Registration No: PX13 KJZ Frame No: SMTTF6885JE597363 Engine No: 598662 CC: 1050 MOT: NoneThis Sprint GT 1050 is in immaculate conditionFastidiously maintained to a high standardHandbooks and 2 sets of keysCurrent V5C on fileIn 2010, the Triumph Sprint GT (Grand Tourer) was launched with a change of emphasis. Compared to the class-leading ST (Sports Tourer), the GT was more focused on two-up touring, with a longer wheelbase, more weight and a better pillion provision. The longer chassis allowed pillion footpegs to be repositioned to be more accommodating for a passenger. Removing the ST's under-seat silencers to a conventional position allowed the reshaped pillion seat to be lower. Uprated hard panniers were a standard fitting. These panniers were more robust and much larger than the previous STsFirst registered in June of 2013, this 8,000 miles from new 2013 Triumph Sprint GT 1050 has been extremely well looked after. The machine comes to sale complete with all its luggage carriers and sets of keys and in what could be described as superb running order. It has been treated to Halo Smart Protection for several years to keep all the paintwork etc in the best condition. Described by the vendor in ‘as new’ condition, it presents immaculately and will be offered with, 2 sets of keys, the handbooks, a sales booklet and some old MOTs and the current V5C.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: T.B.A Engine No: T.B.A CC: 98 MOT: ExemptA rare war-time survivorUsed in the ‘Foyles War’ TV DramaPart of a collection of motorcyclesNo documentationWanderer was a German manufacturer of bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles, vans and other machinery. Established as Winklhofer & Jaenicke in 1896 by Johann Baptist Winklhofer and Richard Adolf Jaenicke, the company used the Wanderer brand name from 1911, making civilian automobiles until 1941 and military vehicles until 1945. Wanderer was last active as a financial holding company without its own business operations and went bankrupt in July 2010. The brand was then acquired by Cologne-based manufacturer Zweirad Einkaufs Genossenschaft. The car division with its Siegmar factory became part of Auto Union together with Horch, Audi and DKW.Here you can see is a restored Wanderer SP1 manufactured in 1939. The motorcycle is of 98cc, with two gears and moves well according to the vendor. He also states “We made a complete restoration and saved many of the original details. We had to make some missing ones, but for this we used original models, some of them found in a pretty bad condition. We painted it in the original colour range and made all the lines and inscriptions as it was done in 1939, in the production of this motorcycle”. There is no documentation with this lot.

After mainly producing single cylinder designs for their road bikes Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive V-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design from the sporty Le Mans models to the custom Californias. The V35 and V50 models were launched as lightweight versions of the bigger capacity V-twins eventually growing to 750cc, introducing an entirely new group of riders to the mystique and cachet of the Moto Guzzi brand.This is the quite rare 750cc custom version of the lightweight Guzzi V-twin range, still featuring the classic shaft drive transverse engine layout they have become famous for. It comes fitted with some nice accessories including a chrome rear carrier/backrest, chrome engine bars and Oxford heated grips. A good useable future classic with a low seat height and electric starter, supplied with a few old MOTs and a current V5C.

Registration No: WXG 936 Frame No: T1P02 7010 Engine No: T1P02 7053 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptExceptional restored conditionWithin the first 2100 Lambrettas ever madeCorrect numbers.76 years old and a very rare modelV5C for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta Model A or 125M as it was first called, was the first ever Lambretta launched on October 1947 and so began the legend that is Lambretta. During its sole year in production only 9669 were produced and it was subject to dozens of modifications in this short time. The 125M was never exported, had a 125cc engine, 3 speed gearbox and foot operated gear change. It has no suspension except a rubber block at the front. It had 7 inch wheels, later changed to 8 inch on the model B. Many of the parts were chrome plated and the overall design was extremely elegant, particularly the deco-style gear shift guide and the sweeping front mudguard. These machines are now very rare and there are very few registered for the road in the UK.Chassis number 7010 (numbering started at 5001). This extremely well-restored example in the correct colour and using the original parts or quality NOS replacements as specified by Casa Lambretta. One must remember that until only recent times new 7 inch tyres of the specification were impossible to find and remade parts were not in production. The scooter was sought out in Italy by avid collector and perfectionist Craig Robinson who acted fast to secure this fine example circa 2013. Our vendor was able to acquire it in 2021.We were able to see the scooter in full working condition at the time of consignment and as one can see from the photographs and accompanying video the condition is exceptional. These 1940s Lambrettas are tipped for rocketing collectability in the future and good examples are becoming hard to find and seldom come onto the market. Also supplied with the scooter is an exact replica handbook as reproduced by Tino Sacchi and the original sales brochure in first reprint with the number stamp which is also collectible in itself.

Registration No: KFP 209P Frame No: 131591 Engine No: 33070 CC: 850 MOT: ExemptJust two owners from newLong-term second ownership 35 yearsMostly original from newOld V5 and current V5C on fileThe Norton Commando is a British Norton-Villiers motorcycle with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, produced from 1967 until 1977. Initially with 750cc (745cc), in 1973 it became 850cc (828cc). The larger 850 engine was introduced initially as an alternative to the 750, but as the sole option from late 1973. All 850 models were fitted with a front disc brake. During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the UK it won the Motor Cycle News "Machine of the Year" award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Around 60,000 Commandos were made in total.This 1975 Norton Commando 850 was purchased by the late owner in 1978 (receipt on file) The original owner was a policeman who used to ride Commandos in the force and when he retired he purchased this machine as new. After short-term ownership, it was then purchased by the late owner from Arther Prince in Loughborough for the sum of £795.00. The late vendor used the Norton more or less every day until 1981 when he decided that it was time to purchase a car. Then placed in the garage, it was started up from time to time to keep it in good order. Sadly, due the the vendor’s passing, the family has decided that it is time for someone to take over the Norton and get it back on the road again. The engine turns over with compression and moves with ease. Full recommissioning will be required before use. It comes complete with a current V5C, a 1978 bill of sale, and a Norton Commando workshop manual. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: OAO 13 Frame No: RS4233 Engine No: MSS11624 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptOwned by a Velocette enthusiast for the last 29 yearsFitted with an Alton Electric Starter and 12v alternatorSupplied with a RF60, paperwork file, manuals and a V5CVelocettes were produced by Veloce Ltd in Hall Green, Birmingham between 1904 and 1971. Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid 1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles and its legendary, and still-unbeaten, record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single cylinder machine. The MSS was the predecessor to the Venom and Thruxton models.This MSS was bought by the vendor, an engineer, in 1995 and restored and maintained by him for use on many rallies over the years, very often with his equally enthusiastic wife on the pillion. The bike has completed the Bromyard to Bangor Bash through Snowdonia National Park and the National Munster Trial, approx. 800 miles of mountain tracks and passes. In 2015 he fitted an Alton Electric Start and 12v Alternator kit so he could keep riding, a modification that would now cost over £2000. Unfortunately due to ill health he can no longer ride so its time to let someone else have the pleasure. Not run for a couple of years it will need some recommissioning and comes supplied with its original buff log book, a large paperwork file of invoices accumulated over the years, old MOTs, various manuals, parts removed when fitting the electric start kit and a current V5C.

