Music and dance, 1817-1843i. John Sale (1758-1827), secretary of the Catch Club; letter to Terrail, unanimously elected a member of the club; 30 Arundel Street, to 28 January 1817The Noblemen and Gentlemen’s Catch Club was established in 1761, and met at the Thatched House Tavern in St James’s Street. John Sale served as secretary between 1812 and 1827. A history of the Club, still in existence, by Viscount Gladstone, Guy Boas and Harald Christopherson, was published in 1996. For John Sale, singer and conductor, see ODNB. For a reminiscence of Terrail, a counter-tenor, see The Musical Times and Singing Class Circular4 (1852) 208.ii. Catherine [Kitty] Stephens (1794-1882), singer and actress; letter to Mr Moore, requesting one of his men to bring ‘one pair of the very thin silk stockings’; Friday, c1820With a cut-down engraving [by Cooke, from a painting in the possession of Thomas Walsh], of Miss Stephens [in the role of Diana Vernon in Rob Roy MacGregor; published by Simpkin and Marshall, stationers, 1820]Daughter of a London carver and gilder, her opera career lasted from 1812 until 1838, when she married the octogenarian Earl of Essex. Following his death the following year she continued to live at 9 Belgrave Square until her own death in 1882. A testament to her reputation was her reception at court by Queen Victoria, who recorded in her journal that Lord Essex had been ‘excessively pleased’ by her ‘having called up Lady Essex … at the Ball and having spoken to her’.The addressee is perhaps Joseph Moore (1766-1851), entrepreneur and promoter of musical and choral festivals at Birmingham, Malvern and York (ODNB).iii. Cipriani Hambley Potter (1792–1871), composer and pianist, 30 York Buildings; letter to W[illiam] Watts, esquire, 45 Cirencester Place, Fitzroy Square; has Watts succeeded with the directors respecting the two additional rehearsal tickets? 20 May 1828Potter was one of the leading composers and pianists of the 1820s and 1830s. At the end of 1817 he left England to study composition abroad. His first destination was Vienna, where he met Beethoven, who commented favourably on him in a letter of 5 March 1818. He taught at the Royal Academy of Music, the establishment of which was proposed at a meeting at the Thatched House Tavern in 1822; he became principal of the College in 1832.William Watts, a violinist, was secretary of the Philharmonic Society between 1815 and 1847.iv. Maria (signs Marietta) Malibran (1808-1836), mezzo-soprano; letter. La tua buona amica, to Monsieur le Chevalier Ferdinando Paër; undated, 1830sRequests something for La sorella di Minette, who deserves reward being charged with a familyMalibran was born in Paris as María Felicitas García Sitches into a famous Spanish musical family. Her mother was Joaquina Sitches, an actress and operatic singer. Her father Manuel García was a celebrated tenor much admired by Rossini, having created the role of Count Almaviva in his The Barber of Seville. At the age of eight she appeared on stage at Naples with her father in Ferdinando Paër’s Agnese. She made her début at the Paris Opéra in 1828. Triumphs followed in London (Covent Garden début 1833), Naples, Rome, Bologna, Venice, Lucca, and Milan (La Scala début 1834). In 1836 married the Belgian violinist Charles de Bériot with whom she had lived since 1830. Malibran moved to England in 1834 and began to perform in London and the continent. In April 1836 she fell from horse in London, while pregnant, her injuries leading to her death in September, when she collapsed after singing a duet at a Manchester festival.Ferdinando Paer (1771-1839) was an Italian composer known for his operas. In 1812, he became conductor of the Opéra-Italien in Paris. He retained this post after theRestoration while accepting those of chamber composer to the king and conductor of the private orchestra of the Duke of Orléans. In 1823, he retired from the Opéra-Italien and was succeeded by Rossini.v. Marie Taglioni (1804-1884), ballet dancer; letter to Monsieur Dupouchet; requests a box and some tickets for this evening; Monday, c1840With a lithograph of a portrait of Taglioni by François Séraphin Delpech (1778-1825); [Paris, 1832]Born in Sweden, Taglioni was one of the most celebrated dancers of the romantic ballet, which was cultivated primarily at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London and at the Théâtre de l’Académie Royale de Musique of the Paris Opera Ballet. She is credited with (though not confirmed as) being the first ballerina to truly dance en pointe. It was in Russia after her last performance in the country (1842) and at the height of the ‘cult of the ballerina’, that a pair of her pointe shoes were sold for two hundred roubles, reportedly to be cooked, served with a sauce and eaten by a group of balletomanes.vi. Joseph Alfred Novello (1810-1896), music publisher; letter to Joshua French, Gentleman of Her Majesty’s Chapels Royal, Windsor; 69 Dean Street Place, 3 May 1843Thanks to his note they put off their visit to Windsor, as well on account of the rain; encloses a letter of Rossini [not present] ‘whose letters are scarce as he generally write [sic] by his secretary’; many thanks for the facsimilesThe letter was written as Novello embarked on a project to publish cheap music for the mass singing-class movement, enthusiastically supported by those concerned with working-class morality in an age of political and industrial radicalism. In 1842 he published Joseph Mainzer's sight-singing manual Singing for the Million and the weekly Mainzer's Musical Times and Singing-Class Circular.

