Lot 2022

Rudge secured a 1- 2- 3 in the 1930 Junior TT using machines powered by a newly developed engine equipped with a radial four valve head. The new cylinder head appeared on production machines for the following season, one of which had a capacity of 248cc. The following season saw another addition to the range when a 248cc TT replica was added following the company's success in the 1931 Lightweight TT when they secured first and second places. For the 1933 model season the 248cc machines gained the alloy primary chaincase that had been introduced on the larger machines the previous year. The TT was dropped for the 1934 season, being replaced by a "Sport" model equipped with a positive stop foot gear change, a hand change being fitted to the Standard model, which itself was replaced the following season by a new machine fitted with a two valve head initially known as the Tourist and later the Rapid. The Sport continued in largely unaltered form, the most significant being the adoption of the larger fuel tank, fitted to higher capacity machines in the range, for the 1936 season. The two valve machine offered is presented in original condition requiring restoration following a lengthy period of inactivity prior to which it had been raced in vintage events where it proved to be a fast machine. It is accompanied by some Rudge transfers and a 250cc Rudge four valve engine is offered as a separate lot.

Lot 2024

James Landowne Norton founded the Norton Manufacturing Company during 1898 in his home city of Birmingham supplying components to the established cycle industry and also to the newly emerging motorcycle industry. By 1902 he had produced his first motorcycle employing a French clip on engine and over the next five years developed both the frame, lowering and elongating the basic cycle structure in order to mount the engine (and later the gearbox) within the frame structure and his own engine design which was introduced during 1907. When machines became available to the public in 1908 the prototypes displacement of 660cc had been reduced to 633cc. Equipped with aluminium crankcases and an iron head and barrel the new engine established a pattern that would run until 1954 and introduced a name to the motorcycling vocabulary that is as well regarded today as it was in the Edwardian period - the Big 4. 1909 saw the introduction of a smaller 475cc engine which, although not particularly successful in its own right formed the basis for a revised model introduced in 1911, with engine dimensions of 79 x100 mm and a swept volume of 490cc. Typed the no.2 under the system introduced to identify models during 1915, when the no. 2 was equipped with a chain final drive from the three speed gearbox instead of a belt it became the no.16. For 1921 a revised version of the 16 was introduced using the "low" or home market frame instead of the colonial frame that it had previously employed and shared with the Big 4, Norton added an H to the model number and the 16H came into being. The sporting 16H is as desirable today as it was when new, displaying as it does the best attributes of vintage motorcycle design. The model's specification placed it at a considerable advantage to many of its rivals, an advantage that was enhanced further by the reliability and build quality of the machine. The 16H offered dates from the end of 1923 having left the factory on the 12th December 1923 and is thus a 1924 season machine. It has been on display in a museum for a number of years. It is currently fitted with a contemporary Big 4 engine, although the original 16H engine is supplied with the machine. Offered in unrestored condition it is fitted with an unusual oil tank and a peculiar petrol tank with a double curve at the front, a feature that marque specialist Dr George Cohen has never seen, even in contemporary photographs.

Lot 2032

Undoubtedly one of the great British sporting motorcycles, the KTT (Kamshaft Tourist Trophy) enjoyed a career spanning three decades having first become available to the public at the end of 1928, when two MK I's were built. Production of the new model accelerated in 1929 when 178 were produced. As the name implies, the KTT was a production racer offered to the public. The model benefited from the experience gained by the successful works team, being in effect a replica of the works machines that had secured Velocette's second TT win in the 1928 Junior race. The new model was powered by an overhead cam single cylinder engine displacing 348cc with a bore and stroke of 74 x 81 mm that could be distinguished from the road going models in the range by the external stiffening webs employed on the crankcase. Lighter, steel flywheels were employed and a hotter camshaft was fitted. A great deal of attention was paid to strengthening the valve train to prevent breakages and a revised cylinder head was fitted. Drive was taken to a three speed gearbox, similar to that employed by the rest of the range but fitted with a set of close ratio gears, via a primary chain. The rigid frame was equipped with a set of braced Webb girder forks, a feature peculiar to the KTT. This machine employs a Mk 1 KTT engine housed in a contemporary KSS frame which was identical to the KTT unit, and is complete, except for a missing front brake plate. It is offered in unrestored condition. Prior to entering the museum it was campaigned in vintage racing events where, according to the owner, it proved to be "very fast" but would "benefit from a set of strutted forks".

