Registration No: MRE 3B Frame No: PJ 175 MOT: ExemptGood provenance No reserveFrom a deceased estateUnderstood to be in excellent condition with V5CDawson’s Motors Wolverhampton commenced production of a range of Villiers-powered lightweights in 1950 in Sedgely. The firm built its first competition models in 1952 and introduced a scrambler a couple of years later. A scooter, the 98cc Bambi, had been added to the range by 1960, but DMW’s next offering in this category would be more unusual. First seen in 1961, the Deemster was intended to combine the riding position and handling characteristics of a conventional motorcycle with scooter-type weather protection and enclosure. The Deemster’s twin-cylinder Villiers 250cc 2T engine was located centrally, in the motorcycle position, while the interchangeable wheels were 12” in diameter. Suspension was by leading-link fork at the front, with rubber ‘spring’ and single hydraulic damper, and by swinging arm at the rear. The frame was made up from a combination of round and square-section tubing to which a large box fabricated box was attached, supporting the seat and rear dampers while providing sufficient luggage space to accommodate two crash helmets. With its tall screen, twin headlamps, generously sized leg shields and voluminous front mudguard, the Deemster was certainly eye-catching. Only 350 were produced and a police version proved the bulk of these sales with around 250 sold to police fleets.This scooter’s known history from new starts when Staffordshire Police purchased eight of these machines registered MRE 1B through to MRE 8B. First registration is stated as 1st August 1964, as confirmed by the accompanying old style blue log book The original rider assigned was Constable Frederick Fox and we have learned that Fred was so attached to the machine that when it was retired from service he bought it. He later donated it to the Staffordshire Police museum which, in 2002, released it onto the market when it was purchased by our vendor though he never used it. The scooter is complete and appears to be in exceptionally good original condition having been stored with a coating of grease which has even preserved all rubbers. No attempt was made to start it upon inspection but we observed that the engine turns freely. Offered with current V5C, original tools, users handbooks and a workshop manual for the Villers engine.

Registration No: 429 XVM Frame No: 45485 MOT: ExemptRare Italian Sports 125 two-stroke singlePresented in authentically restored conditionRun recently, supplied with a current V5CMi-Val was an Italian manufacturer formed in the early 1950s when a group of businessmen from Bologna purchased the Gardonese Pietro Beretta arms factory and began producing their own range of lightweight motorcycles. Like many other small capacity bikes at the time, including the BSA Bantam and even early Yamahas, their design was heavily influenced by the pre-war German DKW RT 125. The 125cc engine was designed by the engineer Adriano Amadori, the frame by Carlo Ronzani and the suspension by Luigi Bonazzi beginning 20 years of success in sales and competition until motorcycle production ceased in the late 1960s when Mi-Val became part of the Beretta group, producing machine tools. The company also a made under licence copy of the Messerschmitt three-wheeler for the Italian market. This rare and beautiful little Mi-Val Sports Gobbetto 125 is being offered with 'no reserve'. Gobbetto is the Italian for Hunchback, a name given to it due to the shape of the fuel tank. The Sports model was a typically stylish small capacity bike that was very popular in Italian road races in the 1950s featuring a two-stroke motor, alloy wheel rims and flat handlebars. To allow the rider to get down out of the breeze for maximum speed, that distinctive fuel tank is topped off with an upholstered pad to rest on. Restored in 2018, it has been run recently and comes supplied with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: ZAPM5010000006557 MOT: NoneOnly 1km recorded as it has only ever been pushed Never used or had any fuel in itHugely collectible clean VespaA great rare opportunityThe Vespa P range was launched in 1977 in Milan as the nuova linea model (new line). A hugely successful model for Piaggio for almost 40 years. The P range now stands as the last ‘classic’ Vespa range produced. With a newly designed and more angular chassis than all that had preceded it, it soon had integral indicators, electronic ignition and a much larger headlight than the Rally, the range it superseded. Several versions came and went and upgrades over the years included 12v electronics, automatic fuel mix, lockable side panels and disc brakes. But the end of the line was near with Euro 3 compliance standards ramping up against 2-stroke motorcycles and a catalytic converter was added from 2010 to prolong the life of the range. However, this wasn’t enough and production of the PX ended completely in early 2017 as the engine would fail to meet Euro 4 compliance emission requirements. This ‘new’ late edition model in Piaggio ‘Midnight Blue’ is completely as it came out of the factory. We do not believe it has ever had fuel in it as the tank was spotless clean and dry. It was purchased by our vendor from a local car auction and no details or documents were provided with it. We have since done our own investigations and have concluded it is a British market Vespa due to the side mirrors script and the presence of the UK size registration plate holder which was still in its original packaging. We have also conducted a HPI check based on the chassis and the machine comes up with no reported misdemeanours on the system. The mystery may never be solved but this is a quite unrepeatable and extraordinary find. We note that even the bar code and factory control stickers are still present as is the protective film over the leg shield protectors. It comes with the full brand new owner's pack complete with tools, manuals, guarantee books and keys. No attempt has been made to start it!

