Lot 2040
The Plover was the smallest production Francis-Barnett catalogued for the 1956 season utilising the 147cc Villiers 30C engine housed in a frame featuring a tubular steel front section combined with a pressed steel rear. The following year saw the model designation change to 78 from 73 with the Plover gaining a dual seat and revised exhaust system, continuing in this form for the next two years when the engine changed to an AMC unit. This older restoration is described as being in good condition throughout and prior to its acquisition in 2012 by the vendor had remained in the same family ownership from new with the father passing the machine onto the son. It is offered with a Swansea V5C together with an original owner's manual and parts list.
Lot 2058
Suzuki presented the GS750 double overhead camshaft four cylinder at the end of 1976, breaking with a tradition of two stroke manufacture due to increasingly stringent emission controls coming into effect around the world. From the first press reports it became apparent that Suzuki had taken the opportunity to analyse their competitors machinery and in so doing develop a machine that, although not technically innovative in any respect, was arguably the best example of its type produced up to the time of its introduction and a machine that moved the "goalposts" for its rivals. The early example offered dates from the first full year of production and as such is equipped with the single front disc brake. It has formed part of a private collection until recently and is described by the vendor as being in very good, original, unrestored condition throughout. It has recently been fitted with a new seat and is offered with a Swansea V5C.
Lot 2064
The little 49cc over head valve single cylinder engine and gearbox unit that was introduced with the C100 Cub in 1958 provided the power unit for a variety of ultra-lightweight machines produced by Honda, the most distinctive of which was and remains the "Monkey Bike. The concept of the "mini motorcycle" was not a new one, with machines such as the Corgi in the UK and the Mustang in the States achieving varying degrees of popularity. With the introduction of the Monkey Bike, Honda did with the mini bike concept what they were to do so well in other areas of motorcycle design, they took an idea and refined it to the point where it became accessible to non-motorcyclists. The C100 power unit was both refined and reliable requiring little in the way of maintenance and was housed in a simple rigid frame with unsprung forks riding on five inch diameter wheels. A thickly padded single seat provided adequate comfort for the short trips the machine was intended to undertake and a simple electrical system was fitted, whilst the provision of folding handlebars meant that the little machine could be tucked away when not in use. Supported by an extensive dealer network the little machine quickly gained a healthy following being used as a tender to caravans and yachts, a leisure vehicle in its own right, usable by children aged 4 or 5 to 80 and as a paddock bike, quickly becoming as much a part of the motorsport landscape as Bell Helmets, Castrol R and Heuer watches. The example offered was acquired by a Nottingham fairground owner for use on a carousel and purchased by the vendor a few years ago when the fairground closed and the CZ100 was unbolted. The motorcycle was restored by Unit 1 Motorcycles during 2014, at which time the frame was powder coated. It was run following the restoration but the vendor notes that the electrics have not been checked since and that the brake pedal is missing. It is presented in good cosmetic condition and offered with an old green log book.
Lot 2078
Introduced at the end of 1980 the CB1100R benefitted from Honda's experience with their endurance and Formula 1 racers. The engine, although clearly derived from the twin cam CB900, differed greatly in detail. There were five plain main bearings complimented by plain big ends and the gudgeon pins connecting the semi-forged pistons to the conrods were 17mm in diameter. The cam chain was larger than the CB900 at 1.25 inches and the gearbox was refined to improve performance and heavier clutch springs were employed. An oil cooler was fitted as standard and a compact generator was employed. In stock form the engine delivered 120 bhp at 9,000 rpm and delivered a top speed of 148.21 mph when tested in 1982. Honda announced that the new machine would be limited to 1100 units in its first year, sufficient to allow homologation for production racing. The cycle parts reflected the CB1100R's intended use with a single seat, half fairing, adjustable clip-ons and a high flow fuel tap all being fitted. Suspension was provided by a set 37mm forks with air adjustable spring preload, increasing to 39mm with TRAC anti dive for the following season. Although monoshock rear suspension was becoming common on road and race machinery the CB1100R retained a traditional twin shock absorber system, Honda engineers considering it to be more durable and rigid than contemporary monoshock designs, although for the last year of production a box section swinging arm replaced the earlier, tubular assembly. In total 4050 CB1100R's are believed to have been built over its three production life. This machine dates from 1982 and is described as being in very good condition in all respects having had only one owner from new, a Honda dealer in Switzerland. It has recorded only 26,000 Kilometres and has been maintained to a high standard throughout. Offered with Swiss documents and the original instruction book.
