (same as in Aston Martin DB4/5, Jaguar Mk2, Triumph Stag, etc.)New seals, sump gasket kit & kickdown cable.SU carburettors restored by Andrew Turner, Colsterworth, LincsSteering box rebuilt by Ultimate Recon Ltd., Birmingham.Cooling system – new water pump, radiator re-cored, new pipes and hoses.Braking system – new calipers, discs, master cylinder, flexible hoses and kunifer pipework.Suspension - new shock absorbers, ball joints and poly bushes.Front wishbones, rear torque/support arms and front & rear springs blasted & painted.All original chromium parts re-plated by Silchrome Ltd., Leeds (inc.

Triang - A Triang E Type Jaguar Pedal Car. The light blue pressed steel pedal car, comes with windscreen, white plastic steering wheel, white bucket seat, and comes with original spoked wire wheels, suspension to back axel, pedals and working crank. Both headlamp covers are missing, plus a front indicator and there are some missing pieces on the front and rear bumpers. The car has endured a collision at some point and has a dent to the front of the body which has also bent the 'Jaguar E-Type' badge. The car has rusting in several areas, appearing to be in Fair condition overall.
The original metal Prototype 0 Gauge American 4-4-0 'Genoa' Locomotive and Tender, unpowered, and with full detailing to right side only, finished in dark grey with red and yellow trim as Virginia and Truckee RR No. 12 (tender is decorated on both sides), a heavy model with many fine turned brass components, two large threaded holes to left side of boiler, G, several damages notably to soldered-wire cowcatcher (pilot), front headlamp slightly askew, whistle-pull wire and one cab step detached, some small parts included in bag, plain card box labelled 'Genoa O' 7204/B4, '1o Campione in Metallo', and with Pocher/Rivarossi branded tape binding
Fast, attractive, manual six-speed Grand Tourer in a stylish Blue Swaters Metallic over gorgeous tan leather.Produced from 1992 until 2003, the Ferrari 456 and later 456 M are front-engined 'Grand Tourers' in true Ferrari tradition and were an overdue replacement for the outdated, front-engined 412 which had been the company's premium four-seat V12 car for many years. The name '456' refers to the fact that each cylinder displaces 456 cubic centimetres and this was the last Ferrari to use this naming convention. Despite its supercar performance, 436bhp, 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds, and a top speed of 188mph, the 456 has a relatively unstressed engine which has proven to be a very reliable unit. Its looks are smooth and understated, and distinctive external features include a small grille with fog lights on the outside, bonnet-mounted air scoops (removed on the 456M), and pop-up headlights, making this the last Ferrari to do so. The model was warmly received by press and enthusiasts alike, and although not produced in large numbers was always gently in demand by 'silver-haired' Ferrari owners before the 456M was eventually replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti.Finished in the rare colour combination of Blu Swaters Metallic with tan leather, this front-engine, V12 manual gearbox, Grand Tourer is a very useable example. Initially supplied to European specification, it was imported into the UK in 2017 with an odometer reading of just 95,874km (59,573 miles). In November 2021, it was subject to a comprehensive service at a cost of £8,567 with Ferrari specialists Stradale Italia, and this work included replacing the cambelts, auxiliary drive belt, air-conditioning belt, tensioners, engine oil and filter. It also included spark plugs, brake fluid, wiper blades, air flow meter, headlamp motor, an engine cooling system flush and antifreeze required as a reconditioned radiator had been fitted. The water pump was replaced at the same time together with a refurbished alternator, re-gassed air conditioning and screen washer system. The 456 was the final Ferrari to offer classic ‘pop-up’ headlamps and overall the Pininfarina-styled coachwork seems to become more attractive as time moves on, subtle and stylish yet still with that timeless Ferrari sense of purpose. The 456 GT is a connoisseur's Ferrari, a gentleman’s express, especially with three pedals, and when the time comes to re-offer this European example, a global left-hand drive market awaits.

