Registration No: HSV 300 Frame No: ES 626 Engine No: XJ 616 CC: 1000 MOT: ExemptPurchased by the vendor over 30 years agoPrevious been in South AfricaRestored to a good standardNow with an older V5 Registration DocumentAs Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd, one of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner, who at the time was looking for work and showing drawings of his engine designs to various motorcycle manufacturers. In the days of predominately single-cylinder engines a square four layout was very advanced and the bike stayed in production until the late 1950s. The engine with two transverse crankshafts was essentially a pair of across-frame OHC parallel twins joined by their geared central flywheels, with a four-cylinder block and single head. The idea for the engine was rejected by BSA but adopted by Ariel, becoming their prestige model for the next 20 years.This C1954/5 Airel Square Four was purchased by the vendor some 30+ years ago as to go into his collection. It has been restored very well and is showing little sign of use since completion. In its striking Black and chrome livery and some very special straight-through silencers. Recommissioning will be required before use. The Ariel comes complete with an old style V5 For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: RWT 112K Frame No: 2031874 Engine No: 2039958 CC: 750 MOT: ExemptUK Supplied 750 K2Credible 22,248m and current V5COlder restorationThe introduction of Honda's seminal CB750 at the Tokyo show in October 1968 profoundly altered the motorcycle market elevating motorcyclists’ expectations to a higher level. The new model did not introduce any new innovations but was innovative in introducing them as a package. Four-cylinder power-plants, electric starting, 12v electrical systems and disc brakes had all been seen before, as had 120 mph performance and oil-tight engines but no machine before the CB750 had incorporated all of these features at the same time.This UK supplied CB750 with ‘Dream Machine’ tank, is reported to be in ‘good running order’. An excellent opportunity to acquire a nicely presented K2 vendor advises ‘usual checks’ before use. For more information, please contact: Stewart Parker info@handh.co.uk 07836 346875
Registration No: WO 3292 Frame No: H2621 Engine No: 2286 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptAuthentically presented Ariel Model F 500Enthusiast owned Banbury eligible bikeSupplied with a paperwork file and a V5CLike a lot of British motorcycle companies, Ariel began producing bicycles in the late 1800s eventually progressing onto motorcycles in 1902. In the 1920/30s their design department included the likes of chief designer Val Page, Edward Turner and Bert Hopwood and it was Page who laid down the basics of Ariel’s four-stroke singles range when he moved the magneto behind the engine in 1927 and established the layout of Ariels singles for the next 30 years. After a typically rocky few years for manufacturers in the early part of the century, in 1932 Jack Sangster bought Ariel from the receivers at a bargain price. The company was renamed Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd, and promptly resumed production in a new factory in Selly Oak Birmingham and one of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner followed by the Ariel Red Hunter.The Model F, first registered in Monmouthshire, was quite an advanced bike in its day sporting twin exhaust pipes ending in fishtail silencers, with a riveted-on badge saying they have the AA’s seal of approval. Bought by the enthusiast owner in 2002 and restored by him, keeping a good degree of originality over the next few years, he has competed in many Banbury Runs since. Not run for a while it will need some recommissioning before use and it comes with a file of receipts and information about the rebuild together with various bits of technical information, old MOTs and tax discs and a current V5C.

Registration No: LOX 945 Frame No: ZC10549? Engine No: XC11.28478 CC: 250 MOT: ExemptAn exciting shed findIdeal ride or restore machine90% OriginalNo documentation foundThe little side-valve C10 250cc machine had entered the BSA catalogue during 1938. The new model featured a single-cylinder engine with coil ignition and a three-speed, hand-change gearbox housed in a rigid frame with girder forks and was graced with a combined fuel and oil tank. With the end of hostilities in 1945, it was among four machines announced to return in August 1945. 1946 saw the girder forks changed for telescopic items and the speedometer moved to the tank.This c.1948/9 BSA C10 was found in a shed in Birmingham where it has resided since 1965. In mostly original condition for its age, it has a tax disc from 1965 showing when it was last used. It rolls easily, but sadly the engine does not turn over. There is no documentation with this lot.
Registration No: LXS 715 Frame No: 21626 Engine No: 2286 CC: 250 MOT: ExemptRare in the UK Moto Guzzi Airone 250 SportTypical Italian style and race breed technologySupplied with a large paperwork file and a V5CMoto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. One of the founding fathers was Carlo Guzzi who gave his name to the company and was also the chief designer, always innovative they were very successful in Grand Prix racing with products as diverse as the 350cc horizontal single that won five world championships in a row to the incredible 500c V8. The forward facing cylinder with an outside flywheel became Guzzis signature layout until the arrival of the big vee twins in the late 1960s. The Airone isn’t as well known in the UK as its bigger brother, the 500cc Falcone, but in Italy the 250cc single was by far the bigger seller and the model was in production from the late 1930s through to 1957. An expensive bike in its day and rare in the UK, this beautifully presented Airone is the Sport model with a Sport cam, a higher compression piston and a Dellorto SS1 25mm carburettor. Bought by the vendor in 2013 as an unfinished project, the paint, chrome and preparatory mechanical work was already done with the cycle parts and frame repainted or re-chromed, wheels rebuilt and new or refurbished mechanical parts already sourced and purchased ready for the final engine rebuild. In 2018 the engine/gearbox was completely rebuilt using fully refurbished crankcases, a new crank, refurbished gearbox, a new clutch, plus all new bearings, bushes, gaskets and seals together with a full piston, barrel and head restoration. The bike has been fully rewired and with a reconditioned dynamo and magneto fitted. By late 2019 this Airone was finally ready for UK registration and issued with an age-related number. The machine was briefly run and tested after completion and went very well but due to ill health it has not been used since so will need a light recommissioning and then running in. The quality of the paintwork and the chrome/ alloy brightwork is very good and it comes supplied with a large paperwork file of technical information and receipts, some spares together with a current V5C.

