1302 1930 500cc Rudge Whitworth 500<br />

Reg No. VH 636<br />

Frame No.37663<br />

Engine No.881<br />

The engine on this example of the Rudge carries<br />

the forward mounted magneto and semi radial<br />

iron head of the later Ulster models although the<br />

engine number lacks the ‘U’ prefix. The iron head<br />

has been painted bronze, hand gear change is in<br />

place connected to the Rudge Whitworth gearbox<br />

and the fuel is supplied via the remote float bowl<br />

Amal carburettor. The twin port single carries<br />

many non-standard parts and has clearly seen<br />

much modification during its long term<br />

ownership. Requiring some ‘TLC’ to bring it up to<br />

a road-worthy standard, the Rudge is presented in<br />

honest oily rag condition together with V5<br />

documentation and related paperwork including a<br />

1957 tax disc. A fine restoration opportunity.<br />

Estimate £2,000 - £3,000<br />

1303 1929 500cc BSA M29 Sloper<br />

Reg No. VW 3806<br />

Frame No.P7141<br />

Engine No.P7095<br />

A wonderful oily rag condition example of the<br />

‘sloper’ sidecar tug that has been in lifelong<br />

ownership by Jeff Frost and indeed his father<br />

before him. A substantially original machine but<br />

carrying a few modifications that are the natural<br />

result of long term use. Absolutely ripe for a<br />

sympathetic restoration, the Norwich registered<br />

M29 is supplied with current V5 documentation,<br />

buff logbook and other related documentation.<br />

Estimate £3,000 - £4,000<br />

1304 1959 500cc Norton Dominator International<br />

Special<br />

Reg No. 346 NG<br />

Frame No.P3181512<br />

Engine No. See text<br />

A very much modified machine that is fitted with<br />

an International engine believed to have been<br />

previously used in one of Jeff’s grass track outfits.<br />

The engine numbers would indicate that the<br />

bottom end is a 1937 International to Manx GP<br />

specification (no.80218) whilst the top end<br />

(no.82904) is of 1938 date to the same<br />

specification, the engine is clearly further<br />

modified for lighting purposes amongst others.<br />

The combination of the racing engine in a<br />

featherbed frame is a potent one and the special<br />

was in regular use, the 2009 tax disc indicates<br />

that Jeff was still able to terrorise the sea front<br />

aged 78. The bikes original engine (No.99SS-<br />

7397) is present and supplied with the bike giving<br />

the successful purchaser the option of converting<br />

back to standard whilst still being in possession of<br />

a highly desirable and sought after power-plant.<br />

A great old school special with an enviable<br />

engine, the whole plot would benefit greatly from<br />

cosmetic attention and is supplied with current<br />

V5, old logbook and other related<br />

documentation.<br />

Estimate £3,000 - £5,000<br />
