Lot 112
At its 1948 launch the Jaguar XK120 instantly became one of the most admired sports cars of its era. Well known for a chassis capable of great handling, a powerful 3.4 litre straight six engine and record-breaking top speed, evidenced first he factory test driver Ron Sutton having famously driven the XK120 at 130 mph, beyond the 120mph which gave rise to the cars model name, and later by the recently deceased and much missed Norman Dewis setting outright class speed records on the Belgian motorways when, on 20 October 1953 at Jabbeke, he drove a Jaguar XK120 to 172.412 mph.Staying in production for almost 6 years, before being replaced by the XK 140, the 120 led to the C-Type and the victories at Le Mans, Reims etc and is rightly seen as the bed-rock of Jaguar's sporting success. Only some 12,055 examples were produced, the majority being exported as with this left hand drive example which was re-imported from the United States, it having been in the ownership of a single family there for over 50 years, and is being offered fro sale by its sole contemporary UK custodian.The car is presents wonderfully in its original colours of black bodywork with biscuit/red leather trim. It is still fitted with its original engine and is reported to drive exactly as one of these classics Jaguars should. There is an abundance of power, crisp handling and brakes which, if treated with due respect, are more than up to the challenges of modern traffic. This elegant car comes complete with its Jaguar Heritage Certificate in its comprehensive history file and shows chassis number 673312, which confirms this as an export model Open Two Seat car. The XK 120, having been extensively campaigned in period (even Tazio Nuvolari drove a 120 at Silverstone at Sir William Lyon's personal invitation) is eligible for a wealth of historic events such as the Mille Miglia, Classic Le Mans, The Tour Auto, Goodwood Revival Meeting as well as the superb XK Club events and Jaguar enthusiast and Driver's Clubs. The next custodian of this superb machine will, doubtless, find plenty to occupy themselves with as they enjoy their motor car to the full.

1993 Honda GB 500 TT, 498 cc. Registration number K833 VKR. Frame number JH2PC1602KK001779. Engine PC16E2002127. As the World's most prolific motorcycle manufacturer there is barley such a thing as a rare Honda; however the GB500 TT just might be it. Introduced in 1980's it was first produced as 400 and then a 500cc based on the single cylinder XL off road bike engine. The TT stood as homage to the 'Tourist Trophy' races on the Isle of Man, which was ironic as the bike was only available as a grey import in the UK. In the increasingly important North American off-road market, where the single reigned supreme, Honda and its Japanese rivals began to manufacture them in capacities of 500cc and upwards, a state of affairs that led to the development of a succession of purely road-going derivatives. One of the most interesting of these was the XBR500 of 1985, the styling of which was unashamedly 'retro'. Honda took this concept a stage further almost immediately, launching the GB500 TT the following year. A factory 'café racer', the GB500 looked very British, boasting coachlined paintwork, clip-on handlebars, rear-seat footrests, chromed headlamp shell, matching speedometer and rev counter, and alloy-rimmed, wire wheels instead of the XBR's Comstars. The dry-sump, radial four-valve motor featured electric starting and delivered its 42bhp via a six-speed gearbox, while the entire ensemble weighed in at a little under 340lbs. 'It blends a touch of the past with the best of today's technology,' declared Honda of a model that struck a chord with mature riders who hankered after the past but disliked the associated oil leaks, dodgy electrics and general unreliability. VKR was imported into the UK in June 2003 and bought by John on the 25th September that year, transferring ownership to his wife in February 2004; it became her favourite ride and won a Class Winner rosette at the 2011 MGP Party on the Prom. A gentle recommissioning should have this bike on the road very quickly. Sold with the V5C, MOT's from 2006 when the mileage was 27,388 until 2017 when it had risen to 35,168 miles, the rosette, a dual seat, a rear seat hard cover and a maintenance manual.
