Registration No: LKE 472E Chassis No: 458782 MOT: ExemptDesirable pre-1968 SWB model complete with correct 5-gauge dashboardCurrent ownership since c.2016 and imported and registered to the UK in 2018Subject to a bodywork restoration, repaint and engine overhaul in the current ownershipFitted with big bore piston and cast cylindersOffered with a current V5C and a collection of invoicesFirst appearing in July 1964, the birth of the 911 marked the end of 356-production. Customers immediately noticed the differences from its predecessor - but with many improvements came a large price increase - the 911 was around $2,000 more than the comparable 356 model. Thus, by April 1965 a "middle ground" was achieved. The new 912 (essentially a 911 with a four-cylinder 356 engine) was less expensive and customers quickly noticed better weight distribution and better economy. Eventually outselling the 911 in the years it was current, more than 30,000 had left the Stuttgart factory by the time production ceased in 1969. One particular change during 912 manufacture came in its final year, 1969, when the wheelbase was increased from 2211mm (SWB) to 2268mm (LWB). The engine and rear suspension stayed in the same position but the suspension trailing arms were lengthened. This necessitated the rear wheel arches being moved rearward too.A desirable pre-1968 SWB 912, complete with the correct 5-gauge dashboard, this example is a 1967 model year, built in the earlier production year of 1966 (from the (458782 chassis number). It has been in current ownership since c.2016 and subsequently imported and registered in the UK in 2018. It had been stored in the State of Ohio for 30 years, with its previous keeper.‘LKE 472E’ has been the subject of bodywork restoration, a repaint and engine overhaul in the current ownership. The bodywork was restored and repainted some 5 years ago, having been originally finished in the same Golf Blue paintwork. Engine-wise the engine was overhauled and fitted with a 1720cc big-bore piston kit with cast cylinders. Benefitting from Continental tyres all around, it has had attention to the braking system, including caliper pistons and pads, and is expected to be driven to the sale if the weather allows. It is offered with a current V5C, a small box of spares and a collection of invoices. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

c.1971 Ducati 350cc Racing MotorcycleEngine no. 12409Formerly owned and rebuilt by Rob Pearson, this Ducati 350 racer was purchased by the previous owner in 2009 via classic racing specialists, TGA. The owner had intended to race the Ducati but his plans changed and so the machine was offered for sale at Bonhams' Stafford auction in April 2012 (Lot 375) where it was purchased by the current owner (since deceased). At that time we said: 'Rebuilt with new bearings throughout, the engine is a MkIII 'wide case' incorporating a Carrillo con-rod; 30-32-30 crankpin with new bearing and thrust washers; 76.6mm Asso forged piston (11:1 compression ratio); fully gas-flowed head with 40mm diameter inlet and 36mm exhaust valves; new Colsibro valve guides; coil spring conversion; VeeTwo camshaft; and Pazo electronic ignition. Drive is transmitted via straight-cut primary gears and a rebuilt clutch to a standard Ducati five-speed gearbox. A 36mm Amal Concentric Mk2 smooth-bore carburettor delivers the mixture, which post-combustion exits via a Gibson high-level exhaust said to meet the usual noise regulations. The suspension consists of Marzocchi forks and Hagon adjustable shock absorbers, while the 18' alloy WM2 wheels are shod with virtually new Avon racing tyres. There is a Robinson double-sided twin-leading-shoe brake at the front and a 160mm Ducati stopper at the rear. The glassfibre fuel tank has been professionally treated to prevent ethanol damage.' Having been stored in controlled conditions and unused since purchase the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1990 M.R.D Rickman Métisse Aermacchi 350cc Racing Motorcycle Frame no. unnumberedEngine no. C327/C327•Built by MRD in 1990•Classic Manx Grand Prix finisher in 1991 and 1992•Present ownership for 20 years•Raced and paraded with the CRMC•Last used in 2019Rickman's first purpose-built road-racer came about following an approach from sponsor Tom Kirby, for whom the Rickmans built a frame to house the Matchless G50 engine. Kirby's