1958 Norton 596cc Dominator 99Registration no. 240 UXCFrame no. N14 76441Engine no. 76441 N14Introduced for 1956, the 596cc Dominator 99 was outwardly identical to the existing Dominator 88. Endowed with greater power and higher gearing enabling it to top the magic 'ton', the 99 nevertheless retained all the excellent handling and steering characteristics associated with the Featherbed chassis. One of the Rockers' favourites, the 99 remained essentially unchanged, apart from gaining alternator/coil-ignition electrics for 1958, until dropped in 1962.This example of one of the post-war era's most capable and sought after road-burners was purchased by the current vendor a few years ago and has not been used since therefore will need recommissioning before returning to the road. It has been dry stored at the vendors garage although little history is known of its prior ownership. Displaying a mileage of 2,188 since restoration, it is accompanied by a current V5C, invoices and a Norton Maintenance Manual.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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1983 Honda CX650 TurboRegistration no. JBW 823YFrame no. RC16-2000218Engine no. RC16E-2001138• Imported from Italy• Amazing 'time-warp' condition• Only 6,177 kilometres recorded• New Bosch fuel pump'...the CX500T has all the good points of the 500T: the fairing and comfort, shaft drive and mega pose value for those who think biggest and flashiest is best. And whereas the 500 fell flat on its face when it came to performance, the 650 has little turbo lag, the ability to cruise all day at well over the ton, and most of all this amazing zappo when you hit the throttle hard.' – Bike magazine. Once Honda had bolted a turbocharger to one of the most unlikely models in its range - the CX500 v-twin - the rest of the Japanese 'Big Four' followed suit, their larger, four-cylinder offerings leaving the CX500 trailing far behind in the performance stakes. Honda's riposte was the 673cc CX650 Turbo, which arrived in 1983. Bike magazine found that, compared to the CX500, turbo lag had been almost eliminated, and clearly appreciated the bigger CX's ability to sustain an indicated 135mph while the rider sat in perfect ease behind the effective fairing. Fuel consumption varied from 25mpg (speed testing) to an impressive 45mpg if less use was made of the 18psi maximum boost available. One of the nicest example we have ever seen, this rare Honda CX650 Turbo was purchased in 2021 from The Bike Specialists, Sheffield for a considerable sum (the CX650 Turbo was the vendor's 'pin-up bike' when he was young). The Honda had been imported from Italy by the previous owner in 2017 (see documents on file relating to its purchase from Italy and the registration process together with a photocopied Italian title). Additional documentation includes a current V5C, DVLA MoT history, HPI check and (copy) previous V5C. The machine also comes with with two keys, tool kit, owner's manual and photocopied set-up instructions.Dissatisfied with how the machine ran, the vendor had the fuel pump replaced twice before settling on a new Bosch unit, which was fitted by Colwins Motorcycles of Sittingbourne. They employed a mechanic, trained in the 1980s on Hondas, who correctly installed the fuel pump at the same time as the current MoT certificate was issued in 2023 (receipts lost unfortunately). Recommissioned by the current owner, the Honda has seen little use since purchase; it starts and idles smoothly but may require further light recommissioning following a period of inactivity. The odometer reading of 6,177 kilometres is not warranted but appears to be genuine. Viewing of this incredible 'time-warp' CX650 Turbo is highly recommended.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

