Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1916 Alldays Allon 548cc Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. unable to locateEngine no. unable to locate•Rare Birmingham-built motorcycle combination•Twin-cylinder two-stroke engine•An older restoration'A new twin two-stroke of extremely interesting design is being constructed by Messrs Alldays & Onions, the makers of the well-known Allon two-stroke.' – Motor Cycling, 5th October 1915.A firm that could trace its origins as far back as the 17th Century, the Birmingham-based Alldays & Onions Pneumatic Engineering Company built its first automobile in 1898 and its first motorcycle in 1903. Car production ended around 1918 but that of motorcycles continued at the firm's Matchless works in Birmingham until the late 1920s. Early and late types were marketed as Alldays, but from 1915 to 1924 the firm's products were also known as Allons. The bulk of production consisted of the 293cc (2¾hp) Allon two-stroke. Introduced shortly before the outbreak of WWI, the Allon was one of the first British machines to feature a sloping top tube, while post-WWI versions were among the earliest to adopt saddle tanks. Prior to the Allon's introduction, the firm also offered the 'Matchless', a lightweight powered by a 269cc Villiers two-stroke engine; single-gear, direct-drive and two-speed versions were available.This magnificent Alldays Allon motorcycle combination is powered by the company's own 548cc air-cooled twin-cylinder two-stroke engine, which drives via a Sturmey Archer countershaft gearbox with chain primary and belt final drive. 'The new power unit is set across the frame and, although at first sight it might appear that this would add uncomfortably to the width of the machine, in practice it is found that the engine is very little wider than most of those designed for sidecar work,' observed Motor Cycling. Typical of the time, the brakes consist of a dummy belt-rim type at the front and an externally contracting band at the rear. Other noteworthy features of this particular machine include Binks carburettors; P&H acetylene lighting; Cowie speedometer; Lucas 'King of the Road' horn; and a single-seater sidecar of Alldays' own make. An older restoration, the machine is offered with some photocopied in-period literature. There is no registration document with this Lot. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1936 AJS 982cc Model 2 Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. CYN 145Frame no. 593Engine no. 36/2A 2097•One owner from 1953 to 2008•An older restoration•Brough Superior SS80 performance at a fraction of the cost Ill-timed diversification that coincided with the post-Wall Street Crash depression would result in the sad demise of A J Stevens Ltd, which had been manufacturing motorcycles of high quality at its Wolverhampton works since 1911. AJS was taken over by Matchless in 1931 and production shifted to the latter's factory in Plumstead, South London where the existing range continued largely unaltered initially. Indeed, the two marques would retain largely separate identities until the outbreak of WW2, although their models became increasingly similar, using the same engines, gearboxes, and other major components. AJS's own 998cc sidevalve v-twin was one of the first models to be dropped, disappearing at the end of the '31 season, and for the next 12 months there was no large-capacity 'sidecar tug' in the range. That changed in July 1932 with the arrival of the new Model 2, which was powered by the engine of the long-established Matchless Model X. This 982cc sidevalve v-twin engine had first appeared in the 'X/2' in 1925 and would remain in production until the outbreak of WW2, being supplied to Brough Superior for use in the SS80 from 1935 onwards. Intended primarily for sidecar duty, the Model 2 became available to 'export' specification during 1933 complete with American-style foot-operated clutch, left-side gear lever, and swept-back handlebars. The Model 2 continued to be available in domestic and export forms until 1939 and was included in the catalogue for 1940. Sadly, this imposing and handsome machine did not reappear after the War's end. Apparently, an older restoration, this AJS Model 2 combination had been owned since 1953 by Mr Reginald Hall of Welling, Kent when it was acquired by the NMM in May 2008. Mr Hall had purchased the AJS from M F Sharland Ltd (Woolwich Motor Cycle Mart) for the princely sum of £22 10s (receipt on file). The accompanying old-style logbook in his name, issued in 1959, shows that 'CYN 145' was licensed as a 'Sidecar Bicycle' at that time. Additional paperwork consists of old insurance documents; some MoTs (most recent expired 2006); and an old-style V5C Registration Certificate. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1906 Quadrant 5hp ForecarRegistration no. JSL 479Frame no. 66900Engine no. 1955 and 1966•Rare twin-engined forecar•Acquired for the NMM in January 2000•An older restorationIn the early 1880s, Walter and William Lloyd patented a pedal tricycle steering mechanism, calling their invention 'Quadrant', a name that would later be applied to complete bicycles, tricycles, forecars and motorcycles. Built at Sheepcote Street, Birmingham, the first of the latter appeared in 1901, making Quadrant one of this country's earliest motorcycle manufacturers. Called the 'Autocyclette', the first Quadrant was little more than one of the firm's bicycles with a proprietary Minerva engine attached to the front down-tube. For 1903 the design was revised, the engine, now Quadrant's own, moving to the conventional 'Werner' position within a new loop frame. Early in 1907 the Lloyds split with fellow board member Tom Silver, Walter going his own way to manufacture the LMC while Silver retained the rights to the Quadrant name and designs. After a relatively brief sojourn in Coventry, the firm returned to Birmingham in 1911. A 1,129cc v-twin was added to the range for 1913 but did not last long, the mainstay of Quadrant's production at this time being a 600cc single. Post-WWI, large-capacity singles of 654cc and 780cc continued to be a fixture of the range, to which was added a 490cc model in 1924. An overhead-valve, twin-port version of the latter was new for 1927, but by now Quadrant was in terminal decline and production ceased in 1928. An older restoration, this handsome Quadrant forecar is powered by two single-cylinder air-cooled four-stroke engines with automatic inlet valves and side exhaust valves. The total engine capacity is recorded on the V5 as 902cc, yet one reputable source states that both of this model's engines were of 250cc, with one alone used for solo work and the two together when a passenger was carried. The Quadrant was purchased by the National Motorcycle Museum from the late Brian Verrall in January 2000 and was previously registered as 'AD 824' (a Gloucestershire mark). Verrall's bill of sale is on file and the machine also comes with an old-style V5 registration document and an HPI check sheet. Gloucestershire County Council records show that 'AD 824' was first registered on 4th January 1907 to one Cuthbert Rayner Booth (brass manufacturer) of The Tudor House, Mickleton. Three further owners are listed: Tom Edward Parry of Powick, Worcester (April 1907); Francis Hugh Douglas of Malvern, Worcestershire (April 1908); and R W Dimery of Kingsthorne, Hereford (June 1909). The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1922 Labinal Micromoteur and Griffon Gentleman's BicycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. to be advisedEngine no. 4375AAn auxiliary 'clip-on' engine designed for attachment to a bicycle, the Labinal Micromoteur was manufactured in France during the 1920s and may be thought of as the ancestor of the post-war VéloSoleX. Produced with capacities up to 50cc, the Labinal engine was mounted in front of the bicycle's steering head and drove the front wheel via a roller. The example offered here is attached to a Griffon gentleman's bicycle believed to date from circa 1919. The machine was purchased from France by the present owner approximately 10 years ago and has been restored throughout. It was test-ridden post-restoration around 8-9 years ago but has not been used since. Noteworthy features include a Salmson magneto; Cozette carburettor; and an out-of-period Sturmey Archer three-speed coaster hub. There are no documents with this Lot.

1954 Vincent 998cc Series-C Black ShadowRegistration no. OYE 181Frame no. RC12141B Rear Frame no. RC12141BEngine no. F10AB/1B/10241 Crankcase Mating no. D31V/D31V•Matching frame and engine•Present family ownership since the 1970s•In storage and not used since the 1970s•Offered for restorationEver since the Series A's arrival in 1937, the Vincent v-twin has been synonymous with design innovation, engineering excellence and superlative high performance. From Rollie Free's capture of the 'world's fastest production motorcycle' record in 1948 on a tuned Series-B Black Shadow to the final fully enclosed Black Knight and Black Prince, Philip Vincent's stress on appearance and performance is legendary. His machines bristled with innovative features, offering adjustment of brake pedal, footrests, seat height and gear-change lever. The finish was to a very high standard commensurate with the cost of the machine, which was virtually double that of any of its contemporaries.But above all else it was the v-twin's stupendous performance that captivated motorcyclists, whether they could afford one or not. The appeal of the Vincent, and the Black Shadow in particular, lay in its ability to out-perform just about every other vehicle on the road, and in the early post-war years there was nothing to compare with it. This was a time when the average family sedan was barely capable of reaching 70mph, and not until the advent of Jaguar's XK120 was there a production sports car that could live with the thundering v-twins from Stevenage. With a top speed approaching 120mph and bettering it in the Black Shadow's case, the Vincent v-twin was quite simply the fastest road vehicle of its day. The vendor's uncle purchased this Black Shadow in the 1970s and placed it in storage (he already owned a Vincent Comet that he used for everyday transport, see Lot 750). Original and in un-restored condition throughout, the Shadow has not been ridden since the 1970s and has never been started while in the vendor's possession. Frame and engine numbers are matching, and the machine has not been modified. The Vincent's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. Accompanying documentation consists of a V5C Registration Certificate. Also included in the sale is a quantity of spares to include headlight units; Terry's valve springs; pistons; drive chain; instruction manuals; suspension units x2; exhaust pipes; and ignition coils.

