The Clive Wood MBE Collection1951 Norton 490cc 500TRegistration no. unregisteredFrame no. F3T 40263Engine no. 40263 F3TA season of extensive modification and experimentation, begun during the winter of 1947/48 by the legendary McCandless brothers, designers of Norton's peerless 'Featherbed' racing frame, resulted in the first appearance late in 1948 of an entirely new trials model: the 500T. The shorter and lighter WD 16H frame was used for the newcomer, which featured an ingeniously modified lower fork yoke that reduced the wheelbase to a more manageable 53'. In its original, 'all-iron' engined form the 500T tipped the scales at 320lbs, while the subsequent adoption of an alloy cylinder head and (later) a Wellworthy alloy barrel brought that down to 300lbs. The 500T was announced as a 1949 model at the 1948 Motor Cycle Show, by which time a young Geoff Duke had already won that year's Allan Jefferies Trial riding a 350cc-engined prototype. Numerous other works and privateer competition successes throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s confirmed that Norton had produced a machine as good as, if not better than, any other rigid-framed trials iron.This Norton 500T previously belonged to a Mr John Fuller of North Yorkshire, as evidenced by invoices on file, and has belonged to the late owner since at least 1990 (see NOC dating letter). An older restoration, the Norton is offered for recommissioning and sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over). There is no registration document with this Lot.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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate1953 Sunbeam 487cc S8 Registration no. HTP 891Frame no. S8-6802Engine no. S8-340A wartime design by Erling Poppe, the Sunbeam inline twin was introduced by BSA, owners of Sunbeam Cycles Limited, in 1947. A luxury tourer inspired by the pre-war BMW, it was of advanced specification with overhead-camshaft engine, shaft drive and plunger rear suspension. The clutch housing and four-speed gearbox bolted directly to the back of the engine, which was rubber mounted in the duplex loop frame, an innovation that required a flexible joint in the exhaust system ahead of the silencer. The first S7 version was equipped with balloon tyres, a feature not carried over to the deliberately more conventional, and also lighter and cheaper, S8 introduced in 1949. The front fork and 7' brake were now standard BSA components and there were numerous other changes made in the interests of rationalisation. Never as popular as BSA's more performance orientated models, the gentlemanly S7 and S8 remained in production until 1957. Finished in an unusual colour for the model (perhaps RAF Blue?), this S8 is an older restoration offered for recommissioning (the engine turns over). It should be noted that the incorrect saddle is loose and that there is an unusual 12v generator to the front. The machine is offered with a V5C document, an original instruction manual.Offered with 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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate1951 Triumph 498cc 5T Speed Twin ProjectRegistration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. inaccessibleEngine no. 5T 4367 NAAlthough Edward Turner's Triumph Speed Twin caused a sensation when it appeared at the 1937 Motorcycle Show, few of its admirers can have guessed how influential the design would prove to be. And whereas previous vertical twins had suffered from excess bulk, Turner's was lighter and narrower across the crankcase than the contemporary single-cylinder Tiger 90, and from certain angles looked just like a twin-port single. Performance proved exemplary for a road-going 500, better than 100mph being attainable under favourable conditions. Boasting Triumph's newly introduced telescopic front fork and the Turner-designed sprung hub, this early post-war Speed Twin is missing its saddle and rear mudguard. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the Triumph comes with a 1951 logbook for the registration 'AEC 372' (not recorded in the DVLA/HPI database), which may assist the successful purchaser in retrieving the number and re-registering the machine.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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1931 Sunbeam 344cc Model 10 OHV Twin-portRegistration no. unregisteredFrame no. R1252Engine no. SS1238Sunbeam first adopted overhead-valve engines in the mid-1920s having established its not inconsiderable sporting credentials with sidevalve machines. Changes to the OHV engine were confined mainly to its top-end: early flat-tankers featured a straight-ahead exhaust port, then later in the 1920s the fashionable twin-port cylinder head became an option before Sunbeam standardised a single-port design in 1934. Pushrod enclosure had arrived by 1930 to be followed a couple of years later by partial enclosure of the rocker gear. Introduced in the autumn of 1930, the all-new Model 10 featured an OHV twin-port engine incorporating an in-sump oil reservoir; its conventional cycle parts were lighter than hitherto, and for the first time there was no fully enclosed chain case on