1928 Sunbeam 493cc Model 9Registration no. UA 4789Frame no. D3042Engine no. L2036•Ridden throughout WW2 by its original owner (an RAF sergeant flight mechanic)•Only three owners from new•Present family ownership since 1987•Professionally restored 1999/2000Sunbeam had begun experimenting with overhead valves on their factory racers in the early 1920s and these duly appeared on production models in 1924. The new '500' sports roadster was known as the Model 9 - the '350' as the Model 8 - while its racing counterpart, which could top 90mph, was accordingly designated the Model 90. The overhead-valve Model 9's frame and cycle parts, which had much in common with those of Sunbeam's larger side-valve models, evolved slowly. Sunbeam missed the industry's virtually wholesale switch from flat-tank to saddle-tank frames for the 1928 season, and a saddle-tank version of the Model 9 did not appear until September of that year. Changes to the Model 9's engine were confined mainly to its top-end. The early flat-tankers featured a straight-ahead exhaust port, a peculiarity which necessitated the adoption of a bifurcated down-tube. Pushrod enclosure had arrived by 1930 to be followed a couple of years later by partial enclosure of the rocker gear. Dating from the last year of the 'flat tank' Sunbeams, this rare Vintage-era Model 9 was ridden throughout WW2 by its original owner, Walter Stoney of Hetton, North Yorkshire. Walter served as a sergeant flight mechanic with RAF 101 Squadron and would regularly drop into Leeds Railway Station for a 'pot of tea' when riding home from Norfolk in the winter months. The late historian and author of Skipton and the Dales - Ken Ellwood from Skipton, Yorkshire - was an RAF pilot and close friend of Walter Stoney. Upon Walter's death, Ken purchased the Sunbeam in 1987 and successfully applied to have the original registration reassigned to it. In 1999/2000, Ken had the Sunbeam professionally restored to its former glory; however, he did not have a motorcycle license and was more interested in flying his Tiger Moth! His son, the current vendor, purchased the Model 9 from his father's estate in 2015. He has never ridden the Sunbeam, which was serviced and tested briefly by a local enthusiast in 2019 and last started in 2021. Walter Stoney is therefore the Sunbeam's only owner/rider. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. One of circa 19 Model 9 Sunbeams of its type recorded in the VMCC Register, 'UA 4789' comes with fascinating copy photographs including some showing Walter Stoney with other ground crew in front of Lancaster bombers, and a copy of the Skipton and the Dales book showing Walter in later life with his Sunbeam on page 64. The history file also contains correspondence, an old-style logbook and a current V5C document.