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1961 Greeves 249cc 25DC Sports TwinRegistration no. 534 CBWFrame no. 61/1734 (see text)Engine no. 237D 10620Greeves' unorthodox trademarks of a cast beam 'down-tube' and rubber-in-torsion leading-link fork proved adaptable to almost all forms of motorcycle from humble commuter to clubman's road-racer, but it was the firm's off-road products which really put it on the map, generating valuable publicity that helped sell the roadsters. Greeves first twin-cylinder roadsters of the mid-1950s used the Anzani engine and it was not until 1957 that the first Villiers-engined twin - the 25D Fleetwing – appeared, powered by the four-speed Villiers 249cc 2T engine. For 1959 the 25D was renamed Sports Twin, its designation changing to 25DB. It cost £199 15s, with the scrambles models' 'paddle fin' hubs an optional extra at £4 10s. For 1961 the 250 and 350 roadster twins were updated with a new scrambler-based frame with the one-piece rear sub-frame, becoming the 25DC and 32DC respectively.First registered June 1961 and acquired by Tony East in May 2002, this Greeves Sports Twin is presented in fully restored condition and currently displays a total of 1,258 miles on the odometer. The machine was last taxed in May 2006. Accompanying documentation includes a (copy) old-style continuation logbook (issued 1972); a Norton Villiers engines maintenance manual; BMS workshop manual; SORN paperwork; expired MoT (2005); and old/current V5Cs. One key present. It should be noted that the frame started life in a 24TDS Scottish trials model.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.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1956 Norton 596cc Dominator 99Registration no. MAN-99-N (Isle of Man)Frame no. L14 67735Engine no. 67735 L14Introduced for 1956, the 596cc Dominator 99 was outwardly identical to the existing Dominator 88. Endowed with greater power and higher gearing enabling it to top the magic 'ton', the 99 nevertheless retained all the excellent handling and steering characteristics associated with the Featherbed chassis. One of the Rockers' favourites, the 99 remained essentially unchanged, apart from gaining alternator/coil-ignition electrics for 1958, until dropped in 1962. The accompanying Norton Owners Club letter states that this motorcycle was dispatched from the factory on 15th February 1956 and first owned by a Mr Marshall of Green Bank, Northwich, Cheshire, while the old-style continuation logbook (issued 1962) records the machine as still being in the Cheshire area in the 1970s. Originally registered in the UK as 'XTE 682', this Dominator 99 was first registered in the Isle of Man in October 1996 and to Tony East in October 1997, the previous owner being Mr Douglas Davidson of Union Mills. Restored throughout and very nicely presented, the machine is offered with; old/current Isle of Man registration documents; a BMS photocopy workshop manual; and numerous invoices totalling £9,052 relating to its restoration by Bryan Small. The Norton was last taxed to 31st January 2011 and the current odometer reading is 2,638 miles.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.

Property of a deceased's estate1929 Harley-Davidson 45ci Model DRegistration no. BF 8437Frame no. 29D6777 (on plate)Engine no. 29D6777• Iconic Harley-Davidson model• Acquired in 2018• Corbin speedometerAlthough Harley-Davidson was no stranger to sidevalve ('flat head') engines, it did not apply this valve gear arrangement to a v-twin until the arrival of the all-new 45ci 'D' (standard) and 'DL' (high-compression) models in 1929. With the introduction of the Powerplus model in 1916, rivals Indian had demonstrated that a properly designed 'flat head' could produce all the power a road rider required, so it is perhaps surprising that Harley took so long to follow suit. One of the other advantages of this new engine was that it was cheaper to produce, enabling Harley to price the new 45ci (750cc) Model D at $290, and the 45's relative affordability would prove to be an important factor during the Depression years of the early 1930s. Production of the 45 really took off when the USA's entry into WW2 in December 1941 created an unprecedented demand for military motorcycles; around 90,000 of the WL (military) version rolling off the Milwaukee production lines before hostilities ceased. 'De-mobbed' Harley 45s helped meet the upsurge in demand for motorcycles in the immediate post-war years, doing much to establish the marque's reputation worldwide, while the civilian version remained a catalogued model until the end of 1951. This Vintage-era Model D was acquired by the current vendor's late father in 2018. A self-employed gas turbine engineer. Motorcycles were his passion and had been from a young age. He loved the look of this Model D, so much so, it stood proudly in the hallway. This Harley previously belonged to a Mr Nicholas Julian Moss of Berkshire. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent and thus is sold strictly as viewed. The machine features a Corbin speedometer and comes with a small selection of spares to include a pair of pillion footrests, rear numberplate/light bracket, and assorted electrical wiring. Accompanying documents include a current V5C; Harley-Davidson spare parts manual and Rider's Hand Book; and a folder containing various invoices/bills, including for repair of the gearbox in 2019.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

Its most popular model in the UK post-WW2 was the Quickly moped, a 49cc single-cylinder two-stroke equipped with two-speed transmission operated via a handlebar-mounted twist grip. Introduced in 1953, the Quickly achieved sales of over one million worldwide before production ended in the late 1960s, by which time it has spawned a plethora of more luxurious and sporting variants. First registered in the Isle of Man in 2015, this Quickly is offered with its last IoM registration document (issued November 2019, not in Tony's name). An average restoration and hand-painted, the machine also comes with orders/invoices for parts; an original NSU Quickly handbook and maintenance manual; (copy) spare parts list; The Book of the NSU Quickly; and a folder of photocopied literature.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.

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1956 Triumph 149cc TerrierRegistration no. SVC 665Frame no. T22005TEngine no. T15 22005In 1952 Triumph re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines with the introduction of the 149cc Terrier, which stood out from the predominantly two-stroke opposition by virtue of being a four-stroke like the firm's larger models. A simple, compact, unitary construction single incorporating a four-speed gearbox, the Terrier power unit went into a plunger-suspended frame while the model borrowed many styling cues from the bigger Triumphs. Deliveries commenced in August 1953. In 1954 the Terrier was joined by an enlarged version - the 200cc Tiger Cub - and continued in production alongside its bigger brother until August 1956. This Terrier comes with its original buff logbook showing that it was first registered to Motor Sales (Birmingham) on 10th August 1956. The first three owners were all residents of Coventry, while the last listed is a Mr Stuart Kapes of Nuneaton (change undated). Purchased by Tony East in November 1996 and fully restored for him by Bryan Small, the Terrier was a class winner at the Louis Vuitton Concours in 2002 and comes with a 'Louis Vuitton Classic Concours' trophy and sign. The machine also comes with an old-style V5C; an original parts catalogue and instruction manual; and a quantity of bills totalling £5,088 relating to its restoration by Bryan Small. Last taxed to 30th April 2003, the Terrier currently displays a total of 25 miles on the odometer.