star rider Bill Ivy won first time out on the new machine at Mallory Park in March 1966, defeating the cream of Britain's road-racing stars in the process. That Rickman should build a version to accommodate the horizontal Aermacchi single-cylinder engine was first suggested by rider/frame-maker Marly Drixl (of Drixton fame), who wanted to improve the handling of his stock Aermacchi racer. Accordingly, the Rickmans redesigned the frame's front down-tubes and engine cradle while leaving the rear part essentially unchanged. The result was a frame weighing in at 24lb, 4lb less than the original. The Rickman frame soon became a 'must have' for any competitor riding an Aermacchi. When the Rickmans gave up frame making, the rights to their designs passed in 1983/84 to Pat French's firm, MRD Métisse, which continued to cater for the increasing 'classic' market.Built by MRD in 1990, the Aermacchi Métisse offered here boasts Rickman 41.5mm forks; a Rickman front disc brake and Lockheed caliper; and a Yamaha TD2 rear drum brake. The engine incorporates original Aermacchi 350cc crankcases, cylinder barrel and head, while specification highlights include a Carrillo con-rod; 11.2:1 compression-ratio Omega piston (74.5mm bore); N6 cam with Stellite followers; straight-cut timing gears; Dyna twin-plug ignition; Amal 36mm smooth-bore carburettor; and racing valves, guides, springs, caps and collets. Power is transmitted via a bespoke straight-cut primary drive to a dry clutch. Other notable features include a Krober rev counter; alloy wheel rims (Borrani front, Dunlop rear); Avon tyres; Norton Lockheed brake lever/reservoir; and a custom Gibson exhaust.This machine raced in the 1991 Classic Manx Grand Prix, retiring from 7th place with a puncture (fastest lap 93.4mph). It also raced in the 1992 Classic Manx, finishing in 11th place. Outings in the 1993 and 1994 Classic Manx races both resulted in retirements. Thereafter the Aermacchi was raced and paraded with the Classic Racing Motorcycle Club until the 2020 season. It last ran in September 2019. Our vendor describes the machine as in generally excellent condition, benefiting from a new aluminium fuel tank, resprayed fairing and re-covered seat. A small selection of spares including clutch plates, sprockets, spark plugs, cables/pipes, valves, etc is included in the sale. The machine is offered with a CRMC Registration Certificate for Group 1 Period 2; a photograph of it competing in the Manx Grand Prix; and some details noted down by the previous owner.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

2017 Avinton 1,647cc Collectors GTRegistration no. AV67 DMYFrame no. VF9CK0000139610057Engine no. UA00003•Rare and exclusive hand-made 'muscle bike'•Built to the owner's personal specifications•S&S v-twin engine•Only premium quality chassis components used•Fewer than 1,000 miles covered from new•Well documentedHeaded by French engineer Cedric Klein, Avinton Motorcycles specialises in made-to-order muscle bikes. For this particular Avinton model, customers could choose from six different specifications and three alternative riding positions; it is highly unlikely that there are two bikes exactly identical. Our vendor selected the Collector GT version, which has a slightly higher handlebar position for comfort, and opted for the highest specification for all other components. He was invited to the factory in France to check on the build's progress.Avinton's Collector GT is powered by an American-built 1,647cc S&S Super Stock v-twin engine producing 120bhp and 123ft/lb of torque. Belt primary drive transmits the power via an Evolution clutch to an Andrews five-speed cassette gearbox. The engine is a stressed member of the large-diameter tubular frame. There is a bespoke aluminium alloy swinging arm, while the suspension is courtesy of Öhlins at both ends; the steering damper likewise comes from the famous Swedish firm. Beringer six-piston callipers grip the twin floating front brake discs, while there is a single disc with four-pot calliper at the rear. The Avinton rolls on Marchesini Racing forged alloy wheels, finished in gold.Built to the vendor's specifications in 2017, the Avinton bristles with special features: the 'tank' does not contain any fuel (the reservoir is in the tail section behind the seat), while the oil is contained within the frame. Hand made, the exhaust