Original vintage travel advertising poster for Igls, a Tyrolean village near Innsbruck, Austria. The village remains a popular skiing destination and drew international attention when Innsbruck was host city of the Olympic Winter Games in 1964 and 1976, and the natural and artificial luge competitions were held in Igls. Features a fly agaric/ fly amanita mushroom graphic, starting out of a cave into the landscape. Although classified as poisonous, reports of human deaths resulting from A. muscaria ingestion are extremely rare. Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita, is a basidiomycete of the genus Amanita. The main alkaloids in Amanita muscaria are ibotenic acid and muscimol. Both have a psychoactive effect. All Amanita muscaria varieties, but in particular A. muscaria var. muscaria, are noted for their hallucinogenic properties, with the main psychoactive constituents being the neurotoxins ibotenic acid and muscimol. A local variety of the mushroom was used as an intoxicant and entheogen by the indigenous peoples of Siberia and by the Sami, and has a religious significance in these cultures. There has been much speculation on possible traditional use of this mushroom as an intoxicant in other places such as the Middle East, Eurasia, North America, and Scandinavia. Printed by Tiroler Graphik Innsbruck. Good condition, tears, creasing, Country of issue: Austria, designer: Arthur Zelger , size (cm): 94x64, year of printing: 1950s.

Printed by Mourlot, Paris. Serge Lifar ( 1905 - 1986) was a Ukrainian ballet dancer and choreographer, famous as one of the greatest male ballet dancers of the 20th century. Not only a dancer, Lifar was also a choreographer, director, writer, theoretician about dance, and collector. As ballet master of the Paris Opera from 1930 to 1944, and from 1947 to 1958, he devoted himself to the restoration of the technical level of the Paris Opera Ballet, returning it to its place as one of the best companies in the world.

Property of a deceased's estate 1925 Matchless 982cc M3 ProjectRegistration no. TT 4332Frame no. 1676Engine no. M3/725•Rare Vintage-era v-twin•Believed partially restored•Offered for completionUnlike the vast majority of Britain's motorcycle manufacturers, which were located in the Birmingham and Coventry areas, Matchless were based in Plumstead, South London. The name 'Matchless' first appeared in the 1890s on cycles manufactured by H H Collier, whose sons Charlie and Harry would later join him in the business. The firm's first - experimental - motorcycle appeared in 1899 and its first production model in 1902. Already an accomplished cycle racer, Charlie Collier soon turned to racing Matchless motorcycles, as did his brother, and both Colliers would be on the start-line for the inaugural Isle of Man TT race in 1907, Charlie winning the event's single-cylinder class. These early Matchless models were JAP powered but in 1912 the firm introduced a 500cc single of its own design. Nevertheless, within a short time it had gone, along with all the other singles, and for the next several years Matchless built only v-twins. By 1913 there were no fewer than six different models on offer ranging from 3½hp to 8hp in nominal rating. These included twin-cylinder 8hp models, one of which was fitted with a Matchless engine (the 7B) and the other a proprietary MAG. The latter was typed '8B'and later would form the basis for the legendary Model H motorcycle combination. Reluctant to remain reliant on outside suppliers, Matchless introduced a 982cc 50-degree v-twin engine of its own design for 1925, although it did bear a strong resemblance to the contemporary JAP. This new engine went into the M/3 model, which replaced the JAP-powered M/2. It is not known when the vendor's late father purchased this Matchless M3. Acquired as a project, the machine appears to have undergone some refurbishment relatively recently, the frame, tinware and engine being believed restored. The Matchless appears largely complete, although the gearbox has been dismantled. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness or otherwise prior to bidding. Complete or not, this rare Matchless, once finished, will afford its new owner with the hugely enjoyable experience of riding a highly capable Vintage-era v-twin. The machine comes with a V5C Registration Certificate and is sold strictly was viewed.Offered without 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 biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1968 Matchless 497cc G80CS Registration no. NHU 457FFrame no. C11540Engine no. G80CS/ 5559Although they never possessed the financial resources of chief rival BSA, Associated Motor Cycles (AMC) established a formidable reputation in off-road competition in the 1950s, winning the British 500cc Moto-Cross Championship on four occasions, while in the USA, desert race victories by riders such as Walt Fulton and Bud Ekins ensured a healthy demand for AMC's Matchless G80CS and AJS 18CS scramblers. Production of the G80CS ceased in August 1965 but this example was not first registered until January 1968. Purchased from the preceding owner, who had struggled to kick it over because of the high compression, 'NHU 457F' is a lovely original example, currently displaying a believed-genuine total of 13,010 miles on the odometer. The engine does not turn over and the machine will need re-commissioning before further use. Sold strictly as viewed, this rare G80CS is offered with a V5C.Offered without 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 biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1947 Douglas 348cc T35 SportsRegistration no. XVS 818Frame no. T35/S/4935/SSEngine no. T35/S 4935SDouglas 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 engine/gearbox was of unitary construction, while the frame displayed even greater innovation with its swinging-arm torsion-bar rear suspension and Radiadraulic leading-link front fork. Its advanced running gear endowed the Douglas with excellent handling and steering characteristics, while the willing engine could propel the 'Duggie' at up to 70mph and return 60-plus miles per gallon. Acquired by the vendor (a Douglas OC member) in March 2000, this rare and sought-after post-war Douglas is presented in 'oil rag' condition but will need re-commissioning following a period of inactivity (the engine turns over with compression). The machine is offered with old/current V5C documents. Offered without keyFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1977 Laverda 981cc 3CL ProjectRegistration no. not UK registeredFrame no. 5123Engine no. 5123Introduced in 1972, the 3C (later 3CL) was the first of Laverda's much admired family of classic three-cylinder 'muscle bikes' that would do so much to establish its reputation as one of Italy's foremost purveyors of high-performance motorcycles. Imported from Spain, this Laverda 3CL was purchased from Mdina Italia of West Sussex in 1994 by the current owner, who then commenced a full restoration. The engine was totally rebuilt and many other parts refurbished and repainted. However, the rebuild ground to a halt in the 1990s and the machine was then dry stored for the following 25-or-so years. Offered now for completion and accompanied by a large quantity of parts, some refurbished and others new or original items, this rare 3CL represents a most rewarding project for the successful purchaser. The machine is offered with the 1994 purchase receipt and a Spanish registration document.

