‘Britain's lowest-priced “200”, the Triumph T20 Tiger Cub, impresses even a seasoned tester with its outstandingly good all-round performance and value. This four-stroke lightweight is game for a genuine 64-65mph; it will cruise energetically all day in the mid-fifties; and it will return fuel consumption figures little short of remarkable, whatever the throttle openings used.’ - Motor Cycling. The Tiger Cub’s immediate forbear was the 149cc Terrier, with which Triumph had re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines in 1952. A simple, compact, unitary construction four-stroke with four-speed gearbox, the Terrier was joined in 1954 by an enlarged version - the 200cc Tiger Cub - that offered 60mph-plus performance and 100mpg. A big success, particularly with younger riders, the Cub underwent continual development for the next 16 years, finally ending up with BSA Bantam cycle parts (as the Bantam Cub) before being dropped in 1970.Offered here is a first year of production example that was first registered on 14th December 1954. Presenting beautifully, the bike has been cherished throughout its life. The supplied history file shows early service records along with receipts, past tax discs, old logbook as well as a 1st place ribbon from the Ashford Classic Motorcycle Show in 2015. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a lovely history file, all this lovely little Cub needs now is a new home.

The first production Alvis to be styled by the Swiss coachbuilder, Graber, appeared at the Paris Motor Show in October 1955. Based on the existing TC21 Grey Lady chassis, the newcomer brought a much-needed injection of Continental style and modernity to the Coventry manufacturer's range. Lighter, stiffer and with a much smaller frontal area than the traditionally styled Grey Lady, the Graber Alvis enjoyed much improved handling and a higher maximum speed in excess of 100mph. The first Graber styled model, the TC108G, was built by coachbuilders Willowbrook, before production switched to Rolls-Royce's in-house coachbuilder Park Ward, on the introduction of the restyled TD21 for 1959. The TD21 retained Alvis's torquey, 3.0 litre, overhead valve six, which in uprated form now came with 120bhp courtesy of a redesigned cylinder head. Inside, there were improvements to the accommodation with increased headroom and legroom, especially in the rear. Lockheed servo-assisted disc brakes were an option, becoming standardised for 1960.This lovely, rare Series II Alvis TD21 Drophead Coupé was first registered on the 15th February 1962 and is supplied with a Borg Warner automatic gearbox, factory power assisted steering and with the factory extras of chrome wire wheels and reclining front seats. Purchased by the current owner in 2021 from a large collection. With less than half as many Series II cars built than the Series I, making these later Drophead Coupé rare cars to find, especially in this condition. Although this vehicle has led a pampered life and just had a full suspension rebuild and a new fuel tank fitted just before he purchased it, it was not quite to his standards, so he sent the car to marque specialists Red Triangle who completely went through the car. More recently, this TD21 has been in the care of Bowron Motorcare who rectified any paint defects and fitted new tyres. All this work was at a cost of over £37,000. Finished in this elegant Silver/Grey with Black leather interior, this excellent and rare TD21 Series II is supplied with a V5 registration document, original handbook, spare keys and a very large history file. This is one of the best Alvis of this type we have seen and is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.

1937 Riley Kestral, 1 1/2lt. Registration number FPC 962. Chassis number 27K6499. Engine number not found. Sold with no paperwork, although the car is on SORN and a 2010 tax disc was found in the car. Produced from 1936 until 1938 when Nuffield took over the company, the Riley 1½-litre, is a range of cars that were available with saloon, touring, and sports/racing coachwork, The car is powered by a four-cylinder 1,496 cc with one or two Zenith carburettors. It was advanced for its day with twin camshafts mounted high in the engine block, cross flow head on some versions, and Zenith or twin SU carburettors. The chassis had half-elliptic leaf springs all round and drive was to the rear wheels through either a four-speed preselector or manual gearbox. Girling rod brakes were fitted. At launch three body styles were available: the Kestrel 4 light fastback saloon, the Falcon saloon and the Lynx open tourer. In 1936 the Kestrel became a six light, the Falcon was replaced by the Adelphi six light saloon and the Continental touring saloon was introduced. Between 375 and 400 27K models were produced. FPC is an older restoration that has been stored since 2010 in a dry garage with other vehicles from this deceased estate.