Registration No: HCC 7G Frame No: DC15028 Engine No: DC15028 CC: 250 MOT: Exempt1 of c.450 producedVery tidy condition machine for the BSA collectorReported to be in good running orderA less sporty version of the B25 Starfire and C25 Barracuda was the B25FS Fleetstar, introduced in 1969 to appeal to fleet customers such as the police. The machine had painted, valance mudguards and a more conventional steel tank. Various accessories such as fairings, leg-guards and panniers could be fitted dependent on the purchaser's requirements. Around 450 Fleetstars were manufactured, about 250 these being sold to the police.An exceedingly rare machine, being one of approximately c.450 examples produced by BSA. The V5C confirms the machine was first registered in 1969 and records only 3 former keepers. A not to be missed opportunity for the serious BSA collector!

Registration No: PXS 989 Frame No: 16728 Engine No: T1POB 16899 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptPLEASE NOTE: The reserve has been reduced.Extremely originalCorrect numbersV5C for UK roadsThe Lambretta Model B was first introduced in the November 1948 and represented numerous and substantial improvements over the preceding Model A. The wheels were increased to 8 inch as opposed to the previous 7 inch, a larger fuel tank, more efficient suspension and the adoption of a Teleflex hand gear change instead of the previous foot change system. Around 37,000 were produced in total in the 15 months the B was in production.This 1949 example was first registered in Milan the home city of the Lambretta and is supplied with its original Italian Milano ‘Targa’ number plate. Now UK registered to use on the roads here. It is roughly mid production and has the glass rear light lens (later models had plastic) and the bakelite Model A type light switch on the headlight. It is extremely original and on examination of the photographs one will see this. According to the vendor the fuel tank was cleaned internally, the carburettor was electrostatically cleaned and the scooter was fired with new tyres and fuel tap. The original flywheel was re-magnetised and the whole system is standard and still on original 6v electrics. The coil was replaced with a NOS original. The sooner had not been started for some considerable time but we were able to see it briefly running at the time of consignment. It will probably need another fuel service after not being used for some time. The seats are in good usable condition the rear one being an aftermarket accessory seat. The scooter also comes with an original user manual in Italian (not a copy) which is a valuable document in itself.

Registration No: UK 4791 Frame No: 3100 (Not visible) Engine No: KT/U14211B CC: 980 MOT: ExemptRecently found in an old coal bunkerGood basis for a restorationOffered with a current V5CA worthwhile project and engine turns overMarston Limited, the manufacturer of Sunbeam motorcycles in Wolverhampton, England, ceased civilian production under orders from the British Ministry of Munitions. Consequently, all motorcycles available to the public in 1917 and 1918 were essentially rebranded versions of the existing 1916 models, while newly manufactured machines were exclusively allocated for military use. Sunbeam motorcycles, powered by a robust 8hp JAP motor, earned a reputation as "heavyweights" designed for towing sidecars, a notable achievement for the time. Serving admirably in military roles during the Great War and later demonstrating their versatility in civilian and commercial settings, this engine remained integral to Sunbeam motorcycles until 1923.This 1917 Sunbeam 8HP was originally produced for the Russian Army but was never used and ended up in civilian use. This particular Sunbeam on offer was found in a coal bunker with parts laid around it. It seems that someone started a restoration years ago before the project stalled. This would make an interesting project for someone to carry on and complete with just a few examples of this model known to exist. Most parts appear to be there, but other parts will need to be gathered to finish the project. All parts that are offered with the machine can be seen in the photographs. It is being offered with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: WWU 641J Frame No: CB500-1003494 Engine No: CB500E-1003807 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptEarly CB500 K0 model restored at great expenseFitted with a genuine Honda HM323 exhaust systemSupplied with numerous receipts and current V5CThis Honda was purchased in 2019 by a retired Engineer with over 50 years of experience who has a passion for mechanical engineering and vehicle restoration. This is the latest project from a line of restorations that include several British and Japanese motorcycles and cars. This original K0 variant had been imported from South Dakota in the USA and required a full restoration. The mileometer had just over 12,000 miles displayed which is believed to be accurate based on the fact that there was very little wear to the engine. The bike was fully stripped down and all parts were examined, restored or replaced. There is a huge library of receipts amounting to thousands of pounds from reputable retailers and Honda specialists.The renovation has been completed to the original US specification, such as retaining the slightly higher (and very comfortable) handlebars so that it remains true to its original specification (the K0 was not originally imported to the UK). After measuring the bores it was confirmed that the engine had not been bored out previously and the bores were in perfect condition. The top end was rebuilt using high quality parts including new pistons and rings and the bottom end was inspected and found to be in good order. The carburettors were stripped, ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt using new jets and needles. The frame and its components were sent away for powder coating, the head stock bearings were replaced and forks refurbished including new seals and stanchions. The electrical system was fully overhauled and the switchgear renovated. A new battery was fitted and an Optimate lead installed to maintain the battery through the winter if the bike isn't being used. The chain and sprockets were replaced with good quality D.I.D components. All the chrome work was re-chromed at Howells of Walsall which is a business held in high regard within the classic vehicle restoration world. The wheels were refurbished with new rims and spokes and new tyres and tubes in the original sizes. The wheel bearings were replaced and brakes fully overhauled with the rear brake drum skimmed due to slight ovality.Most importantly, the vendor managed to acquire a full set of new old stock Honda HM323 exhausts at great expense which were still in the original boxes plus a new old stock petrol tank and side panels from a friend who had them in storage for a number of years. A local bodywork specialist who works for a number of British Superbike teams painted the tank and side panels in the original colour which looks beautiful especially when the sun is shining. The bike runs beautifully and has completed roughly 200 miles since restoration and is now ready to be enjoyed throughout the Summer. The vendor is planning to ride the bike to the auction venue and it comes supplied with numerous receipts and a current V5C.

