This bike was manufactured
in Italy, it has a moto
morini 50cc engine and
the fame and the rest
of the bike is made
by Peripoli. The bike
is very rare and completely
origional. Morini sold
their engines to lots
of bike manufactures
like villers did here
in Britain, this saved
small bike manufactures
developing their own.

1974 Planeta Sport

We believe this
is one of the oldest
continuously manufactured
motorcycle in Russia
and dates from 1927.
For some time during
the post WW 2 era,
Russia was the world's
largest manufacturer
of motorcycles. However
due to the extent
of the cold war and
the isolation of the
USSR, few Russian
machines are to be
found in the western
world |

1929 Praga DOHC,
500cc |
 |
The B.D. (Breitfeld
& Daneck) 500 DOHC
design was introduced
in 1927. It was a
very novel design
for the twenties,
but it became a great
succes, both because
of its neat lines
and its automatic
lubrication system.
At that time the rival
firms were still struggling
to get a single OHC
engine oiltight and
reliable! But remember
that Czech technology
in the first part
of the 20th century
was very up to date,
as is witnessed by
this special and rare
1929 Praga. The machine
is fully restored
to concours condition. |

Rene Gillet
Founded in
1898, the Franch firm of
Rene Gillet built their
reputation on large capacity
singles, many of which were
used by the French armed
forces, characterised by
extreme strength and stamina,
but which had no sporting
pretentions. Post-war production
concentrated on lightweight
2-strokes.

under licence in the
1930s and 1940s but
was one of the many

1958 Scootacar,
197cc |
 |
The Scootacar
was first
manufactured
in 1958
by the Hunslett
Engineering
Company
of Leeds
(UK). The
vehicle
was created
by Henry
Brown who
had designed
the Scootacar
around the
body of
an occupant
sitting
astride
the engine.
The body
was made
from fibreglass
and attached
to a steel
chassis
that included
a steel
floorpan.
The vehicle
was advertised
as having
a "Car-sized
door" and
so access
in and out
of the Scootacar
involved
no crouching
as was needed
in other
3-wheelers
of the period.
There were
three versions;
the Mk 1,
which was
powered
by a Villiers
197cc air-cooled
engine.
In this
version
the driver
sat astride
the engine
as on a
motorcycle.
In the Mk2
a new body
was designed
that included
and a car
type chair
for the
rear passenger
which was
offset at
45 degrees.
The Mk 3
was powered
by a larger
twin-cylinder
324cc Villiers
engine.
Manufacture
ceased in
1965. This

Sheffield

 |
Henderson
sidecars
were made
by the
Aero works
of Fitzwilliam
Street,
Sheffield.
In November
1919 the
company
announced
the Sheffield
Henderson
Motorcycle,
designed
by Leonard
B. Henderson,
who was
an aeronautical
engineer.
In a relatively
short
time the
make gained
a fantastic
reputation
in speed
events;
in June
1922 the
factory
even claimed
several
world
records
in the
250 cc
class.
( see
scan 1922
advert).
Sheffield
Hendersons
could
be had
with a
side valve
or overhead
valve
Blackburne
engine
or a Bradshaw
engine.
The machine
had a
three
speed
Burman
gearbox.
The Motor
cycle
wrote
in 1922:
Their
curious
but not
unattractive-looking
frame
construction
is now
familiar
to most
people.
Indeed,
Sheffied
Henderson
must have
been one
of the
very few
makes
that placed
the toolbox
under
the top
tube behind
the steering
head,
a position
that obviated
a rather
unusual
tank shape,
an early
form of
saddle
tank.
However,
fame was
short-lived:
Sheffield
Henderson
motorcycle
production
ended
in 1923.
This rare
survivor,
equipped
with the
interesting
oil-cooled
OHV Bradshaw
engine
with outside
flywheel,
is an
older
restoration.

Spondon
Named
after the Derbyshire
town in which
it is based,
chassis specialist
firm Spondon
Engineering
was founded
by Bob Stevenson
and Stuart Tiller
in 1969. Several
early Spondons
used Yamaha
two-stroke racing
engines such
as the 125cc
AS1, TZ250 and
750cc OW31.
Spondon has
built frames
for roadsters
including the
Silk and Norton's
F1 and produced
numerous specials
powered by Japanese
fours, from
Suzuki's GS1000
to Kawasaki's
ZZ-R1100.

Stanley
This
was a tricycle
fitted with
a 98cc Villiers
engine in
the manner
of an autocycle
but with three
wheels. It
appeared in
1932 and was
intended to
offer stability
and a little
power assistance
to the elderly.
It was a nice
idea but was
launched at
a difficult
time and no
more was heard
of the little
machines from
Egham in Surrey.
Steppke
Steppke
engines were
built in the
Treptow Machine
Tools factory
in East Berlin.
The Steppke
was East Germany's
second most
popular auxiliary
engine, and
its style is
reminiscent
of the Mosquito
and the Lohmann.
East
German engineers
apparently studied
the Mosquito
before designing
the Steppke.
The engine has
a good reputation
for reliability
and strength,
and it's easy
to use the lever
(similar to
the Lohmann)
to locate the
engine roller
onto the tyre.

it

virtually
unknown.