a Sunbeam roadster. The Model 10 was a capable performer of exceptional frugality, over 100mpg being achievable. The late owner purchased this Sunbeam Model 10 at Bonhams' Harrogate sale in November 2012 (Lot 423, invoice on file). At the time it was described as follows: 'Restored to a high standard and kept in storage, this very rare Sunbeam remains in good order and should require only the minimum of recommissioning before returning to the road.' Today the machine is a nicely presented older restoration that requires recommissioning (the engine turns over and gears select). There is no registration document with this Lot.Key not requiredFootnotes: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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1960 Ducati 175cc Formula 3 Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. 415 RTFFrame no. 504Engine no. F504'As early as 1959... Ducati phased out its Gran Sport models in favour of the new Formula 3 series... the 175 (1959-61), the 125 (1959-61) and the 250 (1961-62). All three were pure-bred, hand-built racing motorcycles, built for Italian Formula 3 competition.' – Mick Walker, Ducati- The Racing Story. Although visibly similar to their road-going equivalents, the Formula 3 models were very different motorcycles featuring sand-cast crankcases and special engine internals, while the camshaft bevels and primary drive featured straight-cut gears. The gearbox was a four-speeder. Lower and lighter than the roadster versions, the frames featured a lowered steering head, shorter forks, and a shorter swinging arm. Brakes were upgraded to racing specification. Ducati quoted a maximum power output of 16bhp for the 175. Hand built in small numbers, the Formula 3 Ducatis were necessarily expensive; indeed, in the UK the 175 cost more than a 500cc Manx Norton! Understandably, production of these exotic Formula 3 models was limited, perhaps amounting to fewer than 100, making any genuine example extremely rare today.It should be noted that the registration '415 RTF' is not recorded in the HPI or DVLA databases; therefore this Ducati is offered unregistered and without documents. No history is known other than the fact that the deceased owner searched auto-jumbles to acquire parts to reassemble the machine. Recommissioning will be needed before it returns to the road (the engine turns over).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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Ex-Team Servisco; Fabbio Biliotti1987 Honda RS500 Grand Prix Racing MotorcycleFrame no. RS500RF-7102Engine no. RS500RE-7102•Raced by Italian privateer Fabbio Biliotti•In-period Grand Prix history•Offered with a set of original bodyworkFollowing the embarrassing debacle of the NR500, an oval-piston four-cylinder four-stroke that was supposed to bring Honda parity with the two-strokes then dominating Grand Prix racing's 500cc class, the Japanese firm swallowed its corporate pride and went down the stroker path for 1982. Rivals Yamaha and Suzuki had been running four-cylinder 500s for years, so it surprised the pundits when Honda's new contender turned out be a three-cylinder, and one with reed-valve induction rather than the disc valves favoured by everyone else. Although less powerful than the fours, the NS triple was lighter, more manoeuvrable, and possessed higher corner speed, so on some circuits could expect to have the advantage. As it happened, it wasn't that much slower at the top end either, a works rider Freddie Spencer's win (his first) at the fast Spa Francorchamps circuit demonstrated. Boasting an aluminium frame for 1983 (introduced mid-1982) the NS500 proved good enough to bring Spencer his first World Championship in the 500cc class. The factory ran an all-new V4 for Spencer in 1984, though many believe they should have stuck with the tried-and-tested triple, which by this time had been made available to customers as the RS500.Born in Arrezzo in Tuscany, Fabbio Biliotti first competed in the FIM World Championship in 1981 riding a Suzuki RG500. He continued to campaign the Suzuki in 1982 and 1983, before switching halfway through the '83 season to the alloy-framed Honda RS500. He continued competing as a privateer in 1984, his best result (and only points-scoring finish) being 9th place in Spain. In 1985 he rode for Team Italia on the second-generation RS500, switching in 1987 to the latest beam-frame version of the RS500 under the Team Servisco banner. He competed throughout 1987 and 1988 but scored only four points (in 1988). His last season of Grand Prix racing was 1989.The machine is offered finished in 'Freddie Spencer' colours (with tank signed by him) and comes with a set of Biliotti's Team Servisco bodywork.