For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been fascinated by toy/model motorcycles (and cars), and the whole lockdown and isolating period has shown me that there’s plenty of other people who think alike.

It came into my mind recently, as I walked back through the local forest, on a leaf-strewn path, and spotted something blue and sparkling in among the first of the fallen autumn foliage; I stopped and picked it up, it being a small (say, 1:64 scale) Chevrolet toy car.

Alongside the path, there was a log and so I carefully placed it on the top of it, in case its owner returned.

Why did I think that? Well, when we were children, my brother Simon had a bathtub Triumph toy he took everywhere with him, and it would occasionally be ejected (either accidentally or perhaps on purpose) from his pushchair, cue a load of wailing, and we had to trek back down the road, until it was found; I imagined perhaps a similar scenario with the well-worn blue muscle car. Incidentally, Simon’s Triumph always was found, and he still has it, on his mantelpiece.

We’re still as it was regards toys and models; my recent birthday saw one of my gifts a ‘mint and boxed’ (I know the lingo…) Models of Yesteryear 1914 Sunbeam V-twin and Milford sidecar (incidentally, the Sunbeam, once the property of John Griffith and in the Stanford Hall collection, I believe, is now living in Germany, sans sidecar) which joins a host of others already in situ; there’s Goldies, Black Shadows and some favourite cars, so a load of Gullwing Mercs and E-type Jags, including the famous lightweight car we featured alongside Thor in our August 2011 issue.

For Simon’s recent 40th birthday, he was the happy recipient of one of Hiroboy’s (look them up) amazing 1:9 scale, all-metal motorcycle kits, this being a model of the Montgomery-Anzani V-twin, Simon’s professed favourite motorbike of all time. He’s currently building another of his favourites, a Ducati 916. Must be a V-twin thing.

He’s started to get me into model making a bit now as well; it is fascinating, and there’s a whole community of ‘builders’ who make some amazing things, mainly from high-end kits and some from scratch. It’s supported by an online community, including some fascinating films of the ‘builds.’

Talking of films, as well as our usual online presence, we’ve started a collaboration with The Classic Motorcycle YouTube channel – go on YouTube and do a search, there’s some interesting bits appearing on there. My own Sunbeam will be coming up soon, with some nice running and riding footage that we’ve been experimenting with.

THE CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE | DECEMBER 2020

Classic archive

P

osed in the car park of The Motor Cycle offices at Dorset House, Stamford Street, London – is 28-year-old Egyptian Thabit Abdel Said, who, on his self-built Matchless G3L, had ridden from his home city of Khartoum, the Sudan, to England.

The Motor Cycle’s report, published in the August 6, 1953 volume, began: “It is rapidly becoming almost commonplace for a motorcyclist to turn up… and remark casually that he (or she) has ridden from some distant part of the world… [but] Abdel Said called in with a tale of determination and courage that would be hard to equal.”

It was explained that two years prior, Thabit Abdel Said had decided he would like to see more of the world, and the best way he could do it was by motorcycle. But he wasn’t able to afford a new machine, so the solution was to build one, using what was available from the ex-WD stores locally.

With huge numbers of Matchless G3Ls, Norton 16Hs and BSA M20s all exported for use in the Second World War African campaigns, these were the obvious choices. Dispatch riders largely favoured the more modern, lighter and sprightlier overhead valve 350cc Matchless G3L over the two tough old sidevalves – and Thabit decided to build what was, largely, a Matchy.

But it wasn’t quite that easy, as not all parts were available – for example, he had to use a Norton 16H front hub. Now, this wouldn’t mate happily with the AMC Teledraulic forks so he came upon a solution; he dispensed with brake plate and shoes, it fitted now, and ran sans front brake. As he explained: “in certain circumstances a front brake was more of a hindrance than a help anyway.” Which was probably true when he set off on dusty dirt tracks, but once in London, the brake might’ve been handy.

Other preparations included cans lashed to the fork legs to carry spare fuel, with one of the rear panniers carrying spares for the Matchless, the other food, water and other personal equipment for its rider.