1980 Ducati 900 SS MHR, 860cc. Registration number KDF 460V. Frame number DM860SS 900275. Engine number DM860 090008. Sold with the V5C, one key, purchase invoice from Made in Italy Motorcycles to a Swedish owner in 2019, purchase invoice from Classic Super Bikes to our vendor in 2021, MOT dated March 2020 at 35,172KM (21,841M), today 35,717KM various receipts for parts including genuine Conti pipes, clutch/gearbox parts, front fork stanchion and seals, and copy manuals. After Mike Hailwood’s spectacular victory at the 1978 Isle of Man Formula One race on an NCR Ducati, the factory commemorated this event with the introduction of a race replica. Ducati announced that they would produce 200 limited edition ‘900 Replicas', although the exact number is unknown, some believe up to 300 were produced. Today these are referred to as MKI's’ (only from 1981 was the model officially titled ‘Mike Hailwood Replica’) and became known as the Mk1 later on. The bikes had a fibreglass cover over a regular 900 Super Sport fuel tank, single seat and came with a certificate. The engine was identical to that of the 900 Super Sport and came with 40mm Dell’Orto carburettors and Conti exhaust pipes. The 1980 Mk2 was not limited in production and although only the fuel tank was now made from steel, the bike was more or less the same as the 1979 Mk1. This still included some very specific items fitted, such as the one-piece fairing, the Brembo Goldline brake callipers, 40mm Dell’Orto carburettors and were originally fitted with Conti exhausts. The Mike Hailwood Replica’s of 1981 and beyond are very different to the 1979/1980 models. The model now featured a two-piece fairing, regular Brembo brake callipers and Silentium exhaust pipes. The 1981 Mk3 was the first MHR to include side panels to hide the battery. In 1983, the Mk4 was introduced with an updated engine with electric start and and a new frame based on a Ducati S2. The final bevel drive Ducati was the 1000 'Mille' Mike Hailwood Replica of 1984 that was available through until 1986. KDF, frame number 900275, has had three owners on the V5C and appears to a very original machine with low mileage. Our vendor has enjoyed minor improvements during his ownership but now finds it too heavy to move about in his garage. It has recently had the ignition checked over and there was a strong spark at each cylinder, it was last started up in July 2023. Sold with the V5C, one key, purchase invoice from Made in Italy Motorcycles to a Swedish owner in 2019, purchase invoice from Classic Super Bikes to our vendor in 2021, MOT dated March 2020 at 35,172KM (21,841M), today 35,717KM various receipts for parts including genuine Conti pipes, clutch/gearbox parts, front fork stanchion and seals, and copy manuals.
1952 Norton Model 7 Dominator 88, 497cc. Registration number TXS 494 (non transferrable). Frame number 42512. Engine number 42512. Sold with the V5C, old MOT's, large amount of receipts and other paperwork. The Dominator is a twin cylinder motorcycle developed by Norton to compete against the Triumph Speed Twin, originally designed in 1947 by Bert Hopwood, who had been on the Speed Twin design team at Triumph. Available for sale from mid 1949 as the Model 7, the new 500cc engine went into the existing ES2 plunger-frame/tele-fork cycle parts, a marriage that necessitated a redesign of Norton's well-proven four-speed gearbox. this design set the pattern for Norton twins for the next 30 years. HMW was bought by M.J. Murphy from a Sothebys auction in 1990, the entry states that it had been rebuilt by J. Tennant-Eyles and had been in Northern Ireland since 1983 owned by Dr R.A. Lindsay. It was then reallocated its original UK number, HMW 185, and it stayed with him until a year ago. The number has recently been retained. Our vendor states it is in good running order.
2008 Triumph Rickman Metisse MKIII, 500cc. Registration number not registered. Frame number 2/08, R4355T. Engine number 5T 46583. Gearbox number GB20H53, 946, C41. There is no paperwork with this machine. Rickman Motorcycles was established by brothers Derek and Don Rickman, they manufactured motorcycles from 1960 through 1975, the company was then sold to a Rickman Metisse enthusiast run by Pat French. In 1999 a new enthusiast arrived on the scene and set up a new company (Métisse Motorcycles) and bought Pat French's business including some later parts and the rights to use the word 'Metisse'. This machine has been exactly built with a big bearing 5T engine, AMC gearbox, Norton front brake, Triumph rear wheel, stainless steel rims and spokes. It has been occasionally fired up and ridden around our vendors garden.
