1964 AJS 31 CSR Bike Year: 1964 Bike Make: AJS Bike Model: 31 CSR Bike Reg No.: BTW677B Bike Frame No.: A-85336 Bike Engine No.: 31CSR-X9672 Bike Colour: Black By 1964 the AMC group were only two years away from complete collapse but still re-designing and developing their range of machines, which was becoming an ever increasing mish-mash of Norton, AMC and other proprietary components. The model nomenclature was, and is still, almost incomprehensible to all but the most dyed in the wool AMC anorak. Consisting of various numbers, not necessarily in sequence, and suffixed by a confusing combination of G, S,C, and R digits the model in question can usually be correctly identified by the engine number and will be within the AJS or Matchless marque designation. The two variants were identical except for badging but inexplicably AJS branded bikes could be some ú25 cheaper than the Matchless equivalent when new. Many major and minor parts are still freely available and can be interchanged between many models making restoration simple, the big 650 twins in particular lend themselves to such projects and can be used satisfactorily under modern road conditions. The later versions enjoy the benefit of complete Norton Roadholder front ends, the excellent AMC designed gearbox and all the other long overdue improvements that the G. B. M. I. discovered when it was just about too late. This 1964 31 CSR example was bought by the vendor in 1998 via Yeomans of Drayton, who kindly and honestly returned the extra ú10 note he had mistakenly included in his payment. It was to be restored but never made it to the top of the pile of projects, so has lain untouched in dry storage since. First registered BTW 677B by dealers Claude Rye, evidenced by the accompanying buff log book, the bike spent it`s early years in Middlesex and Hereford. This machine looks substantially complete and original and is a prime candidate for restoration. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1970 BSA A65 Firebird Bike Year: 1970 Bike Make: BSA Bike Model: A65 Firebird Bike Reg No.: Un-Reg Bike Frame No.: EC22387A65F Bike Engine No.: EC22387A65F Bike Colour: Red / Black During January 1962 BSA announced a new range of parallel twins to replace the ageing A7 and A10 machines. The new models, typed A50 and A65 for the 499cc and 654cc models respectively, featured a unit construction engine and gearbox with particularly clean lines. BSA had paid particular attention to the cylinder head design resulting in healthy power outputs despite comparatively low compression ratios, enabling the use of lower octane fuels and leaving scope for tuning in the future. A duplex cradle frame which drew on the companies experience with the pre unit machines in its design but featured a reduced wheelbase. Styling of the early machines reflected the house style established by the unit construction C series models that had been introduced for the 1959 season. Named the Royal Star for the A50 and Star for the A65 they were well received by the press and public alike, offering good handling and performance with a high level of comfort. 1964 marked the introduction of a higher performance variant, known as the Rocket, which when tested by the "Motor Cycle" achieved a top speed of 108mph. New high lift cams and an increase in the compression ratio to 9:1 accounted for the increase in power output which necessitated a revised, heavy duty clutch. The Rocket was marketed in the States as the Thunderbolt Rocket and was fitted with US style high bars and a small tank. It was complimented by three other models, the A65L/R Lightning Rocket which was fitted with twin carburettors with abbreviated side panels and two off road models in the form of the A50 Cyclone and A65 Spitfire Hornet. For 1965 the US range continued much as the previous year, although the Thunderbolt Rocket was dropped from the range as most buyers had opted for the A65L/R and the Cyclone and Hornet models were joined by "Clubman`s" versions equipped with rear-sets, close ratio gears and dropped bars. The range continued in much the same form for 1966 and 1967, with the Lightning and Thunderbolt, essentially the Rocket and Star with new names providing the basis of the range in the UK, and the Hornet and Wasp (which had replaced the Cyclone) supporting the road models in the States. They were joined by a new "super sports variant", the Spitfire. For the 1968 season the range was simplified. The Hornet was replaced by the Firebird and the Wasp was dropped. The Firebird reflected the change in American tastes, lightweight two strokes were starting to dominate the US off road market, displacing the British "desert sleds" that had previously held sway resulting in the off road orientated British twins becoming more biased towards road use whilst retaining some off road features. The new machine was essentially a Lightning fitted with a high level twin exhaust system and a smaller diameter front light. The Firebird quickly established itself in the market and became a feature in the range until BSA`s demise in 1971. The example of the Firebird offered dates from the models penultimate year of production. Described as being in as new condition throughout, it has benefitted from all new engine internals, new carburettors and electronic ignition. The numbers match and are correct for a Firebird dating from the 1969/70 season. It is offered without documents and the purchaser should note that the engine will require "running in".

