Lot 444
Ridden by Tommy RobbHonda 250cc RC163 Grand Prix ReplicaRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. JML-PMR 006Engine no. MC14E-1072447•Built by Phil Morris•Based directly on Mike Hailwood's RC163•Honda CBR250RR engineThe Honda RC163 won the 250cc World Championship with Jim Redman riding in its debut year of 1962, which also marked the recruitment of Tommy Robb into the Honda Grand Prix Team. The diminutive Ulsterman duly rewarded their faith in him by winning the 250cc class at the Ulster GP, beating champion-elect Jim Redman in the process. In fact, Tommy finished inside the top six in all four World Championship classes contested by Honda that year, a better performance than any of their other riders. Genuine examples of Honda's fabulous Grand Prix-winning multi-cylinder racers of the 1960s have always been out of the financial reach of all but the most wealthy collectors and museums. Generally considered far too precious to parade, let alone race, they are seldom seen in action. The result of this situation has been the growth in recent years of a 'cottage industry' of replica-builders, many of whom use the four-cylinder engine of the modern CB250R sports roadster, a Japan-only model never officially imported into the UK. When first introduced in 1986 as the Type MC14, this little jewel had around 45bhp on tap at 14,500rpm. The series progressed via the CBR250R (MC17 and MC19) to the CBR250RR (MC22) and was last made in 1999, though the engine type (MC14E) remained the same throughout. Water-cooling aside, it is the closest in spirit to Honda's Grand Prix power units of the 1960s. This CBR250RR-powered RC163 replica is one of 25 built by Phil Morris, which were eagerly snapped up by customers worldwide. Frame number '006', it is based on Mike Hailwood's works RC163 (owned by Frank Levy and displayed in the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu) which was borrowed for the purpose. The rolling chassis, cycle parts, tanks, and exhausts are faithful copies of the originals, while the machine also boasts numerous Hailwood-specific details. This is the first example completed and has been kept by Phil as a reference. 'There isn't another as close to the real thing,' he tells us. This RC163 replica has been ridden by former Honda works rider and Grand Prix winner Tommy Robb at numerous major events, and is the No. 2 bike of two similar available to him. The machine comes with a massive history file of invoices and other material.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

Ridden by Tommy Robb and John McGuinnessHonda 250cc RC163 Grand Prix ReplicaRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. JML-PMR 002Engine no. MC14E-1062676•Built by John Locksley•Modified by Phil Morris•Honda CBR250RR engineIntroduced for the 1962 season, the four-cylinder 250cc RC163 was little changed from the preceding year's World Championship-winning RC162. It too would enjoy the ultimate success, Jim Redman taking the '250' World Championship that year together with the '350' crown, while Luigi Taveri bagged the '125' title to make it three out of four championships contested for Honda. Only in the 50cc category, won by Suzuki, did they fail. The year 1962 also marked the recruitment of Tommy Robb into the Honda Grand Prix Team, and the diminutive Ulsterman duly rewarded their faith in him by winning the 250cc class at the Ulster GP, beating champion-elect Jim Redman. In fact, Tommy finished inside the top six in all four World Championship classes contested by Honda that year, a better performance than any of their other riders.

Water-cooling aside, it is the closest in spirit to Honda's Grand Prix power units of the 1960s. This CBR250RR-powered RC163 replica was built by John Locksley and bought directly from him by Phil Morris. Phil has since rebuilt the engine and modified the bike, swapping over the gearchange/rear brake to the 'British' arrangement and fitting new 'period' exhaust pipes. Ridden by former Honda works rider and Grand Prix winner Tommy Robb in numerous major events, this was one of two similar machines available to him. It was on this machine that Tommy had the accident that prompted him to retire from the track. The RC163 has also been ridden by TT star John McGuinness at the 'Festival of 1,000 Bikes'. Offered with history file.

It was not entirely new, however, and employed the floorplan of the outgoing model as well as its proven OHV 6750cc V8 powerplant. The opulent incomer was lower and longer than the Silver Shadow and featured a considerably larger glass area. Courtesy of its finely-tuned Girling hydraulic self-leveling suspension, it was said to provide the best road-holding ever offered by the marque. It was also the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable version of the Spirit of Ecstasy - it automatically withdrew into the safety of the radiator shell if dislodged from its standard position. There were a total of four iterations of the Silver Spirit, via which it remained in production until 1998, by which time BMW had obtained an interest in the manufacturer and the Spirit was replaced by the BMW V12-powered Silver Seraph.

Latterly Joseph went into partnership with two of his sons and is thought to have retired to London in 1862. His son, John Joshua Sewill (d. 1891) succeeded him and headed the business until his death in 1891, The firm was well regarded and opened branches in London (at 30 Cornhill prior to 1882), Glasgow and Locle (Switzerland). In 1867 a chronometer by Sewill won the Greenwich Trials and they became makers to the Admiralty. In the 1874 Greenwich Trials their chronometers came first and third. They also entered pieces into Kew trials, where a karrusel watch was awarded 81.8 marks in 1900. They won an award for 'services to horology' at the Paris Exhibition of 1862, and later became 'Maker to the Queen of Spain'.Condition Report: Tube is filled with no obvious airlocks, the float mechanism etc is intact and operational however will require setting-up/calibration.

A RARE GEORGE III INLAID MAHOGANY MERCURY WHEEL BAROMETERBaptista Ronchetti, Manchester, circa 1790The 8.5 inch circular silvered register signed Bap'st Ronchetti, Fecit and with additional inscription H. Lomas, Adlington to the centre within scale calibrated in barometric inches incorporating an engraved motif of Masonic tools suspended from a ribbon and with the usual weather observations to outer track, set behind hinged circular glazed moulded wood bezel incorporating additional recording hand to the glass and with chevron line border decoration, the chevron-edged case with open triangular pediment above arch-glazed Fahrenheit scale spirit tube thermometer to the baluster shaped upright inlaid with fan quadrants to upper angles and three oval radial paterae to lower margin, the rounded base with further oval patera over conforming fan rosette.96cm (38.5ins) high excluding finial. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. Baptista Ronchetti is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS & RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from Spear Street Manchester from 1785 and then later at 15 High Street until around 1810. Ronchetti emigrated from Tavernerio, near Lake Como, Italy in 1785 later sending for his son, Charles Joshua, and his nephew Louis Casartelli who were both accompanied by Dominic Bolongaro. Initially all three worked in Ronchetti's workshop before branching-out and setting-up on their own. Baptista Ronchetti is a well-regarded maker known for his stick and angle barometers and was one of the first to produce wheel barometers of the type which subsequently became the predominant design produced throughout the 19th century. The current lot is notable in being a particularly early example of its type most likely being made in the 1790's. Early features include the hinged wooden bezel (which is secured by a lock with keyhole set in the side of the case) as well as the truncated design of the top of the case. The additional name engraved on the dial is for H. Lomas of Adlington who is recorded by Banfield as working circa 1800-20. The presence of Lomas's signature (executed in a different hand) would suggest that he probably re-sold the barometer perhaps 20 years or so after it was made.Condition Report: Tube is filled with no obvious airlocks, the float mechanism etc. is intact and operational however will require setting-up/calibration. The dial/register is in fine original condition albeit with some minor discolouration/tarnishing; the front glass is cracked and the bezel has had some minor historic repairs to the chevron line decoration as well as a small loss. The thermometer is in good condition although the tube is a replacement which may have required the aperture for the bulb in the plate to be enlarged slightly . The case is in good with limited to a few small losses/historic repairs to the chevron banding, some slight shrinkage cracking to the edge veneers and other minor bumps, scuffs and age related blemishes.
