Max Klinger 1857 Leipzig - 1920 Großjena Die Neue Salome. Um 1903. Bronze mit schwarzbrauner Patina. Auf der Rückseite des Sockels mit dem Gießerstempel 'Akt. Ges. vorm. Fa. H. Gladenbeck u. Sohn Berlin-Friedrigshagen 2'. 68 x 20,5 x 23 cm (26,7 x 8 x 9 in). • Die zugrunde liegende Marmorskulptur wird kurz nach der Fertigstellung 1894 für das Museum der Bildenden Künste Leipzig angekauft • Faszinierendes, zentrales Motiv des Symbolismus in Kunst und Literatur der Jahrhundertwende • Bronzeversion nach einer der vier berühmten polychromen Skulpturen Max Klingers (weitere: Kassandra, Beethoven, Elsa Asenijeff) • Größte Ausführung der verfügbaren Bronzeversionen • Aktuell präsentiert die Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn eine Ausstellung zum 100. Todestag Max Klingers (bis 31. Januar 2021). Die Salome reiht sich in das Figurenarsenal der verführerischen Femme fatale des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts ein, die die männlich dominierte Künstlerwelt ebenso fasziniert wie beunruhigt. Das ewige Mysterium der Frau, deren erotische Kraft dem Mann schließlich zum Verhängnis wird, kondensiert in der Kunst in literarischen und mythologischen überzeitlichen Archetypen, angefangen bei der biblischen Eva, über Helena und Medea bis hin zur sexuell verfügbaren Frau der Straße oder der zahlreichen Vergnügungshäuser. Zu einer Zeit, in der in einer Art psychoanalytischer Beschäftigung avant la lettre die instinkthaften Triebe als primäre, evolutionär bedingte Kraft des Fortbestehens der menschlichen Zivilisation, aber auch als Antrieb künstlerischen Ausdrucks begriffen werden, ist eben auch die Kunst im Erkunden des Unterbewusstseins und mit dessen Materialisierung in neuen Ausdrucksformen begriffen. Die biblische Figur der Salome erfährt so nach ihrer bereits jahrhundertelangen Existenz in der christlichen Kunst eine Umdeutung. In der biblischen Geschichte ist das junge Mädchen lediglich das Mittel zum Zweck für den Vernichtungswillen der verderbten, ehebrecherischen Mutter Herodias und beispielsweise in der Renaissance bei Filippo Lippi als solches dargestellt. In der Kunst und Literatur der Décadence im Frankreich der 1870er Jahre rückt zunächst Herodias etwa in Werken Stéphane Mallarmés und Gustave Flauberts in den Blickpunkt des Interesses, die Max Klinger vermutlich kennt. Bald wird jedoch die jugendlich-verführerische Salome selbst zur zentralen Figur. Oscar Wilde sorgt mit seinem 1893 veröffentlichten Drama 'Salomé' für einen Skandal mit der zutiefst erotisch aufgeladenen Interpretation der Erzählung, in der das unerwiderte sexuelle Verlangen Salomes gegenüber dem ihr moralisch überlegenen Jochanaan schließlich zu dessen Verderben führt. Als Motiv der Kunst treten Wollust und orientalisierender Luxus in den Vordergrund, aufgegriffen von Gustave Moreau und zahlreichen Pariser Salonmalern. Die sexuelle Verfügbarkeit der Frau ist dort mit Prostitution und dem schillernden Kurtisanentum des Fin de Siècle zwischen Glanz, Elend und Verderben allgegenwärtig. 1885/86 ist auch Max Klinger in Paris und hält dort in der Zeichnung einer unbekannten koketten Pariserin das „Urbild der neuen Salome“ fest, deren Gesicht sich in fast kindlicher Unschuld dem Betrachter unmittelbar und frontal darbietet, was im zeichnerischen Werk Klingers aufgrund seiner Eindringlichkeit Seltenheitscharakter hat. Dasselbe Mädchen dient ihm wenig später auch für sein Gemälde 'Urteil des Paris' für die Gestalt der Venus als Aktmodell. Als Klinger sich anschließend 1886 nach Rom begibt, entstehen weitere Gewandstudien und Studien der Hochsteckfrisur, wobei Klinger bereits in Paris die Absicht äußert, den Kopf in Marmor auszuführen. Die Arbeiten beginnen in Rom, wo auch erstmals der Titel „Die Neue Salome“ fällt. Um 1893 schließlich wird die aus unterschiedlich farbigem Marmor zusammengesetzte Statue fertiggestellt, zu deren Füßen die Köpfe Johannes des Täufers und eines älteren Mannes ruhen. Mit dem bereits in der Zeichnung irritierend reglosen, leeren Blick des Mädchens aus den nun aus Bernstein eingesetzten Augen, unberührt und leicht spöttisch, setzt sie sich über Jugend und Alter hinweg, ebenso über moralische Größe und Verderbtheit, die sich schließlich dem Triumph des Weiblichen unterzuordnen haben. Eine solche Kindfrau, in deren Unschuld die zukünftige Gefahr dennoch unvermeidlich miteinbeschrieben ist, fasziniert durch ihre Unerreichbarkeit und Ungreifbarkeit: „Es giebt Frauen, die, wo man bei ihnen auch nachsucht, kein Inneres haben, sondern reine Masken sind. Der Mann ist zu beklagen, der sich mit solchen fast gespenstischen, nothwendig unbefriedigenden Wesen einlässt, aber gerade sie vermögen das Verlangen des Mannes auf das stärkste zu erregen: er sucht nach ihrer Seele — und sucht immer fort“, schreibt Friedrich Nietzsche, von dessen Ideen Klinger beeinflusst wird, in „Menschliches, Allzumenschliches“ 1886. Bei der Bronze bleiben die Augen maskenhaft leer. Der ungewöhnliche spitze Büstenausschnitt, der die Gewandöffnung der Marmorskulptur aufnimmt, verleiht der Skulptur einen schwebenden und fragilen, aber zugleich dolchartigen, durchdringenden Charakter. Zugleich lässt die V-Form noch andere Assoziationen zu. Diese epochemachende Symbolik der 'Neuen Salome' und ihre ausdrucksstarke Vielschichtigkeit veranlassen Klinger letztendlich, die Bronzegüsse bei der Firma Gladenbeck in Berlin im Oktober 1903 zu autorisieren.

