The ex-Les Graham, Swiss Grand Prix-winning 1948 Velocette 348cc KTT MkVIII Racing MotorcycleFrame no. SF 121Engine no. KTT 973•Originally owned and prepared by Reg Dearden•Raced by Les Graham throughout the 1951 season and into 1952•Known ownership history•Present ownership since 2005•Last run in 2012•Kept on museum display for the last 10 yearsWith its deep petrol tank, massively finned overhead-cam engine and purposeful appearance, the MkVIII KTT is unquestionably one of the most beautiful racing motorcycles ever made. The talking point of Velocette's new racer on its introduction in 1939 was swinging-arm rear suspension, an innovation first seen on the works bikes in 1936. By now tried and tested, the Velocette rear suspension comprised a pivoting fork made from tapered tubing and complemented by a pair of Dowty Oleomatic air-sprung struts. The rest of the cycle parts remained much as those of the rigid-framed MkVII. The engine, while basically the same as its predecessor's, incorporated a number of improvements intended to enhance power and reliability, and despite the springer's increase in weight over the rigid model, its superior performance and excellent handling made the MkVIII KTT a formidable competitor. Despite its pre-war origins, the MkVIII KTT proved good enough to provide Freddie Frith and Velocette with the 350cc World Championship in 1949, a year in which he won every Championship round, though in most cases courtesy of a special works twin-cam engine. Just 49 MkVIIIs were constructed prior to WW2 and a further 189 up to the end of production in 1950. Today the MkVIII KTT is one of the most sought after of all British racing motorcycles. Previously believed lost, the 1948 example offered here is Les Graham's Swiss Grand Prix-winning machine. Factory records show that this machine - engine number '973', frame number 'SF 121' - was sold new on 21st May 1948 to Fearnly's, a dealership in Manchester. Despite passing through a number of hands, it has remained in the North West of England for almost its entire life. Born in Wallasey, Cheshire in 1911, Les Graham began his racing career in the late 1920s but it was not until the late 1930s that a succession of good results on a home-prepared OK-Supreme got him noticed, leading to a job with the company. During WW2 Les Graham flew Lancaster bombers and was awarded the DFC. De-mobbed in 1946, he was approached by fellow racer and ex-RAF man, Wing Commander J M 'Jock' West, who offered him a job at Associated Motor Cycles that included riding the new AJS 'Porcupine' and 7R. After a difficult 1948 season bedevilled by unreliability and handling problems, Les won the first ever 500cc World Championship in 1949 aboard the improved Porcupine. He continued with AJS for 1950, finishing third in both the 350cc and 500cc World Championships, and at the season's end was offered a contract by MV Agusta. The Italian team was not contesting the 350cc class at that time, so for '51 Les used what was still, despite its age, one of the most competitive Junior-class mounts: the Velocette KTT. Riding the Velo, Les achieved good results at Mettet and Floreffe and finished 2nd at the Spanish Grand Prix, before triumphing over treacherously wet conditions to win the Swiss Grand Prix at Berne's Bremgarten Forest circuit. Les went on to win many more 350cc races in the 1951 season and the prize money the little Velo netted him was in excess of £5,000 (approximately £165,000 today). A further two Grand Prix wins in 1952 saw Les finish 2nd in the 500cc World Championship that year while he continued to race the KTT in the Junior class. In 1953, Les finally broke his Isle of Man TT 'duck', winning the Lightweight 125cc race for MV. Sadly, he was killed during the Senior event later in the week (see Classic Motorcycling Legends No. 6 'The Les Graham Story'). Les Graham's Swiss GP-winning KTT was owned by