1969 Triumph 650cc TR6P SaintRegistration no. AMM 903HFrame no. DC17840Engine no. TR6P EC17937Originally intended as a dual-purpose model, the Trophy became more of a roadster as time passed, ending up, in effect, as a single-carburettor Bonneville. Triumph enjoyed a long history of providing machines to police forces around the world, and the Trophy-based Saint offered here was first registered to the Metropolitan Police in November 1969. The Triumph was sold to its first private owner in 1973 and almost immediately passed to the second private owner, a former police Traffic Control Officer, who appears to have kept it until 1995 (see letter on file). The machine displays a total of 42,469 miles on the odometer and is offered for re-commissioning. It comes with an owner's manual; some expired MoTs and tax discs; a current V5C document; and its original logbook recording a change of engine to the current 'EC17937'.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1991 Triumph 1200 TrophyRegistration no. J861 PJTFrame no. SMTTC341CFM000543Engine no. 000560Triumph's resurrection and transformation into a thriving global brand is one of the more unlikely manufacturing success stories of modern times. Deliberately over-engineered to ditch the old reputation for oil leaks and unreliability, Triumph's new engines were conceived along modular lines, with a common basic architecture and many components shared. A tubular-steel spine frame was common to all models, further cutting development costs. Unveiled in the autumn of 1990, the range consisted of three and four-cylinder models named after iconic Triumphs of the past: Daytona, Trophy, and Trident. Its owner's favourite bike, this 1200 Trophy has had only three former keepers and has belonged to the current vendor since April 1997. Dry stored since 2005, the machine has covered only 13,838 miles from new; re-commissioning will be required before further use. The machine is offered with the service handbook, sundry expired MoTs and tax discs, Datatag paperwork, and an old-style V5C.Footnotes:Please click the link to view the walkaround video of Lot 507: click hereAs with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1996 Triumph 885cc Daytona Super IIIRegistration no. N468 JLXFrame no. SMT372DD7TJ031375Engine no. 372DDT031749Unveiled at the Cologne Show in the autumn of 1990, the born-again Triumph range consisted of three- and four-cylinder models named after iconic models of the past: Daytona, Trophy, and Trident. The most sporting of these were the Daytonas. Introduced in 1994, the limited-edition Super III was Triumph's attempt to elevate the Daytona's performance to a point where it could challenge the Japanese opposition. Cosworth were recruited to provide the required power increase, raising maximum output of the 885cc three-cylinder engine to 118bhp (up from 98). A liberal application of carbon fibre knocked a couple of pounds of the weight, while the Super III's six-piston 'brick wall' brakes received copious praise. Now, some 25 years later, these early Hinckley Triumphs are becoming increasingly collectible, and none more so than the limited-edition Super III. This Daytona Super III was sold new in Ohio, USA and comes with copies of the original bill of sale and 1999 Ohio Certificate of Title. In April 2000 the original owner imported the Triumph into the UK where it was registered as 'N468 JLX'. Additional documentation consists of SORN paperwork; some MoTs (most recent expired 2007); V5C New Keeper Supplement; and the service booklet stamped on four occasions, most recently in June 2005 at 9,016 miles (current reading 10,468 miles). The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 745
c.1947 Norton 348cc 'Manx' Competition SpecialRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 10427Engine no. B10M 11831•Built by the lady vendor's husband in the mid-1960s•Winner of the National Sprint Association's 350cc class Hill Climb Championship trophy in 1968•Offered from long-term storage•Requires re-commissioningDubbed 'Manx Grand Prix' in 1939, what would become the best-known racing motorcycle of all time had become simply 'Manx' when production resumed in 1946. Norton's over-the-counter Manx racers were much the same as their pre-war counterparts, with single-overhead-camshaft engine, 'square' cylinder head finning, upright gearbox and plunger-suspended 'garden gate' frames. Only the presence of the Roadholder telescopic front fork readily distinguished them from the '39 machines. 1949 brought the first significant change in engine specification, the Manx gaining a double-overhead-camshaft cylinder head like that enjoyed by the works bikes for many years, but the major development was the arrival of the Featherbed frame for 1951. The works' adoption of the McCandless-designed duplex-loop swinging-arm chassis the previous year had given the Nortons a new lease of life in Grand Prix racing, and Geoff Duke duly took both the 350 and 500cc world titles in 1951. The cycle parts remained essentially unchanged from then on apart from the adoption of a double-sided, twin-leading-shoe front brake for 1962. Manx engine development though, continued steadily, latterly under Doug Hele's direction, until production ceased at the end of '62, among the most significant design changes being the adoption of 'square' bore and stroke dimensions for 1954 and coarser-pitch bevel teeth in 1957.This handsome Norton competition 'special' was built in the mid-1960s for hill climbs and sprints by the lady vendor's husband, a regular competitor in such events in his native West Country and further afield. It consists of a Norton Model 18 rigid frame dating from June 1947 and a 350cc Manx engine from August of that year, the latter fitted with the later 'double knocker' cylinder head. Other noteworthy features include Morad 19' flanged alloy wheel rims; an Amal 10TT9 carburettor; and a Smiths 8,000rpm tachometer. This motorcycle has obviously been built with great attention to detail and with speed in mind, the result being a most stylish British classic. It was ridden by its owner with some success too, winning the National Sprint Association's 350cc class Hill Climb Championship trophy in 1968 (see copy photographs on file). The machine will require re-commissioning after a period of storage and thus is sold strictly as viewed. There is no paperwork with this Lot.