1953 Vincent 499cc Series-C CometRegistration no. RUA 388Frame no. RC/1/11537/B Rear Frame no. RC/1/11537/BEngine no. F5AB/2A/9637 Crankcase Mating no. 38MM/38MM•Matching frame and engine•Present family ownership since the late 1960s•Not ridden since the late 1970s•Original throughoutUnlike in pre-war days, when the first (Series-A) Vincent-HRD v-twin had been created by - in effect - combining two of the existing singles, post-WW2 Vincent's approach was reversed, with the Series-B twin appearing first, in 1946, and the single-cylinder version in 1948. The latter was offered in two forms initially: Series-B Meteor and Series-C Comet. Apart from its Burman gearbox and 'missing' cylinder, the Comet followed Series-C twin lines, featuring the newly introduced Girdraulic front fork and hydraulic dampers at front and rear, while the Meteor retained the old Brampton girders. The Meteor was soon dropped but the Comet continued in production until 1954, offering the same degree of refinement as its bigger brother, albeit with reduced performance. Even so, the Comet combined a 90mph potential with excellent fuel economy, and was the ideal touring mount for the discerning rider who placed civility of manners and quality of construction above outright performance. An expensive machine to produce, the Comet did not sell as well as its maker had hoped and was dropped when the Series-D range was introduced. This matching numbers (frame and engine) Comet was manufactured in March 1953. The vendor acquired the machine from his uncle, a former technician at the Granada Television studios (now ITV) who rode it to and from work. The Vincent would sometimes be used for shows or photo shoots, and 'RUA 388' comes with a photograph of model Ebbie Haggarty draped across it, taken outside the Granada studios. Back then, Ebbie was linked with George Best, and was pictured on the front page of the Daily Mirror on 13th January 1971 kissing Manchester United's star player (see press cutting on file). Original and in un-restored condition throughout, the Comet has not been ridden since the late 1970s and has never been started while in the vendor's possession. Frame and engine numbers are matching, and the machine has not been modified. The Comet's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. Accompanying documentation consists of a V5C Registration Certificate; an old-style logbook (issued 1964); and six expired MoTs from the 1970s. Also included in the sale are a headlight and rim; filters x2; Terry's valve springs; drive chain; battery; rider's handbook; and a rear-view mirror.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

With a top speed approaching 120mph and bettering it in the Black Shadow's case, the Vincent v-twin was quite simply the fastest road vehicle of its day. This Black Shadow has been in the vendor's family's possession for the last 15 years having been purchased in 2006 by his father. A lifelong Vincent enthusiast, the father was confident that his son (a qualified mechanical engineer) would ensure that if the bike needed anything repaired or manufactured this could easily be done. The vendor inherited the Vincent when his father passed away in October 2009. He soon realised that the engine needed attention, so Maughan & Son were entrusted with a full rebuild with no expense spared. The Shadow has been lovingly cared for while in the vendor's family's ownership, the only departure from standard specification being the installation of electronic ignition making it easier to start (original magneto included). Accompanying paperwork includes a copy of the original works order signed in 1951 by Jack Surtees (John Surtees' father); a copy of the factory test rider's report; and a V5C registration document. It should be noted that the upper frame has been replaced and re-stamped with the original number. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1967 Velocette 499cc Venom ThruxtonRegistration no. JOE 906EFrame no. RS19208Engine no. VMT 506•Motorcycle engineer owner•Cylinder head overhauled and dynamo reconditioned recently'Prestige machine of the pushrod range was the Venom Thruxton 500. It incorporated all the accumulated experience gained in the years the Venom Clubman has been raced in long-distance events, plus the development of the 12 and 24-hour record breaker.' – C E A 'Titch' Allen, The Velocette Saga.Production race successes, notably in the Thruxton 500 Mile event prompted Veloce Ltd to adopt that name for their newly introduced top-of-the-range sports roadster in 1964. Based on the existing Venom, the Thruxton featured a tuned engine with revised big-valve cylinder head, Amal GP carburettor, clip-on handlebars, rear-set footrests and a twin-leading-shoe front brake as standard equipment. Although the Thruxton took its name from the eponymous Hampshire racing circuit, arguably its finest hour came in 1967 when Manxman Neil Kelly won the '500' class in the Isle of