Is there another crossing clue for 25a, phebe?

[phebe1]

with the previous help now have ?a?d???t?n taking it that the other answers I have are correct. If 14d is 'two hundred' then it could be ?a?d?n?t?n. 14d is two words ?w?h?????d the clue to this 'is an event that occured years ago. this is an extremely cryptic crossword as a rule I get there but really am stuck this time

[scorpiojo]

Pad (residence) din (noise) GT (sports car) on (acceptable)

Are there some themed answers in the Xword?. Jo's parsing is excellent but can't see the definition - or am I missing something?