1978 Bultaco Sherpa T, 340cc. Registration number YGY 254S. Frame number JB 19900686. Engine number JM 199001774. Sold with the V5C and MOT certificates from 2014 and 2015. The 350 version of Bultaco's famous Sherpa T trials motorcycle first appeared in 1972 as the model 92. The specification remained unchanged until 1975, and the model 151, when a modified frame lowered the weight to 91 kg and changes to the induction and exhaust resulted in a drop in power output to 17.5 bhp. The 1977 Model 191 benefited from a power increase to 20.8 bhp but no significant changes were made until the 1981 Model 199B, when the engine capacity was increased to 340cc and a sixth ratio was added to the gearbox. This was the final version of the Sherpa T 350 and remained in production until 1985 when Bultaco went out of business. YGY was first registered in the UK in 2012 and bought by our vendor in 2022 with the intention of entering some twin shock events. He gave it to his father to fettle it and when it was returned it had been restored too well to take out on the moors and rocks so it stayed in the garage and was only occasionally fired up and ridden locally. Benefitting from being road legal this Sherpa should give much fun to the next owner. Sold with the V5C and MOT certificates from 2014 and 2015.
1965 Triumph 3TA, 349cc. Registration number KHH 849C. Frame number H 37536. Engine number H 37536. Sold with the V5C and a key. Triumph re-entered the 350 class in 1957 with the introduction of the Twenty One. Its arrival ushered in Triumph's unitary construction era, which saw the engine and gearbox, previously separate components, combined within a single structure, albeit one that retained a vertically split crankcase assembly. Readily distinguishable by its Shell Blue metallic finish and 'bathtub' rear enclosure - a feature later applied to Triumph's larger models - the newcomer was renamed '3TA' in September 1958. With just 18.5bhp on tap, Triumph's smallest twin lacked the urgent acceleration of its larger brethren, but nevertheless was a capable tourer good for around 80mph while delivering excellent fuel economy. KHH is a matching numbers unrestored machine in a rare silver bronze (gold) colourway. This colour was only used for three years, 1963 - 65, it is believed only some 1756 were produced. It has been running recently but further recommissioning will be required.
History The 9-3X concept, a preview of the next-generation 9-3, premiered in January 2002 at the North American International Auto Show. Originally, the 9-3 was due to début with the Opel Vectra in October 2001, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but in July 2001, it was announced that delays had forced General Motors to postpone the introduction. The new 9-3 was eventually launched in July 2002. There were four trim levels: the entry-level Linear, mid-range Vector and Arc (with emphasis on sporty appeal and luxury), and a top-of-the-range Aero model. The 9-3 Convertible was the first car in its class to score five stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests. The standard 1.9 TiD version has 150bhp and a 0-62mph time of 10 seconds (identical to the 1.8t) while returning an impressive 48mpg. OverviewThis car was first sold by Alexanders in Thornsby on Tees. Being first registered on 5th January 2007. Appearing in metallic blue on cream leather interior, with a black hood over. The car is a 1.9TiD Vector. It has only had 2 keepers from new and whilst the history file isn’t huge due to its age, it is impressive. The car has be well maintained with 11 stamps in the service book up to 77,484 miles (which brings us to present day). The last being on the 5th August this year. A new gearbox fitted in May 2023, and new discs and pads in August. The car appears to be in very good condition, and the vendor drove 50 miles to the site in it. The vendor has bought the vehicle to tick a bucket list (due to ill health), and having done so wishes to now pass the vehicle on to the next owner to enjoy.

History Renault were indeed ahead of the market when they introduced the Juvaquatre, a compact three door estate known as the station wagon. A somewhat stylish four seater with a fold down back seat providing a gargantuan amount of space to the rear. Powered by a four cylinder ‘type 6702’ engine with a bore and stroke of 58 x 80mm giving a cubic capacity of 848cc, this being coupled to a three speed manual gearbox made good reliable and economical motoring. For around five decades Renault had found a lucrative market catering for the small car buyer and the Juvaquatre was certainly developed in the best Renault tradition, the aforementioned economical motoring combined with practicality, the Juvaquatre was suitable for both commercial and private customers. It had few rivals, its closest competition being the Citroen 2CV, personally we don’t think it even came close to the charismatic charms of the Juvaquatre. Overview 1956 Renault Juvaquatre Station Wagon - R 2100 - Break Odometer: 32,483 Kms VRM: Not U.K registered (All papers to register are with the vehicle*) Hansons classics are pleased to be able to offer this delightful and practical station wagon onto the market. The 26HP 848cc engine and 3 speed manual gearbox makes this a truly wonderful and economical classic, perfect for those weekends to the coast. Extensive work has been carried out by the vendor throughout the Juva with the underside having been fully rejuvenated along with the bodywork prepped in readiness for its new paint. We are told all parts required to finish the restoration are with the car, including two spare wheels, original bumpers and a very desirable roof rack. The car is currently running. *All documents are with the vehicle including the original French logbook “Carte Gris” which will assist in making the registration with DVLA more simplified.Upon registration with DVLA the vehicle will be granted historical vehicle status making it MoT & Tax exempt. There are many receipts for work completed so far and a useful source of suppliers can be found in the pack for any future work. Parts are still in their abundance in France.

