Six: Captain A. Horne, 1st Battalion, Cameron Highlanders, who after being wounded was reportedly murdered by German troops at the battle for Troyon Ridge, during the battle of the Aisne, on 14 September 1914 - a battle in which the battalion sustained an horrendous number of casualties Queen’s Sudan 1896-98 (2/Lt. A. Horne. 1/Cam: Hrs:); Queen’s South Africa 1899-1902, 3 clasps, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal (Lieut. A. Horne. 1/Camn. Highrs.); 1914 Star, with clasp (Capt: A. Horne. Cam’n: Highrs); British War and Victory Medals (Capt. A. Horne.); Khedive’s Sudan 1896-1908, 2 clasps, The Atbara, Khartoum, unnamed as issued, generally very fine (6) £1,400-£1,800 --- Alexander Horne was born in Edinburgh on 30 September 1875, the fourth son of Thomas Elliot Ogilvie Horne, a writer to the Signet. The Society of Writers to Her Majesty’s Signet is a private society of Scottish solicitors, dating back to 1594 and part of the College of Justice. He was also first cousin to Major General H. S. Horne, Royal Horse Artillery, and of Lieutenant Colonel E. W. Horne, 3rd Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders. Educated at Saint Ninian’s Preparatory School at Moffat and then at Charterhouse School, he originally entered the British Army Militia before obtaining his commission as a Second Lieutenant with the Seaforth Highlanders in 1897, and being posted to the 1st Battalion. Horne saw service in Egypt and took part in the re-conquest of the Sudan, being present at the Battle of The Atbara on 9 April 1898, and then the Battle of Omdurman and the entry into Khartoum on 3 September 1898. With the capture of Khartoum, Horne was then sent to Fashoda with his company acting as escort to Lord Kitchener, the Commander-in-Chief in the Sudan. With the outbreak of the Boer War, Horne, by then promoted to Lieutenant, went on to see service in South Africa and was present on operations in the Cape Colony, the Orange River Colony and the Transvaal, as well as operating on the Zululand frontier of Natal. Horne was a keen huntsman with hounds, and in 1906 won the Irish Army Point-to-Point race for heavyweights and also ran third for lightweights. He was also a member of both the Automobile and Caledonian Clubs in London. Having been promoted to Captain, at the outbreak of the Great War, Horne, who was then Commander of ‘B’ Company, 1st Battalion, Cameron Highlanders, served with the B.E.F. on the Western Front from 14 August 1914. Taking part in the early actions of the War, including the retreat from Mons, Captain Horne was reportedly murdered by German troops after being wounded at Troyon Ridge, during the Battle of the Aisne. During the battle, in which the Cameron’s lost 600 Officers and men, Horne was shot through both legs and carried to a ditch slightly in the rear of the firing line. However, with the Regiment coming under ‘murderous shrapnel fire’, the battalion was forced to retreat, leaving Captain Horne under care of a sergeant and two Red Cross men. Exactly what happened next is unknown but reports from survivors of the battalion tell that the men with Horne made a Red Cross flag out of a handkerchief and Horne’s blood and hoisted it before the advancing Germans but on the Camerons advancing again to retake their old position, they found captain Horne with his head knocked in by rifle butts and shot with his own revolver. The story was reported in the newspapers thus: ‘“Murdered” by Germans. Fate of a Cameron Highlanders Captain. A prominent member of the County Hall who joined the fighting forces at the outbreak of the war writes home: “Poor Captain Horne of the Cameron Highlanders, whom I knew well, was practically murdered. He was shot in both legs and carried to a ditch slightly to the rear of the fighting line. The Regiment had then to retire and they left Horne with a sergeant. They made a red cross with a handkerchief with his own blood and hoisted it on a stick. They advanced again later and found Horne with his head knocked in by rifle butts and shot by his own revolver”.’ Captain Horne’s brother would write: ‘I think it right that the public and America should know how he came to die. I have now heard from his brother officer, Lord George Stuart-Murray, who was also wounded that day. That on September 14 Captain Horne was wounded on the leg in the firing line. As the line had to retire owing to the murderous shrapnel fire, he was left in charge of two red cross bearers and a sergeant. Later a part of the enemy came on them and shot Captain Horne and his bearers and took the sergeant prisoner. Comment is useless, it was simple murder and I am told that this custom accounts for most of the missing wounded. I hope we can make something of this and let the World know.’ The Battalion War Diary for the period states: ‘On 14 September the Battalion marched off from north of Paissy at 5:45, and moved due west of Vendresse to take their position on the line. With them moved the 1st Coldstream Guards, 1st Black Watch, 1st Scots Guards. En route, the Battalion came under long range rifle fire. The diary says that A Coy were deployed on a line across the Troyon, with B coy on their left. It was added that an attack by the Germans from the left flank across the wooded valley, and a portion of B Coy was put in the rear to guard the left flank. A Coy followed by D advanced on a factory to the north of Troyon. But, before they reached it, they came under very heavy fire from shrapnel and high explosive shells. The Germans were now sighted on the ridge due north of Chivy.’ The diary goes on to add that there was a certain amount of confusion caused by a party of German prisoners being escorted through the wood on the immediate left. The battle originally began at 7am. At about 7:20am, the German attack from the Camerons left front about Le Blanc Mont began to develop seriously. B Company was ordered to advance. The whole front was heavily attacked. A company of Black Watch came up to the Camerons left. At 8:50am, a portion of the right gave ground and took cover under the road bank at Chivy-Chemin wood. The majority of the Camerons retained their positions in good order from the factory. Battalions were reorganised in units in the Chivy-Chemin wood and taken forward onto the crest just north east of that point of the wood when a heavy fire was opened on the Germans north of Le Blanc Mont, apparently with considerable success. A certain number of casualties were caused by the Battalion rifle fire from the rear, though every effort was made to stop it. About 10 minutes later the Germans then attacked with ‘renewed vigour and in greatly superior numbers all along the front’. The Machine Gun Section came into action due north of the point of the wood. All units were mixed here and the fire was very heavy from rifle, machine guns, shrapnel and high explosive shells. It was added that there were ‘a great many casualties’. Ominously the diary further states that C Company on the left had 13 men killed altogether. This was due to the fact that a body of Germans advanced waving their rifles above their heads and apparently wishing to surrender. On the platoon going forward they were ‘decimated by the fire of another German line behind, and the line apparently wishing to surrender lay down and probably fired also’. At about 11:30 the right flank got badly hit from the direction of Troyon. A Company and part of D ran out of ammunition and they moved back into the wood which was being heavily shelled. By this stage, the Brigade fell back and the Battalion got considerably split up, but order was maintained as far as possible. There were further casualties from shell fire, and by the e...

c.1938 Wanderer 97ccFrame no. 77957Engine no. 526123For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams websiteOldest of the four companies that merged in 1932 to form the 'Auto Union' (the others being Audi, DKW and Horch) Wanderer was an established motorcycle manufacturer when it built its first automobile in 1911. 'Wanderer' was the brand name of Winkelhofer & Jaenicke, a bicycle-making firm founded in Chemnitz, Saxony around 1885 and, like those of many of its contemporaries, its first motorised two-wheeler of 1902 was merely a power-assisted cycle. By 1913 the range had expanded considerably and was topped by a 408cc v-twin. Distinguished by their wedge-shaped fuel tanks, these early Wanderer twins were of an advanced specification for their day, boasting bottom-link forks, sprung frames, two-speed hub gears, automatic lubrication and an internal expanding rear drum brake. A 184cc four-stroke lightweight was added to the range after The Great War. This boasted overhead valves and unitary construction of the horizontal engine/gearbox, and Wanderer continued to build a range of similarly advanced designs until the end of the 1920s when motorcycle production ceased, although a range of ultra-lightweights was produced during the 1930s.Believed in original condition, this lovely example of the latter has two-speed transmission and pedals for starting. Notable features include a Hackel horn and 'IT 185651' numberplate. The machine is offered with original Sachs engine instruction manuals and parts list; a selection of photographs; magazine articles (in German); and its original registration booklet.Très probablement dans son état d'origine, ce bel exemplaire de machine légère possède une transmission à deux rapports et un pédalier pour le démarrage. Les détails d'équipement intéressants sont un avertisseur Hackel et une plaque d'immatriculation « IT 185651 ». La machine est offerte avec les manuels d'utilisation Sachs et la liste des pièces de rechange d'origine, une sélection de photos, des articles de magazine (en allemand) et son carnet d'immatriculation d'origine.It should be noted that these vehicles have either been on display in the museum or kept in store since Peter and Ulrike passed away.