Lot 2079
The Domiracer project arose from Norton's desire to find a replacement for the Manx singles. A Dominator 88 had competed with some success in the 1960 Thruxton 500, winning its class which resulted in the factory building a machine using a tuned 88 Dominator engine driving a Manx gearbox. Manx forks graced the "featherbed" frame and Manx hubs were employed. The complete machine is believed to have weighed 35lbs less than a late Manx and set the first 100 mph plus lap of the Island for a pushrod 500cc twin in the hands of Tom Phillis. Development continued into 1962 when Norton abandoned the project. Although no "production" machines were built by Norton, a number of Domiracers were built privately inspired by the works efforts. The 1956 Dominator 88 has been built up to resemble a Domiracer using the standard engine, frame, swinging arm, forks, and rear hub. An Oldani front brake is fitted with both wheels using Akront alloy rims. To complete the conversion from humble road going twin to racer Manx type yokes, oil tank, primary chainguard, front number plate, fuel tank, seat, gear and brake levers are fitted. The machines cycle parts and cosmetics are described as being good, but the machine has not been run in recent years and consequently its mechanical condition is unknown.
Lot 2080
At the time of its introduction in 1967 the Suzuki T500 created a sensation. With a claimed power output of 46 bhp from the piston ported twin, the new machine proved to be capable of matching the best 650 four strokes in performance. Braking was of an exceptional standard and the electrical system, which included indicators, and finish were of the highest standard. The models fine attributes provided the basis for a competition version that was campaigned by the factory with considerable success, particularly in AMA events which required production homologation and resulted in private individuals converting road versions as offered here. The machine offered is fitted with Ceriani forks and front wheel. The engine is reportedly to standard specification although expansion chambers are fitted and the machine is fitted with a full fairing, competition fuel tank, racing single seat and clip-ons.
Lot 2081
PLEASE NOTE: This motorcycle is unregistered not as noted in the catalogue. The final version of the KTT (Kamshaft Tourist Trophy) which had first entered the Velocette catalogue in 1928, the MK VIII, was introduced for the 1939 season, and would, with a break for the Second World War, remain in production until 1950. The new version built on the success of the Mk VII but introduced a completely revised frame. The girder fork front suspension remained but was complimented by a pivoted fork rear suspension controlled by hydraulically damped and air sprung units. Mechanically the overhead cam engine benefitted from a well finned alloy cylinder and head with enclosed valve gear. Hairpin springs were employed to close the valves. A four speed close ratio gearbox was fitted in the frames full cradle. The high tensile steel wheel rims were laced to conical alloy hubs equipped with 7 inch brakes. Equipment included a tachometer driven from the magneto sprocket and a sprung saddle together with a rear pad and tank top pad enabling the rider to adopt a suitable crouch. The post war example offered dates from 1948 and has formed part of a private collection for a number of years. It is fitted with a number of non-standard items including an Alfin cylinder. The rear subframe is not original, nor are the rear shock absorbers, rear wheel, rear brake pedal and seat pad. The front mudguard stays, handlebars and levers have also been changed. Described as being in cosmetically good condition the machines mechanical condition is not known.
Lot 2086
Introduced in 1972, the Ducati 750 Sport is today one of the most sought after classic Ducati's. Developed from the 750 GT, the Sport was an altogether more focused machine offering a claimed 60bhp compared to the GT's 55bhp, the increase in power output resulting from an increase in compression ratio and the replacement of the 30mm carburettors of the GT with Dell'Orto PHF32mm units, together with a lighter crankshaft and pistons. The increase in power was complimented by a reduction in weight, due largely to the use of fibreglass for the mudguards, seat and petrol tank, although from 1974 the latter tended to be replaced by a steel item. The first machines employed the 750GT frame but this was quickly replaced by a dedicated chassis with a slimmer rear subframe. Early model employed leading axle Marzocchi forks, followed by Ceriani centre axle units and ultimately a return to Marzocchi components, now with a centre axle. The brakes also underwent changes with Lockheed, Brembo and Scarab components gracing the front end at different times during the models production life. Finished in yellow with black trim and initially black engine cases, these giving way to polished items during 1974, the 750 Sport is arguably one of the most handsome motorcycles ever produced. The late example offered was fitted with 750SS Desmodromic cylinder heads during the 1980s by NCR for its then German owner. Described as being in good condition both mechanically and cosmetically it has resided in Japan in recent years. It offers a rare opportunity to acquire a machine that, to quote Motorcyclist Illustrated 1974 road test, "stands level with the very best that history can offer to match it, and as a sporting machine probably better than almost any other big roadster in production".