Property of a deceased's estate 1950 Vincent 998cc Series-C Black ShadowRegistration no. LRO 538Frame no. RC5738B Rear Frame No. RC5738BEngine no. F10AB/1B/3838 Crankcase Mating No. FF47 / FF47•Matching numbers•Present family ownership since 1987•Stored since 2005•Requires re-commissioningEver since the Series A's arrival in 1937, the Vincent v-twin has been synonymous with design innovation, engineering excellence and superlative high performance. From Rollie Free's capture of the 'world's fastest production motorcycle' record in 1948 on a tuned Series-B Black Shadow to the final fully enclosed Black Knight and Black Prince, Philip Vincent's stress on appearance and performance is legendary. His machines bristled with innovative features, offering adjustment of brake pedal, footrests, seat height and gear-change lever. The finish was to a very high standard commensurate with the cost of the machine, which was virtually double that of any of its contemporaries.But above all else it was the v-twin's stupendous performance that captivated motorcyclists, whether they could afford one or not. The appeal of the Vincent, and the Black Shadow in particular, lay in its ability to out-perform just about every other vehicle on the road, and in the early post-war years there was nothing to compare with it. This was a time when the average family sedan was barely capable of reaching 70mph, and not until the advent of Jaguar's XK120 was there a production sports car that could live with the thundering v-twins from Stevenage. With a top speed approaching 120mph and bettering it in the Black Shadow's case, the Vincent v-twin was quite simply the fastest road vehicle of its day. The Vincent Owners' Club has kindly confirmed that this matching-numbers Series C Black Shadow was despatched to a dealer called Humphreys in London in April 1950. The old V5 on file shows that its late owner registered the Vincent on 17th October 1987, the previous keeper being listed as Mr Richard Armstrong of Hertford. The Shadow's condition when purchased by the vendor's late father is not known, but the machine now presents as an 'older restoration' that would benefit from detailing (note the crankcase breather modification). Invoices on file suggest that it was subject to a rolling restoration or simply maintained to a good standard. The odometer displays 5,256 miles, presumably since restoration. SORN'd since 2005 and last taxed until 31.5.2005, the machine has remained off the road since then and will require re-commissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent before further use (the engine turns over). Sold strictly as viewed, the Shadow comes with a substantial file of documentation to include sundry invoices, expired MoTs and tax discs, copy Works Order Form, old/current V5Cs and a Rider's Handbook. It should be noted that the V5C incorrectly records the frame prefix as 'R8' (R8/5738B).Key not requiredFootnotes: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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1955 Vincent 998cc Series-D Black Shadow Registration no. UAU 939Frame no. RD12606B Rear frame no. RD12606BEngine no. F10AB/2B/10706 (see text) Crankcase Mating no. F34V / F34V•Original UK registration and full matching numbers•Original logbook and VOC Certificate of Authenticity•Present ownership since 2006It had been Philip Vincent's belief that provision of ample weather protection combined with enclosure of engine and gearbox would make the Vincent Series-D the ultimate 'gentleman's motorcycle' and to reflect this change of emphasis the enclosed Rapide and Black Shadow were known as Black Knight and Black Prince respectively. In actuality, delayed delivery of the glassfibre panels - plus continuing demand for traditionally styled models - resulted in over half the production leaving the Stevenage factory in un-enclosed form. Other Series-D innovations included a new frame and rear suspension. A steel tube replaced the original fabricated upper member/oil tank while the paired spring-boxes gave way to a single hydraulic coil-spring/damper. In place of the integral oil reservoir there was a separate tank beneath the seat. The user-friendly hand-operated centre stand was a welcome addition, and there were many improvements to the peerless v-twin engine including coil ignition for easier starting and Amal Monobloc carburettors. The appeal of the Vincent, and the Black Shadow in particular, lay in its ability to out-perform just about every other vehicle on the road. Its creator's vision of the Series-D as a two-wheeled Grande Routière just did not conform to the public's perception of the Vincent as the ultimate sports motorcycle. The firm lost money on every machine made, and when production ceased in December 1955 only 460 Series-D v-twins had been built, some 260 of which were un-enclosed models like the example offered here. Its original logbook shows that this Black Shadow was first owned by one Alfred James Wilson of Nottingham while there are two further owners listed (the current V5C states that there have been six former keepers, which seems credible). The current vendor acquired 'UAU 939' from marque specialists Conway Motors in January 2006, and the following year participated with it on the VOC's International Rally in Australia. Conway's Inspection Report dated 6th January 2006 is on file. Last taxed and MoT'd in 2009/2010, the machine has been laid up since then and therefore requires re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent thus sold strictly as viewed. The machine retains its original Birmabright mudguards; Smiths 150mph speedometer; Lucas 'red spot' ammeter; and correct hubs and brakes. Deviations from standard include Borrani alloy wheel rims and Amal alloy control levers. The clutch is partially dismantled. In addition to the documents mentioned above, the machine comes with a 2001 issued VOC Certificate of Authenticity and current/previous V5C document. It should be noted that, in the VOC's opinion, the apparent over-stamping of the engine number is a factory error/correction ('10607' corrected to '10706').