However, Wanderer's v-twin was prone to overheating, leading them to introduce a 708cc version with two valves per cylinder (some sources state that the first (eight-valve) version was 708cc and the later four-valve version 748cc). Both of these hand-built models were expensive to produce; all the more so because Wanderer used their own threads for the fastenings. Survivors are both rare and highly desirable today. An older restoration, this sporting Wanderer v-twin comes fully equipped with a Jaeger 120km/h speedometer, Bosch headlamp and horn, and a sprung pillion seat. There are no documents with this Lot.• Rare V-twin sportive• Ancienne restauration• Compteur Jaeger, phare et avertisseur BoschAutre nouveauté pour 1927, le V-twin est doté de quatre soupapes par cylindre, une solution visiblement inspirée par le monocylindre Triumph Ricardo. Mais le V-twin de Wanderer étant sujet à la surchauffe, la marque introduit une version de 708 cm3 à deux soupapes par cylindre (certaines sources indiquent que la première version à huit soupapes était le 708 cm3 et la dernière à quatre soupapes le 748 cm3). Ces deux modèles fabriqués manuellement étaient coûteux à produire d'autant plus que Wanderer utilisait ses propres filetages pour ses assemblages. Les modèles survivants sont donc aussi rares que recherchés.Ancienne restauration, cette Wanderer sport Modèle H V-twin affiche un équipement complet avec un compteur de vitesse Jaeger 120 km/h, un phare et un avertisseur Bosch et une selle passager suspendue.

1919 Wanderer 325cc 2½hpFrame no. 51282Engine no. 30741For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Technologically advanced design for its day•An older restoration•Original spare parts listOldest of the four companies that merged in 1932 to form the 'Auto Union' (the others being Audi, DKW and Horch) Wanderer was an established motorcycle manufacturer when it built its first automobile in 1911. 'Wanderer' was the brand name of Winkelhofer & Jaenicke, a bicycle-making firm founded in Chemnitz, Saxony around 1885 and, like those of many of its contemporaries, its first motorised two-wheeler of 1902 was merely a power-assisted cycle. By 1913 the range had expanded considerably and was topped by a 408cc v-twin. Distinguished by their wedge-shaped fuel tanks, these early Wanderer twins were of an advanced specification for their day, boasting bottom-link forks, sprung frames, two-speed hub gears, automatic lubrication and an internal expanding rear drum brake. A 184cc four-stroke lightweight was added to the range after The Great War. This boasted overhead valves and unitary construction of the horizontal engine/gearbox, and Wanderer continued to build a range of similarly advanced designs until the end of the 1920s when motorcycle production ceased, although a range of ultra-lightweights was produced during the 1930s.An older restoration, this single-cylinder Wanderer photographs of it in newly restored condition. Other documentation on file includes correspondence (in German); a magazine article (in German); an original parts list; photocopied technical information; and an old German Fahrzeugbrief (issued 1985).• Technique d'avant-garde en son temps• Ancienne restauration• Liste des pièces de rechange d'origineAncienne restauration, cette monocylindre Wanderer s'accompagne dephotos de cette machine récemment restaurée.