system combines carbon fibre and stainless steel, and carbon fibre is also used for both mudguards. All other fittings are either made by hand or selected from the world's foremost components suppliers.Offered for sale by the original owner, this stunning creation has covered fewer than 1,000 miles since it left the factory and is presented in commensurately good condition, barely run-in. Not surprisingly, the owner reports that the bike never fails to draw a crowd. Very few were made, and it's pretty much guaranteed you'll never park next to another one.Accompanying documentation consists of V5C Registration Certificate and a folder of information including photographs of the Avinton under construction; original sales catalogues; the original build sheet/invoice itemising the specification; and instruction books for the Öhlins suspension and the installed BikeTrac alarm/tracker. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1954 Norton 350cc 'Model 40 International'Registration no. KFZ 1517Frame no. J122/56562Engine no. 58607One of the most charismatic model names in motorcycling, 'International' was first used by Norton for its top-of-the-range sports roadster in 1932. All new, the Inter's overhead-camshaft engine had been developed in the works racers over the preceding two years and retained Norton's classic 79x100mm bore/stroke dimensions. By the time production halted in 1939 the Inter was being built with a four-speed foot-change gearbox and plunger rear suspension, reappearing postwar in similar guise save for the hydraulically-damped Roadholder front fork, which replaced the pre-war girder. The Inter would remain fundamentally unchanged until 1953 when it gained the race-developed Featherbed frame, all-alloy engine and 'laid down' 'box. Built in 2011/2012, this Norton 'special' consists of a 1954 International alloy engine in a 1954 Dominator 88 rolling chassis with extended oil tank. We are advised the cylinder head has been refurbished with new valves, guides and valve springs, while the crankshaft was fitted with a new big-end bearing by Norton International specialist Stu Rogers. In addition, Manx cams and a new piston/rings were fitted; the magneto refurbished; and the electrics rewired. Other notable features include an Amal TT carburettor; alloy wheel rims with stainless spokes; Bob Newby racing clutch and belt drive; Avon SM tyres; and a Gold Star silencer. Last run in March 2024, the machine is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.

1971 Yamaha 347cc R5Registration no. TNB 412JFrame no. R5-028469Engine no. R5-028469The traditional British method of building a 350 - to sleeve down a 500 - usually resulted in an overweight sluggard with little more performance than a 250. The customary Japanese approach - over-boring a 250 - achieved exactly the opposite: a machine as light as its quarter-litre sibling yet with sufficient performance to see off most 500s. Yamaha's YR5 is a case in point: an over-bored YDS7, it weighed a little over 300lbs, produced 36bhp from its piston-ported two-stroke engine, and was good for around 100mph. The cycle parts bore close resemblance to the TD2 and TR3 racers', so good handling was assured. Produced between 1971 and 1973, the YR5 was superseded by the reed-valve induction RD350.Originally destined for the US market, this charming R5 was won in a competition by the current vendor last year and has been dry stored since. Sadly little of its previous history is known but is offered with a current V5C, VJMC dating letter and current MoT until May 2024.Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1923 BSA 4¼hp Model H2Registration no. SG 7240Frame no. B6066Engine no. 7725The first motorcycles made by the Birmingham Small Arms Company in the early 1900s used proprietary engines such as the Belgian Minerva, and it was not until 1910 that the firm introduced a model entirely of its own design and manufacture. The first to feature the marque's distinctive green and cream tank colours was a 499cc (3½hp) sidevalve single, built initially with single-speed, belt-drive transmission and later with a three-speed countershaft gearbox. Well engineered and equally well made, this first BSA proved an enormous success and changed little over the next few years, though for 1912 a two-speed hub gear was available together with an all-chain drive model suitable