1952 Triumph 499cc TrophyRegistration no. OTA 129Frame no. 32897Engine no. TR5 32897From the time of its introduction in 1948 the Triumph Trophy was established as a true all-rounder: a machine that could be ridden to work during the week and then, with extraneous components removed, competed on at weekends in its owner's chosen branch of motorcycle sport. Although catalogued primarily as a trials machine, its true forte was scrambles and the ISDT, events in which the power of the tuneable Triumph twin worked to its advantage and its weight was less of a handicap. The arrival of a new swinging-arm frame for 1955 finally put paid to the Trophy's pretensions as a one-day trials mount, for although the rear suspension enhanced traction and improved the handling, the lengthened wheelbase and increased weight rendered it un-competitive. Nevertheless, the TR5 remained an extremely competent and stylish roadster until the end of production in 1958. Originally dispatched to P H Sharam Ltd, Torquay, on the 17th September 1952, this matching-numbers Trophy has been owned since 1999 by the current vendor, who advises us that it was restored in 1995/1997 and is in good condition throughout. The Triumph last ran in 2020 but will be in running condition again by time of sale. Offered with a spare sprung hub, accompanying paperwork includes a Triumph Owners MCC dating certificate, sundry restoration bills, and a V5C Registration Certificate.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate 1960 Triumph 649cc TR6 TrophyRegistration no. 361 XUBFrame no. D1272Engine no. TR6 D1272This pre-unit TR6 Trophy was purchased by the late owner on 18th June 2019 from a Mr McAllister (purchase receipt on file). Sadly, the late owner never got the chance to ride the machine and it has been garaged since purchase. A family friend last started the machine approximately six months ago; however, it has not been ridden any distance and will therefore require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before further use (the engine turns over with compression). The V5C Registration Certificate lists a first UK registration date of 1st March 2007, which is presumably around when the machine was re-imported/repatriated to the UK (presumably by Mr McAllister). The late owner's widow knows nothing of the machine's history or the restoration, which may have been completed prior to being re-imported in 2007. Six MoT certificates on file show the recorded mileage rising from 1 mile in February 2007 to 4,855 in May 2012. Further MoT history online shows that another certificate was issued on 11th August 2017 at 5,224 miles (the current odometer reading is 5,472 miles). Additional documentation consists of a VMCC frame/engine number dating statement.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1997 Triumph 885cc AdventurerRegistration no. P49 GJFFrame no. SMTTC399JMT042472Engine no. J042917John Bloor's resurrection of Triumph and its transformation into a thriving global brand is one of the more unlikely manufacturing success stories of modern times. Unveiled at the Cologne Show in the autumn of 1990, the range consisted of three- and four-cylinder models named after iconic Triumphs of the past: Daytona, Trophy, and Trident. In 1994 the range was expanded by the addition of another model reviving a famous name from the company's past: the Thunderbird, the classic 'retro' styling of which was big hit in the USA. Several Thunderbird variants were produced, Triumph Sport, Legend, and Adventurer, the latter being styled along cruiser lines. Now, a quarter of a century later, these early Hinckley Triumphs are becoming increasingly collectible. This Adventurer was acquired for the collection in January 2004 and currently displays a total of 2,981 miles on the odometer. Last taxed in 2001, the machine is offered with an old-style V5C document and two expired MoTs.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1960 Triumph 649cc TR6 TrophyRegistration no. 961 XUXFrame no. D6492Engine no. TR6 D6492This matching-numbers TR6 Trophy was built in June 1960 and exported to the USA, returning in 2009 as a rolling chassis 'basket case'. The Triumph was then restored by the current owner over a period of 15 months with no expense spared. His efforts were duly rewarded in August 2010 when the Trophy was judged 'Best Classic' at a local show. In October of that year the Triumph was loaned as an exhibit to the London Motorcycle Museum where it remained until October 2016. In the meantime, the Trophy had finished runner up at the Salon Privé Concours at Syon Park in September 2013. Removed from the Museum and re-commissioned, the Triumph received the 'Best Bike' award at the Hanworth Classic Show in June 2017 and was then laid up on static display at the owner's home. The machine was re-commissioned again in April 2021 and the engine run, with everything found to be working. Described by the vendor as in excellent condition, and standard apart from a high-level exhaust system, this concours-winning Trophy comes with a substantial history file, the contents of which include restoration photographs; a dating letter; the Salon Privé rosette and certificate; and a logbook detailing all works done since 2009 (perusal recommended).