Fabulous, UK-supplied, right-hand drive Dino GTS finished in rare Blu Dino Metallic with Classiche Certification.The new Dino 246GT was an absolute delight from all angles, its beauty, handling, engine note, mid-engined layout, unusually good all-round visibility and comparative affordability made it absolutely irresistible. The voluptuous bodywork, which many people regard as the prettiest ever to grace a road-going Ferrari, was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti and covered a tubular chassis which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The 190bhp engine, with four overhead camshafts, was mounted transversely behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. Power to the wheels was transmitted via drop gears to the transverse 5-speed gearbox, in unit with the differential and engine sump. With rack and pinion steering and a mid-engined configuration, it was a revelation in terms of road holding and stability, nothing had been made like this before and it left its larger V12-engined siblings in its wake.There was an addition to the range in 1972 when the Spider version was introduced. With the exception of the detachable roof there was little difference between the two models, but the 246GTS, as it was designated, has become all the more desirable as a collector's car, particularly as only 1,274 were produced in its three years of production.Presented here for auction at the National Ferrari Day in association with the Ferrari Owners Club Great Britain is a beautiful 1973 Dino GTS, chassis number 05880 delivered in March 1973 to GW Perfect, Bucks finished in Blu Dino Metallic with a Pelle Beige interior. The car presents beautifully and remains in its factory colours indicating just 24,277 miles on the speedometer at the time of cataloguing. Importantly, this example is supported by Ferrari Classiche Certificate confirming the matching numbers engine, correct colours and original unrepaired chassis. Offered directly from a significant car collection in Germany, chassis 05880 is accompanied by a history file which includes German registration papers and invoices for maintenance over the years including a full engine rebuild in April 2020 carried out by a highly regarded Ferrari specialist. Records indicate that this beautiful GTS remained in the ownership of GW Perfect from 1973 until 1989, selling to another UK owner before being exported to Germany in 2009. It's also accompanied by the desirable Classiche 'Red Book, the original Warranty Card, confirmation that the Perspex headlamp covers were fitted from new and the original Bill of Sale from Maranello Concessionaires dated 10/04/1973 for £5,998.52. There is also paperwork detailing comprehensive maintenance including professional inspections whilst the car was in GermanyCorrectly dry stored and enjoyed occasionally, this remarkably well-preserved Dino with low mileage and low ownership is presented to market in the UK, correctly imported on a temporary UK Customs Bond ready to be exported globally or re-registered here in the UK. In summary, this is a highly desirable, collector-grade, UK-supplied, right-hand drive Dino GTS with a Ferrari Classiche and finished in rarely seen Blu Dino Metallic which perfectly suits its glorious Pininfarina lines.

A rare Capri, just one owner from new, only 20,262 miles and on offer from a deceased estate.Towards the end of its life, the Ford Capri enjoyed an upswing in interest as more buyers realised that perhaps a front-wheel hot hatch simply wasn't for them, and a V6-engined, rear-wheel drive sporting hatchback might very well do the job. Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering group was entrusted with developing the Capri 2.8 Injection that made its debut at the 1981 Geneva Motor Show. Based at the Research and Engineering centre in Essex, SVE decided to adopt the 2.8-litre V6 with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection - the first regular model since the RS2600 to use fuel injection - plus lowered suspension, thicker anti-roll bars, gas-filled shock absorbers, and wide-rim alloy wheels fitted with Goodyear's 205/60VR NCT tyres. The specification also included a five-speed gearbox, a limited-slip differential (1984 onwards) and ventilated disc brakes for the front wheels. All this translates into a car that goes with 'wonderful eagerness', the Autocar test team enthused after rocketing from 0-60 mph to just 7.9 seconds. The Capri 2.8 Injection breathed new life into the range and kept the car in production two to three years longer than Ford had planned.In 1984, the 2.8 injection model was the subject of a substantial upgrade and was known as the Capri Injection Special. This development used Recaro half-leather seats and included a limited-slip differential. Externally the car could easily be distinguished by the seven-spoke RS wheels and its colour-coded grille and headlamp surround. Packed with performance and character, it paved the way for the superb Capri 280.Offered here is a remarkable example of these rare Capris as it has been owned by one owner from new. It was ordered from new in Rosso Red with a half cloth and Steel Grey leather interior, a very rare combination. Sadly, the owner passed away recently and the car is being offered by his family, having