for sidecar work. For 1914 the range was augmented by a 557cc (4¼hp) long-stroke version featuring a strengthened frame and the new three-speed gearbox, which was designated Model K if fitted with chain-cum-belt transmission or Model H with fully enclosed all-chain drive.This Model H2 was resident in Glasgow and then Orkney before returning to the mainland circa 1970. The vendor advises us that the magneto has been overhauled; the engine rebuilt with a new piston and bearings; and new wheel spindles and bearings fitted. The vendor has enjoyed riding the BSA, which he says 'starts first kick' and has been widely admired. Last run in November 2023, the machine is offered with an old-style logbook and a V5C.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ex-Team Servisco; Fabbio Biliotti1987 Honda RS500 Grand Prix Racing MotorcycleFrame no. RS500RF-7102Engine no. RS500RE-7102•Raced by Italian privateer Fabbio Biliotti•In-period Grand Prix history•Offered with a set of original bodyworkFollowing the embarrassing debacle of the NR500, an oval-piston four-cylinder four-stroke that was supposed to bring Honda parity with the two-strokes then dominating Grand Prix racing's 500cc class, the Japanese firm swallowed its corporate pride and went down the stroker path for 1982. Rivals Yamaha and Suzuki had been running four-cylinder 500s for years, so it surprised the pundits when Honda's new contender turned out be a three-cylinder, and one with reed-valve induction rather than the disc valves favoured by everyone else. Although less powerful than the fours, the NS triple was lighter, more manoeuvrable, and possessed higher corner speed, so on some circuits could expect to have the advantage. As it happened, it wasn't that much slower at the top end either, a works rider Freddie Spencer's win (his first) at the fast Spa Francorchamps circuit demonstrated. Boasting an aluminium frame for 1983 (introduced mid-1982) the NS500 proved good enough to bring Spencer his first World Championship in the 500cc class. The factory ran an all-new V4 for Spencer in 1984, though many believe they should have stuck with the tried-and-tested triple, which by this time had been made available to customers as the RS500.Born in Arrezzo in Tuscany, Fabbio Biliotti first competed in the FIM World Championship in 1981 riding a Suzuki RG500. He continued to campaign the Suzuki in 1982 and 1983, before switching halfway through the '83 season to the alloy-framed Honda RS500. He continued competing as a privateer in 1984, his best result (and only points-scoring finish) being 9th place in Spain. In 1985 he rode for Team Italia on the second-generation RS500, switching in 1987 to the latest beam-frame version of the RS500 under the Team Servisco banner. He competed throughout 1987 and 1988 but scored only four points (in 1988). His last season of Grand Prix racing was 1989.The machine is offered finished in 'Freddie Spencer' colours (with tank signed by him) and comes with a set of Biliotti's Team Servisco bodywork.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Clive Wood, MBE Collection1932 BSA 499cc Blue Star W32-7Registration no. RV 2167Frame no. Z7.747Engine no. Z12.1854The Depression of the early 1930s forced a reduction in the number of BSA's models, just ten being offered for 1932. Among these, though, were three new 500s: one a sidevalve and two with overhead valves, all sharing a common bottom end and the 85x88mm bore/stroke dimensions that would characterise all BSA's 500cc singles, including the legendary Gold Star, up to the beginning of the unitary construction era in the 1960s. The overhead-valve sports 500 was given the name 'Blue Star', a title also applied to the equivalent 250 and 350 models. All featured engines with vertical cylinders and magneto ignition carried in conventional cycle parts with rigid frames and girder forks. The Blue Stars came with a tuned engine incorporating a high-compression piston; 'hotter' cams; a twin-port cylinder head; and a four-speed foot-change gearbox. Originally an optional extra, a full electric lighting system became standard equipment for 1934.Displaying a tax disc that expired on 30th September 1953, this Blue Star '500' was acquired by the late owner in October 2006. Possibly unrestored, the machine is offered for recommissioning, or possibly more extensive renovation, and is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over). Accompanying paperwork includes the original and two continuation logbooks; a quantity of useful transfers; and old V5/V5C registration documents.