1955 Vincent 998cc Series-D Black PrinceRegistration no. 919 XVP (see text)Frame no. RD12388B/F (see text)Engine no. F10/AB/2B/11088•Matching factory correct numbers•Single family ownership between 1963 and 2014•Off the road for 52 years (1967-2019)•Professionally restored by Mick Cook between 2016 and 2019•Original logbook presentEver since the Series-A Rapide's arrival in 1937, the Vincent v-twin had been synonymous with design innovation, engineering excellence and superlative high performance. So in September 1955 when it was revealed that production of the Stevenage-built machines would cease, the news stunned the motorcycling world. It had been decided that the firm's future lay in more profitable lines of manufacture, and only 100 more of the fabulous v-twins would be completed. By the time its demise was announced, Vincent's final twin - the Series D - had been in production for just six months. It had been Philip Vincent's belief that provision of ample weather protection combined with enclosure of engine and gearbox, would make the Vincent Series D the ultimate 'gentleman's motorcycle' and to reflect this change of emphasis the enclosed Rapide and Black Shadow were known as Black Knight and Black Prince respectively. In actuality, delayed delivery of the glassfibre panels - plus continuing demand for traditionally styled models - resulted in over half the production leaving the Stevenage factory in un-enclosed form. Other Series-D innovations included a new frame and rear suspension; a steel tube replaced the original fabricated upper member/oil tank while the paired spring boxes gave way to a single hydraulic coil-spring/damper unit offering a generous seven inches of suspension travel. In place of the integral oil reservoir there was a separate tank beneath the seat. The user-friendly hand-operated centre stand was a welcome addition, and there were many improvements to the peerless v-twin engine including coil ignition for easier starting and Amal Monobloc carburettors. Sadly though, the Shadow's magnificent 5'-diameter Smiths speedometer had been replaced by a standard 3' unit. Notwithstanding the fact that, as far as Philip Vincent was concerned, the Series D was his finest design, the motorcycle-buying public greeted the innovative new models with suspicion, as is so often the case. The appeal of the Vincent, and the Black Shadow in particular, lay in its ability to out-perform just about every other vehicle on the road, and in the early post-war years there was nothing to compare with it. This was a time when the average family saloon was barely capable of reaching 70mph, and not until the advent of Jaguar's XK120 was there a production sports car that could live with the thundering v-twins from Stevenage. Its creator's vision of the Series D as a two-wheeled Grande Routière just did not conform to the public's perception of the Vincent as the ultimate sports motorcycle. The firm lost money on every machine made, and when production ceased in December 1955 only 460 Series-D v-twins had been built, some 200 of which were enclosed models like the example offered here. First registered in June 1956, this Black Prince comes with its original logbook recording one William Noble of Falmouth as first owner followed by three others, the last of whom, Roy Drawater, purchased it in 1963. Around 1967 the Vincent was taken off the road for restoration but the project never got beyond disassembly and it remained in dry storage for 47 years. In June 2014 the machine was offered for sale for the first time in 50 years by a member of Roy Drawater's family at Bonhams' Banbury Run auction (Lot 55). Despite being dismantled, it achieved a then world record price of £91,000! Since then the Black Prince has been treated to a no-expense-spared 'ground upwards' restoration by marque specialist Mick Cook, which was completed in 2019 (bills available). Later that same year the Vincent was featured in an article for Classic Driver written by Simon de Burton (printout on file). Engine and frame numbers match but it should be noted that, due to a clerical error, the logbook and V5C record the latter as 'FF401.638585', which is actually the casting number on the front forks! Expired in May 1967, the last tax disc (still in its holder) is included in the sale. The original registration ('WCV 870') having lapsed, the Vincent is currently registered in the UK as '919 XVP'. Undoubtedly one of the finest of its kind in existence, this beautiful Black Prince is described by the vendor as in excellent, 'like new' condition throughout and is worthy of the closest inspection.

The Vincent Owners' Club has kindly confirmed that this Black Knight was manufactured in 1955 and retains matching numbers. The Vincent was supplied to Layton's of Oxford (Motors Ltd), who registered it as 'XWL 245' on 21st May 1955. It was then sold to Leo Patrick Robinson on 16th June 1955 (see old RF.60 logbook on file). Subsequent ownership is unknown up to 1986 when the Vincent was owned by a Kenneth Francis Day of Oxford (old V5 photocopy on file). The machine was purchased by the late owner from a B K Robinson of Droitwich Spa in 2003 (invoice on file).