c.1903 Humber 2¾hp Olympia Tandem ForecarFrame no. None Visible (see text)Engine no. 1897 (see text)For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Acquired in 1998•London-Brighton Run participant•Eligible for the Pioneer Run and Banbury Run•VCC Certificate of DateWith a background in bicycle manufacture, Humber began motor vehicle production as early as 1896, displaying motorcycles at 'The International Horseless Carriage Exhibition' that year. The production of Humber vehicles was carried on at both Beeston, Nottingham and at Coventry, there being some considerable rivalry between the two factories, the Beeston works being reserved generally for production of the more expensive models.The Humber Olympia motor tandem is an ideal vehicle for two riders. All control is in the hands of the rear rider while the passenger is in the front, out of reach of dust and the exhaust gases, and conversation is easy. The front seat is most comfortably hung on springs and is excellently upholstered, luxurious to even the most delicate. The steering is unaffected by the absence or the presence of a passenger, and is easier than that of an ordinary tricycle. Thus did Humber describe their 1903 offering. The air-cooled engine was built under Phelon & Moore licence, featuring an automatic inlet valve and a bore and stroke of 80x77mm, giving a capacity of 403cc.One of the earliest surviving Humbers, this tandem forecar was purchased at Brooks' Olympia auction in December 1998 (Lot 686). The vehicle was described as follows: 'Restored in 1989, this machine has regularly completed the Brighton Run and in 1995 was ridden from Paris to Bordeaux commemorating the Centenary of that early motor race and proving the reliability of this early machine.' The Humber had also successfully completed the 1998 London-Brighton Run. The machine is VCC dated as 1903 and is also eligible for the Sunbeam MCC's Pioneer Run from Epsom to Brighton, as well as the VMCC's Banbury Run. Notable features include Lucas lamps, a Desmo horn, and RAC London to Brighton plaques from 1993 and 1994. Accompanying paperwork includes photocopied technical literature, a selection of photographs, VCC Certificate of Date, some expired MoTs, and an old UK V5 registration document (registration 'DS 7442'). It should be noted that the dating certificate lists the frame number as '134871', as does the V5, while the somewhat indistinct engine number appears to be '1897' ('1297' on the aforementioned documents).• Acquise en 1998• Participant au Londres-Brighton• Éligible aussi aux Pioneer et au Banbury Runs• Certificat de datation du VCCUn des plus anciens modèles Humber survivants, cet avant-train en tandem a été acquis à la vente Brooks à l'Olympia en décembre 1998 (Lot 686). Le véhicule était décrit ainsi: « Restaurée en 1989, ce véhicule a régulièrement effectué le Brighton Run et il a accompli en 1995 le parcours de Paris à Bordeaux commémorant le centenaire de la première grande course automobile de l'histoire, démontrant la fiabilité de cette très ancienne machine ». Le Humber a également participé au London-Brighton Run 1998. La machine datée de 1903 par le VCC est aussi éligible au Sunbeam MCC's Pioneer Run d'Epsom à Brighton ainsi qu'au Banbury Run du VMCC.

A highly respected firm in its native Germany, Adler was already manufacturing automobile components, supplying both Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, when it introduced its first car - a Renault-influenced, De Dion-powered voiturette - in 1900. Shaft drive was an advanced feature, which would be used on all subsequent Adler motor cars, while tiller gave way to wheel steering in 1901. The following year the company began making its own single- and twin-cylinder engines, though by 1910 the range was powered exclusively by fours. By this time designer Edmund Rumpler had departed, but not before he had bequeathed Adler the first German car to feature and in-unit engine and gearbox. Some of Adler's fours were huge - as big as 7.4 litres - one of which was purchased by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Sixes and a straight eight were added to the range in the 1920s and then in 1932 the firm introduced the revolutionary front-wheel drive Trumpf for which it is best remembered. Built from 1910 to 1912, the Type K 7/17 PS model was powered by a 1,788cc inline four endowing it with a top speed of around 60km/h.Purchased privately by Peter Bühner in September 2002, this imposing Adler was in the possession of the previous owner in Frankfurt from 1986. Prior to that the car was the property of Otto Kleyer, a son of Adlerwerke's founder, Heinrich Kleyer. Beautifully finished in dark blue with black mudguards, black leather interior and tan soft-top, the car is offered with assorted correspondence; an original sales brochure from 1910; copy documentation; the German registration document; and an old Fahrzeugpass from the Allgemeiner Schnauferl-Club e.V.Adler Type K 7/17 PS Phaeton - 1911Châssis n° 3653BMoteur n° 3532•Autrefois propriété d'un fils du fondateur d'Adler•Propriété de son précédent