2003 Ducati 999 SRegistration no. YX03 HKSFrame no. ZDMH400Aa2b002389Engine no. 226.3.064.1ATo say that the arrival of the 999 struck the Ducati world like a thunderbolt would be a gross understatement, so different was the newcomer from what had gone before. Gone was the familiar pair of horizontal rectangular headlights that had characterised the iconic 916 and its successors, replaced by a pair of vertically stacked circular lights; the result could not have looked more different. Even the trademark single-sided swinging arm had gone, swapped for a conventional double-sided 'arm thanks to designer Pierre Terblanche's new vision of what Ducati's top-of-the-range superbike should look like. The model was introduced in 2002 as the 999 and 999 S, both of which used the 998cc Testastretta engine of the superseded 998. Today the quirky 999 has its own band of dedicated devotees, and there can be no denying that it represented a major step forward in performance terms over the outgoing 998. This pristine Ducati 999 S was first registered in the UK on 1st May 2018. Said to be immaculate and original, the machine currently displays a total of only 2,590 miles on the odometer and is described by the vendor as in 'out of the box' condition. Last run in March 2023, it comes with its full book pack, including the service history, and a Ducati seat cowl. Four services are recorded; the last (end of 2021) including a change of belts. Keys present.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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Dave DegensDresda-Triumph 8-valve 500cc Racing MotorcycleFrame no. DA7Engine no. DA7•Built for Classic racing in the 1980s/1990s•Very successful•Highly developed specificationDave Degens began racing in 1956 on a BSA Gold Star. After a year racing the 'Goldie', Dave bought an AJS 7R from Twickenham dealer Geoff Monty and raced it with some success, only to have to sell the bike back to Monty when called up for National Service in the Army. Fortunately, Dave had an understanding CO, who allowed him time off to go racing, commencing with an outing at Brands Hatch aboard one of Monty's 350cc Manx Nortons. Dave kept racing Monty's bikes while doing his National Service and began working for him when it was over. In 1963 Dave bought Dresda Autos, formerly a retail outlet for scooters on Putney Bridge Road in Southwest London. By this time he had already built three Tritons. As Dave's business activities began to expand, so did his racing career. By this time he had already built three Tritons. As Dave's business activities began to expand, so did his racing career. He rode for prominent entrants such as Syd Lawton, Paul Dunstall, Tom Arter and Tom Kirby, and it was while riding for Lawton that he enjoyed his first taste of endurance racing success, winning both the 1964 and 1965 Thruxton 500-mile races on a Triumph Bonneville. It was at Barcelona in 1964, when he was riding a works BMW, that Dave conceived the idea of building a machine specifically for endurance racing, which he was convinced would be capable of beating the works prototypes. The result was another Triton. Dave's faith in the project was duly rewarded when he and co-rider Rex Butcher won at Barcelona in 1965, enjoying a trouble-free ride against formidable factory opposition. By this time Syd Lawton had lost faith in the complacent British motorcycle industry and switched allegiance to the Italian Aermacchi company with which his name is forever associated. Dave was surprised to discover that the diminutive pushrod singles handled better than a Manx Norton; so he took the logical next step and built a Norton Featherbed-style frame incorporating Aermacchi geometry: the Dresda had been born. It was on a Dresda-Triumph that he won the Barcelona 24 Horas for the second time, in 1970 with Ian Goddard. Dave then began to wind down his racing activities but returned in the 1980s, competing in Classic events.Dave was immensely successful in Classic racing in the 1980s and 1990s on this very fast Dresda-Triumph 8-valve machine. Specification highlights of this highly developed racer include a Nourish 180-degree crankshaft; new bearings; lightweight valves; bronze combustion chamber hemispheres with squish; electronic ignition; crankcase breather conversion; pressurised oil feed to the rockers; Amal Concentric Mk2 carburettors; five-speed gearbox; belt primary drive; Dresda box-section swinging arm; Smiths 12,000rpm tachometer; and 18' Akront alloy wheel rims. The race fairing is loose/detached but is included in the sale. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning and thus is sold strictly as viewed. It is hoped that supporting documentation will be available at time of sale. Key not required.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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 247
Hagon-Godden Long Track Racing MotorcycleOne of the most successful riders in grass track racing history, Don Godden won several British national championships and in 1969 became European Long Track Champion. A gifted engineer as well as talented rider, he designed and built his own DGS frames for the ubiquitous JAP engine and then – in 1975 – was one of the first to fit the new Weslake four-valve motor. In 1978 he went one step further, manufacturing his own overhead-camshaft four-valve engine - the GR500 - which made it possible to offer complete Godden DGS machines for speedway, grass-track, or long-track racing. Since then, Goddens have won countless races and championships worldwide, including the Speedway World Individual Championship on three occasions (Hans Neilsen in 1986, 1987 and 1989) and the World Long-track Championship twice (Shawn Moran in 1983 and Marcel Gerhard in 1992). This restored Godden-engined Hagon grass-tracker has a Bewley two-speed gearbox. There are no documents with this Lot.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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

As Dave's business activities began to expand, so did his racing career. He rode for prominent entrants such as Sid Lawton, Paul Dunstall, Tom Arter and Tom Kirby, and it was while riding for Lawton that he enjoyed his first taste of endurance racing success, winning both the 1964 and 1965 Thruxton 500-mile races on a Triumph Bonneville. It was at Barcelona in 1964, when he was riding a works BMW, that Dave conceived the idea of building a machine specifically for endurance racing, which he was convinced would be capable of beating the works prototypes. The result was another Triton, its engine tuned for reliability and acceleration out of corners rather than top speed, as the Montjuc circuit was very twisty. Dave's conception was proved right when he and co-rider Rex Butcher won at Barcelona in 1965, enjoying a trouble-free ride against formidable factory opposition. By this time Syd Lawton had lost faith in the complacent British motorcycle industry and switched allegiance to the Italian Aermacchi company with which his name is forever associated. Dave was surprised to discover that the diminutive pushrod singles handled better than a Manx Norton; so he took the logical next step and built a Norton Featherbed-style frame incorporating Aermacchi geometry: the first Dresda had been born. Using the new Dresda frame and a 650cc unitary consruction Triumph engine, in 1970 Dave won at Barcelona for the second time, with Ian Goddard on this occasion, and this versatile chassis would later accommodate all manner of multi-cylinder engines from Japan. Hand built by Dave Degens and raced to victory by him and Ian Goddard in the 1970 Barcelona 24 Horas against the combined might of the British and European factory teams, the historic machine offered here has been featured in numerous motorcycling books and magazines over the years. Notable features include twin Amal Concentric carburettors; 18' Borrani wheel rims; Dresda large capacity glassfibre fuel tank; Krber 10,000rpm tachometer; integral headlamp; and a double-sided eight-cam front brake, believed the only one cast in magnesium rather than aluminium. Dave raced the Dresda-Triumph at the 77th Goodwood Members' Meeting in 2019, and also picked up a 'Best Bike' concours award with it (see photograph on file).

