A George III wall clock by William Johnson London, with silvered dial and single train fusee movement with Verge escapement and crown wheel. Dial diameter 29 cm (see illustration).The movement winds and is currently ticking away. The clock came in for sale from a local estate and was the property of an avid clock collector. It was purchased from G K Hadfield, approx 30 years ago and the movement was probably cleaned at that time. The silvered brass dial is showing some signs of discoloration. The movement and dial are not a marriage. The brass circumference and hinge would appear to be original. The lock and lock plate are probably original. However, the lock has been resoldered into position. The dial diameter is 11.5 ins. The mahogany case is in generally good condition and was probably polished around 30 years ago also. The movement appears to be all original. But we can only inspect it from the side door and have not removed it from the case. We cannot comment as to the timekeeping of the piece but, as stated, it came from a very good source.

Registration No: EFH 256M Frame No: 15944 MOT: ExemptUsed and very much enjoyed by the vendorMany upgrades during ownershipDescribed as a rider's machinePaperwork and V5C on fileLaverda had built their two-wheeled reputation on the production of high quality, lightweight machines supported by an active competition programme that resulted in successes in the long distance road races popular in Italy during the1950s. However, by the early 1960s the domestic Italian motorcycle market was starting to decline as the populace became more affluent acquiring small cars such as the Fiat 500 instead of lightweight motorcycles. Massimo Laverda, the son of the Laverda founder Francesco, recognised the need for the company to diversify into new markets and consequently pushed for the development of a new large capacity machine. The result made its debut at the 1966 Earls Court Show in November 1966. Displacing 653cc, the twin cylinder single overhead cam engine was clearly influenced by the contemporary Honda CB 72/77, and developed a claimed 55bhp housed in a steel tubular backbone chassis. The new model was quickly joined by a 750cc version typed the 750 GT, this was followed in 1969 by the 750S and in 1970 by the first of the SF series which adopted new drum brakes, the SF in the title standing for "super freno", 'super brake' in English, but otherwise was similar to the preceding machine, retaining its robust nature and excellent performance. This Laverda SF2 was imported to the UK in 1987. In the vendor's ownership, the machine has been the subject of an engine overhaul in 2000, with new pistons, rings, 5C sport camshaft and new valves. More recently, the Laverda underwent recommissioning in 2024, including fitting a pair of new Dellorto 36mm PHF carburettors, K&N air filter, fuel lines, Champion N2 plugs, refurbished speedo and tacho, a reupholstered single seat unit, new chain guards and DAM Racing Easy Clutch actuator. The ignition has also been upgraded to a Mott Witt system with the coil and also includes rare factory rear sets and clip-on handle bars, a stainless steel exhaust system, a powder coated frame, braided brake lines and an upgraded Brembo master brake cylinder. This Laverda has been described as in 'good working order and a rider's machine and certainly not a show queen'. MOT history shows that the bike has only covered 4,500 miles since 2006. It is being offered with a file of paperwork and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: SV 5998 Frame No: 39671 MOT: ExemptA well presented AJS E5Restored in 1996 and in good orderUsed on many VMCC events since completionA current V5C on fileAll four of the Stevens brothers had been in the motorcycle business since the final years of the 19th century, however, it was only in 1911 that their first “AJS” motorcycle, a 298cc machine, was made available to the public. Their first V-twin, the model D, debuted in 1912. In the 1914 Junior TT, a magnificent first and second place was scored. From 1925 onwards, prefixes were used, with the numbering system being H for 1927 and K for 1928. Introduced a few years earlier, the 500cc side-valve succeeded an AJS range that had consisted of only 350cc singles and 800cc V-twins. For 1928, no less than eleven models were catalogued, ranging from a 250cc side valve to a 799cc V-twin. This Vintage AJS E5 was restored in 1996, the restoration was of a high standard and it still presents in very good condition. Used continually since the restoration on many VMCC events including the Banbury Run in 2024 without any issues, we have been advised by the vendor that it is running very well. Offered with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: JGK 337T Frame No: 522988 MOT: 11-03-26Genuine UK supplied from new 'S' modelPeriod extras including a box section S/AMotad 4-into-1, supplied with a current V5CThe Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. An initial diversification into 4 wheeled transport was curtailed by WWII, but after the war Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 60s were second only to Honda in numbers of two-wheelers manufactured. Better known for their two-stroke Suzuki entered the four stroke market in 1977 with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with Japanese build quality and performance levels. A year later the full 1000cc version was launched, setting a new benchmark in the superbike division. In 1979 the 'S' version arrived sporting a nose cone fairing, 18" rear wheel and race inspired paintwork going on to dominate AMA superbike racing in the USA with riders such as Wes Cooley and Graeme Crosby. This UK-supplied GS1000SN, was bought by the vendor in 1991 and used by him on rallies and attending the TT until being dry stored in 2005. Brought out of hibernation this year, he has given the bike a good recommissioning and is now ready to be enjoyed by a new owner. A typical example of how owners in the '70s and '80s used to customise and modify their bikes, it is fitted with a Motad 4-into-1 exhaust, alloy front fork brace, box section swinging arm, rear set footrest, Hagon rear shocks and K+N style air filters. Now finished in British Racing Green it was originally Blue and White and comes supplied with a number of old MOTs, tax discs and a current V5C.

Registration No: PFE 807P Frame No: Z1F 094781 MOT: ExemptAuthentic restoration to period specificationBelieved imported from New Mexico, USA, a few years agoSupplied with many receipts and a V5CKawasaki Heavy Industries is one of the largest corporations in Japan producing a wide range of products from rolling stock to ships. After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Company they began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawasaki name in the early sixties, first continuing development of the K1 BSA A10 copy but soon moving on to build a reputation for high performance two-stroke twins and triples. In the early '70s, the four-stroke four-cylinder Z1 was initially developed as a 750cc to compete with the new Honda SOHC 750 but Kawasaki held the bike back until 1973 so it could be increased in capacity, setting a new benchmark for superbike performance. With its DOHC 900cc engine offering a top speed of over 130mph it easily became the fastest mass produced bike in the world This KZ900A4 looks to have been imported from the USA, and most likely manufactured in Kawasaki's Nebraska factory in Nebraska where bikes for the home market bikes were made, hence 'KZ' instead of 'Z' as in the UK. The A4 model was towards the end of the original 903cc bikes with wire wheels and the single disc front brake before it was bored out to 1000cc for the later models. A Dating Certificate from the Kawasaki Owner's Club suggests it was built in September 1975 and is presented in typical 1970s specification with a stainless-steel 4-into-1 exhaust, K+N style air filters and chromed engine covers, the sort of modifications most owners did to their bikes at the time. It is offered with many receipts, mainly from Z-Power, its original New Mexico US Title, a dating letter and a current V5C.Please Note :- The vendor carried out a top end overall a few years but had not run it since. On firing up just before sending to the auction, he noticed a leak at the cylinder head/cam chain tunnel area that will need attention.
