The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection; Formerly the property of O B ('Bert') Greeves, MBE1963 Greeves 246cc 24DDS Sports Single PrototypeRegistration no. 901 JOOFrame no. 24DDS101Engine no. 085E WN6• The sole 24DDS prototype made• Kept by Bert Greeves until 1993• Known ownership history• Restored on the 2000s• Acquired by Tony East in 2007Greeves' unorthodox trademarks of a cast beam 'down-tube' and rubber-in-torsion leading-link fork proved adaptable to almost all forms of motorcycle from humble commuter to clubman's road-racer, but it was the firm's off-road products which really put it on the map, generating valuable publicity that helped sell the roadsters. Offered here is a Greeves Sports Single variant that never made it into production: the 24DDS. Intended as a 100mph 250cc roadster, and built in the competitions department, the 24DDS was powered by a Villiers 36A-based engine fitted with Greeves' own Challenger competition top-end, also used in its scrambles models and the Silverstone road-racer. The frame used the Silverstone main beam and the steering angle was improved by a straight top-tube, while competition-type strengthening gussets were fitted to the leading-link front suspension. Unfortunately, the model was judged too expensive to be a success, and production never got beyond this solitary prototype. First registered to Greeves' parent company Invacar Ltd on 5th April 1963, this prototype is the only example made and was later registered to 'O B Greeves MBE' (see the original old-style buff logbook and copy old V5 on file). It is believed that Bert's nephew had an accident on the machine which damaged the front wheel, and it was then repaired and laid up until Bert's death in 1993, aged 87. At this point the 24DDS was inherited by Greeves authority Andrew King, who kept the machine in storage until it was purchased in 2002 by Graham Mitchell. Graham restored the Greeves and then sold it on to the immediately preceding owner, David Pink.Tony East acquired the ex-Bert Greeves 24DDS at a UK auction in November 2007. In 2010 the machine was featured in an article in The Classic MotorCycle by Richard Rosenthal (January edition). A partial copy of the article is on file and this unique piece of Greeves' history also comes with a copy of the works record; five MoTs (most recent expired 2011); and old/current V5C Registration Certificates. A framed display board of the aforementioned logbook copies, ownership history and specifications is included in the sale.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 bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1968 Greeves 246cc 24DF Police MotorcycleRegistration no. VJJ 982G Frame no. 24DF119Engine no. 161FP1645• The last Greeves roadster built• One of four supplied to City of London Police• Pictured in Greeves The Complete Story by Colin SparrowGreeves' unorthodox trademarks of a cast beam 'down-tube' and rubber-in-torsion leading-link fork proved adaptable to almost all forms of motorcycle from humble commuter to clubman's road-racer, but it was the firm's off-road products which really put it on the map, generating valuable publicity that helped sell the roadsters. Less well known is the fact that Greeves supplied motorcycles for use by the police, the rare example offered here being one of a batch of four 'VJJ'-registered machines supplied to the City of London Police in October 1968. By this time Greeves had effectively abandoned the roadster market to concentrate on their competition models; indeed, in a detailed email on file dated August 2014, Colin Sparrow (author of Greeves The Complete Story) states that 'VJJ 982G' is the last Greeves roadster built. Villiers having by this time ceased to supply engines, Greeves had to purchase some new-old-stock 35A units from Sharpe Commercials, makers of the by-then-defunct Bond Minicar. As the police needed extra generating capacity to power their radios, these engines were fitted with Dynastart units. The quartet of 'VJJ' police motorcycles and their riders, with Tower Bridge in the background, is pictured in Colin's book (page 121). Its original green logbook records City of London Police as first owners of this motorcycle and the next keeper as Mr Paul Darrell, from December 1972. The next keeper listed is the well-known collector Mr Michael Jackson of Ware (change of ownership not dated). In January 1994 the machine was sold to Mr Roger Neal of Cambridgeshire. Presented in restored condition throughout, this historic Greeves police motorcycle is offered with the aforementioned email and further written correspondence; a quantity of Villiers Services invoices; and old-style V5/V5C registration documents.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 bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The quartet of 'VJJ' police motorcycles and their riders, with Tower Bridge in the background, is pictured in Colin Sparrow's book Greeves The Complete Story (page 121). The photocopy of a buff logbook on file gives the date of this Greeves' first registration as 7th October 1968 to the City of London Police; by 1972 it had passed into private ownership (there is also a photocopy of an MoT certificate from 1974). Also on file is a letter dated 2006 and addressed to Roger Neal (the owner before Tony East) from John Card, authentication officer at the Greeves Riders Association, which goes into some detail regarding what the dispatch records state.In the course of the restoration Tony was able to purchase from a Mr Bill Drummond original police parts taken from his original police Greeves, including the radio, klaxon horn, fire extinguisher, and pannier carriers. The history file also contains other emails and correspondence; various notes concerning the machine's authentication; a quantity of invoices; and a copy of BMS service notes; and a period policeman's uniform. It should be noted that the registration 'VJJ 980G' appears to have lapsed from the DVLA/HPI database.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 bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1963 Greeves 325cc 32DC Sports TwinRegistration no. AJU 663AFrame no. 32DC140Engine no. 222D 1441 (see text)Greeves' unorthodox trademarks of a cast beam 'downtube' and rubber-in-torsion leading-link fork proved adaptable to almost all forms of motorcycle from humble commuter to clubman's road-racer, but it was the firm's off-road products which really put it on the map, generating valuable publicity that helped sell the roadsters. Greeves first twin-cylinder models of the mid-1950s used the Anzani engine and it was not until 1957 that the first Villiers-engined twin - the 250cc 25D Fleetwing - appeared. The roadster twins were updated with a new scrambler-based frame for 1961 and the following year were comprehensively restyled in the fashion of the day.The all-new 32DC Sports Twin was one of four roadsters in Greeves line-up for 1961. It was powered by the four-speed 325cc 3T engine, which Villiers had first introduced back in 1957. The 3T was basically a bored-out 250cc 2T and at 16.5bhp was only marginally more powerful but developed considerably more torque. Acquired by Tony East in July 2004, this fully restored Sports Twin received a 'Highly Commended' award at The Classic MotorCycle Mechanics Show at Stafford in 2018 (rosette available). The machine is offered with an old-style V5C Registration Certificate and a Mail Order Catalogue produced by the revived Greeves Motorcycle Company of Chelmsford. It should be noted that the V5C records the engine number as '222D1126'.