1966 Triumph Metisse 500 ScramblerRegistration no. GHR 70DFrame no. H46426Engine no. KH16539Odometer reading: 11,111MoT expiry date: 10/11/2021*Built by the late Sam Griffiths (DNG Race Engines)*Purchased from Sam Griffiths' estate in 2017*Bromyard Speed Festival participant*Bringsty Grand Prix competitor at the Goodwood RevivalThis Triumph Metisse formerly belonged to Sam Griffiths, owner DNG Race Engines of Suckley, Worcestershire. Sam began his scrambling career on the ex-Terry Sleeman Triumph Metisse in 1971 and it is believed that this bike harks back to those beginnings but with added enhancements that Sam developed over his career as a master engine-builder. The Metisse is believed to be the last bike Sam built for himself, and since 2010 it has enjoyed considerable success at various events including the Red Marley hill climb. The vendor purchased the Metisse from Sam Griffiths' estate in 2017, since when it has taken part in all the Bromyard Speed Festivals and competed in both Bringsty Grand Prix events at the Goodwood Revival.To Schedule a video condition report for this lot please click hereFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1965 Royal Enfield 736cc Interceptor Series IRegistration no. APO 71CFrame no. 69869Engine no. YB16552Built to satisfy the North American market's insatiable appetite for ever-larger engines, the 736cc Interceptor arrived in the UK in 1962 and was closely based on the Constellation but with the added refinement of a dynamically balanced crankshaft. In 1966 Royal Enfield was acquired by Norton Villiers and much of the business sold off. After a brief hiatus in production, Royal Enfield introduced the Series II Interceptor, with revised wet-sump engine, and the model continued in this form until the company's demise in 1970. Although it sold in relatively small numbers compared to the more popular BSA and Triumph twins, the big Interceptor had a character all of its own and even today commands a loyal following. This Interceptor was extensively restored in the early 2000s while belonging to the immediately preceding owner, as evidenced by the substantial quantity of bills on file, many from recognised marque specialists Hitchcock's Motorcycles of Solihull. The odometer reading is 13 miles, which is believed to be the distance covered since the rebuild's completion. 'APO 71C' also comes with an expired MoT (2008) and an old-style V5C document. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1961 Royal Enfield 693cc Constellation Registration no. 830 AWKFrame no. 9745Engine no. SB10437Like BSA and Triumph before it, Royal Enfield went on to enlarge its 500cc twin, eclipsing its rivals with the 693cc Meteor, Britain's largest vertical twin at the time of its introduction for 1953. The crankcase remained fundamentally unchanged but the bore/stroke dimensions and engine top-end were those of the 350 Bullet, doubled up and restyled. Extensive revisions to the engine and a new frame (shared by the Bullet singles) ushered in the Super Meteor in the autumn of 1955. Maximum power went up to 40bhp and top speed increased to just over the magic 'ton'. While the Super Meteor was a fine performer, Enfield's next development - the Constellation - was outstanding. Based on its immediate predecessor, the new sports roadster featured a 51bhp engine, revised frame, and a handsome 4.25-gallon fuel tank. On test with Motor Cycling magazine in Belgium, a Constellation recorded a top speed of 115mph while averaging 51mpg, impressive figures by any standard. This example of one of Britain's rarer parallel twins was in its present condition when purchased by the Museum from Bill Little Motorcycles in May 2004. The sales invoice is on file and the Enfield also comes with SORN paperwork and a V5C Registration Certificate. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection1959 Triumph 649cc T120 BonnevilleRegistration no. HFO 139Frame no. D1458Engine no. T120 D1458Hurriedly prepared for its debut at the 1958 Earls Court Show (it was too late for inclusion in the 1959 catalogue) Triumph's Bonneville arrived at a time when young motorcycle enthusiasts wanted style as well as substance and had the money to pay for it. Finished in striking two-tone Tangerine/Pearl Grey with matching mudguards and black cycle parts, the bike was a real looker; and the name 'Bonneville', chosen in honour of Johnny Allen's record-breaking achievements with his Triumph-powered streamliner at the eponymous Utah Salt Flats, was an inspired piece of marketing. Works tester Percy Tait had achieved 128mph at MIRA on a development bike, and even though this figure proved beyond the reach of the production version the Bonnie was at least as fast as the opposition and much better looking, which was all that mattered. A 1960 model built in November 1959, this Bonneville comes with numerous invoices relating to its restoration in the early 1990s while in previous ownership, including many from renowned marque specialist Hughie Hancox. Acquired by the Museum in 2004 and restored by them, the machine also comes with an attached commemorative silver plaque, a Certificate of Authenticity, and an old-style V5C document. The current odometer reading is 554 miles, which is believed to be the distance covered since the rebuild's completion. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1951 Triumph 649cc 6T ThunderbirdRegistration no. JUK 186Frame no. 15758NAEngine no. 6T 15758NAAlways a step ahead of their rivals, Triumph followed up the trend-setting Speed Twin 500 of pre-war days by being first in the field with a 650cc parallel twin. Announced in September 1949, the 650 Thunderbird was Triumph's response to demands for more power emanating from American racers and British sidecarists alike. A spectacular launch stunt saw three Thunderbirds lap the banked Montlhéry circuit in France at over 90mph for 500 miles, after which they each achieved a flying lap of 100mph-plus and were ridden back to the Meriden factory, a quite outstanding achievement. A 1952 model first registered in December 1951, this sprung hub-equipped example was purchased for the Museum in November 2003 and restored by them, as commemorated by the attached silver plaque. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. Offered with an old-style V5C document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1975 Triumph 741cc Legend No. 058Registration no. KHP 662NFrame no. T160 CK02898Engine no. T160 CK02898When NVT collapsed, race-shop foreman Les Williams set up a business specialising in BSA-Triumph triples and built a number of replicas of the famous racer, 'Slippery Sam'. Les also developed the ultimate street triple: the T160-based Legend café racer, which first appeared in the early 1980s. Hand built, the Legend was produced in limited numbers into the early 1990s; it is estimated that only 60 were made and today this ultra-rare 'classic superbike' is highly sought after. Displaying a total of 4,183 miles on the odometer, this example has an engraved plaque on the top yoke stating that it was built by L P Williams for Stan Trowell. Acquired for the Museum in October 2003, the Legend comes with old/current V5C/V5 documents, both incorrectly recording the frame/engine number prefix as 'C4' rather than 'CK'. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1968 Triumph 740cc T150 TridentRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. T150T 121Engine no. T150T 121 (see text)Essentially a 'Tiger-and-a-half', the Triumph and BSA 750cc Triples were launched in 1968. BSA-Triumph had learned a lot about engine development from racing the 500cc twins, and the Triples were the most powerful machines in their class. Today they enjoy an enthusiastic following worldwide and are supported by numerous recognised specialists and a first rate owners' club, the TR3OC. Dating from the first season of production and believed restored, this T150 Trident was re-imported from California in 1990 and purchased by the Museum in July 2003. Currently displaying a total of only 4.9 miles on the odometer, the machine is offered with the 1990 and 2003 purchase receipts and form C&E 386. It should be noted that the background engraving to the engine number boss is missing, suggesting that the number has been re-stamped. Furthermore, the machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection, 7 recorded miles from new 1979 Triumph 744cc T140E BonnevilleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. T140E DA20937Engine no. T140E DA20937The final phase of Triumph twin development began in 1972 with the first appearance of the enlarged-to-750cc version of the Bonneville; the increase in bore size necessitating a new crankcase to accommodate the wider barrel. Other improvements included a new ten-stud cylinder head, triplex primary chain, stronger transmission, and a disc front brake, while a five-speed gearbox, introduced on the preceding 650 Bonneville, was standard equipment. The T140 remained for many years the UK's top-selling 750 and was voted Motor Cycle News 'Machine of the Year' in 1979. We are advised by the vendor that this Bonneville is a 'new old 'stock' example with only 7 miles recorded (original 'DOT' labels are present). Accompanying paperwork consists of the 2004 purchase receipt and form V55/3 listing the supplying dealer as Terry Hobbs Motorcycles. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1984 Triumph 744cc Trident T150V 'Rob North' ReplicaRegistration no. KHB 240P (see text)Frame no. ME00117Engine no. T150V NK45136Inspired by the BSA-Triumph works racers of the early 1970s, this superb road-legal special was built by expert restorer Eric Parr (hence the E.D.P. initials) in 1983-1984 and won the 'Classic Bike of the Year' award at the 1984 International Classic Bike Show. It later featured in Classic Bike magazine (December 1984 issue), appearing on the front cover (copy available). The frame is the legendary Rob North type used by the factory's all-conquering triples in 1971; it was obtained new from Miles Engineering, who made nearly 500 such frames. A box-section swinging arm allows a wide rear tyre to be fitted, while twin 10' front discs provide powerful braking. The engine is from a late five-speed Trident T150V. Other noteworthy features include a 3-into-1 exhaust with megaphone silencer; Akront alloy wheel rims; and a works replica 'letterbox' fairing complete with oil cooler. Twin headlamps are fitted in the style of a 1970s endurance racer, and the rear lamp is neatly incorporated into the seat which, like the aluminium oil tank, replicates factory short-circuit items. The stickers all relate to products actually used. With 120mph-plus performance available, the addition of rear-view mirrors is understandable. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. There is no registration document with this Lot.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection, 14 miles displayed on the odometer 1957 Triumph 500cc TRWRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 25894NAEngine no. TRW25894 NADeveloped in the immediate post-WW2 years to fulfil British Government contracts for a new military motorcycle, the TRW followed the overall lines of Triumph's trend-setting parallel twins but with the simpler and more easily maintained side valves rather then the civilian models' overhead valves. In keeping with the military's requirements for robustness and simplicity, the TRW retained a rigid frame while featuring Triumph's telescopic front fork as used by many models across the range. The vendor advises us that this TRW, originally despatched to Canada, is a new-old-stock example that was still in its crate when purchased in the 1980s. A total of only 14 miles is displayed on the odometer and the 'CAUTION ENGINE NOT RUN IN' sticker is still on the speedo! The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.