It was run by various brothers from the Newman family. Ivy built about 6,000 motorcycles of various models. Most used two-stroke engines made by either JAP or Precision, but there were also 225cc and 296cc engines designed and manufactured by Ivy and well respected in the period for being of robust construction and reliability with Ivy publicity material even suggesting their TT entries were still in standard tune. The company also made its own suspension forks, carburettors and sidecars. The company was heavily involved in motorcycle racing.This 1924 Ivy Three two-stroke 350 single presents as an older restoration and is still in tidy condition today. Well-equipped for such a machine, and reported to be in running order, ‘DS’ was last ran a couple of years ago and the vendor advises usual recommissioning checks prior to use. ‘DS’ represents a good opportunity to acquire a manageable and eminently useable machine of the period with a relatively low seating position and the promise of a lively performance!

The engine was an air-cooled twin, four-stroke. The XS 500C was the revamped-for-1976 model and came with something resembling more style and better durability. The first models had some problems with warping valve seats, so later cylinder heads were changed to round exhaust ports to help the heat dissipate.This 1977 Yamaha XS 500 (believed to be the C model) has had a full restoration at a total of £15,414.19 during 2013. The XS 500 has since been featured in the classic bike guide with a seven-page spread.

Harley epitomizes large-capacity cruisers that many have tried to copy but have never managed to match Harley's image and prestige. The Sportster range has been produced continuously since 1957, powered by the classic air-cooled V-twin engine in a nice simple chassis.

In a remarkable recovery effort, production resumed at an old foundry works in Warwick, which commenced the manufacturing of motorcycles in June 1941. Tailored explicitly for military use, the 3HW drew its lineage from the pre-war 3H model. Noteworthy changes included a rocker box integrated with the head, a departure from the pre-war machines that featured separate rocker boxes. Approximately 40,000 units of the 3HW were manufactured to support wartime endeavours. These motorcycles played a vital role in various campaigns, with notable deployments in North Africa, India, and Greece. Impressively versatile, the 3HW became an integral asset to the Greek Army, remaining in service until 1952, underscoring its enduring reliability and strategic significance in military operations.This Triumph 3HW has been restored to a good standard to full army specification. Great attention to detail has been applied by the restorer of this machine. It has been in short-term storage in the house and was running very well before then. The current vendor obtained an appropriate British Army uniform that accompanies, as seen in the pictures. It comes complete with a dating letter from the late Mike Worthington Williams, a current V5C and receipts for parts.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Z50J-1419096 Engine No: Z50JE-1419113 CC: 50 MOT: ExemptRESERVE REDUCEDThe Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world and have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. One of their most distinctive and best loved designs is the Z series of small wheeled minibikes that came to be known as Monkey bikes because those riding them "looked like Monkeys". The first version of the Honda Z-series was the 1961 prototype Honda Z100, originally produced as a children's ride at the Tama Tech Japanese amusement park and was eventually refined and put into mass production in 1964.The Monkey bike has seen several different variations over its 40+ years of production, the Gorilla being one of them, a more aggressively styled and chunky looking bike. This circa 1981 Z50 Gorilla was imported into the UK in 2006 and whilst not registered comes with its 2006 customs declaration showing duties paid at the time. Part of a private collection, the vendor is now downsizing to make a bit of space in his garage. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Registration No: K571 BDB Frame No: VSR1T3025959 Engine No: VSR1M30280 CC: 200 MOT: ExemptLow mileage only 3,857 miles believed genuine The Cosa is the theme model of The Vespa Club of Britain for 2024Seldom seen for saleExtremely originalV5C for use on UK roadsThe 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 but the end of the line was near and when the last stock was sold and no more 2 stroke PX models were to be produced. Production of the P range ended completely in early 2017 as the engine would fail to meet Euro 4 compliance emission requirements. During the production run there were several variations on the theme and one of them the COSA embraced the late 1980s style of the day and included some interesting technical variations. The first version COSAs were introduced in 1988 with a modified clutch that was easier to use than the P200. It had a modified tail light and a seat lock located on the side of the wider saddle. It had a more powerful engine than the P range and new instrumentation including a rev counter. It had a more streamlined shape than the P range and small improvements included the recessed indicators. The main safety difference was hydraulic brakes distributed through both wheels by an hydraulic circuit and a pressure regulator. The COSA 2 launched in 1992 uprated the brakes even further with an EBD device to prevent the brakes locking. The saddle had 2 offset levels with the pillion sitting higher.This Cosa Series 2 was purchased by our vendor in 1995 from a neighbour in almost new condition with only 3,843 miles on the speedometer. He never used. It was put into a barn and forgotten until now. The MOT from 1993 and the current mileage confirm in our opinion the low mileage as correct. It is showing signs of having stood for some time but is rust-free showing some scratches from being moved. No attempt was made to start the scooter at the time of consignment. Interestingly the Cosa is the model of the year for 2024 of The Vespa Club of Britain and the one used on the 2024 badges is the same colour as this example!

Some 7 months after the TV175 series 1 was launched. By then Innocenti had eliminated most of the engine problems that the 175 had. The Li 125 was a dramatic departure from the shaft driven LD range that had preceded it. The new enclosed chain driven engine was centrally positioned under the frame and had more power than the LD. With larger 10 inch wheels and beautifully designed panel work it was a superb scooter to ride and was instant hit. The Lambretta Li125 series 2 was launched in October 1959. Based on the successful series 1 with the obvious difference was the position of the headlight on the handlebars for better lighting when cornering. It had an engine based on the Li125 series 1 but with an increased stroke and several other small modifications all over the scooter that made it the best-selling Lambretta of all time.This very original machine was sourced according to our vendor via Rimini Lambretta Centre and was subject to a service there before being imported around 2020 into the UK. Originally licensed in Ancona, Italy the scooter is supplied with its original ‘Targa’ Italian number plate in addition to the UK license plate. During the service the scooter had a new rear shock fitted and new tyres. We are informed that even the piston is the original although it has had new rings fitted which are still not yet run in. The electrics are still on 6v points and all over the scooter one can see originality including the lights, carburettor and engine. The original paint shows no obvious signs of any touch ups and has a pleasant all over patina with a good condition front mudguard. The scooter has some valuable accessories including a Cavalli Falbo ‘pig nose’ horn cast embellisher, Cavalli fork covers and a top of the range Rimini leopard Pegasus seat. Other accessories are original hand and lever grips. The scooter comes with the steering lock key and is fitted with an aftermarket Li125 speedometer. We are informed by the vendor that the sooner rides really well and we were able to see the scooter running very well with no issues at the time of consignment. The original light switch has been damaged in storage and supplied is a genuine NOS replacement switch will be supplied with the lot. This scooter is ready to ride and enjoy on the road.