c.1980 Suzuki RG500 Racing MotorcycleFrame no. RG500-11354Engine no. RG500-11354•Matching numbers•Original specification•Requires re-commissioningSix years out of Grand Prix racing, Suzuki returned in 1973 with a roadster-based TR500 twin for works rider Jack Findlay and, after what was essentially an interim season, was ready to take on the MV Agusta and Yamaha's TZ500 in the 500cc class. The Hamamatsu firm already had plenty of experience of 'square four' engines in the form of the defunct RZ63 250, and this compact layout was revived for its new premier-class racer: the RG500. Based on the square-four cylinder layout of Suzuki's earlier 250, the RG500 was first used by the works in 1974. In its first incarnation the water-cooled two-stroke employed bore/stroke dimensions of 56x50.5mm and featured twin geared-together crankshafts and a six-speed gearbox. Dimensions of 54x54mm were adopted later by the works bikes but the customer version, available from 1976, stuck with the original combination until the MkIV's arrival in 1979. The RG's initial maximum power output of 90bhp was eventually upped to nearer 150bhp before the factory switched to a V4 for 1987. By then the RG500 had won seven manufacturers' titles for Suzuki and provided Britain's Barry Sheene with his two World Championships. From 1983 onwards the pace of development slackened and the RG500 was less competitive with rivals Honda and Yamaha. The class of the field in its day, the RG500 provided talented privateers with a competitive mount at the highest level, and Jack Middleburgh's 1981 British Grand Prix-winning example remains the last entirely private entry to win a premier-class World Championship round. Although technically complex, the customer version was deservedly popular and many are still in action today in Post-Classic racing. The RG500 offered here will require full re-commissioning as its history is not known and neither is the date when it was last used. Notable features of this rare, matching-numbers example include the standard production frame; standard brake discs and callipers; believed original paintwork; thumb-operated choke lever; and magnesium engine cases, Mikuni carburettors, and throttle twist-grip. A nice example.

The ex-Cecil Sandford 1946 Velocette 248cc MOV Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. FNX 255Frame no. 3142Engine no. 6162•Unique British 250-class racer•Built by Arthur Taylor•Isle of Man TT competitor (1949)•Restored in 1999•Present ownership since 2010The machine offered here is one of the most successful of the many 'home brewed' British 250 specials that featured on the domestic racing scene in the 1940s and 1950s. A 1946 Velocette MOV, 'FNX 255' was owned and prepared by Shipston-on Stour Velocette agent, Arthur Taylor, competing at first in trials and scrambles events before being converted for road racing. Its rider was a young Cecil Sandford, Taylor's protégé and later his son-in-law, who would go on to become the 125cc World Champion for MV Agusta in 1952 and take the 1957 250 World title while riding for Mondial. He retired from racing when Mondial pulled out at the end of the '57 season and later took over the management of his father-in-law's motor business, A R Taylor Garages Ltd. After its conversion for road racing, the Taylor MOV was ridden in the Isle of Man Lightweight TT in 1949 by L R Higgins, who recounted the story in an article published in The Motor Cycle on 8th September 1949 (copy available). The little Velo had been prepared in Taylor's workshop by his chief mechanic, Ted Clark, under the supervision of Bob Burgess, formerly with Veloce Ltd. Remarkably, the cycle parts were left virtually standard apart from swapping the original girder fork for Dowty telescopics, most of the development work being concentrated on extracting more power from the pushrod engine. To this end the latter was equipped with a Wellworthy Alfin alloy cylinder barrel, an aluminium bronze head incorporating modified ports and valves, a Martlet high-compression piston and a larger-than-standard carburettor. After bench testing and fine tuning, the motor's maximum power had been raised to 20bhp on a 50/50 petrol/benzole mixture with 18-19 horsepower anticipated on 'Pool' petrol. 'This figure compared poorly with the power output of the Guzzis,' Higgins conceded, 'but was probably better than a great many of our British contemporaries.' Over on the Island the gear ratios were made closer, bottom gear being raised, and the little Velo set off on its first practice laps. On three successive mornings the MOV stopped with valve gear problems, leading to a rethink which saw the engine slightly de-tuned for the race in the interests of reliability. By the end of the week the Taylor Velocette had completed two non-stop trouble-free practice laps, although its top speed had been reduced from 92 to 85mph. In the race itself Higgins was enjoying a dice with the slightly faster New Imperial ridden by Reg Petty, only to slide off at Keppel Gate on the first lap. The Velo's Dowty forks were twisted in the crash making it impossible to continue. In his book, British 250cc Racing Motorcycles, Chris Pereira recounts that later developments included a post-war MAC alloy head modified to take hairpin valve springs, a megaphone exhaust system and an Amal TT carburettor. Despite its humble origins, the Taylor MOV was successfully transformed into a highly capable performer, especially on the shorter, tighter tracks. With Cecil Sandford riding it continued to win well into the 1950s, laying the foundations for his later success at international level. On occasions the MOV would get the better of pukka racing machines. Pereira quotes Sandford on a particular instance: 'I was due to ride one of the new Velocette works double overhead cam 250s at the Thruxton International meeting in August 1951. Arthur and I had taken the MOV with us just in case. It was a pretty awful wet day, which made me realise that the works bike, with its narrow power band, would prove tricky to ride in the prevailing conditions. I therefore made the decision to ride the MOV instead. This did not please team manager Bertie Goodman. My decision proved to be correct, and I won the race fairly easily on the MOV, with my team mates Bob Foster and Bill Lomas second and third on the works bikes.'The current vendor purchased the ex-Sandford MOV at Bonhams' Stafford sale in April 2010 (Lot 373). Restored in 1999 and presented in generally good condition, 'FNX 255' is offered with a comprehensive history file containing correspondence, photographs, press cuttings, and its original logbook listing A R Taylor Garages as the sole owner (inspection recommended). A rare opportunity to acquire a unique British racing '250' associated with one of this country's greatest World Champions.