Pressed steel bodywork of conventional appearance was wrapped around a duplex loop frame. For the 249cc version, comfortable cruising at 55mph and an average fuel consumption of around 80mpg were reported by contemporary road-testers. Apparently restored, this twin-cylinder Tigress was purchased 'as is' by the Museum in July 2010. Accompanying documentation consists of an old-style V5C, an expired tax disc (1967), and a Vintage Motor Scooter Club dating certificate. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1969 Triumph 750cc Trident Drag BikeRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. none foundEngine no. not stamped•Built in the USA by Bud Hare•Set a new class record of 169.33mph in 1969 at the Bonneville Salt Flats•Ridden by Jeff GoughThe unique Triumph Trident-powered drag bike offered here was built in the USA by Racing Service Center (owners Harry Seevers and Bud Hare) with funding from Triumph of America. Built to compete in the up-to-750cc APS-AF Class (Altered frame, Partial Streamlining, Altered Fuel (methanol), this machine set a new class record of 169.331mph in 1969 at the Bonneville Salt Flats ridden by Jeff Gough. Its creator was Bud Hare from Southern California, the legendary motorcycle tuner and drag racer credited with being the first man to build a twin-engined drag bike – the Triumph-powered 'Dübble Bübble' – in 1953. The three-cylinder Trident engine is mounted well back in the special hard-tail frame, no doubt to improve traction, while it is easy to understand why hub-centre steering was chosen in preference to a flex-prone telescopic fork. Fuel is pumped from tanks mounted low down in front of the engine; electronic ignition fires two plugs per cylinder; and large Japanese Mikuni carburettors replace the standard British Amal instruments. The Triumph was kept in California by owner Bud Hare and came near to being scrapped when he died in 1985. His widow decided to get rid of the bike and only the fact that the scrap man was a motorcycle enthusiast saved it from the crusher. He told a motorcycle-dealer friend, who bought the bike and preserved it. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. There are no documents with this Lot.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

TVM14In 2003, the first Triumph factory team for 30 years burst upon the UK road racing scene and secured an historic Isle of Man TT victory. Triumph had launched the TT600 Daytona, a lighter and faster version of its original TT600, for 2003. To promote the Daytona in the ultra-competitive 600cc market, the company contested the UK Supersport championship, signing rising-star teenager Craig Jones and veteran Jim Moodie. The race programme was entrusted to the experienced ValMoto team, run by Jack Valentine and Steve Mellor. The Daytonas faced stiff opposition on short circuits but Jones gained his first podium finish in 2003's final Supersport round at Donington Park. However, the season's peak achievement was at the TT where New Zealander Bruce Anstey won the Junior race, taking Triumph's first TT victory since Slippery Sam's 750cc Production success in 1975. Team-mates Moodie and John McGuinness finished 9th and 10th respectively, securing Triumph the Manufacturers' Award. A winter of work at ValMoto made the Daytona more competitive in the 2004 Supersport series, as demonstrated by Jones' win at Donington Park.One of the three used at the 2003 TT, the Daytona offered here was also used by Craig Jones for short circuit events. The Triumph was purchased from ValMoto in 2005 and comes with its purchase receipt. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the Collection of Carole Nash1925 Triumph 494cc Model P Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. WU 3774 (see text)Frame no. 931556Engine no. 228553 CORA landmark machine in the development of the motorcycle in Britain, Triumph's Model P debuted at the 1924 Motor Cycle Show. A no-frills, sidevalve-engined model, the newcomer was priced at £42 17s 6d, at which level it undercut every other 500cc machine then on sale in the UK. The first batch manufactured was not without its faults, but once these had been sorted the Model P was a runaway success. Output from Triumph's Priory Street works was soon running at an astonishing 1,000 machines per week, and the Model P's arrival undoubtedly hastened the demise of many a minor manufacturer. Production continued until the decade's end, by which time the Model P had spawned a number of derivatives – models N, Q and QA - and lost penny-pinching features such as its guide-less valves and bicycle-type front brake. Believed to be an older restoration, this Triumph Model P comes with a detached sidecar, chassis, and wheel: all in need of renovation. There is no registration document with this Lot; however, the registration mark is on the HPI database. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the machine's registration status prior to bidding.

Offered from the Collection of Carole Nash1955 Triumph 499cc TrophyRegistration no. JPN 287Frame no. 64038Engine no. TR5 64038From the time of its introduction in 1948 the Triumph Trophy was established as a true all-rounder: a machine that could be ridden to work during the week and then, with extraneous components removed, competed on at weekends in its owner's chosen branch of motorcycle sport. Although catalogued primarily as a trials machine, its true forte was scrambles and the ISDT, events in which the power of the tuneable Triumph twin worked to its advantage and its weight was less of a handicap. The arrival of a new swinging-arm frame for 1955 finally put paid to the Trophy's pretensions as a one-day trials mount, for although the rear suspension enhanced traction and improved the handling, the lengthened wheelbase and increased weight rendered it un-competitive. Nevertheless, the TR5 remained an extremely competent and stylish roadster until the end of production in 1958.The matching-numbers Trophy offered here was purchased from Mr Bryan Kemp of East Sussex in June 2011, as evidenced by the sales receipt and correspondence on file. An accompanying document lists details of its restoration and states that the Triumph had been owned (presumably by Mr Kemp) for 30+ years and had had three owners. Not used for some time, the machine will require re-commissioning and the customary safety checks before returning to the road. Offered with a V5C document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

2008 Rickman Matchless 499cc G80CS MkIIIRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. R4375MEngine no. G80CS/4709The Rickman brothers - Don and Derek - were already established moto-cross stars when they built the first Métisse in 1959 and within a decade their company would grow to become one of the biggest and best-known independent motorcycle frame-makers. Having started out campaigning Triumph-engined BSAs, for 1961 the brothers introduced the first Rickman frame, the Métisse MkIII, which was produced in substantial quantities. It was followed by the more compact MkIV, intended for the unitary construction Triumph T100 and BSA Victor engines, while there were also frames for two-stroke singles and a road racing chassis. Unable to compete with the Japanese factories, the Rickmans gave up frame making in the early 1980s and the rights to their MkIII design, together with those relating to the Rickman name, eventually passed to former moto-cross rider Adrian Moss, who had bought Rickman's stock of parts when production ceased. This particular machine was built by Rickman Motorcycles in 2008 and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Adrian Moss. The machine is powered by one of the most competitive moto-cross engines of the pre-'65 period: the handsome all-alloy Matchless G80CS. Purchased directly from Rickman Motorcycles, a new MkII fuel tank was fitted in April 2020 and the machine is described by the private vendor as in excellent condition throughout.

