1954 BSA CA7 Shooting Star 497cc Registration number CSL 544 Chassis number CA71111. Engine number CA7SS5075. BSA's initial post-war production 500 twin was originally equipped with a long-stroke engine with its roots in the 1930s, which in 1951 they updated with the new 497cc OHV vertical twin engine with a top speed of 88mph. This sporty, 32bhp version of the A7 used an alloy cylinder head, as also fitted to the 650 Road Rocket version, with special valve seat inserts, higher comp pistons (up to 7.25:1), sports cam and manual ignition control, operated by the rider's left hand. The Shooting Star also incorporated full width aluminium hubs and central cast-in alloy drum brakes. BSA claimed these were 'extremely powerful' and indeed they could stop the A7SS from 30mph in 29 feet on dry tarmac. After a Motor Cycle magazine test in 1957, they said that 'ease of handling, sweet transmission and smooth low speed pulling make the Shooting Star a delightful machine to ride in traffic, while zestful acceleration and steering cater admirably for the rider who wants something out of the ordinary in 500cc performance.' The A7 went out of production in 1962 when it was replaced by the unit-construction A50. This example was purchased by the vendor in 1996 as several boxes of parts, he began a comprehensive restoration which included the SRM engineering upgrade of the crackshaft with a needle roller bearing conversion, blue printing of the engine, all stainless steel nuts, bolts, rims and spokes. He then obtained an age related registration number and enjoyed many years of gentle motoring, the mileage is now 4546. Only for sale due to the vendors medical condition and being sold to fund the building of a Suzuki powered trike, this wonderful bike will require gentle re commissioning as it has stood idle for the last twelve months. Included in the sale is the V5C, a pannier frame and side panels, spare exhaust, hand made tools to assist with maintenance, various receipts and a service manual.
Lot 1518
1936 Norton ES2 Special Order 490 cc Registration number EPK 509 Frame number 73170 Engine number 72073 The Norton Motorcycle Company was founded in Birmingham in 1898 as a manufacturer of "fittings and parts for the two-wheel trade". By 1902, the company began manufacturing motorcycles with bought-in engines. In 1908, a Norton-built engine was added to the range. This began a long series of production of single and eventually twin-cylinder motorcycles, and a long history of racing involvement. The ES2 was first produced in 1927. It was a long stroke single, 79mm x 100mm bore and stroke, originally launched as a sports motorcycle. The example offered here is a matching numbers machine that has had an interesting life and has a documented history from the day it was ordered, through to its use by the York Constabulary during WWII, to its discovery in a barn and its subsequent restorations to the wonderful example it is today. It was a special order for Mr. A. Wilson (Titch), factory order F66121, dispatched from the factory on the 20th November 1936 to Jacksons Motorcycles and first road registered on the 30th December 1936. The special order parts were a dyno, foot change, International forks, an oversized tank and Amal T.T. carburetors. Titch was an enthusiast who regularly changed his bike; the next owner was Mr. J. Selfe of Guildford on the 14th March 1938, followed a year later on the 17th March 1939 to Heath Brothers of Guildford and subsequently confiscated by the Ministry of Supply for use in the War Effort. On the 12th January 1941 it was suppled to the York City Police Force and used for convoy escort duties. It was ridden by P.C. Butler who bought it after the war, removing the military battleship grey paint and restoring it to civilian spec., he later sold it to a farmer called William Fairweather of Coxwold. In 1986 Mr R. Haley found it hanging from the rafters of a barn at Mr Fairweathers', bought it and began restoring it to the war time colours. He sold it to Mr Fairburn on the 20th July 2004 who had it restored to factory spec during 2013/14. Sold with the buff log book, the V5, a war time head lamp, a pair of rims and a vast collection of correspondence between the various owners and their friends, restoration photos and receipts, EPK 509 offers the collector a rare chance to own a fully documented Norton that will require gentle re commissioning before use.
