Offered at no reserve, it was conceived by Henry Cole, presenter of "The Motorbike Show" and his bike-building associate Guy Willison.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe example going under the hammer with H&H Classics is the original prototype from a limited-edition run of fifty, was extensively documented during the seventh series of the show, and has just over 400 miles on the clock.Low mileage examples on offer are epitomised by a 1972 Yamaha YDS7, showing just 79 miles from new.The motorcycle, which had been untouched for decades and is almost completely original retaining the vast majority of its factory components, including the original Yokohama tyres which still hold air, has been given a guide price of £2,500-£3,500.Meanwhile, long ownership models are symbolised by a 1925 BSA H25 with Model 7 Sidecar that has been in current family ownership since 1927 – an incredible 99 years.AdvertisementAdvertisementEstimated at £7,500-£8,500, it is also a rare motorcycle, especially in its sound, unrestored condition, together with an original sidecar attached.Not to be outdone is a 1936 Brough Superior SS80, in single family ownership since 1947 and on the open market for the first time in over seventy years. Wonderfully original and supplied with a buff logbook from 1952, it is offered at no reserve.Mike Davis, senior motorcycle specialist at H&H Classics, said: "Our July auction is on track to have an exciting mix of lots on offer, not least with motorcycles that have hardly been used, are scarce in number or have been in long time ownership."A further noteworthy entry is a 1955 Vincent Black Prince/Watsonian Combination, given a guide price of £15,000-£17,000. It featured in a 1955 'Motor Cycling' article and is supplied with a good paperwork file.AdvertisementAdvertisementAnother stand-out example going under the hammer is a 1979 Suzuki X-7, estimated at £5,500-£6,500, that has been restored to a very high standard by a former Suzuki spares specialist using as many genuine "New Old Stock" parts as possible.Vintage scooter enthusiasts are also well catered for, such as with a very original 1951 Vespa ACMA 125 V51, estimated at £7,000-£9,000. It is a very rare model in the UK, in great condition and the auction presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire an in-demand model in excellent condition that hardly ever comes up for sale.All lots will be available to view in person at the National Motorcycle Museum, Solihull, from 1pm on Tuesday 21st July and from 9am on Wednesday 22nd July, while the sale then commences at 10am.Anyone looking to bid on one of the lots can do so in person, online, by telephone or by leaving a commission bid, while for more details about any of the classic motorcycles or vintage scooters, visit www.handh.co.uk.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBecome a Motorcycle.com insider.