It is the first Japanese motorcycle with a liquid-cooled engine. The prototype Suzuki GT750 was shown at the 17th Tokyo Motor Show in October 1970 and launched in Japan in September 1971 as a sports tourer and was developed from the Suzuki T500 with an extra cylinder and liquid cooling. Marketed as the Le Mans in the US and Canada, it was nicknamed the "Kettle" in Britain, the "Water Bottle" in Australia, and the "Water Buffalo" in the United States. The first model year (1972), the GT750J, had a double-sided, twin-leading shoe, 200mm drum front brake with 180mm drum rear. The Exhaust Coupler Tube System (ECTS) that connected the left- and right-side exhausts together was designed to boost low-end torque. Carburettors were 32mm Mikuni slide type and the power output was 67bhp at 6,500This 1972 Suzuki GT750 J model is in mostly original condition for its age. A US import machine that has been ‘gone-through’, it is described by the vendor as being ‘in good running order’. The Suzuki has its original exhaust system and is in good condition. It benefits from a current V5C and NOVA paperwork. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

The new machine was intended for clubmen riders wishing to compete in off-road events and was based on the machines that the ‘works’ team had successfully campaigned in trials and the 1948 ISDT. The 500cc engine featured a square alloy barrel taken from the wartime generator engine with early models retaining the cooling shroud bosses cast into the cylinder. The engine and transmission were housed in a new, rigid, frame design which featured a shorter wheelbase than standard. A high level, Siamesed exhaust system and a quickly detachable headlamp were fitted as standard and a range of parts were made available to enable the owner to tailor the machines performance to their chosen discipline. Given the new model's origins in the ISDT it is not surprising that it quickly earnt a reputation as an excellent long distance trials machine, although it was less suited to section trials.This Triumph on offer has been with the late owner for a few years and in his ownership he has maintained it to a good standard. Having formed part of a small collection of motorcycles, it was running in the autumn of 2023 and has been kept inside a residential house since then. It may require some light checking over before use and is offered with a current V5C and some hand written notes. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Barter's defunct Light Motor Company enterprise, Barter coming to work for Douglas. Having two cylinders horizontally opposed 180 degrees to each other was much the same elegant solution to twin-cylinder engine design as adopted by over fifty other motorcycle manufacturers, although Douglas chose a longitudinal layout for their early twins. By 1910, a clearly dedicated Eli Clarke had ridden a Douglas with 35mph top speed 900 miles down the length of GB in 39 hours 40 minutes! Douglas bikes finished first and second in the 1912 Junior TT for machines up to 350cc - this was the 'in' make.This 1928 Douglas EW was purchased by the vendor in 2003 to form part of his Douglas motorcycle collection. It was purchased in a restored condition and was used for shows and events during his ownership.

Most Voskhod motorcycles had a 175cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine and between 1973 and 1979 were one of the makes marketed by SATRA in the United Kingdom as Cossack. In the 1970s the plant made over 220,000 motorcycles annually, exporting to such countries as Italy, Norway, UK and Australia.An incredible find today of a very rare Cossack twin. DVLA records show its first registration as April 1975 and subsequently taxed for just 1 year. Indicating a credible 187km, the underseat pump is still wrapped in brown tissue paper. The engine turns freely and has compression. Offered with an original dealer sales sheet and a UK supplied handbook in Russian!

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The NT650 was designed by Toshiaki Kishi and was only the second model after the RC30 to be fitted with Honda's patented "Pro-Arm" single-sided rear swinging arm. Supplied with either 400cc or 600cc engines, it was named the 'Bros' in Japan because the two different engine displacement versions were conceived together as 'brothers', it was more excitingly known as the Hawk in other markets. A very well-specified and rare bike in the UK.This 1988 model, being offered at 'no reserve', was bought by the vendor from BAT Motorcycles as a 'grey' import in 1999. Recent work includes the fitting of a 'Fuel' end can and a front and rear brake overhaul.

In 2019 he decided to rebuild it and following research, found that it had been originally registered in Buckinghamshire in 1949. The vendor was able to recover the original registration number from the DVLA and also found that the engine had originally been shipped to Northern Ireland to the originators of the Norton ‘feather bed’, the McCandless brothers.During its early years, the engine was fitted with +90 or +80 cylinder heads and has now been rebuilt with new alpha bearings crankshaft and new pistons. The wheels were rebuilt with new tyres on alloy rims, and the cycle parts were also rebuilt. Restoration to ‘clubman’ specification was almost complete, with a reconditioned dynamo and magneto being fitted and the electrics were just being sorted when Covid struck. The machine has been stored ever since and the owner is now down-sizing. A box of the remaining components with excess spare and used parts are supplied, so that the restoration of the machine can be completed, following that, it needs to be carefully run in.

However, the word cannot be over emphasised here. The question is when is a 125 Super not a 125 Super? After a call from the client we expect a large bodied Italian made machine with 8 inch wheels and not that exciting. The specimen we are presented with is the ultra rare SU66 only imported into the UK in small numbers from Spain to alleviate a temporary supply problem caused by industrial action in Italy. Motovespa from Ciudad, near Madrid had been manufacturing Vespas under license since 1956 broadly manufacturing models in line with the Italian ranges using many Italian parts and the same paint codes. The SU66 125 Super with the prefix 762 was most similar to the Italian Primavera 125 but with notable differences. The scooter had a large glove box on the inside of the leg shields and a striking spare wheel assembly around the rear light. The exhaust tailpipe also came out of the opposite side to the Italian Primavera. The UK imported versions were the only models that had a Veglia Bressel MPH speedometer. They were also made famous as the Texaco 'Tourist pilot'.Here we present an astonishing original example. It was bought for our client by his father as a surprise gift brand new from Mike Duffy Motorcycles of Sidcup Road, Eltham. The scooter was intended to help him get to college although it was used rather seldomly and has only amassed a total of 3911 miles in its life. The original old blue type log book confirms it was bought brand new and first registered on 1st October 1974. It was last used in 1977 by our client and according to him it has followed him ever since always garage stored and unused.All over the scooter we can see complete originality and the paint has no touch ups anywhere that we could see. There are no holes cut for crash bars. The engine is unmodified, the seat is the original. Full original keys are present. This exceptional Vespa is still on its original tyres. No effort was made to start the scooter at the time of consignment. This is a very rare opportunity to buy, quite possibly the best original SU66 that we or you will see for a very long time, in this condition.

