The worldwide coverage it gained in the press and on television reminded potential buyers of the toughness inherent in Land Rovers, and it gave them a vital dash of glamour and adventure.' – Eric Dymock, The Land Rover File. A Camel Trophy support vehicle, this Land Rover has been to India and back three times. The Camel Trophy was a competition held annually between 1980 and 2000, and was best known for its use of Land Rover vehicles over challenging terrain. The event took its name from its main sponsor, the Camel cigarette brand. Although standard production models, the participating Land Rovers were always prepared by the company's Special Project Division or its successors. Powered by the 2.5-litre diesel engine, 'K311 YKV' features twin fuel tanks, a winch, two batteries, a snorkel, a Brownchurch roof rack, and an external-to-internal roll cage. The current (third) owner has owned the Land Rover for 22 years and advises us that it is on its third genuine gearbox, which is perhaps not surprising given the life it has led. The Landie is said to run and drive well.To Schedule a video condition report for this lot please click hereFootnotes:Vendor Score Total: 51/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

A BOX CONTAINING A SELECTION OF DOMESTIC METALWARES the majority plated trophy vases

Flight Captain Joan Lily Amelia Hughes M.B.E. (1918-1993), a Civil M.B.E. Medal with note of congratulations on Buckingham Palace headed paper, in original presentation box and outer cardboard box, together with 'The Pike Trophy 1980', in original box , a scrap book formed of mainly photocopied newspaper cuttings, copies of photographs and a text, 'Joan Hughes, the school-girl Air Pilot' and a hardback copy of 'Spitfire Women of World War II' by Giles Whittell (4) The medal was awarded to Flight Lieutenant Joan Lily Amelia Hughes in 1946 in recognition of her extraordinary contribution to the war effort. Joan was in the very first group of female pilots taken on by Air Transport Auxiliary. They didn't take part in combat but instead delivered planes around the country to RAF airbases, enabling fighter pilots to spend more time in training, particularly for the Battle of Britain. She had become interested in flying after her brother Douglas started, and she asked if she could do it too. They both learnt with the East Anglian Flying Club at Abridge. She was just 15 when she took her first solo flight in a Gypsy One Moth bi-plane, securing her licence at 17 to become the youngest flyer in England. She went on to become a flying instructor, training with Rosamund King Everard. After the war Joan not only stayed on at White Waltham airfield to fly and train new young people but also began a glamorous career as a stunt pilot. She flew Kenneth More's Spitfire in "Reach for the Sky" (1956) in which More played Battle of Britain pilot Group Captain Douglas Bader; she piloted a replica of the diminutive 1909 Demoiselle in "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines! (1965) and undertook all the dogfights in "The Blue Max" (1966) on behalf of George Peppard. Joan also served as Lady Penelope's stunt pilot in the original Thunderbirds series, famously flying under a motorway bridge on the M40 which was then under construction in 1967, a daring deed for which she was prosecuted but was later cleared of all charges.

