1998 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera, 3,400cc. Registration number R579 VSE. Chassis number WPOZZZ99ZWS607204. Engine number 66W12241. Asked to nominate his favourite generation of Porsche 911 during its 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2013, racing driver and journalist Tiff Needell chose the 996 commenting: "This was the model that brought the 911 into the modern world. We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner. Not a convert before, completely converted after!" Traditionalists may have decried the 996's water-cooled engine and shared Boxster componentry, however, the newcomer's use of a brand-new platform (the 911's first since 1963) meant that it was notably lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor. Equipped with four-valve cylinder heads, the 996's 3.4 litre engine developed 296bhp and 258lbft (outputs comparable to those of the 993 Carrera RS's 3.8 litre unit). Allied to either six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the free-revving flat six enabled the 2+2-seater to sprint to 60mph in 5 seconds and onto 174mph. More ergonomically laid-out and spacious than that of any previous 911, the 996's cabin also boasted a far better HVAC system. Early 3.4 litre 996 cars are increasingly sought after because of their stronger dual row IMS bearings and mechanical throttles. VSE in Artic Silver with Cinnamon leather interior is a six speed manual with sunroof and a long list of optional extras when ordered new. These include the sports package, traction control, LSD, sports seat left bare, 18" Techno wheels, cruise control with 6 CD autochanger and air conditioning. Ordered new by George Clarke of Aberdeen there are 17 stamps in the service book, mainly with Porsche dealers or specialists, the last at 135,985 miles in June 2020, there are three brake fluid stamps, the last at 135,985 miles. There is a large service history folder and MOT history, in 2009 it was purchased by long term owner, Roger Hewitt with a mileage of 64,310 and regularly serviced including a borescope inspection of the cylinders in 2018, in 2019 he spent £2,900 on new manifolds, exhaust and catalytic converters, as well as the coil packs. In June 2020 he sold it on to a dealer who serviced it at 135,985 miles and replaced the air conditioning radiators, a week later our vendor purchased it and replaced the battery and rear tyres. Today the mileage is at 137,845 miles. Being sold as the owner has a new business venture, it must be noted that there is an issue with the coolant, hence the low auction estimate. Sold with the V5C, MOT until August 2021, MOT history, service history, receipt folder, one key, and Porsche manuals.

1956 Norton ES2, 499 cc, project. Registration number UAT 973. Frame number 58682 (see text). Engine number L4 66937.Introduced at the 1927 Motor Cycle Show, the ES2 sports roadster used the Model 18?s overhead-valve engine in the cradle frame of the overhead-camshaft CS1, and from then onwards the ?ES2? designation was always applied to Norton?s top-of-the-range overhead-valve single. The ES2 was built in several versions during a production run lasting until 1963, though the engine dimensions of 79x100mm bore/stroke - first adopted by James Landsdowne Norton in 1911 - remained unchanged to the end. Post-war developments included the adoption of an alloy cylinder head (1955), alternator (1959) and the slim-line version of the Featherbed frame introduced on the single-cylinder range for 1961. Production of all of Norton?s traditional singles ended in 1963, though the ?ES2? designation was later applied to a re-badged Matchless. This project, found at the back of Hull racer Mike Browns shed was registered to Gordon Walmsley, followed by three others before Keith Bass in 1970, then Gary Wilkinson, all of Hull, in 1971 before Mike bought it.Please note there is only a crank, rod and piston in the engine.Sold with the V5C and RF60, please note these documents state the frame to be L4 66937.

Lot 314

1968 BSA Bantam D14/4, 175 cc. Registration number PAU 174G. Frame number D14 39457 (covered by powder coating). Engine number D14 39457.The introduction of the 172cc D10 model in 1966 marked a number of important technical developments for the ever-popular Bantam, the most important of which were a change to coil ignition, replacing the old flywheel generator, and the adoption of a four-speed gearbox, while a raised compression ratio and bigger carburettor increased maximum power to 10bhp and the top speed to 62mph. Introduced for 1968, the successor D14 Bantam boasted a more powerful engine producing 12.6bhp. All three models – Supreme, Sports and Bushman – used the four-speed gearbox first seen on the preceding D10 while the latter pair boasted new, heavy-duty front forks.PAU was owned by Neil Beck in 2003 who sold it to our vendor as a project in 2016 as a retirement present to himself. He undertook an extensive restoration project including a full engine and gearbox overhaul, the front forks were overhauled, new stainless rims and spokes for the wheels, full suspension overhaul and the frame and tinware were painted by Vale Paints.The cost of this, excluding man hours was some £3,400.Sold with the V5C, many receipts for works undertaken, a breakdown of the works and various literature. This bike is ready to show or go but will need a little recommissioning as it has sat since the restoration.