détenteur depuis 1986•Achetée en vente privée en 2002Adler, la firme francfortoise de Heinrich Kleyer, a démarré au XIXème siècle comme importatrice et fabricante de bicyclettes, avant de se tourner vers la production de motos, de voitures et de machines à écrire, auxquelles son nom est de nos jours le plus souvent associé. Très respectée dans l'Allemagne qui l'avait vu naître, Adler fabriquait déjà des composants automobiles et fournissait Carl Benz et Gottlieb Daimler lorsqu'elle lança en 1900 sa première voiture, une voiturette inspirée des Renault et équipée d'un moteur De Dion. Elle était assez évoluée, avec sa transmission par arbre qu'on allait retrouver sur les Adler suivantes et, en 1911, son volant de direction en remplacement du levier.L'année suivante, la firme se mit à produire ses propres mono- et bicylindres et, à partir de 1910, uniquement des quatre-cylindres. L'ingénieur Edmund Rumpler, qui quitta par la suite l'entreprise, lui avait créé la première voiture allemande équipée d'un moteur à boîte de vitesses intégrée. Certains de ses quatre-cylindres étaient énormes, jusqu'à 7,4 litres, comme celui qui équipait une voiture achetée par le Kaiser Wilhelm II. Puis la gamme s'enrichit dans les années 1920 de six- et de huit-cylindres en ligne et, en 1932, la marque lança la révolutionnaire Trumpf à traction avant, pour laquelle elle est s...

1911 Brennabor Type B 5/12 PS Roadster Chassis no. 1905 Engine no. 1905For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Successful German light car•One of the collection's favourites•Used frequently for runs and rallies•VCC dated as 1911Like many of its contemporaries, Brennabor started out as a manufacturer of bicycles and motorcycles before turning to automobile production in 1908. Its first automobile was the Brennaborette three-wheeler, which was followed in 1909 by a twin-cylinder Fafnir-engined light car. A wide variety of models was offered up to 1914 before the German firm switched to a one-model policy after the end of hostilities. In the late 1920s other types became available, the most successful of which was the 1.6-litre Type R, some 20,000 being made. Indeed, in its 1920s heyday Brennabor ranked second only to Opel as Germany's largest car producer. Production of motor vehicles ceased in 1933, though that of bicycles and prams continued. During WW2 Brennabor's factory was turned over to armaments production; it was destroyed in an air raid towards the end of the war and the occupying Russians dismantled what was left. Offered here is an example of the Type B 5/12 PS, which was manufactured between 1911 and 1913; it was powered by a 1,328cc four-cylinder engine and had a top speed of around 55km/h. This Brennabor is one of the favourite and most used cars in the collection. Remarkably, the car had resided in the UK for quite some time, as the old -style buff logbook (issued in 1963) bears witness. It is also noted on the logbook that the car was first registered (presumably in the UK) on 6th January 1921, this being shortly after the introduction of the Roads Act of 1920, which required local councils to register all vehicles at the time of licensing and to allocate a separate number to each. (Many vehicles, although in existence for several years in some cases, were only registered for the first time after the Act's passing). The accompanying Veteran Car Club of Great Britain dating certificate was issued in 1950! The previous UK registration was 'DY 398'.Bought at auction by the family, the car presents very well in dark green with black wings, red wheels and red buttoned upholstery, while the attractive sidelights are wired for electricity. Among other activities, Peter and Ulrike Bühner used the car on the 2010 ADAC Deutschland Klassik, the 30th Internationales Oldtimer Treffen in Unna, Germany as well as other local rallies. The car is offered with the aforementioned buff logbook; VCC dating certificate; a later UK V5 registration document; an original sales brochure; three events programmes; and some magazine articles, one of which features this actual car.Roadster Brennabor Type B 5/12 PS - 1911Châssis n° 1905Moteur n° 1905•Voiture allemande légère et appréciée•L'une des favorites de la collection•Souvent utilisée pour des sorties et des rallyes•Datée de 1911 par le VCCComme nombre de ses contemporains, Brennabor fit ses débuts comme fabricant de bicyclettes et de motos avant de se tourner en 1908 vers l'automobile. Sa première voiture fut la Brennaborette à trois roues, qui fut suivie en 1909 d'une voiture légère à bicylindre Fafnir. Cette firme allemande proposait jusqu'en 1914 une large gamme de modèles, avant de se convertir au mono-modélisme une fois le conflit terminé. Puis à la fin des années 1920, on vit réapparaître différents modèles, dont la Type R de 1,6 litre qui est celle qui connut le plus fort succès, avec quelque vingt mille unités produites. De fait, à son apogée dans les années 1920, Brennabor était le deuxième constructeur allemand, derrière Opel. Sa production d'automobiles prit fin en 1933, mais celle des bicyclettes et des lan...