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1959 Norton 348cc Model 50Registration no. 545 KPDFrame no. P13 81793Engine no. 81793 P13Introduced in 1933, the single-cylinder Model 50 was Norton's first production overhead-valve machine in the 350 class; the 50 and its twin-port brother the 55 being junior versions of the 490cc Models 18 and 20 respectively. The new 350s were fitted with the four-speed Sturmey Archer gearbox that was adopted for all ohv Nortons that year. A hand gear-change was standard, with foot change an optional extra. The Sturmey Archer 'box, though, was destined for a relatively short life, being replaced by Norton's own four-speed foot-change unit for 1935. Norton's sporting 350 single was built in several versions and continuously developed during a production run lasting until 1963, post-war innovations including the adoption of the AMC gearbox in 1956 and a switch to superior alternator electrics and the peerless 'Featherbed' frame for 1959. Purchased by Tony East from a Mr Dobbs of Guildford in February 1991, this 'Featherbed' Model 50 was fully restored for Tony by Bryan Small, and after completion featured in The Classic MotorCycle magazine's November 1992 edition (framed display board available). The machine also comes with old/current V5C documents; three original maintenance manuals; a BMS photocopy workshop manual; Bryan Small's restoration invoice totalling £5,767; and a quantity of MoTs issued between August 1986 at 26,712 miles and May 2002 at 27,656 miles, an increase of only 944 miles in 16 years (current mileage 27,811 miles).

East Classic Motorcycle Collection1954 IFA BK 350Registration no. not registeredFrame no. 850823Engine no. 1600820When motorcycle production recommenced at DKW's Zschopau works in 1946, the now East German state-owned factory badged its DKW RT125-based machines as 'IFA'. IFA's first all-new, post-war design, the BK 350, arrived in 1952 and would be badged as an 'MZ' when Motorradwerk Zschopau (Zschopau Motorcycle Works) adopted that name a few years later. The BK (the initials stand for 'Boxer Kardan' - flat twin, shaft drive) was a piston-ported two-stroke that produced 15bhp (17bhp from 1956) and was good for a top speed of 71mph (75mph). A duplex cradle frame, telescopic front fork, plunger rear suspension and generously sized brakes made up the cycle parts. Although the company produced an English-language brochure for the BK 350, it seems unlikely that more than a handful of machines was sold in the UK. Production of this technically interesting and most unusual motorcycle ceased in 1959.This IFA has been restored throughout but it is not known whether it has been run since completion. A letter on file states 'all parts are original including the saddle, tank, rims, and exhaust pipe even the number plate should be original'. Other documentation includes the following: photocopied sales literature and manufacturer history; photocopied parts catalogue; photocopied instruction manual and parts list; German Fahrzeugbrief dating from 1981; and a quantity of photographs of the machine pre-restoration, one of them annotated 'one of the 32 prototype motorcycles number 23 of the original type plate'.

BA10 15490Previously registered as 'RSY 233' on the UK mainland (see MoTs on file), this BSA Golden Flash was first registered in the Isle of Man in September 2001. The machine was purchased in the Isle of Man in 2008 and came with a single-seater Watsonian sports sidecar attached. Both were in poor condition. The sidecar was removed and sold, and the BSA fully restored to 'as new' condition, with particular attention paid to obtaining the correct paint colour – something less fastidious restorers often get wrong. In 2014 Tony's BSA Golden Flash featured in The Classic MotorCycle's November edition, described as a local bike once belonging to the late Tony Cook, who used it as a combination. To quote Tony East: 'It is a sweet, strong engine, I haven't done much to it'. Accompanying documentation includes an IoM Vehicle Registration Certificate (see below), some old MoTs, and numerous bills relating to restoration works carried out circa 1997. An original BSA sales brochure, instruction manual and service sheets are included in the sale. It should be noted that the frame number is incorrectly recorded as 'BA75.19685' in the IoM registration document.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.