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1969 Velocette 499cc Venom ThruxtonRegistration no. DNP 147HFrame no. RS20025Engine no. VMT 1066C•Formerly owned by Simon Goodman•Rebuilt by Goodman Engineering in 1994•Further renovation in 1999•Present ownership since 1995•Extensively recommissioned in October/November 2023This Velocette Venom Thruxton was exported new on 28th November 1969 to Robert Le Conte in Paris, France. Its specification and matching numbers are confirmed by the Velocette Thruxton Machine Register's original factory records held by Ray Thurston. The machine was later purchased by Simon Goodman, a member of Velocette's founding Goodman family, in 1987 and rebuilt in black/gold (engine excepted). Goodman Engineering returned the machine to factory standard in 1994. Prior to '94 Simon Goodman rode the Thruxton for 860 miles before stripping and refinishing it in factory-specification blue and silver during the period June to September that year. The entire motorcycle stripped, the engine being totally rebuilt including big-end and main bearings, cylinder barrel, piston, valves, valve springs, valve guides and seats, and camshaft bush. The oil pump was completely reconditioned and the gearbox totally rebuilt, as was the clutch and drive train. Our vendor purchased the machine from Simon Goodman in 1995. The Thruxton has been used for occasional outings to local shows where it attracted much attention and has been featured on the front page of a classic motorcycling magazine. It was mechanically serviced and improved in November 1999 by Classic Motorcycle Restorations' Barrie Bourner, who declared the Thruxton to be a 'real good 'un'. CMR undertook extensive mechanical and electrical servicing and restoration, further building on Goodman's work. These works included replacing the regulator and ammeter (magneto was fine); multiple adjustments to aid starting and running; stripping and adjusting the gearbox; shimming the clutch 'frying pan'; replacing multiple seals and fixing oil leaks; regrinding the inlet valve; cylinder/piston internal checks; oil system flushed and cleaned; setting up the Mk2 carburettor and GP carburettor. The GP carb was checked by specialist Mark Newby. Since 2001 the machine has been kept in centrally heated storage, and in October/November 2023 was recommissioned by Tony Mortimer. New items fitted included the tyres; battery; spark plug; centre stand and spring bushes; oil filter and oil; fuel pipes and tank. The Velo was serviced, tested and run.Accompanying documentation includes an account of the Thruxton's history dated 1st August 1995, compiled and signed by Simon Goodman of The Goodman Engineering Co Ltd, and lists and costs of work done dated 9th November 1999, compiled and signed by Barrie Bourner of Classic Motorcycle Restorations. There is also a photograph, signed by Simon Goodman, of him with 'VMT1066C', published in The Velocette Saga, The Story of a Great Motorcycle by C E 'Titch' Allen.The machine is offered with sundry bills, a VOC dating certificate, and a V5C registration document.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1956 BSA 650cc A10 Golden FlashRegistration no. SXK 541Frame no. BA10 15112Engine no. BA7S 18851This wonderfully patinated and conserved plunger-suspension A10 was delivered new to Marble Arch Motor Supplies Ltd on 11th May 1956 and originally was attached to a double-adult sidecar. The original buff logbook lists three private owners, the last of whom, Anthony Charles Farmer of Wantage, acquired the BSA in June 1968. The machine was MoT'd in May 1976 (certificate on file) and shortly afterwards broke a piston ring, after which it was consigned to a shed and forgotten for 30 years. The present owner acquired the BSA in October 2006. The Al0 is fitted with an original Craven carrier, which, unusually, was painted to match the rest of the outfit. Renovation included rebuilding the engine (using new-old-stock parts where possible); rewiring the electrics using the original gauges and light lenses; overhauling the plunger units; painting the frame, plunger units and carrier; removing the sidecar fittings; and fitting an original footrest.