Sicily, Syracuse, Agathokles (317-289 BC), AR Tetradrachm, 16.6g, 305-295 BC, head of Kore right, wreathed with corn, rev. AAOKE[O] in exergue, Nike standing right, erecting trophy of arms, a hammer in her right hand, triskeles on right, monogram on left (SNG Copenhagen 764; SNG ANS 664), reverse a little off centre, almost extremely fine, with attractive old cabinet tone.Footnote: With the usurpation of Agathokles in 317 BC, Syracuse once more monopolised the right of coinage for the whole of Sicily, even more distinctly than in the time of Dionysios. Yet the reign of Agathokles, as noted by Malcolm Bell (Morgantine Studies I, 1981) “was a watershed for the arts in Sicily, just as it was for politics. The change from a conservative late-classical style to the new modes of the early-Hellenistic period came very quickly, within the space of a decade, and it coincided with the replacement of democratic government by the new monarchy. It is clearly perceptible in the coins that... document the full acceptance of early-Hellenistic style.” Depicted often as a cruel and unscrupulous adventurer and tyrant, Agathokles achieved little of lasting historical importance; indeed after his death anarchy erupted both in Syracuse, where a damnatio memoriae was decreed, and in other places that had been under his rule (Diod. Sic. 21. 18). Nonetheless, his patronage of the arts left a legacy of beauty as embodied by a small number of surviving works of art from his reign, and smaller but no less wonderful objects such as this stunning coin.

Pack volunteered to carry an important dispatch into Nieuwpoort and had much difficulty in escaping when the French invested it. Later he was engaged at Boxtel and in the winter retreat to Bremen. Following that retreat the 14th squadron was transferred to the 8th light dragoons after being attached to it. When Pack came home he obtained his lieutenancy in the 14th on 12 March 1795. He commanded a small party of dragoons in the Quiberon expedition^ and in this period did duty for some months as a field-officer on Isle Dieu. He received his troop in the 5th dragoon guards on 27 February 1796^ and while serving with them in Ireland in 1798 he led a patrol near Prosperous against a party of rebels^ who lost twenty men and eight horses.¦¦Pack commanded the escort which conducted General Humbert and other French officers to Dublin after their surrender at Ballinamuck. On 25 August 1798 he was promoted major in the 4th Royal Irish dragoon guards and on 6 December 1800 he was appointed lieutenant-colonel in the 71st highlanders. He commanded the 71st at the recapture of the Cape of Good Hope in 1806^ where he was wounded at the landing in Lospard~s Bay. During the ill-fated operation in South America in 1806-7 he was taken prisoner^ but he managed to escape. He then commanded the light troops of the army in two successful actions against the enemy and in Whitelocke~s disastrous attack on Buenos Aires^ in which he received three wounds.¦¦In 1808 the 71st was ordered to Portugal^ and he commanded it at the battles of Roliça and Vimeiro. He marched with Sir John Moore~s army into Spain and in the retreat to Corunna. After returning to England he took part in the Walcheren expedition in 1809^ in which he bravely stormed one of the enemy~s batteries during the siege of Flushing. He became aide-de-camp to the king with the rank of colonel on 25 July 1810. He was then appointed with local rank to a Portuguese brigade under Marshal Beresford and commanded it at Busaco in 1810^ and in front of Almeida in May 1811. When the French garrison escaped Pack pursued them to Barba del Puerco^ and upon orders of Sir Brent Spencer blew up the defences of Almeida. At the capture of Ciudad Rodrigo^ Pack^ who had been appointed a British brigadier-general^ led his Portuguese brigade to make a feint attack on the outwork of the Santiago gate^ which was converted into a real attack.¦¦Pack distinguished himself at the battle of Salamanca and was honourably mentioned for his services in the operations against Burgos. He became a major-general on 4 June 1813 and was present with his brigade at Vitoria. Wellington placed him in temporary command of the 6th division in the Pyrenées^ and he was wounded again at Soraven. He commanded a division at the battles of Nivelle^ the Nive^ Orthez^ and Toulouse^ where he received yet another wound and was honourably mentioned. For his Peninsular services^ in which he was eight times wounded^ he received the Peninsular gold cross and seven clasps. He was offered a brigade in the expedition to America but instead was appointed to command at Ramsgate.