These machines are the epitome of Honda's 1960s golden years. The bike still looks wonderful today and when you look back at what other manufacturers were producing at the time it is no wonder the Japanese manufacturers were so successful. These bikes need to be loved and preserved for enthusiasts now and in the future.This CB77 has been lovingly restored and is in absolute pristine condition. The engine has been completely rebuilt by professional engineers Partsmade. The hard-faced camshafts were supplied by Megacycle Cams of San Rafael, California. These cams (part no. 121/00) improved the mid-range power with good low-end response and were sent to California for the works to be carried out at significant expense. All the alloy components have been professionally polished. Instrumentation was restored by a Japanese instrument specialist and recalibrated leaving the mileage in place from my initial purchase. The Honda Owner's Club has provided a certificate of authentication verifying the serial numbers of the frame and the engine.The headers have been remade out of polished stainless steel to match the original profiles. The single repro CYB seat shell was purchased from abroad to mimic the works Honda CYB options offered at the time. Should the buyer wish to return the machine to what the original manufacturer intended many original parts will be included with the sale and comprise of the following:Twin seatRear passenger pegsPainted full-length rear fenderChrome silencersCarb tubes (original carb filters still installed in the machine)Ignition coilsOriginal gear-shift armTwo new full-carb service kits."This 1966 Honda CB77 was purchased by the current vendor from a gentleman who imported it from the United States as a complete project. Stripped and completely rebuilt at a great cost of many thousands of pounds with all receipts on file, some slight deviations from standard as in a ‘cafe racer’ style. Components have either been stripped and cleaned, rebuilt or resprayed to a high standard. We have been advised the Honda is ‘running very well’ and still needs to be run in.

The company produced motorcycles from 1952, funded by a contract with the Ministry of Pensions for their Invacar, a three-wheeler for disabled drivers. The Greeves Scottish was named in honour of Jack Simpson’s class win in the 1957 Scottish Six Days Trial and for many years it was the clubmans favourite mount. The bike went through a few updates during its eight-year production span but was distinguished by its alloy frame section and leading link forks.This 1963 Greeves Scottish is believed to have been purchased new by the late vendor. It has been used on many trials and events in the day with great success, winning many trophies. In its classic Greeves colours of a Blue frame and Silver petrol tank, it has had work carried out in ownership. It has not been run for a few years so will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a current V5C.

The scooter is extremely straight and the panels are excellent apart from the front mudguard. The extremely rare and original Covolo seat is working, with a seat catch and grab handles. Upon examination we noted that the originality is indeed impressive. The original cables appear to have never been removed. The hand levers are the correct type with the slotted cut out.

Registration No: VPE 661G Frame No: 129156 Engine No: 129156 CC: 650 MOT: ExemptOne of just 600 approximately madeFully restored at great expenseAll correct numbers machineA host of paperwork on fileCurrent V5CThe Norton 650 Mercury was the culmination of Featherbed framed bikes. Production of a mere c.600 built was organized into two batches, stored in a Plumstead building with a single entrance. Consequently, the last bikes often became the first to roll out. Mercury production commenced at number 129147 in September 1967, yet the inaugural shipment, a month later, was 129353 dispatched to Swindon Motors. The aforementioned Mercury #129147 eventually left the factory in 1969, after languishing for 18 months in storage, finding its way to Grenada via the Eastern Caribbean Commission.Standard features of basic models include painted (Atlantic Blue) mudguards, a battery box, oil tank, and primary cases, a solitary speedometer clock (sans rev counter) paired with a Silver tank. Optional upgrades encompass chromed or stainless mudguards, rev-counter parts, and the Commando twin leading-shoe front brake. Notably, the Mercury model's cylinder head and crankcases were modified Commando castings tailored to 650 specifications. Similarly, save for the main shaft, the gearbox was sourced from Commando inventory.In February 1970, the final official factory Mercury, numbered 18SS 129894, rolled off the line. Speculation swirled that the Mercury 650 was a 'parts bin' special to clear unused factory stock. However, this assertion doesn't fully capture the reality, as many major components were either bespoke or compatible as spares for earlier models. The model's Achilles heel lay in its pricing. Once outfitted with a twin leading-shoe front brake and requisite optional extras to align with the previous 650SS specifications, the final cost nearly paralleled that of a new Commando. Unsurprisingly, the Mercury struggled to find buyers, leading to production halting after fewer than 750 units, nearly matching the Manxman MkI's production figures a decade prior.This 1969 Norton 650 Mercury, #129156, is just one of approximately 600 produced. The previous owner realized he had something a bit special and decided to carry out a very extensive rebuild. The owner then researched the machine through Andover Norton who confirmed it to be a genuine machine. The Norton has had much money spent on the restoration and during the rebuild, he made two CDs of the restoration. The Norton is running very well and has been enjoyed by the current owner since in his ownership. It is offered with a file of receipts, many old tax discs, old MOT certificates, and a current V5C Registration Document.

All of the motorcycles used Villiers engines and were in production from 1947 to 1964. When Kaye Don retired, all manufacturing was sold to Smokey Dawson of DMW Motorcycles in Birmingham.Missing its horns, one knee grip, rear chain guard lower section and handlebar cover, this is otherwise a nice example of the model from that year. The Ambassador Three Star Specials produced between 1959 and 1962 all featured slight variances, but this one is correct for 1961. Purchased by the vendor as a restored example for his collection. It is not known when the vendor purchased the Ambassador for the collection but has not been used since the purchase. Sadly, there is no documentation with this lot.

