c.1929 Rudge Whitworth Four-valveRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 33668Engine no. 54287 / 54243From the first, Rudge adopted state-of-the-art ideas, such as the inlet-over-exhaust design for cylinder heads. They followed with the Rudge-Multi variable gear, and, only three years after making their first motorcycle, won the Senior Isle of Man TT in 1914. They were early adopters of technology and were one of the first to provide a four-speed gearbox, four-valve cylinder heads, and interconnected brakes, not to mention the lever-operated centre stand. The sports model was the 499cc Ulster, so named following the firm's win in the Ulster Grand prix in 1928. Parallel four valve heads featured on the 500s and 350s from 1924, and for 1931 the four valve radial head was also adopted for some of the models. Little is known of the history of 33668, which is part of a deceased estate, except that it seems to have entered the present ownership in March 1978; although at that time it was accompanied by an unrelated log book. At the time of cataloguing, we are uncertain whether it is a 350 or 500 model. It has been standing for many years, will require extensive re-commissioning or restoration, and is sold strictly as viewed. We have no knowledge of its mechanical condition, except that the engine does not turn over. There are no documents with the machine. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the age, completeness and originality of the machine, together with the vintage and compatibility of its component parts prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1937 Vincent-HRD 498cc Series-A CometRegistration no. BUP 616Frame no. D1272 Rear Frame no. D1272Engine no. C420 Crankcase Mating no. 6/6• Rare Series A• Matching engine, upper frame, rear frame and gearbox• Superb restoration• Awarded Best Post Vintage machine at Stafford showAfter an initial flirtation with Swiss-made MAG engines, Philip Vincent settled on JAP engines, as his predecessor had, and introduced his trademark rear-sprung frame. A Rudge 'Python' engine was offered as an alternative to the JAP, but, unimpressed by the standard of 'bought-in' engines, Vincent and fellow engineer Phil Irving designed their own engine for 1934, with their high-camshaft layout. Initial models with this engine were the Meteor and Comet, later variations being the Comet Special and the TT model. The Rapide twin was to follow in 1936, but production lasted only until war broke out in 1939.The vendor purchased 'BUP 616' in 2007 (sales receipt on file), in complete running order, but in need of attention. He therefore set about a complete restoration of the machine to his usual high standard. The machine was completely stripped, and all the cycle parts were refurbished and repainted, as necessary. Parts were re-chromed or replaced, and the petrol tank refurbishment was entrusted to specialists Lewis and Templeton. The engine and gearbox were stripped as needed and rebuilt as necessary. The bottom end of the engine was found to be sound and, not requiring any attention, was left undisturbed. The owner advises that the cylinder head was totally refurbished. The Miller Dynomag and Amal carburettor were both reconditioned by specialists, as were the Smiths clock and speedometer. Completing the restoration in 2009, the vendor exhibited the Comet at the Stafford show in April 2009, where it was awarded Best Post-Vintage machine. The owner covered approximately 100 shakedown miles on BUP before placing the machine on display at the Lakeland Motor Museum, where it has remained since. The engine has been turned over at regular intervals and will require modest recommissioning if a new owner is to use it on the road.The history file includes photocopies of the Engine Specification Sheet and Works Order Form, which detail that this Comet was despatched on 14th February 1937 to Mr. W. Parvis, equipped with Amal carburettor, Miller Dynomag, TT handlebars, 120mph speedometer, Dunlop saddle and pillion seat. It still has the original engine, upper frame, rear frame, and gearbox, and was registered in Durham in February 1937. Other documentation accompanying 'BUP 616' includes a current V5C, an old-type V5C, an old V5, a duplicate VE60 green logbook dating from June 1970, an original instruction book, reproduction sales brochure, photocopy parts list, and various invoices and receipts, together with sundry papers.