Honda CZ100 Bike Make: Honda Bike Model: CZ100 Bike Reg No.: BDV369B Bike Frame No.: 500235 Bike Engine No.: C100E-63890 Bike Colour: Red The little 49cc over head valve single cylinder engine and gearbox unit that was introduced with the C100 Cub in 1958 provided the power unit for a variety of ultra-lightweight machines produced by Honda, the most distinctive of which was and remains the "Monkey Bike. The concept of the "mini motorcycle" was not a new one, with machines such as the Corgi in the UK and the Mustang in the States achieving varying degrees of popularity. With the introduction of the Monkey Bike, Honda did with the mini bike concept what they were to do so well in other areas of motorcycle design, they took an idea and refined it to the point where it became accessible to non motorcyclists. The C100 power unit was both refined and reliable requiring little in the way of maintenance and was housed in a simple rigid frame with unsprung forks riding on five inch diameter wheels. A thickly padded single seat provided adequate comfort for the short trips the machine was intended to undertake and a simple electrical system was fitted, whilst the provision of folding handlebars meant that the little machine could be tucked away when not in use. Supported by an extensive dealer network the little machine quickly gained a healthy following being used as a tender to caravans and yachts, a leisure vehicle in its own right, usable by children aged 4 or 5 to 80 and as a paddock bike, quickly becoming as much a part of the motorsport landscape as Bell Helmets, Castrol R and Heuer watches. This well presented, original example of the CZ100 has been housed in a private collection and is said to have good, red paintwork and sound brightwork.

2004 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet Car Year: 2004 Car Manufacturer: Volkswagen Car Model: Beetle Cabriolet Car Reg No.: RG53FYZ Car Chassis No.: WVWZZZ1YZ4M325601 Car Colour: Blue Following positive public reaction to Volkswagen`s retro-themed Concept 1, the similarly-styled but quaintly entitled `VW New Beetle` went on sale in 1998. Though outwardly inspired by Dr Porsche`s original people`s car, the layout of the newcomer`s Golf-based mechanicals could hardly have been more different, with a front-mounted engine driving the front wheels rather than a rear-placed one powering the back ones. Of course `dubbers` like to customise, and even VW itself was quick to create some special editions of the model. `RG53 FYZ` is certainly special, but the work of a group of independent experts rather than the manufacturer. Conceived by Oxford Edition and using one of their wives` Aquarius Blue Cabriolets as a base, it was given a thorough mechanical going over by renowned VW/Audi tuners, APS of Brackley. The original engine was ousted in favour of an Audi S3 1.8T unit that was then treated to APS stage 1 software, 3 inch downpipe, and cat-less 3 inch exhaust system exiting where the fog and reverse lights had once been - the output was around 270bhp. The unit drives through a six-speed SEAT Cupra R gearbox to a Quaife limited slip differential. The Beetle sits on colour-keyed 19 inch Techart five spoke alloys behind which custom hubs are braked by Porsche Cayenne callipers and ECS discs. The suspension is lowered and equipped with KW coil-overs. Outside, the eye-catching speedster-style bodywork has been smoothed and blended, the wheel arched pulled, and all glass apart from the windscreen removed along with the hood and its mechanism. The area behind the Recaro bucket seats is topped off with a bespoke panel especially created by Shapecraft. The reworked interior includes an R32 leather steering wheel, TT Quattro Sport gear knob and weighted quickshift, and has been retrimmed in Red leather. A unique creation of enormous character.