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1952 Moto Guzzi 192cc GallettoRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. obscuredEngine no. obscuredLike Velocette's LE, Moto Guzzi's Galletto (cockerel) was intended to offer scooter-type weather protection and comfort allied to the superior handling qualities of a true motorcycle. But whereas Velocette started afresh when designing the LE's engine, Guzzi kept with tradition, specifying an overhead-valve, air-cooled 'flat single' with outside flywheel. The Galletto cycle parts consisted of a tubular steel spine frame combined with sheet metal pressings, complemented by a leading-link front fork and single-sided rear swinging arm. In scooter fashion the Galletto came with a spare wheel, all three wheels being interchangeable. Launched in March 1950 in 160cc/three-speed form, the Galletto was upgraded to 175cc and four speeds in 1952, and then to 192cc in 1954. In this form the Galletto was last produced in 1960, continuing as the Galletto 92 Elettrico until 1966. An older restoration in average condition, this Moto Guzzi Galletto is offered with an original instruction manual (in Italian), a factory brochure and an old Belgian registration document. It is not known when the machine was acquired for the East Collection. The current odometer reading is 26,005 kilometres.

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1949 BSA 123cc Bantam D1Registration no. JAS 718Frame no. YD1 1969Engine no. 6316 YDMany a now-mature motorcyclist's first two-wheeled experience will have been gained aboard a BSA Bantam. Developed from the pre-war DKW RT125 and announced in 1948, the Bantam became a top seller for BSA, in excess of half a million leaving the Birmingham factory before production ceased in 1971. Originally of 123cc, the engine grew first to 148cc and then to 172cc; optional plunger rear suspension became available in 1950 together with battery electrics, direct lighting having been used hitherto. While larger-engined versions came and went, the original 123cc D1 Bantam in its updated, plunger-suspended form remained available until 1963, one of its foremost users being the GPO (General Post Office, Royal Mail's forerunner) whose red-liveried machines (used for telegram deliveries) were a familiar sight on city streets. The Bantam remains a firm favourite to this day. This early Bantam was purchased by Tony East in 2003. The machine has been restored throughout and currently displays a total of 83 miles on odometer. Accompanying paperwork consists of a V5 document; an instruction manual for a Model D1; and a photograph of TV presenter John Craven on the Bantam with Tony also pictured.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.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1950 BSA 348cc B31Registration no. B31 MAN (Isle of Man, see text)Frame no. ZB31 11543Engine no. ZB31 25912BSA's rugged, workaday B31 was manufactured from 1945 to the end of 1959, its overhead-valve engine providing the basis for the renowned Gold Star sports roadster. At the time of its introduction, the B31 was BSA's sole all-new model, joining the lightweight 'C' and heavyweight 'M' ranges carried over from pre-war days. Produced initially with rigid frame and telescopic front fork, the B31 gained (optional) plunger rear suspension in 1949 and an all-new swinging-arm frame in '54. A good all-round performer by the standards of its time, the B31 could cruise comfortably all day at 60mph while returning 75-plus miles per gallon, virtues that endeared it to private owners and police forces alike. This much loved and highly successful model was last produced in 1959, its place in the BSA range being taken by the unitary construction B40. This BSA B31 was first registered in the UK in March 1950 as 'YFF 749', which is still on the DVLA database with no 'export' marker showing. Restored throughout and very nicely presented, the BSA was last taxed to 31st May 2022 and at time of cataloguing had 2,898 miles showing on the odometer. The machine is offered with a BSA motorcycle service chart; an instruction manual; and an Isle of Man registration certificate (missing its lower half).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.

D10 7877Developed from the pre-war DKW RT125 and announced in 1948, the Bantam became a top seller for BSA, in excess of 500,000 leaving the Birmingham factory before production ceased in 1971. The introduction of the 172cc D10 model in 1966 marked a number of important developments, the most important of which were coil ignition (replacing the old flywheel generator) and the adoption of a four-speed gearbox, while a raised compression ratio and bigger carburettor increased maximum power to 10bhp and top speed to 62mph. Tony East purchased this Bantam from Bryan Small in 2008. Restored throughout and very nicely presented, the machine had recorded 5,062 miles at time of cataloguing. Accompanying paperwork consists of an old-style V5C document; an instruction manual; and a spare parts book.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.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1965 Velocette 192cc VogueRegistration no. 65-YMN (Isle of Man)Frame no. plaque missingEngine no. plaque missingLaunched in October 1948, as the 'motorcycle for everyman' Velocette's LE addressed the criticisms most often levelled at motorcycles - that they were noisy, dirty, and needed special clothing to ride - achieving impressive levels of silence, comfort and practicality. Sadly, its arrival coincided with the start of the scooter boom and sales were disappointing. Nevertheless, and perhaps inspired by Ariel's successful Leader, Velocette took the concept a stage further in 1963, launching the faired and enclosed Vogue. Equipped with a new frame and distinctive twin-headlamp fairing, the Vogue handled well and was quieter, though no quicker, than its forebear. Production ceased in 1968. One of only 381 of its kind manufactured, and thus one of Veloce's rarer post-war models, this believed partially restored Vogue comes with a photocopied parts list, an original service manual, and an Isle of Man Vehicle Registration Certificate in Tony East's name, issued in May 2012. The certificate records engine number '7084/3', frame number '374/37' and the previous registration as 'ETR 99C'.