The Motor Cycle explained: “His clothing (apart from the usual walking-type garments) was limited to one of those light gabardine jackets optimistically called ‘windcheaters’

and a pair of gloves.”

And it wasn’t an easy journey, right from the start. The road out of Khartoum along the Nile to Wadi Haifa involved crossing about 200 miles of desert. Although there was a road of sorts, more often than not it was completely covered by drifting sand, making it practically impossible to follow. What would happen, is Abdel Said would stray off the road, unknowingly, but then sink in the sand. He had to drag it free by sheer force as the unforgiving sun and no help for miles meant the other option was even more unappealing…

He’d unload the Matchless, walk his gear up the road for a mile or so, go back and drag the recalcitrant, now lightened, single up and out, walking and bulldozing his way along.

He was doing this at times for 15 or 16 hours a day. At such times, his sustenance was dates and water.

From Egypt, the roads improved, as the doughty traveller headed for Cairo, then the coastal city of Alexandria, where he boarded a boat bound for Naples. Said The Motor Cycle: “The toughest part of the journey was behind him, and he could look forward to a summer trip through Europe – or so he thought.”

In Naples, one of the light-fingered locals relieved him of his cash reserves, and treasures collected en route. He was left with just £30 but, undaunted, he pressed on towards Rome, Florence and Milan.

“By living on the country, and sleeping in barns, hedges and ditches, he cut living costs down to the absolute minimum and spent money on petrol and oil only.” And food, presumably.

Switzerland was next – tackling snow in his windcheater, and then the back brake failed too. So now with no brakes, he somehow made it into Germany, where, happily, he had friends, so at least now was able to rest and recuperate somewhat.

France was next – and a twoday starvation period, owing to no currency and no way of obtaining any, with banks closed – before crossing on the ferry to Dover, and thence, after 35 days of travel, to London, and The Motor Cycle offices. Let’s hope they treated him to decent feed.

What next? The return journey of course, though he was already planning another tour, back to England, when finances allowed.

News&Events NMM machines at Bonhams

More than 50 British motorcycles – and motorcycle-related cars – from the National Motorcycle Museum will be offered

by Bonhams Motorcycle Department at the Winter Sale on the weekend of December 5/6 at Bicester Heritage.

The sale will be conducted online, though viewing will be available at Bicester.

Highlights include some fabulous vintage ware, including two Bullnose Sunbeam Model 90s – one of which was the machine we featured in our January 2018 issue – and a 1929 Model 18 Norton, purchased from Bonhams and restored in the museum’s workshops.

Rarities from the 1930s include a pair of 600cc Ariel Square fours – the earlier being a 1935 ohc example – and a singlecylinder OEC with the firm’s own special front end. Also from the

1930s comes a Python-engined Vincent-HRD. Triumphs are well represented too, with an early version of both Thunderbird and Bonnevilles up for offer, plus a pair of triples.

A particularly interesting machine, a 1951 TRW in ‘time warp’ condition is as new, having covered just 14 miles.

Triumph’s postwar machine, based on the Trophy model but with a new side-valve engine, was developed for the British forces, with many seeing service overseas. This example was originally sent to Canada and was purchased by the museum in its original Triumph crates.

Later Nortons include a pair of Dominators, a 1968 P11A and a 1974 John Player cafe racer, the one-year-only fully faired machine, based on the Commando. There’s also a 1990 F1.

There are a few racers in the sale too; a 1936 ex-works Excelsior Manxman among them, as well as a

Vincent-HRD Python (estimate £20,000-25,000) and Velocette Mk.VIII KTT (£30,000-40,000) to the fore, of some of the machines to be offered.