Lot 316

1985 Honda Silver Wing, 649cc. Registration number B110 VWT (see text). Frame number RC10 4100085. Engine number not found.Introduced in 1982, the Silver Wing was based on the existing CX500 twin and represented a more affordable alternative to the four-cylinder Gold Wing. Conceived as a middleweight sports-tourer, the CX featured an 80-degree v-twin engine with water-cooling and four valves per cylinder, mounted transversely beneath a spine-type frame and driving the rear wheels via shaft. The GL500 Silver Wing variant was mechanically virtually identical, although readily distinguishable by virtue of its top-half fairing, stepped seat and smaller rear wheel.Recently recovered from a garage as part of a deceased estate, there is no paperwork with this machine but it is recorded with DVLA, and was last on the road in 2001.

Lot 330

1939 Velocette KSS MkII, 350cc. Registration number 277 UXC (non transferrable). Frame number KDD8666. Engine number KSS9051 The KSS (standing for Kamshaft, the owners of the company were originally German, and the SS for Super Sports was introduced in 1925 and from the beginning the overhead camshaft K-type stamped its authority on its competitors, its victory in the Junior TT on its first outing establishing its credentials and kick starting a 20 year long distinguished competition career. Velocette introduced the first practical foot-change on the K-type in 1931 and the arrival of the Mk II KSS in 1936 saw significant enhancements. All new for that year was the aluminium-alloy cylinder head with enclosed valve gear, together with the cradle frame and heavyweight Webb forks of the new MSS. In this form the KSS was to remain in production until late 1947, heavy production costs contributing to its demise. A touring version, the KTS was also developed with 19-inch wheels and matching mudguards. In 1936 Velocette developed the KSS Mk II, which had a Mk V KTT based chassis and a new engine with an alloy cylinder head. From the Velocette Owners Club website, according to the Factory Despatch Book 6, it would appear that KSS/KTS engines with engine numbers 8016 ? 9243, left the factory between May 1937 - Sept 1940. UXC?s engine number of KSS9051 putting it in 1939. In 2004 John Andrew of Barton owned it, selling to our vendor in 2008. Our deceased vendor then set about organising a restoration which included an engine rebuilt along with new wheels and exhaust. It is correctly liveried in black with gold lettering/tank lining and equipped with the distinctive Brooklands-style fishtail exhaust system. It uses KTS mudguards instead of KSS ones. Sold with V5C

Lot 337

1982 Yamaha DT 50 MX, 49cc. Registration number BTT 647Y. Frame number 5M61625. Engine number 5M61625.The Yamaha DT50MX superseded the DT50M when introduced in June 1981 and can easily be identified by its Mono-Cross(MX) rear suspension with a silver painted square-section rear swinging arm and a more angular tank as opposed to the more rounded one found on the M variant. The 'MX' designation was commonly used on Yamaha motorcycles fitted with the 'Mono-Cross' rear suspension, which was the first to employ a single shock-absorber. It remained in production largely unchanged until 1996, gaining only a CDI ignition system and a change to square bodied direction indicator lights in 1986.BTT was owned by Levi Small in 2011 before selling it to our vendor as a restoration project in 2013. He had this undertaken by Motorcycle Warehouse of Newton Abbot in 2015, including shot blasting the frame, swinging arm and stand, a repaint and clutch, it has only covered some 20 odd since since then. A DEP sports exhaust is fitted.In 2007 the MOT history shows a mileage of 5,680, today the odometer reads 8,403 miles.Unused for several years this machine will require recommissioning before use on the road.Sold with the V5C and receipts for the restoration.

1959 Greaves 25DB Sports Twin, 247 cc. Registration number SKU 316. Frame number 59 2792. Engine number 950A3123.Greeves commenced production in 1953 with a range consisting of four single-cylinder models (two road, two competition) plus a solitary roadster twin powered by the 250cc Anzani engine. They were famous for their competition machines and were pre-eminent in both trials and scrambles. Alongside the off-road bikes came a range of Villiers-engined road machines, commencing with the 197cc Standard Roadster. The ?Sports Twin? from 1959 incorporated the popular, smooth and powerful Villiers ?2T? 247cc twin.SKU was owned by Peter Alton in 2015 before our client bought it as a project in 2016. Over the next several months he stripped and overhauled most of the machine, including powder coating the frame and tinware, but has not really used it.