not used it or registered it in the family name since his recent passing.Clearly, the late owner was extremely proud of his special Capri and used it sparingly, more recently just attending the odd car show. At the time of cataloguing, the odometer was reading just 20,262 miles which, having purchased the car in 1986, works out at just 600 miles a year. Naturally, at this mileage and having been looked after by one respectful owner, this rare Ford remains in impressively original condition, remarkable and most likely unrepeatable.It's accompanied by the original bill of sale, books, manuals, service booklet and some original parts. Currently sitting on the original RS wheels there appears to be another set of road wheels included with the car and these will be available to inspect at the auction hall during the sale. Quite simply, we do not know when there will be an opportunity to buy an example of the breed like this again. Silverstone Auctions are storing the Capri for the late owner’s family prior to the sale and we encourage and welcome your earliest inspection.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: CAPRI INJECTION SPECIALYear: 1986Chassis Number: WF0CXXGAECFK45459Registration Number: D736 JKETransmission: ManualEngine Number: 00204TDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 20262 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Half Cloth / Steel Grey Leather Click here for more details and images
1973 Aston Martin Vantage Transmission: manualMileage:96842The arrival of the DBS signified a real revolution at Aston Martin in the late 1960s. British stylist William Towns, a then junior Aston Martin interior designer, penned a thoroughly modern GT design that has been celebrated ever since as one of the most elegant yet muscular shapes to emerge from the golden age of Sports GT motoring. The single-headlamp version of William Towns design was launched in 1972 and named 'Vantage' and retained the well proven, six-cylinder 3995cc Tadek Marek engine. With only 70 examples built, it is now one of the rarest post-war Aston Martin models and the purest of the 'single-headlamp' Towns design that was to pilot Aston Martin through to the end of the 1980s.This truly stunning example of the rare Aston Martin Vantage is presented in its original colour blue coachwork with contrasting blood red leather trim, all in lovely order. First registered on the 27th April 1973, this matching numbers example boasts the rare and desirable five-speed manual gearbox. Owned in the extended family since 1997, this car has had significant investment in a full nut and bolt restoration. The engine block initially benefited from Aston Martin works treatment before the rest of the car was completely deconstructed and then painstakingly restored and reassembled to create a truly wonderful and collectable example that would have cost far in excess of our estimates to complete. Part of a small family collection, our owner professes to not have the time to use the car enough, although he has always kept it in impeccable order. Having only covered four thousand miles since restoration, it would now be deserving of a new home at a fraction of the restoration costs.When you consider the scarcity of the early Vantage's, the excellent condition of this car, the specialist engineering work invested and the even rarer (and highly desirable) specification of this particular car, then this certainly is a collector's item of some stature and deserving of close
2006 MG ZT V8 260 Transmission: manualMileage:47552In 2001, three years after the launch of the Rover 75, and less than a year after the demerger of MG Rover from BMW, the MG ZT and MG ZT-T were launched. During the cars' development, the models were codenamed X10 and X11, for the saloon and estate versions, respectively. The basic shape and styling of the MG ZT remained the same as for the Rover 75 but with changes to the front bumper, now with an integrated grille, and detail alterations including colour coding of the chromed waistline, a new boot lid plinth, and different alloy wheels and tyres sizes. During the first few months of 2004, MG Rover facelifted the design of the ZT and ZT-T to a less retro look, at the same time as the Rover 75 received a facelift. This didn't feature much in the way of mechanical differences to the ZT, most changes were merely aesthetic. The main changes to the car included the replacement of the twin headlamps, with a new, clear single headlamp unit. Between 2003 and 2006 the top of the ZT range, and the rarest, was rear wheel drive and powered by the Ford 4601cc V8 engine giving 300bhp, 0-60 in 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 155mph.This rare, UK supplied, MG ZT 260 fitted with the Ford V8 engine and five speed manual gearbox was first registered in November 2006 and has only covered 47,500 miles from new. Finished in grey with black interior this MG ZT 260 is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in April 2023 and the original handbook pack. The British Bulldog is alive and kicking with this model and at that time was built to rival the BMW M3, with its rear wheel drive linked to a limited-slip differential. This much overlooked car is discreet on the outside, luxurious inside, but equipped with a heart of thunder.
