A 1939 HRD Vincent Series A Meteor, registration number HJO 760, frame number D1759, engine number M673, maroon and black, the ex Alex Moulton rubber heel prototype. This historically significant Series A Meteor was despatched from the factory on 29-6-39 to Kings of Oxford. The original order form (copy on file) states that it was fitted with a Burman gearbox (XBAPH no number noted), Brampton forks, a Miller magneto and lighting set, an Amal carburettor, TT handle bars, TT aluminium mud guards, a TT stainless petrol tank (would appear to have been fitted with a standard steel tank from new), a 120 mph speedometer, duo brakes, a Dunlop saddle, a low exhaust pipe and a pillion seat. The 499cc engine was fitted with oil pump BD618 and a Levis 4 X camshaft, and a Specialloid 7/6 piston. Unfortunately the early history after the initial despatch to Kings of Oxford is unknown until D1759 came into the possession of Mr Alex Moulton, the inventor from Bradford on Avon who was in possession of the motorcycle after the second world war. He would subsequently use the Vincent as a test bed for his rubber heel rear suspension (article on file Motor Cycling November 1947). Mr Moulton would retain ownership until 1985 when Mr Christopher Edwards (deceased), an engineer and Vincent Owner's Club member purchased it direct from him. From information taken from the history it can be seen that Mr Edwards undertook a considerable amount of research before starting a full nut and bolt restoration to an extremely high standard. There are letters on file from the historian Bob Stafford amongst others outlining the original specification of the motorcycle. Mr Edwards commenced the restoration in approximately 1998 and there is correspondence with DVLA to retain the original registration number (non transferable). Mr Edwards was unfortunately unable to complete the restoration due to ill health, but another close friend, the legendary trials rider Sammy Miller kindly finished the restoration for Mr Edwards' widow (receipt on file for £2,326.75 dated 4-11-14). Since completing the restoration the Vincent has only been started with a slave petrol supply (the petrol tank has not be used) and it is advised that the next custodian should undertake a final shake down and light recommissioning before the motorcycle goes into use. The vast accompanying history file contains copies of the original bill and order forms, correspondence with Bob Stafford, a February 1985 MPH magazine (No 433) where the motorcycle is featured, original tax discs from 1947, 48, 49 and 50 when the Vincent was last believed to have been licensed, photographs, receipts, general correspondence, original handbook and dating certificate. This fastidiously restored and historically significant Vincent is now available for the first time in over 30 years and would be an excellent addition to any collection.

A 1937 Sunbeam Model 8 Sport 350cc, registration number VY 9476, black. This charming Model 8 is one of the last Wolverhampton built Sunbeams, first registered in April 1937.

- Built in February 1964 to LHD Series IIA 2.25 litre (petrol) specification apparently for military usage - Reputedly updated to RHD Series III specification prior to being registered for road use in December 1972 - Unwarranted 49,000 recorded miles and recently emerged from a six-year long, chassis up restoration Vendor Condition Ratings: Bodywork: 'Very Good'Engine: 'Average'Electrical Equipment: 'Good'Paintwork: 'Good'Gearbox: 'Good'Interior Trim: 'Very Good' Further Info: 'The Land Rover was originally built in February 1964 and I have a Heritage Trust letter to confirm that. This being a Series IIA 109 inch 2250cc petrol, chassis 25407332-B. It was built as a left-hand drive military, however, it was not road registered until December 1972. The mystery is that everything about it appears to be right-hand drive Series III. The Series III was not introduced until 1971. I have been informed that a number of early Series IIIs were factory conversions from Series IIAs. It has had eight keepers since being road registered and I understand it was used on a country estate for some time. Neither the last keeper or myself have used the vehicle apart from driving it to the MOT test station. The current indicated mileage is 49,423, however, I have no idea if that is genuine. I purchased the vehicle in November 2009 and have spent six years restoring it from the chassis up. The chassis has been stripped and repainted. Heavy duty front and rear springs have been fitted together with new rear axle restraint straps. The brakes have been overhauled and a new servo fitted. The engine has had a new timing chain, piston rings, valves, valve springs and big end bearings. It has electronic ignition. The back axle oil seal has been replaced as has the transfer box oil seal. A new heavy duty battery has been fitted. The bulkhead is in good order with no apparent rust. The interior has been restored and repainted with new rear seats. There is a sink in the rear area. The front wings have been replaced. The wheels have been renewed and wear excellent tyres. There are two spare wheels, one on the rear and one on the inside. It has a reinforced adjustable tow hitch (ex Defender), rear steps and chrome folding steps. It passed its MOT test on 30th May with no advisories'.