1967 Honda 49cc Z50M 'Monkey Bike'Registration no. KFW 593EFrame no. Z50M-101673Engine no. Z50ME-101258With the launch of the CZ100 in 1960, Honda created the class of motorcycle known as 'Monkey Bikes', so called because of their diminutive stature. They were originally intended for children to ride at amusement parks, and only later did Honda develop a road-going version. The engine was the C100 step-thru moped's reliable four-stroke single, while an ultra-short wheelbase, 5' wheels and a lack of suspension were all features of a machine which, in the case of the folding handlebar version, could be fitted into the boot of a car. The machine offered here is an example of Honda's second 'Monkey Bike' design, the CZ50 (or Z50M), the first road model to be sold in Japan. The Z50M featured the overhead-camshaft engine from the C50 step-thru moped and was made in various forms from 1967 to 1975. This Z50M has belonged to the vendor for approximately 18 years and currently displays a total of 37 miles on the odometer. It is described as in excellent condition apart from a paint chip the fuel tank, and is said to run and ride well.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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Better built, more powerful and more reliable than the majority of contemporary mopeds, while at the same time endowed with handling superior to that of the small-wheeled scooter, the Cub set new sales records for motorcycle production and continues to be immensely popular today. This example is believed to have been owned previously by the elderly vendor's brother, one of seven former keepers (see New Keeper slips on file). A total of 33,026 miles is displayed on the odometer, while the most recent MoT certificate expired on 28th April 2011.

Hagon BSA 441cc Grasstrack Racing Motorcycle ProjectFrame no. none visibleEngine no. B44R 605Alf Hagon was an exponent in both Speedway and Grasstrack racing during the 1950s and 60s, and it seemed a natural step for him to use the experience he gained to manufacture bikes and parts for other riders to use. Hagon made anything from single components to complete machines, for both disciplines, although possibly more for Grasstrack bikes. The project offered here is typical of the machines raced in Grasstrack, which may have been built by an individual using their own engine; in this case a BSA B44 engine (stamped 'Jamie' near the engine number) has been utilised. It was acquired by the vendor some years ago, and whilst the bike has not been used since that time, it has been kept in good, dry storage. No key is required, and there is no documentation for this machine, which is sold strictly for restoration, and buyers should satisfy themselves as to its completeness, or otherwise, and the compatibility of its constituent components.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.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1951 Royal Enfield 346cc Bullet TrialsRegistration no. JSV 176Frame no. G2/19736Engine no. G2/19736•Highly original Royal Enfield Bullet•Used to compete in the Beamish Trial•Magneto was rewound in 2013'By 1948 when every other British factory, excluding Douglas, was still messing around with rigid trials and road machines, Royal Enfield too a giant step forward by scrapping theirs and staking their future on the springer.' – Don Morley, Classic British Trials Bikes.Enfield revived the Bullet name in 1948 for a sensational new '350' sports bike with swinging-arm rear suspension. After the prototypes' successful debut in the 1948 Colmore Cup trial, won by Bill Lomas, the Bullet went on to achieve its first major international success in the ISDT later in the year. Royal Enfield's success in post-war trials owed much to its being first in the field with swinging-arm rear suspension, but arguably more to the talents of works rider Johnny Brittain, ably aided by the likes of Tom Ellis, Jack Stocker, Stan Holmes, Don Evans and his younger brother Pat. Despite early works successes in one-day trials, the springer Bullet was viewed with suspicion by the off-road community and sales were sluggish. Fortunately, Enfield's policy of supporting foreign teams at the ISDT, and the fact that between 1948 and 1956 the Bullet won no fewer than 26 ISDT gold medals, ensured a healthy stream of orders, from foreign customers at least. This highly original Royal Enfield Bullet is recorded in the factory ledger as despatched to Jenkins & Purser in Southampton in December 1951. It is not listed as a trials model, but that does not necessarily mean that it is not (see email printout on file). The machine appears standard and unrestored; the seat is not original but otherwise the cycle parts are what would be expected on a factory-built trials model. Previous owner Tony Barrett's email states that he purchased the machine in April 2012 and that it had been off the road for some 30 years. Some restoration work was carried out by the previous owner, and the colour changed from red to grey. The vendor has used the Enfield to compete in the Beamish Trial among a few other events in the North West. The engine is said to run well, with only a little smoke on cold starts, and sounds healthy with no undue mechanical noise. All gears select as they should. The magneto was rewound in 2013 and is said to produce a healthy spark. Offered with a V5C document.