1997 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon AMG Transmission: automaticMileage:41995The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon, short for Geländewagen (cross-country vehicle), is characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It uses three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. The G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz vehicles in their history with a span of 32 years. It was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979. The first major refinements were introduced in 1981, including an automatic transmission, air conditioning, an auxiliary fuel tank, protective headlamp grilles and a cable winch. Fuel injection became available in 1982 when the 230GE was introduced in Turin, along with more comfortable and supportive front seats, auxiliary heating, wider tyres, and wheel arches. For 1985, differential locks, central door locking, and a tachometer became standard.Originally registered on 29th September 1997, this long wheelbase, petrol engine, G-Wagon presents exceedingly well. Clearly a very well looked after example, the dark green coachwork is virtually unmarked, and the cream leather interior shows no significant signs of wear and is unblemished. We are advised she drives as good as she looks, and the engine certainly sounds great. This highly desirable Mercedes-Benz is fitted with the additional seats to the rear, making this a nine-seat version. Supplied with the original owner's manual and maintenance booklet, together with two sets of keys, previous service receipts, a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 21st February 2023, this utility vehicle is fitted with automatic transmission, side steps, towbar and still has the original phone handsets fitted. Offering versatility, reliability and prestige all in one, this G-Wagon is one of the best we have seen.

1983 Laverda Mirage 1200TSRegistration no. GVH 545YFrame no. LAV1200 3433Engine no. 3433Previously registered in South Africa, this lovely Laverda Mirage 1200TS was purchased by the current vendor from Peter Hawke Mazda of Huddersfield in 1990, the recorded mileage then being 8,877 kilometres (bill of sale on file). The Laverda was used regularly by the current owner until 1998 (at 11,158 kilometres) and then placed in a vacuum bag where it has remained for the last 24 years. Presented in very good condition throughout, the machine will require both safety and mechanical checks before returning to the road following nearly a quarter-century of storage. Additional documentation consists of a South African registration document; four expired MoTs from the 1990s; and an old-style V5 registration document. Although not currently attached, the TS model's distinctive engine shrouds and headlamp fairing are included in the sale together with a single key.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 biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of the late Alan Windsor 1914 Triumph 3½hpRegistration no. WY 4445Frame no. 255941Engine no. 36800 DTUThe first Triumph motorcycle of 1902 used a Belgian Minerva engine, but within a few years the Coventry firm - originally a bicycle manufacturer founded by German immigrants Siegfried Bettman and Maurice Schulte - was building its own power units. The famous 3½hp model first appeared in 1907. Originally of 453cc, its sidevalve engine was enlarged to 476cc in 1908 and finally to 499cc in 1910 before being superseded by the 4hp model in 1914. Alan Windsor purchased this restored 3½hp Triumph in March 1986 and has ridden it on the Pioneer Run more than once. Notable features include a Miller headlamp; P&H bulb horn; P&H tail lamp; and Bosch magneto. The engine's matching cylinder barrel is stamped '36800' and both crankcase halves are numbered '47'. The Triumph's entry card from the 76th Pioneer Run of 2015 is still in place, and the machine also comes with a Pioneer Certificate and two participant's certificates (1997 and 2014). Additional documentation includes an old-style logbook (issued 1953); a quantity of expired MoTs; an old V5; and old/current V5C Registration Certificates. There is also some photocopied historical/technical literature. Almost certainly not used since 2015, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before its next outing.

1909 Triumph 3½hpRegistration no. X 1631 (see text)Frame no. 139567Engine no. 9 3 09•Present family ownership for between 30 and 50 years•An older restoration•Started within the last year•Two-speed hub gearThe first Triumph motorcycle of 1902 used a Belgian Minerva engine, but within a few years the Coventry firm - originally a bicycle manufacturer founded by German immigrants Siegfried Bettman and Maurice Schulte - was building its own power units. The first of these - a 298cc single-cylinder sidevalve - arrived in 1904. This first engine was not without its weaknesses, pistons and bores wore out quickly and the curious 'tandem down-tube' frame in which it was installed broke, but these shortcomings were soon sorted and within a couple of years 'Triumph' was a byword for reliability. The famous 3.5hp model first appeared in 1907. Originally of 453cc, its 3½hp sidevalve engine was enlarged to 476cc in 1908 and finally to 499cc in 1910 before being superseded by the 4hp model in 1914. The company was involved in racing from its earliest days, and the publicity generated by competition successes - Jack Marshall won the 1908 Isle of Man TT's single-cylinder class for Triumph having finished second the previous year - greatly stimulated sales. By the outbreak of The Great War, the marque's reputation for quality and dependability was well-established, leading to substantial orders for 'Trusty Triumphs' for British and Allied forces. This belt-driven 3½hp Triumph has been owned by the vendor's family for between 30 and 50 years. Kept on display in a private museum, the machine has not been used for at least 20 years but has been started within the last year or so (the engine turns over). The Triumph has obviously been refurbished prior to the present ownership but nevertheless will require re-commissioning before further use. Notable features include a two-speed hub gear; Cowey 0-70mph speedometer; and an unusual large USA-made Rushmore 'Searchlight' acetylene headlamp with its own large-capacity generator. There is a second smaller generator on the opposite side, presumably to supply the rear lamp. There are no documents with this Lot and it should be noted that the registration 'X 1631' is not listed in the HPI database; accordingly, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding.