Registration No: YLX 856X Frame No: VMB1T 136482 Engine No: VMB1M 136019 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptAn opportunity acquire a Vespa that rarely comes on the marketFull restoration by Retrospective ScootersPurchased from Retrospective in 2019 for £6750V5C for use on UK roadsThe first version of the Vespa Primavera was unveiled at the 1967 Milan motorcycle show and proved revolutionary: small, agile and propelled by a perky engine the Primavera remained in continuous production until 1982. It became a legendary model and also one of the most spectacular commercial successes in Vespa's history. The Primavera incorporated and combined a number of unique characteristics that had featured on other Vespa models. With previous sport models in mind like the GS, a small body like the Vespa 50 introduced in 1963 and the racing SS90. The Primavera was a fresh new model that particularly appealed to the younger rider. An elegant quick scooter with extraordinary handling that only one who has ridden one can relate to. The standard Primavera remained in production for 15 years and was only eclipsed in 1976 by the ET3 version, a model characterised by its electronic ignition, three transfer ports on the cylinder, a new elongated silencer taken from the SS90 and an ignition key on the handlebar. All of this translated into even better performance. The ET3 was in production for seven years until it was replaced by the PK range in 1983.This super example was recently restored by the well-respected Retrospective Scooters of London. It is one of the last ET3 Models to be produced in 1982 the last year of production. Our vendor purchased it in 2019 for £6750 (the bill is included in the documents) but rarely uses it so it is up for sale. It has only covered 1645 miles since the restoration. There are many original parts all over the machine as it is still a standard ET3 125 with original Dellorto carburettor albeit with a 12V conversion for better lights and ignition. Our consultant was able to see the scooter working fine and rode the scooter on the road. This most sought-after Vespa model seldom comes onto the market.

Registration No: CCA 569M Frame No: H2F39405 Engine No: H2E39661 CC: 750 MOT: ExemptMostly original Kawasaki H2BPart of a small collection of machinesRunning well and correct numbersNOVA and V5C on fileThe Kawasaki H2 Mach IV was a 750cc 3-cylinder two-stroke production motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki. The H2 was a Kawasaki triple offered from September 1971 through until 1975. More than any other model, it created Kawasaki's reputation for building, what motorcycle journalist Alastair Walker called, "scarily fast, good-looking, no holds barred motorcycles". In 1974 the H2B engine was modified for more civilized performance at the expense of raw power.This 1974 Kawasaki H2B has formed part of a small collection of machines. Having been originally purchased by the current owner and used on dry days for short runs, we have been advised by the vendor that it has been ‘running well’. It is covered in Duck Oil for winter storage and will be cleaned and ready for the auction. The Kawasaki is in mostly original condition for its age with some signs of use. It is being offered complete with a current V5C and NOVA paperwork. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: B244 MAO Frame No: JYA47M003FA010931* Engine No: 36Y-000296 CC: 1100 MOT: July 2024Bespoke café racer based on a Yamaha FJ1100 Built using many new items, and custom paintworkSupplied with receipts, an MOT and a current V5CThe Yamaha Motor Co was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German-made DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events, starting a long tradition of achievement that continues today in Moto GP and WSBk racing. The FJ1100 was launched in 1985 as Yamaha's entry into the musclebike sports tourer market and became famed for its durability and solid design. This 1985 model was imported from the USA in 1995 and used in standard trim until bought by the vendor in 2018. He then started a long term project to build a one off cafe racer using many new parts to create an unusual and distinctive special. The frame, swinging arm and wheels have been powder coated with the bodywork refinished in classic Yamaha's Red and White race colours together with a new speedo, tacho and switchgear. The chassis has been treated to a new pair of Avon Roadrider tyres, a front fork rebuild using Progressive springs, a new YSS rear shock, new brake disc, a full rebuild of the calipers and new chain and sprockets. The engine has been serviced and finished off with a bespoke 4 into 2 exhaust system. A labour of love, the vendor has spent a fortune and many hours to build this bike, dry stored over the winter it will need recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with some spare parts, receipts collected during the rebuild, an MOT until 6th July 2024 and a current V5C.*Please Note: The quoted frame number is the one which appears on the Yamaha’s V5C. It is no longer visible on the bike itself, likely due to paint coverage. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189
Registration No: FNB 788C Frame No: 175TV3 550211 Engine No: 175TV/2 549869 CC: 175 MOT: ExemptCorrect numbersItalian documentationIn good running condition at time of consignmentAppears largely original (see description)V5C for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV175 Series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 Series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV Series 2 models. The TV Series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. The later version had Special type side panels and offered Metallic Blue as a colour in addition to the standard colour range.This very presentable example in our opinion was imported from Italy in 2019 and comes complete with Italian Ministry paperwork confirming the first registration there as the 1st of October 1965. As in keeping with his other scooters our vendor has carefully specialised in collecting very original examples and we note that all of the outer cables, grease-points and cable straps have apparently never been removed. Still standard on 6v points. However, this scooter has a surprise. The leg shields show both badging of a TV Series 3 and an Li Special. As the machine is showing correct numbers for a TV3 it is our supposition that the leg shield was replaced for some reason with a Special leg shield obtained in the same colour which was also available for both models at the time. The leg shields do appear to have been overpainted but MOTs of the other panels do appear as original paint. It is also a battery model and it is unknown whether the battery tray was added at a later date or factory supplied in this way. Apart from these features the scooter is very much a standard TV Series 3 and a very presentable one too in arguably the most desirable colour scheme. The seat is an original Noemi Rosa with original cover and in excellent condition. There is a lot of originality all over the machine and of note the standard 175 engine and many small features all over. The scooter started easily and was running very well at time of consignment.