The firm lost money on every machine made and when production ceased in December 1955 only 460 Series D v-twins had been built.The Vincent Owners' Club has kindly confirmed that 'RYE 421' is a matching-numbers Series D Rapide manufactured in 1955. The original RF.60 logbook on file shows that the Vincent was supplied to Claude Rye Ltd of Fulham Road, London SW6 and registered by them as a 'Sidecar Bicycle' on 10th May 1956. It was then sold to one A Davies on 16th July 1956, subsequently passing to Henry James Hales of West Tilbury (date stamp illegible). On 28th February 2002 the Vincent was purchased by the late owner from a Mr Stephen Hales of Chelmsford (perhaps the son of the above). Henry Hales is believed to have owned the machine since at least 1959. VOC correspondence on file states that the Rapide features in VOC yearbooks for 1959, '62, and '68 while in Mr Hales' ownership.

Property of a deceased's estate 1935 Brough Superior 1,096cc 11-50hpRegistration no. ATV 833Frame no. PS1475Engine no. LTZ/R 44954/S•Present family ownership for 52 years•Matching registration, frame and engine•Stored for some time•Requires re-commissioningLegendary superbike of motorcycling's between-the-wars 'Golden Age', the Brough Superior was synonymous with high performance, engineering excellence and quality of finish. That such a formidable reputation was forged by a motorcycle constructed almost entirely from bought-in components says much for the publicity skills of George Brough. But if ever a machine was more than the sum of its parts, it was the Brough Superior. Always the perfectionist, Brough bought only the best available components for his motorcycles, reasoning that if the product was right, a lofty price tag would be no handicap. And in the 'Roaring Twenties' there were sufficient wealthy connoisseurs around to prove him right, T E Lawrence ('Lawrence of Arabia') being the most famous example. The speed with which the name 'Brough Superior' established itself as synonymous with excellence may be gauged from the fact that the famous 'Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles' sobriquet was first coined in 1921 when the marque was barely two years old. The story goes that Rolls-Royce objected to their name being associated with a mere motorcycle - until they examined one of George's creations. Launched in 1933, the 1,096cc 11-50 was the largest Brough Superior to enter series production. Powered by a sidevalve v-twin (of unusual 60-degree configuration) supplied exclusively to the Nottingham factory by J A Prestwich, the 11-50 fitted into the Brough price range between the SS80 touring and SS100 super-sports models. The 11-50 was conceived as a long-legged, effortless tourer and could exceed 90mph in solo form or pull a heavy sidecar at up to 75mph; indeed, in the latter role it was one of the finest sidecar mounts of its day. Production lasted until 1939, by which time the 11-50 was the only JAP-powered machine in the Brough Superior range. Despatched new to one A H Rodgers, this 11-50 is very much the 'De Luxe' model in so far as it has the spring frame, Castle forks, and twin carburettors, all of which were 'extras'. 'ATV 833' has been in the late owner's family's possession for the last 52 years and when acquired still had its factory-fitted (in 1938) AGS Cruiser sidecar attached. Kept in dry storage for some time, the Brough will require re-commissioning before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. The machine is offered with a copy of its Works Record Card, an old-style continuation logbook, assorted correspondence, and old/current V5C documents.