T120 DU83246Triumph's top-of-the-range sports roadster, the Bonneville arrived at what aficionados consider its ultimate specification with the launch of the 1968 model. By this time the frame had been sorted and 12-volt electrics standardised, but welcome improvements included improved forks, independently adjustable ignition points, Amal Concentric carburettors, and a twin-leading-shoe front brake. As featured in Classic Bike magazine ('Best of the Bonnies', June 1989 issue), this '68 Bonneville was restored to original condition for the immediately preceding owners by Coventry-based Clive Humphries in the early 1980s. For the succeeding eight-or-so years it was ridden regularly and shown throughout England, winning numerous concours awards including 'Best Classic Bike' at Stafford. Dry stored since 1994, it was purchased by the late owner at Bonhams' Stafford sale in October 2004 (Lot 385). The tax disc in the holder expired on 30th April 2014 and it is believed that the Triumph has not been ridden since then. On file is a sheet of hand-written notes detailing various cleaning and maintenance tasks undertaken between 2016 and 2018, while additional documentation includes an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1974) and an old-style V5C. An instruction manual and a workshop manual are included in the sale. Unused for several years, the Bonnie will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive renovation before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

T140V DP81863JIn 1977 Triumph introduced a special, limited edition Bonneville to celebrate HM Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. This was basically the standard T140V Bonnie enhanced by a red, white, and blue on silver finish, coach-lined cycle parts, and a chromed timing cover and primary chain case. Originally the plan was to manufacture 1,000 units for the UK market, but such was the demand that a further 1,000 were built for North America and another 400 or so for export elsewhere. This example of one of the more collectible of later Bonnevilles has covered a genuine 7 miles only from new. Its late owner purchased the Triumph at a UK auction in May 1996, at which time it was described as having been supplied new to the then vendor, a Triumph dealership that had carefully mothballed it, preserving the machine in 'brand new' condition. Unused since acquisition, the Bonnie will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive renovation before taking to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. It should be noted, there is no key present. Accompanying documentation includes the auction catalogue, assorted correspondence, and a Triumph Owners' MCC dating letter. An owner's handbook and Haynes workshop manual are included in the sale.

Believed 1927 works TT 1927 Triumph 498cc Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. DFP 466Frame no. 702232Engine no. 122031 Crankcase mating no's T7 1 / T7 1* Believed Works TT machine* Offered from long term ownership (since 1984)The Triumph factory had not had much success on the Island in the twenties, but a lot of effort went into the 1927 Senior TT with no fewer than six works entries and a private entry by Vic Horsman. Four of the seven Triumphs finished the race, but ironically it was Tommy Simister's privately entered machine which finished 3rd, well ahead of the works bikes. Harris crashed out at Quarter Bridge on the first lap, Quinn crashed on lap 4, Wilmot Evans retired on the last lap, but Harry Hobbs finished 12th, Tyrell Smith was 13th, and Norman Black was 18th. It is not known who rode which machine.The racing machines differed from the production model in relatively minor aspects: twin pannier petrol tanks were fitted with the gearchange mounted on the right hand tank, though Simister's petrol tanks were of a slightly different shape, and his gearchange was mounted on the gearbox - like the production machines. Large cylindrical oil tanks were fitted beneath the saddle, with an auxiliary foot pedal allowing the rider to give the engine an additional charge of oil without having to remove his hand from the bars. Andre steering dampers were fitted, and the front forks were modified with lighter springs and B&D dampers.These Triumphs are certainly worthy of further research. The motorcycle offered here is believed to be one of the six works bikes. It was bought by the late owner from Stephen Griffith in 1984 following a period on display in the Stanford Hall Collection (receipt on file). We note that the Stanford Hall brochure makes no mention of this bike's involvement in the 1927 TT, but states that 'it was raced by E. Archibald in the Amateur TT, and that it was rebuilt by Colonel Jack Churchill who favoured the fancy copper exhaust pipes'. The bikes were numbered T (for TT?), 7 (for 1927?), and 1 to 6. This machine's headstock is stamped T.7.5, each crankcase is stamped T7 1 behind the cylinder barrel, and the gearbox is stamped T7 in two places. Interestingly, a sister bike which Bonhams sold in 2012 featured frame no. T.7.1 and crankcase nos. T7 5. The late owner's sons were told by their father that it was believed the factory swapped the engines and frames around after the race. The age-related registration number dates from 1982. A splendid 100 mph Bonniksen speedometer is fitted – and has apparently been there for a very long time. A V5C registration document accompanies the machine which has not been run since 2012, so careful re-commissioning is essential before further use.

