From the estate of the late David Atkinson 1938 Brough Superior 982cc SS80Registration no. GWL 4Frame no. M8/2006Engine no. BSX 4706•Single family ownership for 59 years (1947-2006)•All matching numbers other than the fuel tank (originally '3343', now '3403')•Known ownership history•Present ownership since 2017'GWL 4' is one of 460 Matchless-engined SS80s built, of which some 300-or-so survive. Its accompanying Brough Superior Owners Club record card shows that this machine was supplied new to Laytons of Oxford in July 1938, where it was registered as 'GWL 4'. The SS80 was purchased from its first owner in May 1947 by Jack Billard, who owned the Brough for 58 years until his death in December 2005, aged 85. He had used it regularly until 2002, when a non-motorcycling injury meant he could no longer ride!During WW2, Jack Billard was employed making components for the Spitfire fighter and after hostilities ceased became a specialist panel beater, making wings for Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars. Jack was a keen motorcycle enthusiast, owning a Rudge and a Vincent before the Brough. When he married in 1948, he added a single-seat sidecar to the Brough, which was replaced by a Blacknell Safety 2 after his second daughter was born in 1955. The Blacknell was purchased from T C Munday & Co Ltd of Brixton, whose original bill of sale is on file. The Brough 'combo' became the family's main form of transport, with wife and daughters taking it in turns to ride pillion or in the Blacknell's full-size seats. Sundays were spent riding through the Kent or Sussex countryside towards the coast or attending Brough Club events, winning the odd trophy along the way. In spite of this regular use, the Brough covered only 17,705 miles in nearly 70 years.Jack Billard was not one to polish the Brough or sidecar. His priority was to see that the combination was properly maintained and roadworthy at all times. Jack fitted flashing indicators, choosing his own somewhat idiosyncratic colour code for the wiring, and added a Rolls-Royce picnic table for the convenience of the passenger in the Blacknell's back seat. The original engine was fettled in 2002/2003 by Dave Clark of the Brough Superior Club. Following Jack's death, the Billard family offered the Brough for sale at Bonhams' Harrogate auction in November 2006 (Lot 363) where it was purchased by the immediately preceding owner. The late owner purchased 'GWL 4' at Bonhams' Stafford sale in October 2017 (Lot 229). Since acquisition the sidecar has been sold and the machine kept in storage. Presented in 'oily rag' condition, the Brough is offered for re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before commencing the next stage of its fascinating history. Accompanying documentation includes the aforementioned BSOC record card, a quantity of expired MoTs, SORN paperwork, and a V5C Registration Certificate.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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from The Forshaw Speedway Collection c.1930 Norton 490cc OHV Dirt Track Racing MotorcycleFrame no. 42399Engine no. 46752•Exceptionally rare Norton variant•In single family ownership from the 1930s until 1989•Found to substantially complete before restoration embarked uponThere is no greater name in motorcycle racing than Norton. James Lansdown (Pa) Norton was born in 1869, the son of a cabinet maker who followed a very different path through his fascination of mechanics, intoxicated by innovation in a fast changing world. This demonstrated from a young age when he built a working model steam engine before becoming a teenager. He was apprenticed as toolmaker from the age of fifteen but contracting severe rheumatic fever four years later left him with poor health for the rest of his life. This did not prevent him from setting up his own business. At the age of twenty nine in 1898 the Norton Manufacturing Company was supplying components to the flourishing bicycle trade.With the approach of the twentieth century Norton's imagination was inspired by an emerging interest in motorcycles which were gaining popularity amongst local enthusiasts. Diverging into motorcycle production was irresistible. A meeting with Charles Garrard, British importer of the French Clement range of engines, resulted in the two men in a joint venture, with Norton manufacturing for Garrard. But from 1902 a Norton motorcycle appeared for the first time with an ever increasing range becoming available but still using proprietary engines, notably Peugeot. Norton himself competed in many sporting events enabling him to evaluate his own machines.The year 1907 was momentous for James Norton with the inauguration of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy races. This was Norton's very first race, the entry of a 690cc V twin Peugeot engined machine owned by Harold Rembrandt Fowler but with factory support. Not only was this Norton's first race but it was an entirely new venture for the intrepid 'Rem' Fowler. With serious opposition and despite making a dozen stops and falling off on a couple of occasions Rem won his class. From being considered without any hope of success this was an outstanding result for the little-known Norton name but unwittingly the start of a formidable racing history over the following decades not only in the Isle of man but throughout the world.This amazing success spurred Norton to design his first engine. This the first single cylinder engine to become the epitome of the Norton racing motorcycle. There was a survival from bankruptcy in 1912 saved by the action of R.T (Bob) Shelley who with James Norton revitalised the company with expansion evident from 1916. Whilst there were racing and record-breaking successes from the opening of Brooklands in 1907 it was not until 1924 that Norton succeeded in the Isle of Man again, winning both the Senior and sidecar TTs with their ubiquitous push rod OHV singles.Although the first overhead camshaft Norton, the CS1, appeared in 1927 and was successful in that year's TT, it was an adapted version of the push rod engine that was proposed for