Norton
Norton Classic Rotary; number 58 of around a hundred made; 2 owners from new; original toolkit, handbook, Certificate, Classic 'Log Book' etc; all MOT's to confirm a genuine 10,000 miles from new; it has been in regular use for the last 8 years but had virtually no use until then; I have covered around 50 miles on this machine and can confirm that it is absolutely superb in every way feeling almost new to ride, the only fault that I could find is that the rev counter doesn't always work properly and that the silver paint on the tank is a very slightly different shade to the rest of the paintwork, I am assured that it is all original though?? It starts instantly even from cold and ticks over immediately; a rare and very lovely example £T.B.A.

Norton 30 International; 1934; Race Replica but road registered and currently Taxed and MOT'd; there is a removable baffle inside the Mega; I'm no expert but it looks to me to have a Manx top end and conical front hub; starts very easily, runs and rides extremely well and is very quick SOLD

Rudge Ulster; 1938; Bronze Head; Buff Card Log Book; original registration; appears to be very original; lots of bills & history; runs and rides really well; correct offset spoked wheels; a used and therefore not mint example; arguably could do with the petrol tank re-painting as it is chipped and touched in here and there but it is supposed to be original which is why it was left??? SOLD
riumph
Triumph Hurricane; 1973; Matching Numbers; I know very little about these machines but it looks to be completely original and un-restored and therefore not a 'Mint' Show Winner but very presentable and remarkably good both cosmetically and mechanically; now that the carburetors have been cleaned out it starts easily, ticks over and runs very well with a mechanically quiet engine that doesn't appear to smoke or leak; the engine feels strong and goes well; nice honest example £13,500
Triumph TR6P Trophy; 1969; matching numbers; really lovely example that runs and rides extremely well; slight leak from front pushrod tube which we could repair if required; previously supplied by ourselves; photos taken 18 months ago but condition us pretty much unchanged other than that it now has an Air Filter fitted £5,495

Triumph TR7RV; 1978; Blue; Matching Numbers; 3 owners from new; showing 2,200 miles which is genuine as far as can be acertained, it certainly looks and feels like it but the photos do flatter it slightly in that there is some light pitting here and there, the worst of which is on the headlight and gearlever both which we intend to change; fair bit of history including Bill of Sale from 1979 and a recent £500 invoice for re-commissioning etc; runs and rides extremely well as you would expect; £3,995
Triumph T120 Bonneville; Blue & Silver; 1965; UK Machine; V5c shows Matching Numbers but I can't find a number on the frame; long term previous owner; fair bit of history; not been used for since 1991 but starts easily, ticks over like a clock, runs and rides well; will need proper re-commissioning or restoring; not totally correct SOLD

Velocette Thruxton; 1965; Numbers confirmed correct by Ray Thurston (Thruxton Registrar); the history of this machine is quite well documented in that it was bought by Peter Kermode in 1972 and given to Ralph Seymour to prepare it for him to Race which he did quite successfully throughout the seventies; it was the cover bike and featured in 'The Classic Motorcycle' in July 1996 (copy included) where the history is detailed; the bike has not changed a bit since; the engine was rebuilt by Nick Payton in the early 1990's; it runs and rides extremely well and is very quick; not totally standard as it still has some of Ralph Seymour's touches such as the front mudguard stay and pushrod tube etc; really nice example with an interesting history; previously supplied by ourselves and pictures a year or so old but condition unchanged SOLD