A full range of 4 cylinder models from 400cc to 1100cc followed, with the shaft drive GT models becoming a favourite with despatch riders due to their long term reliability.This GT550 is presented in standard trim having had some restoration work in the past. The GT was the dispatch riders favourite so not many have survived like this one, even down to its standard exhaust system. Part of a private collection it is now being moved on to make space in the garage. It will need recommissioning and a new battery before use and comes supplied with a couple of old MOTs and a current V5C.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 22/2/258767 Engine No: SX200/258901 CC: 198 MOT: ExemptOriginal all over including paintMany important original parts unique to the ‘Electronic’ present Rare Electronic version of the design icon by Nuccio Bertone acclaimed for his designs for Ferrari and LamborghiniCorrect numbers very closeNOVA for UK registration The DL200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters that rolled off of Innocenti’s production line in Milan. Produced from January 1969 until April 1971 it is said a total of only 9350 DL/GP200s were made and less than 1000 were electronic versions. The DL200 followed the SX200 and retained the engine prefix of SX200 before the serial number. The iconic bodywork followed the trends of the day of the early 1970s. The Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors with a new 22/2 frame and rectangular headlight. There were however significant improvements to the engine over the SX including: improved crankshaft, a complete overhaul of the gearbox ratios and improved Ducati ignition. The electronic version went even further with a 6v electronic ignition and CDI unit and these today are extremely collectible. The only immediately noticeable difference between the DL and GP Electronics was the battery being absent from the DL version, and different front panel badge.This 1971 manufactured DL200 Electronic is in a challenging condition and will prove to be a project for only the most proficient Lambretta enthusiast. We can only guess what has happened to this poor machine as the frame is generally solid but looks like the scooter has misbehaved and has been attacked by a hammer. However, having said that it is in its original state and so many original and almost impossible to find parts are there and this can be clearly seen by examination of the photographs. Starting with the electrics she has 6v red original CDI 323901 with black wire and presumably the original electronic stator plate. The ignition switch is the original with key number 162 visible. The light switch is the original. The seat frame is the original Guiliari. The cables appear to have never been removed are all fastened with the correct straps and have the correct grease nipple points. The original KM speedometer is present and stopped at 10222 kms. The brake adjusters are the original late short versions found only on late GP/DLs. The plastic parts are also original black including the petrol flap. The correct ball-end levers, shark teeth and cast badges front and back are all present. The engine appears to be complete and original with correct kick start but the casing has significant damage. The carburettor and exhaust are missing but these are not hard parts to obtain. The side panels are missing but also standard DL/GP panels are identical. The front hub and disc brake all appear to be complete.This is a very rare opportunity for the most serious restorer or conservator of Lambrettas if you are up to the challenge.

The S8, without altering the basic design, incorporated slimmer wheels of then standard sports machine sizes and had narrower mudguards to suit. The lighter weight and improved handling revealed what a good machine the S8 really was and sales quickly improved.First registered on 19th January 1951 and offered from a deceased estate, the Sunbeam has been in current family ownership since 2015. There are a number of old invoices from the Sunbeam specialist Stewart Engineering, parts information, Sunbeam owner's workshop manual, maintenance manual and an original instruction manual. Also accompanying are a selection of old MOT certificates, an old buff logbook and old style V5s.

However, due to riders' disdain for this colour scheme, many of these 'Tangerine Dream' models remained unsold and were rebranded as 1960 models by dealerships. Triumph responded by introducing a Royal Blue option before the model year concluded, which proved more popular. Remarkably, the once-disliked 1959 T120 Bonnevilles in Tangerine Orange have now become highly sought-after collectibles.This 1959 Triumph Bonneville T120 ‘Tangerine Dream’ was manufactured on the 25th of September 1959. The records do not show where it was despatched. It was restored around ten years ago to a good standard and has not been used much since its completion. The current vendor purchased the T120 about four years ago with the intent of riding it, but sadly due to his age, he never got around to it. It has not run since his ownership and will need some recommissioning before placing it back on the road. It is offered with its current V5C, documentation from DVLA and a Dating Certificate from Richard Wheedon. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

The SX range retained most styling features of the TV 175/200 Series III which preceded it. The bodywork, however, was more angular and streamlined than that of the preceding Li models. Like the TV Series III, the headset housed a keyed ignition/light switch in the space that the standard Li had a simple kill switch. The SX200 had improved performance and gearing over the previous TV200 models. The SX is the quintessential Lambretta, they are extremely prized by collectors and the SX200 with its own uniquely styled panels and powerful motor is the absolute top of the scooter tree. This mid production example was first believed exported by a UK resident who lived in Italy. It was re-imported in 1999. In 2018 it is said in the history file to have been acquired by John Cooke ex of Eddie Grimstead who restored it in the style that you see today and showing only 4 miles since . The original speedometer is supplied with the scooter along with a matching helmet. Very presentable and in excellent working condition, as it was originally. The scooter has also been restored for practical and safe use in mind. The engine is standard 200cc and the original disc brake has been restored. The electronics are now on a 12 volt system and the wheels are tubeless SIP rims with new tyres. The scooter has been it seems to us to have been very well maintained and has MOTs and tax discs going back to the original importation from 1999. All keys are present and the scooter is ready to go.

The build comprised a brand new G50 motor from Rutter Engineering, a second-hand Metisse rolling chassis with disc brakes front and rear, and genuine Metisse forks. The rolling chassis was disassembled and delivered to Pat French at MRD Metisse in Bristol and was modified to accept the G50 motor. An AMC gearbox was obtained and fitted with 5-speed Quaife internals along with a racing end cover. A Bob Newby clutch and primary drive were also purchased. The machine was then used from 1990 to 1992 unaltered at the Manx Grand Prix and in the UK.Rebuilt and upgraded for competition use between 1993 and 2011, the machine was used on the TT course, the MGP, before being last used at a Mallory Park test day in 2011.We are grateful to the vendor for the following:“The machine was rebuilt for the 1993 season by my father (who kept detailed records of his builds) and I recorded my first ever 90 mph lap of the TT course on a classic single in that year. In 1994 after a practice week engine rebuild (broken crankpin) I managed to complete the race at an average speed of 90.15 mph (not too shabby for a 6’6” bloke with no skill and weighing 16.5 stones).In 1999 after two more crankpin failures my father ordered and fitted a one-piece crankshaft manufactured as a one-off from Dave Nourish of NRE Engineering, Dave was a friend of my father.In 2001 a Mick Taberer drive side main bearing conversion kit was fitted which according to my father’s records included INA needle roller bearings.The engine’s last complete rebuild was in 2007 when a new liner along with piston and rings, main bearings, and big end shells were fitted the bike was then used at the 2008 MGP.Following the race in November 2008 the top end of the bike was stripped and rebuilt by my father, the bike was last used in July 2011 at a Mallory Park test day.”We are advised the lot will include numerous spares, spare PAL mag, pistons, bearings, sprockets, brake discs, fork tubes, transponder, flywheels, suits rev counter, etc. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Developed alongside the K100 fours, the three-cylinder K75 was delayed by a year, as BMW wanted to cement the concept of K-series in the minds of the bike buying public. The 740cc K75 engine was an inline DOHC triple with a big shaft drive. It had the same bore and stroke as the K100, and was, essentially a K100 with the front cylinder lopped off. This made the K75 even smoother than the K100. There were five K75 models available for UK buyers, the naked K75, the K75C which had a cockpit fairing, the K75S, with a sports/touring fairing and the K75RT with a full touring fairing.This 1992 BMW K75S has been used by its current owner over the years he has owned it and he says it has never let him down.