the dirt track machine. By May 1930 when the Norton dirt track model made its first public appearance the sport was very much on a rising ascendancy and by this time the unique requirements for a cinder shifting machine were beginning to be understood. The Norton was the result of much experiment and attention to the latest ideas. The frame with certain influence from the current all-conquering Rudge including the necessary Webb forks and even Rudge type high level twin exhaust pipes. The inclusion of twin exhaust pipes with a single exhaust valve engine an unnecessary complication and added weight.Frank Varey gave the new Norton the first public outing winning races and breaking lap records at Perrey Bar and Nottingham. However, Frank Varey was one of the very few to really master the Norton and despite his glowing testaments few other riders liked it. Perhaps the frame was too stiff and the engine rather heavy leaving the handling 'much to be desired'. The machine soon gained the reputation of 'being a camel'. With the rapid development of the JAP engine soon to eclipse the entire speedway world, the Norton like all others was consigned to obscurity.Very few of these Nortons were made - maybe no more than eleven - although there are reports of successes on Australian tracks and maybe even in New Zealand. There is some evidence too that the specially developed engine was sold separately as well. This now very rare example, originally supplied to a dealer called Frodsham in Warrington, UK, was sourced by Richard in 1989 where it had been in the family of Henny Kroeze from the 1930s. Henny's uncle, Arie van de Ployn had used the machine for grass track racing. For this the three speed Sturmey Archer gearbox was used although it is now converted to just a simple countershaft. The engine, a 1930 Model 18 single port unit fitted with the correct short DT timing cover, is not as the original but appears to have been in the frame for most of its life, the engine having been fitted to a machine supplied to the Netherlands in June 1930. When purchased the motorcycle had deteriorated but remained substantially complete until a more recent restoration. This has included the replacement of the lower rear frame chain stays no doubt removed in the earlier life of the machine to find more flexibility. The Norton dirt track machines were built to a very high specification with a traditional rather heavy lugged frame. The accompanying file with letters discussing the purchase, invoices, photographs before and after restoration, period extracts from magazines and a Wright Wood image of Frank Varey with one of these Nortons. The mechanical condition is not known and therefore we recommend re-commissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent.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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 526
Offered from The Forshaw Speedway Collection, Ex-Peter Collins 1977 Weslake Speedway Racing MotorcycleEngine no. L283•Used by Peter Collins during the 1977 season•Acquired directly from Peter by Richard Forshaw in 1996•One of the very first Mk I Weslakes•Presented in in remarkably original conditionHarry Weslake joined the Royal Flying Corp in the First World War designing carburettors for aero engines. He had taken out a patent for an improved version of the Rudge Senspray and after the war he began to manufacturer a carburettor of his own design under the name Wex. But his expertise moved to cylinder head improvements including emphasis on port shape and gas flow, his work for Bentley securing the first four places at Le Mans in 1929. Later work for many other manufacturers included the SS Jaguar and much later still contributing to the BMC Mini launched in 1959. With the formation of Weslake Research and Development based in East Sussex, design projects continued including the design and building of the 3 litre V12 engine for Dan Gurney's Eagle in 1967 leading to Gurney's win of the German Grand Prix of that year. For some time the company had been carrying out gas flow tests on the JAP speedway engine for Don Godden's use in Long Track racing. In 1974 work started on their own speedway engine to challenge the Jawas. This new 4 valve engine was designed by Ron Valentine working with development engineer, Brian Lovell. Early tests were carried out in late 1974 by Don Godden, the engine mounted in a Godden frame. Testing the engine at Hackney in December 1967 John Louis was so impressed that he asked for two of the engines for himself. In 1975 John Louis won the British Championship and finished third in the World Final. Not satisfied in producing just the engine by early 1976 Weslake had a full speedway machine under way designing and manufacturing everything themselves. In early 1976 director David Short was able to claim that they had already produced four hundred engines and spares since April 1975. They were now planning to produce up to twelve engines a week, at least five hundred a year with perhaps only a hundred engines alone, the majority for complete machines. This considerable commitment was rewarded when Peter Collins took his early Mk I Weslake to win the World Final in 1976. For this Collins received the highest recognition with the award of the MBE as well as the Segrave Trophy for his success by 'Riding a British Weslake powered motorcycle'. This placed him in the pantheon of past winners of the Trophy, including Malcolm Campbell, Stirling Moss and Jackie Stewart. Harry Weslake was not forgotten with his award of the Segrave Medal. This MK I Weslake in the Forshaw collection is a very early example acquired by Richard Forshaw directly from Peter Collins, the receipt from Peter Collins dated 30th May 1996. There is further confirmation of this from a recent conversation with Peter where he explained that the machine was indeed one of the very first Mk I Weslakes. Peter went on to explain that as a works rider he was provided with four machines and about six engines a year. This Mk I was one of his stable that was used through 1977 when once again he qualified for the World Final missing the title by just one point to Ivan Mauger. One of Peter Collins works machines, it is in remarkably original condition with evidence of only maintenance as to be expected of any racing machine. Accompanied with reports of Weslake articles taken from the press, photographs, Weslake stickers and a part history of Weslake. The mechanical condition is not known and therefore we recommend re-commissioning and/ or restoration to a greater of lesser Extent.