From the estate of the late Bill Grove 1921 Wooler 348cc Model BRegistration no. BD 5253Frame no. B290Engine no. 290•Owned by the VMCC's Wooler marque specialist, Bill Grove •An older restoration•Last used at the 2015 Beamish Run (Durham)A byword for engineering eccentricity, Wooler displayed its first motorcycle at the 1911 Olympia Show where it was hailed by the press as 'The greatest novelty in the Show'. The machine was the work of John Wooler, who would go on to design a succession of bizarre motorcycles over the course of the next 40 years. Wooler's first design was powered by a 230cc two-stroke engine that featured a double-acting piston in an enclosed cylinder. This highly unusual power unit was carried in a frame that employed plunger springing for both wheels, while another unique feature was the tapering, missile-shaped fuel tank, protruding in front of the steering head, which gave the machine a distinctly futuristic appearance, at least by the standards of 1911. A winged spanner was chosen as the company's emblem: referring to the fact that supposedly only two sizes of fastening had been used throughout the machine.No Woolers were produced during WWI and when production recommenced in 1919 it was with a horizontally-opposed twin-cylinder four-stroke boasting inlet-over-exhaust valve gear: the Model B. The two-stroke's frame and cycle parts were carried over, as was the protuberant fuel tank, though this was now of a more angular, coffin-like shape. A predominantly yellow colour scheme was adopted, giving rise to the famous 'Flying Banana' nickname. This rare Wooler belonged to the VMCC's marque specialist Trevor William 'Bill' Grove of Northamptonshire. The Wooler was purchased in 1993 from Bill's employer Mr E A Timson shortly before the Regent in this sale (Lot 509), both machines being 'basket cases' when acquired. Unfortunately Bill fell ill after the 2015 Beamish Run and the Wooler and Regent were put into storage where they have remained ever since. Both are older restorations presented in 'as last used' condition (the Wooler carries a tax disc that expired in August 2015). Sadly, Bill passed away in 2020, hence the reason for sale. Following a period of inactivity and storage, the machine will require re-commissioning at the very least, or possibly more extensive restoration, before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. In 1996 Timson's presented Bill with a Certificate of Achievement for the Wooler's restoration (copy available but original being retained). Additional paperwork includes V5/V5C documents; a VMCC machine examiner's report; and a printed copy of Bill's illustrated restoration diary. The machine also comes with a quantity of mainly Wooler engine spares and some other original parts (including the remains of the fuel tank).

From the estate of the late Bill Grove 1920 Regent 688ccRegistration no. BS 9429Frame no. 69Engine no. E5-564•Owned by the VMCC's Regent marque specialist, Bill Grove•Exceptionally rare make•An older restoration•Not used since circa 2014 'Small manufacturer, who fitted 688cc Coventry-Victor flat twin sv engines into heavy frames of own design and manufacture.' – Erwin Tragatsch, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Motorcycles. Some measure of Regent's obscurity may be gained from the fact that the foregoing is all that Tragtasch has to say about this little-known make. Set up in London in 1919, Regent Motors approached Coventry Victor for the supply of their motorcycle's sidevalve engines and other components, which were assembled initially in Coventry and then sent down to London for finishing. Although Regent Motors folded after only a year or two, Coventry Victor took over manufacture and sold its first motorcycle products under the Coventry Regent name. The marque became plain Coventry Victor from around 1920 and before the decade's end had branched out into motorcar manufacture. Complete vehicles were produced up to 1938, whereafter the firm concentrated on its general engineering business, finally disappearing in 1991.This ultra-rare motorcycle from a long-forgotten make belonged to the VMCC's Regent marque specialist Trevor William 'Bill' Grove of Northamptonshire. The Regent was purchased shortly after the Wooller in this sale (Lot 508) both machines being 'basket cases' when acquired. Unfortunately Bill fell ill after the 2015 Beamish Run and the Wooler and Regent were then put in the garage where they have been stored ever since. Both are older restorations presented in 'as last used' condition (the Regent carries a tax disc that expired in February 2015). Sadly, Bill passed away in 2020, hence the reason for sale. Following a period of inactivity and storage, the machine will require re-commissioning at the very least, or possibly more extensive restoration, before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Noteworthy features include a Sturmey Archer gearbox, Binks carburettor, and Klaxon horn. Documents include a V5C; a numberplate certificate; a dating certificate from The Society of Automotive Historians dated 10.2.05; and a printed copy of Bill's illustrated restoration diary.

1925 Sunbeam 500cc Model 11 SprintRegistration no. FC 9062Frame no. OS 273Engine no. 229/350•One of only 18 Sprints known to exist worldwide•One of only two 1925 Model 11 Sprint's recorded•Meticulously restored•One of the rarest and most desirable Vintage Sunbeam'sJohn Marston, a successful maker of domestic wares in Paul Street, Wolverhampton, ventured into bicycle-making in 1887. Sold as 'The Sunbeam', his machines soon became famous for their beautiful, black-japanned and gold-leaf finish and were always expensive, their arrival coinciding perfectly with the boom in 'society' cycling in the 1890s. Marston prospered and the company's first car was made in 1899, although motorcycles were not made until 1912.For such a traditional firm, the entry into competition with new product was startlingly swift. The 1914 2¾hp and the 3½hp models proved successful in long-distance trials and road-racing from the start, the '3½' obtaining a solid 2nd place, ridden by H R Davies, in the 1914 Senior TT. At this time, a young and talented engineer and rider, George Dance, joined the company.Following the Great War and the death of John Marston in 1918, 'The Sunbeam' continued competing with enormous success. Two of Sunbeam's specialities were sprints and hill-climbs for which Dance, now acknowledged as chief tuner, developed a series of astonishingly fast OHV 'Dance Specials', which he and fellow development rider Charles Waterhouse used to dominate the field. The taciturn Dance was considered almost unbeatable in the 350 and 500 classes. Often winning every class in an event, he was immensely successful at Style, Kop, Pendine and Brooklands. Though less prominent in writeups now, Waterhouse also made an important contribution to Sunbeam motorcycling in the post-Great War and early 1920s era. Racing in the TT and speed trials, he took 1st-in-class awards at the Western Centre A-CU Hereford Speed Trials on 4th April 1925. This was the last event held on public roads of that era, following the incident the previous Saturday at Kop Hill which led the RAC and A-CU to cancel speed events on open highways. Though no authentic Dance machine is known to exist, his tuning genius resulted in the briefly catalogued 'Sprint' models, representing a synthesis of everything he had developed in a limited-edition sprinter. Two models were listed: the 350cc Model 10 and 500cc Model 11. Discontinued by 1926, when the public-road events for which it was designed were outlawed, the 'Sprint' was made in tiny numbers and authentic survivors are very rare; the Marston Sunbeam Club records only 18 Sprints of both types known to exist worldwide. 'FC 9062' is a 500cc Model 11 Sprint, and one of only two 1925 machines recorded. It was registered to The Layton Garages in Oxford as a 'Sunbeam 3½hp 250 lbs' on 17th July 1925, and while no period racing is currently traced to this machine, it has been said that Layton were known for supplying Oxford undergraduates with competition mounts, which may hint at the original purchaser. The bike has been known to the Marston Sunbeam Club for many years, being owned prior to 1981 by George Robinson of Darlington, then John Browne of Oxford, with one further owner before passing to the current owner at Bonhams' Stafford Sale in October 2012. While complete and original, when the bike was re-commissioned it became clear that many years of use were reflected in the engine, transmission and running gear. This overhaul evolved into a meticulous, full restoration covering all aspects. Works carried out included rebuilding the gearbox with new gears cut; engine fully rebuilt; wheels rebuilt; new tyres; brakes overhauled; carburettor overhauled; original cork clutch replaced with a stronger Triumph unit; straight-through exhaust fitted; seat recovered; full frame and tinware repaint; and all brightwork re-nickled. The result is the splendid machine presented here today. During restoration, the decision was made to preserve the original engine cases and use a replacement set cast from the originals. The original cases are fundamentally sound and offered with the machine should the new owner wish to re-employ them.During its club life, 'FC 9062' has attended many club rallies as well as being ridden at Banbury, Goodwood, Silverstone, the Isle of Man and Brooklands events. The bike comes with a V5C; a quantity of spare parts (including those items that were replaced during the restoration); some period photographs from the 1960s and '70s; and a history file. The 'Sprint' has always been one of the rarest and desirable of Sunbeam's Vintage models and opportunities to own such machines are few. The bike is fully overhauled and ready to be enjoyed, either to race or simply admire.Offered without 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 biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