THE CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE | DECEMBER 2020

Velcoette 1948 Mk.VIII KTT (the engine originally supplied to Eric Oliver, though now housed in another 1948 frame, supplied to Archers of Aldershot) and a 1954 AJS 7R. The collection also includes a quartet of cars or cycle cars produced by motorcycle manufacturers, including the believed sole surviving 1921 Douglas 10hp car, one of only six built. Formerly the property of the late Lt Col ‘Tiny’ Ayers, it is offered in a good restored condition, with an odometer reading of 3834 miles. Other cars come from Morgan, BSA and a 9hp AJS. The National Motorcycle Museum is recognised as the largest exhibitor of British motorcycles, with 1000 machines fully-restored to their original specification, representing 170 different marques spanning 120 years of motorcycle manufacturing in the British Isles.

James Hewing, director

of the National Motorcycle Museum, said: “We are pleased to be offering enthusiasts and collectors the opportunity to acquire motorcycles from our reserve collection, with those that have been restored in our own workshop having a solid silver plaque fitted to them confirming the provenance.

“This year’s events have given us the time to assess our reserve and duplicate inventory, and we can now look forward to reopening having freed up some desperately needed storage space.”

Ben Walker, International Department Director for Bonhams Collectors’ Motorcycles said: “We are delighted to have been entrusted with this premium patriotic collection from such a prestigious name in the motorcycle world.”

The National Motorcycle Museum will line up with a trio of other important one-owner collections, synonymous with

Cammy Ariel Square Four from 1935. (£16,000-22,000)

Ex-works 250cc Excelsior Manxman dates to 1936. (£16,000-20,000)

Unusual OEC, with a 600cc sidevalve JAP engine. (£6000-10,000)

Bonhams motorcycle sales, representing a diverse range of classic and vintage motorcycle marques and models.

The Connoisseur Collection, led by a brace of Brough Superiors, (a 1937 Brough Superior 11-50HP and 1937 Brough Superior SS80, offers numerous blue-chip examples from the estate of a late motorcycle connoisseur.

The Competition Collection of trials bikes is headlined by ex-works, ex-Ron Langston 1958 Ariel HT5, a class-leading heavyweight trials iron and a gold medal winner at the 1958 ISDT. The final collection consigned

so far comes direct from Carole Nash, a stalwart of the motorcycle community and founder of the namesake and industry leading motorcycle insurer, which includes a 1914 BSA 4¼hp Model H Motorcycle Combination), offered in barn-find condition.

The Winter Sale will be a live and online auction, with an auctioneer at the rostrum, with bids accepted online, by telephone or by absentee bids.

The sale will be on view in the 50,000sq ft former RAF Bomber Station hangar at Bicester Heritage, with pre-sale viewing December 3-5, 9am to 5pm, by appointment only.

Is there anything much better looking than an earlier Thunderbird? (£8000-12,000)

Series C Vincent Comet is a late example, being 1954. (£18,000-24,000)

This TRW Triumph has just 14 miles from new showing on the clock.

Estimate is £4000-6000)

Nicely presented Venom dates to 1961. (£8000-12,000)

In common with motorcycle makers, firms specialising in scooter production announced their next season’s line-ups.

Priced at £35, the Abbotsford three-wheeled scooter, for riders nervous of two-wheeled machines, was powered by a 142.5cc ohv Norman engine, as was the straight tube triangulated framed Kenilworth offered with or without rider’s seat, priced from £52-10s.

As British and European makers were returning to peacetime motorcycle manufacture with new designs, updated prewar machines and civilianised military models, so was Harley-Davidson.

Although they’d built civilian models in limited numbers through the war, the large American factory was now scaling up their production levels.

Their Servi-Car, powered by a 741.8cc side-valve V-twin, was priced from $580, with options of commercial body styles, tow bar and power output. An identical capacity side-valve engine with mildly differing horsepower rating powered the WL and WL Special solo

In military trim, these were supplied to the forces as the WLA (American) and WLC (Canadian). Maintaining the side-vale theme, the Flathead Big Twin (1215.96cc) remained in production as the U and UL (sports solo) with prices starting at $427.25. This model range began as the V and VL in 1930.

For the sporting rider, the 988.1cc Knucklehead – launched for the 1936 season – remained catalogued, in three engine specifications: ES low compression for sidecar applications, E medium compression and the 95mph EL high compression. Prices started at $463.67.