Offered from the Collection of Carole Nash1955 Triumph 499cc TrophyRegistration no. JPN 287Frame no. 64038Engine no. TR5 64038From 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.The matching-numbers Trophy offered here was purchased from Mr Bryan Kemp of East Sussex in June 2011, as evidenced by the sales receipt and correspondence on file. An accompanying document lists details of its restoration and states that the Triumph had been owned (presumably by Mr Kemp) for 30+ years and had had three owners. Not used for some time, the machine will require re-commissioning and the customary safety checks before returning to the road. Offered with a V5C document.Footnotes:As 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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The ex-works; Ron Langston; 1958 ISDT 1958 Ariel 497cc HT5Registration no. XOB 440Frame no. CRT 582Engine no. CAMB 1714•ISDT Gold Medal winner•An older restoration •Formerly part of the Autokraft CollectionAriel was one of the last British manufacturers to introduce a trials frame with rear suspension, the prototype of what would become the HT5 first appearing at the Scottish Six Days event in 1955 with production proper commencing in September of that year. Little was achieved by the works HT5s in their first season but the arrival of Ron Langston for 1956 brought with it the success Ariel had been seeking, their new signing winning the Cotswold and Greensmith trials. For the next few seasons the HT5 was the class of the field. Arguably the most capable of the 'heavyweight' trials irons, the HT5 disappeared along with the other Ariel four-strokes in 1959 after only 450-or-so had been made, though Sammy Miller's famous and much modified example - 'GOV 132' - would continue winning at the highest level well into the 1960s. Great Britain's entry in the 1958 International Six Days Trial (ISDT) in West Germany included the Ariel HT5 offered here, which was ridden by Ron Langston as part of the Vase A Team. Although the efforts of GB's Trophy and Vase Teams were thwarted by machine failures, there were some notable individual performances, among them Langston's, who finished with no marks lost and a coveted Gold Medal. It must have been close run thing, though, as the Ariel Team's bikes suffered frame cracks at the headstock on the fifth day and only made it to the finish thanks to jury-rigged repairs. All the frames were replaced back at the factory.Previous owner Bob Gardiner purchased this historic ISDT Ariel at Brooks' sale of the Autokraft Collection at the RAF Museum, Hendon in March 1999 (Lot 24, catalogue on file). After many years in obscurity, 'XOB 440' had re-emerged in 1986, appearing in The Classic Motor Cycle's November issue (copy on file). Then owned by Phil Ives, it had been restored by its previous owner and was in one-day trials trim. Ives then set about acquiring the many missing parts necessary to return 'XOB 440' to ISDT specification and, at the time of the article's publication, the machine was not yet finished. It is not known when the project was completed, or the machine acquired by Autokraft. In April 2019 the ex-Langston Ariel was sold at Bonhams' Stafford sale (Lot 311) and shortly thereafter was acquired by the current vendor (purchase receipt on file). As presented here, 'XOB 440' displays many of the features that differentiated the ISDT HT5 from its one-day trials counterpart: dual seat, tyre inflator, paired control cables, and front tyre 'mud claw' among others. It should be noted that the engine number is that of a roadster Red Hunter, possibly indicating an engine or crankcase swap. Accompanying documentation includes hand-written notes, a selection of photographs, photocopied literature, and old/current V5C Registration Certificates.Footnotes:As 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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of a deceased's estate 1919 Calthorpe-JAP 2¾hp LightweightRegistration no. AX 1617Frame no. 151AEngine no. U417Manufactured by the Minstrel & Rea Cycle Company of Birmingham, the first Calthorpe motorcycle appeared in 1909 powered by a 3½hp White & Poppe engine. The following year there were no fewer than six Calthorpe models displayed at the Motor Cycle Show at Olympia, some of which featured an 'free' engine clutch and two-speed gear. Precision-engined models, including a 5/6hp v-twin, joined the line-up a few years later together with an overhead-valve 'Tourist Trophy' model. By 1919 the company name had changed to The Calthorpe Motor Cycle Company and the range had shrunk to just two lightweight models: a 293cc (2¾hp) JAP and a Peco-powered two-stroke, the former priced at 57 guineas. Dating from 1919, this Calthorpe is powered by a single-cylinder, sidevalve JAP engine and has the two-speed Enfield transmission with clutch-less 'tram-handle' control, and belt final drive. An older restoration, the machine was purchased by the late owner at Bonhams' Stafford Sale in October 2006 (Lot 586) since when it has been dry stored as part of a small private collection (the last tax disc expired in 2007). The machine will require re-commissioning and the customary safety checks before returning to the road. Accompanying paperwork includes copies of marque related literature; some expired MoTs; a hand-written 'riding log book'; and old/current V5C documents.

Property of a deceased's estate c.1957 Norton 350cc Manx Racing MotorcycleFrame no. M10M 73811Engine no. 11M 78809 (also stamped BEART and 1957)•Reputedly raced by Terry Shepherd at the 1958 Isle of Man TT•Francis Beart engine•Present ownership since 1981/1982•Professionally restored since it retired from racingWhen 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 '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. Loved and admired by all that have ridden one, the Manx Norton in its many forms is a mainstay of today's classic racing scene.Reputedly raced by Terry Shepherd at the Isle of Man TT in 1958, a year in which he finished 4th in the Junior but retired from the Senior event, this Manx Norton incorporates a '500' frame and a 350cc engine: the latter stamped 'BEART' and '1957' in addition to the factory number. 'BEART', of course, stands for the legendary Manx Norton tuner Francis Beart, who sponsored and supplied engines to many of the UK's star riders, including Terry Shepherd. Though a noted Brooklands tuner, Beart's reputation was founded post-WW2 with Manx Nortons, latterly instantly identifiable in Ford's Ludlow Green livery. Arguably the most celebrated of all Norton tuners, Beart collected an unsurpassed total of 11 Manx GP wins plus ten 2nd and three 3rd places; he preferred longer, public roads events like the Isle of Man, where reliability counted for as much as speed. The Manx was purchased by its late owner circa 1981/1982 and raced by him in classic events until replaced with replica Lancefield and Summerfield Manxes. When the machine was 'retired', the owner had it restored; renowned tuner Phil Kettle being entrusted with the engine rebuild. Subsequently the Manx took part in the last 'Festival of 1000 Bikes' to be held at Brands Hatch and came away with a trophy for 'Best Solo' despite not being entered in the concours! The Manx went on to feature in Classic Bike magazine (May 2008 edition, copy article available).
