1947 Gillet 250 Superconfort, 250cc. Registration number not registered. Frame number not found. Engine number 250946. Alongside FN and Saroléa, Gillet was one of Belgium's three main motorcycle manufacturers, all of which were situated near the town of Herstal. FN and Saroléa had been around for 20-or-so years before Desire Gillet and his son Leon founded Société Anonyme des Ateliers Gillet in 1919, adding 'Herstal' to the company name to differentiate it from the French René Gillet concern. The fledgling firm soon established a reputation for original design and sound engineering, which was further enhanced when Robert Sexé rode a two-stroke Gillet-Herstal around the world. In 1946 they introduced the 250cc Superconfort twin along with several other new models, all with telescopic forks. The model ran to 1954. This project was bought by our vendor some 20 years ago at auction and he has now decided that he never will restore it. There is no paperwork with this lot.

1931 Sunbeam Model 6/9, 492 cc. Registration number OG 8315. Frame number B9659 not found. Engine number L5855. The Longstroke, in its various guises was in production for 17 years – the longest of any Sunbeam motorcycle. The iconic 77 x 105.5 side-valve engine was first seen at the French Grand Prix of 1921. The production version then appeared in the 1922 catalogue as the 3 ½ HP TT Sporting Model, only formally assuming its famous “Longstroke” title in 1923 Major changes were seen across the entire Sunbeam range for 1929. At last, a saddle tank appeared – Marston’s being the last of the major manufacturers to go to this design. This necessitated a new frame and a separate oil tank. In June 1930 a new 492cc sidevalve machine was introduced, christened The Lion in recognition of ICI’s ownership of John Marston Ltd, the lion being the ICI symbol. This was the Longstroke Model 6 by another name. New front forks of Webb pattern graced the 1931 Longstroke, now listed just as the Lion. The 1931 range also sported a very smart chrome-plated petrol tank with black and gold panels. This lasted just for the one year. OG was first registered on the 27th February 1931 and by 1964 was with George Warren of Stanmore in Middlesex, in 1974 he sold it to our vendors father. At this time the documents show it had an engine number LL5583. This is a model 9 number, so one presumes that the upgrade must have been done before he bought the machine. The number is so close to the current one that it may well have been a transcription error when the data was transferred to the DVLA system. In long term ownership, it has been improved over the years, most notably with an engine upgrade to Model 9 spec, numbered L5855. Sold with the V5C, V5 and R.F.60.

Tyke, a generous compliance Category D 24 x 5 metre liveaboard cruising/static houseboat, built by French and Peel, Staniland Marine, Thorne, 2004. Registered as moveable under power at sea. UK registration GB-SMBFPB 751302. BSS certificate BSSER-320488/16 expired 17th December 2020. PLEASE NOTE; this vessels attracts a buyers premium of 15% inc VAT plus the relevant internet platform fees. If in doubt please contact the auctioneers. Commissioned by our vendor and her husband in 2002 with the intention of travelling through the canals and rivers of Europe before heading to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Unfortunately, a change of circumstances meant she was never fully fitted out and she has lain unused for several years, the boat safety certificate ran out in December 2020; our vendors husband has passed away and she now wishes to emigrate to be near her family in New Zealand. Designed as a Home from Home, she was initially intended to be 27 metres before a change in Continental regulations meant 3 metres were removed. Handed over in 2004 the hull, with several steel bulkheads has a V bottom with twin bilge keels for drying out. All windows and doors are UPVC double glazed. Propulsion She is fitted with a Daewoo MD136T marine 250hp diesel engine (believed some 30 hours of use and run in 2020), shaft drive, the steel fuel tank is rated at 2000 litres, a S.A. Mart/Dong-1 hydraulic steering system was installed along with a Vetus bow thruster. The steering is operated from a steering platform that raises above the deck along with manual cut outs in the stern. Electrical system The electrics are Victron Phoenix charger and inverter with multiple power points through the vessel and fuse board in the utility room, there is also a E-QD marine generator. Heating and sanitation Heating is by a domestic Warmflow diesel boiler piped to radiators with separate hot water tank. The hot water uses a CMI water pump to the two showers, two vanity units, kitchen and the 3 person Cayman hot tub. Two Sanicompact dual flush toilets empty into two black tanks with emptying either side (one not connected), there are four fresh water interconnected tanks, believed 800 litres each, total 3200 litres, there are two grey water tanks. All of these systems need recommissioning due to lack of use. Layout The layout of the boat, which could be altered, comprises master bedroom in the bow with fully fitted wardrobes and vanity unit, there is a door and window to the bow deck with electric roller shutter, next comes the entrance hall, doors either side with adjustable steering platform above, a passageway leads to the utility room, with boiler, hot water tank, manual bilge pump, electric fuse board, shower and multiple cupboards. Next is the first heads. A door leads to the living/dining room with separate kitchen (too large to be a galley!). This leads through to the second bedroom/spa bathroom with separate shower and second heads. The stern section has a workshop to one side and a third bedroom to the other with door and electric roller shutter to the rear deck. Offered for sale as a project with no warranty implied or given, Spicers recommend that potential purchasers satisfy themselves as the completeness and useability of all components fitted. There are copious receipts for all works and fittings (VAT was reclaimed at the time of construction), instruction manuals for most, if not all fittings. It should be noted that the bulkhead beneath the steering platform was the only one with any water in the bilge, the others were all bone dry. It is believed the underside was painted c.2014 and the exterior c.2019. There is no mooring available with her and Spicers can only offer a very short period of mooring before she will be need to be moved. Tyke offers the competent ship fitter an ideal way to make their own mark on this impressive vessel that would be ideal to travel the waterways of Europe or be semi permanently moored in a marina, canal or river.