OEC also made its own engines under the 'Atlanta' name but mainly relied on proprietary power units, mostly from Blackburne, during the 1920s. As well as the patented duplex steering, introduced in 1927, the firm offered rear springing from 1929. An option at first, this looked like a 'plunger' arrangement but in fact used a pivoted fork. By the late 1930s the rear springing was standard and the duplex steering optional. Blackburne, JAP and Matchless engines were used in the early/mid-1930s, then AJS engines from early 1937 onwards. There were also some Villiers-engined lightweights. This rare OEC-Blackburne v-twin comes with its original buff logbook issued on 19th April 1922 when the machine was licensed as a 'Bicycle & Sidecar'. Licensing is recorded up to 1925. Retaining its original frame and engine, the machine had been loosely assembled in the then owner's loft when the immediately preceding owner purchased it around 2009. The OEC had already been restored to its present condition when the current vendor purchased it on the 20th June 2021. Offered with a substantial history file and a V5C.

1923 Douglas 595cc 4HPRegistration no. YA 5352Frame no. 15478Engine no. 14393The Douglas flat twin, built in the Hanham Road works in the Kingswood area of Bristol, enjoyed a fine reputation enhanced by first and second places in the 1912 Isle of Man TT Junior class. The name was further improved with a government contract for 25,000 of the military version following the outbreak of the 1914-18 World War. In the 1920s the company was honoured with a Royal Warrant to supply motorcycles to the Princes Albert and Henry and in 1923 the sporting reputation was confirmed with domination of the TT: third in the 350cc Junior race, first in the 500cc Senior event and victory in the very first Sidecar TT.Owned by the same family of engineers since 1953, this rare example of the 4HP Douglas was restored by the vendor's father soon after purchase and it is a tribute to the quality of his work that the machine has not been further restored. First used as occasional pleasure transport by the man who had competed on Douglas machines in both grass track and scrambles in the 1930s, it served its new owner well until it was exhibited in the Local Business Area of Bristol Museum from 1958 to 1972. It was inherited by his son in 1975 and has been used for pleasure rides until recent times, being last ridden in 2020. It has been garaged and occasionally started since then and will require a thorough check before taking to the roads again.Offered without 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 biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1952 Bown 122cc Tourist Trophy ProjectRegistration no. XMK 159Frame no. S125Engine no. 32703D•Featured in Motor Cycling, 24th July 1952 edition•Present ownership since 1987•Offered for restorationA marque active in the early 1920s, Bown was revived as the name for a revised version of the Aberdale autocycle in 1950. Like most of its independent contemporaries, South Wales-based Bown relied on Villiers engines and soon added a lightweight motorcycle powered by the 98cc 1F unit to its range, which was followed by a 122cc Tourist Trophy model with the 10D engine and three-speed foot-change gearbox. The engine/gearbox unit was housed in a duplex cradle frame with rigid rear end and MP telescopic forks up front. A top speed of 49mph and fuel consumption of around 100mpg were recorded in toad tests. Production of Villiers-engined machines ceased in 1954, though Bown reappeared briefly in 1956/57 with an imported moped powered by an Austrian Fichtel & Sachs engine. This rare Bown is the actual Tourist Trophy model that was featured in a road-test article - 'A New Villiers-engined Lightweight with an Above-average Performance' - for Motor Cycling magazine of 24th July 1952 (an original copy of the magazine is included in the sale). Motor Cycling summed up the Bown thus: '...a high-performance quality lightweight motorcycle capable of satisfying, or even exceeding, the requirements of the man who wishes to travel economically and comfortably, but with reasonable despatch and confident of complete reliability.' After being featured in the magazine, the Bown was purchased by the South Reading Motor Cycle Club and loaned to a local teaching scheme for pupils to learn to ride (photograph on file). When the scheme came to an end in 1959, a club member purchased the Bown. The motorcycle then had sporadic use over the following years before being rediscovered in a garden. In the early 1970s, the Bown was re-homed again by another club member. The lady vendor's late father acquired the Bown in 1987 and exhibited it at local classic vehicle shows. Her father started to dismantle the Bown with the intention to restore it, but, sadly, a serious motorcycle accident in 1991 curtailed his plans and the motivation to continue stopped. The Bown then remained in the garage until his death in 2018 when it was moved into storage by his daughter. Offered for restoration, the machine comes with (copy) old V5 and current V5C registration documents, both with the same clerical error concerning the frame number, which is incorrectly recorded as '5125' (should be 'S125').

