Registration No: VVU 175S Chassis No: GAN6202499G MOT: T.B.A • Residing in current ownership for 36 years (since 1988) • Modest mileage of just 74,500 miles from new • Benefitting from significant mechanical improvement during the vendor's ownership • Offered with a good history file The need to comply with forthcoming US safety legislation saw MG revise the design of its Midget sportscar for the final time in 1974. Entering showrooms that October, the resultant MkIV version (as it was unofficially known) was immediately recognisable courtesy of its impact-absorbing 'rubber bumpers'. Far better integrated than the similar contrivances found on other American market cars (think Mercedes-Benz W107 SL), the weight penalty they incurred was more than offset by the adoption of a new 1500cc engine. Sourced from the Triumph Spitfire together with an all-synchromesh gearbox, it gave the Midget a notable boost in performance. Capable of over 100mph and known for its tidy handling, the MkIV was well received by the press and public alike. Manufactured in 1977, the Midget offered was despatched on the 2nd of December that year to main agents Lookers Limited of Manchester, being registered new in early 1978. Finished from the factory in Tahiti Blue paintwork, the MG was specified from new with Rosytle wheels and features a Black interior trim, Black hood, and Black tonneau cover. Passing through five keepers during the first ten years of its life before being purchased by the vendor in 1988 with some 43,000 miles on the odometer. Retained by the vendor thereafter, the Midget is now only coming to sale due to ill health, and is offered with just some 74,500 miles from new. Improved throughout the vendor's custodianship, ‘VVU 175S’ has received an engine overhaul that has included an unleaded cylinder head, piston rings and big end bearings, timing chain, alloy rocker cover, Kenlowe fan, fuel pump and water pump, as well as brake and clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. Further enhanced with new stub axle assemblies, wishbone pans, drop links, and rear leaf springs, the MG has also received a braking overhaul with new brake pads and shoes, rear brake cylinders, and front calipers. Garaged throughout the vendor's ownership and reputedly used on dry days only, the MG features a stainless steel boot rack, roll bar, 1977 push button radio, stainless steel exhaust, spotlights, sun visors, double duck hood, and is accompanied by a spares package. Offered with a good history file that comprises a BMIHT Heritage Certificate, a large collection of MOTs back to 1986, numerous previous invoices, owner’s handbook, tax discs, and a current V5C document. Temptingly offered without reserve, the MG is offered from long-term ownership and with modest mileage. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

The RD350 is a two-stroke motorcycle produced by Yamaha from 1973 to 1975. It evolved directly from the piston port (pre-reed valve intake tract), front drum-braked, five-speed Yamaha 350 cc "R5". The engine is an air-cooled, parallel twin, six-speed (in some markets, such as the UK, the first model was sold in five-speed form), reed valve-equipped intake tract two-stroke engine. The bike is usually referred to as a sport bike. The stock bike made 39 bhp at 7500 rpm very fast for the time. A contemporary of the RD is the Kawasaki H2 750cc Triple that produced 74 bhp.This 1974 example imported from the USA in 2019, is presented in Ruby Red with a touch of pin stripe. A matching numbers example with a mileage of 14,157 it is described as untouched but with a clean fuel tank which was checked when fully recommissioned recently.

Registration No: FHJ 486D Frame No: 1002391 MOT: ExemptAuthentically restored first version of the CB450Very original including DID stamped wheel rimsRare in the UK supplied with a current V5CThe Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world and have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other powered products. By the 1960s, they had taken over the go-to-work and learner-bike market and began to move on to larger-capacity bikes. The CB450, commonly known as the 'Black Bomber', was Honda’s range leader until the arrival of the trendsetting CB750 in 1968. This beautifully presented 1966 Black Bomber is thought to be an early KO model that spent its first 45 years in the dry climate of California. Restored by a previous owner with an emphasis on originality, even down to the retention of its DID-stamped wheel rims, it looks to have done very few miles since. Before restoration, the speedometer only showed 2,000 miles and according to him the condition of the engine internals backed this up. It has been part of an enthusiast’s private collection of ’50s and ’60s classic bikes for the last 13 years, all stored in a heated garage. Having stood for a while, it may need some recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

