1958 Ariel FH Huntmaster Bike Year: 1958 Bike Make: Ariel Bike Model: FH Huntmaster Bike Reg No.: 786 GKX Bike Frame No.: CAPR11074 Bike Engine No.: CNF4967 Bike Colour: Maroon Ariel ` One of the first manufacturers of British motorcycles, founded by the Dunlop Tyre Co. in 1897, and a well respected name synonymous with sturdy well built machines although not many of which were revolutionary, exciting, chrome laden or exuberantly finished products. Ariel, excepting the `Squariel` 4 cylinder and later two stroke sensations Arrow and Leader, for more than a half century produced the widest range of conventional motorcycles on offer from any manufacturer, before being assimilated into the BSA group. Never a company to make exaggerated performance claims they had significant success in offroad events, rather than racing, which emphasised the rugged nature of the standard road machinery. One of the exceptions to the staid image of the marque would be the Huntmaster FH variant produced between 1954-60. An attractive, easily handled, man sized, 97 mph. 650 twin this model was built around the basic components of the BSA A10 Gold Flash engine, none the worse for that, but however still somehow remaining very much an Ariel. This particular bike is a 1958 model purchased by the vendor in 2006 for his own use and still in substantially the same condition as bought, although subsequently given a full service. According to information on hand from the VMCC and Ariel o/c 786 GKX was originally supplied in what was termed `Ex - Sport Glamour` specification, which meant bright red tanks and guards for export markets, although this bike appears to be one of only 16 or so which found their way onto the home market. A V5 registration document, tax disc and MOT certificate dating from 1990 are available for inspection along with the information above. Seemingly in very original and sound condition and still in possession of all the difficult to source panels, although these have at some time being repainted in a more sober Ariel maroon colour scheme, this bike could, with careful recommissioning and light restoration easily be made suitable for use by a new owner.

1960 Velocette Venom Bike Year: 1960 Bike Make: Velocette Bike Model: Venom Bike Reg No.: TSY 204 Bike Frame No.: RS14476 Bike Engine No.: VM4129 Bike Colour: Black Velocette`s Venom, is thought by many to be a far superior machine to any other on the road, and they may be right. Others will say the damned things are far too difficult to start, awkward to maintain, old fashioned and list a host of other somewhat mythical faults and idiosyncrasies some of which are true, any of which will be overlooked or forgiven by a true Velo enthusiast. Idiosyncratic? Certainly! But the black (sometimes red, blue or green) and gold striped beauty flying past barking its unmistakeable exhaust note through that lovely massive chrome fishtail silencer are a sight and sound likely to turn many a hard nosed motorcycle cynic, as regards the Grt. Brit. M/c. Ind. in particular, into a nostalgic romantic. You will have guessed that your scribbler is a Velo fan. The 500cc Venom came into being together with it`s 350 Viper sibling in 1956. At that time the MAC 350cc (ride-to-workhorse), Viper 350 (sweet sporty single underpowered for its chassis), MSS 500c (softly tuned comfy tourer), Venom 500cc and variants Clubman and Thruxton ( traditional big high performance singles) gave Velocette a range of machines capable of mixing it with anything the big boys could offer. It`s early history is not known but TSY204 is a Venom from the 1960 model year, purchased by the vendor in Maine USA around 1993 in very rough and incomplete condition. It was repatriated to UK in large lumps and subsequently restored at great expense, using much stainless and parts mainly sourced at Seymour`s, by 1996. The machine is fitted with the desirable prefix 12 / R gearbox option and comes complete with V5 and VELO O/C dating letter. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1952 Vincent Comet Series C Bike Year: 1952 Bike Make: Vincent Bike Model: Comet Series C Bike Reg No.: 374 XUU Bike Frame No.: RC/1/10422/C Bike Engine No.: F5AB/2A/8522 Bike Colour: Red It was said , by some who should know, that Philip Vincent`s 500cc single cylinder Comet, compared to the eponymous 1000cc v twin, was ``half the size-half the appeal-half the price``, that it was the Marmite motorcycle (you either love it or loathe it) and that one would be better off with a Matchless G80. These points can be argued about `til the bovines return. Apart that is from the fact that in the current market a Comet will set you back less than a third of the price of the average Vincent twin, which makes them a relative bargain. Cash the ISA`s in and get one now! Re-introduced in 1948 with the new Girdraulic forks, Burman transmission supplying power to similar frame and running gear from the twins, the post war series C Comet is still a worthy motorcycle in it`s own right and certainly enjoys some of the glamour and mystique of it`s big siblings. This Comet, one of the later models made in 1952, is thought to be one of 17 finished in red and supplied to the North American market. Purchased by the vendor in 2000 in Maine USA and shipped back to UK in parts, the machine has been substantially restored, although a little work remains to perfect the refurbishment. The machine has matching numbers, an expired MOT, Vincent o/c authentication form and V5 registration document 374 XUU, there is also an accompanying box of further information.

Harvey (William). Exercitationes de generatione animalium. Quibus accedunt quaedam, De partu: De membranis ac humoribus uteri: et De conceptione, 1st edition, Du Gard for O. Pulleyn, 1651, engraved frontispiece facing (to recto and facing pi1 as sometimes, see Keynes) of Jove seated on a pedestal and holding in his hands an egg inscribed ex ova omnia`, a little trimmed at lower foremargin with loss of rule border, engraved head-pieces and initials throughout, first and last blank and that at C4 all present, ownership signature of Joesph Bromehead on title with his manuscript note to frontispiece verso Editio princeps`, ownership signature of J[ohn] Braxton Hicks dated 1866 to front pastedown and with small presentation bookplate from Hicks to the BMI pasted to initial blank recto, contemporary sheep gilt, rebacked with original spine relaid, some edge wear, 4to (214 x 160mm) After the publication of De motu cordis, Harvey turned his attention to the study of generation. Even if Harvey had not discovered the circulation of the blood, his remarkable work on embryology would have placed him in the front ranks of biological scientists. Without benefit of the compound microscope, his work was necessarily limited; nevertheless, nothing comparable had been done since Aristotle. He disbelieved the previously-held doctrine of `preformation` of the foetus, maintaining instead that it proceeds from the ovum by gradual building up of its parts. Always slow to publicize his findings, Harvey was only after some years persuaded by his friend, Sir George Ent, to put them into print. The first edition was published in London in 1651, followed by three Amsterdam editions of the same year` (Heirs of Hippocrates 436: 1st Amsterdam edition, 1651). G-M 467; Keynes, Harvey, 34; Norman 1011; PMM 127. Wing 1091. Provenance: Joseph Bromehead (1748-1826), was educated at Queen`s College, Oxford (BA 1768, MA 1771), and served as Curate of Eckington, Derbyshire, until his death. He wrote hymns and also published The Melancholy Student, An Elegiac Poem` (1769) and An Oration on the Utility of Public Infirmaries: Occasioned by the opening of the Radcliffe Infirmary at Oxford` (1772). John Braxton Hicks FRCP, FRS (1823-1897). (1)

His cabinet of anatomical specimens, displayed in surreal landscapes, in houses in Amsterdam became a major tourist attraction, the entire collection bought by Tsar Peter the Great in 1717. (12)