1935 Bentley 3.5 Litre Sports Saloon Car Year: 1935 Car Manufacturer: Bentley Car Model: 3.5 Litre Sports Saloon Car Reg No.: BLY 26 Car Chassis No.: B36DG Car Colour: Black It is a sobering thought. Had Rolls-Royce not purchased its financially troubled competitor Bentley in 1931, the world would have been denied the Continental, Turbo R, Mulsanne and countless other iconic models subsequently graced with the `Flying B`. Of particular loss for many, would have been the coachbuilt Derby Bentleys manufactured between 1933 and 1939. Their chassis was derived from an experimental supercharged 2.75-litre Rolls-Royce (codenamed Peregrine) that never saw the light of day, and power came from a redesigned and tuned version of the company`s 20/25 engine, initially of 3.5-litres (3669cc). Fed by a pair of SU carburettors, it drove through a four-speed manual gearbox. The suspension was by semi-elliptic springs all-round and braking by servo assisted drums. The newcomer was introduced to the public in the appropriate surroundings of Ascot during August 1933, and production of these 3.5-litre cars continued into 1937; by which time 1,191 examples had been produced. The last year`s allocation was manufactured alongside the incoming 4.25-litre (4257 cc) version that would ultimately supersede the 3.5-litre cars. Coachbuilders and body styles were the preserve of the customer and the following are just a few of the illustrious firms engaged to clothe these fine cars: Park Ward, Barker, Vanden Plas, Thrupp & Maberly, Gurney Nutting, H.J. Mulliner, Hooper, James Young and Arthur Mulliner. The Derby Bentley on offer is a 1935 3.5 Litre Sports Saloon by Park Ward. The purposefully elegant coachwork is finished in Black and complemented by a Grey leather interior. `BLY 26` was reportedly treated to a restoration by Nixons of Braintree, Essex in 2006 and is now regarded by the vendor as having "very good" interior trim, engine and gearbox and "good" bodywork and paintwork. The Derby comes complete with working sunroof and is MOT`d through to April of next year. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com
1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mark 2 Vantage Car Year: 1970 Car Manufacturer: Aston Martin Car Model: DB6 Mark 2 Vantage Car Reg No.: UKX644J Car Chassis No.: DB6MK2/4241/R Car Colour: Bahama Yellow CURRENT OWNERSHIP SINCE 1974, NEVER RESTORED AND 38,000 MILES FROM NEW Entering production in July 1969 but not formally unveiled for another month, the rakishly elegant DB6 Mk2 was the ultimate evolution of the iconic Aston Martin DB4/DB5/DB6 line. Sharing the same sheet steel platform chassis as its immediate predecessor complete with all-round coil-sprung suspension (independent double wishbone front, trailing arm / beam axle rear), four-wheel disc brakes and Armstrong Select-a-ride adjustable rear shock absorbers, the newcomer nevertheless incorporated a host of detail improvements. Sharper and more responsive to drive thanks to wider wheels and fatter tyres (hence the need for its trademark flared wheelarches), the Mk2 also benefited from the provision of standard-fit power assisted rack and pinion steering. Automatic transmission remained a `no cost` option, while cars equipped with the five-speed ZF manual gearbox gained a lower first gear ratio and more positive Borg & Beck clutch. The fabulous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine could be had with a nascent form of electronic fuel injection. However, the majority of buyers wisely opted for carburettor-fed variants in standard (triple SU, 282bhp) or high-performance Vantage (triple Weber, 325bhp) tune. Indeed so troublesome did the AE Brico EFI system prove that several Mk2s were converted to Vantage specification by the factory. Revised seating both front and rear meant that the last of the classic DB-series family could also lay claim to being the most comfortable. Only in production until November 1970, just 239 DB6 Mk2 saloons are thought to have been made (of which a mere 46 and 71 were reputedly to Fuel Injected and Vantage specification respectively). According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example - chassis number DB6MK2/4241/R - was completed on March 13th 1970. One of just three DB6 Mk2s known to have been factory finished in Bahama Yellow - a colour made famous by the Aston Martin DBS that Roger Moore`s character Lord Brett Sinclair drove in cult TV series `The Persuaders` - it was the sole member of the trio to roll off the production line with a Vantage engine. Road registered as `UKX 644J` by Buckinghamshire County Council on December 1st 1970, the Aston Martin was despatched to dealer Maurice Leo Ltd six days later. Entering the current ownership on July 3rd 1974 at 31,009 miles, the distinctively hued grand tourer was purchased from sometime