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 V-twin VTR1000, introduced in 1997, was built by Honda to compete with Ducati in the showroom and on the race track going on to win two World Superbike Championships for Colin Edwards in 2000 and 2002.This VTR is from a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history. The bike appears to have been an ongoing project and it has been refinished in a good quality Rothmans Racing replica paint scheme and fitted with a full Delkevic stainless steel 2-into-2 exhaust system that looks like it never been used. The headlamp is not fitted but comes supplied with the bike together with a spare wiring harness, a new carbon look rear light unit and a couple of spare dash boards. An interesting project to finish off and recommission it comes together with keys and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189
Registration No: HPR 172F Frame No: CD17510116085 MOT: ExemptAn ideal Honda projectEarly Honda CD175Turns over with compressionCurrent V5C on fileThe Honda Motor Co. was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest producer of bikes in the world, going on to manufacture over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other powered products from cars to lawnmowers. Mr. Honda himself never liked two-strokes so whilst the other Japanese manufacturers concentrated on them, Honda stuck to producing only four-strokes until the mid-1970s. The CD175 was the workhorse of the Honda range in the ’70s and gave a lot of future riders their first taste of motorcycling, its solid and robust design standing up to the abuse dished out by many learners. This little 1968 Honda CD175 was purchased by the late owner as a project to keep him busy, but due to too many other projects, he never got round to it. There are some parts missing, but it is mainly complete. It comes complete with a current V5C. Sold strictly as viewed and with no reserve.

Registration No: YFP 61S Frame No: CB550K2107404 MOT: ExemptFrom a collection of machinesSaid to have been running wellCurrent V5CThe Honda Motor Co. was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest producer of bikes in the world, going on to manufacture over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other powered products. The celebrated inline four-cylinder CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike, with a lighter-weight 500cc little brother following soon after, resurrecting memories of Mike Hailwood's Grand Prix bike of the late 1960s. The vendor purchased this Honda CB500/4 K3 for his motorcycle collection, and once it was home he went through it as per his custom. He sorted out a few little issues and got it running very well after the carburettors were cleared out. It is now being sold due to the dissolution of the collection and is offered with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world and have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other powered products. The legendary inline four-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 rider’s weapon of choice. This 1978 Honda CX500 was recently discovered in an old council lockup from a deceased estate. Not used for some time, it will need full recommissioning or restoration, or could make an ideal bobber project. It is being offered with a current V5C and a set of keys and is sold strictly as viewed and at no reserve. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 39M00473* MOT: N/ANicely restored mid 1980s Montesa 237cc trials modelIdeal for competing in twin shock, air-cooled eventsNever road registered so no documentsMontesa was formed in Barcelona 1944 by Pedro Permanyer and Francisco Xavier ‘Paco’ Bultó, with their first model based on a French Motobécane. They soon began to produce their own engines and saw the advantage of competing in sports events to promote the marque. Bultó designed a 125cc roadster, which was tested in many of the trials and off-road events that were popular in Spain at the time, and this model went on to enter the 1951 International Six Days Trial ridden by Bultó and G. Cavestany. In 1958, chief designer Bultó left, starting his own company under the Bultaco brand name, beginning many years of fierce competition between the two companies. Together with another Spanish firm, Ossa, they went on to dominate trials events in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, with Montesa winning numerous world championships. This Cota 242 has been restored by its enthusiast owner, maintaining a good degree of originality. He carried out a full engine overhaul including the crankshaft, piston and gearbox, with all bearings and seals replaced, the Nicasil bore replated and the engine cases powder-coated. The wheels have been rebuilt with alloy rims and fitted with new tyres, and all the cosmetics have been refinished. Displayed since the rebuild, it's a very attractive bike to look at and once recommissioned would make a competitive mount for competing in twin-shock and air-cooled classic trials events. It looks to have only had off-road use in the past so there are no documents included. *The engine and frame number are both hard to read under a thick layer of paint but appear to both be 39M 000473.

