BSA DBD34 Clubman; we think that this is not an original engine and frame match but it is still to be verified either way; 1959 engine rebuilt by Phil Pearson 1,200 miles ago including flywheels; electric start; belt drive; Phil P clutch; English fuel tank; TLS 190 front brake; RRT2; Alloys; GP Carb; well sorted and used example

Raleigh 400cc Side valve unfinished project (not sure of the model); 1921 we think; 85% there and quite a lot has been done including a good quality paint job on the tank, frame, forks, front mudguard etc; needs wheel rims/spokes, consumables such as chains, cables, nuts an bolts etc and handlebar levers; the rest does appear to be there and in good order
Velocette Venom; 1957; Black with Chrome Guards; tidy machine that runs well; recent Head rebuild by Cylinder Head Shop; transferable registration
Cheap to Clear
Yamaha TY175; late seventies (I think); runs and rides; engine sounds sweet; looks quite original but a bit 'Battle Scarred'; good bit of fun for not much money at £775
Triumph NSD550; 1929; looks shiny and runs; recently restored but not to a high standard so would benefit from being stripped and properly sorted if to be used; sold as a project or a very nice ornament; Gas Lights fitted; cheap at HELD
Cars
Jaguar 4.2 Series 1 Roadster; 1966; this is generally accepted to be the best model E-Type if you want the early convertible and want to use it, original UK Car with matching numbers and Heritage Certificate; original colours and specification; stacks of detailed history over the last 30 years; never fully restored just really well maintained; literally just had over £5,000 spent on sorting it mechanically; superb car to drive and looks stunning; not Concours but then its less than half of Concours car money at SOLD