History Unveiled at the London Motor Show in October 1971, The Triumph Motor Company division of British Leyland in Canley, Coventry, produced a total of 204,003 Dolomites between October 1972 and August 1980, 79,010 of those being the 1850 HL model.The Dolomite was the final addition to Triumph's small-car range (codenamed "Project Ajax"), which had started in 1965 with the Triumph 1300, designed to be a replacement for the rear wheel drive Triumph Herald. Initially, the HL variant used the new slant four 1854cc engine, which mated an alloy overhead cam head to an iron block, providing 91 bhp which offered sprightly performance. This was a version of the engine that the company was already providing to Saab for use in their 99 model. Overview 1977 Triumph Dolomite 1850HL AutomaticVRM: ACK 188R (Non transferable)Odometer: 51,550Registered: 1st May 1977 Finished in true seventies russet brown with contrasting tan interior this Dolomite offers a few more features than the more common base model. With equipment such as full instrumentation, luxury seats and carpets is gave the BMW 2002 and Cortina GXL a run for its money back in the day. The economical 1854cc engine and three speed automatic gearbox make easy work of todays driving requirements, whilst having 2 SU 4 carburettors and rear wheel drive you can rely of that little extra performance should you feel tempted to push the accelerator with a bit more authority. Today the car presents very well since its production some 47 years ago, the panels are in good order and normal problematic areas such as door shuts, wheel arches and sills all being in good fettle. The original chrome-work and rubber mouldings again are in fantastic order, complete with its original vinyl cladded d pillars this car oozes that late seventies vibe. Car currently not running as due to being in storage it would require a service and fresh fuel. Showing a total of 51,550 miles with only 5 previous owners it’s certainly a fantastic opportunity to acquire a well above average example. *mileage as of 2006 recorded at 49,786 View more - https://hansonsclassics.com/car/1977-triumph-dolomite/
History The R107-series SL was unveiled in 1971, presenting luxury-hungry buyers with stylish interiors, bigger engines and sharper, more contemporary bodywork. Mercedes-Benz’s renowned build quality quickly becomes apparent from the moment you close the door with a satisfying clunk. The R (Roadster) 107 chassis was also an incredibly long-lived member of the Mercedes-Benz family, remaining in production until 1989. After five decades, the R107 SL is still a fashionable and popular vehicle being the second longest single series ever produced after the G-ClassOverview 1981 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Convertible R107 (Auto)AIL 9500 (Transferable)Registration Value: £1500Original suffix: X registeredDirect from deceased estate:First registered in September 1981 the car has just 2 previous owners, the last being custodian for some 35 years since acquiring the vehicle in 1989. Having been garaged and fastidiously maintained throughout its life gives testament to what a true genuine survivor example this is, an example that has clearly lived a very pampered life.Finished in Mercedes Thistle Green with contrasting black and charcoal sports check upholstery this vehicle has covered only 39,925 miles from new with only 209 miles of that being covered in the last 27 years, YES you read that right, an average of just 7.7 miles a year since 1997.Being the less troublesome 2746cc straight six engine coupled to the four speed automatic transmission not only does one have economy but also that peace of mind against the issues more commonly found with the larger capacity V8 models.The perfect colour and clarity of the engine and gearbox oils are also testament to the vehicles impeccable past. This unblemished example benefits from excellent chrome-work and rubbers throughout, a full stainless steel exhaust system which in return gives it that little extra burble upon driving. Complete with its original 14” ‘Bundt’ alloys wheels original Mercedes mud-flaps and removable hard top (with both keys) makes this not only a must for the coming summer months but also a superb addition to any serious collectors private garage.Although we are awaiting some additional papers from probate we can confirm that previous MoT’s show the vehicles mileages as 38,816 as of August 1997 and 38,901 in August of 2001. A classic and fast appreciating model from an era of stupendous reliability. View more - https://hansonsclassics.com/car/mercedes-280cl-1981/