Lot 1526
1989 Mazda Eunos 1600 cc. Registration number G 339 PWR. Chassis number NA6CE - 123603. Engine number TBA. First generation MX5 models were built between 1989 and 1998 and are known as the MK1. They are also referred to by their model code, NA. In many peoples opinion the most iconic version of the MX5, the MK1's most distinctive feature is its "pop up" headlights, whereas all subsequent versions of the MX5 have "fixed" lamps. When it was first launched in Japan in 1989 (then subsequently in the UK in 1990), the Mk1 was only available with a 1.6 litre 114 bhp engine, although later versions had a 1.8 litre. The MX-5 is conceptually the evolution and spiritual successor of the British sports cars of the 1950s & '60s, such as the Triumph Spitfire, Austin-Healey 100, MG MGA, and particularly the Lotus Elan. In 2009, Jeremy Clarkson wrote: "The fact is that if you want a sports car, the MX-5 is perfect. Nothing on the road will give you better value. Nothing will give you so much fun. The only reason I'm giving it five stars is because I can't give it fourteen." 1,000,000 MX5's have now come off the production line and this example is the 123,603rd produced; given the number that have been scrapped or converted to race cars this must be one of the earliest surviving. In Classic Red (code SU) she was subject to a comprehensive overhaul between 2012 and 2015 which included a windscreen out respray, a new radiator, water pump, cam belt, clutch, front and rear brake discs and pads, gearbox oil, waxoyled and is in very good original condition. Unlike most Eunos imports that were heavily personalised this one is still very stock, the only noted deviations being the chrome wing mirrors, filler cap and the steering wheel. The mileage of circa 155,000 km equates to circa 96,000 miles and comes with a new MOT certificate.
Lot 1519
1976 Triumph Bonnieville T140V, 750 cc. Registration number RWU 846R. Chassis number GN72084. Engine number DN70359. The initial model of the T140 line was the 'V', which stood for five-speed transmission which was a Quaife design. Developed from the Bonneville T120, the T140V was launched in 1973 in response to declining sales. Problems with vibration meant that sales were slow however, and production was heavily disrupted by the workers' occupation of the Meriden factory in 1973. But new hope came in the spring of 1975, when the striking workers formed the Meriden Cooperative. With loans from the government, the new company renewed production of the Triumph T140V Bonneville. Unlike its former stewards, the Meriden Cooperative saw the need to update and improve the Bonnie, while at the same time playing to its time-honored strengths of simplicity, agility and light weight. Oil leakage, always the scourge of British twins, was profoundly tamed, and the Triumph T140V Bonneville was continuously improved and updated. Front and rear disc brakes came in 1976, as did left-hand shift to satisfy U.S. regulations. Much-improved Amal MkII carburetors came in 1978, and by 1979 all Bonnies sported electronic ignition. This low mileage UK example will require a full restoration as it has been in storage since the original owner died in the late 1970's. Semi restored by his father in the mid 1980's it now sports a Harris frame from 1986 to go with the original April 1976 engine, it comes with an air box, a pair of silencers and a spare chain.
Lot 1505
1965 Kerry Capitano 49 cc project in need of restoration. Registration number KKH 30D. Frame number 8963. Engine number 8963. The Kerry Capitano range of machines were actually made in Italy by Testi. Kerry (later to become Partco) imported a selection of machines from the Testi range and simply re-badged them as Kerry Capitano. As well as the 2-speed, 3-speed, Scooterette and the sports-styled Grand Prix, Kerry also brought in examples of the Weekend Cross and a three-wheeler. This example was first registered on the 16th Oct 1965 with the registration number FAT 907C, according to the buff log book it had three owners in the Hull area, a MOT in 1972 was obtained in Hull followed by a change of registration noted on a 1986 MOT and the V5 form to KKH 30D. Sold with a riders handbook and a spares book.

Spring Racing Weekend, Double Diamond", and an album mainly comprising newspaper, magazine articles and pictures covering 1959-1964 as well as six letters dated 1959 from Simpson to the vendor's father, one dated 10-11-59 detailing a visit to Liverpool to see "Dave" stating he will bring over several articles for his collection including jerseys, pennants, and such. Tom Simpson was one of Britain's most successful cyclists, he won a bronze medal for track cycling at the 1956 Summer Olympics, and a silver medal at the 1958 British Empire & Commonwealth Games. When he turned professional at the age of 21, he won the 1961 Tour of Flanders and became the first British rider to wear the yellow jersey during the 1962 Tour de France. In 1963 he won several other races and in 1965 became Britain's first World Road Race Champion, also winning the Giro di Lombardia, making him the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, the first cyclist to win this award. Sadly, Simpson collapsed and died during the ascent of Mont Ventoux during the 1967 Tour de France aged just 29. CONDITION REPORT: Jerseys are of mixed condition, some moth holes.