Property of a deceased's estate 1933 Sunbeam 493cc Model 95Registration no. JW 3681Frame no. FX144Engine no. 95L.495.1X.496 (see text)•Rare last-of-the line sporting Sunbeam•Potentially an experimental or prototype machine, possibly for competition use•The only machine recorded in the Sunbeam Register with an 'FX' frame number prefix.By the mid-1920s George Dance's development programme had moulded the overhead-valve Sunbeam into one of the most formidable racing motorcycles of the Vintage era, the 500cc TT Model 90 in particular being a match for anything in its class by the decade's end. Despite the wholesale failure of the works 350s in the 1928 Isle of Man Junior TT, Sunbeam at last came good in the Senior event, Charles Dodson winning an eventful race after crashing and remounting. Dodson triumphed again in the Senior in 1929, the year turning out to be an outstanding one for Sunbeam with wins at the French, German, Austrian and Italian Grands Prix. 1930 was Rudge's year at the Isle of Man, and with its Competitions Department's activities severely curtailed because of Depression-induced financial cutbacks, Sunbeam was never again in the hunt for TT honours.Introduced for 1933 after a try out at the previous year's Isle of Man TT races, the Model 95 was an improved Model 90. Most obvious external differences between it and its predecessor were the newcomer's larger fuel tank, positive-stop foot change, bigger brakes and a revised single-port bronze cylinder head with downdraft inlet port, while inside the engine the lubrication system was improved. Top speed was in the region of 95mph with 80mph attainable in third gear and 71mph in second. Three versions: 95; 95L (lights-equipped); and 95R (racing) were produced over only three seasons (1933-1935), though very few were sold in '33, and today this rare last-of-the line sporting Sunbeam is highly prized. This early Model 95 was first registered (in the Wolverhampton area) on 14th October 1933. It is one of only a tiny handful of Sunbeams to include an 'X' in the frame and engine numbers, this marking being thought to denote experimental or prototype machines, possibly for competition use. This Model 95 is the only machine recorded in the Sunbeam Register to have an 'FX' frame number prefix.It is not known when the vendor's late father acquired this rare Sunbeam 95, but it must have been prior to November 1983 when the accompanying old-style V5 document was issued. An older restoration, 'JW 6831' will require re-commissioning before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed, its mechanical condition being unknown. A rare model, beautiful to look at and reputedly superb to ride, this splendid Sunbeam 95 is sure to delight the fortunate next owner. Offered with an old-style V5C Registration Certificate (recording the engine number as 'EX272').

1936 Montgomery-JAP 245cc TerrierRegistration no. BSL 482Frame no. 9244Engine no. POZ/V 51440/SKMLike many of its contemporaries, including rivals Brough and McEvoy, Montgomery relied heavily on proprietary components, although the frame and forks were manufactured in-house. Indeed, Montgomery supplied frames and its own sprung fork to George Brough in the latter's early days. The company diversified after WWI, extending its line-up to encompass a 147cc two-stroke at the more affordable end of the range while offering a 996cc v-twin at the other. A make that did not re-emerge after WW2, Montgomery is best remembered today for its 8-valve Anzani-engined v-twin: one of the Vintage era's first 'superbikes' and a worthy rival to the Brough Superior SS100. Representing one of Montgomery's more affordable models, this JAP-engined Terrier was purchased privately in a completely dismantled state and restored by the vendor over a period of many years, the rebuild being completed in 2000. Last run in March 2022, the machine has been exhibited at numerous shows in the Coventry area, winning several awards. A rare survivor from one of the most charismatic of British makes, this beautifully restored Montgomery Terrier is offered with its purchase receipt; (copy) old-style V5; and V5C registration document.

G15CS/114189By the mid-1960s, Norton production had been shifted to AMC's Plumstead factory, and in a further move towards product rationalisation, the new G15 roadster (and similar AJS Model 33) was fitted with a Norton engine, hubs and Roadholder forks. CSR sports roadsters and trail-styled CS models followed. This rare, matching-numbers G15CS was built on 16th September 1965 and despatched to Berliner Motors in New Jersey, USA. The machine was imported from Canada in November 1997 by Fairspares (Norvil) of Burntwood, Staffordshire and registered in the UK on 1st September 1999. The machine has been fully restored to a good standard by its late owner and has covered a mere 25 miles since the rebuild's completion. Notable features include 'lead-free' valves and valve seats; cartridge-type oil filter system; stainless steel mudguards; stainless wheel spokes; and all new instruments, electrical equipment, cables, chains, clutch parts and seat (see detailed list of all works carried out on file). The machine caries a tax disc that expired in May 2003, which is when it is believed to have last been used. Re-commissioning will be required before it returns to the road and thus the machine is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over with compression). Accompanying paperwork includes numerous restoration receipts, old/current V5/V5C documents, Ontario document, and an AJS & Matchless OC dating letter.Offered without 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 biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

F5AB/2/3030 Crankcase mating no. 62A/62A•Barn find•Rare post-war single-cylinder model•Matching frame and engine numbers•Believed single family ownership from new•Offered for restorationThe Vincent-HRD marque originated in 1928 when Philip C Vincent acquired the name, jigs, tools and patterns of the recently liquidated HRD Company. ('HRD' stood for Howard Raymond Davies, the Isle of Man TT winner who had founded the firm in 1924). Vincent moved production from Wolverhampton to Stevenage and set about putting his motorcycle design ideas into practice, commencing with an innovative sprung frame that would remain a feature of Vincent motorcycles until production ceased in 1955. Like Davies before him, Vincent relied on proprietary engines until increasing dissatisfaction with suppliers led to the creation of Vincent's own 500cc single in 1934, which was later doubled up to create the legendary Series-A Rapide v-twin. Post-war this situation was reversed, with an all-new v-twin appearing first, in May 1946, followed by the single-cylinder version in 1949. The latter was offered in two forms initially – Series-B Meteor and Series-C Comet – the main differences between the two being the new Girdraulic front fork fitted to the latter, while the former retained the old Brampton girders, and the Meteor's slightly smaller carburettor. When production of Series-B models was phased out during 1950 the Meteor disappeared from the range, making it one of the rarer of post-war Vincent-HRDs. This rare, matching-numbers Vincent-HRD Meteor was delivered new to Jack Surtees' dealership in London in January 1950 and is believed to have had only one owner (the vendor's late father) from new. Showing 16,202 miles on the odometer, the Vincent was last on the road in 1958 and has been stored by the family since then (the last tax disc is still in the holder). Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with documentation consisting of assorted correspondence and sundry bills from the 1950s, including some from the factory and Vincent specialist, George Brown.It should be noted that the registration 'KYP 211' is not recorded in the DVLA or HPI databases.