Ex-Paul Smart, 2,881 miles from new2006 Ducati Paul Smart 1000 Limited EditionRegistration no. KX06 OWMFrame no. *ZDMC100AA5B002475*Engine no. ZDM992A2-027070*•Previously owned by Paul Smart himself•Purchased directly from Paul by the vendor•2,881 miles from new•Full provenance 'Want it for Paul's achievement, want it for Ducati's heritage, want it for how it looks.' – Bike magazine. Paul Smart's famous victory in the 1972 Imola 200, riding what would become the 750SS, was instrumental in establishing Ducati as a high-performance brand for the modern era. So what better way to celebrate the Bologna marque's heritage than a limited edition model in the spirit of the iconic 750SS? And why not duplicate the rest of the original bevel-drive twins line-up while you're about it? That was Ducati's reasoning behind the launch of its new 'Sport Classic' range in 2005. However, none of the three models - Smart 1000 LE, Sport 1000 and GT1000 - is in any way a 'replica'; all are thoroughly modern motorcycles with only the styling and colour scheme acknowledging the past. The Paul Smart 1000 LE uses the air-cooled 1000DS v-twin engine, as found in a number of other Ducatis, which is housed in the Italian firm's trademark trellis frame, the latter complemented by some top-quality Öhlins suspension and Brembo brakes. 'After 20 miles I was totally sold on the bike, as I had been after five minutes of looking at it. Exclusivity, style, power, handling... what else could I want?' queried Bike magazine's tester at the 1000 LE's launch. A production run of only 2,000 units was planned and few motorcycles of modern times have become as instantly collectible. This Ducati Paul Smart 1000 Limited Edition was originally owned and registered by the late Paul Smart, from whom our vendor purchased it in 2009 (see handover photograph in folder). The Smarts were/are old friends of the vendor's elder brother and sister-in-law, and it was through this connection that the vendor came to purchase the Ducati from Paul. Paul owned three examples of this model but this is the only one he registered in his name. The others were gifted to Paul's family but it is understood they were never registered. When purchased, the Ducati lacked the lower fairing panels, but Paul was able to source a pair for our vendor from Ducati Italy (receipt on file). On 12th July 2023 the owner personally rode the Ducati from his home in Lincolnshire into Bonhams' Milton Keynes motorcycle facility and the ride was as exhilarating as always. Presented in outstandingly original condition, having covered only 2,881 miles from new, it has impeccable provenance and is offered with numerous interesting photographs and other items. 'KX06 OWM' was first registered to Scott Smart Racing and transferred to Paul three months later. The other two PS1000LEs that Paul kept in his garage were given to him by Ducati Italy as a 'thank you' for all the promotional work he undertook during the model's early days. Paul told the vendor that he undertook a number of personal appearances on this, his own machine, including the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Sammy Miller Museum, the National Motor Museum, and Beaulieu (the Beaulieu museum visitor's tag is still in place on the handlebars). The photograph of Paul riding this bike, which features on the special Ducati Club tribute poster (included in the sale), was almost certainly taken on one of these occasions. Also included is an illustrated folder made up by our vendor for the Ducati Owners' Club tribute to Paul Smart at last year's Motor Cycle News Rally at Peterborough in May. There is also a copy of the special banner that can be seen on the display (Paul can be seen riding this machine in the bottom left-hand photograph on the banner. The motorcycle is offered with an owner's manual (signed by Paul on the inside page). There is no service manual but there are receipts on file for the following services: •2010 (615 miles) – cam belts•2015 (1,863 miles) – cam belts and service•2020 (2,364 miles) – cam belts and service•2023 (2,731 Miles) – voltage regulator The file also contains a V5C (with Paul's details as previous owner); MoT to 2nd May 2024; and a receipted invoice for the sale in Paul's handwriting. Additional items comprise: •2022 Memorial Tribute Banner (vinyl)•Original exhaust components which Paul had changed for Termignonis before selling the bike •A fitted cover•Limited Edition T-shirt size XL, unworn, with tags•Side panel extensions for semi-naked configuration (see above – Paul sourced the '16' side panels for the vendor) •Small tool kit (under saddle)•Keys Paul Smart Ducatis are exceedingly rare. This example, previously owned by the legend himself, and with fewer than 3,000 miles recorded, represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this piece of Ducati history.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