Aprillia
Aprillia Moto 6.5 (by Philippe Starck); 1997; under 11,000 miles from new; a real Design Statement, these machines are rare and sure to become collectible, prices are already on the rise; this one is in nice largely original order; great fun to ride and surprisingly nimble; Customers Machine £2,495
Ariel
Ariel 500 KHA Hunt Master; 1953; Designed by Val Page, Ariel's KH 499cc twin was produced between 1948 and 1957, starting out as the Red Hunter, becoming the Hunt Master and finally the Fieldmaster, these revisions reflecting its change in role from sportster to tourer. With a top speed of around 90mph, the KH was as fast as a BSA A7 or Triumph Speed Twin and a real eye-catcher with its red-and-chrome petrol tank. A sister model - the slightly less-powerful KG De Luxe - was available in black. The KH's cycle parts had much in common with the singles' but although the frames are similar, engines are not inter-changeable. A rigid frame was standard, with Ariel's Anstey-designed rear suspension an option. The telescopic forks were shared with parent company, BSA. A new model with an all-alloy engine - the KHA - appeared in 1953 but lasted for one year only before being dropped. In April that same year Ariel announced a trio of new models fitted with a leading-link front fork developed in collaboration with E R G 'Ernie' Earles. The Earles-type fork was to be made available on the Square Four 'Royal Hunter', the KHA MkII 'Hunt Master' twin and the VHA 'Hunt Marshal' single. This new development was reported at length in The Motor Cycle and Motor Cycling, which also carried advertisements depicting the three prototypes. Interested parties were asked to contact their local dealer for information or send for a brochure. Like so many apparently promising ideas, Ariel's Earles-fork models did not reach production and of the handful of prototypes made.
The KHA Hunt Master offered here was recently marketed as being the last known survivor of the factory Protoypes but it has come to light that it is actually almost certainly an extremely well put together Replica. It appears to be be a faithful copy of the machines that were to be sold as can be seen from the period Sales Leaflet and is therefore an very rare and unusual machine. I doubt you'll find another anywhere. It runs and rides very well and certainly feels like a factory built machine; it appears to have covered around 900 miles since restoration; more photos shortly SOLD
BMW
BMW R50; not sure of the year as yet because there is no paperwork at this time; Matching Numbers; believed to be a one owner machine but cannot verify this at the moment; genuine 'Barn Find' in that this machine has been in storage unused since 1972 but is now up and running with everything working well; photos show it as found; the engine sounds very sweet; even the electrics all work with the exception of the horn; lovely oily rag machine as it is fabulously original or an excellent candidate for a full restoration; we are currently fully re-commissioning this machine so it will not be available for sale for a short while; pillion saddle will be fitted again £T.B.A.
BMW R1150 RT; 2002; Silver; 18,000 miles; this machine has been exceptionally well cared for having full Main Dealer Service History being last serviced around 250 miles ago; heated grips, ABS, electrically adjusted screen; full BMW luggage included; book pack etc; apart from some very slight marks on the edge of the mirror housing and the rear indicator, this machine looks superb; the ultimate Touring motorcycle?? I rode this machine 150 miles home on one of the coldest days of the year so far and could easily have done it all over gain, a very impressive motorcycle £3,995
BMW R60; 1959; Matching Numbers; machine unused since 1982 according to an MOT from that year but it has been very well dry stored since; many receipts for refurbishments works during the 1970's; V5c shows just one owner from new but I have not yet been able to verify if this is since new or just since the DVLA Computerised system; this machine will require very careful re-commissioning; we have made no attempt to start it but the engine turns and feels good (the machine has now been started and runs very well, we will be getting it MOT'd and fully sorted shortly); gears all select and the clutch frees; all keys present Customers Machine £8,295
BMW R26; not sure of the year because all paperwork has been lost; matching numbers; genuine 'Barn Find' in that it has been in storage for many years; had been partially dismantled with some parts missing the main ones being the front wheel and mudguard, footrests, main stand and exhaust; engine turns nicely and gears select; full restoration required; there is a possibility that some or all of the missing parts will appear but please assume that they will not SOLD
Brough Superior
Brough Superior SS80; 1936; original engine, frame & registration numbers; according to the Factory Build Card, it is very much the same specification as when it was first built; starts easily, runs and rides very well; I have covered around 350 miles on this Brough and thoroughly enjoyed it so much so that I was intending to keep it but I already have too many machines so have had a reality check which is why it is offered for sale; this is definately no Show Winner; it has clearly been restored many years ago and has got a bit scruffy again; previous long term owner but he barely used it; we have had the magneto rebuilt and got everything working including the charging but the Speedo decided to pack up completely on the New Years Day Run, not sure why as yet; it has a few small dents in the tank and the paintwork is generally poor but somehow lovely for it; this appears to be a very nice honest old Brough that is extremely useable and excellent value at SOLD
BSA
BSA DBD34 Gold Star Clubman; 1962; original engine & frame; despatched to BSA New Jersey in Sept 1962 as a Clubman; restored to an extremely high standard and virtually unused since; GP Carb (in box with machine), ARRT gearbox, English Fuel Tank, 190 Front brake; this has to be one of the best and shiniest DBD34's on the market at present, very lovely £19,500
BSA A7 Shooting Star; 1959; recently restored to a good, presentable standard; engine (proper A7SS unit) and frame not original to each other but otherwise very nice; wheels do have excellent chrome but are covered in condensation in the photos hence the dull look; runs and rides extremely well with everything working nicely SOLD
BSA A7 Shooting Star; 1958; Is this the best A7SS in the World??? Genuinely 1 owner from new! with much provenance to confirm including the original Buff Log book from 1958; it was recently (900 miles ago) subject of the most comprehensive restoration imaginable by Robin James Engineering costing in excess of £32,000 (hard to believe I know but that is correct, I've totted his Invoices up) with Invoices and exceptionally detailed reports of all of the work carried out which has been bound and resembles a Manuscript; there are photos of the pre-restored machine which show it as being a lovely original motorcycle; this is definately not going to be the cheapest A7SS on the market by quite some margin but is it the best?? It is extremely correct in every way but is currently fitted with Indicators and a period carrier but we can remove them if required without leaving any holes etc SOLD
Ducati
Ducati 900 Mike Hailwood Replica; 1985; Electric Start; UK Machine; one recorded Keeper in V5c until this year; we are assured that the mileage of around 6,000 miles is correct and it certainly looks and feels right; fitted with genuine Conti's which are obviously not original to the machine but they are so much nicer than the Lanfranconi's; stunning example; it is hard to believe that it hasn't been restored; looks and feels like a 12 month old machine £13,750
Ducati Sport Classic; 2009; under 3,000 miles; fine weather toy only; fantastic UK Made replica Conti's (originals with it); awesome machine in fabulous condition; previously supplied by ourselves; photos taken last Summer but unused since; Customers Machine SOLD
Harley Davidson
Harley Davidson 1200 FX Super Glide Boat Tail; 1971; Matching Numbers; Red, White & Blue; genuinely un-restored and as far as I can see exceptionally original; 27,000 miles; long term previous owner; this machine is Ultra Rare and a pivotal model as any HD enthusiast will know; this actual machine has been featured in many books including a double page spread in Hugo Wilson' The Ultimate Harley Davidson; previously supplied by ourselves £18,995
Harley Davidson 1450 Softail Deuce; 2000; 2 owners and genuinely under 3,000 miles from new; apart from some very slight pitting on the alloy rear wheel (could be polished out and re-lacquered) this machine is as close to 'Mint' condition as you will ever get with a 12 year old machine; naturally it is faultless mechanically; it is surprisingly nimble and very comfortable to ride; I really like it, but I don't like Harley's.............. hmmm maybe I do after all; nice quiet exhaust too; great value with this mileage and in this condition at SOLD
Harris Magnum Kawasaki
Harris Magnum 2; genuine Harris Frame manufactured in Sept 1989; Kawasaki 1,000cc engine with Wiseco 1,393cc Big Bore Top end; engine built by Mistral Engineering at a cost of over £2,000; 4 mighty 37mm Keihn Racing Carbs; Dymag Wheels (apparently); this machine has had a fortune spent and is stunning; barely used since; this truly is the 'Maddest & Baddest' motorcycle that I have ridden and I have ridden one or two hairy beasts; in my opinion it would benefit from having the frame painted black but someone told me today that they thought it was a work of art, thank goodness we're all different; a Blue Chip future Classic; Thatcham Approved Alarm and immobilizer fitted, agreed value Insurance in 2008 at £12k £9,750
Matchless
Matchless G80C 500cc Replica; 1955; original transferable (Devon) registration; great looking machine that starts very easily, runs and rides very well; looks very much like the real thing with proper steel competition tank and Comp Fork sliders (would look nice if it had the forward front stays fitted); paint finish on fuel tank is a bit Orange Peel so would benefit from a good cut and polish; machine featured in Jampot Calendar; rebuilt by a friend of mine who is a retired engineer; I have covered many miles following this nice and very reliable machine; sounds fantastic; 12v Electrics; photos of restoration in 2006 with invoices; I haven't cleaned it so it is in as used condition; great value compared to the real thing HELD