T120 DW 376•Built specifically for the 1965 Barcelona 24 Hours race•Restored by Dave Degens•Alan Dudley Ward engine•Ridden by Dave at the 2006 Goodwood Festival of SpeedDave Degens started racing in 1956 on a BSA Gold Star.

In 1963 Dave bought Dresda Autos, formerly a retail outlet for scooters on Putney Bridge Road in Southwest London. By this time he had already built three Tritons. As Dave's business activities began to expand, so did his racing career. He rode for prominent entrants such as Syd Lawton, Paul Dunstall, Tom Arter and Tom Kirby, and it was while riding for Lawton that he enjoyed his first taste of endurance racing success, winning both the 1964 and 1965 Thruxton 500-mile races on a Triumph Bonneville.

The result was another Triton, its engine tuned for reliability and acceleration out of corners rather than top speed, as the Montju・ circuit had a lot of hairpin bends. Dave's conception was proved right when he and co-rider Rex Butcher won at Barcelona in 1965, enjoying a trouble-free ride against formidable factory opposition. By this time Syd Lawton had lost faith in the complacent British motorcycle industry and switched allegiance to the Italian Aermacchi company with which his name is forever associated.

Hand built by Dave Degens and raced to victory by him and Rex Butcher in the 1965 Barcelona 24 Horas against the combined might of the British and European factory teams, the machine offered here can be said to have started the Dresda legend. Well known motorcycling journalist John Ebbrell tested this Dresda Triton for Motor Cycle magazine's 19th August 1965 edition, riding it from London to Edinburgh and back (copy available). For the test the Triton carried 'temporary' plates ('EYU 993C'); it was later registered as 'ULP 715F'.In 1968 Dave sold the Barcelona Triton. With the demand for Tritons booming, within a few years he needed a bike to use as a pattern for future machines; he bought a Manx rolling chassis, minus its rear wheel, only to discover that it was his Barcelona winner. In 1965 co-rider Rex Butcher had donated a Manx rear wheel to the project and must have reclaimed it somewhere along the line! Specially built for endurance racing, this Dresda Triton consists of a Manx Norton frame wrapped around a Triumph pre-unit racing engine. The engine currently fitted came from the workshop of renowned tuner Alan Dudley Ward, hence the 'DW' stamping. Other notable features include a duplex primary chain conversion; Triumph close-ratio gear set; an additional battery; breather to the primary drive cover; twin Amal GP carburettors; Lucas competition magneto; 19' alloy wheel rims (Dunlop front, Borrani rear); large capacity alloy fuel tank; and a Smiths 10,000rpm tachometer. Dave rode the completed Dresda Triton at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2006. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning and thus is sold strictly as viewed. It is hoped that supporting documentation will be available at time of sale. Key not required.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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c. 1963 Honda 50cc CZ100 'Monkey Bike'Registration no. not registeredFrame no. S00995Engine no. C100E-64545With the launch of the CZ100 in 1960, Honda created the class of machine known as 'Monkey Bikes', so called because of their diminutive stature. The power unit was the C100 step-thru's reliable overhead-valve four-stroke single that incorporated a three-speed gearbox with automatic clutch. An ultra-short wheelbase, small wheels, and a vestigial fuel tank were all features of a machine which, in the case of the folding handlebar version, could fit into the boot of a car. Immensely popular as paddock transport the world over, they are currently much in vogue.This early Monkey Bike was purchased by the current vendor 10 years ago in its present condition. We are advised by the vendor that the machine is fully serviced and that it runs very well, although it has only been used for display purposes in the owner's kitchen and may therefore require recommissioning before being ridden.

Dalí's Rooms Fifty Years From Now. In the Doorways of an Apartment These Curtains Will Be Hung to Warn a Person of the Fate That May Await in the Next Room.

