**SALEROOM NOTICE**It has been recently confirmed that pleasingly the engine is original to the car. The isetta retains its original 600 cc engine, that has been enhanced with 700 spec cylinders and pistons . The engine has not been swapped to a 700cc, as catalogued Rebuilt, personalised and fitted with a BMW 700 engine by Sir Stirling Moss. This is an exciting opportunity to own probably the most famous Isetta on the market today. The Italian-designed Isetta microcar was built under licence in a number of different countries, including Spain, Belgium, France, Brazil, Germany, and here in the United Kingdom. Produced in the post-World War II years, a time when cheap, short-distance transportation was most needed, it became one of the most successful and influential city cars ever created. Because of its egg shape and bubble-like windows, it became known as a "bubble car', a term later used to encompass a wide variety of similar vehicles.With space for two and their luggage, the Isetta was perfect for the UK's urban and rural roads and, in 1957, Isetta GB began producing the 300 model at their factory in Brighton under licence from BMW. The British cars were right-hand drive with the opening front door hinged from the right hand side of the car and the steering column moved across to the right as well. This meant that the driver and engine were on the same side, so a counterweight was added to the left side to compensate. Lucas electrics replaced the German Hella and Bosch components, a different headlamp housing was used and Girling brake components replaced the ATE brake parts. However, with only two seats, the Isetta's market, particularly in Germany, was limited and BMW felt that they needed something larger. Management had already committed to making an entirely new model - the 700 - and resources were limited, so the decision was made to create a lengthened Isetta for the time being until the 700 arrived in 1959. Deriving its name from the BMW R67 motorcycle-sourced 700cc 'boxer' engine, the four-wheel 600 looked just like other Isettas at the front but featured a new perimeter frame and the first ever use of semi-trailing arm suspension on a BMW motorcar. A second row of seats and a right-hand side door added space and usability. The resultant design, with some input from Michelotti apparently, was clean, well-presented, well constructed, and reasonably quick and, with a wheel at each corner, handled well. It was rather expensive, however, costing more than a new Beetle and consequently sold in limited numbers as customers awaited the arrival of the more conventionally-shaped 700 in late 1959.The stunningly presented BMW Isetta on offer here is indeed one of those 600 models and enjoys some remarkable provenance. It was delivered new to Sweden where it spent the first years of its life before arriving in the UK and subsequently being purchased by the late Sir Stirling Moss at a Beaulieu auction. It was in a rather sorry state and Sir Stirling set about a restoration with the help and assistance of his chosen Isetta specialist. Well known for his love of gadgets, innovation and experimentation (the majority of his road cars were tweaked and improved), Stirling decided that the 600 would benefit from a bit more power and, with his legendary charisma, talked BMW into parting with a 700 engine (an enlarged version of the flat-twin used in the R67 motorcycle offering 697cc and over 30bhp) which was duly slotted in to the little Isetta. There is a letter in the accompanying history file from Stirling to the next owner confirming he asked BMW to help him with the engine. When the rebuild was complete, Stirling used the car around London and his son, Elliot, learned how to drive in this very car as you can see in the accompanying photographs.Subsequently, BGC 408G was sold but it appears that it may have been lightly used and perhaps, poorly stored as, when it was acquired by our vendor around 10 years ago, it wasn't in the best of condition. As recently as ten years ago Sir Stirling Moss was still a household name and our vendor was determined to return this unique Isetta to its sparkling best so, not long after his purchase, he commenced a nut and bolt restoration having stripped the car back to bare metal. Naturally, during the initial restoration, Sir Stirling had specified his choice of exterior colour and trim along with a number of detailed modifications and our vendor was keen to recreate those in order to present the car as it was during Sir Stirling's ownership. The work was done ‘in house’ as the seller enjoys the resources and capability of his race team. The restoration finished in the summer of 2021 and we understand that over £30,000 has been invested over the years which we wouldn't doubt given the sheer quality of the result.Once the restoration was finished, the Isetta was included in the Sir Stirling Moss parade at the 2021 Goodwood Revival as a tribute to the great man and, in 2022, the car featured in an ITV television show called The Car Years in which it was selected to argue the case for the best city car in 1957 against a rival Fiat 500.All told, this is a rare and special car in its own right that’s had an enormous amount of money spent on it in order to get it to its current condition and, combined with the fact it was owned by Sir Stirling Moss OBE, one of the greatest Grand Prix drivers of all time, a world wide sporting personality and undoubtedly a true British icon, this is an exciting opportunity to own probably the most famous Isetta on the market today.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: ISETTAYear: 1957Chassis Number: 126922Registration Number: BGC 408GTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 142873Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: Blue/BlackClick here for more details and images

1965 Triumph Tiger 100, 500cc. Registration number HWE 6C. Frame number SH 40491. Engine number T100SS H 40491.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.HWE comes only with verbal history, bought new by the preceding owners father in 1965 it was fully restored some 10 years ago but rarely used so it was sold to our vendor in 2018. He had several bikes so rarely rode this one, only replacing the exhaust pipes during his tenure. It has now has mellowed nicely and rides well.Sold with the V5C.