1930 Sunbeam 493cc Model 9Registration no. VR 6615Frame no. 7903Engine no. LL4445Sunbeam had begun experimenting with overhead valves on their factory racers in the early 1920s and these duly appeared on production models in 1924. The new 500 roadster was known as the Model 9 while its race bike counterpart, which could top 90mph, was accordingly designated the Model 90. The John Greenwood design was advanced for its day, with a specification that included a crankshaft supported by three ball-bearings, dry-sump lubrication and primary drive enclosed in a cast alloy chain case. Power was transmitted by single-row chain to a three-speed, 'cross-over drive' gearbox with offside power take off. This Vintage-era Model 9 has been owned by the vendor's family for between 30 and 50 years. Kept on display in a private museum, the machine has not run for at least 20 years and will re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road (the engine turns over). Notable features include original-style white rubbers on the kickstart and one pillion footrest, while the Bosch electrics (headlamp, magdyno, horn) are unusual. The only documentation consists of an old-type V5C and an attached tax disc that expired in 1951. The V5C records a 'D' prefix to the frame number, presently obscured.

1955 Sunbeam 489cc S7 De LuxeRegistration no. UMB 459Frame no. S7-7543Engine no. S8 13310Designed in wartime by Erling Poppe, the Sunbeam inline twin was introduced in 1947. A luxury tourer inspired by the pre-war BMW, it was of advanced specification with an overhead-camshaft engine, telescopic front fork, shaft drive, and plunger rear suspension, these last three features being shared with its German inspiration. The Sunbeam S7 was equipped with balloon tyres, a feature not carried over to the deliberately more conventional, and also lighter and cheaper, S8 introduced in March 1949. The front fork and 7' brake were now standard BSA components and there were numerous other changes made in the interests of rationalisation, many of which were incorporated into the S7 De Luxe that superseded the S7 later that same year. Affectionately referred to as 'Lucy', this S7 De Luxe was purchased by the current vendor circa 1974 and used for commuting to and from his place of work until 1979. The Sunbeam was last used in the late 1980s and has been kept in dry storage since then. The machine is an ideal candidate for sympathetic restoration or possible use 'as is' following re-commissioning. A quantity of spares is offered together with the machine and includes, headlamp rims, silencer, distributor, exhaust manifolds, rubbers, gaskets, paint, a maintenance and repair manual; a (distressed) copy of The Book of the Sunbeam S7 and S8; a V5C; a set of keys, various bills and technical literature from marque specialists Stewart Engineering.

1961 Triumph 649cc TR6R TrophyRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. D13591 (see text)Engine no. TR6R D13591 (see text)Success in the International Six Days' Trial (ISDT) in the late 1940s prompted Triumph to adopt the 'Trophy' name for their off-road-styled twins, at first for the 500cc TR5 and then for the 650cc TR6. Introduced for 1956, the 650cc Trophy featured the new aluminium-alloy cylinder head of the Tiger 110 sports roadster. Its off-road pretensions were more style than substance though, amounting to little more than the fitting of a smaller fuel tank, quickly detachable headlamp, and larger-section rear tyre. The Trophy retained its sporting character but became more of a roadster as time passed, ending up, in effect, as a single-carburettor T120 Bonneville when reintroduced, after a five-month absence from the range, in February 1961. More tractable than the Bonnie and more economical too, the Trophy gave little away in terms of outright performance, the bike's standing quarter-mile time and top speed being within a whisker of its twin-carb sibling's. This particular Trophy was acquired approximately 20 years ago in a dismantled state. The vendor then had it restored and reassembled. Kept on display in his office since completion, the machine will require re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use. It should also be noted that the near side grab handle has rusted through. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's frame and engine number stamps, correctness and originality prior to bidding.

