DMS 'Drixton' Honda 500T RR Racing Motorcycle Registration no. not registered Frame no. DMDR-003 Engine no. CB450E-5005717 Perhaps surprisingly, given the ubiquity of the Drixton-Honda replica in modern-day Classic racing, only a tiny handful was built in period by Swiss racer turned frame-maker Othmar 'Marly' Drixl, the first being commissioned by Australian racer Terry Dennehy to accommodate the CB450 'Black Bomber' motor. In recent years replicas of the Drixton-Honda, particularly in CB350 K4 form, have become one of the mainstays of historic motorcycle racing worldwide. Frame number '003' is the former Davies Motorsport (DMS) works bike campaigned by them at numerous CRMC meetings with Richard Parker as rider. Very competitive at the time, this machine won lots of 500cc Group 2 races and set many new lap records at different circuits such as Mallory Park, Brands Hatch, Snetterton, Donington Park, Cadwell Park, etc, etc. On 16th August 2011 Davies Motorsport sold the Drixton to an owner at that time resident in Dubai (later Wiltshire), from whom it was purchased by the current vendor in 2016. Since then the machine has been raced at CRMC events and IHRO European events including Spa Francorchamps, Assen and Chimay. It is fitted with extra oil feeds to the cam box (addressing a known issue), while the standard torsion-bar valve springs have been replaced with coil springs. An engine refresh was undertaken recently by D&M Engineering at a cost of £4,000 (bills on file) and we are advised by the vendor that the machine is ready to race next season. The front brake has been set up by specialist Dick Hunt (invoice on file). Accompanying paperwork includes numerous bills; a invoice recording DMS's sale to the previous owner; and a CRMC registration certificate issued in 2011. The machine comes with various spares to include a fairing, front mudguard, exhaust pipes/silencers, sprockets, shock absorbers, and a front wheel with brake disc. Footnotes: 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.