Norton
Norton P11A; 1967; Matching Numbers; fabulously original having had the red paintwork re-done, a new front mudguard and new exhaust fitted but it looks to me to be otherwise as factory; photos of it as it was re-imported showing a very original machine included; runs and rides extremely well and is great fun; previously supplied by ourselves £9,795
Norton 350 Inter-Manx Special; 1960 Dominator Frame with a pre-War International engine; Road Registered & MOT'd ready to go; in semi-Race Trim; starts very easily; runs and rides really well with a nice, mechanically quiet engine; looks the part and great value at the price; this machine was being marketed by another dealer for £14,995 until very recently and changed hands at £12,000 (with documentation to prove) so it really does represent excellent value at this price; whilst it runs and rides well, it does require some minor 'fettling' to fully sort it £8,995
Norton 850 Mk3 Commando Interstate; Silver; Matching Numbers; 2,000 miles from new! detailed history; recently had some light refurbishment/re-commissioning but most of the displaced original parts have been retained; tanks & side panels are re-painted in original colour; stainless steel wheels and spokes; very original; working electric start with a good battery and on a good day; this machine runs and rides as you would expect for such a low mileage Commando; previously supplied by ourselves; rare in this condition SOLD

Triumph Model P; 1925; Buff Log Book from 1948; looks to be original engine & frame certainly since 1948 anyway; starts very easily; runs and rides extremely well in fact it is one of the easiest flat tankers to ride that I have come across; I have covered around 20 miles on it and thoroughly enjoyed every moment; the front brake is completely useless but the rear makes up for it; this machine has been in regular use and has completed many Runs; tax disc showing on machine is out of date but the current one is in the file, various old MOT's and Tax discs; wheels look too small but with oversize tyres which makes it ride very nicely but naturally doesn't look quite right to the purist; really lovely and easy to live with Flat Tanker £6,500
Triumph TR5 Trophy; 1951; matching numbers; chrome tank; Dunlop Chrome Rims; Certificate from VMCC to confirm numbers relate to a TR5; UK Machine; transferable registration; appears to be correct apart from 'Square Barrel' Top End and a couple of other 1950 Model Year items (so I'm told); lovely example that runs and rides very well with an extremely quiet (mechanically) engine; I have ridden it for around 30 miles and couldn't fault it; not Concours as it is clearly an older restoration but very tidy example of this Iconic machine £10,750

Triumph T120R Bonneville; 1970; Matching Numbers; superb machine in every way; restored to a Concours standard some time ago and seen light use since but still as close to Concours as you can get a 'used' machine; all absolutely correct in every detail as far as I can see including Windtone Horns and 'Top Hat' Air Cleaners; runs and rides as well as it looks; truly magnificent and a credit to its last enthusiast owner £9,695

Velocette
Velocette MSS; 1936; believed to be original engine & frame; very well restored some time ago but not a mint Show Winner because it has been in regular use; still looking very smart through; starts easily, runs and rides very well; the pre-War MSS is now getting to be a rare machine and in many ways much nicer than its more exotic smaller brother the KSS £T.B.A.