1927 Sunbeam 493cc Model 9Registration no. KO 3218Frame no. D1305 (see text)Engine no. L1325Sunbeam had begun experimenting with overhead valves on their factory racers in the early 1920s and these duly appeared on production models in 1924. The new '500' sports roadster was known as the Model 9 (the '350'as the Model 8) while its race bike counterpart, which could top 90mph, was accordingly designated the Model 90. Sunbeam missed the industry's virtually wholesale switch from flat-tank to saddle-tank frames for the 1928 season, and a saddle-tank version of the Model 9 did not appear until September of that year. Changes to the Model 9's engine were confined mainly to its top-end. This Vintage-era Sunbeam Model 9 was formerly owned by keen amateur competitor R T Green, who participated with it in various events in the late 1920s/early 1930s, including the 1930 Southern Trial in which he received a 2nd Class award (No.13). Copies of contemporary press cuttings are on file together with a V5C document and an old-style continuation logbook issued in 1958 listing Richard Thomas Green as owner. It should be noted that the frame number is incorrectly recorded in the V5C as '01305'. Carrying a tax disc that expired in 1972, the machine has not been used for some time but was, we are advised, checked and started by a specialist in July 2021. Nevertheless, careful re-commissioning is advised before returning it to the road. A quantity of R T Green's medals is included in he sale.

c.1928 AJS 350cc Model K4Registration no. SV 9647 (see text)Frame no. K125574Engine no. K125574 (see text)AJS first entered the Isle of Man TT in 1911, making an historic breakthrough in 1914 when it won the Junior event, the first such victory by a single-cylinder machine. From then onwards, the 23/4hp (350cc) sidevalve-engined model remained a fixture of the AJS range. Light in weight (around 200lbs), robust and adequately powerful, the model is widely regarded as one the finest of Vintage-era sports machines.The vendor purchased this AJS 'flat-tanker' from Adrian Moss approximately 12 years ago but has no knowledge of the its history. Following a conversation with Adrian Moss, he advises us that machine was purchased from Ron Farthing. No other history is known. The machine will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road, and it should be noted that the engine number is believed to be a non-factory re-stamp. The registration 'SV 9647' is recorded in the HPI/DVLA database; however, there are no documents with this Lot. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the validity of this motorcycle's registration number as well as its completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding.

1930 BSA 493cc S31-10 'Sloper' De Luxe & Graiseley Launch SidecarRegistration no. GK 1564Frame no. Y7 1021Engine no. Y10 603First introduced for the 1927 season, the influential 'Sloper' started a trend that saw many of BSA's competitors adopt inclined motors. The Sloper also featured a trend-setting saddle tank that afforded a low seating position, and for 1930 gained chromium-plated brightwork and a new frame with forged steel spine. Models with the 493cc overhead-valve engine came with twin-port cylinder heads. For 1930 the Birmingham firm offered no fewer than 18 models, six of which had inclined engines. The Sloper range remained essentially Vintage in character until its demise in 1935, by which time the line-up had shrunk to just two models: one overhead-valve, the other sidevalve, both of 595cc.This very smartly turned-out Sloper combination was purchased by the previous owner (a former secretary of the Vintage Sports Car Club) in the early 1990s. In 1995, Christopher Franklin, a VMCC stalwart, restored the machine to a high standard and was ridden in many events. BSA Factory records held by the VMCC confirm the machine is of 1930 manufacture (eligible for the VMCC's Banbury Run) and is recorded as a 1931 Model S31-10 dispatched 16th October 1930 to G Lawrence Motors, London. The registration GK 1564 was issued September 1930. Purchased by the current vendor in November 2018 we are advised, the magneto has recently been refurbished, all wiring checked and now working. Last run in July 2022, the machine is offered with an old-style buff logbook, sundry bills, current MoT, and a V5C Registration Certificate.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.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N MOTORCYCLESIf purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (SHIPPIO) to undertake the NOVA and C88 (customs) application if applicable on the Buyer's behalf.

1924 BSA 349cc Model LRegistration no. NX 5643Frame no. 12487Engine no. 12287Introduced for 1923, the Model L, as it would come to be known, is noteworthy as BSA's first production motorcycle to have overhead valves. Inspired by the 1.1-litre Hotchkiss v-twin that powered the BSA-Daimler light car, the new engine displaced 349cc. Complementing this new ohv sports model was an otherwise similar sidevalve version sharing essentially the same cycle parts. 'To the sporting solo rider who asks for a 'go anywhere' mount, its records in the Scottish Six Days' Trial and the International Trials in Sweden in 1923 stand as recommendation,' stated Pitman's Book of the BSA, reviewing the sidevalve Model L. This sidevalve Model L was despatched from the factory on 2nd April 1924 and registered as 'NX 5643' in Warwickshire. The vendor's father-in-law purchased the BSA in 1973 and rode it regularly on short journeys until the early 1990s, since when it has been kept garaged and not used. Re-commissioning will be required before the machine returns to the road. 'NX 5643' comes with photocopies of an old-style logbook and V5C document, plus a BSA OC letter dated 2009 confirming the machine's origins and the fact that it has been 'restored to original spec'.

