Property of a deceased's estate 1966 Triumph 649cc T120 BonnevilleRegistration no. NYA 63E (see text)Frame no. T120 DU43310Engine no. T120 DU43310Graced by one of the most evocative model designations in the history of motorcycling, the Triumph Bonneville owes its existence to record-breaking successes achieved on the eponymous Utah salt flats in 1958, when a Tiger 110 set a new 650cc production machine record of over 147mph. Launched at the Motor Cycle Show in September 1958, the production Bonneville remained recognisably similar to the first Speed Twin of 1938 for the next few years, as did Triumph's other large-capacity twins. Unitary construction of engine and gearbox was already a feature of the 350 and 500 twins though, and that innovation duly appeared on the 650s in 1963. The café racers' favourite since its introduction, thanks to lusty acceleration and a top speed approaching 120mph, the Bonneville continued in this new form as Triumph's top-of-the-range sports roadster. This collectible T120 Bonneville dates from 1966, by which time the handling problems associated with earlier versions had been sorted. Last taxed for the road in 2000, the Bonnie displays a total of 10 miles on the odometer, which may well be the distance travelled since its restoration. The machine is offered with pre-restoration photographs; Triumph Replacement Parts Catalogue; parts catalogue (missing covers); Triumph owner's workshop manual; and copy Real Classic magazine article. There is no registration document with this Lot. Prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the validity of the Vehicle Registration Number prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

2009 Triumph 865cc Bonneville SERegistration no. PK59 WYCFrame no. *SNT900K13AT410628*Engine no. 408783When production of Triumphs finally stopped in 1983, after the Meriden Cooperative went into receivership, the rights to the Triumph name were sold to John Bloor. To enable him fully to prepare for production of new models, time was needed for design and planning, and he therefore licensed the rights to manufacture Triumphs to Les Harris until, in 1990, Bloor was ready to begin production. Triumphs began to roll off the production line once again in 1991. Initial models were three- and four-cylinder machines in a modular design. Later models started to use 'retro' styling to capitalise on the name and history of the marque. One such retro model was the 865 Bonneville SE offered here, with a twin cylinder power unit looking similar to older models, but with modern engineering solutions. 'PK59 WYC' was purchased new by the late owner from Youles of Blackburn (purchase invoice on file) and he used it regularly each year, in good weather conditions, until 2019. The total mileage covered at the time of consignment was 26,183. It has a continuous run of MoTs from 2012, and the present one expires in October 2020. Standing since the time of the last MoT in October 2019, the Triumph should only need modest recommissioning and basic checks by a new owner before taking to the road once again. Documentation comprises a current V5C, two old V5Cs, the aforementioned sales invoice and run of MoT certificates, a Haynes manual, owner's handbook, original sales brochure, invoices, and sundry papers. The machine is presently on SORN.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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
Lot 338
1960 Moto Morini 175cc Tresette SprintRegistration no. FAS 861Frame no. 43044Engine no. TS41939Introduced for the 1954 model year, the 175cc Moto Morini Settebello (Seven of Diamonds) was a high-performance sports roadster that commenced a run of models named after card games. Although intended for production-class racing, the Settebello was sold with full road equipment and could be distinguished from Morini's other 175s by its larger cylinder head containing hairpin valve springs (all the rest used coils). Following the budget-priced Biscola (trumps) the last of the card game-themed 175s was the Tresette (Three Sevens) which was newly introduced for 1958 together with the sporting Tresette Sprint. There was also an out-and-out racer, the twin-overhead-camshaft Rebello, which was one of the most advanced designs available when introduced in 1955. This restored Moto Morini Tresette Sprint was first registered in the UK in May 2002 and has belonged to the current vendor since November 2013. We are advised that the compression has been lowered for road use, and that the machine has been upgraded with a Powerdynamo 12-volt ignition and MMB electronic rev counter. Last run in December 2019, the machine is described by the private vendor as in excellent condition throughout and would make a superb acquisition for any collection and an ideal mount for the Moto Giro d'Italia. Accompanying documentation consists of restoration notes and bills; some expired MoTs; a V5C Registration Certificate; and photocopy instruction manual and parts book.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