Lot 1038
1961 Velocette Venom Clubman, 499 cc. Registration number 358 BLT. Frame number RS 16672. Engine number VM 5189 (see text). Introduced in 1956, the Venom sports roadster was derived from the touring MSS. The latter had disappeared from the range in 1948, reappearing in 1954 with a new swinging-arm frame and telescopic fork. The engine too was up-dated, changing to 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 86x86mm and gaining an alloy cylinder barrel and 'head. Engine development pursued as part of the scrambles programme bore fruit in 1956 in the shape of the high-performance Venom and its 350cc sibling, the Viper. The MSS frame and forks were retained for the newcomers but full-width alloy hubs were adopted to boost braking power, and smart chromed mudguards fitted to enhance the models' sporting image. In 1960 'Clubman' versions of both were introduced, minus the enclosure panels of the standard models, which featured a raised compression ratio, Amal TT carburettor, 'racing' magneto, rear-seat footrests and a close-ratio gearbox among many other improvements. When supplied with the optional dolphin fairing, the model was known as the Clubman Veeline. Produced until the end of Velocette production in 1971, the Venom in its various guises represents the final glorious flowering of the traditional British sports single, and today these supremely well-engineered thoroughbreds are highly sought after. A total of 5,721 machines were produced between 1955 and 1970. In 1961 factory-prepared faired Velocette Venom and a team of riders set the 24-hour world record at a speed of 100.05 mph at Montlhéry, in France. It was the first motorcycle of any size to achieve an average speed of over 100 mph for 24 hours. This original example was John's favourite machine and received much attention and upgrading over the years of his ownership. Grove Classics state that it left the Veloce factory on the 17th March 1961 with engine 5689 and went to dealers Claude Rye on the Fulham Road in London; they sold it to Terrence Savage of Leyton on the 25th of March. He sold it to Ronald Gledhill of Enfield on the 29th July 1963; Roger Barrett of Waltham Cross then owned it on the 6th April 1965, followed by Andrew Holmes, John Murfin and George Taylor of Castleford in May 1976. By February 2006 John's wife had bought it, transferring ownership to him in June 2010. John set about a series of improvements, including an engine rebuild, belt clutch and electric start via a BTH mag. He rode it to France in 2010 and 2012. This very well sorted original Clubman will need light recommissioning before offering the next custodian a wonderful machine. Please note the V5C and R.F. 60 state the engine number to be 5689. Sold with the V5C, R.F. 60, MOT's from 2010 at 66 miles, today it is at 27,954, testimony to a well sorted and useable machine, a letter from Grove Classic confirming its originality, various receipts and manuals.
Lot 1049
1964 Royal Enfield Interceptor, 736 cc. Registration number BKX 331B. Frame number 11364. Engine number 15818. In 1960, Royal Enfield introduced the first motorcycle bearing the name Interceptor; it was a modified version of the company's 692 cc Constellation model. It had a tuned version of the company's biggest engine, the 692 cc vertical-twin and was only sold in the US and Canada. All engines had the engine prefix letters "VAX" and so these are often referred as "VAX Interceptors". A total of 158 692 cc Interceptors were made as per the Redditch factory despatch ledgers. In 1962 they introduced the all-new 736 cc twin cylinder engine, bore and stroke was 71 mm × 93 mm. The new engine was similar to the 692 cc engine; but there was hardly any part that was not modified or improved. The engine cases were beefed up to withstand the increased torque. What sets this engine apart from other contemporary British twins is that the crankshaft was dynamically balanced from the factory which made these bikes one of the smoothest British twin engines ever. The Series 1 bikes had an automatic advance magneto, coil ignition and a new seat. There was a rare single carburettor model as well. It was manufactured until 1966. BKX was first registered to Glyn Bailey of Yeovil on the 1st June 1964 and purchased by our vendor (along with the 1960 Bullet 439 KKP) on the 24th April 1984 from Dudley Martin of Yeovil, its second owner, he rode it for a year before cars came into the family and it was stored with a mileage of 21,618 in 1985. Due to works in the garden the bikes have been uncovered and are now offered for sale as restoration projects. Undoubtedly all original, BKX is offered with the V5 (it is recorded with DVLA), a 1981 and 1984 MOT together with the purchase receipt from 1984.
Lot 1068
1988 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1000 SE, 949 cc. Registration numberE227 KHK. Frame number VV14040. Engine number 014405. The Le Mans was already venerable in 1986, having been introduced in 1976, and the 1000 SE was essentially a Mk. IV design with a few DeTomaso-era details. Based on the square-head Le Mans III, the 948cc longitudinal twin pushes 81 hp at a modest 7,400 rpm. The crankshaft sits low in the traditional downtube frame, the long chassis providing a stable platform, made a little snappier by the 16-inch front wheel. The 1000 SE was introduced in 1986 and made for two years, it was a limited production model made to mark the twentieth anniversary of the introduction of the Moto Guzzi V7 back in 1967. These bikes were all finished in red and white with a red seat, red cast wheels and most had black rocker covers, engine and lower rails. A few had black engines and transmissions. Only about 100 of these bikes were sold and mainly in the United States. This example was imported from Italy by Robert Hasson of Saffron Waldron in February 2012 and sold a month later to Peter Owen, again of Saffron Waldron. It came north to David Elvidge of Beverley in September 2015 who quickly moved it on to Chris Ison of Dinas Powys and later Darrel Stephens of Chepstow who sold it to our vendor in July 2016. Over this period of time the mileage, in kilometres has risen from 67,886 to 67,918 in 2015. HPI clean this rare Le Mans deserves a recommission and use on the road. Sold with the V5C, MOT from 2012 and 2015.