Registration No: MCY 405D Frame No: VSC1T 0023029 Engine No: VSC1M 0022199 CC: 181 MOT: ExemptSuperb restored exampleStill 6v on standard engineMany original parts throughoutAppears completely standard Correct numbers V5 present for use on UK roadsThe Vespa SS180 introduced in 1964 was at the time the fastest production model Piaggio had ever made. Superseding the GS160 Mk2 it was initially going to be designated the GS Mk3 as Vespa archives state. It retained the large toolbox on the inside of the leg shield from the GS160 Mk2 and with 10 inch wheels and 4 gears its 181cc motor produced 10hp and gave a top speed of 65mph. It was the last Vespa model with a piston-ported engine. The most noticeable feature is the trapezoidal headlight which it shared with smaller sister models the GL150 and 125. Around 35700 were produced between 1964 and 1968 and today these are highly sought after as fast and elegant and seen as the height of ‘60s modernist style.This genuine Italian SS180 has been restored to a high standard using the original parts and is the second series with no key ignition. Upon close examination it is in extremely good order with no evidence see of having had any major repairs. The floor looks extremely straight and the panels are in good order all over the machine. (To be a perfectionist there has been a repair to the grill on the engine side panel which could be further tidied up). Many of the original parts seen include: The full lights front and back are Siem, with an original Siem headlight rim, the seat appears to be original with possibly a very authentic new cover, The badges appear original with some anodisation to prove their age, original horn and speedometer are present as are the original Zadi keys for the tool box and steering lock which of course works. The toolbox itself has an original Zadi lock mechanism. The whole scooter is finished off in the correct red colour. We were able to see the scooter start easily and run perfectly at the time of consignment. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: TEO 832S Frame No: 104809 Engine No: 123386 CC: 550 MOT: ExemptEarly version of Suzuki's trendsetting middleweightWire wheels with twin front and single rear disc brakesFitted with a period Marshall 4 into 1, supplied with a V5CThe Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. An initial diversification into 4-wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war, Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 1960s were second only to Honda in numbers of two-wheelers manufactured. Better known for their two strokes Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution in 1977 with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with the Japanese build quality and performance levels. The 750 was closely followed by a slimmed down 550 version that became the best-selling middleweight in the late 1970s.This GS550 will bring back a lot of motorcyclist memories of their first 'proper' big bike and the model set new standards in 1977 for middleweight performance and handling. Essentially a slimmed down version of the GS750 this bike has been restored to use and comes fitted with a period Marshall 4 into 1 exhaust and recent tyres and is supplied with a current V5C.

Registration No: NXS 273 Frame No: XA7 71436 Engine No: XA1392 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptA very early post war BSA A7A rare survivor ‘rigid’ modelRestored in 2019The BSA A7 was the first of the BSA twin-cylinder motorcycles. The outbreak of World War II delayed the launch and several prototypes were built during the war years, with the model finally launched in September 1946, when hostilities had ended. The very first A7 off the production line was flown to Paris for the first motorcycle show after the end of the war. There was huge demand for affordable transport after the war and the simplicity of the A7 twin was helped along by the slogan 'It's time YOU had a BSA!'.This 1947 BSA A7 is a very early and rare example today, with its rigid rear end. It has been restored by the current owner in 2019 and has been used ever since. The vendor has said it is a joy to ride runs very well, and is in good working order throughout. It is being offered complete with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: WFX 313 Frame No: 605 Engine No: 7755 CC: 250 MOT: ExemptA super nice Thomann Super SportRestored to a high standardA rare French survivorCurrent V5C on fileThomann's story began in 1908 when brothers Alphonse and Jean Thomann founded Thomann et Cie, initially as a bicycle manufacturer in Suresnes, France. Their combined vision and skill laid the foundation for what would become a significant chapter in motorcycle history. In 1911, a dispute culminated in the dissolution of the original company. The aftermath saw Jean Thomann establishing a new company in 1920, distinctively marked by the use of a gorilla in its logo, in contrast to the original Thomann's elephant emblem. The original Thomann company, post-dispute, was sold to Edmond Gentil. Under Gentil's leadership, Thomann continued to flourish and, in 1919, became part of the Alcyon group. This merger was a significant step, as it expanded Thomann's reach and resources, allowing for greater innovation and development.This 1925 Thomann Super Sport was purchased by the vendor as it was something a bit different for his collection of motorcycles in 2018. The history of the machine is not known, but the machine was restored to a good standard and has not been used much since its completion. A rare model today with only a few known to exist, it comes complete with a current V5C. Some recommissioning may be required before use.

Registration No: EVG 305H Frame No: JD26590 TR6R Engine No: JD26590 TR6R CC: 650 MOT: ExemptBeautifully presented pre oil-in-frame late model TR6R TrophyAuthentically restored as a bike to use for runs and ralliesFitted with 12v electrics and indicators, supplied with a V5CTriumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983 before its rebirth in the early 1990s. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the various Bonneville, Tiger and Trophy models to be the ultimate version of the classic British vertical twin and the late 1969/1970 pre oil-in-frame models represent the peak of development of Triumph's most iconic model.Like many Triumphs built in the 1960s and early 1970s, this matching numbers Trophy appears to have spent most of its life in the USA before being repatriated in 2013. It has been restored to a good standard with a view to it being ridden with the addition of 12v electrics, indicators and period correct Dunlop K70s. This Trophy has been part of an enthusiast private collection of British classics for a few years, only selling now to make space in his garage for other projects, not run for a while it will need some recommissioning but the engine turns over on the kickstarter and it comes with a current V5C. The unit construction pre oil-in-frame models are some of the most sought-after bikes from the era. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189

Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. Their best-selling model was the Bantam first seen in 1948 as a 125cc and in fact became the best-selling British-made bike of all time.This 1968 BSA Bantam D14 was restored several years ago to a good standard. It has had little use since its completion and now has formed part of a collection of machines. Recommissioning will be required before placing back on the road. It comes complete with a current V5C, please note there is a dent in the tank on the off side. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: JKH 716L Frame No: 1025280 Engine No: 102313 CC: 350 MOT: ExemptA mostly original Honda CB350FUsed by the current vendor until last yearOwned for the last six yearsThe Honda CB350F is a four-cylinder, four-stroke, 347cc motorcycle based on the larger versions of the day (CB750, CB500). The motorcycle was manufactured by Honda in Japan from 1972 to 1974. At the time, the CB350F was the smallest capacity four cylinder motorcycle ever to enter into full-scale production. There were no changes to the 1973 model, but Honda designated the 1974 bike the CB350F1. Soon after production was discontinued, it was replaced by the CB400F. Although Honda had a 350 Twin that critics said was more powerful, lighter, and cheaper, many felt the 350 Four was faster and smoother running.This 1973 Honda CB350F (Four) was purchased by the current vendor in 2018 and it has been used by him ever since. The Honda is in mostly original condition and showing signs of use over the years. Currently on SORN since 2021 and has been running recently, but will need some recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola clip-on motor. By the 60s they had become associated with a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. An immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race, started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years.This 1998 model has only had two owners from new with the previous vendor having bought it in 2004. Showing a credible c.17,000 miles on the clock, it has been maintained by Ducati John in Wakefield and by the owner himself, who recently gave it a service with new cam belts. The bike is offered in essentially standard trim, new exhaust, and a tinted screen. A future classic that is still very rideable in modern-day road conditions, it is supplied with a current V5C. The machine is ready to go and will not disappoint the new owner. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: CSL 565 Frame No: EC12 19874 Engine No: BC11G 31266 CC: 250 MOT: ExemptAuthentically restored swinging arm BSA 250Fitted with Stainless wheel rims and spokesSupplied with lots of receipts, manuals and V5CFamous for the larger capacity 650 twins like the A10 and RGS, and sporty models like the classic Gold Star range, one of BSA’s more popular products was the C range of 250cc OHV singles that provided a good solid reliable bike for many 1950s enthusiasts to start motorcycling on. The C12 was the first version to feature swinging arm rear suspension using the same engine as the earlier C11G with its four-speed gearbox, but in a more modern chassis.This early C12 model has been restored keeping a good degree of originality and will make an ideal bike for someone wanting the character of a 1950s British bike in a relatively lightweight chassis. Supplied with over 40 receipts for parts bought during the restoration process including one showing £341 for stainless rims and spokes and various parts books, service sheets and workshop manuals together with a copy of the 'Book of BSA Singles' and a V5C. Ridden last summer it may need a light recommissioning before use. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

The engine with magneto ignition, 79 mm bore and 100 mm stroke got a new cylinder and cylinder head. The valves were no longer parallel to the side of the cylinder, but hung in the cylinder head in a "V" shape. They were actuated by the camshaft, which was still located at the bottom of the crankcase, via bumpers and rocker arms. In 1923, a production Model 18 was successfully used for the first time at the Brooklands 12 Hours.This 1937 499cc Norton Model 18 is an extremely handsome example of the pre-war Model 18 that was in single ownership from 1995 until 2021. Part of a private collection it is now fully recommissioned for road use. There is a run of MOTs from 1989 until 2004 showing minimal use with just approximately 50 miles covered on average per year.

Registration No: FTO 832C Frame No: TV3 551235 Engine No: TV/2 553434 CC: 198 MOT: ExemptOne owner from newRegistered new on 8th November 1963 in NottinghamBuff logbook and full historyFull original keys for ignition, steering lock and tool boxOn DVLA system for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV175 Series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 Series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV Series 2 models. The TV series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. The larger-engined TV200 quickly followed the TV175 slim style in early 1963 at the specific request of the British importer Lambretta Concessionaires who wanted an even more powerful model than the TV175 to satisfy their customer base. Genuine TV200 Lambrettas were instantly recognised as the GT200 to differentiate them from the TV175 models. The first versions had Li style panels and the later versions had SX-type panels with polished flashes and were often sold with a coloured top on the panel.This extremely original later example of a genuine GT200 was sold new by Horace Rogers Ltd of Nottingham to our vendor's father on the 10th November 1965. It was used by his father with mother as pillion up until the early 1980s with a now 16116 miles on the clock when they had a spill and it was never ridden again and stored in a dry garage until now. It was however MOT’d and taxed annually until 1988. As far as purity is concerned a GT200 stated as that on the first buff logbook (as opposed to TV200) and with fibreglass mudguard from new and the whole scooter is in such original untouched condition. The paint all over is as it was when sold with Gold highlighted panels with no visible touch-ups that we could see and the running in transfer is still visible inside the leg shields. The exception is the visible dent from the accident on the front and the replacement lower headset repaired at the time. The scooter still has its original ULMA/Nannucci accessory rear rack it was sold with and Ulma rubber carpet which is quite perished now. Under the floor mat the floor is in excellent condition as see in the photographs. There is also an accessory fuel gauge in gallons as sold by Lambretta Concessionaires and an ULMA wheel disc in amongst a large amount of spare parts and genuine tools. Spare cables, plugs and bulbs were in the toolbox showing a well-used and loved scooter while on the road. One side panel has an ingenious device as a lever which looks like a classic car handle but it works and shows that this was a used and loved machine while on the road. Everything else appears to be original. The scooter also comes with a selection of genuine manuals including the first edition of the official Lambretta Workshop manual. There are many parts supplied that were found with the scooter including the original TV200 rear frame badge and disc brake windows. Also, the helmet used back in the day and rider’s gauntlets. No attempt was made to start the scooter. It is a lovely precious item and we expect some serious interest in this scooter.

Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983 before its rebirth in the early 1990s. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the T120 Bonneville, first seen in late 1958, to be the ultimate version of the classic British vertical twin and the last of the non 'oil in frame' models represents the peak of development of Triumphs most iconic model.This beautifully restored 1970 model was initially exported to the USA but was repatriated in 1995, whilst overseas the bottom end must have been changed for some reason. The vendor bought it in 2019 as a project and commenced a full restoration including repainting the frame and bodywork in classic Astral Red and Silver colours, rebuilding the wheels with stainless rims and spokes shod with period correct Dunlop K70 tyres, a new exhaust system and wear and tear items with the original stainless mudguards repolished. The engine has been fully stripped, crank balanced, new Harris cylinder and pistons, new E3134 cams, oil pump, carbs and a Pazon electronic ignition. The bike has not done many miles since and started first kick when being photographed. It comes with a large quantity of spares including the original barrels bored to +60, original carbs, paint and an extensive paperwork file of receipts, special tools, technical information, workshop manuals, a cover, and a V5C.

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The NS250R was Honda’s first entry into the fiercely contested 250cc race replica market in 1984, a water-cooled, 45bhp, ninety-degree vee-twin housed in a GP replica aluminium frame with the uprated NSR MC16 model arriving in 1987. It competed fiercely with the Suzuki RGV and the Yamaha TZRs for honours on the street and in production racing championships.This NRS250 has been part of an enthusiast private collection for a number of years and is now downsizing due to ill health. It was restored by him around 2016 keeping as much originality as possible including original HM KV3 stamped exhaust. Not ridden much since, the Bridgestone Battlax tyres fitted at the time still look like new, so it will need some recommissioning before use. Supplied with a copy of a parts book, a few old MOTs and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189

During its sole year in production only 9669 were produced and it was subject to dozens of modifications in this short time. The 125M was never exported, had a 125cc engine, 3 speed gearbox and foot operated gear change. It has no suspension except a rubber block at the front. It had 7 inch wheels, later changed to 8 inch on the model B. Many of the parts were chrome plated and the overall design was extremely elegant, particularly the deco-style gear shift guide and the sweeping front mudguard. These machines are now very rare and there are very few registered for the road in the UK.Chassis number 7010 (numbering started at 5001). This extremely well-restored example in the correct colour and using the original parts or quality NOS replacements as specified by Casa Lambretta. One must remember that until only recent times new 7 inch tyres of the specification were impossible to find and remade parts were not in production. The scooter was sought out in Italy by avid collector and perfectionist Craig Robinson who acted fast to secure this fine example circa 2013. Our vendor was able to acquire it in 2021.We were able to see the scooter in full working condition at the time of consignment and as one can see from the photographs and accompanying video the condition is exceptional. These 1940s Lambrettas are tipped for rocketing collectability in the future and good examples are becoming hard to find and seldom come onto the market. Also supplied with the scooter is an exact replica handbook as reproduced by Tino Sacchi and the original sales brochure in first reprint with the number stamp which is also collectible in itself.

The wheels were increased to 8 inch as opposed to the previous 7 inch, a larger fuel tank, more efficient suspension and the adoption of a Teleflex hand gear change instead of the previous foot change system. Around 37,000 were produced in total in the 15 months the B was in production.This 1949 example was first registered in Milan the home city of the Lambretta and is supplied with its original Italian Milano ‘Targa’ number plate. Now UK registered to use on the roads here. It is roughly mid production and has the glass rear light lens (later models had plastic) and the bakelite Model A type light switch on the headlight. It is extremely original and on examination of the photographs one will see this. According to the vendor the fuel tank was cleaned internally, the carburettor was electrostatically cleaned and the scooter was fired with new tyres and fuel tap. The original flywheel was re-magnetised and the whole system is standard and still on original 6v electrics. The coil was replaced with a NOS original. The sooner had not been started for some considerable time but we were able to see it briefly running at the time of consignment. It will probably need another fuel service after not being used for some time. The seats are in good usable condition the rear one being an aftermarket accessory seat. The scooter also comes with an original user manual in Italian (not a copy) which is a valuable document in itself.

Consequently, all motorcycles available to the public in 1917 and 1918 were essentially rebranded versions of the existing 1916 models, while newly manufactured machines were exclusively allocated for military use. Sunbeam motorcycles, powered by a robust 8hp JAP motor, earned a reputation as "heavyweights" designed for towing sidecars, a notable achievement for the time. Serving admirably in military roles during the Great War and later demonstrating their versatility in civilian and commercial settings, this engine remained integral to Sunbeam motorcycles until 1923.This 1917 Sunbeam 8HP was originally produced for the Russian Army but was never used and ended up in civilian use. This particular Sunbeam on offer was found in a coal bunker with parts laid around it. It seems that someone started a restoration years ago before the project stalled. This would make an interesting project for someone to carry on and complete with just a few examples of this model known to exist. Most parts appear to be there, but other parts will need to be gathered to finish the project. All parts that are offered with the machine can be seen in the photographs. It is being offered with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

This is the latest project from a line of restorations that include several British and Japanese motorcycles and cars. This original K0 variant had been imported from South Dakota in the USA and required a full restoration. The mileometer had just over 12,000 miles displayed which is believed to be accurate based on the fact that there was very little wear to the engine. The bike was fully stripped down and all parts were examined, restored or replaced. There is a huge library of receipts amounting to thousands of pounds from reputable retailers and Honda specialists.The renovation has been completed to the original US specification, such as retaining the slightly higher (and very comfortable) handlebars so that it remains true to its original specification (the K0 was not originally imported to the UK). After measuring the bores it was confirmed that the engine had not been bored out previously and the bores were in perfect condition. The top end was rebuilt using high quality parts including new pistons and rings and the bottom end was inspected and found to be in good order. The carburettors were stripped, ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt using new jets and needles. The frame and its components were sent away for powder coating, the head stock bearings were replaced and forks refurbished including new seals and stanchions. The electrical system was fully overhauled and the switchgear renovated. A new battery was fitted and an Optimate lead installed to maintain the battery through the winter if the bike isn't being used. The chain and sprockets were replaced with good quality D.I.D components. All the chrome work was re-chromed at Howells of Walsall which is a business held in high regard within the classic vehicle restoration world. The wheels were refurbished with new rims and spokes and new tyres and tubes in the original sizes. The wheel bearings were replaced and brakes fully overhauled with the rear brake drum skimmed due to slight ovality.Most importantly, the vendor managed to acquire a full set of new old stock Honda HM323 exhausts at great expense which were still in the original boxes plus a new old stock petrol tank and side panels from a friend who had them in storage for a number of years. A local bodywork specialist who works for a number of British Superbike teams painted the tank and side panels in the original colour which looks beautiful especially when the sun is shining. The bike runs beautifully and has completed roughly 200 miles since restoration and is now ready to be enjoyed throughout the Summer. The vendor is planning to ride the bike to the auction venue and it comes supplied with numerous receipts and a current V5C.