News, 21 February 1937; Birmingham (ALA.) News-Age, 21 February 1937; Tulsa (OKLA.) Tribune, 21 February 1937).Exh. cat., Dalí, Paris, 2012 (illustrated p. 252).Rideau-chevelure semi-humain séparé par une fermeture éclair presents a rectangular doorway, entrance through which must be made through a zippered curtain of flowing hair. The hard vertical and horizontal ink strokes forming the flooring, skirting and architrave juxtapose sharply with the organic waves of hair which drape gently to the floor. Drawn circa 1937, the work is closely related to Dalí's magnificent oil and collage work, Singularitats of 1935-1936 – which was featured on the front cover of the catalogue for the 2022 exhibition Salvador Dalí: Myth and Singularity at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens. The finished composition picks out features in blood-red pigment against an inky black background and shows the curtained doorway of the present work to the left of an eerie landscape. Here, the door is situated on a small box-like red building, a certain faded elegance recalled by a triangular pediment and cracking exterior. The zip and curtains of hair conjure obvious sexual overtones, as does the intrigue of what is to be found within the box, guarded by a feathery silhouette to the right, and a flamboyant, goddess-like woman to the foreground.The concept of the door as a sexual gateway was revisited by Dalí in 1939 when he constructed the Dream of Venus installation at the New York World's Fair, transforming the pavilion into an erotic funhouse which was entered through a monumental pair of gartered legs. Dalí explored the use of different materials in the 1930s to enhance the erotic associations of an artwork, believing, in Dawn Ades' opinion, that 'the erotic can find expression in a variety of ways, most obviously via the gaze and the touch. The object as incarnation of desire is realised in, for instance, the fur pom-poms on Dalí's Venus de Milo with Drawers' (D. Ades, 'Eroticism', in Dalí/Duchamp, exh. cat., London, 2017, p. 108). Created in 1936, Dalí's version of the famous Venus de Milo was provocatively adorned with tactile mink tufts to her forehead, bare breasts, stomach, and uncovered knee.It is thought that the artist was a virgin when he first met his wife at the age of 25 ('until Gala entered his life, Dalí was clearly afraid of young women, with the fear of fascination' – R. Descharnes & G. Néret, Salvador Dalí, The Paintings, Vol. I, 1904-1946, Cologne, 2007, p. 70) and was rumoured to prefer masturbation or voyeurism more than the act of consummation. A fixation with sexuality played out across his oeuvre, noticeably in the late 1920s-1930s, a period which spawned controversial works such as Le grand masturbateur (1929) – Dalí's 'main obsession at that time can best be termed desire' (ibid, p. 145).The Mae West Room in the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres (opened in 1974) revisits the idea of hair as curtain. Dalí constructed an apartment with the help of designer Òscar Tusequets, which, when viewed through a reducing lens, conjured the face of the Hollywood film star. Her out-scale hair was lavishly arranged to form a grand theatre-like curtain, framing the tableau formed by the furniture and paintings beyond. The concept came from the artist's collage of 1934-1935, Le visage de Mae West qui peut être utilisé comme appartement surréaliste, whose curtain-like hair and red tones echo elements of Singularitats.The present work was executed in the midst of Dalí's most successful years, following his marriage to Gala in 1934 and his celebrated debut in New York. During his trip to the US in 1934, Dalí held six solo exhibitions and delivered a lecture at MoMA. He embraced his fame, going out of his way to court publicity: 'Dalí liked going into drugstores with an immense loaf tucked under his arm, ordering fried eggs, and then eating them with a small piece of bread cut off the loaf – to the great amusement of anyone who happened to be there at the time [...] Before they departed, Caresse Crosby threw a Dream Ball in Dalí's honour. The Americans vied to out-Dalí each other. Dalí confessed that even he (who was so rarely impressed by anything) was astounded by the riotousness of the ball at the 'Coq Rouge'' (op. cit, p. 235).Despite his individual success, Dalí maintained a dialogue with his fellow Surrealists, most notably René Magritte, whose 1966 sketch Le Viol ('The Rape') undoubtedly echoes the present work. The composition by the same