445 Newton Ceirano (racing car (1923) YM 21 by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Newton Ceirano (racing car (1923) Engine 1095cc Registration Number YM 21 (London) Newton & Bennett’s connections with the Italian motor industry went back to the Edwardian era when the firm held the UK agency for SCAT cars of Turin. Offering good performance and quality engineering, their success led Newton in 1913 to promote the NB 12hp car, designed by him and made in the Turin factory he owned; the NB chassis were bodied here. Fine cars of good, conventional design and stylish appearance, the outbreak of the Great War introduced production difficulties that were to terminate matters. Newton’s Turin factory was sold to Diatto in 1915. In the early 1920s, Newton & Bennett acquired the UK agency for the sporting Ceirano cars of Turin, John Newton's son Noel was sent to Turin to investigate the possibilities of importing a car that could compete with the newly launched Austin Seven. While there he met Olivio Pellegatti, a young consulting engineer, and between them they conceived an 1100cc racing car.In the event, three racing cars were built by Pellegatti in the absence of any significant involvement with the Ceirano works, plus another chassis or two, and Noel Newton and Pellegatti were entrants in the 200 Miles Race at Brooklands in 1923. The cars however suffered from a lack of development and were withdrawn after practice. The two caes subsequently passed through several hands in England making occasional appearances at race meetings. One along with a bare chassis appeared on the Newton and Bennet stand at the Olympia Motor Show. After that racing was largely abandoned though one of the cars survived thank to long term ownership, having been both raced and used on the road until the early 1930s. It then went into storage until the 1963, when it was re-interned unmolested and restored. Enhancing the vintage racing scene ever since. Techically it has a 4-cylinder fixed-head engine had twin overhead camshafts and dry sump lubrication, and the built-up crankshaft and camshaft each ran in three ball races, now changed to white metal. Lightweight tubular connecting rods were fitted, again replaced with a safer design. Ignition always was by coil, and alternative inlet manifolds offer single- or twin-carburettor options. Many of the engine castings are in magnesium, and emanated from the foundry at the Isotta-Fraschini works. There is a cone clutch and the gearbox with central change is in unit with the engine. The rest of the chassis is conventional for a racing car of its day, with chain-compensated four wheel braking, push-rods through the king pins activating the front brakes Diolch am 96,729,914 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr.
