A bronze sculpture by Jean & Marianne Bremers from the Netherlands The roller skaters: A later 20th century bronze by this well known husband and wife team, who are more well known for their much larger sculptures. This piece measures 20.5 cm high, and is a limited edition number 50 out of 50 pieces. It is taken from a much larger version that they produced first (see old photograph included with this sale). Very little of their work comes on to the market, especially not in the UK, as most of it appears to be large one off consignments for public display in the Netherlands. Complete with original signed photographic certificate of authenticity, indicating production date of 1985.

Auf der Bildseite zusätzlich zu den roten Drucksignaturen von allen "Stones" mit verschiedenen Stiften handsigniert. - Die Signaturen von Tayler, Jagger und Watts stärker ausgebleicht. - Dazu: 2 verschiedene Exemplare der LP "Sticky Fingers", deutsche Ausgabe, Köln, EMI 1971. - Mit dem berühmten Cover von Andy Warhol und: seltene, da zensierte spanische Fassung, Madrid (1971). - Rote Pressung mit einer geöffneten Konservendose aus der drei Finger ragen auf dem Cover. - Cover mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren, die Schallplatten in gutem Zustand. - Die legendäre LP enthält auch "Wilde horses" mit der virtuosen Lead-Gitarre von M. Tayler, der auch zu einigen anderen Songs während seiner Zeit als Bandmitglied (1969-1974) wichtige Beiträge leistete. - " Etwa 1970 begannen Jagger und Taylor damit, intensiver zusammenzuarbeiten, weil Richards wegen seiner zunehmenden Drogenabhängigkeit immer seltener zu Studioterminen erschien. Ohne Richards nahmen Taylor und Jagger Songs wie Sway, Moonlight Mile, Winter, Till the Next Goodbye und Time Waits for No One auf, ohne dass Taylor je eine Bestätigung in Form von Tantiemen für seine Beteiligung an der Entstehung dieser Titel erhielt. Einzige Ausnahme bildete der Song Ventilator Blues aus dem Album Exile on Main Street (1972). Im Dezember 1974 verkündete Taylor, dass er die Rolling Stones verlassen wolle. Ursache für diesen Entschluss war unter anderem Taylors zunehmende Frustration über die Art und Weise, in der Jagger und Richards seine künstlerischen Beiträge übergingen" (Wikipedia). - "Taylor ist der beste Techniker, der je bei den Stones gespielt hat. Ein Bluesgitarrist mit einem Gespür eines Jazzmusikers für melodische Erfindungen, Taylor war nie ein Rock 'n Roller und nie ein Showman" (Robert Palmer in The New York Times).

c.1946 AJS 497cc E90 'Porcupine' Grand Prix Racing MotorcycleFrame no. none visibleEngine no. 3-46•Ultra-rare 1940s Grand Prix racer•Acquired from former AJS works rider Ted Frend•On static display since restoration in the mid/late 2000sWhile statistics show that the Norton is Britain's most successful post-war Grand Prix racing motorcycle, that country's first success in the modern era's World Championships was achieved by another marque with an equally illustrious racing history: AJS. And the machine that carried Les Graham to his, and AJS's, first and only World Championship in 1949 was, of course, the legendary Porcupine. To this day the Porcupine remains the only twin-cylinder motorcycle to have won the 500cc World Championship. Conceived towards the end of WW2, the Porcupine was originally designed with forced induction in mind. Supercharged multi-cylinder engines had begun to threaten the single's supremacy towards the end of the 1930s and indeed, AJS themselves went down this road with their fearsome water-cooled V4. Fast yet difficult to handle, the latter had demonstrated that horsepower bought at the expense of excess bulk and weight was not the answer, so the thoughts of designer Vic Webb turned to a twin. Laying the cylinders almost horizontally with their 'heads facing forwards would ensure adequate cooling and a low centre of gravity, while at the same time providing room for the blower above the gearbox. When the FIM banned supercharging at the end of 1946 the design was too far advanced to be altered substantially, though the cylinder heads were revised to raise the compression ratio. Typed E90 but dubbed 'Porcupine' by the motorcycling press because of its distinctive spiked 'head finning, AJS's new challenger debuted at the 1947 Isle of Man TT in the hands of Les Graham and Jock West, the pair finishing 9th and 14th respectively after encountering a variety of problems. By way of consolation, West's best lap was only three seconds down on the fastest and showed that the bike had promise. The Porcupine's first race victory was achieved later that year by Ted Frend at the Hutchinson 100. Development continued throughout 1948, with a number of Grand Prix podium finishes and 18 world speed records among the season's highlights. The inaugural 500cc World Championship of 1949 consisted of six races, with victory going to Les Graham at the Swiss and Ulster Grands Prix. Bill Doran won the Belgian GP to assure AJS of the manufacturers' title, while Graham's two wins were enough to take the riders' championship from Gilera's Nello Pagani.Many years later, AJS works rider Ted Frend - the first rider to win on the bike - recalled that carburetion had been the Porcupine's biggest problem, perhaps not surprising given that it had been designed for a supercharger, and over the years a bewildering number of different induction arrangements were tried. The E90 was also bedevilled by magneto shaft failure - the cause of Graham's retirement from the lead of the '49 Senior TT just when two minutes from the finish - a problem that would not be solved until chain drive for the magneto was adopted on the revised E95 engine.Introduced in 1952, the E95 engine had its cylinders tilted upwards at 45 degrees, an arrangement that called for a new frame, and featured a pressed-up crankshaft with one-piece connecting rods and roller big-ends in place of the E90's one-piece 'shaft and shell-type bearings. Its distinctive spike fins had gone, but the 'Porcupine name stuck. The E95 enjoyed a dream debut, new recruit Jack Brett and Bill Doran finishing 1st and 2nd respectively at the season-opening Swiss Grand Prix, with New Zealand star Rod Coleman in 5th place. Another new addition to the AJS team for '52, Coleman had first been given an E90 to try at the '51 Ulster GP and followed that up with a strong showing at the Grand Prix Des Nations at Monza. 