1969 Laverda 750 GT 'American Eagle'Registration no. PFJ 320GFrame no. LAV750 1648Engine no. 750 1648•One of only some 150 made•First registered in the UK in 2021•Most collectible and sought after modelsShortly after the Laverda 750GT went on sale in Europe, McCormack International Motors Incorporated, a vehicle importing business, concluded a deal with the Italian factory to market the model in the USA under the 'American Eagle' brand name. Unfortunately for Jack McCormack, Laverda's 750 twins were soon upstaged by the four-cylinder Honda CB750, which was not only better specified but cheaper too, and only some 150 had been imported when McCormack went bust. With relatively few made and even fewer still in existence, the American Eagle is now one of Laverda's most collectible and sought after models. American Eagle is also famous as having kick-started Evel Knievel's career. The brand sponsored the American stunt rider, who wore a distinctive jumpsuit and cape with the American Eagle logo across the front of his leathers and on his helmet. He used a modified American Eagle 750 to complete several record-breaking jumps, suffering some spectacular crashes. Eventually Harley-Davidson realised the marketing potential and provided Knievel with a Harley-Davidson XR750 for his jumps. This very early US-market American Eagle 750 GT was first registered in the UK on 1st September 2021 and has had one former keeper in this country. Its history in the USA is unknown. There is a video of the machine running, available to view on the Bonhams website. The machine is offered with sundry invoices; photocopied technical literature; suspension instructions; owner's manual/parts list; repair guide; copy online advertisement; and a current V5C document. A 4' round brake light lamp lens is included in the sale.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.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Original and unrestored1922/1923 P&M 600cc Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. NR 1841Frame no. 10287Engine no. 02345• Present family ownership since 1957• Widely campaigned• Displayed at Stanford HallOffered for sale by his family, this P&M outfit formerly belonged to the late Angus Martin, an engineer involved in developing the first of Frank Whittle's jet engines during WW2. After the war he was proprietor of Dunsmore Garage (1948-1986); a husband and father of three; and, lastly but by no means least, a rider in the Isle of Man TT races in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, and any circuit you care to name in Great Britain.One day he arrived back at Dunsmore Garage from an auction with the machine offered here, a 1922/1923 P & M motorcycle combination, 'NR 1841'. That was around 1957 when the vendor was ten years old. He remembers riding it for the first time around the pumps on the filling station forecourt, carefully changing gear with the hand-change gear lever: 'It was a fun machine, so different from all our father's other bikes.'Angus's daughter Angela discovered that the previous owner was a Mr Sparks, and when he died the P&M was sold by his friend Bob Haynes, together with all his assets. For some years the P&M remained unused in the garage's car showroom. Then, in the 1980s, the P&M began to be used more. A collection of photographs, VMCC and other magazines, show the sidecar being ridden by Angus Martin at Mallory Park (1989), the Banbury Run (early 1980s) and other events, once with his wife Audrey as a passenger, often with Vic Saunders. Angus Martin always wore his racing helmet, painted silver with a green shamrock on the front, ever a proud Ulsterman.In 1986, Dunsmore Garage was sold and the Martins retired to a house in Rugby. Angus spent many hours going to autojumbles with Vic Saunders, and rebuilding old bikes in a big shed at the end of the garden. At some point the P&M, together with a CSI Norton, spent some years at Stamford Hall on display before being returned to storage in the family garage in Rugby. Sadly, Angus Martin passed away in 1990 and the motorcycles were inherited by our vendor; living in London, he did not have a garage, so they stayed in his mother's garage and moved with her when she moved house again.In 2005, Colin Mitchell, a family friend, rode the P&M, with his lady wife as passenger, dressed in period costume, in the VMCC Warwicks 50th Coventry parade at Coombe Park, winning the Jack Butler Trophy for best Vintage combination. Eventually, the garage was required to house Angela's Austin Seven Ruby, so arrangements were made with the VMCC for them to have the P&M on loan. Bill Phelps was one of the first to accommodate the P&M, and among the papers there is a very interesting account of his stewardship of the machine.The VMCC kept it well maintained, and the P&M was ridden in events such as the Banbury Run. In 2013 it was ridden by David Davies, editor of the VMCC magazine, and was pictured therein leaving Gaydon. Last taxed for the road in 2014, 'NR 1841' has been well cared for and kept running by the VMCC, and was entrusted to the prestigious Sammy Miller Museum in 2022 for repair and recommissioning after an accident. The vendor has now decided that it would be best to pass the P&M on to someone who would, it is hoped, treasure it as its custodians have done for the last 66 years.Accompanying documentation includes an original Instruction Manual (well used); three tax discs from the 1920s; a current V5C Registration Certificate; correspondence; parts price lists; various photographs; and details of events entered and prizes won, mostly VMCC related. There are also numerous magazines with articles and photographs of the outfit being ridden in various events. The history file's contents testify to the care taken of the P&M by the VMCC, showing their great love and respect for these lovely old motorcycles.Having spent 66 years in the care of one family, and displaying that wonderful patina that only an original and unrestored machine can have, this delightful 100-year-old P&M combination is worthy of the closest inspection.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

HA02E 1449084Introduced in 1958, Honda's classic Cub 'step-thru' moped gave millions of people the world over their first taste of two-wheeled mobility. Larger-engined versions of the original 50cc Super Cub were soon made available, the nominally 90cc C90 arriving in 1965. Better built, more powerful and more reliable than most contemporary mopeds, while endowed with handling superior to that of the small-wheeled scooter, the Cub family set new sales records for motorcycle production and continues to be immensely popular today. Tony purchased this C90 from his local Honda dealer Gordon Farley of Guildford and it was first registered in the UK as 'J921 RPE' in May 1992; and in the Isle of Man in 2003. Currently displaying a total of 832 miles on odometer, the Honda is presented in nice original condition, albeit with mirrors missing and crankcases peeling. Last taxed in March 2012, the machine is offered with an IoM Vehicle Registration Certificate and an original owner's manual.