The engine was an air-cooled twin, four-stroke. The XS 500C was the revamped-for-1976 model and came with something resembling more style and better durability. The first models had some problems with warping valve seats, so later cylinder heads were changed to round exhaust ports to help the heat dissipate.This 1977 Yamaha XS 500 (believed to be the C model) has had a full restoration at a total of £15,414.19 during 2013. The XS 500 has since been featured in the classic bike guide with a seven-page spread. This is a UK-supplied machine from new and was registered on the 1st of October 1977 is a rare survivor today in this condition. Used by the current vendor during the summer months only and has been in winter storage. We have been advised that Yamaha will need the usual checks before placing back on the road.

Harley epitomizes large-capacity cruisers that many have tried to copy but have never managed to match Harley's image and prestige. The Sportster range has been produced continuously since 1957, powered by the classic air-cooled V-twin engine in a nice simple chassis. In 1991 the model was given a facelift including the adoption of a five-speed gearbox and belt final drive.This one owner from new Sportster, being offered at no reserve, was bought by the vendor from Warrs Harley Davidson, Europe's oldest Harley dealer, in April 1991.

In a remarkable recovery effort, production resumed at an old foundry works in Warwick, which commenced the manufacturing of motorcycles in June 1941. Tailored explicitly for military use, the 3HW drew its lineage from the pre-war 3H model. Noteworthy changes included a rocker box integrated with the head, a departure from the pre-war machines that featured separate rocker boxes. Approximately 40,000 units of the 3HW were manufactured to support wartime endeavours. These motorcycles played a vital role in various campaigns, with notable deployments in North Africa, India, and Greece. Impressively versatile, the 3HW became an integral asset to the Greek Army, remaining in service until 1952, underscoring its enduring reliability and strategic significance in military operations.This Triumph 3HW has been restored to a good standard to full army specification. Great attention to detail has been applied by the restorer of this machine. It has been in short-term storage in the house and was running very well before then. The current vendor obtained an appropriate British Army uniform that accompanies, as seen in the pictures. It comes complete with a dating letter from the late Mike Worthington Williams, a current V5C and receipts for parts.

A hugely successful model for Piaggio for almost 40 years but the end of the line was near and when the last stock was sold and no more 2 stroke PX models were to be produced. Production of the P range ended completely in early 2017 as the engine would fail to meet Euro 4 compliance emission requirements. During the production run there were several variations on the theme and one of them the COSA embraced the late 1980s style of the day and included some interesting technical variations. The first version COSAs were introduced in 1988 with a modified clutch that was easier to use than the P200. It had a modified tail light and a seat lock located on the side of the wider saddle. It had a more powerful engine than the P range and new instrumentation including a rev counter. It had a more streamlined shape than the P range and small improvements included the recessed indicators. The main safety difference was hydraulic brakes distributed through both wheels by an hydraulic circuit and a pressure regulator. The COSA 2 launched in 1992 uprated the brakes even further with an EBD device to prevent the brakes locking. The saddle had 2 offset levels with the pillion sitting higher.This Cosa Series 2 was purchased by our vendor in 1995 from a neighbour in almost new condition with only 3,843 miles on the speedometer. He never used. It was put into a barn and forgotten until now. The MOT from 1993 and the current mileage confirm in our opinion the low mileage as correct. It is showing signs of having stood for some time but is rust-free showing some scratches from being moved. No attempt was made to start the scooter at the time of consignment. Interestingly the Cosa is the model of the year for 2024 of The Vespa Club of Britain and the one used on the 2024 badges is the same colour as this example!

It is the first Japanese motorcycle with a liquid-cooled engine. The prototype Suzuki GT750 was shown at the 17th Tokyo Motor Show in October 1970 and launched in Japan in September 1971 as a sports tourer and was developed from the Suzuki T500 with an extra cylinder and liquid cooling. Marketed as the Le Mans in the US and Canada, it was nicknamed the "Kettle" in Britain, the "Water Bottle" in Australia, and the "Water Buffalo" in the United States. The first model year (1972), the GT750J, had a double-sided, twin-leading shoe, 200mm drum front brake with 180mm drum rear. The Exhaust Coupler Tube System (ECTS) that connected the left- and right-side exhausts together was designed to boost low-end torque. Carburettors were 32mm Mikuni slide type and the power output was 67bhp at 6,500This 1972 Suzuki GT750 J model is in mostly original condition for its age. A US import machine that has been ‘gone-through’, it is described by the vendor as being ‘in good running order’. The Suzuki has its original exhaust system and is in good condition.

However, due to riders' disdain for this colour scheme, many of these 'Tangerine Dream' models remained unsold and were rebranded as 1960 models by dealerships. Triumph responded by introducing a Royal Blue option before the model year concluded, which proved more popular. Remarkably, the once-disliked 1959 T120 Bonnevilles in Tangerine Orange have now become highly sought-after collectibles.This 1959 Triumph Bonneville T120 ‘Tangerine Dream’ was manufactured on the 25th of September 1959. The records do not show where it was despatched. It was restored around ten years ago to a good standard and has not been used much since its completion. The current vendor purchased the T120 about four years ago with the intent of riding it, but sadly due to his age, he never got around to it.