The 2/10 PS was powered by a rear-mounted 499cc 10hp single-cylinder water-cooled engine, which drove the rear axle by a chain (there was no differential). Keeping weight to a minimum was a design priority, and the first (open) version weighed only 370kg. A closed version followed later. Top speed was around 60km/h. Named 'Zweisitzer Limousine' (two-seat limousine) by the company, the Hanomag 'Kommissbrot' is historically significant as the first German car to be manufactured on a moving assembly line, as pioneered by Ford; in 1927 and 1928 Hanomag were building 80 cars per day. Production ceased after three years when 15,775 had been made, very few of which survive. Despite being the best selling car in Germany at the time, the 'Kommissbrot' did not make any money for Hanomag, which turned to more conventional cars that would help it into financial stability. This charming Hanomag 'Kommissbrot' was one of Peter Bühner's last projects and has not been completed. This is potentially most rewarding project, but interest parties should satisfy themselves with regard to its completeness or otherwise prior to bidding. The car is offered with a cancelled German Kraffahrzeugbrief dating from 1966, an original owner's manual (German language), and numerous magazine articles relating to the model. A very modern looking car for its age, '6307' is one of the very rare surviving 2/10 PS models and is worthy of a place in any important collection.Hanomag 2/10 PS berline Kleinauto 'Kommissbrot' (projet) - 1926Châssis n° 6307•L'une des petites voitures allemandes les plus couronnées de succès en son temps•L'un des derniers projets de Peter Bühner•Proposée pour être restaurée•Une survivante rareLa Hannoversche Maschinenfabrik AG (Hanomag) fut fondée en 1846 pour construire des locomotives à vapeur, puis elle se développa en construisant des véhicules utilitaires, des voitures, des tracteurs, etc. La première automobile de Hanomag fut lancée en 1925 ; c'était la deux-places 2/10 PS dite Kommissbrot, littéralement 'pain de l'armée', à cause de son allure qui faisait penser à une miche de pain de l'armée. Elle était équipée d'un monocylindre de 499 cm3 de 10 ch refroidi par eau et monté à l'arrière, qui entraînait l'essieu arrière par une chaîne, sans différentiel. La priorité avait été donnée à la légèreté et sa première version (découverte) ne pesait que 370 kg. Elle fut suivie d'une version fermée. Leur vitesse maximale était d'environ 60 km/h.Cette Hanomag Kommissbrot, que son constructeur désignait par Zweisitzer Limousine, ou limousine biplace, présente la particularité d'être la première voiture allemande à avoir été montée sur une ligne d'assemblage en mouvement, selon l'exemple donné par Ford. En 1927 et 1928, Hanomag produisait quatre-vingts voitures par jour. Sa fabrication cessa au bout de 15 775 exemplaires, dont très rares sont ceux qui ont survécu.

