1953 DKW RT250HFrame no. 48547304Engine no. 48028620For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams websiteAfter the rigid-frame (and destined to be short lived) RT 250 had been displayed at the 1951 Frankfurt Show, production proper commenced with the plunger-suspended RT 250 H. The latter's rear suspension was better than many such designs, incorporating a strong 'compression' coil spring and a weaker 'rebound' spring, while rubber bump stops limited the maximum travel to approximately 40mm up/down. The telescopic front fork was unchanged from that of the RT 200. The RT 250's engine was essentially that of the RT 200, with the bore enlarged to 70mm from 62mm, while the gearbox was a three-speed unit. Other notable features included an enclosed rear drive chain and an aluminium shield surrounding the rear brake drum and sprocket. This DKW RT 250 H displays a total of 12,904 kilometres on the odometer and is believed to retain its original paintwork. Accompanying documentation includes a German Fahrzeugbrief (issued 1981) and an original operating instructions book, service booklet, and workshop manuals (x2).Cette DKW RT 250 H qui affiche au compteur 12 904 km serait encore dans sa peinture d'origine.

1951 BMW 494cc R51/3Frame no. 526551Engine no. 526551For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams websiteBMW recommenced motorcycle production in December 1948 with the R24 single but it would be another 12 months before a twin-cylinder model became available again. This was the R51/2 based, as its designation suggests, on the pre-war R51. Improvements incorporated into the R51/2 included a two-way damped front fork, gearbox main-shaft damper and strengthened frame. In truth, the R51/2 was only a stopgap model to get production under way while BMW worked on something more modern. Its replacement, the R51/3, arrived in February 1951 and despite the similarity in designation had an entirely new and much neater looking engine incorporating a single, gear-driven camshaft and crankshaft-mounted generator among a host of other advances. Boasting paintwork that appears largely original and possibly un-restored, this R51/3 comes with its original German Kraftfahrzeugbrief listing Dr Peter Bühner as third owner from 22nd April 1982. The history folder also contains magazine articles, various instruction manuals and other original factory literature (in German). Offered with keys.Bénéficiant d'une peinture qui semble être en grande partie d'origine et probablement jamais restaurée, cette R51/3 assemblée le 28 novembre 1951 a été livrée à l'agent BMW Timmermann à Isarlohn en Allemagne le 11 décembre suivant. La machine est accompagnée de son Fahrzeugbrief alllemand d'origine qui mentionne le Dr Peter Bühner comme troisième propriétaire à compter du 22 avril 1982.

1953 Vincent 998cc Series-C RapideFrame no. RC9788/C Rear frame no. RC9788/CEngine no. F10AB/1/7888 Crankcase mating no. VV75For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Delivered new to Germany•Matching numbers•Optional left-side kickstart leverThe outbreak of WW2 in 1939 brought production of all Series A models to a halt, and when Vincent resumed production at the war's end it was with the all-new Series B. Its rear suspension aside, the Series A Vincent-HRD had been conventional enough: tubular steel frame, girder forks, separate gearbox, etc but with the Series B Messrs Vincent and Irving effectively established the marque's reputation for the defiance of convention in the pursuit of engineering excellence. For a start there was no 'frame' as such, merely a fabricated box attached to the cylinder heads, that served as the oil tank and incorporated the headstock and the attachment point for the rear springs. The gearbox was integral with the engine, and the swinging arm pivoted directly in the engine/gearbox casings, features commonplace today but unusual 60 years ago. Only in his retention of the pre-war Brampton girder fork did Phillip Vincent appear to be lagging behind other manufacturers, almost all of which had switched to telescopics, but this apparent shortcoming would soon be addressed by the introduction of the famous 'Girdraulic' fork on the Series C.Introduced in 1946, the Vincent-HRD Rapide Series B was immediately the fastest production motorcycle on sale anywhere, with a top speed of 110mph. The basic design clearly had even greater potential though, which would be realised later in the form of the Black Shadow and Black Lightning models. In 1948 the Vincent range began to be up-dated to Series C specification but it would be 1950 before all Vincents left the factory in this form. An older restoration, this matching-numbers Vincent Rapide was registered new in Germany and comes with its original German registration document (issued 1953). The machine was despatched from the Vincent factory in December 1951 to a dealership called RM Overseas in Düsseldorf, Germany. Interestingly, this Rapide has the optional left-hand side kickstart lever, which indicates it may have been fitted with a sidecar in the past (for Germany that would mean on the right side, so the standard kickstart could not be used). The factory records make no mention of sidecar fittings or a left-side kickstart, so it is probably an owner's modification. The Rapide left the factory with a 46-tooth rear sprocket, which was standard solo gearing. Accompanying documentation includes correspondence; magazine articles (in German); a BMS workshop manual; an original workshop manual; and a Harper Engines spare parts list.• Livrée neuve en Allemagne• Numéros concordants• Kick starter côté gauche optionnelAncienne restauration, cette Vincent Rapide à numéros concordants immatriculée neuve en Allemagne s'accompagne de son document d'immatriculation allemand (émis en 1953). La machine a été expédiée par l'usine Vincent en décembre 1951 à un revendeur du nom de RM Overseas à Düsseldorf en Allemagne. Détail intéressant, cette Rapide est équipée d'un kick starter côté gauche qui peut suggérer qu'elle a pu être attelée autrefois d'un side-car (c'est-à-dire à droite pour l'Allemagne, ce qui ne permettait pas le montage du kick standard). Les archives de l'usine ne mentionnant pas l'installation d'attaches de side-car, ni d'un kick à gauche, il s'agit probablement d'une modification due au propriétaire. La Rapide est sortie d'usine équipée d'un pignon arrière de 46 dents, normal pour une moto solo.