Property of a deceased's estate 1992 Kawasaki BJ250A EstrellaRegistration no. J207 LTPFrame no. BJ250A000754Engine no. BJ250AE014458Kawasaki's W800 vertical twin is recognised as one of the most successful of current retros, but back in the early 1990s the Japanese factory came up with a delightful single every bit as convincing: the Estrella. Guaranteed to appeal to nostalgia buffs who didn't need the power (and disliked the weight) of larger models, the 250cc Estrella was launched in 1992, boasting a simple tubular steel frame, twin shock absorbers, 'right-way-up' front fork, separate headlamp, painted mudguards and wire-spoked wheels. Disc brakes were just about the only outwardly visible concessions to modernity. The engine too was a mix of old and new features, being a long-stroke, overhead-cam, two-valve design of unitary construction that incorporated a balancer shaft to dampen vibrations. Although immensely popular in Japan, the Estrella was not widely exported, the only country in Europe to receive substantial numbers being Germany. The model was never officially imported into the UK.One of only a tiny handful of Estrellas believed to be in this country, this example was imported from New Zealand and registered to the late owner in 2003. Unused for some time, the machine will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before further use. This beautiful modern classic is offered with a V5C document; two MoT certificates (most recent expired in 2013); and a substantial file of import paperwork and other documentation.

1998 Volvo 940 Celebration EstateMake: Volvo Model: 940 Celebration Estate Year: 1998Mileage: 150314VIN: YV1945811W1233117Configuration: Right Hand DriveRegistration: R790VKXTransmission: manualThis 1998 Volvo 940 is a Celebration model; a last?of?the?line edition built to mark the passing of Volvo's traditional rear?wheel drive big four?cylinder estates, as the marque switched to front?wheel drive.

1963 Alvis TD21 Series II 5 Speed Manual Make: AlvisModel: TD21 Series IIYear: 1963Mileage: 71614VIN: 26981Configuration: Right Hand DriveRegistration: 996KEATransmission: ManualThis example of Alvis' stately 2993cc TD21 was registered in June 1963, making it one of the last of the 'traditional' headlamp Alvises before the introduction of stacked twin headlamps on the TE21 - which proved a controversial if distinctive styling feature. As a Series II, it has all-wheel Dunlop disc brakes in place of the previous disc/drum combination along with door frames constructed of aluminium for lightness (and also panelled in the metal to alleviate problems with the wood used before). This car also has the five-speed manual ZF gearbox that was a feature of the later machines. Three former registered keepers are recorded on the V5C, with the car's odometer showing 76,164 miles. In its light blue metallic finish, the Alvis looks smart although there are some scratches, bubbles and micro-blistering apparent in places on the paint. Inside, the walnut veneer is well-preserved. There's some patina to the maroon leather and a tear in the front seat passenger hide; it all looks like it is the original upholstery that the car left the factory with. The car starts, runs, drives and stops well, and appears fully road-usable. The paperwork file includes the V5C plus maintenance diagrams, an Alvis catalogue of spare parts and the original instruction manual.