Dürkopp's origins date back to 1867 when Nikolaus Dürkopp started his sewing machine business in the German city of Bielefeld, a centre for bicycle manufacture. Dürkopp owned another plant in Graz, Austria, and in the 1880s both factories began producing bicycles to meet the Europe-wide boom in this form of transportation. The firm's first automobile followed in 1898. Constructed along Panhard lines, these first Dürkopps featured front-mounted vertical twin-cylinder engines, final drive by chains, and wheels of unequal size. A much smaller car with a rear-mounted engine was on offer in 1899, featuring tandem seating and wire wheels. Motorcycle production commenced around 1901. Dürkopp's range expanded and by 1903 consisted of some five models ranging from an 8PS twin to a 40PS four, while a six-cylinder car was shown for the first time that year. In Britain the importer F Watson marketed Dürkopps under the 'Watsonia' brand name. By 1914 Dürkopp had produced a succession of large-capacity fours, the ultimate being the 13-litre Type DG of 1912, but these sold in limited numbers, prompting the introduction of new smaller models known as the 'Knipperdolling' range. After WWI, the firm concentrated mainly on medium-size cars of around 2 litres, plus a small number of larger types. Production of cars ceased in 1927 but commercial chassis continued to be available for a few more years. Production of motorcycles had ceased in 1914 and would not resume until 1949, Dürkopp's most famous product of the post-war period being the immensely successful Diana scooter. This rare early Dürkopp automobile has been part of the Bühner Collection since 2002, having previously formed part of a private collection in its native Bielefeld, where it was also on loan for a period of time to the local history Museum. It is believed that before then the car had survived many years of barn storage, and numerous photographs attest to its remarkably original condition prior to its sympathetic restoration. The car even comes with a copy of its original Bielefeld registration from 1902, with the number 'X530'.While in the custody of Peter and Ulrike Bühner the car participated successfully in many events, among them the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run in 2004, 2007 and 2008 (programmes on file). It is believed that only one other Dürkopp from 1901 survives.Dürkopp Motorwagen 7hp Tonneau à entrée par l'arrière - 1901Châssis n° 117•Rare survivante des débuts d'une marque qui dura assez peu•Une des supposées deux survivantes depuis 1901•Autrefois membre d'une collection privée dans sa ville natale de Bielefeld•Membre de la Collection Bühner depuis 2002•Participante du London-Brighton Veteran Car RunLa société Dürkopp, aujourd'hui Dürkopp-Adler, fabrique des machines à coudre, essentiellement pour l'industrie.

The firm was so called because it was initially run by the Rochets, father and son, together with Théophile Schneider, a member of the eponymous armaments manufacturing family. Originally bicycle manufacturers, Société Anonyme des Établissements Rochet-Schneider built its first automobile in 1894 and in 1901 at the Paris Salon exhibited two cars of Panhard configuration. However, by this time the most advanced type of car was the German Mercedes, so for 1903 the Lyonnaise cars were redesigned along Mercedes lines. From the introduction of that year's 20/22hp model, Rochet-Schneider's reputation as the builder of strong, fast cars grew rapidly. The issue of The Autocar for 11th April 1903 reported that Rochet-Schneiders had finished first and second at Nice, 'over some of the most difficult roads it was possible to select...' and then won an ACF 100-miles non-stop certificate. Despite having risen to become one of the most respected motor manufacturers in France, the company was sold in 1904 and 'Rochet-Schneider Ltd' set up in London. This successor company would ultimately prove a failure and in 1907 went into liquidation. At this point Théophile Schneider returned to reclaim the company bearing his name, setting up a subsidiary, 'Carburateurs Zenith', soon afterwards. Under Schneider's direction the firm returned to producing high quality cars and commercial vehicles, concentrating exclusively on the latter from 1932. In 1951 Rochet-Schneider was bought by erstwhile rivals Berliet. This most impressive Rochet-Schneider Type 11000 is powered by a 2.6-litre four-cylinder sidevalve engine driving via a three-speed gearbox. The car was purchased by the Bühners at the Rétromobile sale in 2007, having resided prior to that in Switzerland. According to the catalogue description, the car had been first registered on 2nd August 1914 and was imported into Switzerland in 1963 by a certain Ernst Schmid, a motoring historian. At that time the car was in rolling chassis form as it had been converted into a pickup truck in the 1950s. The Rochet had been treated to a comprehensive restoration while in the hands of the previous owner, which included sourcing a period-correct landaulet body from the UK. Amazingly, the body fitted the chassis without needing any alterations. A photographic record of the restoration is on file and the car still presents very well with only some minor signs of ageing. The interior is beautifully appointed and features many charming details such as a speaking tube, button-backed cord upholstery, armrest cushions, and a vanity unit with clock, while the driving compartment is trimmed in black leather. The car is offered with a dating certificate from the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain; the aforementioned restoration photographs; the older catalogue description; customs documents; assorted literature; and a Récépissé de Declaration de Mise en Circulation de Véhicule a Moteur.Rochet-Schneider Série 11000 Landaulet découvert de 15 ch - 1914Châssis n° 11936•Voiture de qualité fabriquée par une marque française de premier plan•Autrefois restaurée (photos disponibles)•Intérieur magnifiquement aménagé•Achetée par les Bühner en 2007Rochet-Schneider, installé Chemin-Feuillat à Lyon, était l'une des grandes marques françaises de la Belle époque.

