Ca. 200-300 AD. A finely rendered gold disc-shaped pendant, hammered from thin gold with a suspension loop. This piece is fully wearable and it comes with a modern necklace cord. The sun stands for Sol Invictus (Latin for "Unconquered Sun"), a major divinity in Late Roman religion. Sol Invictus was a patron of soldiers and became part of the official state religion in AD 274 under Emperor Aurelian. The cult continued into the 5th century as St Augustine felt it necessary to preach against Sol to his Christian congregation. The connection between Sol and soldiers means that this item may well have belonged to a Roman legionary, who wore it in hope of protection during military campaigns.Size: L:18.6mm / W:16.1mm ; 2.94gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old British collection formed in the 1990s.

Ca. 100-300 AD. A gold ring formed of a round hoop with a carinated profile, which adds depth and dimension to the design. The shoulders of the ring gently expand to support an oval-shaped bezel cell, which is set with a stone intaglio with engraving that depicts a standing figure of God Mercury (Greek Hermes). In the image, Mercury is holding a money bag in his left hand, which is a symbol of his role as the god of commerce and financial gain, and in his right hand, he holds kerykeion, a staff with two serpents entwined around it, topped with a pair of wings and sometimes a globe.

He was also associated with travel and communication, and he was often portrayed wearing a winged hat and sandals. He was believed to be able to move freely between the world of the gods and the world of mortals, which made him an important figure in both mythology and religious practice.

T150V GG2491•Fully rebuilt 2013-2014•Extensively upgraded•Used for UK touring and CRMC paradingThis Trident has formed part of the Brailsford Racing Team collection for 10 years. The machine was totally stripped over the winter of 2013/2014 and rebuilt with no expense spared: all plated fittings have been either re-chromed or replaced; several parts have been made by hand and polished; and there are new stainless steel fixings throughout. The wheels have been stripped, new bearings fitted and the rear hub polished before being rebuilt with alloy rims and shod with new Avon tyres.As part of the complete rebuild all engine casings were vapour blasted and then refaced; the crankshaft reground; new valves, valve guides and springs fitted; and every oil seal and locking tab replaced, etc. In addition, a new Norman Hyde clutch plate and Norman Hyde special oil pump have been fitted, while the Rob North belt primary drive helps smooth the transmission and reduces maintenance. Apart from the crankshaft regrind, all engine work has been done by Neil Brailsford. The frame, fuel tank and side covers were repainted in the standard colour scheme, and the petrol tank hand-lined in gold. The front brake torque arms were made by Martin Brailsford and then polished, while several other cycle parts such as the original plastic seat catch pull knob have been replaced with handmade stainless steel items. Other notable features include an in-period Robinson 230mm double-sided four-leading-shoe front brake (vastly superior to the original conical item); polished rear conical hub; and Boyer electronic ignition. The rebuild was started on 23rd December 2013 and was completed on 28th February 2014.

DM900R*906006Engine no. 908815 DM860A landmark model that kept Ducati afloat during the 1980s, the Hailwood Replica owes its existence to Mike's legendary Isle of Man TT comeback victory in the 1978 Production Race riding an ex-works NCR bike entered and prepared by Manchester-based Ducati dealer, Sports Motor Cycles. Out of top-flight bike racing for seven years and away from the Island for eleven, Mike took on and beat the might of the Honda works team to win the Formula 1 TT at record speed. Ducati lost little time in capitalising on this outstanding success, launching the road-going Mike Hailwood Replica the following year. Previously resident in Switzerland and UK registered in April 2015, this Mike Hailwood Replica was purchased that same year from respected UK dealers Made in Italy Motorcycles (its restorers) and since then has formed part of a small private collection of important Italian motorcycles. Fitted with a top-half fairing only, rather than the standard race-style item, the machine has covered only some 400 miles since purchase and currently displays a total of 33,919 kilometres (approximately 21,000 miles) on the odometer. Last MoT'd until March 2016, the Ducati last ran approximately two years ago and will require recommissioning before further use. The machine is offered with the 2015 purchase receipt; a V5C document; the expired MoT; and a copy of its old Swiss Carte Grise.

1961 Ducati 250cc Mach 1 Racing MotorcycleFrame no. DM250*81617Engine no. B74 X S 57.8•Neil Brailsford's first racing motorcycle•Engine extensively modified•Paraded at CRMC eventsNeil Brailsford first built this Ducati in 1967 using a 1961 Mach 1 engine and frame, and raced it in Bemsee, KRC, Newmarket and 'Lord of Lydden' events from 1967 to 1976. Sold in '76, the bike went into the private collection of Bill Rose of Bemsee. The Ducati stayed there unused for many years and was eventually sold in 2008 and started racing again in Classic events. In 2018 Neil was able to buy back what was his original race bike. Jerry Fiford (former many-time Bemsee Champion) had owned and ridden the Ducati for many years and its thanks to him that Neil was able to buy it back again. The machine has not been rebuilt, but rather it is just how Neil raced it in 1967 with the exception of the high-level exhaust to meet modern noise regulations. The Ducati Mach 1 engine was modified from the old hairpin-type valve springs to coil springs. The inlet tract has been bored to accept the new 32mm Amal Concentric Mark 1 carburettor, now rubber mounted. Twin-plug ignition has been fitted also. The vendor advises us that the engine was fully rebuilt.The lubrication system has been modified to give external positive feed to the camshaft to prevent cam failure which can occur with the original system when racing. The alloy fuel tank is an original Vic Camp item from the 1960s. The front brake is a single-sided Ducati component, while at the rear there is a single-sided brake using the original Ducati hub. The exhaust system was ceramic coated in 2022.The Ducati has been paraded at various classic events including Donington Park, Cadwell Park, Snetterton, Mallory Park and Castle Combe. It was last used in 2021. offered with a CRMC Registration Certificate.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1968 BSA 650cc Spitfire Mark IVRegistration no. PKE 461FFrame no. A65 SB 7272Engine no. A65 SB 7272Offered from the enthusiast owner's large private collection, this stunning motorcycle is one of six BSA Spitfires restored by their owner, who currently retains three MkII and two MkIII models. According to the vendor, this example was restored in 2013 to perfection in every aspect with an 'as new' motor; the big-ends, timing-side bush and cylinder bores being new and standard. Indeed, every item on or in this machine has been carefully checked, refurbished or replaced. The frame, forks and fittings have been powder-coated professionally and numerous parts are brand new (e.g. all the chrome-plated parts). The oil tank has been sprayed black (no abrasive materials near it!) and the new Spitfire glassfibre tank has been custom made using special ethanol-proof material sourced from the USA. The Spitfire is also fitted with new Amal Concentric carburettors; new shock absorbers; and replacement Akront alloy wheels rims, and has a Popham-refurbished original Smiths Chronometric speedometer and rev counter: the former with only 3 miles on the odometer. Kept in the owner's dehumidified private museum, the machine is offered with a BSA OC dating certificate; V5C Registration Certificate; and a current MoT. The owner claims with justification that there is no finer Spitfire available for sale in the UK or elsewhere. Last run in March 2023, this outstanding machine is ready to go. Keys present.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