1984 Laverda Jota RGA, 981cc. Registration number B577 MDG. Frame number LAV 1000RGS/1 *2236* DGM 50736 OM. Engine number LAV 1000RGS *2236*.Moto Laverda, located between Vicenza and Venice, in the Dolomite foothills, launched the RGS 1000 at the 1981 Milan Show. It featured the new 120° crankshaft-throw 1000 cc three-cylinder motor which was developed by former Fabio Taglioni disciple, and MV Agusta employee, Giuseppe Bocchi. Bocchi did good work on the motor making it just as powerful, but smoother, as its iconic 180° predecessor, this time rubber mounting it in a development of the familiar loop frame. The RGS featured a unique integrated fuel tank with filler flap in the front of the Bayflex, rectangular headlamp, half-fairing. The dual seat's rear was covered by a removable hump. The 1984/1985 RGA was a mechanically similar, less expensive version without the unique RGS features. It carried a conventional fuel tank, no seat hump, and a bikini-style fairing surrounding a round headlamp. UK importers, Three Cross Motorcycles sold them for £3,575 instead of the £4,250 for the RGS.MDG was first registered in August 1984 and quickly passed through several hands until Stuart Moore of Bedford bought it in 1987, he sold it to our vendors father a month later. It suffered engine failure in 1989 at 29,789 KM and went to Slaters for a full rebuild, including crankshaft, camshafts and bearings. They did their typical wonderful job and the bike was in continuous service from then on until being laid up in 2006. By this time the MOT history records the mileage had increased to 131,878 KM, today it is recorded as 134,940 KM. It passed to his son, our vendor in 2016 and it has remained in the garage ever since.Sold with the V5C, V5, old MOT's, tax discs, Slaters invoice for £716.91 and several other 1989 invoices. This rare RGA will require recommissioning before use.

The Silver Wraith was the first post-war Rolls-Royce offered directly to the general public. Traditionally, their cars were offered as engine only/rolling chassis then delivered directly to a coach builder to receive the body of choice. They were larger than their sibling, the Bentley Mk. VI, and were equipped with independent front suspension and hydraulic shock absorbers, appealing to both owner-drivers and passengers alike.Originally delivered to Mr. Arthur Aman of Windlesham in Surrey by Brooklands of Bond Street in 1952, instructions included Silver Dawn headlamps and a wider, more imposing, bonnet. It was then absorbed as a company asset by Arthur Aman & Co. in 1954 followed by sale to Mr. Philip Rickards of Fulham, London in 1962. Mr. K. Hemmingway of Stanmore, Middlesex in 1965 became the last recorded owner on the enclosed period owners documentation. More recently, documents show that the car came from the US to a Mr. David Leppan of Phillimore Gardens, London who imported the car from Los Angeles to Felixstowe in 2010. All taxes and duties were paid at the time and part of the UK V5, and NOVA is enclosed. It was then sold to a noted German collector before finding its way back to the UK.Originally a black car with contrasting brown leather interior, it has since been painted in these two shades of a much more cheerful blue. New carpets have been installed, front and rear and, some time ago, a boot-mounted, air-conditioning system has been integrated into the superstructure and reported to be fully functioning. The aluminium exterior of the car is in excellent general condition with faults hard to find. The aluminium bumpers are also in excellent condition although the wing mirrors would benefit from some light attention along with the interior silvering of the offside headlamp. This imposing example has also just undertaken a mechanical overhaul alongside a major service and is reported to be running beautifully with a powerful, silent engine exhibiting good oil pressure and cool running at motorway speeds.A large diameter steering wheel allows for easy low-speed manoeuvring and new white wall tyres are fitted all round with chrome wheel centres recently purchased and fitted.The internal appointments are of equally good quality with period blue leather in good order throughout and just minor wear on the drivers bolster. There are walnut picnic tables, fold-out footrests, and foot-cushions for the rear occupants with door cappings and dashboard in excellent condition. Additional details include the original brass Pyrene fire-extinguisher, modern Alpine radio and a golden Spirit of Ecstasy.A very well-prepared and sporting Rolls-Royce, effortlessly able to keep up with modern traffic and with many miles ahead of her.
The Triumph Vitesse was introduced in May 1962, re-using a name previously used by the pre-Second World War Triumph Motor Company, and was an in-line six-cylinder performance version of the Triumph Herald small saloon. The Herald had been introduced on 22nd April 1959 and was an attractive two-door car styled by the Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti. Within two years, Triumph began to give thought to a sports saloon based on the Herald and using their six-cylinder engine. Michelotti was again approached for styling, and he came up with a car that used almost all body panels from the Herald, combined with a new front end with a slanted four-headlamp design.This elegant Vitesse shows only three owners since it was first registered in November 1964. Recently benefitting from a full respray, this Triumph now presents well in white with a contrasting red interior. We are informed that this Vitesse is a joy to drive and started on request. This hardtop version is offered for sale with a V5C registration document and without reserve. Some fun summertime driving awaits the successful bidder.