History Designed to sit between the Austin Sevens and twelves and their largest model the twenty, the Austin Sixteen and Eighteen were introduced in 1927 and became particularly popular amongst the ‘carriage’ trade of taxis, private hire, undertakers and the like. In 1934, the chromed radiator surround was replaced by a body matched painted one and the four speed manual gearbox was equipped with synchromesh on third and fourth. To cater for the more refined, the Chalfont was the luxury model with glass division and a pair of folding occasional seats in the rear. Both sixteen and eighteen models had a six cylinder engine for greater refinement. The Austin 18/6, Chalfont bodied its engine and front seat were mounted nine inches (225 mm) further forward than on the old York Sixteen it replaced. The chassis was also extended three inches (75 mm) to provide a total of twelve inches (300 mm) more passenger space. One result was a relatively short bonnet and a good driving position. Its new shape followed the lines of the other Austin cars introduced the previous autumn and it was remarkable for having a completely flat floor in both front and rear passenger compartments with exceptionally wide doors and draught-free ventilation. Overview 1936 Austin 18/6 Chalfont Limousine (Man) – DKJ 973Registering on the 26th October 1936, this car was sold to Lady Colyer-Fergusson – whose photo portraits are at the national portrait gallery. Daughter of Sir Thomas Colyer-Fergusson, 3rd Bt. The car has an aristocratic feel. Its assumed it was used to chauffeur Lady Colyer-Fergusson up from Kent to London, or for afternoon tea with other likemindeds. The car was sold on in 1945 and again in 1946. From there we think one keeper between this and Lord Of Cannock. Again, the car wears Lord Cannock’s coat of arms. It starts and drive on the button. We aren’t aware of any mechanical faults, but buyer must satisfy themselves. The body work presents well. The only shame is the carpet missing in the rear View more - https://hansonsclassics.com/car/1936-austin-18-6-chalfont-limousine-manual/
**********AWAY CLIENT COLLECTED ON 11/7/24******** History The story of the Jaguar Mark II (also known as the Jaguar MK2) begins with Jaguar’s “Project Utah” which gave birth to the Jaguar 2.4 litre and 3.4 litre Mark I. These models then went on to father the Jaguar Mark II and then the Daimler 2.5 V8. Effectively the MkII was just an upgrade to the Mk 1, which was only really called the mark 1 after the mark 2 was released. However, the mark 2 somehow became the icon, and encapsulated the “Space, Grace, and Pace” that was the ethos of Jaguar’s Sir William Lyons. That and the fact it was revered for being the getaway car of choice for London’s nefarious underworld. Especially the 3.4l roaring its 6 cylinders with DOHC to 210bhp and a top speed of 120 mph. It’s hard to imagine just how fabulous this car was back in 1959. Overview 1967 Jaguar MkII 3.4l (Manual) – 17 CWF The car in our auction may just help you have a taste of those times. First registered in June 1967 it is one of the last of the mk II 3.4l before they became the 340 in September of the same year. We do not have much of its early history (maybe we don’t want to or aren’t allowed to). However, we do know the car went through a photo documented restoration. As well as an engine and gearbox rebuild back in 2010, with the total works for all costing £15,000. Completed by WatJag of Bakewell. Documentation is within the files. There are a lot of files, along with manuals and parts catalogues (and maybe the odd document that tells you how to file your way out of prison)! It appears the car has been well kept since 2010, this can be seen just by looking at the condition of it, close to immaculate. A very tidy car, with just 77,000 on the clock. Although we cannot be sure if that is genuine or not, appearances would say it is. The car starts and drives well. There is an electronic choke fitted. The steering fluid may need a small top up as there is a slight whine occasionally, when on full lock. However, when she is opened up, the only whine you can hear is the one in your head, as you imagine 1960’s coppers behind you, in hot pursuit.