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1914 Brough 497cc Model HRegistration no. L 734Frame no. 1116Engine no. 336•Believed the oldest survivor of its type•Rediscovered in the mid-1970s and restored•Acquired by the National Motorcycle Museum circa 1989Father of the better-known George, engineer William E Brough had already built a light car and a tricycle at his Nottingham workshop before completing his first motorcycle in 1902. Single-cylinder, v-twin and horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engines were used prior to WWI, though only the latter type was used post-war. Brough's first 'flat twin', an overhead-valve 497cc (3½hp) two-speeder, was developed in 1912 and launched in September 1913 as a 1914 model. It occupied the middle of the Brough range, priced at £56 10s compared to the 6hp v-twin at £72 10s and the 3½hp single at £46. Immensely proud of his new creation, William Brough wrote: 'The beautiful, sweet running of the new Twin Engine has placed it far ahead of any design at present on the market.' Three versions of the Model H were on offer for 1915. Production recommenced post-war, but the Model H was swiftly superseded by the larger (692cc) sidevalve Model G. Faced with increasingly difficult trading conditions, William Brough's company ceased motorcycle production in 1925, leaving his son's Brough Superiors to carry on the family tradition. Believed the oldest survivor of its type, this rare Brough Model H carries a supplier's plaque from J M Jones, Motor Engineer of Tryal Garage & Motor Works, Cribyn, Llanybyther. First registered in Cardiff, Glamorgan in December 1914, 'L 734' spent the first 60 years of it life in Wales. This motorcycle is one of two W E Broughs found in 1974, the other being a 1915 model. They were discovered by John Greenland who recounts that they were found intact and 100% original, having not been used since the 1920s (letter on file). John Greenland went onto restore 'L 734' over the succeeding decade and sold the Brough to the National Motorcycle Museum circa 1989. The accompanying history file is substantial, and prospective purchasers are urged to take the opportunity to examine it. It contains assorted correspondence; period b/w photographs; and old-style V5C document; a quantity of photocopied in-period magazine articles; and a photocopied manufacturer's brochure. Very nicely presented, this machine represents an exciting opportunity to acquire one of the rarest flat-tank models of the Vintage era with the added prestige of being one of the 'original' Broughs. 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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1928 Rex-Acme 350cc TT SportsRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 40322Engine no. CP 378•Vintage-era sports roadster from one of Britain's premier makes•Blackburne OHV engine•Restored to concours condition in 2020An innovative marque from the time of its inception in 1899 as a motor manufacturer, Rex demonstrated its first motorcycle in 1900 while continuing to make automobiles and tricars. The Coventry-based firm was soon active in all types of motorcycle competition, including the inaugural 1907 Isle of Man TT where Billy Heaton's sprung-fork Rex finished 2nd in the twin-cylinder class. Prior to that Rex had exploited the valuable publicity that accrued from the popular long-distance events of the day, in particular the famous Land's End to John O'Groats journey between the most southerly and northerly parts of mainland Britain. Brothers Billy and Harold Williamson were in charge of Rex at this time, as managing and sales directors respectively, and it was the latter who in 1904 established a new record for this 880-mile marathon, which in those days involved travel over rough, un-surfaced and often treacherous roads. Riding a 3¼hp (approximately 380cc) Rex, Williamson took 48 hours 36 minutes, which included lengthy stops to repair punctures, beating the existing mark by 2½ hours. Rex continued manufacturing its own power units until the early 1920s, after which proprietary engines became the norm. By this time neighbours Coventry Acme had been taken over and in the next few years the ranges were rationalised, the 'Rex-Acme' name being adopted in 1921. In 1923 the firm signed rising star Walter Handley, a move that would set Rex-Acme on the road to racing success in Grands Prix and at the Isle of Man TT. With some justification the firm incorporated the 'Three Legs of Man' into its tank badge. Handley's 1927 Senior win was to prove Rex-Acme's swansong TT victory, for despite all its racetrack successes the firm became a casualty of the Depression, and although there was a brief revival was gone for good by 1933. This Blackburne-engined Rex-Acme TT Sports was completely restored in 2020 by the current vendor. The machine had had various owners prior to purchase and was largely complete and in sound condition when found. Works undertaken included rebuilding the engine, gearbox and running gear, and nickel plating the brightwork; the result being a machine worthy of exhibition at any Concours d'Élégance. We are advised by the vendor that the Rex starts readily and is a delight to ride; indeed, he last rode it in May of this year. A full photographic record of the restoration, including 'before' and 'after' images, is offered with machine.