1928 James 496cc Sports Twin ProjectRegistration no. UC 8261Frame no. DP 1733Engine no. ST1983James's first v-twin motorcycle, the 500cc 'No.7', arrived in 1914. Priced at 60 guineas, this top-of-the-range offering was a quality product that incorporated some interesting ideas, one of the more practical being the 'spring drive' shock absorber built into the rear wheel hub. 'We confidently claim that this refinement affords all the sweetness of 'belt drive' with none of the attendant foibles,' declared its maker. After WWI, James continued to offer a range that consisted of both singles and twins, the 3½hp (496cc) Model 12 Sports Twin being a new introduction for 1923. This Sports Twin was in long-term family ownership of some 40 years before being sold as a part-restored project at Bonhams' Beaulieu sale in September 2012 (Lot 515). Since then considerable further restoration has been carried out: gearbox rebuilt; wheels rebuilt; tank restored and repainted; speedometer restored; and new brakes, mudguards, seat, control levers and taper-roller steering head bearings fitted. Although not fully rebuilt, the engine has been converted to provide a positive oil-feed to the main and big-end bearings. Four boxes of spares are included in the sale. Offered with instruction books; an original parts book; sundry bills; a green continuation logbook and old/current V5/V5C documents, this most worthwhile project represents an exciting opportunity to return this rare Vintage-era James to the road.

1936 Rudge 248cc SportsRegistration no. UJ 7686Frame no. 57852Engine no. T1317Motorcycle manufacturers from 1910 to 1939, Rudge were renowned for championing the four-valves-per-cylinder engine layout, employing it for the first time on a 250 in 1931, its previous offerings in the class having used two-valve JAP engines. The contemporary 350's fully-radial valve arrangement was used for the new quarter-litre Rudge, rather than the semi-radial arrangement of the sports and racing 500s or the parallel layout preferred for the touring Special. The Rudge 250 was unusual for its day in having coil ignition, though a magneto became optional later and was standard issue on the works racers and the TT Replica. A two-valve Tourist version joined the existing four-valve Sports 250 for 1935 and became the Rapid the following year when it adopted the marque's characteristic coupled brakes. With the deletion of the four-valver at the end of 1936, the Rapid became the sole 250 in the range (a new Sports version with high-level exhaust was added for 1938) and the only Rudge to retain the left-side gear pedal to the end. Sold strictly as viewed, this four-valve Sports was purchased from Bonhams' sale of the Geeson Brothers' Collection in March 2003 (Lot 231). Offered from the collection of noted collector, the late Ken Senior, the machine comes with an old-style continuation logbook; a copy old V5; and an old-type V5C document.

1937 Triumph 350cc Tiger 80Registration no. AAS 178Frame no. SABTVRO3972219029 (see text)Engine no. 7 T80 4368Edward Turner's arrival at Triumph in 1936 resulted in extensive improvements to the range. A brilliant stylist, Turner transformed the Val Page-designed overhead-valve singles by adopting sports specification engines, high level exhausts, chromed fuel tanks and a new name: 'Tiger'. Frames, forks, engines and gearboxes were all improved for 1937 and a trio of randomly selected Tigers successfully completed a series of arduous speed trails to secure the Maudes Trophy for Triumph later in the year. Today, Turner's Tigers are widely recognised as the most stylish sports roadsters of the period and are highly sought after. Formerly part of a collection of pre-war Triumphs, this Tiger 80 was purchased as a 'basket case' and restored to factory specification in 1990. Maintained in full working order, it has been on the road since the restoration's completion, making several visits to the IoM races and completing a trouble-free 180-mile run from Shrewsbury to London in May 2022. Accompanying paperwork consists of receipts, a VMCC dating document, V5/V5C registration documents, old MoTs and tax discs, etc. It should be noted that a 'SABTVRO' VIN number is assigned by a vehicle registration office when the original identity of a bodyshell or frame cannot be determined. The VMCC dating document quotes the frame number as 'TL.2496' which is stamped in the correct position.

