1970/2009 Triton 750cc. Registration number LFE 470H. Frame number P148134. Engine number T140V DX06879. A happy marriage of Triumph power and Norton roadholding, courtesy of the latter's peerless Featherbed frame, the Triton is rightly regarded by enthusiasts as the quintessential British sports special. This hybrid first emerged in the 1950s and continues to be built by professionals and amateurs alike, enjoying marque status today. One of the first specials-builders to put the Triton into what might be termed 'limited production' was Dave Degens, proprietor of Dresda Autos. Riding one of his own Dresda Tritons, Degens won the prestigious Barcelona 24-Hour Endurance Race in 1965, defeating many works-entered bikes in the process, and went on to develop his own Featherbed-derived frame to take power units other than the original Triumph. The T140 750 cc was the second generation in the Bonneville series developed from the earlier 650 cc T120 Bonneville and was produced by Triumph in a number of versions, including limited editions, from 1973 until 1983 when the company was declared bankrupt. Licensed production of the T140 Bonneville was continued by Les Harris between 1985 and 1988 at Newton Abbot in Devon, these machines became known as 'Harris' or 'Devon' Bonnevilles. LFE sports a Triumph Bonneville T140 engine from 1978, mated to a Norton Model 99 Wideline Featherbed frame from 1959. The DVLA V5 has a declared manufactured date of 1970, on file is a report on the 1985 MCN Classic show where the then owner, Dave Waring, won Best Triton from a field of 26 machines. In 1992 it was acquired by Michael Steer of Rotherham, he is believed to have raced it at this time. The 2000 MOT states a mileage of 20,353, which remained the same over the following two years. In 2002 he sold it to our vendor who upgraded to what you see today. In 2009 a full engine rebuild by Nova Classics took place and a phosphor swinging arm, belt drive, electronic ignition, hand made tanks and Laverda running gear was used. Basically unused since the build, it is sold with the V5C, V5, old MOT's, photographs, MCM report and receipts for the engine build.

1937 Morris ten-Four, 1292cc. Registration number BNP 656 (see text). Chassis number unknown. Engine number unknown. Morris Ten was a new class of car for Morris now equipped with wire wheels and a new type of mud guarding—domed wings with wing side shields—it was powered by a Morris 1292 cc four-cylinder side-valve engine employing a single SU carburettor which produced 24 bhp at 3,200 rpm. The gearbox was a four-speed manual transmission unit, and Lockheed hydraulic brakes were fitted. At the October 1932 Olympia Motor Show the coach-built saloon with sliding head was £169.10.0. Body styles at launch in August 1932 were restricted to a saloon and two-door coupé, but a four-door tourer joined the range in December, followed in 1934 by a two-seater with dickey seat and a Traveller's Saloon. Twelve months later, with the introduction of the Ten Six, Four was added to the Ten's name. The chassis was strengthened, engine mountings were revised and synchromesh appeared on the gearbox. Engine output was increased to 27½ bhp by April 1934. Two tone paint schemes were optional from 1935. BNP is recorded with DVLA but the paperwork has been lost in this deceased sale. Obviously an older restoration, it was stored on blocks in a garage and should respond well to recommissioning. There are no keys.