What needed to be done was done, the engine and gearbox were stripped and rebuilt to Ducati's specifications, and the vendor knows the owner Rich Llewellin very well, so extra details were done. It benefits from Ohlins forks rear shocks, Marchini Mas wheels, and Termi exhaust. The machine will need to be run-in by its new owner. Rich Llewellin from Louigi Moto can back up the work carried out. It comes complete with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

New Imperial made innovative motorcycles that employed unit construction and sprung heel frames long before they became commonplace, and were moderately successful in competition. The 1920s were a financially successful decade, enabling the innovations of the 1930s that fought decline. New Imperial suffered financially from the sales-destroying Great Depression of the 1930s, and then the founder died in 1938. New Imperial was sold, and sold again, and then ended production in late 1939, its former facilities subsequently serving the needs of a nation at war.This little New Imperial Model 23 was believed to have been restored in the 1990s. Very little is known of its history but was purchased some 20+ years ago by the vendor for his collection. The registration number shown does not belong to this machine.

One of several motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham, Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs were commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid-1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc world championship titles.Whilst many Velocette designs were OHC, especially their race bikes, in 1933, the decision was made to develop a cheaper to produce OHV engine and the first model was the 250cc MOV with a fully enclosed valve train. This little Velocette MOV was restored by a group of Velocette enthusiasts during the recent pandemic, once the lockdown was lifted they all got together to complete the restoration. There have been many new parts fitted during the restoration with a full engine rebuild, and magneto rewound. The current vendor has enjoyed the MOV and has advised it runs as it should. It is being offered complete with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a push-bike with a clip-on engine. By the '60s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The unfaired Monster began as a styling exercise in 1992, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, and it took time to convince the management at Ducati to build it. The model became an immediate success and has gone down in history as the bike that saved Ducati due to its popularity and cheap development costs with over 300,000 having been produced. Whilst the Monster was initially conceived as a low cost entry model, the S4 range placed the 4 valve water cooled engine from the 996 sports bike in a trellis chassis featuring state of the art suspension and braking.This S4R has been part of a private collection for a few years and is only being sold now to give the vendor more space for his other projects. Offered in good original condition including its genuine Ducati ZDM-33/34 stamped end cans it will make an interesting and quick bike to ride whilst still appreciating in value. It had new tyres and a brake overhaul including new Brembo front disc in 2022, not doing many miles since, and a new battery and fuel pump at the beginning of March this year. Run recently it comes supplied with a paddock stand, some receipts, old MOTs, a current MOT until August 2024, its original tool kit and owners manuals together with a V5C.

Always innovative they were very successful in Grand Prix racing with products as diverse as the 350cc horizontal single that won five world championships in a row to the incredible 500c V8. The Lodola, featuring a lightweight 175cc OHC single cylinder engine was company founder and original designer Carlo Guzzi's last design before his death in the early 1960s.This well presented Lodola has been part of a Moto Guzzi enthusiast private collection for the last few years. Dated as a 1957/58 model it is Moto Giro d’Italia eligible in the Rievocazione Storica or Historic re-enactment class. Purchased by a previous owner in 2006, he then gave it a full engine/gearbox and mechanical overhaul including a rebore, new piston, new bearings and seals throughout in preparation for the 2008 Giro d’Italia.

An initial diversification into 4-wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. Better known for their two strokes in 1977 Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with Japanese build quality and performance levels. The GSX range appeared in the early 1980s matching together Suzuki's bulletproof bottom end with 4 valves per cylinder. The legendary GSX1100 was one of the most powerful bikes of the day and became the starting point for many 'streetfighter' and drag race specials.This rare unmodified GSX1100E musclebike is the ultimate expression of Suzukis air cooled 4 stroke range before they moved onto oil and then water cooling. Whilst a powerful bike in its day, there was plenty of scope left for tuning in its over-engineered motor so very few have survived in standard trim. This bike has been part of a private collection for a while and is only being sold to make space in the vendors garage. Run recently (see video) it may need a new battery before use and whilst fitted with a Cobra 4 into 1, it comes with a genuine and rare black chrome 4 into 2 exhaust system. Also included are 20 old MOTs, some receipts, a magazine featuring the model, an MOT until August this year and a current V5C.

The new model did not introduce any new innovations but was innovative in introducing them as a package. Four-cylinder power-plants, electric starting, 12v electrical systems and disc brakes had all been seen before, as had 120mph performance and oil-tight engines but no machine before the CB750 had incorporated all of these features at the same time.This very well-presented 1979 Honda CB750 was restored a few years ago by the previous owner to a very high standard. It was used and enjoyed by him until the current vendor purchased it in 2020 and has formed part of a small collection of machines. The Honda has been used and was one of the vendor's favourites. Used until the autumn of last year and has since been in winter storage, with some light recommissioning before use. It is offered with a current V5C and 2 sets of keys.

Sporadic production continued throughout the Pioneer period and by the 1920s they had a range of single cylinder side valve models featuring either two or three speed gearboxes and belt or chain final drive as well as a flat twin. Their machines quickly established an enviable reputation for reliability, enhanced in 1924 by Hugh Gibson's successful circuit of the British coast on a Raleigh combination and Marjorie Cottle's reverse circuit of the same route on a solo. Production continued until 1933 when the company ceased motorcycle production to concentrate on their pedal powered products.This stunningly presented 2 ¾ HP two speed belt drive Model 1 was actually recovered from a hedge in 1987 by the enthusiast vendor. As you can imagine it was in quite a state but it was extensively renovated with love and precision by the current owner, an engineer, and thoroughly enjoyed by him and his wife winning prizes at many classic events such as the Chipping Steam Fair. It is thought that very few have survived and the bike was re-registered on its original number in 2002 with the help of Michael Worthington-Williams once the restoration was complete. It comes with quite a selection of spare parts including a fuel tank, exhaust, rims, boxes of mechanical parts and what appears to be the best part of another engine as well as a pillion seat. There is also an extensive box file full of receipts and information about the rebuild together with various bits of technical information and a current V5C.