1961 BMW 590cc R69SRegistration no. 645 KNKFrame no. 655536Engine no. 655536The vendor, a now retired motorcycle dealer, believes that this BMW R69S's displayed mileage of 3,559 is the total covered from new although this is not warranted. The motorcycle was given to him in 1993 by its original owner, a grateful customer. The bike has been laid up for a number of years due to the vendor's poor health. At some point during this period the previously bone dry storage area became damp due to drainage problems from a neighbouring house and garden. By the time the vendor became aware of this situation, the BMW's previously excellent cosmetic condition had deteriorated somewhat. However, it should be noted that the engine turns over and all the gears select however the mechanical condition is unknown. The following components are supplied although not currently fitted: a pair of stainless steel exhaust pipes & silencers in apparently good condition, one carburettor (the other is fitted), the fuel tap, side stand, a toolkit (most of which is believed original, with only a few items missing), and the original BMW instruction manual. A V5C and steering lock key are supplied, but the air cleaner assembly and ignition key are noticeably missing. Accordingly prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Recommissioning and some restoration will obviously be required to return it to its former glory. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a potentially very low mileage two owner R69S, which is offered for sale only because of the vendor's advancing years and recent ill health.

Originally on loan to Phil Read, The Super Bike Magazine Test Bike, and one of only two Boxers sold 1977 MV Agusta 832cc BoxerRegistration no. SAN 524SFrame no. MV750*2210357Engine no. 221-0508•Present ownership since 2009•Museum stored in a temperature controlled environment•Last run in December 2021•11,534 miles from new'Only two motorcycles were imported into Britain and sold as 'Boxers' before car manufacturer Ferrari forced importers Agrati to change the name back to Monza.' – Mick Walker, MV Agusta Fours - The Complete Story. The ultra-rare MV Agusta Boxer (Monza) offered here represents the culmination of the legendary Italian factory's range of four-cylinder superbikes. Developed from its long line of highly successful multi-cylinder racers, MV Agusta's first road-going four - a twin-carburettor, 600cc tourer - appeared in 1965. But the public demanded something more exciting from many-times World Champions MV, and the Gallarate manufacturer duly obliged in 1969, upping capacity to 743cc and further boosting maximum power (to 69bhp) by fitting a quartet of Dell'Orto carburettors to the revised 750GT. Equipped with shaft rather than chain final drive, the latter arguably was more of a tourer than an out-and-out sports bike. Not that many people got to find out for themselves, for the MV was hand made in limited numbers and priced accordingly.Also in the line-up was the more sporting 750S. Its replacement - the 750S America - was introduced for 1976. Bored out to 789cc, the America produced a claimed 75bhp, an output sufficient to propel the Italian sports roadster to 100mph in around 13 seconds and on to a top speed of 135mph. The next stage of development was the Monza. A stretched (to 832cc) version of the 750S America, the Monza was marketed in Britain as the 'Boxer' until complaints from Ferrari (whose sports car had prior claim to the name) forced a change. Cast-alloy wheels, triple Brembo disc brakes, and a fairing - all optional on the 750S America - usually came as standard on the Monza. Motor Cycle magazine's John Nutting wrung 144mph out of a Monza, making it the fastest production machine in the world at that time. It was also the most expensive, costing almost twice as much as a comparable Japanese superbike. The Monza though, would prove to be short-lived and relatively few were made; by 1977 MV's motorcycle division was in administrative receivership and production ceased at the end of the following year.First registered on 14th September 1977, 'SAN 524S' is one of the two Boxers sold as such by Agrati. The other was sold to property developer John Safe, later Chairman of the MV Owners' Club of Great Britain, while this one was loaned by Agusta Concessionaires to former factory star and seven-time World Champion, Phil Read. In 1977, Phil took part in a road test of this Boxer for Super Bike magazine (copy on file). He had this to say about the Boxer: 'Until today, I didn't know what a magnificent bike it is. I've ridden it on the road, but you can't get near the limit there... Now, since riding the MV on a closed circuit in comparison with other road bikes, I've discovered what a superlative sports motorcycle it is.'Acquired by the current vendor on 9th May 2009, this ultra-rare MV four is offered from a private museum collection where it has been stored in a temperature controlled environment. The machine's last important outing was to the 'Made in Italy' rally in Munich, Germany in March 2017, and it was last run in December 2021. Accompanying paperwork includes five MoTs, the earliest issued in June 1988 at 6,242 miles and the most recent in May 2015 at 11,496 miles (the current odometer reading 11,534 miles). The machine also comes with a few bills; copies of previous registration documents; insurance and SORN paperwork; and old/current V5C documents. Presented in generally excellent condition, this beautiful Boxer represents a possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the MV collector.

KD80AE-003097'In 1975 the KD80 appeared as an off-road model for the younger rider, based on an older 90cc machine that had its roots in the earlier days of the firm. It was styled on the lines of the larger trail models but scaled down to suit the user's age.' - Roy Bacon, Kawasaki Z1 to Ninja.Powering Kawasaki's new miniature trail bike was an 80cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine (based on that of the MC1) featuring disc valve induction, which drove via a five-speed gearbox. Cycle parts were entirely conventional (telescopic forks up front and twin shock absorbers at the rear) and the KD80 rolled on 16' front and 14' rear wheels shod with 'knobbly' tyres. The maximum power output was quoted as 6bhp at 6,500rpm. The KD80 was built initially for just the 1975 and 1976 seasons before disappearing from the range, only to return in 1980 as the KD80M, in which form it lasted until 1988. The current vendor purchased this rare Kawasaki off-roader at a UK auction in October 2016, since when it has been kept as part of his extensive private collection within a climate controlled environment.

1950 Rumi 125cc TurismoRegistration no. XBV 901Frame no. 1280Engine no. B 1387Producers of miniature submarines and torpedoes in WW2, the firm headed by Donnino Rumi switched to motorcycle manufacture at the war's end, introducing its first Turismo model at the Milan Trade Fair in 1950. This little gem was powered by what would become Rumi's trademark engine: a 125cc parallel-twin two-stroke, the cylinders of which were inclined horizontally. Built in numerous different stages of tune, this wonderfully versatile motor was used to power Standard, Sport and Competizione models as well as a range of advanced scooters, commencing with the ground-braking Formicchino. Sadly, despite its technical innovation and engineering prowess, Rumi had gone by 1962. This rare Rumi Turismo dates from the first year of production and is the earliest Turismo known to the Rumi Owners' Club. This machine has the very early models' unique exhaust system, chromed fuel tank and no speedometer. Alterations began in October 1950, the most obvious being the switch to a painted tank. Restored between 2008 and 2014 to a high standard, the machine was offered for sale by an Austrian collector at Bonhams' Stafford auction in October 2015 (Lot 159) where it was purchased by the current vendor. Offered with a V5C, previous-owner correspondence and old Austrian registration papers, this exquisite little Turismo represents a wonderful opportunity for the discerning collector to acquire an early example of this iconic design.