Lot 35
- Desirable turbo M100 for which Lotus claimed 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and 137mph - Recently treated to a full service and new brakes all round, Grey leather upholstery - Documented history file and 'no advisories' MOT valid till July 2017 Vendor Condition Ratings: Bodywork: 'Very Good'Engine: 'Excellent'Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good'Paintwork: 'Very Good'Gearbox: 'Very Good'Interior Trim: 'Good' Further Info: After a production gap of some 14 years, Lotus took the decision to reintroduce the much-loved Elan name onto its new two-seater convertible sports car. The M100 Elan aimed to dispel the old clichés of unreliability by installing a trusted Japanese engine and manual transmission supplied by Isuzu, and built with the development and testing resources of General Motors. Around £35 million was invested in the car's development, more than any other car in Lotus history. Its design - penned by Peter Stevens - featuring a fibreglass composite body over a rigid steel backbone chassis, was true to Lotus founder Colin Chapman's original philosophy of achieving performance through low weight. In 1986 the purchase of Lotus by General Motors provided the financial backing to develop a new, small, affordable car in the same spirit as the original Elan, a development prototype had been built a few years earlier, using a fibreglass body and a Toyota-supplied 1.6-litre engine and transmission. Lotus was hoping to sell the car through Toyota dealerships worldwide, badged as a Lotus Toyota, but the project never came to fruition and the prototype was shelved (although Lotus's collaboration with Toyota had some influence on the design of the Toyota MR2). The idea of a small roadster powered by an outsourced engine remained, however, and in late 1986 Peter Stevens's design for the Type M100 was approved and work began by Lotus engineers to turn the clay styling buck into a car that could be built. This process was completed in just under three years, a remarkably short time from design to production car. 'G395 XPJ', finished in Pacific Blue, is a Series 1 car first registered just 10 months into production. The bodywork and paintwork is in very good all-round condition, with none of the usual crazing and cracking associated with a fibreglass vehicle, the car having benefited from a respray in recent years. The interior, which is finished in complimentary grey leather with blue piping, is in good order.Mechanically, the Elan is in good condition, maintaining good oil pressure and accelerating rapidly and smoothly, the gearbox changing with a satisfying precision. The Elan has obviously been the subject of someone's passionate interest, with a documented history file. A recent full service and new brakes all-round mean this M100 which will come freshly MOT'd with 'no-advisories' can be immediately enjoyed.
Lot 71
- Handsome four-door pillarless design and 1 of just 2 examples known to have survived - A rival in period to the Alvis Speed 20, Lagonda M45 and Bentley 3.5 Litre - Potent 3.3 litre OHV straight-six engine, documented history and wonderful interior Vendor Condition Ratings: Bodywork: 'Very Good'Engine: 'Excellent'Electrical Equipment: Paintwork: 'Very Good'Gearbox: 'Very Good'Interior Trim: 'Very Good' H&H are indebted to the vendor for the following description: 'This powerful 3.3 litre coupe was top of the Sunbeam range in 1933. Its lavish interior and low-line style singles it out as one of the great sports / touring cars of the 1930s. It is in good condition all round and ready to show or use. The Sunbeam 25 sports cars of the period vied with the Derby Bentleys and Alvis Speed 20s for prominence as the sporting gentleman's pride and joy. Relatively few 25s were made and this four-door pillarless coupe was the most expensive Sunbeam at the time with only one other known to still exist. Its history is well-documented with seven owners, generally in the South of England and latterly in Cambridge. It has covered less than 20,000 miles in the last forty-five years as evidenced from the MOT certificates. The Sunbeam had only one owner from 1967 to 1995 and was used regularly during the late 1960s and 1970s and attended Sandhurst rallies over this period. Mileage on MOTs was not recorded during the 1960s, but in 1971 a mileage of 3,500 was recorded and the history suggests that the car had always been kept on the road and in regular use. We know the Sunbeam was on the road in 1975 as a tax disc is present, but it was soon after garaged as