History First appearing at the London Motor Show. In 1966 the Gilbern Genie could be purchased with either a 2.5- or 3-litre Ford Essex V6 engine and gearbox with optional overdrive and steering and back axle were BMC units from the MGB. The unusual name was in fact a combination of the first three letters of the name of founder Giles Smith and the first four letters of the name of his co-founder Bernard Friese. Overview Gilbern GenieVRM: WMP 391G (non transferable) No. 110 of only 197 made. Having been restored in the early 1990s including a full engine rebuild this stunning example has only covered around 10,000 miles since! Complete with overdrive, and a stainless steel exhaust this car could almost be mistaken for an exotic mid-‘60s Alfa, amazingly it was actually made in Wales, in fact the Gilbern was the only handmade car to ever be produced there. Without doubt an extremely rare car being one of only 197 Genies ever produced, the question you have to ask yourself is, how many have actually survived. The styling is typical ‘60s sharp-suited Italianate, the wheels could pass for Cromodoras and the car has plenty of power on tap from its 3.0 Ford V6. The Gilbern is almost forgotten nowadays and if you were to remove the Dragon badges who would know what you were driving or what it was worth? It even has a whiff of Maserati Mexico about it. This 1969 Genie had a thorough restoration in the early 1990s, during which it received its new Giallo Forte paintwork (having previously been red). The engine was also rebuilt with a fast road camshaft, uprated oil pump, new Weber 40DF15 carb, electronic ignition etc. (The oil pressure is reported to be around 50psi). There is a stack of paperwork with this car including a total of 21 MoT’s showing the mileage at point of restoration was around 97,000 miles with the odometer now showing ****** This example has been kept it in good order with the aid of local Gilbern specialist, Sporting Classic Marques of Llanelli who, among other jobs, fabricated new stainless steel rear exhaust sections which look absolutely stunning. The car has also benefitted from rolling road tuning where the dyno sheets show a rather healthy 165bhp and 189lb/ft. An incredibly rare opportunity to own an incredibly rare car which oozes the true styling of the sixties. View more - https://hansonsclassics.com/car/gilbern-genie/

Registration No: 555 ADA Frame No: Not visible MOT: ExemptA complete restoration projectFound in a shedNo documents with this machineIn 1954, the Norman brothers dived into moped production, aiming to build 40 to 60 machines daily. Their efforts resulted in thousands of Norman Nippy and Lido models. The Nippy, influenced by contemporary Continental designs, sported a 47.6cc Sachs engine with a two-speed gearbox. This mid-to-late 1950s Norman Nippy was found in a fallen-down shed. Mostly complete with its Copes dealership badge on the front mudguard, it is offered for restoration.

The frame is a stove-enamelled 1962 slimline Featherbed with a modified headstock, Dresda box-section swinging arm and Dresda yokes with Triumph forks. Braking is provided by a Grimeca rear hub with a large twin leading-shoe front brake mounted in alloy rims. The bodywork is completed with fibreglass fuel and oil tanks and the bike comes with a top-half fairing not yet fitted. The 6T engine has been heavily modified to race specification, including a Morgo 750 top end, gas-flowed head with bigger valves, balanced crank and a Morgo high-pressure oil pump. The gearbox has a Dresda modification to the main shaft and an alloy clutch basket driving a Tony Hayward belt-drive conversion. Carbs are 32mm Amal 900 Concentrics. All the brackets, engine plates, etc. are Dresda items. Presented in excellent condition, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine Dresda Triton that could cost upwards of £20,000 to put together today. It has been part of an enthusiast's private collection of 1950s and ’60s classic bikes for the last few years, all stored in a heated garage. Having stood for a while, it may need some recommissioning and comes supplied with various receipts, specification sheet, some old MOTs and a current V5C.

Registration No: EHL 958V Frame No: 15474 MOT: ExemptJust three owners from newOwned by a Spada enthusiastBeautifully presented machineRunning very wellOn offer is a 1980 Moto Guzzi Spada Royale that has only had only two recorded owners from new. The vendor has known this Moto Guzzi since it was new in 1980. It fell into disuseand for 20 years he tried his hardest to buy it from the original owner, but was confronted with the usual story: “I’m going to put it back on the road.” Eventually, the owner decided to sell , and the vendor has since restored it to its current condition. The whole machine was stripped and rebuilt. The engine and gearbox were rebuilt by Nigel Billingsley, arguably the best Moto Guzzi specialist in Britain. The vendor has been interested in the Spada Royale since they first came out and has been keeping records of where machines are and how many are left. He only knows of five examples to this day. The Spada is running very well and is ready for its new owner for the rest of the summer months. There are some hand-written notes about the machine detailing exactly what has been done. It comes with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: R11M 86385 MOT: ExemptOriginally owned and raced by Dan Shorey: 'The Banbury Flyer'Matching frame and engine numbersRay Petty engine and gearboxPresent ownership since 2007This 'matching-numbers' Manx was sold new to the Taylor Dow dealership in Banbury, Oxfordshire on 27th April 1960. R11M 86385 was originally owned and campaigned by short circuit racer, Dan Shorey: 'The Banbury Flyer'. It is said Shorey won many races aboard this '500' Manx, not to mention riding it to 9th place in the Manx Grand Prix during its first competitive season.. In 1967, the machine was sold to American racer Lance Weil. Thereafter, it is known to have belonged to prominent collector Anthony Blight, Mr W. Page and American former racer Ron Hazlehurst. Winner of the 1948 Junior Clubman's TT on a Velocette, the latter had the Norton shipped Stateside. . Years later, while working in California, the current owner stumbled upon the neglected machine sitting in a shop. Repatriating it to the UK, he has enjoyed showcasing the ex-Shorey Manx at classic events throughout the UK. Under the expert tuning of Manx specialist Ray Petty, the engine received a Bill Stuart modification to the main bearing collar. Additionally, the SU float chamber was installed to prevent fuel frothing—an alteration well-recognized by enthusiasts. The gearbox is a five-speed Petty PGT. Aside from the fuel tank’s paint, the machine remains very original. Accompanying period photographs and articles feature Dan Shorey, there's a CD of images, and the CRMC Machine (Group 1, Period 1) Registration Certificate.