Man TT's Production race, newly introduced for that year. Although much admired by the café racing fraternity, the Thruxton's necessarily high price limited its appeal to a select handful of wealthy connoisseurs. It is thought that as few as 1,100 were made by the factory (with a further 55-60 assembled from parts by main dealers) and today the Thruxton is one of the most sought after of post-war Velocettes.Factory records show that this Thruxton was despatched from Hall Green on 28th February 1967, bound for the Colmore Depot dealership in Birmingham, and sold new to a Mr T A Needham. Formerly belonging to the noted Velocette collector, Ken Gardiner, the machine was purchased by the vendor from a deceased's estate in 2019. The current vendor is a renowned and highly capable motorcycle engineer, during whose ownership the frame has been powder coated, the cylinder head overhauled by KTT Services, and dynamo reconditioned (bills on file). The Velo was last ridden in 2012 but has been started recently and should require only minimal re-commissioning before returning to the road. Accompanying paperwork includes an old-style continuation logbook (1972), Thruxton Register dating letter, and old/current V5C documents. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1947 Douglas 348cc T35 De LuxeRegistration no. EAV 615Frame no. 1753Engine no. 1815The Bristol-based Douglas Foundry took up motorcycle production in 1907 with a machine powered by a horizontally-opposed, twin-cylinder engine, and the company would keep faith with this layout until it ceased motorcycle production in 1957. Fore-and-aft installation made for a slim machine with a low centre of gravity, and the design's virtues were soon demonstrated in competition, 2¾hp Douglas machines taking 1st, 2nd and 4th places in the 1912 Junior TT in the Isle of Man.Douglas commenced post-war production in 1947 with, naturally enough, a flat twin, though unlike the vast majority of previous models the T35 mounted its engine across the frame. The former was of unit construction, while the latter displayed even greater innovation with its swinging arm rear suspension controlled by torsion bars, and leading-link Radiadraulic front fork. Its advanced running gear endowed the Douglas with excellent handling and steering characteristics, while the willing engine, although not as quick as some 350s, could propel the 'Duggie' at up to 70mph and return 60-plus miles per gallon. The T35 was produced for little more than one season before being superseded by the updated MkIII. First registered in Scotland ('AV' is an Aberdeenshire mark), this T35 was purchased by the vendor at Bonhams' Stafford auction in April 2007 (Lot 445). The machine was restored in 2010: the gearbox being rebuilt; the magneto overhauled; the clutch relined; the wheels rebuilt with new chromed rims and stainless spokes; the seat re-covered; and a new prop stand, crash bars, luggage rack, exhaust pipe and 'waffle box' silencer fitted. Last run earlier this year and described by the private vendor as in generally excellent condition, with good engine, the machine is offered with an old-style logbook; instruction manual; parts catalogue; sundry restoration invoices; assorted MoTs and tax discs; and a V5C document, the latter incorrectly recording the frame number. Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1953 Triumph 498cc Tiger 100Registration no. PYA 169Frame no. 38064Engine no. T100 38064The Tiger 100 sports version of Edward Turner's trend-setting Speed Twin reappeared in 1946 with telescopic forks in place of the original girders, and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war magdyno. Produced almost unchanged for the next three years, the Tiger gained Triumph's distinctive headlamp nacelle in 1949 when the range was restyled. An alloy cylinder head and barrel were adopted for 1951, while a swinging-arm frame and 8'-diameter front brake were fitted from 1954 onwards. Triumphs of the Edward Turner era are among the most stylish of post-war British motorcycles, and the Tiger 100 with its handsome all-alloy engine is one of the most charismatic and sought after of them all. This particular machine has the Edward Turner-designed optional 'Sprung Hub', which endowed the rigid frame with a measure of rear suspension movement. 'PYA 169' was purchased by the current (second) owner in 1991 and subsequently fully restored. Kept in a dry garage, the Triumph was last used in 2015 and is presented in excellent condition throughout. Re-commissioning and the customary safety checks will be required before returning it to the road. The machine is offered with a quantity of expired MoTs; copies of previous registration documents; and old/current V5Cs.