1930 AJS Model S2, 996 cc. Registration number DS 9578 (non-transferrable, originally PO 3338). Frame number S 69318. Engine number S2 69318. Four of the five Stevens brothers (sons of a blacksmith) produced their first motorcycle in 1897 using a proprietary engine, by 1910, to protect the existing name of their engines, it was thought necessary to introduce a new name for their motorcycles. After much deliberation, they chose to use initials only, and as only one brother, Jack, had two Christian names (Albert John), the new marque was christened A.J.S. Up until the take-over by Colliers in 1931 they produced a wide range of machines, some of which gained distinction in the TT. By 1930 the company held 117 world records but was in financial trouble. After 1931 the only true AJS's were the racing 7R's, Porcupines and the AJS Four. Optimistically as ever, the company added 5 new models to the existing range for the 1931 catalogue, the ‘S’ series were extremely good value for money, and were offered at very attractive prices. The range consisted of 9 basic models, ranging from a 248 cc OHV single to a 996 cc V-twin machine intended for sidecar use or fast and comfortable touring. The company made good motorcycles but in 1930 it had shown a big loss for the fourth year in a row and in the autumn of 1931 the company went into voluntary liquidation. Matchless Motorcycles Limited of Plumstead, London, purchased the A.J.S. name, manufacturing rights, and good will for £20,000, consequently the 1931 AJS models were the last Wolverhampton AJS machines. The S2 had a bore and stroke of 84×90 mm, a 3 speed gearbox with foot-operated clutch and detachable aluminium cylinder heads. The weight was 375 lb. DS started life out with a registration number of PO 3338 (not found at DVLA’s record office so it may be possible to apply for it) and in 1947 was with Robert Fox of Chichester with a sidecar attached. It was taxed every year up until 1959 and then sold to Stuart Tallack of Felpham in Sussex in 1977. In August 1983 it was bought by David Crouch of Hailsham, presumably as a project as when he registered it with DVLA it was assigned a new number of DS 9578. Our vendors father, renowned serial vintage restorer Spike Holman, purchased it as a dismantled project in 2005 and began the resurrection of this rare machine. It is believed this machine had been dismantled at one point and the engine used as a boat winch at Peacehaven in Sussex, presumably prior to the 1983 DVLA registration. The engine is stated to have had new sleeves and pistons, new big ends and a rebuilt magneto, it has been running but not for some period of time so recommissioning will be required. Sold with the V5C, two R.F 60A as PO 3338, various manuals and literature.

1963 Lambretta Li150, 175cc (see text). Registration number YKE 538A. Frame number 150Li 3 633850. Engine number 150Li 633587. Although best remembered these days as a 1960s style icon favoured by the fashion conscious ‘Mods’, the Lambretta motor scooter - together with Piaggio’s rival Vespa - had been intended as basic transport for the non-enthusiast masses. Manufactured by the Italian industrial giant Innocenti, the Lambretta gained instant acceptance in the immediate post-war years, its cleanliness and convenience in particular appealing to those who regarded the true motorcycle with suspicion. By the late 1950s, the scooter had begun to evolve into a larger and faster machine capable of two-up touring. Piaggio led the way with its 150 GS, to which Innocenti responded with the Lambretta TV 175. The latter was all new and incorporated innovations (for Lambretta) of enclosed chain drive and a four-speed gearbox. While the styling was an undisputed success, the engine proved troublesome and the first TV was a failure. Following the unreliable TV 175 Series 1, Lambretta went back to the drawing board to create one of its all-time greats: the ‘Li’. Built as a 125 or 150, the classic Li used the bore/stroke dimensions of the preceding ‘D’ Series but housed its entirely new engine in modern bodywork similar to that of the TV. The Li twins subsequently underwent a series of styling alterations, the Series 3 offered here being readily distinguishable by the handlebar-mounted headlight and ‘slimline’ styling that is for many enthusiasts the definitive Lambretta look. Little is known of YKE's early history, although it is believed to have been in a 40 year ownership before passing to a son. In 2000 it was shown at a local show in Norfolk and was re registered with DVLA in 2005 with an MOT at 16,591 km, gentle use over the years saw this rise iring the restoration the barrel was changed to a 175cc example with a Jetex 22 mm carb, front damper kit and a stainless steel exhaust, The wiring upgraded to 12 volts, along with a large selection of lights and mirrors. Our vendor purchased it as a display piece so it will need recommissioning before use on the road. Sold with V5C, some spares, and various paperwork.