H2E 25228•Iconic 1970s wild machine•Stunning restoration•Restoration costs in excess of £10,000Few would disagree that Kawasaki's 750cc two stroke triple was, by some distance, the wildest motorcycle of the early 1970s. Fifty years on, it is more desirable than ever, and this example is one of the very best.The vendor, a past BMCRC production class champion and ex Stan Stephens motorcycle mechanic, raced a KH400, and either owns, or has owned, examples of all the Kawasaki triples apart from the S2. He knows how to put a Kawasaki two stroke triple together.This H2A was purchased from Govnors Bridge Motorcycles in 2012, who had imported it from the USA earlier that year. It is a 1973 model which left the factory in July 1972, and was the subject of a no expense spared restoration carried out between 2012 & 2015. New original stock (NOS) parts were used whenever possible, new pattern parts being used only when NOS or high quality second-hand parts were not available. If there was the slightest doubt about any component it was replaced. The Kawasaki has been converted to UK specification by the fitting of UK NOS spark plug caps and the almost impossibly rare long rear UK mudguard complete with red reflector. The tank, side panels and tail section were painted with the correct H2A gold paint by Chris Daniels of the Motorcycle Restoration Company. The engine was completely stripped and checked, and a broken gear drum was replaced. The crankshaft was fully reconditioned and balanced by Chris Applebee Engineering. Barrels were rebored, and new Wiseco pistons and rings fitted. All engine covers were restored and polished by Aquablast UK. The forks were hard chromed and overhauled. The original wheels were rebuilt and re-spoked by Central Wheel Components. The instruments were restored by Peter Bond at London Instruments. A rare original and mint Riders Handbook is included, along with a toolkit and NOS toolbag. Also supplied are a V5C, separate keys for the ignition/steering lock & seat lock/tank cap, and the vendor's history file showing restoration expenditure of over £10,000. He tells us that some invoices are supplied, but much was bought online and internationally, and that some payments are recorded in the file without supporting invoices.The motorcycle was started in 2016 on premix and ridden a short distance. It will require re-commissioning before taking to the highway, with attention to the fuel and lubrication systems, timing, and carburettor settings. It will also need to be fully run in. The vendor is confident that the finish is now of higher quality than when the bike left the factory. It is offered for sale only because he requires capital for a new business venture. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding.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 biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

SPL 772RFrame no. 7F00102H7Engine no. 7F00102H7Harley-Davidson had been building the Sportster for years but by the mid-1970s it had become obvious that something better would be required to compete with the hottest new road bikes from Europe and Japan. Harley's riposte was the XLCR 'Café Racer', which combined the iron-barreled Sportster engine with a chassis incorporating an XR750-style box-section swingarm, cast alloy wheels and triple disc brakes. With its matt black-finished engine cases, matching exhaust system and sleek glassfibre bodywork, the XLCR looked lean and mean. Trouble was, The XLCR still couldn't cut it with the opposition and traditional Harley owners didn't know what to make of it. Sales were disappointing and the model was dropped after only two years in production. Sonly some 3,000-or-so were made and today the rare and stylish XLCR is highly prized by collectors. The Harley-Davidson XLCR offered here was used overseas before being imported and registered in the UK in September 1990. A new speedometer has been fitted and the machine benefits from the following upgrades: drilled brake discs all round; fork brace; Harrison Billet rear brake calliper; Harley-Davidson 40mm CV carburettor; electronic ignition; Progressive shock absorbers; HEL brake hoses; chromed rear brake reservoir; oil filter; and a K&N velocity stack air filter (within the existing housing). The battery and Avon Road Runner tyres are new. The private vendor describes the machine as in generally good condition, the engine said to be 'average' for the 18,449 miles recorded. The machine is offered with an owner's manual and a V5C document, while the original speedometer and a new '1000' air filter badge are included in the sale.

Property of a deceased's estate 1942 Harley-Davidson 750cc WLC ProjectEngine no. 42WLC279 (plus 2794 and BW106711 - see text)•Wartime Canadian-built military model•Purchased at a Ministry of Supply auction in 1947 and dismantled•Loosely assembled•Offered for restorationIntroduced in 1929 as a competitor to Indian's successful 750cc 'flat head' (sidevalve) v-twin, the Harley-Davidson Model D - better known as the '45' (its capacity in cubic inches) - really took off when the USA's entry into WW2 created an unprecedented demand for military motorcycles. Around 90,000 of the WL (military) version had rolled off the Milwaukee production lines before hostilities ceased, and the Harley '45' saw action in just about every theatre of war. De-mobbed Harleys helped meet the upsurge in demand for motorcycles in the immediate post-war years, doing much to establish the marque's reputation worldwide.This Canadian-built WLC Military Model served with the Canadian National Defence Force and was used on an air base in Oxfordshire, taking aircrew and engineers around the base, hence the very low recorded mileage of 486. On 18th July 1947 the Harley was purchased at an auction in Reading held by Simmons & Sons (who were acting for the Ministry of Supply) by RAF Flight Sergeant Martin Stevens, an aircraft mechanical engineer and motorcycle enthusiast. The purchase price was £57 10s. Flight Sergeant Stevens rode the machine straight back to his home in Buckinghamshire where he and his friend dismantled it so that they could re-spray it in non-military colours. However, they never got round to this and the bike remained in pieces in the barn (see photograph on file). Martin's family were aware of the Harley but it almost became mythical, with no one actually seeing it until after Martin's death almost 70 years later. The bike was left to his nephew, Raymond Biggs, who shared Martin's passion for motorcycles. Raymond had hoped to rebuild the bike himself but sadly it would be a project that was never completed. The machine is currently loosely bolted together and comes with its original rack, which in itself is an extremely rare item. Accompanying documentation includes the original bills of sale from Simmons & Sons Auctioneers and the Ministry of Supply, all dated 18th July 1947. Additionally, the bike comes with an original running and adjusting instruction manual.The vendor advises us that they have spoken to a well-known classic military vehicle enthusiast (who owns several of these machines) who confirms that it was normal practice to have an engine re-stamp. However, there is no documentary evidence to support this. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's authenticity, originality, completeness and condition prior to bidding (close inspection advised).Offered without 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 biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