A lightweight scooter it was marketed in the UK by Lambretta Concessionaires as ‘The Space Age Look for the year 2000’ in the space race era of the time in 1968. Despite a huge marketing campaign by Innocenti the Luna line sold poorly in general and this has resulted in a fairly scarce amount of survivors. It was one of the last scooters to come out of the famous Milan factory.A trend in recent times has been to customise the Luna Line scooters into road Tourers and this has been led largely by Dean at Rimini Lambretta Centre. A well-thought-out new engine (ONE 35) with a 135cc capacity has been refined over the last 10 years together with CASA Lambretta and has been tried and tested by Rimini staff on many long rides and rallies. The combination of compatible engineering components has resulted in a machine that can cruise at almost 70mph.Presented here is a 135cc Tourer that is reportedly using over £3500 in engine parts alone. The parts are pictured in this description and include: CASA engine casing polished by JW Polishing, a CASA 135cc top-end kit, CASA crank, Firefly 12v ignition, 5-speed CASA gearbox, Polini 24mm carburettor, CASA performance maxi box exhaust and BGM adjustable rear shock. The scooter also has a Vega style rear light set up and an inline Spare wheel on customised holder.The vendor has also registered the correct new capacity 135cc on the V5C registration document. He has also said that he has used the scooter often including recently and that it runs very well but may need some adjustment to the 5th gear which occasionally drops out. He informs us that a competent scooter mechanic will be able to solve this. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Quickly obtaining a reputation as a centre of excellence for quality Lambretta restorations the company moved into tuning, spare parts, and accessories for all models of Lambretta. With a professional team trained to apply fastidious attention to detail RLC has set the global bar for quality in the marque and is still an ever growing success today.The Ancillotti Tribute Racer came to be as an idea by Paolo Catani partly it is said because RLC had collected many scarce Ancillotti parts to hand. The Ancillotti story is a fascinating tale of racing passion actually going back to 1938 when Gualtiero Ancillotti opened a workshop in Florence modifying and racing Harley Davidsons. His two sons Alberto and Piero who in their early years had been racing go karts supported by their engineer father joined the business around 1962. After experimenting with motorcycles and Rumi scooters amongst others the Ancillotti brothers specialised as far as scooters went with Lambretta performance customisation from 1962 and did not deviate to Vespas as their great rival Giancarlo Gori had done when Innocenti folded. They were still working on racing motorcycles alongside and won over 20 national and international racing events. They had many trademark signatures including specialised engines, racing seats and exhausts that many know their name from today. Kits were sold internationally including via Nannucci in the UK. At their height 1978-79 they were selling around 3000 specialised machines a year and had 45 people working for them but around 1986 closed down due to Japanese competition. It was folklore that the Ancillotti brothers were not known for throwing money around and their own motorcycle club had added a dollar sign to the Florence clubs logo in tribute to their most famous members.The dollar sign is the first notable signature of this most splendid of machines. Completely Ancillotti style in the yellow colour that they used it is foremost the engine specification that needs to be mentioned plus the unique huge Jaeger rev counter another trademark Ancillotti feature and all on an original Florence Lambretta Special scooter - the birthplace of Ancillotti. The engine has full original Ancillotti 200cc kit: Dyke ring piston, barrel, 4 bolt fixing manifold and large bore exhaust. The seat is an original Ancillotti hand-made aluminium seat with pull-out cushion for fuel and it is this we are told that Giuliari used as the inspiration for their own reproduction version of the seat. A truly very rare accessory! When the scooter was completed it was signed by the Ancillotti brothers themselves one on each side panel with their definite signature of approval. The scooter was sold to a British collector Paul Cromwell who had seen it being created in 2007 and made sure it was going to be his. Our vendor, a perfectionist, bought it from Paul and commissioned British Lambretta performance guru Ron Moss to go over the motor. Ron was able to find out that one of the gudgeon pins had moved out of position and the piston had been scored. He was also able track down 2 exact Dyke ring original pistons by an incredible stroke of luck (the spare one is supplied with the lot) and he also sourced a period VHB 30mm carburettor. The result is we are told a smooth powerful reliable road scooter comparable to a GP200 in performance but with a pedigree of originality with so many original and rare performance parts within.The fastidious attention to detail typically any Rimini built scooter is there for all to see all over this scooter. Anyone who has had a chance to see a Rimini scooter or has been to their fabulous workshop will know that they only use the finest original parts. Of note on this machine to retain the originality it is still on original 6v points and the ignition is of course original number 646 with the original key as all of the locks are original with original Grabor, OMR and GAMA keys. The speedometer is an original SX200 version. On close inspection they cables are all correctly done as original spec with all grease points restored correctly and cables tied with correct fixings. Every nut and bolt is original either NOS or refurbished. The scooter is also supplied with the original Spartan tyres that were favoured by Ancillotti. The scooter is also supplied with its original Firenze (Florence) Italian registration document and even its original Italian FI prefix number plate and is also registered as a 125 in the UK on the V5C. Full details of the project and the restoration are still available to view on the Rimini Lambretta Centre website and can also be found in Scootering magazine September 2008, a copy of which is also supplied with the scooter.A Rimini special project restoration of this magnitude today would cost far in excess of the auction estimate. In addition there are the rare original Ancillotti parts that must make this a true one off. Perfectly set up by no other than the legendary Ron Moss this Rimini scooter is a unique opportunity.

It has been left in the will of David Rogers the sole owner of the scooter to our vendor's wife. She has allowed a picture of David riding it back in the day with her mother to be included in the history file and this is included the sale. As we understand it David restored it around 2010 with the help of a motorcycle club after many years of wishing to do so. At this time he also applied for the original number to be restored to the scooter successfully. We note that the scooter has many original parts and the original speedometer shows a credible 7,373 miles. This can be deduced particularly because the panels are in extremely good condition and most notably the original Giuliari seat still has its original red cover in strikingly superb condition with no rips or tears. The engine casing and gear levers also looked like they had had light use. There are a great deal of other original parts used including the original ignition switch number 117, toolbox lock and key and steering lock are all original. The engine is completely standard as a 200cc with the original SH1/20 carburettor and original long reach kick start. The scooter is well presented with attractive red side panels which are also original. The number plate has period-style vinyl numbers. This SX200 has been converted to 12v electrics but the original 6v flywheel and stator plate are included in the sale along with a large amount of spare parts and manuals (photographs to follow). Our consultant was able to start the scooter easily and also rode it on the road. It sounded and handled very well and all worked as it should at the time of consignment.