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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ex-Barry Sheene, ex-John Cronshaw 2001 FWD Manx Norton 500cc Racing MotorcycleFrame no. FW02Engine no. FW02•Frame FW02 ridden by Barry Sheene in his last (winning) race, as confirmed in writing by Fred Walmsley •Frame FW02 and engine FW02 used by John Cronshaw in the 2002 INCA European Classic Series•Purchased by a consortium of private collectors' from Fred Walmsley at The International Classic MotorCycle Show, Stafford, April 2003•Current family ownership since August 2003•Requires re-commissioningA machine of some considerable historical significance, the Fred Walmsley Development Manx Norton offered here - 'FW02' - was ridden to victory by the late great Barry Sheene in his last ever motorcycle race, at the Goodwood Revival Meeting in 2002. World Champion in the 500cc class in 1976 and 1977, Barry had retired from motorcycle racing at the end of the 1984 season. He then turned to other forms of motor sport, including truck and touring car racing, before emigrating with his family to Australia in the late 1980s in the hope that the warmer climate 'Down Under' would help mitigate the pain of his injury-induced arthritis. Settled in a new home on the Gold Coast, he combined a property development business with a role as a television commentator on motor sport. From the late 1990s, Sheene became involved in historic motorcycle racing, competing at events such as the Philip Island Classic in Australia and at Donington Park, Scarborough and Goodwood in the UK. In 2002 he was invited back to what would be his final competitive outing on a motorcycle, the Goodwood Revival Meeting, held in September. Barry's mount that day was this machine, one of celebrated engineer/tuner Fred Walmsley's modern Manx Norton re-creations. The pair's relationship had begun back in 1999 when Barry had asked Fred to provide a machine for F1 World Champion Damon Hill to ride at the second running of the Goodwood Revival. Barry was riding someone else's Manx in practice, only for the bike to suffer a serious mechanical failure which Fred fixed; from then onwards Barry only ever rode machines supplied by Fred. Barry had already scored two wins on one of Fred's bike at Donington Park earlier in 2002 before receiving his cancer diagnosis in July. His request for Fred to provide a machine for the Goodwood Revival came out of the blue. Fred and his rider John Cronshaw were at Most in the Czech Republic having just won the InCA European Classic Series when the call came in, necessitating an overnight dash back to the UK to get a bike prepared for Barry in time for Goodwood. Both of the engines used in the European Classic Series were rather tired, but Fred managed to put together a motor using the best bits of the two. Unfortunately, the cobbled-together engine proved unsatisfactory, so on the Friday after practice Fred had to borrow one of his '90-bore' motors that he'd sold to Norton specialist, the late George Cohen. Barry used George's engine at Goodwood that weekend, finishing second in the Lennox Cup on Saturday and winning it on Sunday to take overall victory. Barry Sheene died in hospital in Australia in March 2003 aged 52. The Lennox Cup was later renamed the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy in his honour. In April 2003, at the International Classic MotorCycle Show, Stafford, Fred Walmsley sold 'FW02', now reunited with its original engine, to a small consortium of private collectors' - each of whom paid one third of the cost. Shortly thereafter, in August 2003, 'FW02' was sold to a private collector, since deceased. The machine is offered for sale by his widow. Rider Nick Allison rode the Manx at Le Mans in April 2004, achieving two podium finishes, while Marcus Bisson demonstrated it at the Greve de Lecq hill climb in Jersey in 2003 and 2004. Its last outing is believed to have been the 2005 Sheene Run through Rugby town centre. The Norton has also been displayed at various other events. Not used for some years, the machine will require re-commissioning, at the very least, before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed. As presented today, 'FW02' departs from its 2002 specification in various ways, most notably the engine, front wheel, forks, controls, gearbox and swinging arm are not those used by Barry Sheene. As stated above, the engine is the bike's original (as used by John Cronshaw), Sheene's 2002 Goodwood engine having been retained by the late George Cohen. Close examination of contemporary photographs - particularly with regard to the fairing's decals and their placement - suggests that the fairing is the one fitted to Barry's bike at Goodwood in 2002 (please speak to Bonhams for further clarification). Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's original components and mechanical condition. Included in the sale is a race fairing (with former 500cc World Champion Wayne Gardner's name and scrutineer sticker for The Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy at the 2003 Goodwood Revival), seat (with applied sticker for The Sheene Run, 2005) and alloy fuel tank.The machine also comes with a substantial history file, which contains provenance documentation from Fred Walmsley dated 4th May 2003; 24th March 2006 and further correspondence on 17th May 2022 (perusal recommended) among many other documents, photographs, press cuttings, etc. Much missed, Barry Sheene has left behind a racing legacy admired by everyone connected with motorcycle sport, and this Manx Norton, the last machine he rode, represents a fitting coda to a glittering career.