Property of a deceased's estate 1930 Scott 596cc Flying Squirrel De Luxe Registration no. 8063 MN (IOM see text)Frame no. 37Engine no. FY3521A•The 1930 Olympia Show machine•Long term enthusiast ownership from 1966 – 2020•1931 model but eligible for the Banbury Run and other vintage events•An eye catching and rare ScottScotts have always been different from more mainstream motorcycles in much the same way as Bugattis in the world of vintage cars – indeed the Scott/Bugatti comparison is one that has been made many times before. From the very beginning in 1908 Scotts have attracted a following bordering on the fanatical. It was at the 1931 Manx Grand Prix that the well-known racer Noel Mavrogordato was advised that he could win quite easily if he rode a Norton. His response was that he knew this, but he would rather lose on a Scott.The factory's 1931 sales brochure relates that the 'new type Flying Squirrel Model for 1931' was developed from the previous year's Sprint Special model. The major change was the adoption of the Sprint's slightly lighter single downtube frame. There were two variants of the new Flyer: the more basic Tourer, and the more highly specified De Luxe which is the model offered here. Amongst the features of the De Luxe were Scott's own 'kite' forks and an Enfield rear wheel with its cush-drive. Both new Flyers featured a new chrome plated petrol tank whose shape mimicked that of the ongoing TT Replica model.A letter dated 23.6.99 from the late John Underhill, then registrar of the Scott Owners Club, is supplied with this machine in which he confirms that the frame and engine number are the original pairing, and that 'It was despatched from the factory to Kitsons London on 5/11/30 and was in fact one of the 1930 show models.'The late owner acquired the Scott in January 1966 and used it as his daily transport for many years. Perhaps he already had a rebuild in mind, and this may have been the reason for consulting John Underhill, but John's letter with its detailed information certainly steered the direction of the restoration. We understand that the work, including an engine rebuild, was carried out about twenty years ago. Specialist tasks were farmed out, but there is no supporting paperwork. The tank work was by Terry Hall, and it was suitably decorated by Alan Templeton. We understand that the Pilgrim pump was modified to drip feed operation for more reliable engine lubrication. This is a known and respected modification.The machine is presently registered in the IOM (8063 MN) and was previously UK registered 'GK 2003'. Sadly GK 2003 has lapsed from the DVLA/HPI databases, therefore UK purchasers will need to re-register the machine for use on UK roads. Documentation includes a Manx registration certificate, an older Manx buff logbook, and a VMCC extract from the works records. Following a period of inactivity recommissioning is recommended. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf. A fee of £250 + VAT to do so will be added to the Buyer's invoice.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1937 Norton 490cc Model 18Registration no. GME 342Frame no. 81501Engine no. 79065Newly introduced for 1923, Norton's Model 18 overhead-valve sports roadster retained its essentially Vintage characteristics until 1931 when the range was extensively redesigned, dry-sump lubrication and rear-mounted magneto being standardised, the most obvious external alteration in its appearance before then being the 'saddle' tank adopted for 1929. Numerous improvements were made to the engine throughout the 1930s, including enclosure of the valve gear, while Norton's own four-speed foot-change gearbox replaced the old Sturmey Archer in 1935. This Model 18 was acquired by the vendor from the original owner in 1988 and subsequently restored by Brian Kettle between November 1996 and August 1997. Used sparingly and always stored in a dry garage, 'GME 942' is presented in very good condition throughout and is a very useable 'older restoration' machine, having recently benefited from a magneto rewind. Last run in April 2021, the machine is offered with a most substantial history file (inspection recommended), the contents of which include a selection of photographs; instruction manuals; a dating letter; sundry bills; DVLA correspondence; and old/current V5/V5C documents. It also comes with an award for 'Pre-1945 Single – Runner Up', presented by Geoff Duke OBE at the VMCC's Norton Day in June 1998. