Registration - NAU 521EChassis No. - 1A31512BWM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 20,000This stately Daimler 4.2 Sovereign is presented in eye-catching red paintwork, over black leather interior with red piping and wooden veneer dashboard. The spacious saloon uses Jaguar’s 4.2-litre straight-six XK engine, mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. It has been extensively restored by the current owner, who has spent around £30,000 over the course of their ownership of ‘NAU 521E’, bringing the Daimler back to its former glory. This includes stripping everything out and sending the bodyshell to a professional garage to for renovations, including new brakes fitted and a stainless-steel exhaust. The undersides and engine bay have been resprayed three years ago, the roof refurbished by RS Sunroofs in Kent, and a new leather interior installed.Bought by the current keeper eight years ago, ‘NAU 521E’ was originally sold through Stratstone’s London dealership in 1967 – initially painted cream – but was then sold to a customer of H.R. Owen in London in 1970 and shipped to America, where it stayed for the next 40 years. Not much is known of its time across the Atlantic, though the vendor has receipts of work from both Tuscon, Arizona and Cape Arago, Oregon. It was repatriated in 2014, where an MOT the following year records 73,000 miles on the clock; the odometer now reads 20,000 miles. Included is a large file of invoices and the original handbook, as well as the toolbox. The seller describes all areas of the vehicle – transmission, bodywork, paintwork, electrics, and interior – as ‘good’ though the engine is rated as ‘excellent’. Daimler and Jaguar’s 420/Sovereign was introduced in 1966, and was a development of the S-Type – itself a development of the Mk II saloon. Daimler’s offering was pitched at the more luxurious end of the market, in keeping with the brand’s positioning at the time, with Jaguar the sportier, more aggressive of the two manufacturers. As such, although mechanically the cars were identical, both featuring Jaguar’s 4.2-litre XK straight six unit, the details were tweaked, such as Daimler’s ‘D’ icon used in place of Jaguar’s cat motifs, a fluted grille surround, and higher specifications of wood veneer and leather used. Production of the Jaguar ended in 1968, while Daimler production halted mid-1969. · Rare opportunity to own Daimler’s take on Jaguar’s large 1960s sports saloon.· Comprehensively refurbished over the last eight years.· Large folder of paperwork covering work carried out, and original handbook.

c.1956 MV Agusta ProjectRegistration no. UnregisteredFrame no. 633537Engine no. 632847Disappointed by the poor sales of its 1960 line-up, which featured a trio of newcomers with engines displacing 99, 235 and 300cc, MV Agusta returned to the more traditional capacity classes for 1961, launching the all-new Centomila in 125 and 150cc variants. They were powered by an overhead-valve four-stroke single built in unit with a four-speed gearbox, which went into MV's familiar set of lightweight cycle parts. Like their larger siblings, the small MVs were very expensive - typically costing almost as much as a British 500 in the UK - which explains why so few of these exquisitely engineered little bikes were sold in this country.Believed to date from circa 1956, this MV Agusta project is believed to be a 125cc model. Offered dismantled and incomplete, this rewarding project comprises a frame, engine, headlamp, speedometer, petrol tank, dual seat, toolbox, mudguards, hubs, wheel rims, and sundry parts. Its condition and completeness is unknown, and is therefore offered strictly as viewed.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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 20 April starting at 11am GMT.'Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: â—Šâ—Šâ—Šâ—Šâ—Šâ—Š Requires specialist shipping and storage at the buyer's expenseFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1928 Harley Davidson 1207cc model JDRegistration no. to be advised (see text)Frame no. 28JD7791Engine no. 28JD7791•Believed to have been supplied new in New Zealand•Imported c.2010•Offered with a NOVA confirmation1909 marked the appearance of Harley-Davidson's first v-twin, though it was not until the adoption of mechanically operated inlet valves in 1911 (replacing the 'atmospheric' type inherited from the single) that production really took off. Known by the sobriquet 'pocket valve', this 'F-head' (inlet-over-exhaust) engine - built in 61ci and 74ci capacities (1,000cc and 1,200cc respectively) - would remain in production for the next 20 years. The Harley single's transmission arrangements - direct drive by means of a leather belt - were continued at first on the twin, but the need to make better use of the engine's power characteristics, particularly for sidecar pulling, prompted the introduction of a two-speed rear hub for 1914, by which time chain drive and a proper clutch had been adopted. Later that same year a conventional, three-speed, sliding-gear transmission with 'step starter' was introduced on the top-of-the-range version of the twin which, with full electrical equipment, was listed from now on as the Model JD. Periodically revised and up-dated, the Model J had gained a front brake, stronger fork and pumped lubrication by the time production ceased in 1929. We are told that this lovely model JD was supplied new in New Zealand to Roy Tomlin. In 1984 he sold it to the vendor's uncle. In 2010 it was sold to the vendor who imported it to the UK. Recommissioning was put on hold due to the demands of building of a light aeroplane, but was recommenced in 2023. Work has included fitting a new battery, condenser, and a new exhaust system supplied by Geloman, the renowned H-D specialist in Germany. The old rusted out (believed not original) exhaust is supplied. A video of the machine running in February of this year is available on request. It has not been ridden for many years, and further adjustments may possibly be required.Until now the bike has not been registered in the UK, but a new V5C should be in place by the time of the sale. An old New Zealand registration document, other NZ paperwork, a dating certificate from the Antique Motorcycle Club of America (Europe), reproduction handbooks, and sundry spares including new reproduction footboard rubbers are supplied. The vendor advises us that the machine is fitted with sidecar gearing but he believes that a sidecar has never been fitted. He has also pointed out that the linkage for the parking brake is missing but that it isn't necessary for solo use. Separate keys are supplied for the ignition, lights, and toolbox. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Sold strictly as viewed.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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
