BSA A7 Shooting Star for sale

1957; this extremely smart machine has just come into stock, very sadly from a deceased estate, the last owner being a long term regular customer of ours. He purchased it in 2017 as a restored machine but immediately spent another £4,000 on it (which is well documented with receipts and photos)  to get it to the sort of standard the he was happy with. Due to poor subsequent health, it has seen very little use since. It starts very easily in part due to the modern BTH Magneto fitted. It runs and rides beautifully. No longer Concours but still presenting extremely well as can be seen. Super value today for its condition.        SOLD

Rudge Classics Motorcycles For Sale

Rudge 250 Rapid for sale,

1938; the last owner who purchased it in 1978 is very much a Rudge man and also owned the Rudge Special listed below; recently largely restored by him during COVID but not really used since and will require finishing; there is a large box of spares to go with it which we assume contains most, if not all of the parts required to finish it although no speedometer; new stainless rims & spokes; we are selling the machine on behalf of the owner who assures us that it does run well and it also rides; we have made no effort to start the bike as it will require a thorough check over first; it does have excellent compression and a good healthy spark so don't doubt it; the clutch appears to work and the gears all select; sold as a stalled, unfinished project because we just don't have the time to finish it off; currently no V5c as it has been mislaid but it there is an up to date entry on the DVLA system so it will just be a case of applying for a duplicate which we can help with or do for the buyer.               £4,600           

  Watch video of the Rudge Special running here

Rudge 500 Special for sale;

1935; original registration; Buff Card Log Book; last owner for 49 years!; we are advised by the last owner that this machine has been used extensively having completed no less than seven 'End to End' runs as well as numerous Continental Tours; he informs us that he has maintained it very well resulting in the fact that it has been exceptionally reliable throughout his ownership; it is showing its age with style cosmetically (not exactly oily rag but certainly not show quality either) but appears to be extremely sound mechanically with nice quiet engine; it charges fine and everything appears to work well; it has been idle for a few years so may require some further re-commissioning work as it is pressed back into regular service; the last two photos show some of the worst rust on the rims and the paintwork on the tank; we have resisted the urge to wash it preferring to just polish the paint and chrome as it looks so lovely as it is           SOLD

 

Triumph Classic Motorcycles For Sale  

     Watch video of the Triumph Tiger 80 running here

Triumph Tiger 80 for sale;

1938; Silver & Chrome Tank; engine & frame numbers on the machine look correct and are from the correct sequence for 1938 suggesting that they are original to each other however, the V5c and Green Card Log Book dating from 1951 incorrectly show the frame Part Number as the frame number which I can see would be an easy mistake to make as this number is very visible on the frame; clearly this error occured before 1951; it is a lovely riders machine which starts easily, is very light therefore quite quick and with an extremely sweet engine; rides very well indeed; paintwork is not to show standard but it is perfectly presentable; we have resisted to urge to clean it as it is the sort of machine that looks lovely in it's 'working clothes';            £7,500

1970; non- Matching Numbers; we originally sold this machine to the last owner a few years ago having recently benefitted from an engine overhaul but very much in oily rag condition cosmetically; he then undertook a significant a cosmetic make over on it so it now presents very well indeed; starts easily; re-wired, new rims and spokes etc; runs and rides very well; not Concours but a very smart machine; previously supplied by ourselves                £8,750

  Watch video of the Triumph Tiger 100 running here  

Triumph Tiger 100 for sale;

Burnished Gold & Ivory. It has a 1965 frame with a 1968 engine fitted. It is an extremely lovely example that has literally just had over £3,200 lavished on it to make it a really nice example that you see here and it rides beautifully too but it is not and never was intended to be Concours. The work was carried out by the well respected Bill Graver of West Norfolk Motorcycles who has carried out nearly all of our restorations in the past. The work was commissioned by the last owner who sadly passed away before it was finished which is why it is with us now.        SOLD
