1952 Norton 499cc 30M Manx Racing MotorcycleFrame no. G11M2 45817Engine no. G11M2 45817•Present ownership since 2004•Concours award winner•Requires re-commissioning'With a history stretching back almost to the very dawn of motorcycling itself, the Norton single is without doubt the greatest of all the over-the-counter production racers.' - Mick Walker, Manx Norton.Dubbed 'Manx Grand Prix' in 1939, what would become the best-known racing motorcycle of all time had become simply 'Manx' when production resumed in 1946. Norton's over-the-counter Manx racers were much the same as their pre-war counterparts, with single-overhead-camshaft engine, 'square' cylinder head finning, upright gearbox and plunger-suspended 'garden gate' frames. Only the presence of the Roadholder telescopic front fork readily distinguished them from the '39 machines. 1949 brought the first significant change in engine specification, the Manx gaining a double-overhead-camshaft 'head like that enjoyed by the works bikes for many years, but the major development was the arrival of the Featherbed frame for 1951. The works' adoption of the McCandless-designed duplex-loop swinging-arm chassis the previous year had given the Nortons a new lease of life in Grand Prix racing, and Geoff Duke duly took both the 350 and 500cc world titles in 1951. The cycle parts remained essentially unchanged from then on apart from the adoption of a double-sided, twin-leading-shoe front brake for 1962. Manx engine development, though, continued steadily, latterly under Doug Hele's direction, until production ceased at the end of '62, among the most significant design changes being the adoption of 'square' bore and stroke dimensions for 1954 and coarser-pitch bevel teeth in 1957. Loved and admired by all that have ridden one, the Manx Norton in its many forms is a mainstay of today's classic racing scene.Purchased by the vendor's late father in 2004 and dry stored, this Model 30 Manx has not been used for at least five years and will require re-commissioning before further use. Concours awards include 'Best in Show and 'Best Competition' at the East Kent Classic in 2006, and 'Best in Show' at the Cardiff Motorcycle Show in 2011 (list available).Key not requiredFootnotes: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.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The mounted group of three miniature dress medals attributed to Major-General H. M. Wemyss, 1st Bengal Fusiliers, who was severely wounded in the attack on the Lahore Gate during the assault of Delhi The Most Honourable Order of the Bath, C.B. (Military) Companion’s badge, gold and enamel, with integral silver-gilt riband buckle; Indian Mutiny 1857-59, 1 clasp, Delhi; Afghanistan 1878-80, no clasp, mounted as worn, good very fine (3) £300-£400 --- Provenance: The recipient‘s full-sized awards were sold in these rooms, as part of the Brian Ritchie Collection, in March 2005. C.B. London Gazette 22 February 1881. Henry Manley Wemyss was born at Cupar on 8 November 1831 and was educated at Edinburgh Academy and at Addiscombe. He was appointed Ensign on 9 December 1848 and landed in India in January 1849, when he was directed to do duty with the 57th Bengal Native Infantry at Dinapore. In June of that year he was posted to the 1st Bengal European Fusiliers at Cawnpore, and was promoted Lieutenant on 18 April 1853. At the outbreak of the Great Sepoy Mutiny the 1st Bengal Europeans were directed to form part of the 1st Ambala Brigade, Delhi Field Force. Wemyss, who was then holding a staff appointment, immediately rejoined his regiment and reached it in time to take part in the battle of Badli-ki-Serai on 8 June. He subsequently advanced with the British force to Delhi Ridge. Before Delhi on 14 July 1857, he was wounded while leading his regiment in the sortie which cleared the suburb of Subzi Mundi. ‘During these operations’, in which the Fusiliers lost sixty-four killed and wounded, ‘Lieutenant H. M. Wemyss, the Adjutant of the Regiment, was hit by a musket-ball on his side; but he refused to go to the rear, and continued to perform his duties.’ Besides participating in numerous engagements between 8 June and 11 September, ‘including the cutting out of a Battery of Light Guns at Ludlow Castle, on the 12 August, by a column under command of Brigadier G. D. Showers’, he was present at the rout of the enemy at the Nudjufghur canal on 25 August when Brigadier John Nicholson’s force killed eight hundred rebels and captured thirteen guns. At the storm of the city on 14 September, the Fusiliers were selected by Nicholson to lead the First Column in the escalade of the shattered wall near the Kashmir Bastion and climb down to the main-guard by St James’s Church. Here Wemyss was asked by Lieutenant Noel Money, commanding the leading men of the regiment, how to proceed. Wemyss showed him a narrow lane leading to the Kabul Gate and told him to pass down it under the wall for safety’s sake. Wemyss and regimental headquarters were delayed in following by having to clear some buildings near the Kashmir Gate. When this was accomplished they moved on and were themselves passing down another narrow lane when the commanding officer, Major George Jacob, fell mortally wounded. Captain Greville, the next senior officer, took command and at length headquarters caught up with Money near the Kabul Gate. The next objective was the heavily defended Lahore Gate. Greville suggested breaking into some houses in order to take the enemy in the rear but Nicholson ignored him and called for a direct assault. Three desperate and costly charges followed. ‘Anything I had been in before was child’s play’, wrote Money afterwards, ‘It was here that I saw about twelve officers knocked out in five minutes.’ ‘General Nicholson, now in front, shook his sword in defiance at the multitude of the enemy around, who, with shouts and yells, poured grape bullets, and stones on the party below. Nicholson, “our best and bravest,” was struck down mortally; wounded; Speke, “gentle everywhere but in the field” fell mortally wounded; Greville, in re-forming the Regiment, was shot through the right shoulder. Captain Caulfield (doing duty), Lieutenants Wemyss, Butler, and Woodcock, all fell at this time; as well as a large proportion of the rank and file.’ Following the capture of Delhi, Wemyss was granted leave but returned to the fray in January 1858 as Brigade Major of the Ambala Brigade and held that appointment until October. In spite of his prominent role at Delhi he was denied public recognition. An official source states: ‘Not mentioned in despatches published of the Siege, from it is believed, the deaths of General Nicholson and Major Jacob and the despatches of the 1st Brigade not having been sent in from so many of the senior Officers being killed and wounded.’ Wemyss rejoined his regiment in December 1859, following a period of leave in England, and transferred to the Bengal Staff Corps on its creation. He afterwards held a succession of staff appointments in the ‘new’ Oudh Division until 1867, when he was posted officiating second-in-command of the 39th Native Infantry, his former regiment having joined the Home Establishment as the 101st (Royal Bengal) Fusiliers in 1861. Advanced to Captain in 1861 and Major in 1868, he succeeded to the command of the 39th Native Infantry in 1872, and the next year was given command of the Jhansi district in addition. During the first phase of the Second Afghan War Wemyss commanded the 39th Native Infantry at Ali Musjid in March and April 1879. From 11 April to August he commanded the Bhopal Battalion on garrison duties at Landi Kotal, and commanded a reconnaissance of cavalry and infantry to Kam Shiliman to watch the movements of the Mohmands. During the second campaign he served as Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General, Khyber Line Force, and accompanied the 1st Brigade in its advance to meet the Kabul troops at Kita Sang. In January and February 1880, he took part in the Lughman expedition against the Wazir Kugianis, and in April participated in the Hissarak Valley expedition. For services in the Afghan War he was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath, was Mentioned in Despatches, and was promoted Brevet Colonel. Advanced to the rank of Honorary Major-General in 1890, he died at Stanmore, Canterbury, on 17 November 1915.