Manchester-based tuner/entrant Reg Dearden during the whole time that it was ridden by Les, and indeed was built by Reg specifically for Les to use in the 1951 season as his contract with MV was only for a 500cc ride. The bike proved to be extremely quick following modifications designed and made by Reg, to such an extent that Bertie Goodman (of Velocette) asked if he could take the engine for bench testing. This they did but not before Reg had replaced the special cylinder head with a standard one! Bertie could not understand why it was so quick, as it only produced a couple more brake horsepower than their factory models. Needless to say the secret was in the valve train!As far as Reg Dearden's son Nigel is aware, the only other person to ride the KTT after Les Graham's death was another of Reg's many riders, George Costain. Interviewed in Classic Motorcycling Legends (Issue 2), George Costain recalled riding it in the Southern 100. The KTT remained in Reg Dearden's hands until he sold it to Lancashire-based collector of classic racing motorcycles, Eric Biddle, circa 1968 (four years before Reg's death) on the understanding that Eric was to restore the machine and if it was ever offered for sale Reg would repurchase it. Sadly, this did not happen as Reg died in January 1972. As pictured in the catalogue, the bike is somewhat different from how it was when purchased by Eric Biddle. Notably, the front mudguard had two light alloy valances riveted onto each side to stop spray, and the seat was a one-piece affair, made by Les himself, with a rough hide top to stop him sliding about on it in the rain. On 9th March 1985, Eric Biddle sold the ex-Les Graham KTT to the late John Logan Thompson. John Logan Thompson's personal logbook records work carried out after acquisition, including re-bushing and repainting the forks, and fitting new head races, front/rear mudguards and exhaust system. As far as is known, the machine was not used while in John Logan Thompson's ownership. The current vendor - ex-patriot American, well-known classic racer and former podium finisher in the 125cc World Championship, Robert Lusk - purchased the ex-Les Graham KTT when the J L Thompson Collection was sold at Bonhams' Stafford Sale in October 2005 (Lot 381). The KTT was immediately despatched to Velocette guru Ivan Rhodes for re-commissioning to race-worthy condition, and then actively campaigned by Robert and his friend, Peter Crew. A formidable competitor, Crew rode the 350cc KTT to respectable finishes against 500cc opposition in the 2006 and 2007 Goodwood Revival Meetings, only for the gearbox to fail in 2008 when the Velo was being shared by Robert and his son Chester, himself also a former 125 GP racer. Peter Crew found a suitable replacement gearbox and the rebuilt KTT was ridden by the late Colin Seeley at the Festival of 1000 Bikes at Mallory Park in August 2010, featuring on the front page of Old Bike Mart. Robert continued to race the Velo at CRMC meetings for the next few years before deciding to retire the machine from active competition while it was still in good condition. Displayed at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in 2010, the KTT last ran in 2012 at the CRMC's Donington Park meeting and since then has been kept on static display in the vendor's private museum; re-commissioning will be required before further use. Accompanying documentation includes various photographs (some copies showing the KTT racing in period); the two aforementioned copies of CML; and Peter Crew's maintenance, race settings and results logbook for 2006/2007 (Mallory Park, Oulton Park, Brands Hatch, Goodwood FoS, Lydden Hill, Donington Park, Goodwood Revival). By time of sale the KTT will have featured in Classic Racer magazine's March/April 2022 edition in an article by Alan Cathcart.Velocette MkVIII KTTs with important race history rarely come to market, so this Gra...