The 998R and non-US 998S models had different crankcases with a deep oil sump. The standard 998 had crankcases which were very similar to the previous Desmoquattro. The non-US 998S as well as the 998R had revised cam profiles which provided more power than the standard 998.This 2002 Ducati 998S was purchased by the current vendor in 2020 as a restoration project but then decided to do a full rebuild, and most of the work was carried out by Louigi Moto in Bristol. What needed to be done was done, the engine and gearbox were stripped and rebuilt to Ducati's specifications, and the vendor knows the owner Rich Llewellin very well, so extra details were done. It benefits from Ohlins forks rear shocks, Marchini Mas wheels, and Termi exhaust. The machine will need to be run-in by its new owner.

New Imperial made innovative motorcycles that employed unit construction and sprung heel frames long before they became commonplace, and were moderately successful in competition. The 1920s were a financially successful decade, enabling the innovations of the 1930s that fought decline. New Imperial suffered financially from the sales-destroying Great Depression of the 1930s, and then the founder died in 1938. New Imperial was sold, and sold again, and then ended production in late 1939, its former facilities subsequently serving the needs of a nation at war.This little New Imperial Model 23 was believed to have been restored in the 1990s.

The New Hudson motorcycle range expanded from 1910 through to 1915 using JAP engines before joining the war effort putting motorcycle production on hold. The company continued producing motorcycles after the Great War before stopping in 1933, changing their name to Girling Ltd and continuing to produce automotive components. Some of our readers may be familiar with the later New Hudson autocycles which were produced by BSA under the New Hudson name after the Second World War.This combination was purchased by the previous owner for the purposes of restoration. Prior to the current owner, we understand it was with the previous owner for nearly 60 years. The previous owner used it without the sidecar for many years before the whole outfit needed a complete restoration. Unfortunately, there is no further history documented with this one, as is often the case with earlier motorcycles. The V5C states it has had three former keepers, but it wouldn’t surprise us if the complete, exact ownership over the last 108 years had alluded the records.Presented for auction today is the result of a diligent and mindful restoration. Care has been taken to aim for originality with both shades of Green having been colour-matched from the components prior to painting. It hasn’t all been overfilled and smoothed over meaning that, whilst it is a wonderful job, it still has its story to tell, and it feels like a 1914 outfit. It drives nicely and starts very reliably. This would be expected as the engine was rebuilt by renowned V-twin experts, Cowley Restorations of Derbyshire. The magneto is correct for the era and the carb has, again, been professionally overhauled. It is a three-speed hand change gearbox with a belt drive onto the back wheel. The lubrication is by an oil drip feed which can be overridden manually when needed. The sidecar is a beautiful addition with stunning woodwork and a remarkable sprung system.Paperwork includes a buff logbook which we think was issued in 1970, alongside a selection of invoices from the recent restoration. The motorcycle is stated as having been registered in 1921 and includes a modern V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Classed as a ‘sports bike’, the FZR1000 was generally regarded as the world's finest production sports motorcycle at that time, and in its 1989 FZR1000R incarnation, the engine produced over 140hp with class-leading handling to match. The FZR1000R won ‘Bike of the Year’ throughout the motorcycle press and was crowned the "Bike of the Decade" by Cycle World. The machine was continually updated throughout its lifetime and continued to collect awards through the early 1990s. The big new feature was the Exhaust Ultimate Powervalve (EXUP) to smooth out power delivery.This FZR1000 has had little use due to being part of a static collection of Japanese machines. In ‘as-purchased’ condition and has been running and some work has been carried out, but some further recommissioning may be required before road use.

Registration No: GU 7091 Frame No: MD 9883 Engine No: M 3976 CC: 248 MOT: ExemptRestored by a group of Velocette enthusiastsRuns and rides very wellMany new parts fittedCurrent V5C on fileVelocette motorcycles were produced by Veloce Ltd in Hall Green, Birmingham between 1904 and 1971. One of several motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham, Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs were commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid-1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc world championship titles.Whilst many Velocette designs were OHC, especially their race bikes, in 1933, the decision was made to develop a cheaper to produce OHV engine and the first model was the 250cc MOV with a fully enclosed valve train. This little Velocette MOV was restored by a group of Velocette enthusiasts during the recent pandemic, once the lockdown was lifted they all got together to complete the restoration. There have been many new parts fitted during the restoration with a full engine rebuild, and magneto rewound. The current vendor has enjoyed the MOV and has advised it runs as it should. It is being offered complete with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: BL03 JYC Frame No: ZDMM400AA3B040567 Engine No: ZDM996W4B-006410 CC: 996 MOT: August 2024 Superbike performance in a Monster chassisShowa suspension and Brembo brakesIncludes manuals, spare key and a V5CRESERVE REDUCEDDucati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a push-bike with a clip-on engine. By the '60s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The unfaired Monster began as a styling exercise in 1992, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, and it took time to convince the management at Ducati to build it. The model became an immediate success and has gone down in history as the bike that saved Ducati due to its popularity and cheap development costs with over 300,000 having been produced. Whilst the Monster was initially conceived as a low cost entry model, the S4 range placed the 4 valve water cooled engine from the 996 sports bike in a trellis chassis featuring state of the art suspension and braking.This S4R has been part of a private collection for a few years and is only being sold now to give the vendor more space for his other projects. Offered in good original condition including its genuine Ducati ZDM-33/34 stamped end cans it will make an interesting and quick bike to ride whilst still appreciating in value. It had new tyres and a brake overhaul including new Brembo front disc in 2022, not doing many miles since, and a new battery and fuel pump at the beginning of March this year. Run recently it comes supplied with a paddock stand, some receipts, old MOTs, a current MOT until August 2024, its original tool kit and owners manuals together with a V5C.

The new model adopted twin discs in place of the four leading shoe items used on the "J" series models and featured new side panels, instruments with a digital gear indicator, restyled exhausts and revised graphics. The GT750 was a victim of stricter emission regulations and competition from technical developments of four-stroke motorcycles.On offer is a 1976 Suzuki GT750A that has been restored to concours standard by JMC Classics in Royston. The attention to detail has been detailed in the restoration of the machine. It was restored by the current company owner himself but has decided to let it go due to other projects that he would like to complete. Every part of the machine has been completely stripped, checked rebuilt or replaced and with as many genuine parts as possible. The original exhaust system was re-chromeable and was carefully rechromed to keep the stamping as much as possible. We have been told the GT750 is running well and will be checked over before coming to the auction and be ready for its new owner. It is offered with a current V5C.