The ex- H J 'Bert' Bacon, Edmond 'Boy' Tubb, Brooklands 'Gold Star'-winning 1929 Grindlay-Peerless 498cc Brooklands 'Hundred Model' (Lacey Replica)Frame no. B1124 Engine no. JOR/S 45521•Documented history from new•77 years in the Tubb family's possession•Restored in the 1970s•Widely displayed and demonstrated•Present ownership since 2012Competition success has been recognised as an ideal means of promotion since motorcycling's earliest days, but during the Vintage years in particular the breaking of speed records was reckoned as good a means of securing valuable publicity as victories gained on the racetrack. The most coveted prize was the One-Hour record, and once the 90-mile mark had been reached, all efforts were directed towards exceeding the magic 'ton' for 60 minutes. Claude Temple was the first man to do so, averaging almost 102mph at Montlhéry in 1925 on his 996cc OEC-Temple-JAP, and then the following year Norton-mounted Bert Denly achieved the feat on a '500' for the first time, again at the French track. To stimulate competition on home ground, The Motor Cycle magazine offered a silver trophy for the first successful attempt on British soil. That, of course, meant Brooklands, and on 1st August 1928, C W G 'Bill' Lacey, already a formidable competitor at the Weybridge track, wheeled out his immaculate Grindlay-Peerless and raised the record to 103.3mph, lapping at over 105mph in the process and taking the 750cc and 1000cc records into the bargain!Although ostensibly a Grindlay-Peerless, the record bike featured a nickel-plated frame constructed by Lacey and was powered by a twin-port JAP racing engine heavily reconfigured with Lacey's own cams and rocker gear. Grindlay-Peerless lost no time in bringing out a replica of Lacey's machine: the Brooklands '100 Model', a solitary example of which was exhibited at the Motor Cycle Show in November 1928. Like the record bike, the production version was also constructed by Lacey, the difference being the brazed-on tank support (instead of clamped). Priced at £90, the '100 Model', though different in detail, was essentially the same as Lacey's original, right down to its distinctive nickel-plated frame and cycle parts. However, the replica was not capable of the 100mph lap guaranteed by the factory. The job of fettling the bikes and tweaking the twin-port JAP engine to Lacey's specification fell to his assistant Wal Phillips, whereupon each was tested by Lacey at 100mph-plus and issued with a certificate. Two were sold complete with an extra Lacey 'sprint' fuel tank.However, lacking the resources of larger rivals and perhaps over-estimating the demand for such a specialised piece of racing equipment, Grindlay-Peerless sold only a handful, believed to be no more than five or six machines. Only two of these are known to survive: the one first owned by Brooklands and Manx Grand Prix competitor J D Potts (sold by Bonhams at Stafford in April 2001 and again in April 2018) and that offered here, which belonged to prominent VMCC member, the late Edmond Joseph 'Boy' Tubb, who won his Brooklands 'Gold Star' aboard the Grindlay. This '100 Model' was originally purchased by H J 'Bert' Bacon, a Brooklands habitué and Gold Star holder (1932), who raced it at Brooklands from 1929 to 1932. 'Numbered among the top flight of Brooklands riders', A L Loweth, who worked for Bert's friend Pat Driscoll and gained his Gold Star (500cc) in 1929, continued racing the bike at Brooklands during 1932 until it was purchased towards the end of that year by A J McClure, who continue to race it in 1932 and 1933.Edmond James 'Boy' Tubb's interest in motorcycle racing started at an early age (his family owned the well-known Middleton Garage at Bognor Regis). The Grindlay-Peerless with its predictable handling and 'Gold Star'-winning speed was a natural choice, and in November 1935 Tubb purchased McClure's '100 Model' for £30. Initial testing at Brooklands in April 1936 proved unsatisfactory, Tubb having lapped at 'only' 88mph. E C E 'Barry' Baragwanath, a Brooklands legend, multiple record holder and close friend of Bill Lacey, offered to help improve the performance and in May 1936 the engine was sent to Baragwanath's Tottenham workshop. Baragwanath fitted a longer con-rod (raising the cylinder barrel appropriately), swapped the twin-port cylinder head for a single-port 'Speedway' version, and installed cams developed by Bert Le Vack. The cost was £12 10s.Soon after, on 23rd May 1936, Tubb entered the Brooklands Second BMCRC Meeting; however, he experienced a severe 'tank slapper' and retired. Baragwanath was at hand, and after the fork dampers had been screwed down hard, the Grindlay exhibited the superior handling for which it was famous. On his third event after the re-tune, Tubb proceeded to lap at 102mph, gaining the coveted Gold Star for a lap over 100mph in a BMCRC race. In his next event, the gearbox was damaged and repaired by Baragwanath. A month or so later, on 18th June 1936, Francis Beart set an unbeaten