Its first exemplar was the C10 sidevalve single with coil ignition and three-speed hand-change gearbox. A de luxe version with foot-change gearbox joined the range in 1939, as did the overhead-valve C11. The original girder front fork was replaced by a telescopic unit in mid 1946, and part way through 1949 the C10 gained an alloy cylinder head. This four-speed, plunger-framed C11G appears to be a relatively complete survivor, albeit missing some parts (silencer and headlamp lens/rim for example). Presented in 'oily rag' condition for re-commissioning or more extensive restoration, the machine is offered without documents and sold strictly as viewed. It should be noted the vehicle registration number '877 UYY' appears on the HPI database however, the machine is offered without documents.

Property of a deceased's estate 1941 Harley-Davidson 750cc WL ProjectRegistration no. 941 YNYFrame no. none visibleEngine no. 41WL3137It is known that this WL was purchased from Africa. It was restored by the previous owner in Wales, the colour being changed from yellow to white (not corrected on the V5C). The restorer first registered the machine in 1978 and is believed he rode it for a few months before selling it to the late owner in May 1980 (receipt on file). The late owner never rode the Harley, and for many years it sat in the front room until a house move 20 years ago saw it dismantled and stored. The vendor recently collected the Harley-Davidson and reassembled the bike, taking lots of photographs, but did not attempt to get it running. He did not even attempt to clean the bike during re-assembly, and describes it as in 'barn find' condition and highly original, having been off the road in dry storage for some 40 years. We are advised that the only component missing is the headlamp, which was replaced with a Lucas unit to get the bike MoT'd in 1979. This motorcycle will require careful re-commissioning/assembling before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Included in the sale are some reproduction catalogues and parts lists plus spares such as spark plugs and an original gasket set.

1906 Peugeot Frères 5hpRegistration no. JAS 793Frame no. 11559Engine no. 16943•Pioneer motorcycle from one of the European industry's founding manufacturers•Formerly part of the Ernst Wouters collection in Belgium•An older restorationOne of the pioneering firms of the French motorcycle industry, Peugeot followed the familiar progression, first adding proprietary clip-on engines to its bicycles before building complete machines of its own manufacture. The first Peugeot was manufactured in 1882; at this time the firm was known as Peugeot Frères, but as more family members joined, changed its name to Les Fils de Peugeot Frères. Dating from its manufacturer's 'Peugeot Frères' period, this 5hp Peugeot v-twin once formed part of the collection of Ernest Wouters. Wouters' was one of the finest collections of early motorcycles and bicycles in original, untouched condition and was housed in the Bicycle and Motorcycle Museum, 'La Petite Reine', situated at Falmignoul in the Belgian Ardennes. The collection comprised some 60 early motorcycles, including tricycles and forecars, and 300-or-so bicycles. Due to its founder's illness, the museum was liquidated circa 1985 and all exhibits sold to other collectors, including this Peugeot's previous owner, noted collector Brian Moore, who purchased the machine directly from the museum and restored it, sparing no effort to make this one of their finest restorations ever. The machine has the optional Truffault front fork and Bosch magneto, while another useful 'extra' is the NSU-patent two-speed epicyclic gear with crankshaft-mounted clutch, top gear being direct drive. The handlebars carry Bowden-type levers (that operate the two Garrier-type rear-wheel brakes) a beautiful twisted bulb horn and leather case for spare inner tube. Lighting is by Riemann self-contained acetylene headlamp, while the leather Brooks-type saddle bears the 'Peugeot Frères' logo. The machine was ridden in several rallies, including the Dutch Horsepower Run and other pre-1915 events on the Continent. The immediately preceding owner, a Peter Sanders of Putney, London, purchased the Peugeot at Bonhams' Olympia sale in December 2002 (Lot 233). Now offered from the collection of noted collector, the late Ken Senior, the machine has not been used for some time and would respond well to detailing and recommissioning or restoration to a greater or lesser extent. Accompanying documentation includes an expired MoT (2004); an old-style V5 registration document; starting/operating instructions; and a quantity of marque-related literature. A truly beautiful specimen of an early Pioneer motorcycle from one of the European industry's founding manufacturers.

Property of a deceased's estate 1930 AJS 350cc Model R6Registration no. SV 9897 Frame no. R6 107143 (see text)Engine no. R6/107143Despite the company's mounting financial difficulties, AJS introduced a comprehensively redesigned range for 1930, all models for this year being coded 'R'. This new line-up was notable for including models with fashionable 'sloper' engines for the first time, while all the overhead-valve types featured twin-port cylinder heads. The previous year's coloured tank panels having proved unpopular, the range reverted to its traditional black-and-gold livery for 1930. Advertised for sale in Old Bike Mart, this AJS R6 twin-port was purchased from Cotswold Classics in June 2004 (sales receipt and advertisement on file). Notable features include a Deluxe bulb horn and a Powell & Hanmer acetylene headlamp. A spare P&H headlamp and 'King of the Road' horn (lacking bulb) are included in the sale. Carrying a tax disc that expired on 31st May 2013, and not used for some time, the machine will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road, and thus is sold strictly as viewed. It should be noted that the frame number is believed to be a non-factory re-stamp; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves regarding this motorcycle's originality, completeness, and mechanical condition prior to bidding. The machine comes with a V5C document; expired MoT (2012); SORN paperwork; some colour photographs; handbook and parts list; and a copy of AJS of Wolverhampton by S J Mills.