Ex-Reg Barton, Dick Knight 1929 Brough Superior 996cc SS100 'Alpine Grand Sport' Sprint SpecialRegistration no. EY 3601Frame no. S1000 (see text)Engine no. JTOR/D 13560•Ex-Eric Fernihough Brooklands engine•Sprinted, raced and hill-climbed by Messrs Barton and Knight•Purchased by its late owner in 1979•Offered for sympathetic restorationIntroduced in 1922, the JAP-powered SS80 achieved instant fame when a racing version ridden by George became the first sidevalve-engined machine to lap Brooklands at over 100mph. With the new SS80's performance threatening to put the overhead-valve MkI in the shade, it was decided to completely redesign the latter. The result was the legendary SS100. First shown to the public in 1924, the SS100 employed an entirely new overhead-valve 980cc JAP v-twin engine. A frame of duplex cradle type was devised for the newcomer, which soon after its launch became available with the distinctive, Harley-Davidson-influenced, Castle front fork patented by George Brough and Harold 'Oily' Karslake. And just in case prospective customers had any doubts about the SS100's performance, each machine came with a written guarantee that it had been timed at over 100mph for a quarter of a mile - a staggering achievement at a time when very few road vehicles of any sort were capable of reaching three-figure speeds. With this level of performance available in road trim, it was only to be expected that the SS100 would make an impact on the race track, particularly the ultra-fast Brooklands oval, and the exploits of Brough Superior riders - among them Le Vack, Temple, Baragwanath, Fernihough and Pope - did much to burnish the marque's image. When Brooklands closed forever at the outbreak of WW2, Noel Pope's Brough Superior held both the sidecar and solo lap records, the latter at an average speed of 124.51mph. Success in an altogether different branch of motorcycle sport resulted in one of Brough's most iconic models: the SS100 'Alpine Grand Sports' or 'AGS'. Introduced in September 1925 for the 1926 season, this new machine took its name from the Austrian Alpine Trial, the 1925 event having been contested by a number of SS100s, one ridden by George Brough himself, resulting in the award of six cups, including one for 'Best Performance'. The introduction of the Alpine Grand Sports coincided with that of a new frame for the SS100, and the AGS came as standard with a lower compression ratio (making it more suitable for touring), a small fly-screen and a pair of tool boxes. Brough entered the 1930s with an entirely JAP-powered range and then in 1936 the SS100 was redesigned with an engine built by Associated Motor Cycles, in which form it continued until production ceased in 1939. Lighter and faster than the subsequent Matchless-engined version, the JAP-powered SS100 has long been regarded as the ultimate incarnation of this famous model. This particular SS100 - frame number 'S1000' - was despatched on 1st May 1929 complete with the spring frame, Castle forks and a two-seater sidecar, as recorded on the accompanying copy of its Works Record Card. The machine was supplied to R Evans & Sons and registered on Anglesey as 'EY 3601'. Frame number 'S1000' is a very clear factory stamping but the final two 00s appear to be over-stamped, possibly reflecting the fact that the frame had been returned to the factory and then reissued. Although the frame number is recorded in the HPI database as 'S1060', this is clearly a clerical error resulting from a misreading of the old RF.60 continuation logbook. Issued in July 1956, the logbook records regular licensing in Kent up to March 1959. The first name in the RF.60 is that of Reginald Barton of Farnborough, Kent, who registered the Brough on 22nd July 1952. Well-known motorcycling journalist John Griffith wrote an article about Reg Barton and his Broughs for Motor Cycling's 30th January 1958 edition (copy on file). There is also an old V5 on file. (The registration 'EY 3601' is recorded in the DVLA and HPI databases; nevertheless, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding.)The next owner listed in the RF.60 is Richard ('Dick') Knight, the well-known Brough Superior exponent and former Club President, who acquired 'EY 3601' in September 1975 and is believed to have rebuilt the machine in its present form. Engine 'JTOR/D 43560' is not ex-Brough but would have been manufactured in 1934 (finished Broughs with near numbers were ex-works in January I935). The engine is stamped 'Supplied by Fernihough Brooklands'. An old report in the Brough Club files states that the remains of the original engine ('33390') may have been with Dick Knight in the 1960s. The SS100 still has its original gearbox ('SB 192'), its original tank ('2027', detached) and its original Brough front numberplate. Modified by Dick Knight, 'EY 3601' was raced and sprinted extensively but with a 1930 SS100 engine (since reunited with its original frame) installed, and once achieved a speed of 122mph in a British National Sprint. An article about Dick Knight and his Brough Superiors was published in Superbike magazine's April 1979 edition (copy on file). The Brough later passed to Dick's son William and then, via dealer John Coleman, to the late Richard Gulvin in May 1979 (sales receipt on file). 'EY 3601' was in running order when acquired and Richard rode it in various Brough Superior Club events. In a letter on file, Richard Gulvin states that the engine came fitted with a set of Dick Knight's racing 'Brooklands' cams, reiterating: 'The engine is definitely a Fernihough Brooklands racing engine as prepared by Mr Dick Knight.' It is to be hoped that the fortunate next owner resists the temptation to restore 'EY 3601' to factory specification, as this wonderful old warhorse, which has been used competitively for most of its life, deserves to have its battle scars respected and preserved.