record of 6.66sec on the famous Brooklands Test Hill with Lacey's old Grindlay-Peerless record-breaker, launching himself into the air and landing twenty yards on in the process!1937 was a good year for Tubb and the Grindlay. In the numerous events entered, Tubb was placed in most all of them, gradually building confidence and achieving increasing speeds culminating in his fastest lap of 105.74mph. This while achieving 4th place from scratch against twice TT-winner Walter Handley, who was given a six seconds start. Later that year, Tubb was unlucky in the Hutchinson 100, retiring after only seven laps with a broken crank-pin and cracked crankcase, which meant another rebuild by Baragwanath. A few weeks later, Tubb was back at Brooklands racing and sprinting. He achieved his best-ever Brooklands lap on 30th June 1937 at over 105mph (see letter on file appended by Brooklands' official timekeeper, A V 'Ebby' Ebblewhite). Also on file is a fascinating article from the Brooklands Society Gazette (2005) in which 'Boy' Tubb evocatively recalls his racing exploits. Perhaps not noticing the gathering clouds of war, Tubb returned to Brooklands in the spring of 1938 with continued vigour, regularly lapping at 104mph and scoring more podium places; that year's Hutchinson was given a miss, though Tubb was there on that October day competing in other events. Escalating racing costs and saving for a ride in the 1939 TT meant that the last year of Brooklands racing saw little of Boy Tubb and his Grindlay. Tub spent the war in the Army but as soon as the British Motor Cycle Racing Club was re-formed in March 1947, Tubb rejoined as member No.20. At the celebratory supper at the Talbot Restaurant in London EC2 Tubb no doubt rekindled pre-war friendships with Baragwanath, Lacey, Bacon and Pat Driscoll. Ravished by war, Brooklands had closed, but hopes were still high that the home of British racing would reopen and activities resume. In 1947 there was not much one could do with an Outer Circuit bike running on exotic fuels but Tubb found the solution in the Brighton Speed Trials where he gave good account of himself with a time of 34.72sec.Tubb continued to attend the handful of post-war events both as a spectator and marshal, and occasionally stretched the Grindlay's legs. 1949 saw Tubb compete in the North East London MCC's Trent Park Speed Trials, which he did again in 1950 and 1951. He also attended the early Goodwood meetings. The 1952 Brighton Speed Trials were to be Tubb's last competitive entry with his Grindlay.When the Montagu Motor Museum opened in 1952, the Grindlay found a temporary home at Beaulieu while venturing out yearly for the Brooklands reunion and other events. But it was soon back at Tubb's Bognor Regis home where in 1960 it w... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Isle of Man Junior 250cc TT-Winning, Ex-Douglas Prentice 1921 New Imperial 250cc Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. OH 6926Frame no. W11858 Engine no. BR/21/125•Documented ownership history from new•Only five owners in over 100 years•Restored circa 1988•Maintained continuously•Remarkably well preservedAfter an abortive attempt in 1901, New Imperial commenced series production of motorcycles in 1910. By 1913 the fledgling firm was contesting the Isle of Man TT races, entering a trio of 500s in the Senior event, none of which finished. This disappointment and the intervention of WWI delayed New Imperial's next appearance until 1921, but what an historic return it would be. At that time there was no separate Lightweight TT race (the 250s would not have their own separate Lightweight TT race until 1922); instead a trophy was awarded for 250cc machines entered in the Junior (350cc) event, the first such award having been made in 1920 when Levis secured a resounding victory, taking the first three places. New Imperial entered five JAP-engined 250s in the 1921 Junior and although four retired, Douglas Prentice went on to win the class at an average speed of 44.82mph, Bert Kershaw's having set the fastest lap. After the race, new Imperial's boss Norman Downs presented Prentice with his winning machine. New recruit Bert Le Vack came close to victory in the Junior event the following year and finished 2nd in the Lightweight race in 1923, and then the Twemlow brothers' 1924 Junior/Lightweight TT double - Ken winning the former, Eddie the latter - plus Eddie's repeated Lightweight victory in 1925, confirmed New Imperial as one of the dominant forces in 250 racing in the Vintage years. New Imperial had switched from JAP engines to those of its own manufacture by the decade's end, and although the 1930s brought fewer success in the Isle of Man TT, Bob Foster's 1936 Lightweight TT win was notable as the last achieved by a British-made machine before WW2. In July 1921 Prentice rode his New Imperial in the first and last Brooklands 500-Mile event. Bert Kershaw on a sister machine dominated and won the class while picking up 14 records. New Imperial