1956 Bentley S1 Continental Fastback. Coachwork by H J Mulliner, Registration Number: 10JML, Chassis Number: BC28BG, Engine Number: BC27B. ‘Their responsiveness, beauty of line and traditional coach-built interior fitments make them the ultimate in fifties personal transportation’ The Flying Lady.The Bentley S1 Sports Saloon was first introduced in 1955. It quickly became synonymous with effortless high speeds and luxury touring. Of all the designs, and possibly all the Bentley’s, the Mulliner S1 Continental Fastback is the most iconic example of high-performance elegance. The S type was built on a new chassis, which included improved brakes and suspension. They were also fitted with the latest, enlarged model, of the inlet-over-exhaust, six-cylinder engine, which produced 4887cc. As well as this, the Continental came with a shorter radiator and high gearing. All of which resulted in exceptional sports car performance; a top speed of 120mph and it could reach 50mph in just over 9 seconds. In 1955 Autocar wrote: ‘It brings Bentley back to the forefront of the world’s fastest cars’.The luxury aspect of this car is apparent on first sight, the famous lines of the Mulliner coachwork are sublime. The interiors were fitted with touring in mind, comfort and space are paramount. It is noted in the original build sheets for 10JML, that an opening head and rear sun blind are added, which would no doubt contribute to the comfort in which you would travel to the Cote d’Azur, and they are still present to this day. Again commenting, Autocar state: ‘the latest Bentley model offers a degree of safety, comfort and performance that is beyond the experience and perhaps even the imagination of the majority of the worlds motorists’.This early example has a fantastic and comprehensive history. Initially registered in 1956 to Mr Johnstone, the managing director of H J Mulliner and Co Ltd. She was first displayed at the Earls Court Motor Show and not long after sold to a Mr D Letts, known for racing MG’s at Brooklands. During this ownership 10JML was looked after by Jack Barclay; the first note in this car’s extensive history is a simple remedy of a failing stop lamp. In 1961 the car was sold, via Jack Barclay, to a J W Jennings of Samuel Jones & Co Ltd. There is documented dialogue between Barclay’s then manager and Jennings recording the sale. Mr Jennings kept and maintained the car, using Rolls Royce Ltd companies, until 1968. It was then passed to The Freeman Heating Co who commissioned maintenance work, including an engine rebuild, to preserve the cars originality.In 1979 the vehicle was purchased by David Rolfe, an avid collector of Bentley cars and a regional chairman of the BDC. He kept, looked after, and enjoyed this Continental for 35 years. She was then sold to a Mr Head, who upon taking ownership of her in 2008, initiated a specialist report. All highlighted issues were recorded and then remedied. Mr Head rallied the car in Australia in 2010, taking part in ‘Bentleys Australia Over the Top’, 44 Bentleys travelling through the outback, and no issues were recorded. In 2017 Mr Head then instructed a full restoration, to include a bare metal respray, refinishing of the veneers and £17,000 worth of mechanical conservation. The care shown during this process is apparent in the resplendent finish seen when one views the car in the flesh. The car passed to the present owner in 2018.10JML is an impeccable example of one of the most desirable Bentley’s ever to grace our roads. We are delighted to offer her as part of the Newton House Collection, with hope that buyers will not miss the opportunity acquire such a beautiful and rare car.

1959 Chevrolet Corvette C1. Registration Number: 964 UYY, Chassis Number: J59S108108 ,Engine Number: 19J125126.In 1927 Harley Earl was hired as head of General Motors new Art and Colour Division, aka head of styling. Earl was a passionate admirer of sports cars, and he had a long history in coachbuilding. After the Second World War, Earl became aware that a great number of GIs, returning from service in Europe, were bringing home MG’s, Jaguars, and Alfa Romeos. At the same time, American competitors, Nash Motors, had just released their own performance vehicle. As a contemporary devotee to the sportscar, Earl persuaded GM that they needed to build an “All-American” two seater. In 1951, alongside his Special Projects crew, Earl began work on a new car, codename ‘Opel’. In 1953 at the Motorama car show, the product was unveiled. The Corvette, taking its name from a small, manoeuvrable fighting frigate. The Corvette was originally hand-built in Flint, Michigan at a disused truck plant. Despite these humble origins, the outer body was built from fibreglass, a revolutionary new material for the age. Initially, despite the radical body, the cars were fitted with standardised Chevrolet components, including truck engines and automatic transmission. In 1955, realising that this would not compete with the cars offered from Italy, England and even closer American rivals, Chevrolet manufactured the V8. This new engine, with 195bhp, alongside a manual 3-speed transmission, revolutionised the performance of the car. By 1958 the Corvette had become an American success story. The style had tailored to the era of chrome and adopted the popular style of four bold headlights. As well as this the engine had been fine-tuned, they would produce up to 290 bhp. Having developed even further, the cars of 1959, look, and sound, like the all-American sports car first envisioned by Harley Earl. This stunning example was first imported to the UK in 2014. The finish in soft yellow with a low jutting chrome grill. The interior with button back yellow leather seats and the iconic wrap-around wind shield. So admirably characteristic of its time. She comes with her correct papers and certificates, as well as recent documentation from her time in this country. Notably a service was conducted on December 15th 2020, where steering lower column fouling was rectified. We are told before that she lived in Texas, and that she was exported from South Dakota. Recently she has been stored in the Newton House collection, maintained and looked after with utmost attention, as can only be allowed by such a car fanatic. Recent service history includes work taken place to adjust suspension. This Corvette rightly takes its position in the sale of this collection. Like the other vehicles, it represents an important example of a universally respected car at the height of its development. The C1 rivals in style and performance all other cars of this period, and perhaps all American cars ever produced.