Lot 2099

The Model 18 was a stalwart of the Norton range having first entered the marques catalogue during the twenties. Arthur Carrol had joined the Norton concern for 1931 following Walter Moore's defection to NSU and undertook the redesign of the side valve and overhead valve singles, essentially establishing the engines form for the next three decades. The 490cc Model 18 retained the traditional Norton engine dimensions of 79 x 100mm but, like the other singles in the range, changed visibly with the magneto moving from in front of the engine with its vintage style, horizontal drive case, to behind the engine together with the dynamo. For 1935 The Model 18 adopted a four speed, foot change gearbox and for the 1936 season the overhead valve models benefitted from new, more substantial pushrod tubes. The example offered appears to be in complete, original condition. Having been stored for a number of years its mechanical condition is unknown.

Lot 4003

- Reportedly `restored to a very high standard' and `driving very well' - Maroon deep-button upholstery and larger 1861cc engine - Buff logbook, UK V5C and sundry other paperwork Further Info: Introduced in late 1921, the Austin 12 (later known as the 'Heavy 12/4') became a legend within its own production lifetime. In many ways a scaled-down version of the existing 20/4 model, it was based around a sturdy ladder-frame chassis equipped with drum brakes and all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension. Powered by a 1661cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine, the newcomer could be had with a variety of open or closed body styles. Updated in 1927, the 12 gained a longer-stroke 1861cc powerplant, higher scuttle and wider track. Renowned for its durability and dependability, the Austin has long held a special place in Vintage car circles. The Heavy 12/4 Saloon offered hails from October 1928 and therefore boasts the bigger of the two engines fitted. `TY 4292' is charmingly presented in Maroon over Black and trimmed in matching Maroon upholstery. The vendor informs us that the car has been restored to `a very high standard, and is driving very well'. It is now offered with such period niceties as rear window blinds, and the paperwork includes a buff log book in addition to the V5C.

Lot 4006

- Bodied by the Olympia Carriage Works Ltd of Hammersmith - Featured in The Beaulieu Encyclopaedia of the Automobile (Volume 2) - Well known in VCC circles (and dated on 24th August 1957) Further Info: Introduced in 1912, the Vinot 12/14hp was powered by a four-cylinder 1692cc monobloc engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. The former featured pressure lubrication; while the latter employed a vertical change mechanism (3rd and 4th being sited under 1st and 2nd within its cylindrical casing). One of just two cars known to have been bodied by the Olympia Carriage Works Ltd of Hammersmith - the other being a Bentley 3 Litre - chassis 16090 was first registered as `BL 4181' on 6th April 1915. Supplied new to Edward Freeman of Wellington College, the Tourer subsequently passed to Arthur Curtis of Middlesex (December 1916) and Arthur Short of Nottingham (March 1919). Reputedly belonging to the Skelmesdale Shoe and Slipper Co by c.1940, the Vinot was sold to Douglas Dixon of St Helens during 1956 and only entered the current family ownership upon his death some forty-four years later. Writing to Motor Sport magazine in June 1976, Mr Dixon recalled that he had (a) found the 12/14hp `in complete and original condition, only in need of a repaint', (b) `done many thousands of miles both on rallies and long runs for my own pleasure' and (c) placed 3rd-in-class during the VCC's 1960 Prescott meeting. Well known in Veteran Car Club circles since it was issued with Certificate of Dating No. 657 on 24th August 1957, `BL 4181' has also graced the pages of Veteran & Vintage magazine (June 1964) and The Beaulieu Encyclopaedia of the Automobile (Volume 2, edited by Nick Georgano). Treated to sundry rewiring in 2000 and refurbished wire wheels / fresh tyres in 2003, the Tourer underwent a thorough engine overhaul in 2005 (circa 800 miles ago). Upgraded with a dynamo, electric fan and modern starter motor, this delightfully patinated Vinot burst eagerly into life upon a recent inspection. Offered for sale with history file including old MOT certificates dating back to 1961, assorted marque information and numerous invoices.