1966 Aermacchi 246cc Ala VerdeRegistration no. FEY 384DFrame no. 222886Engine no. 22286A household name among motorcyclists thanks to its heroic achievement of producing the most highly developed and successful overhead-valve racing single ever, Aermacchi was a relative latecomer to motorcycle manufacture, building its first machine, the curious scooter-like Convertible, in the late 1940s. Aermacchi's first 'proper' motorcycle, the two-stroke Monsone, appeared in 1950, but it was not until 1956 that the firm's trademark horizontally mounted four-stroke single made its debut in the Chimera. Featuring enclosed bodywork reminiscent of Ariel's Arrow, but bags more stylish, the Chimera would remain in production until 1960. Before then it had been joined by a quartet of more conventionally styled machines in 175cc and 250cc capacities, the sporting version of the latter being the 80mph Ala Verde. One of the last built before Aermacchi was acquired by AMF (owners of Harley-Davidson) this five-speed Ala Verde has been upgraded with a Powerdynamo 12-volt ignition. Imported into the UK in 1992 as a restoration project but sat in a garage until November 2015 when it changed hands and was totally rebuilt. Registered in August 2017, the Ala Verde has covered fewer than 100 kilometres since completion and is presented in commensurately excellent condition, having last run in December 2019. The machine is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate; copy instruction manual and parts book; and a substantial file of restoration invoices.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

1961 MV Agusta 150cc GTRegistration no. JSL 569Frame no. GT647085Engine no. 870389'The Italian Highway Code, introduced in 1959, brought the 150 back into fashion, as it forbade access to the motorway system to vehicles with cylinder capacities of less than 150 cm3. The MV 150... had an effective capacity of 150.1 cm3 and was therefore allowed to travel on the motorways...' – Colombo & Patrignani, MV Agusta. After the launch of its first production four-stroke - a 175cc, overhead-camshaft, unitary construction single - MV followed up in 1954 with the similar, although overhead-valve, Gran Turismo 125. Similar models in other capacities followed, the first 150cc offerings appearing in 1959. Gran Turismo (GT), Rapido Sport (RS) and Rapido Sport America (RSA) versions were produced. Like their larger siblings, the small MVs were very expensive - at around £200 the Turismo Rapido cost as much as a British 500 - which explains why so few of these exquisitely engineered little bikes were sold in the UK. This restored MV Agusta 150 GT has belonged to the vendor since October 2010 and has covered only 250 miles since then. Last run in December 2019 and described by the owner as in good condition throughout, having been maintained regularly, the machine is offered with sundry bills; a V5C document; photocopy instruction manual and parts book; and a quantity of old MoTs (most recent expired December 2017.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

1929 Automoto 350cc AL9 Grand Tourist LuxeRegistration no. BS 9299Frame no. 20246 (see text)Engine no. 20246According to Tragatsch, the French Automoto of pre-1939 days was 'a typical 'farmers machine' of great durability'. Founded in 1902 in Saint-Étienne, the firm specialised in the manufacture of robust, high quality motorcycles using proprietary engines as well as those of its own manufacture. During the 1930s, the Automoto range included two-stroke-powered models ranging from 100cc to 250cc in capacity, and four-strokes from 175cc to 500cc. Offerings in the latter category included models powered by sidevalve, overhead-valve, and overhead-camshaft engines, the 'cammy' model having a unitary construction Chaise engine. This Automoto had already been restored when it was purchased by the current vendor in 2004. The handlebar and control levers were then nickel-plated and the engine bottom end rebuilt by Alpha Bearings. The only other work required has been to replace the cylinder head gasket with a solid copper one. Since acquisition, the machine has been ridden regularly, proving surprisingly nippy for a sidevalve. Last run in 2018, it is described by the vendor as in excellent condition (although the electrical generator needs attention). The only notified deviation from factory specification concerns the Pilgrim oil pump, which has been modified to provide manual adjustment independent of engine speed and is now reliable. The machine is offered with a good history file containing marque-related literature, V5C documents, etc. It should be noted that the frame number is incorrectly recorded in the V5C.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