Lot 2088
Following Paul Smart's success at the 1972 Imola 200 Formula 750 race aboard one of a brace of specially prepared desmodromic vee twin's promises of a replica were fulfilled in 1974 when a single batch of round case 750cc Super Sports were built as homologation specials. The new machines, running on 40 mm Dell'Ortos and equipped with Conti silencers (!) exuded an air of purpose. Barley legal for the road they remain the most sought after of all the exotic racing derived Ducati machines. Fortunately for enthusiasts everywhere, in 1975 Ducati introduced the 900Ss, a machine that shared the same dna as its predecessor whilst being built in greater numbers. The new model adopted the square case 860cc engine was retaining the cycle parts of the 750SS. Thus in its initial form the new model ran on wire spoked wheels, and was fitted with the half fairing and single seat together with the fibreglass fuel tank first seen on the 750SS. The following year the model, now in regular production, adopted a steel fuel tank and Lanfranconi silencers together with indicators, Veglia instruments, 32mm carburettors and an air cleaner. The new silencer and smaller carburettors robbed the model of some of its performance but the presence of a pair of the larger carburettors and a set of Conti's (often supplied with the machine) soon restored the performance. The 1981 example offered has been in the same family ownership from new and is described as being a "totally stock bike" that has never been restored and is presented in "good running order". It is offered with a selection of spares and retains the original silencers. The bike displays 48,000 miles on its odometer and is offered with a Mot certificate valid until the 5th June 2015 together with a Swansea V5C.
Lot 4026
- Older restoration (c. late 1980s) and still notably tidy - Involved in numerous shows by its last owner of 15 years - Said to possess `a particularly sweet engine and gearbox' Further Info: A notably tidy example of an enduringly popular British classic, `OSU 337' is believed to have been the subject of a thorough restoration in the late 1980s. Though not of concours standard, the Maroon paintwork has stood the test of time very well and the MG was apparently involved in numerous shows by its last owner, who retained the Magnette for no less than 15 years. The matching Maroon interior has recently been treated to new front seat coverings and carpets, and the vendor informs us that the car `behaves impeccably on the road' and possesses `a particularly sweet engine and gearbox'. Reviving a name from the company's past, MG introduced the Magnette ZA at the London Motor Show of 1954. Though somewhat Italianate in style, the car was in fact penned by Englishman Gerald Palmer, who had previously made his name with the characterful Jowett Javelin. Power came from the then new 1.5-litre BMC B-Series engine.
Lot 4051
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has been upgraded with a more powerful 1780cc Series 116 engine (number 01678*055315). - Reputedly supplied new to South Africa and UK registered since 2003 - Self-evidently treated to past restoration work - Rare, RHD `round tail' Duetto and recently fettled Further Info: The Spider first broke cover at the 1961 Turin Salon, though production did not commence until 1966. The pretty two-seat Roadster, then known as the `Duetto', is said to have been the last project with which `Pinin' Farina was personally associated, and it was his company that produced the monocoque body at its plant in Grugliasco. Just one year later the model was immortalised by the Dustin Hoffman film `The Graduate'. The chassis was based on that of the Giulia 105 and the Series One examples were powered by a 1570cc version of Alfa's sonorous four-cylinder twin-cam unit. In 1967, the Duetto was replaced by the 1750 (1779cc) Spider Veloce. This beautifully-presented right-hand drive Duetto is an example from the second year of the model's production, as confirmed by a letter on file from the Alfa Romeo Owners' Club. It is offered in the classic combination of Red bodywork complemented by Black interior trim. The decorative chrome Alfa Romeo hub caps positively gleam, as does the alloy cover of its free-revving DOHC four-cylinder engine, while the flanks of its iconic two-seater body each carry a small Farina badge as a subtle reminder of the Alfa's origins. This Duetto has been in its current ownership since November 2013 and, according to its V5C, was first registered in the UK during July 2003, prior to which we understand it was domiciled in South Africa. The little Alfa is now in need of a new home and is being sold complete with tailored floor mats, plus a history file containing: a paper copy of the driver's handbook; a workshop manual; various club magazines; and sundry invoices relating to the vendor's recent expenditure. These early Spiders have a purity of form that was steadily diluted as the model evolved. `TGU 343E' therefore represents an increasingly rare opportunity.
