Lot 58
2 previous recorded keepers and single owner for over 60 years
1923 Raleigh 2¾hp
Registration no. BC 7367
Frame no. 7519
Engine no. 6940
Britain's best-known bicycle maker, Raleigh also manufactured motorcycles from 1899 to 1905, and from 1919 to 1933. More recently, the Nottingham company offered a range of mopeds plus a scooter in the late 1950s/ 1960s. During the 1920s Raleigh's line-up expanded to include machines of various capacities, both sidevalve and overhead-valve engined, ranging from a 175cc unit-construction lightweight to a hefty 998cc v-twin. One of the mainstays was the 350cc, 2¾hp model, a compact sidevalve-engined lightweight that, while not devastatingly fast 'flat out', accelerated briskly and handled well by the standards of its day.
This Vintage-era Raleigh is presented in attractive age-related condition and has been subject to an older restoration. Not run for many years, it will now require some sympathetic recommissioning before returning to the road, hence is sold strictly as seen. Offered with RF60 old style log book recording two previous recorded keepers since 1925, old style V5c, a 1953 dated tax disc, original Raleigh sales and parts lists, a believed original toolkit, spare handlebar grips; and Amac, John Bull, Sturmey Archer and other period paperwork.
£3, 000 - 4, 000
All lots are sold ‘as is/ where is’ and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