name to which it refers was painted in 1934, preceding Dalí's Singularitats, and depicts a female face formed by her torso, a triangle of pubic hair taking the place of her mouth, the whole framed by her auburn hair. When the painting was exhibited at the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles in the year of its execution, it was deliberately excluded from the exhibition catalogue and displayed behind a velvet curtain, in an area reserved for adults only. The portrait is believed to allude to the artist's mother's tragic suicide by drowning when Magritte was just fourteen – she was discovered with her face veiled by her gown, her naked body exposed. The peep-show nature of the presentation of Le Viol in 1934 leads us to question what is behind the curtain in the present work, shown to be the portal to a red booth in the larger composition. Eroticism was intrinsically linked with danger and uncertainty for Dalí, as the enticement of sexual promise in Singularitats is threatened by the eerie setting, filled with unknown and inexplicable objects. An animate object is draped in red cloth to the lower left, while the Dalínian clock melts to the lower right, and the faceless female figure morphs into foliage. Choosing to focus solely on the curtained doorway in Rideau-chevelure semi-humain séparé par une fermeture éclair, Dalí invites the viewer to step through to an alluring unknown.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A superb Victorian emerald and diamond bangle, circa 1860, claw-set with a step-cut emerald weighing 5.66 carats, within a radiating cluster of circular-cut diamonds, mounted in silver and gold, detaching from the bangle to be worn as a pendant, total diamond weight approximately 10.00 carats, pendant length 3.9cm, bangle inner circumference 16.6cm Accompanied by SSEF report number 125424, dated 21st November 2022, stating that the emerald weighing 5.669 carats is of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement Provenance: Lord Lucius O’Brien, 15th Baron Inchiquin (1864-1929) and Ethel Lady Inchiquin, thence by decent Baron Inchiquin is one of the oldest titles in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1543 for Murrough O’Brien, Prince of Thormond who was descended from the great high king Brian Boru. Condition report: Overall in very good condition, with only minor wear. Detailed report below: A superb emerald of excellent colour and saturation (SSEF ‘green of medium strong saturation’), stronger and more vivid in colour than the catalogue photography can convey. Generally in very good condition, with minor chips to crown facets, and one additional minor chip to one corner, hidden by claw when in setting, and areas of minor abrasions to facet edges consistent with age and occasional wear. The stone appears clean, with few obvious inclusions – the most obvious is a line of fluid-filled inclusions running diagonally from the edge of the table to the girdle on one side, which is only visible at certain angles, and still a minor inclusion overall. Where the inclusions are surface-reaching, the fissures are insignificant and only visible under close magnification. Overall the stone is exceptionally clean and attractive, with a well-proportioned cut. SSEF states ‘No indications of clarity modification in fissures at the time of testing’, in their report dated to November 2022. Please note that according to LMHC standards (used by SSEF and several other major laboratories), this prestigious clarity grade can encompass a very small amount of remaining oil residue, which is possible in historic stones such as the present lot. The diamonds are well-matched and bright, totalling approximately 10.00 carats. In our specialists’ opinion, the diamonds are approximately as follows, proceeding clockwise from the fixed pendant loop: 1.60cts, H/I SI2; 0.90cts, G/H SI (abraded girdle); 1.30cts H/I SI1/2; 0.95 H/I SI1/2; 1.70cts H/I VS; 1.10cts H/I, SI2; 1.25cts G/H I1 (small black mark just on table) 0.85cts, H/I SI2, with mostly medium fluorescence. Settings secure, claws in good condition. One claw to one outer diamond bent outwards and away from the diamond, visible in the catalogue image, which would benefit from a jeweller’s attention. The central element detaching and reattaching to the bangle securely. The bangle is in good condition, closing securely. Please note that the date of the jewel is circa 1890, and not as stated in the print catalogue. Gross weight of central element 13.9 grams, of bangle 22 grams.