went on to win the Team Prize as well as the Gold Medal in the A-CU Six-Day Trial that was held at Brooklands in September 1921. In the following season Prentice rode his machine in the Brooklands Junior TT, where Class A was again won by a New Imperial (J V Prestwick). Prentice kept his New Imperial for three years, recalling later: 'In addition to sundry trials etc, I used it as general hack for running from my home to the works.' Prentice finally sold the New Imperial to Reginald Wright of The Cycle Shop, Backwell Street, Kidderminster on 23rd August 1924. Wright kept 'OH 6926' for the next 30 years. The machine we offer is Douglas Prentice's 1921 Junior 250cc Trophy-winning machine, which comes with his signed letter of authenticity, dated 23rd August 1924, confirming that it was this actual motorcycle that he rode in the 1921 race. It should be noted that photographs in the Keig archive show Doug Prentice (No. 24) astride 'OH 6924' before the race and his team-mate Les Horton (No. 20) on 'OH 6926' at the start. However, it was common practice for race teams to swap frames, engines and registration plates as and when it suited them. Interestingly, Prentice was photographed by Keig prior to the 1922 race aboard a works New Imperial registered 'OE 250', a registration issued in 1919/1920. Furthermore, although it is partially obscured in Keig's start-line photograph, this may well have been the registration that Prentice's bike carried during the 1921 race! It most definitely is not 'OH 6924' on which he had been photographed during practice. New Imperial does seem to have had a somewhat casual attitude to registrations! It should also be remembered that Prentice authenticated 'OH 6926' in 1924, a mere three years after the 1921 race, and again some 40 years later. Of equal significance is the fact that Prentice's machine had been given to him after the race by New Imperial boss Norman Downs. Also contained within this historic machine's accompanying file are two old-style buff logbooks, the earliest of which (issued January 1925) records Reginald Wright of Kidderminster, as the sole owner. Mr Wright appears as owner in the second book (issued September 1954) and John Bone as '1st Change' from October that same year. One of the founding committee members of the VMCC's North Birmingham Section, John Bone owned 'OH 6926' until 2008 when the machine was offered for sale by his family at Bonhams' Stafford sale in April of that year (Lot 560).In August 1961 John Bone had corresponded with Doug Prentice, whose accompanying letters reveal that the Trophy-winning machine was given to him by 'Mr Downs of New Imps' (company founder Norman T Downs). Doug Prentice states that the bike never gave him the slightest trouble 'either in the Isle of Man where I did countless practice laps prior to the official practice period, in the Race itself, or during the English Six Days Trials where it gained a Gold (after changing the TT close-ratio 'box!)'. He also states that while other members of the 1921 team changed valve springs prior to the actual race, he decided to leave well alone and ended up the only New Imp finisher. Sadly, Doug Prentice died in September 1961 without having had the opportunity to see his old bike again. John Bone used the TT-winning New Imp extensively on VMCC and other events throughout the late 1950s and into the 1960s, winning in the process around 40 cups, medals and awards in trials all over the UK, including three successive Land's End to John O'Groats runs (1959-1961). In interviews John modestly said: 'the bike gave me no trouble at all'. For his heroic achievement John was awarded the Vintage Invincible Triple Trophy. The latter is included in the sale together with a substantial quantity of other trophies and commemorative awards (list available). The 1954 bill of sale, an old MoT certificate (expired August 1974), owner's notes, assorted press cuttings and various period photographs are contained within the accompanying history file, close inspection of which is recommended. When offered for sale at Stafford in 2008, 'OH 6926' had been in the hands of only three owners for almost 90 years, all living within a stone's throw of Kidderminster, and had last been taxed for road use in 1977. The New Imp had been restored circa 1988 and looked after by Geoff Bishop for nine years and prior to that by retired engineer, Bernie Hill. The machine was sold to an important private collection in the USA and in 2011 was repatriated to this country by its current discerning owner and collector.The only survivor from New Imperial's successful 1921 TT works team, 'OH 6926' has been used, loved, and maintained continuously from new and is remarkably well preserved. Including the winners of the 'Junior 250 Trophy', only 38 motorcycles won Isle of Man TT races during the Vintage period; thus 'OH 6926' represents a rare, possibly once-in-a-lifetime, opportunity to acquire an historic machine belonging to this most exclusive category.