Registration No: 451 XUF Frame No: MK10947 MOT: ExemptA very early EMC Split SingleRestored to a good standardNot many have survivedCurrent V5C on fileDr Josef Ehrlich arrived in the UK from Austria during 1937, his interest was centred on the development and potential of the two-stroke engine. In its pre-war guise his Split Single two-stroke displaced 240cc. The Split Single powerplant, which featured a cast iron barrel with alternating deep and shallow fins was offered in two guises, the S with a Pilgrim oil pump providing the engine lubrication and the T which relied on the petrol system of lubrication. Both versions employed a rigid duplex frame with a cast bronze backbone and steering head fitted with Dowty oleo-pneumatic forks. 7-inch brakes were employed with two drums gracing the front wheel. A Burman four-speed gearbox provided the transmission which was characterised by a high overall ratio in the interests of fuel economy.Although technically interesting, the machine failed to sell in large numbers and examples are extremely rare today. This 1947 EMC 350 Split Single was acquired by the late owner for his collection in 2007. Drawn to its rarity and the fact it was built in the UK, he was unable to unearth any prior history. The EMC has not been started or ridden for several years and so will require some light recommissioning before use. It is offered with a current V5C.

A key feature of the ST70 is the T-bone pressed-steel frame that distinguishes it from the Gorilla and the Z series. As a general description, the ST-series bikes have a bench-style saddle, small fat tyres, and folding handlebars. They have an air-cooled four-stroke engine with either a three-speed semi-automatic transmission with a centrifugal clutch or a four-speed manual gearbox, with a power output at 6hp and a top speed of about 45mph. Untaxed since 1976, this 1972 Honda ST70 was recently found in a lock-up with the BMW R80 and Kawasaki Z900 (lots 296 and 297). In very original condition for its age and mostly complete, the engine turns over with some compression. Ideal for restoration or sympathetic fettling, it could be put back on the road in its original condition. Sold strictly as viewed and with no documentation, the original registration number is on the DVLA database, so it might be able to be reclaimed For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Although, that did not stop the marque recording a number of TT veictorires including the 1929 event. A hallmark of all Marston Sunbeams was theRegardless of their Model designation, Marston Sunbeams were characterised by their superb fit and finish with ‘MB 236’ being no exception. Part of the vendor’s collection since 1991, he describes it as being in ‘excellemt overall’ condition both cosmetically and mechanically. The Light Tourer’s short stroke 500cc engine was famously free-revving and coupled to a 3-speed gearbox it offered impressive performance, handling and flexibility, apparently exploited to the full by the vendor during the Isle of Man Centenary celebrations! Notably, an engine of the type fitted in ‘MB’ still holds the accolade as being the last ‘side valve’ to win a TT race. Although ‘MB’ has proved to be a very reliable machine during the vendor’s ownership, he advises a routine check-over before use. ‘MB 236’ offers a good opportunity to acquire an excellent example of a much respected and lively 'flat tanker' with outstanding sporting credentials. Paperwork includes V5C and MOTs dating back to 1991 etc. For more information, please contact: Stewart Parker info@handh.co.uk 07836 346875
Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 39M00473* MOT: N/ANicely restored mid 1980s Montesa 237cc trials modelIdeal for competing in twin shock, air-cooled eventsNever road registered so no documentsMontesa was formed in Barcelona 1944 by Pedro Permanyer and Francisco Xavier ‘Paco’ Bultó, with their first model based on a French Motobécane. They soon began to produce their own engines and saw the advantage of competing in sports events to promote the marque. Bultó designed a 125cc roadster, which was tested in many of the trials and off-road events that were popular in Spain at the time, and this model went on to enter the 1951 International Six Days Trial ridden by Bultó and G. Cavestany. In 1958, chief designer Bultó left, starting his own company under the Bultaco brand name, beginning many years of fierce competition between the two companies. Together with another Spanish firm, Ossa, they went on to dominate trials events in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, with Montesa winning numerous world championships. This Cota 242 has been restored by its enthusiast owner, maintaining a good degree of originality. He carried out a full engine overhaul including the crankshaft, piston and gearbox, with all bearings and seals replaced, the Nicasil bore replated and the engine cases powder-coated. The wheels have been rebuilt with alloy rims and fitted with new tyres, and all the cosmetics have been refinished. Displayed since the rebuild, it's a very attractive bike to look at and once recommissioned would make a competitive mount for competing in twin-shock and air-cooled classic trials events. It looks to have only had off-road use in the past so there are no documents included. *The engine and frame number are both hard to read under a thick layer of paint but appear to both be 39M 000473.