its enthusiast owner opted to use his 18.2 Sunbeam model instead. Sadly during the mid-1990s the long term owner passed away and the car was given to a specialist for appraisal. The Sunbeam at this point required a high level of work but retained lots of originality. A new owner was found in 1995 and substantial work was then carried out. The engine was overhauled with new pistons, new big end bolts, refaced cylinder head, recut valve seats, refaced valves and various machining work was carried out. It was reported that white metal work had been done in 1965 and only several thousand miles had been covered since. The gearbox was inspected, the clutch relined and a higher ratio crown wheel and pinion fitted; ideal for longer distance touring. The electrical system was re-wired, brake system overhauled, steering overhauled and the suspension treated to new telescopic shock absorbers. The exhaust system was replaced and the starter motor and dynamo stripped, checked and overhauled. The bodywork was stripped down, floorboards and bulk head replaced and various frame work panels replaced or repaired. The Sunbeam was painted and various re-chroming work carried out. The interior was found totally original and treated to new carpets, new headlining and leather work carried out to the rear. Between 1996 and 2004 the Sunbeam covered around 7,000 miles and then changed hands; between 2004 and 2011 another 6,000 miles were accrued. 'AXE 411' was then sold to its most recent owner who covered several thousand further miles and carried out the expensive engine work. The car is currently in good mechanical order and had the brakes overhauled and relined again recently. The bodywork has a deep mature shine and internally the leather and woodwork are outstanding. The sliding roof pulls back easily and the steering is surprisingly light once the car is moving at over a few miles per hour. It comes with good records of its more recent history, tools and a sales brochure. All in all it is a most imposing car of the period. Rare, valuable and highly collectable and something different from the usual crop of thirties Bentleys'.

Lot 98
- A 'home market' car that pleasingly retains matching chassis and engine numbers - The subject of an extensive bodywork restoration and mechanical overhaul in recent years - Factory-fitted Tan leather upholstery, Moss 4-speed gearbox plus optional overdrive, original registration number Vendor Condition Ratings: Bodywork: 'Very Good'Engine: 'Very Good'Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good'Paintwork: 'Good'Gearbox: 'Very Good'Interior Trim: 'Excellent' Introduced at the 1955 Earls' Court Motor Show, the Jaguar 2.4 (retrospectively known as the MKI) was notable as the marque's first monocoque design. Powered by a 2443cc DOHC XK engine and reputedly capable of over 100mph, the luxuriously trimmed newcomer proved a deservedly strong seller. Although, a short production run - 1956-1959 - meant that its MKII successor was far more populous. Sporting the wider front grille and smaller rear wheel spats introduced in 1958, this particular example also boasts individual front seats and the twin options of (working) overdrive and a dashboard-mounted passenger grab handle. Extensively restored during the last few years, the Jaguar retains its original bodyshell albeit augmented with brand new wings, closing panels, replacement spats, new jacking points, inner / outer sills, front chassis cross member and 'crow's feet'. The bumper irons, chassis rails and rear spring carriers were re-metalled, the rear wheelarches repaired and the rear valance replaced before the whole of the underside was waxoyled. A bare metal repaint was undertaken, much re-chroming done, the dashboard re-veneered, a new steering wheel fitted and the original Tan leather upholstery cleaned. The factory-fitted engine (matching block and head numbers) was overhauled and attention paid to the water pump, carburettors, fuel pump, brakes (fronts uprated with Volvo 240/60 callipers), rear axle, Panhard Rod assembly, clutch, front wheel bearings, handbrake mechanism and rear springs. Benefiting from the fitment of new radial tyres all round, the sports saloon is described thus by the vendor: 'After restoration the car probably presented as well as it had done when new and there has been only minor wear and tear to the outside since. The interior is a joy to sit in. The Moss gearbox changes particularly nicely. The car comes with its owner's handbook and service manual, two nice period documents in their own right'.