Ex-works; H J 'Bert' Bacon 1930 Senior TT; Les Newman 1934 Senior Manx Grand Prix1930 Sunbeam 500cc Model 90 Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. GH 4181Frame no. 8217Engine no. NN4067•Known ownership history•Present ownership since 2009•Recently been fitted with close-ratio gears and an Arias forged piston•Comprehensive history file•Well documented•'Goes as well as it looks'According to the continuation old-style logbook on file (issued January 1938) 'GH 4184' was first registered on 23rd July 1930 (just less than a month after the TT). The Sunbeam was taxed from March 1938 and the final entry is dated December 1941. The aforementioned logbook lists owners in the Bristol area: Jack Cooper was the recorded keeper 1938-1941, while in June '41 the Sunbeam passes to James Powell before being acquired by John Norris of Southampton the following month. In September 1945 Thomas 'Nigel' Seymour Smith became the new owner. (It should be noted that the logbook and consequently the V5C documents omit the frame number's last digit.)This Model 90 is pictured in The Motor Cycle's TT Report edition of 26th June 1930 (copy on file). 'GH 4184' was one of the five works entries for the 1930 Senior TT and was ridden by gentleman racer H J 'Bertie' Bacon to 11th place. The Sunbeam was later was sold to L C Newman, who rode it at the 1934 Manx GP. The machine was ridden at the TT with Druid-type forks and at the Manx with the Webb type (both sets are still with it).There are no factory records identifying the numbers of the frame and engine allocated to Bacon for the TT. However, the bike does have the unique frame and TT tanks that mark it out as a works machine. Unique identifying features of the factory bikes include a foot-change gearbox; scalloped frame lugs; TT left-fill oil tank; and TT extra-wide fuel tank with quick filler. The Sunbeam is currently fitted with a slightly later Amal 89, but a correct M90 stamped '29/001' is included in the sale. It has recently been fitted with close-ratio gears from Chris Odling, plus an Arias forged piston.In terms of paperwork, there is a folder that came with the Sunbeam when purchased, which contains photographs and copies of interesting correspondence. The Model 90 came to our vendor from Thomas Davis of Wotton-Under-Edge via Richard Jones. The buff logbook ties this machine to Nigel Seymour Smith (TT rider, motorcycle collector and lifelong VOC member) and there is a copy of a letter from Les Newman to him where Newman states the Sunbeam is Bacon's. There is also a period tankard awarded to Newman for his performance at the MGP. The Marston club know 'GH 4184' well, and it is usually referred to at the Bacon or Newman bike. The file also contains photographs of Smith on the bike alongside 'Titch' Allen, and one of Newman when he was reunited with it some years later.There is also a copy of another letter from Graham Walker, dated 4th July 1934, telling Newman the price and condition of the Bacon bike: 'I have now heard from Bacon who tells me the price of his machine is somewhere between £38 and £40.' A letter dated 14th August 1988 from Newman to Tom Davis (referencing Nigel) requests a story he had published. This letter recounts the finish of the MGP, stating that the piston rings were broken, and also references Graham Walker (which establishes the connection between the two). Newman's original album of images comes with the machine, including some of the Model 95 he replaced the 90 with in 1935. Another letter, dated September 1934, from Burt Bacon to Les Newman passes on his congratulations. Another letter from Les to Nigel Seymour Smith, dated 1986, states he sold the bike to Harry Prior, and when he (Harry) was called up, his parents sold it assuming he would not come back alive! Newman's story on file recounts how he bought the bike, etc.Spares offered with the machine include the later forks used by Newman; a correct M90 stamped '29/001' Amal carburettor; an early type drum/sprocket believed as used by the TT bikes; and a rare short gearbox main-shaft plus dished engine sprocket from Bill Page; they were only used on the race gearboxes without kickstart. There is also a couple of award tankards and a 1930 TT Programme. Other documents are listed below:•Photocopy of a letter dated 15/9/34 from someone who recorded the lap times for Les Newman (we know that the person lived at 91 Pslater Lane, Sheffield, but it's not been possible to positively identify them)•Page 380 of The Motor Cycle 20th September 1934 listing the results•Large file of invoices•Correspondence from Bert Bacon's son Graham Bacon•Old MoTs•Old/current V5C documentsAn older restoration, the Sunbeam is reported to go as well as it looks (easy starting, easy gear change) and has been ridden at numerous events while in the vendor's ownership. In 2008 the Model 90 was ridden up the test hill at the '100 Years of Brooklands' celebration. It has also been ridden in other Brooklands events; on the Banbury Run; and at the Marston Sunbeam Club's Centenary Rally in 2012. The machine was last started in March 2024 and last ridden on the road in 2022.