Hi, Just a quick email to let you know my item arrived safely and a big ‘thank you’ for your great service.
As an International buyer (Australia) I really appreciate that you keep your P and P costs reasonable and are willing to provide a P and P estimate before bidding (wish there were more auction houses like you!!)

1977 Triumph Bonneville T140 Silver Jubilee, 744cc. Registration number VNV 594S. Frame number JP 84648J. Engine number JP 84648J. The final phase of the Triumph twin's development began in 1972 with the first appearance of the new 750cc version of the Bonneville, the increase in bore size necessitating a new crankcase to accommodate the larger barrels. Other improvements included a new ten-stud cylinder head, triplex primary chain, stronger transmission and a disc front brake. A five-speed gearbox, introduced on the preceding 650 Bonneville, was standard equipment on the 750. Despite the age of the basic design and strong competition from Japanese and European manufacturers, the Bonnie remained for many years the UK's top-selling 750. In 1977 Triumph introduced a special, limited edition Bonneville to celebrate HM Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. This was basically the standard Bonnie enhanced by a red, white and blue on silver finish, coachlined cycle parts, and a chromed timing cover and primary chaincase. One thousand were made for the UK and another thousand for the USA, while a further 400 were despatched to other markets. VNV was sold on the 21st October 1977 to Michael Bailey of Rushden and comes with the dealer certificate signed by the Chairman of Meriden, Denis Crowder Johnson. Our vendor bought it from him in 1998. There are MOT certificates dating from 1980 at 3,732 miles to 1985 at 4,910 miles, 1998 when bought by our vendor at 5,291 miles, 2001 at 6,410 miles 2006, 2009, 2011, 2013, and the last in 2015 at 7,466 miles, today it is 7,517. An electronic ignition has been added and the bike was refreshed along with Grimeca calipers and new exhaust system, all of the old parts have been kept. Sold with the V5C, MOT's mentioned, various receipts and the aforementioned original parts.

1990 Kawasaki KR1-S, 248cc. Registration number G250 AAY. Frame number KR250C 001754. Engine number KR250 BE 006662. In an attempt to crack the export market, Kawasaki tried reviving some of the old Meguro models, but failed to make a dent. It was only when they came up with the 250cc Samurai that things began to change in their favour. Followed by the 350cc Avenger and then the mercurial 500cc Mach III 'widow-maker', they had discovered the magical formula to captivate the international motorcyclist's heart, ultimate performance. After making an international reputation with their radical two strokes, Kawasaki started to develop large four strokes, resulting in the 900 Z1. Further four strokes followed, but they never forgot their roots were in two strokes, and their hooligan past was not dead, merely lying dormant until it was reawakened with the KR1 in 1988. State of the art technology was used, with liquid cooling, balance shaft, crescent-slide carburettors, electronic ignition, six-speed gearbox, and an alloy box-section frame. Power was impressive for a 250, and the following year it was boosted again with the new KR1S version to become the ultimate 250. AAY was owned by Simon Steadman of Hinckley in 2008 before selling it to our vendor in 2010, at which point it was HPI clean and had an MOT at 7,507 miles and was black in colour. This was changed to the current livery in 2013. MOT'd each year with minimum mileage being added it is wonderful condition and benefits from recent tyres. Sold with the V5C, the MOT expired on the 19th June 2021, MOT history, and two service manuals, it is only being sold due to a house move and lack of storage.