Offered directly from the estate of the late Les Williams, Ex-1930 Manx Grad Prix 1930 AJS 346cc R7 Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. OG 4277Frame no. R145260Engine no. 145260•Ridden to 10th place in the 1930 Manx Grand Prix Junior Race•Long-term ownership 1932-1993•Dry stored and not ridden since 1957•Restored by Les WilliamsIn 1927 AJS's works racers appeared with a new overhead-camshaft engine. Instead of the customary shaft and bevel gears, the camshaft was chain driven, its distinctive cast-alloy case extending forwards to the front-mounted magneto. After initial problems had been sorted out, works rider Jimmy Simpson rode the 350cc version to victory in the Belgian, Swiss, Austrian and European Grands Prix. A catalogued model from 1928, the 'cammy' AJS was built in 350cc (K7) and 500cc (K10) capacities initially. Both models were extensively improved for 1929, boasting redesigned frames, Webb forks, a stronger crankcase, different camshaft, larger brakes, a four-speed gearbox and the fashionable saddle tank. By the season's end the 350cc model had chalked up victories in the German TT and the Grands Prix of Austria, Ulster and Europe. This AJS R7 was prepared in the Racing Department at the Wolverhampton factory for The Premier Motor Co of Birmingham, to whom it was first registered on 1st September 1930. Eight days later it was entered in the Manx Grand Prix Junior Race ridden by Noel Jordan, who finished the wet event in 10th place. It would be Jordan's only MGP finish out of six attempts. On 24th June 1931, the AJS was registered to Jordan and then back to Premier that same day, passing to its next (effectively first) private owner, T Cross of Acocks Green, Birmingham on 3rd July 1931. On 16th April 1932 the machine was registered to L Wooldridge of Erdington and then on 24th June that year to Frank Thornhill, then of Small Heath, Birmingham, who would own it for the next 60-plus years. Last taxed in 1957, the AJS was kept in Frank Thornhill's garage at his home in Coventry and never ridden again. When Frank Thornhill died in 1993 his daughter sold 'OG 4277' to Les Williams, the legendary Triumph Racing Department foreman and creator of that best known of all racing Triumphs, 'Slippery Sam'. Les laid up the machine for several years before restoring it to its original racing specification. (Following the 1930 Manx Grand Prix, its only race, the AJS had been used as a road bike.) 'OG 4277' comes with an extensive history file containing copies of the original and continuation logbooks; correspondence with cammy AJS authority Ivan Rhodes; a selection of 'as purchased' and in-restoration photographs; copy V5C document; and a quantity of photocopied articles, press cuttings and photographs.

'Egli-Vincent' 499cc Comet ProjectRegistration no. MRD 736JFrame no. CTG002Engine no. F5AB/2A/5453 Crankcase mating no. 4ROne of the world's best known motorcycle frame makers, Swiss engineer Fritz Egli built his first frame in what would turn out to be a highly successful attempt to tame the wayward handling of his Vincent v-win race bike. The Vincent used a spine-type frame and so did Egli, though his was tubular rather than box-section and all-welded rather than bolt-up in construction. This trademark large-diameter spine has been a feature of virtually all Egli's frames made since, proving adaptable to almost all types of motorcycle engine layout from British singles to across-the-frame Japanese fours. These days widely regarded as a marque in its own right, it is the Egli-Vincent, with its exciting combination of classic power and modern chassis technology, that has proved to be his most enduring legacy. As Fritz Egli moved on to other projects, the frames continued to be produced in limited numbers by other specialists, this CTG example (manufactured in 1971) being the work of Cyril Maylem (see documentation on file). Other noteworthy features include a Kawasaki fuel tank; BSA-Triumph TLS conical front brake; alloy wheel rims; flashing indicators; and alternator electrics. 'MRD 736J' has been registered as an Egli-Vincent since 2001 and appears not to have been used for some considerable time (the attached tax disc expired in 2002). Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with old/current V5/V5C documents.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Introduced for 1927, the Model W changed little for the next couple of years, becoming the WS in 1930 when it adopted the fashionable saddle tank, and was dropped when the 1931 range was announced. Apparently complete and in original condition having been stored for many years, this Model WS formerly belonged to the lady vendor's father and before that to her uncle. It is understood that the engine was professionally rebuilt in 1979 and the frame repainted. The inside of the fuel tank is rusted, but after the carburettor float bowl had been filled with petrol the engine started and ran in October 2020 having last been run circa 2000. Offered for restoration, the machine comes with an instruction book, an old-style buff logbook, and a V5C document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1943 Triumph 343cc 3HWRegistration no. not UK registeredFrame no. TL 36905Engine no. 3HW 46905When war broke out in September 1939, Triumph's entire stock of completed civilian machines was requisitioned by the War Office. The Coventry firm went on to develop a 350cc twin-cylinder model – the 3TW – specifically for military use, only for the destruction of its factory in an air raid in November 1940 to scupper the project. Installed in new premises at Meriden, Warwickshire, Triumph recommenced production of the single-cylinder sidevalve 3SW and overhead-valve 3HW models. The latter was based on the pre-war Tiger 80 sports roadster, the engine of which was modified to incorporate rocker boxes cast integrally with the cast-iron cylinder head, aluminium alloy being in short supply. Triumph's single-cylinder models were used mainly by the Royal Navy for despatch duties and general liaison, with the less-powerful 3SW reserved for the WRNS. Making it highly unusual to say the least, and possibly unique, this 3HW has been modified with a swinging-arm conversion, complete with friction dampers, giving it a distantly Italian look. The private vendor advises us that the machine was modified in the 1950s and has remained un-restored since then. It last ran in September 2019 and is described by the owner as running well. Accompanying documentation consists of copies of the motorcycle's Italian registration papers and Registro Storico Triumph entry.