1903 Haynes-Apperson 7½hp Twin-cylinder Runabout Chassis no. 792For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Rare early survivor of a once prominent American make•Formerly part of the Imperial Palace Hotel Collection in Las Vegas, Nevada•Acquired for the Bühner Collection in 2001•Past participant in the London-Brighton Veteran Car RunThe Haynes-Apperson marque originated in 1893 when Elwood P Haynes, a senior employee of the Indiana Natural Gas and Oil Company, visited the Riverside Machine Works in Kokomo, Indiana to ask its proprietors, the Apperson brothers, for assistance in building an automobile. Haynes would later (falsely) claim that his was America's first automobile. For the next few years Messrs Haynes and Apperson continued with their existing employment, and it was not until 1898 that the Haynes-Apperson Automobile Company was formed. Automobiles of 7/8hp with a choice of two, four or six seats were soon leaving the Riverside Machine Works. Demand was strong right from the outset and the factory was soon running 24 hours a day. Haynes-Apperson cars were soon setting new long-distance records, their achievements somewhat embellished by Haynes. According to the Standard Catalog of American Cars: 'There was no doubt, however, that the Haynes-Apperson was a fine automobile; it won a blue ribbon in the Long Island Endurance Run and two first prizes in the New York-Rochester Endurance Contest in 1901.' Haynes and the Appersons parted company that year, the latter to build their own Apperson automobile while Haynes continued with Haynes-Apperson before dropping the name of his erstwhile collaborators in 1905. Haynes cars grew in size and complexity - the company introduced a 6.0-litre V12 in 1916 - but so did the firm's financial difficulties, and in September 1924 its creditors fled for bankruptcy. It was a sad end to a marque that had consistently built cars of quality. This rare early Haynes-Apperson was formerly in the renowned collection belonging to the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it was purchased in 1981 from one John L Skaff. According to copy correspondence on file, Ralph Englestad, the then owner of the Imperial Palace, used the car to participate in the London-Brighton run in 1982 or 1983. The car features a 3,120cc twin-cylinder engine producing some 7½ horsepower, which drives via a four-speed gearbox. Top speed is around 50km/h. The Bühners have owned the Haynes-Apperson since circa 2001 and participated with it in the Ibbenbürener Schnauferl-Treffen in 2001 and the London-Brighton Veteran Car Run in 2002 (programmes on file). The car is offered with an old Nevada Certificate of Title, a quantity of correspondence, and Dutch registration documents.Haynes-Apperson Runabout 7½ ch bicylindre - 1903Châssis n° 792•Rare survivante d'une de premières voitures d'un ancien important constructeur américain•Autrefois membre de la Collection de l'Imperial Palace Hotel de Las Vegas (Nevada)•Acquise pour la Collection Bühner en 2001•Ancienne participante du London-Brighton Veteran Car RunLa marque Haynes-Apperson a pris naissance en 1893 lorsque Elwood P.