Lot 72
- Straight-six Jaguar engine with triple carburettors - BRG with green leather seats, Hardura carpets and Mota-Lita four spoke steering wheel - Part of a deceased estate, in dry storage for c.12 months Jaguar became a global brand thanks to their successes in the Le Mans 24 Hours during the 1950s when their production-based C-Type won in both 1951 and 1953. For the 1954 race, however, a much more sophisticated D-Type sports racer was developed, with the works team cars only just being beaten by Ferrari's 5-litre V12 375 Plus. However, Jaguars were soon leading the field again, with a one/two in the Reims 12 Hours a few weeks later. The Hawthorn/Bueb works D won the 1955 Le Mans race and the privateer Ecurie Ecosse team from Edinburgh claimed victory twice more for the marque in 1956 and 1957. This hat-trick of victories at Le Mans ensured the D Type's legendary status for all time. As the rarity and value of genuine Ds put them out of reach of most, a number of replicas and lookalike models were spawned over the years, such as the example offered here by RAM. One of the better kits available, the RAM D-Type was praised by Kit Cars & Specials magazine as having 'undisputed mechanical integrity,' and to be 'one of the most desirable replicas we have yet laid our hands on.' Understood to have been built in the early 1990s using a 1963 Jaguar 340 as the donor vehicle, this fibreglass bodied example boasts a number of interesting features including Hardura carpeting, a Mota-Lita four spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, alloy gear knob and period dip switch. The engine is believed to be of 3.8 litre capacity and the car appears to have been constructed to a good standard. With its period registration number and replica D-Type style alloy wheels shod with Pirelli tyres it certainly looks the part. Forming part of a deceased estate, having been in the late-owner's ownership since 1995, it has been in dry storage for at least a year and will require careful recommissioning before use. Reminiscent of the later cars with high fin and wraparound windscreen, YVG 354 is offered with a Swansea V5C registration document. Please Note: The V5 document shows the make as Jaguar but no model or type details are recorded. The chassis number quoted on this document appears to relate to a Jaguar MkX 3.8 saloon and the engine number quoted ends in 5 and not 3 as recorded on the chassis plate. Details of the engine number stamped on the engine will be available once the car is delivered to the sale venue. The car has been running and driven under its own power briefly when delivered to the sale. The engine number on the engine is obscured by the oil filter but appears to start with a 7 and end with an 8 which we believe would be consistent with a MkX 3.8-litre unit.
Lot 30
- 1 of just 315 Saab 96 V4 cars known to the DVLA and 2 former keepers shown on V5C - Reportedly treated to 'routine maintenance and renovation over its 44-year life' - Dark Brown leather interior, MOT valid till Dec 2016 Vendor Condition Ratings: Bodywork: 'Average'Engine: 'Good'Electrical Equipment: 'Good'Paintwork: 'Average'Gearbox: 'Good'Interior Trim: 'Average' Further Info: The Saab 96 was released in 1960 as a replacement for the Saab 93 model. Initially available with only with a 3 cylinder 2-stroke engine until 1967 when, under a veil of secrecy other engines were tested before the 1498cc Ford V4 unit was chosen for installation. The 96 was transformed as a result of this, allowing it to compete on an entirely different level on both the retail market and indeed the competitive rally circuit where the V4 claimed World Rally Championship crowns in both 1973 and 1976. Being the subject of routine maintenance and renovation over its 44-year life, 'HVG 847L' is presented in Black with a Dark Brown interior, the bodywork is in above average condition and is very presentable and useable. The gearbox selects and engages as it should and the engine, having recently undergone a carburettor overhaul, pulls the car along with gusto, breathing well through the sports exhaust system that subtly upgrades this tax-exempt 96. Supplied with a MOT valid till December 2016, the Saab is ready to be immediately enjoyed boasting as it does quirky good-looks and Scandanavian charm aplenty. PLEASE NOTE: Upon nearing Donington Park, the vendor noticed what he believed to be a slight loss of power and mild vibration. A vehicle technician attended and suspects a degradation of a fibre/nylon gear attached to the balance shaft. Further inspection/costs will be necessary, but as the vehicle has arrived, the vendor has decided to offer the Saab at a reduced price. Any prospective purchaser who may have travelled has the option therefore to proceed. H&H Can confirm that the engine turns over: however should now be considered a non-runner. The vehicle remains taxed and MOT'd. The '96' remains a wonderful historic rallying opportunity, especially if equipped with a Weber carburettor and freshly balanced engine!