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1956 Panther 594cc Model 100Registration no. XAO 257Frame no. 29272Engine no. 56MS59APhelon & Moore (P&M) was founded in Cleckheaton, South Yorkshire in 1904. The firm was renowned for its fondness for engines with inclined cylinders, the latter featuring on its new 500cc overhead-valve model of 1923. This was P&M's first 'Panther', and the name would later be extended to the entire range. Post-WW2, Panther added medium-weight 250/350cc models with vertical engines to the range, but its largest models retained the inclined engine that had been around since the dawn of time and served as the frame's downtube. A range of Villiers-powered lightweights and a scooter were added in the late 1950s, these and the old long-stroke singles being the only types on offer after 1961. In 1959 an enlarged (to 645cc) Model 120 joined the 594cc Model 100 and the former would be the sole Panther four-stroke in the range after 1963. This Panther 100 was enjoyed by a previous owner for 40-plus years before passing to a new custodian who kept it for less than a year before selling it to the current vendor. The vendor describes the machine as in good condition, with a very good engine, recently re-bored. Last run earlier in the year, this characterful Panther is offered with a V5C registration Certificate.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1928 AJS 495cc K10 with Swinging-arm ConversionRegistration no. TK 649 (see text)Frame no. to be advisedEngine no. 10/120056•Rare Vintage-era overhead-camshaft sports model•Present ownership since 1990•Offered for restorationOriginally manufacturers of proprietary engines, the Stevens brothers of Wolverhampton introduced the first AJS motorcycle in 1911. Those first AJS machines were sidevalve-engined lightweights offered with belt-drive transmission or optional all-chain drive with a two-speed countershaft gearbox. This latter feature enabled them to put up a good showing in the Isle of Man TT's new Junior Class, an event AJS would later dominate. Eric Williams scored the marque's maiden Junior TT victory in 1914, and the first post-war Junior event saw the new overhead-valve AJS in commanding form. Indeed, so good was the newcomer that Howard Davies rode it to a unique double victory the following year, winning both the Junior and Senior TTs. In 1927 AJS's works 350cc racers appeared with a new overhead-camshaft engine. The camshaft was chain driven, its distinctive cast alloy case extending forwards to the front-mounted magneto. A catalogued model from 1928, the 'cammy' AJS was built in 350 and 500cc capacities initially, dry-sump lubrication being an unusual feature of the engines, which were carried in open diamond frames. A 250cc version followed, Jimmy Guthrie winning the Lightweight TT on one in 1930. Produced for only four seasons, the AJS overhead-camshaft racers were casualties of the Matchless take-over in 1931. Purchased at a UK auction in February 1990 (invoice on file), this AJS K10 project comes with an old-style continuation logbook (1949) and a (part) old-style V5 document. However, it cannot be ascertained whether or not these documents relate to this motorcycle as the frame number has been obscured by the swinging-arm conversion. In any case, the registration 'TK 649' is not listed in the HPI database; accordingly, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding. Overhead-camshaft racing motorcycles of the Vintage period are rare, which makes this challenging AJS K10 project an exciting prospect for the dedicated motorcycle restorer.

Property of a deceased's estate 1915 Norton 633cc Big 4 Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. O 2559Frame no. 1527Engine no. none visibleHaving hitherto relied on proprietary engines, Norton introduced its own in 1907. The long-stroke (82x120mm) sidevalve single displaced 633cc and the new model it powered became known as the 'Big 4'. Smaller versions followed and in 1911 the '500' adopted the classic 79x100mm bore/stroke dimensions that would characterise the half-litre (actually 490cc) Norton for the next 50 years. Norton's sidevalves were revised for 1914 and in 1921 the Model 16, as it had become known, received a new lower frame, becoming the 16H. Considered by many to be an ideal sidecar 'tug', the Big 4 (and 16H) would be continuously updated for the next 30-plus years, many seeing service with Allied forces in WW2. Post-war, the Big 4 was revised with a shorter (113mm) stroke for a capacity of 597cc before taking its final bow, alongside the 16H, in 1954. This Big 4 comes with a detached reproduction sidecar chassis and wicker 'chair' in need of restoration. Photographs and correspondence on file suggest that the machine was restored circa 2010, and it is pictured in solo form at the VMCC's 'Festival of 1,000 Bikes' at Mallory Park in July 2011. Additional documentation includes an NOC dating letter; old-style continuation logbook (1963); assorted correspondence; restoration notes and diagrams; and an old-style V5C document. This motorcycle's condition, completeness, and correctness is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