The legendary inline 4 cylinder CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike, but Honda always liked to push the boundaries with different layouts. The transverse vee twin CX500 was such a model and after initial teething problems built up an enviable reputation for durability, becoming the despatch riders weapon of choice.This 1979 CX500 Custom model was imported from the USA in 2016 and bought by the vendor who then started a long-term project to build a one-off ‘brat-bike’ using many new parts to create an unusual and distinctive special. The frame and swinging arm have been powder-coated in Bronze with the bodywork refinished in two-tone Bronze and Gold and a new speedo and tacho fitted. A pair of bespoke mudguards have been modelled together with a tan-coloured seat to create that all-important cut-down look. The chassis is finished off with a pair of Ohlins rear shocks and a neat little tool bag that sits behind the engine. A labour of love, the vendor has spent a fortune and many hours to build this bike, dry stored over the winter it will need recommissioning before use.

They had a larger rear light and a more angular modern shape than the VBB. Made from 1965 up until 1979 they were arguably the best selling Vespa scooter of all across the world until the P range. There were numerous changes over the VBB overall including; larger brake shoes and drums and ignition. It was a competent scooter with over half a million sold in the long production run.This 150 Super was purchased by our vendor around 5 years ago and he has recently had a £500 Vespatronic kit upgraded and fitted with an auxiliary ignition switch (next to the choke lever) by Steve Gregory of the well-regarded VMS (Vintage Motor Scooters). At some point the wheels have been converted to 10 inch and these work well and are fitted with quality Continental tyres. The serial numbers for frame and engine are however correct, so this is not a replacement engine. Nicely presented in gloss black the scooter did start quite easily after 3 years of non-use although a little smoky as the fuel was old. With fresh fuel it should run well in our opinion. Our consultant was able to ride the scooter on the road and all appeared to work as it should. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

A number of models were tested for suitability and the Triumph Model H was selected. With the rear wheel driven by a belt, the Model H was fitted with a 499cc air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine. It was also the first Triumph not to be fitted with pedals, so was a true motorcycle.This Triumph Model H has been in the hands of its last owner since 2013 and has been enjoyed since its ownership.

The scooter was discovered by Douglas managing Director Claude McCormack when the struggling company was in the hands of the official receiver. The Vespa presented itself as a solution to the companies problems and a deal was made with Piaggio to begin production of the Vespa under licence in Britain starting with the ‘Rod model’ launched in March 1951. Piaggio soon regretted this decision and consequently Douglas under-performed and was several years behind the Italian models until the late 1950’s when parity was almost made. The result in today’s international collectors market is that British built Douglas Vespas have in recent times emerged with a special rarity status.The Supreme was one of three special edition Sportiques made by Douglas in Bristol. The Sportique itself was almost identical to the Piaggio VBB with a reliable 150cc motor using many Piaggio supplied Italian parts and sporting an attractive GS style clam shaped 60 MPH speedometer. The ‘Grand Luxe’ ‘Grand Tourer’ and ‘Supreme’ were all unique designs built from 1962 to 1965. The Supreme was supplied in bespoke silver paint with chrome side panels and front mudguard from new in keeping with the ‘Mod’ demand at the time.This Supreme was originally registered in Taunton, Somerset on 20th April 1964. A new keeper in 1974 a Thomas Cole from Bath and then a John Lewis of Radstock. It has obviously been overpainted but some effort has been made to reveal the original paint and this could be continued. The result could potentially be a unique patina. The chrome panels are still showing some chrome evidence and a similar outcome could be achieved. It is evident that the scooter has had a sidecar fitted in its life and the top fitting bracket is still attached. There is one hole in the floor where the lower sidecar bracket would have been. Other than that it is very solid generally all over. There is a high level of originality including: Douglas D handgrips, original speedometer, lights are original, seat and badges. The front Douglas badge is also original and just needs the remaining overpaint scraped off. The cylinder head and exhaust are missing however there are some parts supplied and replacement parts for these engines are not difficult to source.

It was at the 1921 French Grand Prix that the marque's soon to be famous long-stroke side-valve engine clocked up a debut win for rider Alec Bennett. Powering Sunbeam road machines, this legendary motor was then to remain in production until WW2.This 1926 Sunbeam Model 7 was restored by the previous owner to a good standard, since its completion it has been used on many vintage events since. The engine was rebuilt by Chris Odling. The Sunbeam benefits from the hard to find four speed gearbox. The current vendor has advised us the Sunbeam is running very well and has lots of power when needed. The sidecar was manufactured by Grindlay and is a rare survivor today, this was restored at the same time as the Sunbeam. It comes complete with a current V5C, a file with receipts for parts and work carried out and a dating certificate from the Marston Sunbeam Club.

Registration No: ERH 70T Frame No: RC012007094 Engine No: OIE82003200 CC: 748 MOT: ExemptIn good all round conditionSome service history on filePart of a collectionCurrent V5C on fileThe Honda CB750 was an air-cooled, transverse, in-line four-cylinder engined motorcycle made by Honda over several generations for model years 1969–2003 as well as 2007, with an upright riding posture. It is often called the original Universal Japanese Motorcycle. Though other manufacturers had marketed the transverse, overhead camshaft, inline four-cylinder engine configuration and the layout had been used in racing engines prior to World War II, Honda popularized the configuration with the CB750, and the layout subsequently became the dominant sport bike engine layout. The CB750 is thought to be the first motorcycle to be called a "superbike".On offer is a 1979 Honda CB750K, described as in good all-around condition for its age, it has formed part of a collection of machines and has had little use in the last year. It comes complete with some service history, one key and a current V5C, handbook and some service history. Some recommissioning will be required before use.
