Reg. no. YO 7089Frame no. 590689Engine no. 3599In 1925 at the Olympia Motorcycle Show, Royal Enfield released the new big twin in seven models, solo and combinations. The model 180 was the tourer and the 182 was the sport model, both were 9.76hp and apart from some small ancillary changes, both bikes had the same specifications. The difference was in the sidecar, the 182 had a polished aluminium bodied sidecar that was 26lbs lighter than the 180s touring sidecar.This lovely, mostly unrestored vintage combination was left to the present owner by his grandfather who was a very keen motorcyclist and kept several very interesting bikes. All his bikes were kept in mechanically good, unrestored condition as he preferred spending any spare time he had out riding them and using this bike to raise money for the local museum. The bike has, at some time in the past, had the fuel tank repainted. This combination has not been used for some time and we have not tried to start it, but the engine is free and turns over with good compression. The side car was dismantled for storage but can be seen fitted to the bike in the photos contained in the file.Comes with – a current V5C, an old V5, two old buff logbooks from 1931 and 1937 and a large file with a lot of information about the bike.

Reg. no. UXS 116Frame no. 22671Engine no. 29149This model was a popular addition to the Levis A2 range and the factory guaranteed that the same rigid tests would be carried out on this model as with all their other bikes. What’s more, each bike would be capable of 70mph in standard form or if the customer wanted, they would, without charge, fit a high compression piston, high lift cams and a lighter flywheel allowing the bike to achieve 75 to 78mph and faster acceleration. The 350 A2 Popular was manufactured for one year only.This Levis A2 was dispatched from the factory to S Woods & Manders of Dublin in 1932. Purchased as a ‘barn find’ many years later, it was fully restored to its original specification and has been in long term ownership ever since. The bike has not been used since the end of 2021, so may require some recommissioning prior to use.Comes with – a current V5C and a VMCC dating document.

GEORGE MCCLELLAN (1826 - 1885) Union major general and general-in-chief of the army whose hesitation in attacking Confederate forces caused him to be sacked by Lincoln. War-date A.L.S. signed at conclusion and writing 'McClellan' twice more in the text, written on his blind-embossed letterhead, 3pp. 8vo., Apr. 25, 1864 to a lady.

He writes, in part: '...it was quite impossible for me to reply to [your letter]...Mrs. McClellan and I have felt [?] unwell that writing has been out of the question...You are quite mistaken in supposing that your note would be a 'bore' to me - on the contrary if afforded me much pleasure, for there is much satisfaction in having that in the days of adversity. I have retained the kind feelings which originated[?] in lighter times. I prize very highly your esteem & hope that I shall profit from it. You will find with this the photograph you desire...I also enclose...the autograph letter of Mr. Bates which arrived too late for the [Sanitary] Fair. Mrs. McClellan...[is confined] to her bed...from our exertion at the Fair...' Very nicely signed, in very good condition.
