The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1936 Calthorpe 348cc Ivory ProjectRegistration no. CMN-68 (Isle of Man)Frame no. K3-1264Engine no. K4/1123Manufactured by the Minstrel & Rea Cycle Company of Birmingham, the first Calthorpe motorcycle appeared in 1909. In 1928 the first of the famous 'Ivory' Calthorpes appeared, so called because of its distinctive finish to fuel tank and mudguards. Two new Ivories were added for 1932: a 250cc two-stroke with Villiers-based engine (the Ivory Minor) and a 494cc version of the existing 350 overhead-valve model. The Minor lasted for little more than a season before the Calthorpe range was reduced to just the 494cc Ivory Major. The Minor was revived in 1934, but this time with a 250cc four-stroke engine, while the 350 returned for 1935 as the Ivory Junior. Owned for many years by a Mr Fred Wyeth and first registered in the Isle of Man in June 1984, this Ivory Calthorpe was acquired by Tony East in November 2010. A folder on file contains correspondence between Mr Wyeth and various other Calthorpe owners, as well as images of 'CYM 68' (its previous registration) as a complete machine and during restoration in (we think) the 1970s. The most substantial file of history also contains technical information, correspondence, photographs, spare parts lists, and instruction books (close inspection recommended). It would appear that some parts have been lost and others yet to be refitted. But those parts that are present are all very nicely restored.Footnotes:If purchased by a UK resident, this machine will be subject to a NOVA Declaration, which Bonhams will undertake at no cost to the buyer. This declaration facilitates the registration process with the DVLA in the UK.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