1939 Triumph 343cc 3HWRegistration no. YWG 259Frame no. to be advisedEngine no. 3HW 51643Following the destruction of its Coventry factory in an air raid in November 1940, Triumph relocated to Meriden, Warwickshire and recommenced production of the single-cylinder sidevalve 3SW and overhead-valve 3HW military models. The latter was based on the pre-war Tiger 80 sports roadster, the engine of which was modified to incorporate rocker boxes cast integrally with the cast-iron cylinder head, aluminium alloy being in short supply. Triumph's single-cylinder models were used mainly by the Royal Navy for despatch duties and general liaison, with the less-powerful 3SW reserved for the WRNS. This 3HW had already been restored when it was purchased in its present condition in Greece 25 years ago. First registered in the UK in 2016, the Triumph has not run for some 25 years and will require re-commissioning at the very least before further use. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with a TOMC dating certificate and a V5C document.Key not requiredFootnotes: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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1966 Triumph 649cc T120TT Bonneville TT SpecialRegistration no. TRX 210DFrame no. T120TT DU46093Engine no. T120TT DU46903The USA had long been Triumph's most important export market, and to cater for local tastes a 'TT Special' (also known as the 'Competition Sports') Bonneville was introduced in 1964. The Triumph twin was already a formidable force in American flat-track racing, and the TT Special's stripped-down look, smaller fuel tank and short, open exhaust pipes echoed the style of the racers. By this time a maximum output of 52bhp was claimed for the Bonneville while the TT Special engine produced 54bhp courtesy of 11.2:1 pistons (up from the T120 roadster's 9.0:1). A crankcase under-shield, tachometer-only instrumentation, larger-section front tyre and an absence of lighting further distinguished the TT, which came with lowered overall gearing reflecting its intended role as primarily a dirt bike. This TT Bonneville was subject to a 'last nut and bolt' no-expense-spared restoration to 'as new' condition circa 2000, since when it has seen very little use. The previous owner stored the machine in a heated warehouse following its acquisition in 2005, covering only a couple of hundred miles up to 2019 when ownership passed to the current vendor. Since then the Bonnie has been ridden for only some 20 miles. The machine last ran in August 2022. Accompanying documentation consists of a VMCC dating communication, a V5C Registration Certificate, and a full list of what was done during the restoration (perusal recommended).

1969 Velocette 495cc MSSRegistration no. MFK 64Frame no. RS7295Engine no. MSS 11835The third of Velocette's overhead-valve, high-camshaft, single-cylinder designs, the 500cc MSS was announced in 1935. The first of these new models had been the 250cc MOV of 1933, which was joined for 1934 by a long-stroke 350cc version - the MAC. In creating the MSS, Veloce kept to the basic design, combining the MAC's 96mm stroke with a larger bore to create its new '500'. The MSS engine went into a new frame derived from that of the racing KTT. The model disappeared from Veloce Limited's range in 1948 while the company concentrated on the LE, reappearing in 1954 with a new swinging-arm frame and Hall Green's own telescopic front fork. The engine too was updated, gaining 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 86x86mm along with an alloy cylinder barrel and 'head. Following the introduction of the Venom and Viper sports models, sales of the touring MSS gradually declined throughout the 1960s; only 22 were made in 1929 and the last examples left the factory in 1970.Sold strictly as viewed and offered from the collection of noted collector, the late Ken Senior, this 1955 Velocette MSS comes with an old-type V5C Registration Certificate.