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 1227 MOT: ExemptRecently removed from storage after 25 yearsA rare historical Pioneer machineOffered with a Pioneer CertificateComplete with two RF60 logbooksAbingdon Motorcycles was a British motorcycle manufacturer in Tyseley, Birmingham between 1903 and 1925. It was renamed AKD (Abingdon King Dick) in 1926 and produced single cylinder motorcycles until 1933, when they concentrated on "King Dick" mechanics' tools. On offer is a 1911 AKD (Abingdon King Dick) motorcycle from the early Pioneer days, that has just emerged as a shed find where it has been for the last 25 years. Purchased by the current vendor in 2003 from a well-known dealer of the time and stored ever since. The machine belonged to a Mr Dan Basset in c.1960 and is when the machine wore its last registration number 'SAP 729', a number no longer assigned to the motorcycle. The AKD is in very good condition after its storage with the engine turning over with some compression. It appears to have been fitted from the factory with a two-speed drive by both belt and crossover shaft and chain drive, with the added advantage of a clutch. It is accompanied by a Pioneer Certificate from 1962, two continuation logbooks and some old DVLA correspondence. Please note: The registration 'SAP 729' on this machine has been removed previously and an age-related number will need to be applied for.

He began his career as a lecturer at the French department of the University of Manitoba, Canada, subsequently moving to Warwick University and finally to the University of Kent at Canterbury, where he taught for fifty years and held a professorship.Roger Cardinal was not only a leading authority on Outsider Art, but also on Surrealism. He was a prolific writer and a master of literary style. His eloquent, percipient writings include several books on a wide range of subjects such as Outsider Art (1972), German Romantics in Context (1975) Figures of Reality (1981), Expressionism (1984), The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash (1989), The Cultures of Collecting (1994), and Kurt Schwitters (2011). He also acted as a curator and was a regular contributor to art-historical publications.Cardinal’s interest in art lay in its margins - the neurodiverse, psychotic, uneducated, autistic, self-taught and ‘other’. His fascination with artists such as the violently psychotic Adolf Wölfli lay in their creativity rather than in the sensationalism of their lives. Certainly, it did not lie in the resale value of their work. That outsider art should have its own multimillion-dollar annual fair in New York and specialist departments at Christie’s auctioneers ran quite contrary to Cardinal’s thinking.Much of Roger Cardinal’s library has recently been donated to the Tate Gallery including the handwritten diaries that he kept his whole life. Cardinal often used books as working tools, heavily annotating in the margins - as with many volumes in the current sale. The library offered reflects Cardinal’s varied interests and fluent command of French and German. Alongside a large collection of art reference works in his specialist subjects, we also find collections of books on fairy tales and science fiction.

His eloquent, percipient writings include several books on a wide range of subjects such as Outsider Art (1972), German Romantics in Context (1975) Figures of Reality (1981), Expressionism (1984), The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash (1989), The Cultures of Collecting (1994), and Kurt Schwitters (2011). He also acted as a curator and was a regular contributor to art-historical publications.Cardinal’s interest in art lay in its margins - the neurodiverse, psychotic, uneducated, autistic, self-taught and ‘other’. His fascination with artists such as the violently psychotic Adolf Wölfli lay in their creativity rather than in the sensationalism of their lives. Certainly, it did not lie in the resale value of their work. That outsider art should have its own multimillion-dollar annual fair in New York and specialist departments at Christie’s auctioneers ran quite contrary to Cardinal’s thinking.Much of Roger Cardinal’s library has recently been donated to the Tate Gallery including the handwritten diaries that he kept his whole life.