Registration No: P488 OMB Frame No: JH2SC33A6TM004984 MOT: NoneRestored by previous owner to a high standardDry stored in a showroom for the last 3 yearsSupplied with invoices, keys and a current V5CThe Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, going on to make over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The launch of the four-cylinder CB750 in 1969 ushered in the 'superbike' boom in the seventies and the arrival of the CBR900 Fireblade in 1992 set a new benchmark for sports bike performance. Now past its 30th Anniversary year, the very name 'Fireblade' still sets hearts racing. This stunningly presented Fireblade was authentically restored by its previous keeper who kept a fantastic degree of originality and then put it on display in his front room. The silencer end can is the original 'Sankie 2361' stamped item and the tyres are unused period correct Bridgestones. Bought by the vendor three years ago, the Honda has been cleaned / polished on a monthly basis whilst exhibited in his showroom preserving its ‘near as new’ condition. The Fireblade is certainly a future classic and this bike would grace any collection of 1990s race replica superbikes. It is offered with some history including invoices, 2 keys and a current V5C.

The CBR inline four-cylinder sports bike range was launched in the late 1980s and has gone on to win many world championships and TT races in production-based series. The Spanish oil company Repsol has been the main sponsor of Honda’s Grand Prix team for several years with riders such as Mick Doohan, Valentino Rossi, Nicky Hayden, Casey Stoner and Marc Marquez all winning world championships in their colours.This CBR600 is from a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history. It appears to have been an ongoing project and has been professionally refinished in Repsol Honda Grand Prix team colours. A lot of money has been spent on this bike including a Scorpion Titanium end can, new and unused wavy disc, a new front tyre, handlebar raisers and adjustable levers. The bike has been stood for a while so it will need some recommissioning and comes together with a very suitable registration number of 'F3 CBR' and a current V5C.

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. In 1958 the Honda Cub was released and has gone on to become the best-selling motorised vehicle ever produced with over 100 million sales in every corner of the world. The Cub was sold in 50cc, 70cc and 90cc engine sizes and could stake a claim for being the most important and influential motorized vehicle ever designed. To put things into context the Cub range has sold more individual units than the top three best selling cars combined! The C90 Cub may be the best selling vehicle of all time but not many have survived the rigors of serious go to work use and then the ignominy of becoming many future motorcyclists first field bike. This late model example is presented in remarkable unrestored condition still fitted, like nearly every other Cub in the day, with a Rickman style handlebar mounted screen. It was last MOTd in March 23 at around 11,000 miles and comes supplied with a current V5C. A rare survivor of one of the most important motorized vehicles ever made.

This stunning looking Katana was bought in 1988 by the vendor as only its second owner. Over the next 34 years he spent a fortune modifying the bike with top quality components, all documented in an extensive paperwork/photo file. The engine has been enlarged to 1260cc with a Wiseco big bore kit, GSX1100EF cylinder head and gearbox, Mikuni RS38 flat-sides, Dyna ignition and coils and an oil cooler all breathing out through a Yoshimura Titanium end can. The frame has been modified with mono-shock rear suspension sporting an Ohlins damper, WP upside down front forks, Dymag wheels, Brembo front disc, Spiegler 8 piston callipers and master cylinder along with numerous other bespoke items. This has been a labour of love for the vendor who at 74 years old has decided it now needs to move on to someone who can enjoy its incredible specification. Whilst heavily modified, the bike has kept the essence of the early ‘80s Katana and comes supplied with an extensive 47 page file and photos documenting its story on a memory stick, an MOT until 20-10-24 and a current V5C.