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1954 Royal Enfield 500 TwinRegistration no. YSL 150Frame no. G2/27809Engine no. T3230Launched in 1948, Royal Enfield's 500cc Twin followed orthodox lines, though the use of separate barrels and cylinder heads, and the oil tank's incorporation within the crankcase - a feature inherited from the firm's singles - was unusual. The new engine was installed in what was basically the Bullet frame: the latter an advanced design featuring swinging-arm rear suspension. Just like AMC, BSA, Triumph and Norton, Royal Enfield went on to enlarge the Twin, eclipsing its rivals with the (nominally) 700cc Meteor for 1953, Britain's largest vertical twin at that time. The crankcase remained fundamentally unchanged but the bore/stroke dimensions and engine top-end were those of the 350 Bullet, doubled up and restyled. The 500 Twin continued in the range, latterly as the Meteor Minor and Sports Twin, until 1962. Believed to date from around 1954, the year the distinctive fork-top 'casquette' was introduced, this Royal Enfield 500 Twin was purchased by the vendor in April 2010. The Enfield is offered for re-commissioning, or possibly more extensive renovation, and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns). Accompanying paperwork consists of two old MoTs (most recent expired 2011) and old/current V5C Registration Certificates.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1950 Triumph 498cc Tiger 100Registration no. XSY 632Frame no. TF 16118Engine no. T100 16118Although Edward Turner's Triumph Speed Twin caused a sensation when it appeared at the 1937 Motorcycle Show, few of its admirers can have guessed how influential the design would prove to be. Light, narrow and from certain angles looked just like a twin-port single, it was just what the conservatively minded motorcycling public wanted, and the Speed Twin would prove enormously successful. Performance was exemplary for a road-going 500, around 85mph being attainable by the Speed Twin while the Tiger 100 sports version was even faster. The latter's performance was boosted by the use of high-compression forged pistons and polished ports and internals, the result being a machine that could touch 100mph in road trim and exceed it with the silencer end-caps removed. When production resumed in 1946, the T100 reappeared with telescopic forks in place of the original girders, and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war version's magdyno. This sprung hub-equipped Tiger 100 was purchased by the vendor in April 2018. Apparently original, the Triumph is offered in 'oily rag' condition, ripe for sympathetic re-commissioning or possibly more extensive renovation. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with the 2018 sales invoice; some expired MoTs; and a V5C document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Believed an older restoration, this Tiger 100 has belonged to the vendor since May 2018. Offered in need of re-commissioning, or possibly more extensive renovation, the machine is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns). Offered with DVLA correspondence and a V5C Registration Certificate.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1952 Triumph 499cc TrophyRegistration no. XMK 633Frame no. 29909Engine no. TR5 29909From the time of its introduction in 1948, the Triumph Trophy was established as a true all-rounder: a machine that could be ridden to work during the week and then, with extraneous components removed, competed on at weekends in its owner's chosen branch of motorcycle sport. This matching-numbers (registration, frame, and engine) Trophy has been equipped from new with the factory-optional sprung hub and dual seat. The machine was restored ten years ago, including a full engine rebuild (new bearings, pistons, crankshaft shell-bearing conversion, etc). There are bills on file for works carried out and parts purchased, and the machine also comes with an old-style logbook, a V5C document, and documentation from the previous owner in the 1950s. Ticking all the boxes - fully matching numbers, original specification, restored condition, etc - the Trophy was last run in 2018 and is described by the private vendor as in very good condition throughout.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1965 Triumph 649cc TR6 SS Trophy Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. DPR 333CFrame no. TR6 SS DU 23675Engine no. TR6 SS DU 23675Success in the International Six Days' Trial (ISDT) in the late 1940s prompted Triumph to adopt the 'Trophy' name for their off-road-styled twins: at first for the 500cc TR5 and then for the 650cc TR6. For 1962, the final year of the traditional 'pre-unit' Triumph twins, the Trophy was designated 'TR6 SS', and that designation was carried over to the new Trophy when Triumph's 650cc models were upgraded to unitary construction for 1963. Registered to the vendor since 1991 and last used in 1995, this TR6 SS has been converted by him for use in off-road competitions, complete with vestigial sidecar (note the Norton Roadholder fork and 'pie crust' front hub/brake). Dry stored for the last 25 years, the machine will need re-commissioning before returning to the dirt. Accompanying paperwork consists of an old-style V5 document and an expired MoT (1994).Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1969 Triumph 650cc TR6P Police MotorcycleRegistration no. WUL 226GFrame no. DC 17865 TR6PEngine no. TR6P DC 17865ISDT success in the late 1940s prompted Triumph to adopt the Trophy name for their off-road styled twins. But although it retained its sporting character, the model became more of a roadster as time passed, ending up, in effect, as a single-carburettor Bonneville. More tractable than the Bonnie and more economical too, the Trophy gave little away in terms of outright performance, the bike's standing quarter-mile time and top speed being within a whisker of its twin-carburettor sibling's. Triumph enjoyed a long history of providing machines to police forces around the world, and the example offered here is based on the TR6 roadster, albeit fitted with twin carburettors. 'WUL 226G' has belonged to the vendor since 1981 and was last used in 1995. Re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration will be required before it returns to the road. The machine is offered with expired MoTs and an old-style V5 document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1971 Triumph 649cc T120 BonnevilleRegistration no. YWX 971LFrame no. HE30178Engine no. T120 HE30178Along with BSA-Triumph's other 650cc twins, the Bonneville was re-launched for 1971 with the new oil-carrying frame. Despite its fine handling qualities, the chassis ran into criticism because of its tall seat and was revised three times before a lower version was standardised for 1972 together with a thinner saddle. The new models' botched introduction meant that within two years the entire BSA-Triumph Group was in severe financial difficulty, and the proposed closure of Triumph's Meriden factory led to the workers occupying the plant in September 1973. By this time the arrival of the 750cc T140 Bonneville had signalled that the 650's days were numbered, and the workers' occupation effectively sealed its fate. One of the last of the 650cc Bonnevilles, this matching-numbers example was restored in 2018 by RJM Classic Motorcycles and comes with invoices and correspondence relating to its restoration (perusal highly recommended). Additional documentation consists of a dating certificate and a V5C document. Last run in October 2020, this pristine machine is described by the private vendor as in 'as new' restored condition throughout. Although fitted with silencers in the earlier style, the machine also comes with the original pair of megaphone silencers also in 'as new' condition.