From The Warr's Harley-Davidson Collection 1978 Harley-Davidson 998cc XLCR Café RacerRegistration no. TTO 515RFrame no. 7F16485H8Engine no. 16485•Rare two-year-only model•Presented in beautiful condition•Rare H-D accessory dual seat and passenger footrests'If black truly is beautiful, then the XLCR was sublime. So dark, it practically drank in the light, the Café Racer was another of Willie G Davidson's variations on an old theme, in this case reworking the basic 1,000cc Sportster which had first appeared in 1972. When it arrived for the 1977 model year, the XLCR looked revolutionary – the most unashamedly different Harley-Davidson yet.' – Mac McDiarmid, The Ultimate Harley-Davidson'. Harley-Davidson had been building the Sportster model for years but by the mid-1970s it had become obvious that something better would be required to compete with the hottest new road bikes from Europe and Japan. Styled by William G Davidson, the company's Design Director, Harley's riposte was the XLCR 'Café Racer', which combined the iron-barreled Sportster engine with a chassis incorporating an XR750-style box-section swinging arm, cast alloy wheels and triple disc brakes. With its matt black-finished engine cases, matching exhaust system and sleek glassfibre bodywork, the XLCR looked lean and mean. Trouble was, The XLCR still couldn't cut it with the opposition, and traditional Harley owners didn't know what to make of it. Sales were disappointing and the model was dropped after only two years in production. Back in '77, Bike magazine reckoned that the XLCR was essentially 'about style and image more than any other machine on the market' and there can be little doubt that turning up on one of these today would get you more attention than any modern sports bike. Only some 3,000-or-so were made and today the rare and stylish XLCR is highly prized by collectors. This superb example is to original and unmodified specification and has to be one of the very best currently available. Professionally maintained by Warr's Harley-Davidson, the machine has only covered an indicated 7,181 miles and was last run during the winter of 2021. Offered with a V5C document, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful example of Harley-Davidson's iconic XLCR Café Racer.

From The Warr's Harley-Davidson Collection 1970 Harley-Davidson 883cc XLH 'Boat Tail' SportsterRegistration no. VDH 128HFrame no. 3A10142H0Engine no. 3A10142H0•Rare optional 'boat tail' seat/fender•Highly original•Unusual colour scheme•Part of the Warr Collection since 2013'Insiders knew that another overhead-valve twin was in the works, and that the new cylinders would be bolted to the K model bottom end. Hopes were not exceptionally high. But the doubters were all but dumbstruck when the XL showed up lean, mean and ready for the green.' – Tod Rafferty, The Complete Harley-Davidson Encyclopedia.The evocatively titled Sportster has been a permanent feature of the Harley-Davidson line-up since its arrival for 1957. Intended to compete with the sportier British parallel twins, and those offered by home-based rivals Indian, the XL Sportster was leaner and meaner than previous Harleys and boasted an all-new overhead-valve v-twin engine producing 40bhp. This new power unit went into the chassis of the Model K. Introduced in 1952, the 45ci Model K was Harley's final 'flat-head'. Almost a complete break with the past, the K had adopted ideas from Europe: unitary construction of the engine/transmission, swinging-arm rear suspension, foot operated gear change, and hand clutch, but despite better handling than its similar-sized predecessor, proved little faster. The arrival of the 883cc overhead-valve engine would change all that. Progressively improved and updated, the ever-popular Sportster remains Harley's top-selling model today. Without question the 1970 Sportster's most talked about feature was the optional extended 'boat tail' combined seat and rear fender. Predictably, given the innate conservatism of Harley's target market, the 'boat tail' did not last long and was dropped at the end of 1971. Very rare and totally original, this 'boat tail' Sportster was owned by the US Harley-Davidson dealer O'Donahue for many years before joining the Warr collection in 2013, since when it has been kept in dry storage. Re-commissioning will be required before the machine returns to the road. Boasting an unusual and very attractive colour scheme and equipped with touring accessories, this beautiful 'boat tail' Sportster has a total of 9,572 miles on the odometer and is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.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 biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

From The Warr's Harley-Davidson Collection 1953 Harley-Davidson 750cc KKRegistration no. 684 YUKFrame no. to be advisedEngine no. 53KK2648Introduced in 1952, the 45ci (750cc) Model K was Harley's final 'flat head'. Almost a complete break with the past, the K adopted ideas from Europe: unitary construction of engine/transmission, swinging-arm rear suspension, foot operated gear change and hand clutch, but despite better handling than its similar-sized predecessor, proved little faster. Not so the racing KR that it inspired. Harley-Davidson had not won the prestigious Daytona Beach race since WW2, so the KR's winning debut there in 1953 was greeted with intense relief back in Milwaukee. Enlarged to 54ci (883cc) as the KH, the Model K street bike continued in the line-up until the end of 1956; the racer though, ran on successfully well into the 1960s; indeed, its final Daytona victory in 1969 was the KR's 12th at the Florida track. That year a KRTT achieved an astonishing 149mph during qualifying. An example of the ultra-rare KK variant, a hotted-up model produced for the 1953 season only, this actual machine featured as Tim Burton's ride in the motion picture I.Q. (1994) starring Meg Ryan. The Harley had already been restored when it was purchased in the USA circa 2012. Re-commissioning will be required before it returns to the road. Offered with a V5C document.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 biddingFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1913 Rex 896cc 6hp TwinRegistration no. BF 8242Frame no. 23081Engine no. 2867In 1913 Rex offered a range of motorcycles powered by singles and V twins of varying sizes. They made some of the engines themselves while others came from JAP. Acquired by the vendor in 2015 and recommissioned the following year, this example is in substantially unrestored condition and features Rex's own 896cc engine, and a two speed hub gear and clutch also built in house under ROC patents. The vendor replaced several missing components including the footboards. The magneto was rebuilt by The Magneto Guys, while the carburettor was refurbished by Joe the Carb. New HIGH & LOW gear pedals were cast in bronze by Dave Pittuck. Since then, the bike has been in regular use including at such events as Montlhery in 2017, and the 2019 Pioneer Run. In the vendor's own words: 'The engine has plenty of power, the front brake is hopeless, but the rear brake works OK, the ROC hub works fine as well.' He was told by the previous owner that it is believed to have spent much of its life in Italy. Richard Rosenthal tested a similar model for TCM in December 2009 and said that four words describe Rex's own V twin perfectly: 'Quiet, smooth, flexible, powerful.' It is supplied with a current V5C and Pioneer Certificate no. 2013 issued 3.12.14. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Sold strictly as viewed.A rare opportunity to acquire a fast and unrestored V twin veteran.Offered without keyFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
