1934 Norton Model 30 International. Registration number GL 1825. Frame number 30-53083. Engine number 58000. Gearbox SN 25073. Sold with the V5C, Science Museum build sheet, known history since 1978. The Norton International or Cammy Norton was built between 1931 and 1957. More than a TT replica sports roadster, the OHC Model 30, was 500 cc and the OHC Model 40 was 350 cc. During the 1930s it could be ordered from the Norton factory with all manner of racing parts fitted. Such factory bikes won many Isle of Man TT races during the 1930s, many of them 1-2-3 results. Norton factory riders on Inters, including Jimmie Guthrie, Jimmy Simpson, Stanley Woods were household names of the era. Production of the Model 30 and 40 International ended temporarily on the outbreak of World War II. Overseen by Joe Craig, Arthur Carroll had designed an overhead-camshaft engine for the works racers and although it retained the 79 mm × 100 mm bore and stroke of the Norton CS1 the Model 30 International was all new. The racing heritage led to quickly detachable wheels and hairpin type valve springs that could be changed rapidly when racing. In 1933, the forks and gearbox were redesigned and in 1935, the Sturmey-Archer gearbox was replaced, as Sturmey-Archer had stopped making gearboxes, so Norton bought the rights to the design and commissioned Burman to produce them. Offered from long term ownership, there is a Science Museum certificate from 1990 listing the build sheet, original engine and frame confirmed, the gearbox has been changed at some point in its life. The bike was despatched from the factory on the 12th April to Blays of Twickenham for their client Munson of Fifth Cross Road. In 1978 it was registered with DVLA by Paul Newsham of Bolton, who sold it to Stanley Thorpe of Blackburn in 1989, in 2008 it was with Miles Robinson of Preston and our vendor bought it from him in 2009. There are MOT's from 1980, and 2000- 2007. During his custodianship he has paraded it many times, notably at Montlhery and Dijon. It is fitted with TT crabs, BTH Magneto and semi race tyres. Some 20 years ago the vendor changed the original gearbox to the one on the bike now, and reports that it suits the bike for all of the circuits he has used it on, (this box was used by Norton from late 1934 onwards). It is only for sale due his advancing years and he believes bikes should be ridden

1923 Connaught, Barr & Stroud sleeve valve 350 cc. Registration number SV 5859 (non transferrable). Frame number 3551. Engine number (DVLA 347) 231572 (see text). First seen in 1912, Connaught motorcycles were built by the Bordesley Engineering Company of Birmingham, whose first offering was a 293cc two-stroke single. Like the four-strokes of the time, early two-stroke engines relied on hand-pumped lubrication, with oil being delivered from a separate compartment within the fuel tank. Connaught though, was among the first to use 'petroil' lubrication, whereby oil is mixed with the petrol, which would become the accepted method and remain so for several decades. However, a hand pump was retained, presumably to allay fears about possible unreliability. In 1922 the 348cc two-stroke model appeared, this had a three-speed Burman gearbox and all-chain drive. In 1924 the marque was bought by the J. E. S. Motor Company and production moved to Gloucestershire for a while, before going back to Birmingham. Connaught motorcycles were last produced in 1926. Little is known of SV 5859's early life, but it is listed in the VMCC register in 1991 with frame/engine 3551/347 and a registration number of CJ ????, a Gloucester number. Jeremy Burnett of Lightwater near Guildford was the owner in 1983 which presumably when it lost the CJ number and gained the reissued SV one. In 1996 it was purchased by our vendor and at some point the Barr & Stroud engine was fitted. An older restoration, it was last MOT'd in 2011 and taxed in 2013 so will need recommissioning for road use. Sold with the V5C and V5, please note the V5C has the engine capacity as 23572 cc, the engine number being 231572.

A G Plan Rexine wingback swivel and rocking armchair and stool, model 6250, 92 cm wide x 101 cm high. Created in 1962 at the G Plan factory in High Wycombe, the 6250 chair is attributed to legendary designer Paul Conti. The February 1963 catalogue enthuses "uncompromising dimensions and comfort, amply merit its description as the world's most comfortable chair." It was produced into the 1970s in Rexine - also known as leathercloth (as in this example) and other fabrics. Possibly one of the most famous pieces of furniture ever to be captured on celluloid, its iconic status was assured in 1967 appearing as supervillain Blofeld's chair in the Bond movie You Only Live Twice.