Lot 4017

- One of only 2 surviving close-coupled Weymann Saloons - Owned by a long-term member and ex-director of the Lagonda Club - Maintained to a high standard, boasting a number of unusual features Further info: Confirmed by Lagonda Club records, this delightful close-coupled Weymann Saloon is one of only two examples known to have survived. The accompanying original RF60 logbook records it registered on 12 June 1929 to Lagonda Distributors (Lon) Ltd, before passing to its first owner Tom Dearbergh of Bury St Edmunds. Owned by Roger Firth in the mid-1980s, the vendor, a long-standing member and ex-director of the Lagonda Club and VSCC member, added UU 7571 to his collection of Lagondas in 2006. It has been used extensively around the UK and Scotland including trips as far afield as the Orkneys and Shetlands. With an engineering background, he has maintained the car to a high standard, recent work including repainting of the wings in February 2013. Described as having "very good" bodywork "excellent" paintwork and interior trim, a previous Concours winner, UU 7571 boasts some interesting features. These include the ingenious fold-away rear seats, Barker mechanical dipping headlamp system, heater and period dipping rear view mirror. Understood to have a 'strong' engine with 40psi oil pressure, the specification includes revised cam timing, BTH magneto, twin SU carbs, KI-Gass, Autovac, a modern oil filter, quiet OH close ratio gearbox, 21" wheels, excellent Dunlop 5.00/5.25 tyres, ribbed front brake drums and stainless exhaust. Retaining its original registration mark, the car is accompanied by a good history file which includes a Swansea V5c document, invoices dating back to 1960, instruction book, copy period articles, correspondence, wiring diagrams, two RF60 logbooks and MoT certificates issued between 1979 and 2013. There is even a copy of The Times dated 12 June 1929 - the exact day of the car's first registration. A wonderful, extremely rare Vintage Lagonda offering comfortable and capable touring with vital protection from the British weather!

Lot 4027

- Extensive `body off, nut and bolt' restoration circa 8 years ago - A former show winner and `credit to its restorer' - Offered for sale with original registration number and history file Further Info: This delightful-looking `Flat Nose' Cowley Saloon is a 1930 example that's finished in the pleasing combination of Black four-door bodywork and Maroon interior trim. A previous show winner, it was apparently treated to an extensive `body off nut and bolt' restoration about eight years ago with, according to the car's history file, some £5,000 being spent on the interior refurbishment alone. In the vendor's words, `the black paintwork is of a similar calibre and the overall condition of this vintage Morris is a credit to the restorer'. The Cowley has covered just 1,364 miles since returning to the road and now seeks a new home. It is being offered complete with the aforementioned file and its original registration number, `MU 2544'. The move from Morris's distinctive `Bullnose' to the more conventional `Flatnose' radiator occurred in September 1926. The engine remained unchanged however, and was a 1548cc four-cylinder Hotchkiss-type unit manufactured in house by Morris Motors.

Lot 4076

- Restored in New Zealand and resident there until 2006 - Full weather gear including Auster screen - Regular use on Club events including visits to Ireland, Wales and Yorkshire Further info: According to its accompanying original registration certificate, the first owner was a Lady Sara Campbell who resided near Christchurch in New Zealand. Correspondence contained within the history file records that following her death in 1927 the car passed through several owners before it was purchased in a state of disrepair by a Jeremy Loughman in 1960. He subsequently had a new body crafted in aluminium before the car was acquired by a new owner in 1982 who completed its restoration and used the car in a number of South Island Rallies clocking up c.3,000 miles on each event. Imported to the UK around 2006, the car has more recently formed part of a small Sunbeam collection and used extensively in Club events including trips to Ireland, Wales and Yorkshire. Fitted with hood, sidescreens and an Auster screen, this elegant vintage tourer is offered with Swansea V5 and history file containing correspondence, assorted MoTs, copy instruction book and copy spares listing. Described as having "good" bodywork, engine and interior, the vendor advises the ammeter is currently inoperative and it is only for sale due to his wish to reduce his collection.