1954 BSA 500cc 'B33' SpecialRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. CB31-392Engine no. X B34 280This BSA B33 Special is a mixture of parts from various models. Taken from a 500cc competition model, the crankcases date from 1947 and would have been topped by an iron cylinder head and barrel originally. (The additional number 'GS 53172' on the timing side is someone's addition and should be ignored.) The frame dates from 1954 and would have started life in either a B31 or B33. The engine's alloy top end is circa 1953-1955, as used on either the BB34 Gold Star or the B34 Competition Model (assuming it is 500cc). The headlamp nacelle is B31/33 circa 1954-1957 and the front wheel is B31/33 circa 1956-1957. Mudguards are after-market ones of no particular type, while the fuel tank is a swinging-arm Gold Star type. The carburettor is a post-1966 Amal Concentric.Little is known of this machine's history before it was rescued from a hedge by the vendor's husband. The chassis was restored by his friends in 2019-2020 but the engine and transmission were not (the engine has good compression). There are no registration documents or further paperwork with this Lot and it should be noted that the registration number 'DEN 142' does not correspond to this motorcycle and therefore will not come with it.Offered without keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:31026The motoring correspondent of The Times reported in May 1963 the Mini while a popular second car in many households was no longer strictly the fashion, the Grande Luxe Mini de Ville by Radford had taken over. On test in London, he reported, it attracted more attention than a Ferrari Berlinetta with its special colour scheme and trim, sliding sunroof, radiator grille with two more recessed lights, special sound insulation and electric windows. The car tested by The Times also had white leather upholstery and deep lambswool carpets, tachometer, ammeter, oil gauge, clock, headlamp flasher and water temperature gauge. Further extras were: a laminated wood steering wheel, automatic red caution lights on open doors, a reading light, cigar lighter, twin-speaker radio and an air blower to demist the rear window. After the 1967 Earls Court Motor Show The Times recorded that Captains of Industry ordered them, painted them to match their Rolls-Royces and gave them to their wives. Pop Stars and West End playboys presumably invested in them as a status symbols. The reporter tested 'a typical Mini de Ville', a 1275 Mini-Cooper S with an engine performance pack providing up to about 110 m.p.h. Outwardly the only distinction was the magnesium alloy wheels, sunroof and non-standard paint. Inside absolutely everything seemed like a refugee from a Rolls-Royce.This exceptional 1968 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. II has all the hallmarks of being a superb example built by Radford, but no records to prove this can be found. Purchased by a private collector in 2016 where it remained until now only covering 70 miles in this time, but still being fully maintained. The previous owner purchased the car around 2012 from a long-term owner who lived in Derby. Between his purchase and the car being sold in 2016 he sent it to marque specialists Paul Preston Classic Mini Restoration for repainting and restoring as necessary. Stripping the car down and removing the original paint, it was found that the body was sound and rust free, the coachbuilders work was to the highest 'Rolls-Royce' standards where the Mk. II body shell had been de-seemed and lead filled including the smoothed front panel. The car was repainted to the highest of standards in the original colour of maroon. Refitted the excellent bespoke cream and piped red, Connolly leather interior, the burr walnut dashboard with a full compliment of Smith gauges and felt roof lining, A and C pillar panels and Mota Lita wood rimmed steering wheel. Other Radford features include a Webasto folding sunroof and grill recessed Lucas spotlights. During this time the engine and gearbox were overhauled. This lovely Cooper S is supplied with a V5 registration document, the heritage certificate confirming that it is a matching numbers car and file with history.

The odometer displays 46,459 miles, and although this isn't warranted, it can be backed up to a large extent by the service history print-out from Central Garages in Brixham, Devon. This stretches back to 24,364 miles in July 2004. A print-out of the online MoT history back to 2006 also helps confirm the mileage. The current MoT is valid until November 2011. The Metro's spec includes a sunroof and central locking. The paperwork folder includes the V5C, Central Garages print-out, online MoT history print-out, current MoT certificate and a 2017 bill for £720 to repair the front bumper, headlamp and front wing. This damage resulted in a Category C Insurance Loss: Vehicle Extensively Damaged But Repairable - Insurer Decided Not To Repair in March 2017. There's also the book pack with owner's handbook, recommended lubricants list, quick guide, radio instructions with code, and a spare key (plus an old AA key).