'In the race it was quite definitely faster than the Nortons and I had little problem getting past Geoff (Duke) and Ken (Kavanagh) with just three Gileras only a short distance ahead,' Rod recalls in his book, The Colemans. 'I did get with them and found again that the Porcupine was just as fast as the Gileras but was down a little on acceleration from the slower corners, but not by much. I was just beginning to think I had every chance of second place behind Milani when the motor stopped.' The cause? Yet another magneto shaft failure. For 1954 the E95 Porcupine and works 'triple-knocker' 7R3 350 single gained new pannier-style fuel tanks which extended down on either side of the engine, thus lowering the centre of gravity and affording a measure of streamlining at the same time. The downside was the need for a pump to raise fuel to the carburettors, and a complicated delivery system that involved mechanics standing the bike on its rear wheel to prime the header tank for starting! Jack Williams took over the race team that year and the result of his development was a much smoother engine, which now produced a maximum of 54bhp at 7,800rpm. Bob McIntyre, Derek Farrant and Rod Coleman were the riders, the latter providing the Porcupine with its best international results of the season, placing 2nd in Ulster and winning the Swedish Grand Prix. Other riders to swing a leg over the Porcupine during its short career include Bill Lomas, Robin Sherry and Reg Armstrong.Sadly, 1954 would prove to be the Porcupine's swansong year, AJS withdrawing from direct involvement in Grand Prix racing at the season's end. Between 1949 and 1954, Porcupines finished 24 races with five wins, seven 2nd places and one World Championship. In total, only four complete E90 and four E95 machines were built, plus an unknown number of spare engines. With the exception of the E95 acquired later by Tom Arter, they were raced only by the works team and never offered for public sale. Perhaps surprisingly, all four E95s survive today in private ownership. When Ted Frend died in 2006, his close friend and neighbour Ken Senior bought all of Ted's motorcycling-related possessions from the executors of his estate, which included loose photographs, negatives, albums, books, letters, trophies, tools, motorcycle parts, etc. (Some of Ted's TT trophies and photographs are offered in this sale - see Lots 512 - 522). The purchase also included Ted's road going Triumph and the Porcupine, which came to Ken as a collection of parts. It is not known whether Ted obtained a complete machine from AJS and then dismantled it, or whether he acquired it in component form. Born in 1916 in South London, Edward 'Ted' Frend completed an apprenticeship in sheet-metal fabrication at Hawker Aircraft (later Hawker Siddeley) and then joined General Aircraft at Feltham. He was soon taking part in motorcycle competitions and made his first impact on the sport following the purchase of a Vincent-HRD Rapide Series-A, on which he lapped the Brooklands track at 110mph, earning himself a coveted 'Gold Star' for exceeding 'the ton'. Riding a Norton, Ted finished 4th in the 1947 Isle of Man TT, a result that earned him a place in the AJS works team, riding the E90 Porcupine in 500cc events and the new 350cc AJS 7R in the Junior class. Like many of his contemporaries, Ted was an all-rounder, competing in trials, scrambles, grass-track and hill climbs as well as road racing. On his works debut in 1948, Ted gave the E90 Porcupine its first win: at the BMCRC 100-mile race at Dunholme Lodge, a former RAF airbase in Lincolnshire. Interviewed by Bob Shilling for the now defunct, and much missed, Classic Motorcycling Legends magazine (No. 37) Ted recalled: 'Les Graham and I had a terrific scrap but Les' magneto packed up so I cruised home the winner. I rode for AJS from then until the end of 1950. My racing was a sideline to my business...' Ted's business w... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1958 Zündapp Bella 200Registration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. 122746Engine no. 42734After WW2 the mainstay of Zündapp production was two-stroke lightweights, and like just about every other European motorcycle manufacturer the German firm had to have a scooter in the range. Introduced at the Frankfurt Show in 1953 and based on the Italian Parilla, this was the Bella, which would go on to become the most popular two-wheeler Zündapp ever produced. Sold as 'Der Roller für den Motorradfahrer' ('the scooter for the motorcyclist'), the Bella was constantly developed and fitted with increasingly larger engines and remained in production until 1962. Offered for restoration, this Bella was sold new via Speedway Cars (Acton) Ltd of London W3 and comes with its original logbook listing only one owner. It should be noted that its original registration '704 RMG' has since been assigned to another vehicle and is no longer associated with this machine.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1957 Vincent 48cc Firefly Cyclemotor and Sun Bicycle (see text)Registration no. not registeredFrame no. 317Engine no. 1555 T05AB-153059Seeking new products to ease its parlous financial situation, Vincent took over the production of electrical component manufacturer Miller's new cyclemotor in 1953. Known as the Firefly, this 48cc two-stroke unit was designed to fit beneath a bicycle's bottom bracket and drove the rear wheel via a roller. The latter was larger in diameter than many similar devices and was claimed to offered improved traction and reduced tyre wear. Vincent soon offered a complete machine, which featured a lady's-type open frame manufactured for them by Sun. The Firefly outlasted its more famous v-twin brethren, remaining in production until 1958. Apparently fitted to a Sun frame, this Firefly must represent by far the cheapest route to Vincent ownership.