1961 Ariel 247cc ArrowRegistration no. YSR 710Frame no. T26826/TEngine no. T-264-AThe Ariel Leader, and its sports derivative, the Arrow, sought to combine the virtues of speed and agility with those of cleanliness and convenience. Launched in 1958 and powered by an all-new 247cc air-cooled two-stroke twin with unitary gearbox, the Leader also broke with British tradition in its frame and suspension design, employing a stiff, fabricated-steel beam instead of tubes, and a trailing-link front fork. Detachable panels enclosing the engine and most of the rear wheel extended forwards to meet leg-shields and screen, and the rear chain was fully enclosed. Announced late in 1959, the Arrow dispensed with the Leader's enclosure panels and weather protection while remaining mechanically virtually identical. The Arrow was revised for 1961, gaining squish-band, centre-plug cylinder heads while a third model - the Super Sports, universally referred to as the 'Golden Arrow' after its distinctive colour scheme - was added at the same time.First registered in 1961, this 'ordinary' Arrow is believed to be fitted with an engine of earlier date. Acquired by the current vendor in 2017 it was soon after treated to a complete engine and gearbox rebuild by Dragonfly c.1,500 miles ago. Resprayed to 'Golden Arrow' colours, other noteworthy features include 10:1 cylinder heads; monobloc 376/377; 12v electric ignition; indicators; mirrors and LED headlight among other things.

1988 Harley-Davidson 1340cc FXRS-SP Low Rider SportRegistration no. F952 FGTFrame no. 1HD1EGL18KY113961Engine no. EBLK113961• One owner from new• Less than 500 miles from new• Paintwork refreshed and machine recommissioned in 2018The F-series models were 74 cubic inches (1208cc) and basically the E with a larger bore and stroke. Like the E models, the sports model F was named the FL (a nomenclature which remains part of Harley's range to this day). However, production of civilian models was somewhat restricted for a few years due to the switch to war production, and the F was made in only limited numbers until civilian production picked up again in 1945/46.The Harley Davidson FX was Willie G. Davidson's idea to capitalise on the custom/chopper movement of the sixties. Introduced in 1971, under the new AMF ownership, it was introduced as a half-way house between the Electra Glide and the Sportster. Lighter than the former and heavier than the latter, it was based on the Shovelhead engine, and was intended to be a sports cruiser which could lend itself to the owner's customisation, either with Harley parts, or those of the many aftermarket suppliers that had sprung up. The Low Rider name first appeared in 1977 with the FXS in 1208cc form, and from 1980 it acquired the 1340cc engine. Subsequently, the FXRS Low Rider appeared in 1987, in standard and Sport forms. The Sport version had twin discs, instruments on the handlebar, tank cap in the centre, and a new version of anti-dive air-assisted forks.This particular Low Rider Sport, was purchased new by the owner in 1988, from F H Warr & Sons Ltd (original bill of sale on file). Following acquisition, the machine was used only sparingly, and spent some time without use altogether. During the early 2000s, the owner MoT'd the machine several times, and had some services (see invoices on file, but covered very few miles. In 2018 he gave the bike to The Motorcycle Restoration Company in Saffron Walden to repaint the cycle parts, replace several parts, re-plate some of the fasteners, and carry out a full service, including a new battery and drive belt. The cost of this work amounted to £4601.59 (see invoice on file). At this time the mileage on the MoT certificate was 489 miles; on consignment the mileage was 494 miles. The owner has once again had the machine serviced and Mot'd earlier this year (invoice and Mot certificate on file). Reluctantly, the vendor has decided that F952 FGT is now too heavy for his advancing years, and should be passed to a new owner to enjoy.A rare opportunity to acquire a one owner, virtually unused, Harley Davidson Low Rider Sport, ready to use and enjoy. Documentation comprises a current V5C, current MoT certificate, the aforementioned original bill of sale, old Mot certificates, restoration invoice, service invoices, and miscellaneous other paperwork. The Harley is presently on SORN.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 bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