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the Collection of the Late Peter McManus 1962 Triumph 200cc Tiger CubRegistration no. unregistered (see text)Frame no. T20 87456 (see text)Engine no. T20 87456With the introduction of the 149cc Terrier in 1952, Triumph re-entered the market for lightweight commuter machines. 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. It should be noted that this Cub's frame number is not a Triumph factory stamping. Therefore the motorcycle cannot be offered with its V5C document and should be regarded as unregistered. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its registration status, condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. Last taxed in 2013, this Tiger Cub is sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the Collection of the Late Peter McManus c.1933 Triumph 148cc Model XORegistration no. AAL 339AFrame no. 923 XOEngine no. HSS 1515-XO (see text)The favourable duty rates for machines under 150cc in capacity encouraged many manufacturers to develop machines for this class. Triumph's first had been the two-stroke Model X, which was followed for 1933 by the four-stroke XO. The latter featured an inclined overhead-valve engine and three-speed gearbox, housed in a conventional duplex-loop frame. Lightweight, economical and with a top speed of 47mph, it should have been just what commuters wanted but lasted for only a couple of years, latterly as the XO5/1 (standard) and XO5/5 (four-speed). Believed an older restoration, this incomplete Model XO is offered for further renovation and sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying paperwork consists of a V5C document and an HPI printout listing the engine number as 'EWA735XO'.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the Collection of the Late Peter McManus c.1938 Triumph 249cc Tiger 70 Grass-TrackerRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. unable to locateEngine no. 8T70 13159Just as he had done at Ariel in the 1920s, Val Page transformed his employer's ageing range on his arrival as Triumph's Chief Designer in 1932. The new line-up comprised overhead-valve and sidevalve singles in capacities ranging from 250cc to 500cc, plus the range-topping 650cc 6/1 sidecar tug. Edward Turner's arrival at Triumph in 1936 resulted in extensive improvements to the range. A brilliant stylist, Turner transformed Page's overhead-valve singles by adopting sports-specification engines, high level exhausts, chromed fuel tanks and a new name: 'Tiger'. This Tiger 70 has been extensively modified for grass-track competition, including the installation of a Triumph sprung hub. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. There are no documents with this Lot, which is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the Collection of the Late Peter McManus c.1958 Triumph 349cc 3TA SpecialRegistration no. 271 YUBFrame no. 21H1830Engine no. 3TA H29732The introduction of the Twenty One in 1957 ushered in Triumph's unitary construction era. Readily distinguishable by its 'bathtub' rear enclosure and Shell Blue metallic finish, the newcomer was renamed 3TA in September 1958. 'One of the swiftest standard British-made 350cc roadsters tested by Motor Cycling, the Triumph Twenty One combines an untiring zest for high-speed cruising with safe handling and a remarkably economical fuel consumption,' reported the 'Green 'Un'. Consisting of a 1958 frame and 1960 engine, this 3TA has been modified to accept a modern disc-braked front end, while other changes from stock include alloy wheel rims and alloy engine plates. Last taxed in 2013, the Triumph will require re-commissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed. The machine is offered with a V5C document and HPI printout.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the Collection of the Late Peter McManus c.1937 Triumph 343cc '3HW' Racing Motorcycle (see text)Frame no. F1630Engine no. 3HW 56234The highly modified machine offered here, although said to date from circa 1937, has been fitted with the engine from a wartime 3HW military model. When war broke out in 1939, Triumph's entire stock of completed machines was purchased by the War Office, although subsequently the 350cc sidevalve 3SW emerged as the military's favoured mount. The Coventry firm went on to develop a 350cc twin – the 3TW – specifically for military use, only for the destruction of its factory in an air raid in 1940 to scupper the project. Installed in a new factory at Meriden, Warwickshire, Triumph recommenced production of the single-cylinder 3SW and 3HW (overhead-valve) models, the latter being based on the pre-war Tiger 80. This machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. There are no documents with this Lot, which is sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

TL 15616Engine no. 3S 35300 C6128 (see text)When war broke out in September 1939, Triumph's entire stock of completed civilian machines was requisitioned by the War Office. The Coventry firm went on to develop a 350cc twin-cylinder model – the 3TW – specifically for military use, only for the destruction of its factory in an air raid in November 1940 to scupper the project. Installed in new premises at Meriden, Warwickshire, Triumph recommenced production of the single-cylinder sidevalve 3SW and overhead-valve 3HW models. The latter was based on the pre-war Tiger 80 sports roadster, the engine of which was modified to incorporate rocker boxes cast integrally with the cast-iron cylinder head, aluminium alloy being in short supply. Triumph's single-cylinder models were used mainly by the Royal Navy for despatch duties and general liaison, with the less-powerful 3SW reserved for the WRNS. First registered for civilian use on 9th July 1946, this 3HW was last taxed to the end of July 2012. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. Accompanying paperwork consists of a V5C Registration Certificate and an HPI printout recording the engine number as 'C69840'.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
