Newton-Villiers motorcycles were produced by Newton Brothers of Levenshulme, Manchester, between 1920 and 1921.
The machine was a simple lightweight with single-speed belt drive, Brampton Biflex forks and the Mk IV 269cc Villiers two-stroke engine, with flywheel magneto.
The project was very short lived.
One of the cheapest machines on the market, the 2½ h.p. Newton-Villiers, which sells at well under £50.
The Low-priced Newton-Villiers.
One of the only lightweights proper that does not possess some form of gear changing mechanism, the Newton sells. at the remarkably low figure of £48. As the name implies, a Villiers flywheel magneto engine is fitted, and it may be stated that the other components are of the same high-class order. It is marketed by Newton Bros., Levenshulme, Manchester.