1933/1936 Norton 348cc International Model 40Registration no. VY 7683Frame no. 40 49586Engine no. 4900This International Model 40 was purchased by the vendor's brother in 1953. Two years later it was sold to the present owner. Over the succeeding five years it accompanied him on his various escapades and adventures, like many motorcyclists of the time. Unlike many others, when the bike was retired from the road in 1960, he kept it, and still owns it to this day. It appears that, prior to the family ownership in 1953, the frame had been changed from the original (1936) frame to an earlier (1933) frame. The replacement frame is a 1933 International model 40 frame, whilst the engine is the original 1936 item.Offered for restoration, the documentation comprises an original RF60 continuation buff log book dated 1950, a maintenance manual and email correspondence from the VMCC regarding the frame and engine numbers.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

Property of a deceased's estate c.1967 Marusho Lilac 500cc Magnum ElectraRegistration no. not UK registeredFrame no. F9-1108Engine no. R2-1108Marusho was founded in 1948 by Masashi Ito. By 1950 he had produced his first motorcycle, the 150cc ML. Other models followed, and some, such as the transverse V-twins and flat twins, were quite similar to the Victoria Bergmeister, and the BMW, respectively. Purchased by the deceased owner in Australia in 1996, this Marusho was in a poor state and was restored there at the behest of the owner, before being imported to the UK in 2003. After arrival in the country the vendor took the machine to one show where it won best Japanese bike, and entered it at Stafford where it was awarded 'Machine of Most Technical Merit'. It has never been run since restoration, so a new owner will need to re-commission the bike and carry out safety checks before use. Documentation comprises a copy parts/maintenance manual, papers relating to shipping, and sundry other papers.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1979 Honda CBX1000ZRegistration no. DNB 366TFrame no. CB1 2003118Engine no. CBIE 2003363This desirable twin-shock Honda CBX1000Z was purchased by the present owner in September 2006 and has been MoT'd annually until last year when it became exempt. The machine has benefited from regular changes of oil, filters and spark plugs, while the front brake pads are new genuine Honda. We are advised that no major work has been required on either the engine or gearbox. Last run in January 2020, the machine is said to start readily and run well. An owner's manual (original) and a workshop manual are included in the sale and the machine also comes with a V5C document and the aforementioned MoT certificates. The following modifications are notified: Motobatt battery; 6-into-1 Laser exhaust system; braided brake hoses; and an after-market front brake master cylinder.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

1982 Harley Davidson 1,000cc XLH SportsterRegistration no. AWL 34YFrame no. 1HD1CAH18CY123970Engine no. *CAHC123970*The Harley Davidson Sportster XL was introduced in 1957, and was a variation of the flathead model KH. In 1958 it was joined by the XLH, XLC, and the XLCH, which were a higher state of tune. 'AWL 34Y' was acquired by the vendor in approximately 1998, and was used regularly every year until 2006, since when it has been dry stored and declared SORN. Accompanying the bike is a spare petrol tank, tool bag, spare dual seat, the front mudguard, the rear lamp, and sundry parts. Documentation comprises an older-type V5C together with an owner's manual. The machine will require a new battery, re-commissioning, and attention to the brakes before taking to the road with a new owner.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

c.1942 Harley-Davidson 739cc WLA Type III ProjectRegistration no. JLA 270 (see text)Engine no. 42WLA17783In 1939 the US Army was supplied with two prototype Harley Davidsons for military evaluation and, based on tests and comparison with other machines, such as Indian and Delco, an order was eventually placed in 1940 for the first WLAs. It proved to be a success in its military role and was supplied to several countries, including Great Britain, who ordered 5000 in the early stages of World War II. It seems possible that this machine could be one of the 5000 supplied to Great Britain, as it was first registered for road use in London in August 1947, a period when we have encountered other WLAs registered for civilian use. The present owner acquired this machine many years ago from a close friend who had used the bike with its original sidecar. When he took it off the road and dismantled it, he sent the sidecar for scrap, and repainted the WLA parts in maroon and cream, before boxing the bike parts to be reassembled in the future. The vendor repainted the parts in olive drab, before boxing them once again when his work began to occupy more of his time. Work has been and gone, but he no longer has the inclination to complete the project, hence its sale. This project appears substantially complete, and a new owner has a wonderful opportunity to resurrect this great old warhorse to its former glory. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the completeness, or otherwise, of the project. Documentation comprises a continuation RF60 buff log book, an original service manual, and a photocopy magazine article. It should be noted, the Vehicle Registration number does not appear on the HPI database and may have since lapsed. Prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the validity of the Vehicle Registration Number prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1975 Suzuki GT250ARegistration no. JOK 779NFrame no. 59392Engine no. GT250-103020Stung by criticism of its lacklustre GT250M, Suzuki responded with the GT250A. Gone was the 250M's 'Ram Air' cylinder head cowl, while more importantly the engine gained a four-bearing crankshaft, one-piece cylinder head, extra transfer ports, and larger carburettors. Suzuki claimed a maximum power output of 32bhp for the GT250A, two horsepower more than the GT250M, a seemingly minor gain that translated into vastly superior on-the-road performance. Tested by Bike magazine in February 1976, a 250A reached 91mph and rocketed through the standing quarter-mile in 15.02 seconds, an improvement of 9mph and 1.2 seconds respectively over the 250M tested the previous year. First registered on 5th May 1975, this GT250A is a clean and un-restored example, described by the private vendor as in good original condition, although the Higgspeed exhausts are an obvious departure from standard. Last run one year ago, the machine should require only the minimal re-commissioning before returning to the road. Offered with an owner's manual and a V5C document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