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1928 BSA 493cc Overhead-valve Twin-port 'Sloper'Registration no. DS 9564Frame no. RD723244 and P7358 (see text)Engine no. P12698Introduced in 1910, the first series-production motorcycle to feature BSA's distinctive green and cream tank colours was a 499cc (3½hp) sidevalve single. Well engineered and equally well made, that first BSA proved an enormous success and effectively established the company's reputation as a maker of high quality motorcycles. Introduced for the 1927 season, the influential 'Sloper' started a trend which saw many of BSA's competitors adopt inclined motors. The Sloper featured a trend-setting saddle tank that afforded a low seating position, while models with the 493cc overhead-valve engine came with twin-port cylinder heads. The Sloper range remained essentially Vintage in character until its demise in 1935, by which time the line-up had shrunk to just two 595cc models: one overhead-valve, the other sidevalve. A 1929 model first registered in December 1928, this overhead-valve Sloper was purchased by the vendor's late father in 1995 and subsequently restored. Kept in a dry heated garage, the BSA was last used in 2012 and is presented in very good condition throughout. Re-commissioning and the customary safety checks will be required before returning it to the road. The machine is offered with a quantity of expired MoTs; an old V5; and a current V5C document. It should be noted that this motorcycle has been stamped with two frame numbers: 'P7358' and the non-factory 'RD723224', the latter being that recorded on the V5C.

1928 AJS 495cc K10 with Swinging-arm ConversionRegistration no. TK 649 (see text)Frame no. to be advisedEngine no. 10/120056•Rare Vintage-era overhead-camshaft sports model•Present ownership since 1990•Offered for restorationOriginally manufacturers of proprietary engines, the Stevens brothers of Wolverhampton introduced the first AJS motorcycle in 1911. Those first AJS machines were sidevalve-engined lightweights offered with belt-drive transmission or optional all-chain drive with a two-speed countershaft gearbox. This latter feature enabled them to put up a good showing in the Isle of Man TT's new Junior Class, an event AJS would later dominate. Eric Williams scored the marque's maiden Junior TT victory in 1914, and the first post-war Junior event saw the new overhead-valve AJS in commanding form. Indeed, so good was the newcomer that Howard Davies rode it to a unique double victory the following year, winning both the Junior and Senior TTs. In 1927 AJS's works 350cc racers appeared with a new overhead-camshaft engine. The camshaft was chain driven, its distinctive cast alloy case extending forwards to the front-mounted magneto. A catalogued model from 1928, the 'cammy' AJS was built in 350 and 500cc capacities initially, dry-sump lubrication being an unusual feature of the engines, which were carried in open diamond frames. A 250cc version followed, Jimmy Guthrie winning the Lightweight TT on one in 1930. Produced for only four seasons, the AJS overhead-camshaft racers were casualties of the Matchless take-over in 1931. Purchased at a UK auction in February 1990 (invoice on file), this AJS K10 project comes with an old-style continuation logbook (1949) and a (part) old-style V5 document. However, it cannot be ascertained whether or not these documents relate to this motorcycle as the frame number has been obscured by the swinging-arm conversion. In any case, the registration 'TK 649' is not listed in the HPI database; accordingly, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding. Overhead-camshaft racing motorcycles of the Vintage period are rare, which makes this challenging AJS K10 project an exciting prospect for the dedicated motorcycle restorer. Sold strictly as viewed.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