Lot 4079

- 1 of just c.45 known survivors and extensively restored 1999-2004 - Current family ownership since 1980 and original engine / body - Rare and desirable Vintage Tourer with 3.2-litre straight-six engine Further Info: The 1920s witnessed Sunbeam win the French and Spanish Grand Prixs, finish second at Le Mans, set numerous Land Speed Records and cause Henry Royce consternation regarding the quality and refinement of its products. Introduced at the 1923 Olympia Motor Show, the 20/60 was based around a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with leaf-sprung suspension (semi-elliptic front / cantilever rear) and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 3181cc seven-bearing OHV straight-six allied to four-speed manual transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of over 70mph (coachwork permitting). Available in Tourer, Sports Model, Enclosed Limousine and Enclosed Landaulette guises, some 1,560 20/60s were made before production ceased during 1926. Though, today only 45 or so are known to have survived. First registered by Liverpool County Council on 24th June 1925, an accompanying continuation buff logbook shows that `KC 9684' belonged to D. Forbes Keir Esq. post WW2 and relocated with him from Wallasey to London during August 1951. Acquired by Thomas Edward Brown Esq. of Byfleet, Surrey - and later The Sunbeams, Tolleshunt Knights, Essex - some eleven years later, the 20/60 has been in the current family ownership since August 1980. An MOT certificate issued that same year gave the Tourer's recorded mileage as 41,827, while its odometer currently shows 43,700 miles. Part of a large private collection for the past thirty-five years, `KC 9684' was treated to an extensive refurbishment from 1999-2004. I.S. Polson carried out some early mechanical work but Arthur Archer of Dunmow completed the majority. Stripped to a bare chassis, the Sunbeam had attention paid to its engine (new bearings, pistons, timing chains, crack testing etc), gearbox, back axle (new half shafts), steering box, magneto, dynamo, starter, Autovac, water pump, Claudel Hobson carburettor, suspension, wiring, brakes, hubs and wire wheels. As well as its original straight-six powerplant (number 1286E), the 20/60 pleasingly retains its original Tourer body which was rejuvenated by a Rolls-Royce apprenticed craftsman whose CV includes projects for P&A Wood, Clark & Carter and J.D. Classics. Connolly leather supplied new Maroon leather hides that were fashioned into deep-button upholstery by Barton & Son of Luton, while Robert Smith Coach Trimming of Hemel Hempstead remade the double duck hood and sidescreens. Assorted invoices and handwritten notes on file suggest that the restoration cost in excess of £58,000 which may seem a modest sum given the extent and quality of the work but then again some of the labour was charged at £10 per hour! Having covered circa 1,800 post-refurbishment miles, more recent fettling has seen `KC 9684' treated to a relined clutch (2006) and overhauled radiator (2009). Starting readily and running well upon inspection - the vendor appearing to engage all four gears without difficulty - the Sunbeam now exhibits a gentle patina. Sporting an `Old Bill' radiator mascot, well-stocked wooden dashboard, rear-mounted luggage trunk, secondary Auster screen, Rotax head- / sidelights, `diver's helmet' rear lights and twin side-mounted spare wheels etc, the 20/60 is beautifully detailed. A decidedly handsome and imposing Vintage Tourer, this `Supreme Sunbeam' is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with fresh MOT certificate and history file containing a period instruction handbook, sundry restoration photos, numerous old MOTs (dating back to 1968) and myriad restoration bills / invoices.