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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1986 Honda NS400RRegistration no. A4 NSRFrame no. NC19-2001807Engine no. NC19E-2002225Multi-cylinder two-stroke Grand Prix race replicas were much in vogue during the mid-1980s, as first Yamaha and then Suzuki sought to exploit their links with the racetrack. Honda too were players in this niche market but somewhat surprisingly chose to make their GP look-alike a 400 rather than a 500 like those of their rivals. Despite giving away 100cc, the NS400R looked every bit as convincing as Yamaha's RD500LC and Suzuki's RG500 Gamma and had the advantage of being both lighter and more compact than either. Introduced for 1985, the NS400R boasted a three-cylinder engine just like Freddie Spencer's 1982 World Championship-winning NS500 while being notable as Honda's largest two-stroke roadster and its first with an aluminium frame. The NS400R was one of the best-handling roadsters of its day, Bike magazine declaring: 'there are few machines that will make up time on the NS400 through a series of bends'. An instant classic, the NS400R is one of the most sought after of 1980s sports bikes. Nothing is known of the history of this NSR, which currently displays a believed-genuine total of 3,989 miles on the odometer. Recommissioning will be needed before the machine returns to the road (the engine turns over). Offered with a V5C and expired MOTs.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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
The Clive Wood MBE Collection1941 Indian 500cc 741 ScoutRegistration no. KEX 851Frame no. 74126939Engine no. GDA26939A smaller Indian v-twin, the 37ci (600cc) Scout, joined the 61ci (1,000cc) Powerplus in 1920. The newcomer soon gained a deserved reputation for durability: 'You can't wear out an Indian Scout' becoming its advertising slogan. Contributing to this longevity was the use of gears for the primary drive rather than the customary chain, and this unusual feature would endure until 1933. A 45ci (750cc) variant was first offered in 1927 and then in April 1928 the 101 Scout appeared featuring a revised 750cc 'flat head' engine in a new, longer-wheelbase frame. This sporting model would prove an immense success for Indian, so much so that its replacement in 1931 by a heavier Chief-framed model was greeted with dismay. Introduced in 1934, the Sport Scout went some way towards retrieving the Scout's reputation, featuring a lighter 'keystone' (open) frame and European-style girder forks. During WW2's early years the Scout was produced for Allied forces in 30.07ci (500cc) and 45ci military versions, designated Models 741 and 640 respectively, before the US Army switched to the ubiquitous Jeep. This 741 Scout was acquired by the late owner in October 1989 and carries a tax disc that expired in 1992. The machine is an older restoration offered for recommissioning (the engine turns over). Accompanying documentation consists of a few invoices, an expired MoT (1991) and an old V5.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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate2016 Ducati 1198cc Monster 1200 RRegistration no. MA16 ZGC (see text)Frame no. ZDMMA00AAGB000857Engine no. ZDM1198WP*001210• Present ownership since 2019• Service history and bills • 'SC Project' exhaust silencers fitted'Powerful and track focused, the Ducati Monster 1200 S is a true supernaked. The R model has 15bhp more than the S model and is 2kg lighter. It has improved handling due to uprated Öhlins suspension and improved ground clearance with a revised foot-peg position. For a large naked bike it's hugely impressive on track.' - Motor Cycle News.While its large-capacity sports models were grabbing the headlines by dominating the World Superbike Championship, it was the relatively humble Monster that was Ducati's real success story, selling worldwide by the container-load and thus ensuring the Italian company's survival. Designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and introduced in 1993, the Monster single-handedly kick-started the continuing revival of 'naked' motorcycles. The Monster in its many forms remains a cornerstone of the Ducati range to this day.One of the later, water-cooled, eight-valve versions, this Monster 1200 R was acquired by the current vendor's late brother in 2019. First registered in the UK, the Ducati was exported to Guernsey in 2019 and comes with a Guernsey Registration Certificate for '4969'. Well serviced and pampered, the machine has been dry stored and ridden regularly by the late owner. Currently displaying a total of only 4,344 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloguing/photography. The machine was last running in September 2023, and there is a walk-around video of the machine running which can be found on the Bonhams website. As one would expect of a pampered example, this Ducati Monster comes complete with its original Ducati black leather wallet containing the owner's manual, roadside assistance book and stamped service booklet. Other paperwork includes the 2019 'used car' sales agreement; sundry invoices/bills; and some Ducati Monster brochures. SC Project exhaust silencers are currently fitted and the machine comes with the original silencer (used), frame plugs and a bike cover.It should be noted that Vehicle Registration Number 'MA16 ZGC' features a 2019 'Export' marker to the HPI/DVLA database. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to the validity of the motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding and will need to apply to the DVLA to retrieve the Vehicle Registration Number.