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1950 Vincent 499cc 'Grey Flash'Registration no. LNB 103Frame no. RC/1/8145 (see text) Rear frame no. noneEngine no. F5AB/2B/3857•Original Grey Flash engine•Original oil tank and rear frame are included•Featured in Original Vincent Motorcycle by Dr Jaqueline Bickerstaffe•Racing motorcycle road-registered when new•Present ownership since 1967•Used for racing and sprints 1981 to 2013•Displayed at many events, winning numerous awards (Stafford, NEC, VOC, etc)This Grey Flash was first registered to King's Motors (Oxford) Ltd of Manchester on 20th June 1950 and first owned by one Ronald Tindall of Halifax. The original buff logbook confirms that the machine was road registered as a Grey Flash and lists the next owner as Maurice Chefneux of Droylsden; then from December 1951 two members of the same family in Milnrow, from whom the vendor purchased it on 14th April 1967. The Vincent also comes with the owner's personal logbook detailing works carried out and events attended for the period 1967 to March 2016, the last entry reporting that the machine had been transferred to the Lakeland Motor Museum (initially for a period of two years) where it has remained on display ever since. The Grey Flash was in a dismantled and damaged state when acquired, having crashed and suffered front-end damage, and had not been run since 1953 (see owner's logbook page 1). The machine had been raced and came with various related components, although the headstock was missing. In the course of the rebuild the owner sourced a Comet upper frame (number 'RC/1/8145') which is in the machine today. The original rear frame ('5757') had been modified (the number prefix obscured by braze) and that too had to be replaced (the original oil tank and rear frame are included in the sale). The front brake plates are aluminium alloy, replacing the fragile magnesium originals, while the engine incorporates a BSA B50 piston and Carrillo con-rod. It took several years to complete the rebuild, the first road test being undertaken on 6th May 1981. Following a second outing, the 'Flash was deemed ready to return to the racetrack, its first such venture being at Cadwell Park on 9th May 1981: 'The weather was dreadful – rode very gingerly.' Nevertheless, it was considered a successful debut. This fascinating logbook records numerous other race meetings throughout the UK over the years, with sprints gradually supplanting circuit races. It also records attendance at countless classic motorcycle gatherings including at Montlhéry, The International Classic Bike Show, Festival of 1000 Bikes, and the VOC's Ramsey Sprint in the Isle of Man. The last outing recorded is a track day at Cadwell Park in September 2013. Offered with old V5/V5C documents.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

After mainly producing single cylinder designs for their road bikes Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive vee-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design from the sporty Le Mans models to the custom Californias. The V35 and V50 models were launched as lightweight versions of the bigger capacity V-twins introducing an entirely new group of riders to the mystique and cachet of the Moto Guzzi brand.This V50, part of a Moto Guzzi enthusiast private collection, has enjoyed various modifications under his ownership to make it a more practical and comfortable lightweight Tourer. The bike has been maintained to a high standard, used mainly for VMCC and Moto Guzzi club events and taking part in the Pyrenees Tour des Cols in 2015. Acquired by him as an unfinished ‘project’ in 2012, it was treated to an engine overhaul including new barrel/piston kits, head and carb overhaul, a new breather system and K and N air filters. A new clutch plus a new starter motor (late geared type) were fitted with a new drive shaft/universal joint. A taper roller steering bearing conversion replaced the ball and cup originals and the bike refinished in Black and Gold paintwork with a Monza handlebar fairing and V65 lowers. A full brake caliper overhaul was carried out with new pads/discs, a Monza master cylinder and an overhaul of the original “linked” foot brake master cylinder, with Goodridge brake hoses all round. A Keihan stainless exhaust system and sump extension were practical additions. The bike is fitted with an Electrex World regulator-rectifier, better suited to the Moto Batt Gel Mat battery, Oxford heated grips and a Garmin GPS mount. The finishing touches are a new Elektronik Sachse electronic ignition and full carburettor overhaul in 2023. Included in the sale is a full maintenance/service record covering current ownership with parts receipts, a workshop manual and electronic ignition instructions /warranty information, spare cables, some service spares and the original V50 parts including the round headlight, Bosch electronic ignition system and original regulator -rectifier.

