Lot 1002
C.1955 Bedford TA fire tender, 3,519 cc. Registration number not registered (see text). Chassis number A2C 41607. Engine number A2A3 37141. Bedford was a subsidiary company of Vauxhall Motors which was a provider of commercial vehicles for the UK and export markets. The origins of Vauxhall Motors can be traced to 1857 when Alexander Wilson founded the Vauxhall Iron Works in Wandsworth Road, Vauxhall, London. Vauxhall moved to Luton in 1905 and in November 1925 Vauxhall was acquired by General Motors. During World War II production of civilian vehicles was suspended, and Vauxhall was given the task of building the Churchill tanks. Production resumed after the war using the tried and trusted K, M and O types introduced in 1939, and these gave way in 1951 to the new S type and later its 4x4 relative, the R type. Normal trucks were not neglected with the A type appearing in 1953. Vauxhall had already gone for a transatlantic styling with its E Model Wyvern and Velox saloons, and Bedford followed suit with its mid-range of trucks in 1953. Designated as the TA series, the new range were mechanically very similar to their predecessors, but featured a new Chevrolet-inspired cab. The 'T' designation meant "truck", so the range is generally referred to as the A series. Numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5, identified the weight rating. A factory-fitted Perkins diesel engine was an option. The TA (A) series was updated in 1957, and became the TJ, or J series. This example was one of those exported to Waikato Motors of Hamilton in New Zealand, presumably as a chassis with cab and then the fire tender body added locally by Waikato Motors. It was used at the New Zealand Co-op Dairy Ltd. in Reporoa, North Island and would have led a very gentle life, there not being risk of fire in a milking pallor! Repatriated at some point in time it is in running order but would benefit from some recommissioning and rubber seals. Mileage on the six cylinder petrol engine is probably the indicated 5,500 miles and compares very favourably with the 1954 TA5LC example sold by these rooms on the 3rd March 2019. There is no paperwork with this lot except for a 1955 Instruction Book, AN INTERNAL MEMORANDUM FROM Anchormilk dated 22/08/1994 and buyers should satisfy themselves as to how to register it with DVLA.
Lot 1066
1969 (see text) BSA Super Rocket, 650 cc. Registration number WMC 499G. Frame number GA7 12860 (see text). Engine number DA10 R 9660 HC. One of BSA's most beloved engines, the pre-unit A10 650 joined the 500cc A7 model in 1949. The existing parallel-twin architecture was retained for the A10, with its bolt-upright cylinders, 360-degree crankshaft and single camshaft. In 1955 the A10 Road Rocket arrived with a sporty 40bhp tune courtesy of an aluminium cylinder head. The editors at England's Motor Cycling magazine coaxed their test bike to a top speed of 109mph. For 1958 the model morphed into the Super Rocket, which added a further 3bhp to the package by way of additional cylinder-head tweaks and an Amal Monobloc carburettor, not that the bike was all about speed. "The current model can be throttled back to accept happily the inevitable limitations of built-up area riding," noted Motor Cycling. "In these less spectacular circumstances, one's patience in jogging along at 30mph is rewarded by remarkable - for a lusty 650cc twin - fuel consumption." The Super Rocket would remain in the company catalogue until the 1964 advent of the unit-construction A65s. WMC was first registered with DVLA in January 1969, so it was either reimported then or had been on the shelf until then as the frame number (listed as CA7 on the V5C) and engine number would suggest that it was made in 1963. At this time DVLA did not age relate number plates. Bought by our vendor as a retirement project he had improved the machine with new pipes and sundry wares including a new speedo (the original chronometric is included in the sale at 24,893 miles), it still needs a rev counter drive, although the cable is in place Sold with the V5C, photographic history of the works undertaken, Haynes manual and sundry spares.
Lot 1085
1937 AJS model 37/2, 990 cc. Registration number FNW 366 (non transferrable). Frame number 907. Engine number 2413. Joe Stevens, father of Harry, George, Albert John ('Jack'), and Joe Stevens Junior, was an engineer who owned the Stevens Screw Company Ltd, in Wolverhampton. Stevens had a reputation for quality engineering before the company built its first motorcycle in 1897, using a Mitchell single-cylinder four-stroke imported from the USA. Before long, Stevens began making engines, starting off with a better-built version of the Mitchell but the family soon developed their own designs, including parallel-twins and V-twins, which were sold as proprietary engines to other manufacturers. In 1909, Jack Stevens decided to contest the TT in the Isle of Man and a new company, A J Stevens & Co (AJS), was founded to manufacture motorcycles; the first model appeared at the Motor Cycle Show in 1910. When production of the 350 resumed after the Great War it was much improved. The side-valve engine was replaced by a new overhead-valve design. Cyril Williams won the first post war 1920 Isle of Man TT Junior race on his 350, even though he had to push the motorcycle home for almost four miles (mostly downhill) after a breakdown. AJS took the first four places in the 1921 Isle of Man TT, and Howard R Davies bettered his second place in the Junior by winning the Senior on the same 350 cc AJS. This was the first time a 350 had won the 500 cc Senior TT race. In 1931, the AJS S3 V-twin was released; a 496 cc transverse V-twin tourer with shaft primary drive and alloy cylinder heads. It had been expensive to develop and was slow to sell. Even though it held 117 world records, the AJS Company was now in financial trouble and in 1931 Matchless took over the firm. The existing range continued largely unaltered initially although their 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 for 1933 with the arrival of the Model 2, which was powered by the engine of the long established Matchless Model X. Designated 'X/2' on its launch in 1925, this 982cc sidevalve v-twin would remain in production until the outbreak of WW2, its engine being supplied to Brough Superior for use in the SS80 from 1935 onwards. While lesser models came and went, the stately Model X and Model 2 remained fixtures of their respective ranges, progressively updated, until 1940. FNW was first registered on the 11th September 1937 with a sidecar attached. In 1941 Frank Smith of Kirkburton, near Huddersfield registered it and then in 1953 Peter Hanson of Huddersfield; next was Jack Wheeler of Batley a few months later and then Benjamin Rhodes of Scarborough in 1965 and Edward Reed, again of Scarborough the following year. He used it for a year and parked it in is barn on an inspection pit. This collapsed and the bike disappeared into the pit. It remained there until 2018 when our vendor hired a digger to extract it. Found to be in generally good condition, see image on file, he, a very experienced engineer, set about a comprehensive restoration, refurbishing all of the original parts, including the Burgess exhaust pipes. Sold with the V5C, RF60A, several receipts for work undertaken, this is a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of a very original and rare machine, only fourteen other examples are known to the VMCC. Please note that the speedo drive is missing.
