949 1934 250cc Frances Barnett “Cruiser”
Reg. No. CAS 416
Frame No. DB29817
Engine No. D3097
This is the Deluxe 4 speed model with its
fully enclosed styling. An eye catching
machine that was the subject of an engine
rebuild in 1991 by Alpha Engineering.
Stated to have covered minimal mileage
since, the last MOT expired in 2002, the
“Fanny B” is currently on a SORN, supplied
with a VMCC dating certificate, V5C, old
MOT’s and various receipts. With coil ignition
and Villiers “Autolube” system this is a
very practical and useable machine that
stands out in a crowd.

950 1952 500cc Triumph TRW
Reg. No. ESL 812
Frame No. TRW22909NA
Engine No. 22909
This TRW was originally despatched to the
Ministry Of Supply for the Royal Navy on
31st October 1952 for use as a despatch
riders machine. A dating certificate from the
Science Museum Library confirms this along
with the fact that both engine and frame
numbers are correct. Still retaining the correct
canvas panniers and frame, the TRW
has now acquired a very fine civilian navy
blue paint job. Purchased at the dispersal
sale of Cake Street Classics and the personal
collection of Roger Sharman in 1999 , the
TRW has been maintained very nicely
indeed but ridden rather sparingly. A quantity
of old MOT certificates confirm the current
mileage indicated of just 33,000.
Recently sold by Cheffins, the purchaser has
since refocused his collection and the TRW
is consequently in need of a new custodian.
The side valve twin is a machine that can
hold its own in modern traffic conditions
and benefits from the addition of electronic
ignition, an ideal summer toy as well as
being a piece of our military history, the
TRW comes supplied with a recent MOT
and V5 documentation together with the
previously mentioned dating certificate.

951 1980 750cc Triumph T140D
Reg No WJX 202V
Frame No. BA18943
Engine No. BA18943
The oil in the frame Triumph Twins were
the last of the Meriden motorcycles to roll
off the production line. They first appeared
in 1971 as 650cc models, enlarging to
750cc in 1973. During the seventies there
were many improvements made, and by the
end of the decade, Triumph were producing
a rather pleasing product. Although they
lacked the performance, reliability, and
smoothness of the Japanese competition,
they nevertheless captured the imagination
of a large following of potential motorcycle
buyers. The T140D was a special edition
with magnesium wheels. This model checks
out as very original, save the enamelling of
the frame. In extremely good order
throughout and just 8,045 recorded miles,
the black and gold finish is as per original
factory specification for a T140D. The pear
shape USA styled fuel tank was always a
favourite over the UK spec tank, and even
today this motorcycle has a stunning up to
date “classic” look.

952 1957 250cc BSA C11G
Reg. No. PSY 354
Frame No. EC1210848
Engine No. BC11G25798
Apparently an ex museum machine that
was not registered until 1996, it would
appear that 2005 was the last time the BSA
saw legal road action according to the tax
disc in situ.

953 1968 175cc BSA Bantam D7 Sports
Reg. No. ELG 646F
Frame No. D14B6110
Engine No. ED17212
The vendor states that he believes this to be
an American export model and it is in running
order having been used until the MOT
and tax expired in 2006. Offered for sale
with V5 documentation