1937 Triumph 350cc Tiger 80Registration no. AAS 178Frame no. SABTVRO3972219029 (see text)Engine no. 7 T80 4368Edward Turner's arrival at Triumph in 1936 resulted in extensive improvements to the range. A brilliant stylist, Turner transformed the Val Page-designed overhead-valve singles by adopting sports specification engines, high level exhausts, chromed fuel tanks and a new name: 'Tiger'. Frames, forks, engines and gearboxes were all improved for 1937 and a trio of randomly selected Tigers successfully completed a series of arduous speed trails to secure the Maudes Trophy for Triumph later in the year. Today, Turner's Tigers are widely recognised as the most stylish sports roadsters of the period and are highly sought after. Formerly part of a collection of pre-war Triumphs, this Tiger 80 was purchased as a 'basket case' and restored to factory specification in 1990. Maintained in full working order, it has been on the road since the restoration's completion, making several visits to the IoM races and completing a trouble-free 180-mile run from Shrewsbury to London in May 2022. Accompanying paperwork consists of receipts, a VMCC dating document, V5/V5C registration documents, old MoTs and tax discs, etc. It should be noted that a 'SABTVRO' VIN number is assigned by a vehicle registration office when the original identity of a bodyshell or frame cannot be determined. The VMCC dating document quotes the frame number as 'TL.2496' which is stamped in the correct position.

Property of Ron Chandler; 1973 Rouen 200-mile winning 1973 Triumph 750cc Trident 'Rob North' Formula 750 Racing MotorcycleFrame no. noneEngine no. A75R KG00356•The first privateer (non-works team) frame supplied•Original factory BSA engine •Also campaigned successfully by Alistair Frame for the Bee Bee brothers•Rebuilt by Arthur Jakeman in 2003•Paraded by Ron in the UK and on the Continent•Good history fileThe historic Triumph racing motorcycle offered here was originally commissioned by Ron Chandler and used by him to win the Formula 750 200-mile race at Rouen in 1973.The Triumph and BSA 750 Triples had been launched in the UK in 1969, just in time to be up-staged by Honda's four-cylinder CB750. Faced with ever-increasing foreign competition the Triple failed to fulfil its makers' expectations in the showroom, but success on the racetrack did more than enough to ensure a place in motorcycling history. BSA-Triumph's Chief Engineer Doug Hele spearheaded engine development throughout 1969, while frame builder Rob North devised a chassis that would stand the test of time like few others. The team narrowly missed victory at the 1970 Daytona 200, its first major event, Gene Romero finishing 2nd on a Triumph. A revised 'lowboy' frame, twin front disc brakes and the racing Triple's characteristic 'letterbox' fairing were all new for 1971, a year which would see the Triple established as one of the most formidable racing motorcycles ever. Dick Mann's BSA won at Daytona, and John Cooper - also BSA-mounted - at Mallory Park's Race of the Year, vanquishing the hitherto unbeatable combination of Giacomo Agostini and his four-cylinder MV. Percy Tait and Ray Pickrell had won the 24-hour Bol d'Or endurance race the preceding week on another Triple, and Cooper wrapped up a memorable international season for BSA-Triumph with victory in the 250-mile race at Ontario Motor Speedway in October. The company's financial difficulties meant that there was no works effort in 1972, but privateers kept the Triple winning for many years, and the bike remains a potent force in classic racing today. Ron Chandler was an established star on the international road-racing scene when he bought the Rob North frame back in 1973. A Thames lighterman by trade, Ron had been using a pre-war AJS 250 and then a Matchless G9 to ride to work when the opportunity presented itself to purchase the ex-Lewis Carr Matchless G45 from dealer Geoff Monty. After a couple of years learning the ropes, Ron felt confident enough in his abilities to purchase a brand new Matchless G50. That was in 1960. Ron won his first two races on the G50 and caught the eye of sponsor Tom Kirby. Moving up a gear, he began competing in the Manx Grand Prix, Isle of Man TT, and World Championship events on the Continent. After a few relatively successful seasons, Ron transferred his allegiance to Tom's brother, Reg Kirby, and began working for Colin Seeley, building frames and bikes in Colin's Belvedere workshop. With Colin preparing his machines, Ron was able to progress to the next level. In 1967 he was crowned 'King of Brands' and completed his best-ever season by winning the British 500cc Championship. He rode the works Seeleys for a couple more years before the 7R's waning competitiveness forced a switch to the ubiquitous TZ Yamaha for the '350' class, while for 1971 he had a more competitive Kawasaki H1R to ride in 500cc events. With the advent of Formula 750, Ron decided he needed a bike for that class and approached frame builder Rob North. 