Radnall and Co. of Dartmouth Street, Birmingham, produced Radco motorcycles from 1913 to 1934 whilst also producing cycle components. The marque was first seen at the 1913 Olympia Show with a simple design featuring a vertically mounted 2½ hp two-stroke engine of 211cc, with rear magneto, petroil lubrication, external flywheel and Radco forks. A chain-driven two-speed Albion gearbox and belt final-drive, or a single-speed with direct belt variations were offered. Post World War I, the 211cc model continued. That model was later joined by a 247cc version in 1920. Gearboxes were changed to Burman with two or three speeds.This lightweight 1923 Radco No2 was restored by the previous owner some 30+ years ago. It was purchased by the late vendor as a restored machine to go into his lightweight collection of 1920s motorcycles. Registered new in Carmarthenshire, it subsequently spent the majority of its life there.

G. Pantlin, who came home 22nd out of some 60 finishers with an average speed of 75.6mph. The Clubman’s TT machines had all-aluminium engines, and cams and magnesium cam boxes from the Manx Norton. They were also fitted with a special close-ratio first gearbox and a vented front brake, which is still fitted to this survivor. Sadly, there is no documentary evidence to confirm its history. The machine was kept by its first owner until 1990. It changed hands to the second owner sometime in 1993 who he set about a full and complete overhaul in 1997. Once completed, it resided in his private collection until 2000. The vendor then sold the Norton because of his disabilities andthe latest owner used it briefly. . Not run for several years it will require recommissioning before returning to the road. Presented as a standard machine, apart from a dual-seat, there is a current V5C present.

Registration No: WV 4589 Frame No: 4413 MOT: ExemptA nice early Velocette KSSStalled restoration projectIvan Rhodes dating certificateTwo continuation logbooksRenowned for the quality of its products, Velocette 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 KSS featured an overhead camshaft engine that was quite rare in a road bike at the time and formed the basis of the championship-winning KTTs. Here is a great opportunity to purchase a 1934 Velocette KSS project. Sold new by Pike & Co. of Exeter on 23rd December 1933, it was owned by a Mr. Girocot of Shaftsbury, Dorset. It was purchased as a project by the late vendor in 2020 but, like the other machines on offer, he never finished the restoration. Mostly complete but with some parts missing, it appears to have had some engine and gearbox work. The KSS is not on the DVLA database but there are two accompanying old-style logbooks. With the help of the Velocette Owners’ Club, it may be possible to retain the original registration number. Sold strictly as viewed.

As well as the sports Comet, Vincent produced a TT racing model, the Comet Special (a TT model with lights) and the standard Vincent Meteor, which shared many of the same cycle parts. The prototype Series A was refined and developed into a production model Series B, but after World War II it was the development of the Series C that represents the ultimate Vincent 500cc single.This 1951 Vincent Comet race machine was previously from the estate of the ultimate all-round motorcyclist, Julian Bishop; the Comet benefits from matching frame and engine numbers. The current vendor purchased the Comet ‘racer’ to go with his Shadow. It is not known what has been done to the engine with regards to performance, but it has been fitted with Greyflash/Lightning-type brake plates with air scoops and there’s a Greyflash-type Albion gearbox. The comet has not been run in recent years but turns-over and will need some light recommissioning before use. There are no documents with this lot.