1967 Moto Guzzi 125 Stornello SportFrame no. T 02LREngine no. T 62LRA close relative of the Lodola, the Stornello (starling) debuted at the Milan Show in December 1959. Powered by a 124cc overhead-valve unitary construction engine featuring parallel valves and an inclined cylinder, carried in a twin-down-tube frame, the Stornello combined adequate performance with excellent fuel economy and sound handling. Its designer was the legendary race engineer Giulio Carcano, the man responsible for Moto Guzzi's spectacular V8. A Sport version, equipped with a totally different cylinder head and larger carburettor, followed in 1961. Motor Cycle tested a Stornello Sport in its 14th December 1961 issue, and although the riding position was not to the tester's liking he found that the little Guzzi 'has ample punch and handles like a thoroughbred'. Displaying a total of 32,251km (20,040 miles) on the odometer, this rare Stornello Sport is offered for restoration. The machine comes with an instruction manual and an Italian registration document (1967).Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1958 Moto Guzzi 192cc Galletto (see text)Frame no. unable to locateEngine no. unable to locateLike 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. This apparently original Galletto is offered for restoration and comes with a (copy) owner's manual and an original workshop manual. It should be noted that its precise date of manufacture is not known, though it must be prior to 1961.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1954 Motom 163cc DelfinoFrame no. 30A 3250Engine no. unable to locateFounded in Italy in 1945 and active until the early 1970s, Motom was unusual among European manufacturers of mopeds and ultra-lightweight motorcycles in preferring the four-stroke engine rather than the ubiquitous two-stroke. Pressed-steel spine frames were another Motom trademark although, as time progressed, models with tubular frames were introduced and proprietary Peugeot and Zündapp two-stroke engines adopted. The post-war scooter boom influenced certain motorcycle manufacturers, particularly in Italy, giving rise to strange-looking hybrids such as the Aermacchi Chimera, Moto Guzzi Galletto, MV Agusta Pullman, and Motom Delfino. Looking like something out of Flash Gordon, the futuristic Delfino (Dolphin) featured an enclosed fan-cooled engine, voluminous mudguards, and 15'-diameter wheels. The engine's eight horsepower were delivered to the road via a four-speed gearbox, and a top speed of 90km/h (56mph) was claimed. An older restoration by a specialist, this rare Motom Delfino displays a total of 3,639km on the odometer and comes with an operating and maintenance manual.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NMT NNMT Motor vehicle lots marked 'NMT' originate from or are registered in another EU member state and have travelled less than 6,000km from new.

