The pre-war Series A Rapide offered a level of performance unrivalled by the vast majority of its peers, however the vee-twin engine configuration resulted in a long wheelbase endowing the machine with slow, albeit stable, handling. The Stevenage based company promised a revised model in their wartime advertising which would address this issue together with the cluttered appearance of the engine due to the external oil lines that gave it the "plumber's nightmare" nickname. The result was promised to be fast, capable of cruising at 100mph, with exemplary handling and braking, a high degree of rider comfort and easy maintenance. The solutions adopted in order to achieve these aims were radical. The full cradle frame was discarded, with the engine becoming an integral part of the machine. A fabricated oil tank incorporated the headstock mounting to the engine. At the rear of the engine brackets provided pick up points for the cantilever suspension system. Brampton girder forks were employed at the front, although their limitations were recognised and their subsequent replacement by Girdraulic units defined the Series C variants. A gearbox built in unit with the engine further aided the reduction in wheelbase in comparison to the Series A machines. The lubrication system for the engine was refined improving the appearance of the unit and aids to maintenance were incorporated into the design such as wheels that could be removed without the aid of tools. Twin drum brakes were employed on both wheels endowing it with exceptional braking distances. That they largely achieved their aims is now a matter of historical record, although it was not until the Series C models arrived with the Girdraulic front forks that the two engineers were entirely satisfied. LKF 807, a Series C Rapide, has been in the same owner's possession since 1972, who is thought to be only the second keeper of the machine. It is offered in complete, original unrestored condition with "matching" numbers, including the crankcases which are stamped JJ60 and is fitted with two "front cylinder heads and is offered with an original log book.
Lot 2057
One the many smaller Italian motorcycle manufacturers to emerge during Italy's post-war motorcycle boom, Mi-Val origins lay in the manufacture of machine tools with motorcycle production commencing in 1950 and continuing into the late sixties when they returned to their core business. They became a licensed producer of the Messerschmitt "bubble car" which was fitted with an engine of their own manufacture, but are perhaps best known for their participation in off road motorcycle competition, fielding a team in the 1950 ISDT that included Eric Oliver and Olga Kevelos. This pretty little example of their road bike production has, until recently formed part of a private collection in Italy. The vendor describes it as being in "good" condition with regard to the engine, transmission, electrics and cycle parts having benefitted from a partial restoration which has seen the brightwork and paintwork returned to very good condition with the exception of the fuel tank which retains its original paint and decals. It is offered with an original logbook.

Tokyo Hatsudoki Co. Ltd., a company formed in 1939, emerged from the Second World War with the majority of its manufacturing facilities intact but its largest client, the Japanese armed forces, disbanded. Like many of its rivals it turned to motorcycle production concentrating on lightweight two stroke machines. By the early sixties the company accounted for 3% of the indigenous market and sought to expand into overseas markets using competition as a springboard. Their first road racing model was a 50cc followed rapidly by a 125cc twin, however neither model proved to be truly competitive and were followed in 1962 by a twin cylinder 50cc racer and a heavily revised 125cc twin. Success followed for the firm with Dave Simmonds achieving a large degree of success, however, just as the company was set to establish a works team, it was declared bankrupt. Production stopped and the remaining stocks of parts, jigs and tools were sold to the Japan Racing Motorcycles Company. Dave Simmonds continued to campaign the machines with success until 1966 when he switched to Kawasaki and in the same year a small number of 125cc racers were imported by Wallingford dealer Jim Pink selling for £550. Essentially 1964 specification machines they continued to meet with success at National level. The machine offered, a 125cc Twin has a known history from its despatch from the factory in Japan to the present day. It was collected from Tilbury Docks by its first owner, Pete Casey, who subsequently sold it Dennis Ritchins, before it passed to Rod Skivier. Mr Skivier removed the Tohatsu engine and installed a race kitted Yamaha AS1 engine with which he had great success attaining a top ten finish in a John Player racer at Silverstone in the early seventies. The machine was purchased by the present owner from Rod Skivier, still with the Yamaha power plant, racing it for a while before selling it on. Approximately 4 years later the vendor once again acquired the motorcycle and set about sourcing a Tohatsu engine to return the machine to original specification. His search eventually succeeded, with an engine being located, which, when he went to collect it, was informed, had come out of Rod Skivier's Tohatsu, a happy coincidence that saw the machine returned to an unexpected level of originality! The engine was completely rebuilt, with new bearings, seal, connecting rods and pistons being fitted and has only been run for 2 to 3 minutes since being reunited with the cycle parts which are described as being ibn good condition. The vendor reports that the engine has excellent compression and that the only non-original items fitted are the rear shock absorbers.
Lot 4004
- Current ownership since 1997 and 128,000 recorded miles - Offered with both hard- and soft-top roofs - Engine, paintwork and interior rated as 'very good' Further Info: This particular right-hand drive R107-Series SL hails from 1985 and is finished in Smoke Silver and trimmed in Brazil Tex. It has remained in the current ownership since 1997 and, though apparently little used in the last five years, has been greatly enjoyed and currently displays an unwarranted 127,854 miles. The vendor primarily purchased the car for continental touring, which it has evidently achieved without problem. Over time the fuel injection system has been thoroughly refurbished with new injectors, the radiator re-cored, the exhaust system overhauled, and aftermarket draught excluders installed. A woodrim steering wheel has been fitted, but the original comes with the car, as do: a factory-fitted hardtop, plus all the original tools, first aid kit etc. The vendor currently views the V8 engine and automatic transmission as `excellent' and the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as `very good' and notes that `B713 KRD' drives `very well' on its Goodyear tyres.
