  Scrolling through Iconic  Auctions Kempton Park auction, this Montgomery Greyhound  caught my eye.  Not a well known brand outside of British bike enthusiasts circles, Montgomery Motorcycles was founded by Bill Montgomery in Bury St Edmunds in the early 1900s, initially producing sidecars but moving on to motorcycles in 1913. This mostly original and very rare, Sammy Miller-restored 1935 Montgomery Greyhound with a 498cc JAP ohv engine, also features Druid girder forks and a 4-speed Albion gearbox, and was magazine-featured by Classic Motor Cycle.  Estimated value is between £8000 and £10000, I expect it'll fetch beyond the upper value.

Listed on BAT; This 1972 Ferrari Dino  was refurbished and modified by Moto Technique in Surrey, England, between 2017 and 2018 for US entrepreneur and Ferrari collector David Lee. During the build, chassis 04886 was fitted with a Tipo F105C V8 that was overhauled with a displacement increase to 3.6 liters and the installation of modified cylinder heads, fuel injection with individual throttle bodies, and custom MoTeC engine management. Additional modifications include a Ferrari 328 dog-leg five-speed manual transaxle, Brembo ventilated disc brakes, custom-cast 17” Campagnolo-style wheels, electric power steering, flared fenders, Perspex headlight covers without visible fasteners, SNAP exhaust outlets, an aluminum radiator with dual electric cooling fans, red and black leather interior upholstery over Daytona-style seats, air conditioning, a sound system with iPod connectivity, and a fire suppression system. This V8-powered Dino Evo 3.6 is now offered on dealer consignment in Newbu...

Classic Driver  featured this sublime Michelotto built Ferrari 365 Competizione Group 4 back in 2018, after being photographed by  Tim Scott of Fluid Images for the then vendors Bell Classics. Alex Easthope - A soft and sultry front-engined Grand Tourer more suited to a leisurely cruise on the Pacific Coast Highway than a maximum-attack blast down the Mulsanne Straight, the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 — or, as it’s universally referred to, the Daytona — was an unlikely race car. But its strong chassis, bulletproof V12, and streamlined body meant the Competizione was reliable. And for smaller privateer outfits contesting endurance events week in and week out, reliability was king. “The Daytona was built in such large numbers that it meant the research and development and lessons learned during production went straight into the racing cars,” explains Masoud Abdelhafid of Classic Driver dealer Bell Classics, which is offering this very special Competizione for sale. “They were great...

Cycle News  back in 2016 published an article and studio photos of Honda's RC149 5 cylinder 125cc Grand Prix bikes, and what a jewel it is. Often overshadowed by their 6 cylinder bikes of the same period, the RC149 was last attempt at beating the 2 stroke 125 Grand Prix bikes. 24 year old Shoichiro Irimajiri was given the engineering task, and, in 1966, riden by Swiss star Luigi Taveri, Honda won the 125cc World Championship. Back to  Cycle News ; Remember when debates raged about which fundamental design would prove superior for Grand Prix racing, four-stroke engines or two-strokes? We’re not talking 2002, when rule changes gave manufacturers the option of running two-stroke engines of 500cc or less or four-strokes up to 990cc in their GP machines. That deck was loaded in favor of the four-strokes, and morphed into the MotoGP era we have today. Rather, we’re talking about the middle 1960s, when that key question turned into a technological battle between two-stroke ...