1922 Labinal Micromoteur and Griffon Gentleman's BicycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. to be advisedEngine no. 4375AAn auxiliary 'clip-on' engine designed for attachment to a bicycle, the Labinal Micromoteur was manufactured in France during the 1920s and may be thought of as the ancestor of the post-war VéloSoleX. Produced with capacities up to 50cc, the Labinal engine was mounted in front of the bicycle's steering head and drove the front wheel via a roller. The example offered here is attached to a Griffon gentleman's bicycle believed to date from circa 1919. The machine was purchased from France by the present owner approximately 10 years ago and has been restored throughout. It was test-ridden post-restoration around 8-9 years ago but has not been used since. Noteworthy features include a Salmson magneto; Cozette carburettor; and an out-of-period Sturmey Archer three-speed coaster hub. There are no documents with this Lot.

1965 Velocette 499cc ThruxtonRegistration no. KGC 722DFrame no. RS18811Engine no. VMT353•Two owners from new•Present ownership since 2000•Fully restored in 2004/2005•Numerous upgrades•Concours conditionThis superb Thruxton had had only one owner prior to its purchase by the vendor in May 2000. The first owner kept numerous receipts for items purchased over the years from various Velocette agents dating back to 1973. There are receipts from 1982/1983 relating to a refurbishment that he undertook himself: paintwork and various engine parts, kick-start rubber, head gasket, valve cotters, etc. When acquired in 2000, the following upgrades had already been done: taper-roller steering head bearings; bonded clutch plates; reversed gear lever and cam plate (originals included in sale); roller-type clutch thrust bearing; multi-link gear change internals (smoother gear changes); and a 12-volt conversion.In 2004/2005 the vendor undertook a 'last-nut-and-bolt' restoration using only the best recognised specialists and suppliers. Works carried out and parts renewed include stainless fasteners throughout; wheels rebuilt with stainless spokes; hubs powder coated; engine stripped, checked and rebuilt with new gaskets; cylinder head overhauled by The Cylinder Head Shop; Saftek bonded clutch plates fitted; stainless swept-back exhaust pipe; show-standard paintwork by Faircharm Restoration; all new cables; new chains; and all chromework re-plated by Marque Restore in Coventry, arguably the best in the business (full details available). The magneto was completely overhauled around five years ago. The lower fairing comes with the machine, but when the vendor replaced the upper fairing, he did not drill it, preferring the half-faired look.'KGC 722D' is authenticated and registered on the Velocette Thruxton Register run by Ray Thurston for the Velocette Owners Club, of which the vendor is a member. The owner has mainly used the bike for a few rallies and the Bob Foster run in 2011 where it was awarded the 'Bob Shield' for best Velocette. The previous owner's last MoT shows just over 24,000 miles in 1986, while the current total is just shy of 27,000 miles. The machine has not been run for approximately five-or-so years but is dry stored and regularly turned over using a rolling road; nevertheless, it will need to be fully re-commissioned before further use. Presented in concours condition, this has to be one of the best Thruxtons currently available. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1981 Suzuki GSX250Registration no. not registeredFrame no. GS25X-510152Engine no. GS25X-127360Suzuki updated its four-stroke range to four-valves-per-cylinder 'GSX' specification in 1980. To boost mid-range torque, a presumed deficiency of four-valve designs, Suzuki came up with a novel 'Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber' (TSCC) which featured small valves, a central ridge and squish bands front and rear. The method of valve actuation and adjustment changed too, the GSX range adopting forked rockers and screw adjusters instead of the GS's inverted bucket tappets. Moving further away from its two-stoke origins, Suzuki abandoned the preceding GS models' built-up roller-bearing crankshaft in favour of a more conventional forged item with plain bearings. The GSX's cycle parts were state-of-the-art, if conventional, comprising a tubular steel frame, telescopic forks, twin-shock rear suspension, alloy wheels and triple-disc braking on the larger models. There are no documents with this GSX250, which displays a believed-genuine total of only 389.5 miles on the odometer (see file).Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