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 legendary 400/4 was launched in 1975 to great acclaim and revolutionised medium-capacity motorcycles giving riders 500cc performance in a small lightweight package.This 1978 Honda 400 Four (400/4) is a mostly original machine, it has been looked after most of its life and has been kept up together. Some new parts were fitted recently. The Honda has been running well until the battery has failed recently, the current vendor has decided he will not ride it again.

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.

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

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.

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 power products. One of their most distinctive and best loved designs is the Z series of small wheeled minibikes that came to be known as Monkey bikes because those riding them "looked like Monkeys". The first version of the Honda Z-series was the 1961 prototype Honda Z100, originally produced as a children's ride at the Tama Tech Japanese amusement park and was eventually refined and put into mass production in 1964.The Monkey bike has seen several different variations over its 40+ years of production, the Gorilla being one of them, a more aggressively styled and chunky looking bike. This circa 1981 Z50 Gorilla was imported into the UK in 2006 and whilst not registered comes with its 2006 customs declaration showing duties paid at the time. Part of a private collection, the vendor is now downsizing to make a bit of space in his garage. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Some 7 months after the TV175 series 1 was launched. By then Innocenti had eliminated most of the engine problems that the 175 had. The Li 125 was a dramatic departure from the shaft driven LD range that had preceded it. The new enclosed chain driven engine was centrally positioned under the frame and had more power than the LD. With larger 10 inch wheels and beautifully designed panel work it was a superb scooter to ride and was instant hit. The Lambretta Li125 series 2 was launched in October 1959. Based on the successful series 1 with the obvious difference was the position of the headlight on the handlebars for better lighting when cornering. It had an engine based on the Li125 series 1 but with an increased stroke and several other small modifications all over the scooter that made it the best-selling Lambretta of all time.This very original machine was sourced according to our vendor via Rimini Lambretta Centre and was subject to a service there before being imported around 2020 into the UK. Originally licensed in Ancona, Italy the scooter is supplied with its original ‘Targa’ Italian number plate in addition to the UK license plate. During the service the scooter had a new rear shock fitted and new tyres. We are informed that even the piston is the original although it has had new rings fitted which are still not yet run in. The electrics are still on 6v points and all over the scooter one can see originality including the lights, carburettor and engine. The original paint shows no obvious signs of any touch ups and has a pleasant all over patina with a good condition front mudguard. The scooter has some valuable accessories including a Cavalli Falbo ‘pig nose’ horn cast embellisher, Cavalli fork covers and a top of the range Rimini leopard Pegasus seat. Other accessories are original hand and lever grips. The scooter comes with the steering lock key and is fitted with an aftermarket Li125 speedometer. We are informed by the vendor that the sooner rides really well and we were able to see the scooter running very well with no issues at the time of consignment. The original light switch has been damaged in storage and supplied is a genuine NOS replacement switch will be supplied with the lot. This scooter is ready to ride and enjoy on the road.

To put things into context the Cub range has sold more individual units than the top three selling cars of all time combined!This Cub, whilst looking standard and original, is actually fitted with a Lifan 125cc engine and has been used by the vendor as his TT runabout for the last few years, surprising a few bikers with its extra turn of speed! Being offered at ‘no reserve’ it comes supplied with a spare 90cc engine, silencer, a few spare parts, an MOT until 14th May 2024 and a current V5C.