Wiscombe Park competitor and commentator C.A.R. Elwell Esq. (the son-in-law of its first keeper). Laid-up between October 1974 and July 1977 due to work pressures, `UKX 644J` has been sparingly exercised ever since save for jaunts to Dunblane, Scotland and Silverstone, Northants. Reportedly "driven on just one wet day in the last twenty years", the DB6 Mk2 Vantage shares garage space with a DB6 Mk1 Vantage sibling. Treated to a stainless steel exhaust and Kenlowe fans during Mr Elwell`s tenure, the Aston Martin has been routinely serviced by the vendor (an AMOC member). Never allowed to deteriorate to the point of needing restoration, `UKX 644J` is quite exceptional in retaining its original factory paintwork, Black leather upholstery and major mechanical components. Starting readily upon inspection and apparently showing over 100lb/sqin oil pressure @ 3,000rpm when warm, chassis DB6MK2/4241/R showed no signs of major structural repair and was notable for the ease with which its bonnet, boot and doors opened and closed. Aside from the microblistering which began to materialise on certain panels during the 1980s, the Aston Martin remains highly presentable (though, a bodywork specialist could doubtless freshen its appearance). Interestingly, a professional chassis inspection carried out on August 1st 1995 failed to unearth any corrosion issues but did prompt a thorough Waxoyling. Older mechanical repairs have included a reconditioned fuel pump, recalibrated rev counter and renewed power steering gaiters, while the past six months have seen the Aston Martin benefit from a new battery, replacement hoses / jubilee clips and five fresh Pirelli tyres. A real testament to Newport Pagnell build quality, `UKX 644J` was chosen by marque historian the late Roger Stowers to feature in the company`s Millenium Calendar entitled `A Celebration of Craftsmanship`. Running on unleaded with a VSP Plus additive following the demise of leaded fuel, the DB6 MK2 is variously described the vendor as being in "original" (bodywork), "working" (electrical equipment), "unmodified" (engine), "working as far as known" (five-speed manual gearbox), "original some microblistering" (paintwork) and "excellent / original" (interior trim) condition. A measure of the care with which the grand tourer has been maintained, its triple Weber carburettors have not needed adjustment for the last thirty-eight years! A true timewarp that would grace the preservation class of many a concours event, `UKX 644J` has covered a warranted 38,800 miles from new. Quite simply the most original DB6 MK2 Vantage we have encountered, this extraordinary motor car is offered for sale with its original cooling fan, handbook, tool kit and jack not to mention a tailored car cover and sheaf of MOTs dating back to November 13th 1974 (the present certificate being valid until January 9th 2013).

1984 Daimler DS 420 Limousine Car Year: 1984 Car Manufacturer: Daimler Car Model: DS 420 Limousine Car Reg No.: B55 AUC Car Chassis No.: SADDWATL3AC200549 Car Colour: Dark Grey Daimler`s DS420 was produced between 1968 and 1992 and was effectively the replacement for the Majestic Major-based DR450 and the ubiquitous Austin Princess. An imposing-looking executive limousine it served as an official state car in many countries - not least for the House of Windsor. It also found favour with numerous embassies, local authorities, funeral parlours and up-market hotels (eg the Inter-Continental in Hong Kong alone is said to have purchased 22 DS420s over the years). It was based on a lengthened version of the Jaguar 420G platform and powered by a 4.2-litre, 245bhp derivative of the DOHC straight-six race-proved XK engine. Notable roles for examples of the model have ranged from serving as the hearse and mourning limousine at Princess Diana`s funeral and providing transport to Heathrow Airport for Commander Bond and Moneypenny in the 1997 film Tomorrow Never Dies. A total of some 4,116 DS420s were produced. The right-hand drive DS420 being sold was first registered on August 29th 1984 to a Sheik (who would later become a prominent member of his country`s government), care of the Qatar Embassy, Chesham Place, London. It is finished in a suitably stately shade of Dark Grey and has a Light Grey leather interior. It comes complete with 1984 bill of sale for ú30,000 and a letter from Jaguar that rather unfortunately refers to The State Of Batar rather Qatar! Up until 1998 it was regularly serviced by nearby H. R. Owen. There are also a couple of service stamps in the name of R.A. Creamer & Son for 2004 and 2005, since when the Daimler would appear to have had very little use. In apparently very good overall condition, `B55 AUC` is now being sold complete with an MOT valid into March of next year. A smart limousine seemingly ready to provide many years` service.