1993 Honda 748cc VFR750F Registration no. K639 PCMFrame no. JH2RC360XPM300274Engine no. RC36E-2300273Honda's wonderful and bulletproof VFR750 arose from the company's need to regain its previously peerless reputation for reliability following a spate of problems with some of its earlier V4 powered models. With such exotic features as gear driven cams the VFR was extremely expensive to manufacture, and it has been said that Honda sold each one at a loss in order to restore its reputation. This two owner 1993 example is from the second generation of VFRs which saw the advent of 17' wheels and a single sided swingarm. The first owner bought it when working in the USA, then brought it to the UK where it was registered in August 1994. The vendor, a VFR enthusiast since 1990, bought it at Bonhams April 2018 Stafford sale, and believes the recorded mileage of 16,614 to be genuine. It appears to have been well maintained throughout both ownerships. It retains its original silencer, and what appears to be the original toolkit is still under the seat. Last run on 23rd August this year, it is offered for sale only because the vendor is struggling with an increasingly arthritic right knee – the result of an old motorcycling injury, and he now finds the riding position too uncomfortable. A Honda service manual, V5C, previous V5, invoice, and several MoT certificates are supplied. The current MoT expires 20.7.2024. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. It is sold strictly as viewed.

T100 74925 (see text)The Tiger 100 sports version of Edward Turner's trend-setting Speed Twin reappeared in 1946 with telescopic forks in place of the original girders and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war magdyno. Produced almost unchanged for the next three years, the Tiger gained Triumph's distinctive headlamp nacelle in 1949 when the range was restyled. An alloy cylinder head and barrel were adopted for 1951 while a swinging-arm frame and 8'-diameter front brake were fitted from 1954 onwards. Triumphs of the Edward Turner era are among the most stylish of post-war British motorcycles, and the Tiger 100 with its handsome all-alloy engine is one of the most charismatic and sought after of them all. Acquired from a dealer by Tony East in October 2002, this beautiful Tiger 100 comes with two old-style V5C Registration Certificates, an expired MoT (2006) and numerous bills relating to its restoration by Bryan Small Motorcycles circa 2002/2003. The current odometer reading is 256 miles, which may well be the distance travelled since restoration. The Tiger also comes with an original Triumph workshop manual and replacement parts catalogue. Restored throughout and very nicely presented, the machine was last taxed until 31st January 2006. It should be noted that the engine has been restamped.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.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

ZDM1100W4*009275*• Two owners from new• Present ownership since February 2023• Custom paintwork (applied 2023)By the dawn of the 21st Century, Ducati had been keeping faith with the v-twin engine for its sports roadsters for some 30 years, so it was more a question of 'when' rather 'if' they would move on from this type of power plant, despite its having formed the bedrock of the Italian firm's model range for so long. And it can have surprised nobody when that replacement turned out to be a 90-degree desmodromic V4, as that engine configuration had been used by Ducati's MotoGP bikes since the coming of the premier class's four-stroke era in 2002. Introduced in 2018, the Panigale V4 took its name from the Borgo Panigale district of Bologna, home to the Ducati factory. The Panigale was launched in two engine capacities: 1,103cc and 1,000cc, the latter being necessary to comply with Superbike racing regulations. The engine's architecture was closely based on that of the racer, even going so far as to retain the MotoGP bike's backwards-rotating crankshaft, while, unlike the preceding Panigale v-twins which employed the engine as a stressed chassis member, there was a partial aluminium perimeter frame. Ducati being Ducati, the electronics were, of course, state of the art. This Panigale V4 had only one owner before our vendor purchased it on 2nd February 2023. The machine was serviced by Moto Rapido before the first owner traded it in for a new Ducati (date and mileage in service book). The vendor rode the Ducati for only 4 miles before he decided to treat it to some custom paintwork in the Italian national colours of red, white and green, which was carried out by Carisma Custom Paint in Colchester. The repainted parts were ready in early June and the Panigale shows a total of 24,660 miles at the time of cataloguing/photography. The standard control levers, clear screen, pillion seat tail section, and footrests are included in the sale, and the machine also comes with a single-sided paddock stand. The engine has been started and run up to full operating temperature every 14 days, and the battery kept on a trickle charger at all times. However, at 69 years of age and having been riding for over 54 years, he finds the Panigale too much for him. There is also a video of the machine running, available to view on the Bonhams website.Accompanying documentation includes a V5C Registration Certificate; current MoT (expires 14.02.2024); original 2023 Moto Rapido Ltd sales invoice; motorcycle service sheets; and the black leather Ducati wallet containing the service booklet (last service stamp 3.10.22), owner's manual, and roadside assistance program. Two 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