1955 Motom 98cc TSFrame no. unable to locateEngine no. unable to locateFounded in Italy in 1945 and active until the early 1970s, Motom was unusual among European manufacturers of mopeds and ultra-lightweight motorcycles in preferring the four-stroke engine rather than the ubiquitous two-stroke. Pressed-steel spine frames were another Motom trademark although, as time progressed, models with tubular frames were introduced and proprietary Peugeot and Zündapp two-stroke engines adopted. The post-war scooter boom influenced certain motorcycle manufacturers, particularly in Italy, giving rise to strange-looking hybrids such as the Aermacchi Chimera, Moto Guzzi Galletto, and MV Agusta Pullman. This Motom 98 TS is another example of the trend, featuring an enclosed engine and a fuel tank housed within the frame members. Weighing 65kg (143lb) and with 7.3bhp on tap, the 98 TS had a top speed of 100km/h (62mph). An older restoration by a specialist, this rare Motom ultra-lightweight is offered with an operating and maintenance manual.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1952 Benelli 125cc LeoncinoFrame no. L33080NEngine no. L17002NItaly's oldest surviving motorcycle manufacturer, Benelli was founded in 1911 by the six Benelli brothers. A relatively recent re-entrant into the superbike market with its Tornado-derived family of triples, Benelli is best known for its Grand Prix successes in the 1950s/1960s when it secured two 250cc World Championships, and also for its outrageous six-cylinder road bikes of the 1970s. The Italian manufacturer has, of course, always produced less exotic fare such as the Leoncino lightweight offered here, a model that won its class in the 1953 Moto Giro d'Italia (see photocopied press report on file). Unusually, the Leoncino was offered in both two-stroke and four-stroke variants. A model rarely seen outside its home country, this Leoncino two-stroke was restored in the Morbidelli Museum's workshop. The machine is offered with an operating and maintenance manual (in Italian).Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1946 Moto Guzzi Cardellino 65Frame no. 15801Engine no. 15801Two-strokes did not feature in the Moto Guzzi range until after WW2 when the extraordinarily successful Motoleggera 65 put a whole generation of Italians on two wheels. A development of the Motoleggera, the Cardellino (goldfinch) first appeared at the Milan Show in 1953, retaining the 64cc engine of its predecessor while benefiting from a new, stronger frame. Early in 1956 the Cardellino was updated with a telescopic fork and full-width alloy hubs and later that same year a 73cc version was announced. Further developed and enlarged (to 83cc) the Cardellino remained in production until 1965. Like most Italian lightweights, the Cardellino was light-years in advance of foreign contemporaries: reliable, comfortable and endowed with excellent roadholding and handling despite rather crude suspension. This Cardellino had been restored prior to its acquisition by the Morbidelli Museum. The machine is offered with an original workshop manual. There is no registration document with this Lot.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1955 Isoscooter 125cc Motor Scooter Frame no. unable to locateEngine no. unable to locateNowadays Iso is best remembered for its muscular V8-engined Grifo supercar of the 1960s but the company's origins were more mundane. Renzo Rivolta's Isothermos company had begun life pre-war making refrigerators, turning to the manufacture of scooters and motorcycles after the war and thence to the highly successful Isetta 'bubblecar'. After the failure of its first scooter, the Furetto, Iso produced the Isoscooter and Isomoto lightweight motorcycle, both of which used a Puch-style 125cc 'split single' two-stroke engine. Although it was a major manufacturer with more than 2,500 agents in Italy and Europe, Iso had its sights firmly set on the Gran Turismo car market and ceased making two-wheelers in 1960. A 'must have' for the serious scooter collector, this charming Isoscooter had already been restored by a specialist when it was purchased by the Morbidelli Museum. Displaying a total of 2,194km on the odometer, this rare machine is offered with an original instruction manual.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NMT NNMT Motor vehicle lots marked 'NMT' originate from or are registered in another EU member state and have travelled less than 6,000km from new.

c.1946 SIATA 48cc CuccioloFrame no. 434Engine no. 20860Designed for bicycle attachment, the Cucciolo ('little pup') was the Bologna-based Ducati factory's first product and was sold widely outside Italy including the UK, where it was imported by Britax, which later offered complete machines. The Cucciolo power unit had been designed in wartime by Aldo Farinelli, enabling production to commence almost as soon as hostilities ceased. Farinelli's design was first taken up by SIATA, who took Ducati on board when demand swiftly outstripped their capacity to supply. By 1947 Ducati had assumed full control of Cucciolo production. Unusual in being a four-stroke at a time when most such utility units were two-strokes, the overhead-valve Cucciolo was of unitary construction incorporating a two-speed transmission, and was described by Motor Cycling magazine as 'beautifully engineered'. This SIATA-built Cucciolo is attached to a SIATA ladies' bicycle of advanced design, featuring front and rear suspension. The machine is offered with an original instruction manual.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