'I was talking to Mick Boddice about moving up to the 750cc class, and said that I'd like to get hold of a Triumph or BSA Triple. Mick said that he had a factory BSA Rocket 3 engine that was unsuitable for his outfit. We did a deal, and at the end of the season I went up to Mick's garage in the Midlands and collected the engine. 'Chris Allen (my sponsor) and I went up to Rob North's workshop and bought a complete rolling chassis. We delivered the rolling chassis and motor to (Triumph Experimental Department engineer) Arthur Jakeman, who prepared the engine at his home.' Arthur Jakeman remembers that Rob North had made it very clear that this frame was the first commercial (i.e. non-works team) sale. With the blessing of Doug Hele (Triumph's Chief Development Engineer) Ron was able to buy all the factory racing components needed. Ron designed the tank and seat and had them made in alloy by Weldatank in Swanscombe (John Pearson, Lyta). By January '73 Arthur had finished the bike and Ron went up to Coventry to collect it. Although it had a BSA engine, the bike was badged as a Triumph. There is a (copy) document on file, signed by Arthur Jakemen and former BSA-Triumph team manager the late Les Williams, testifying to the machine's origins. Ron again: 'My first outing on the bike was at Mallory Park in March 1973. At the race I was talking to Percy Tait and he asked whether I was going to Rouen, the second meeting of the year. I managed to get a late entry and went down to Rouen with the former Triumph works team: Percy, Tony Jefferies and Les Williams. There was only enough room in their twin-wheel Transit van for the bike, me, and my leathers bag, so I couldn't take any tools or spares! 'Well, I won the first leg by eight seconds and finished 2nd in the second leg, Tony Jefferies beating me by half a wheel's length. On aggregate I won overall.' Reputedly, the £2,200 Rouen prize money was the same sum it had cost to build the bike! There are black-and-white photographs on file of Ron receiving the victor's trophy, laurel wreath and Champagne, one of which also shows a somewhat disgruntled looking Tony Jefferies being interviewed!Ron used the Triple for the rest of the 1973 season, riding in the Transatlantic Match Races (also in 1974) and taking it to continental 750cc races, getting some decent placings. 'In '74 we were racing against the 700cc Yamahas and Suzuki 750s and the BSA (sic) was no match for these machines so we decided to sell it and buy a Yamaha.' Ron retired from racing in 1975 but in 1983 was tempted back on track to take part in classic parades, which he would enjoy for the next 30 years. In the meantime, Ron's Rouen-winning Triumph had been acquired by the Bee Bee brothers, and while racing under their banner it had an engine displacement of 830cc. Bee Bee team rider Alistair Frame used this machine extensively, amassing an impressive 52 race wins in three years (1977-1979 inclusive) during which period he won three Championships at Aintree and for a while held the lap record at that circuit. He also held the Midland Club Championship for three years, riding at circuits like Cadwell Park, Mallory Park, Donington Park and Wellesbourne.Having retired in 1975, Ron did not ride again until Mike Hailwood's memorial meeting at Donington Park in 1983. Meanwhile, Chris Allen had bought the ex-Eddie Mannschreck lowboy-framed BSA Triple and Ron began riding it at various parades, commencing in 1998. Ron takes up the story again: 'I had often wondered what had happened to my old Rouen-winning machine, and felt that it would be nice to buy it back someday. The problem was, of course, that I had no idea where it was. 'I was riding Chris Allen's ex-Jim Rice BSA at Silverstone when I met Michel Laurette, a French journalist. I asked him whether he could get me a ride at Montlhéry in France, which he arranged. Michel was reading on the internet about Alistair Frame, one-time Bee Bee Triple rider, and some way through the piece it read '... this bike once belonged to Ron Chandler who rode it to victory in Rouen 1973'.'To cut a long story short, Ron successfully traced the collector who had bought the bike from the Bee Bee brothers: Ronnie Niven, who revealed that he had kept it in his bedroom for the last fiv...