Ideal for BMW's 100th Anniversary celebrations in 2023 1924 BMW 493cc R32Frame no. 2555Engine no. 32588For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•The first BMW motorcycle•One of 3,090 built•Original supplier's plateFollowing the collapse of its aero engine business after WWI, BMW turned to other areas of manufacture, motorcycles among them. BMW's first model, a two-stroke ultra-lightweight marketed as the Flink, was a failure but its next venture was more successful. BMW's General Director Franz Josef Popp had asked designer Martin Stolle to come up with a proprietary power unit and the result was the M2B15, a engine that would be supplied to other manufacturers, such as Victoria, as well as being used to power the BMW-made Helios. Victoria having switched to another supplier, BMW's Chief Designer Max Friz set about producing a motorcycle superior to the Helios and one that would be worthy of carrying the BMW name. Warming to the task of designing motorcycles, a mode of transport he hitherto had despised, Friz and his colleagues Rudolf Schleicher and Franz Bieber drew up the R32, the first really outstanding motorcycle design to emerge after WWI. Launched at the Paris Show in 1923 and the first motorcycle to be sold as a BMW, the R32 featured a 494cc, twin-cylinder, sidevalve engine having horizontally opposed cylinders, and this 'flat twin' layout would forever be associated with the marque. As used in the Helios and supplied to other manufacturers, BMW's M2B15 engine was a 'flat twin' also but one designed for installation fore-and-aft, a layout that made for a lengthy wheelbase and restricted the flow of cooling air to the rear cylinder. Turning the engine across the frame, as seen in the Granville Bradshaw-designed ABC, seemed like a much better arrangement. With the crankshaft now inline, the adoption of an integral gearbox and shaft drive was the logical choice. This new power unit went into a duplex loop frame equipped with leaf-sprung front fork. Weighing 270lb (123kg), the R32 had all of 8.5bhp on tap, which nevertheless was good for a top speed of around 60mph (97km/h).Setting a pattern that endures to this day, BMW's first motorcycle was relatively expensive but superbly engineered and constructed, while the quality of finish was of the highest order. It was an immediate success - some 1,500 leaving the Munich factory in 1924 - and the R32 would continue in production, updated with an internally expanding front brake, until 1926, by which time 3,090 had been built. An older restoration, this R32 was despatched new to Motorradsporthaus Augsburg (proprietor Josef Hauser), who sold it to one Wolfgang Stettner on 29th December 1924. It seems that Stettner was also a motorcycle dealer, but not an official BMW one. The machine comes with a history folder that contains magazine articles (in German); a selection of photographs (one in period); a reproduction parts list; and a BMW Club membership card issued in 1925. Notable features include a German registration plate ('Sb-9313', not necessarily its original); a Glashütten Mühle Tachometer; Bosch headlamp; Bosch horn; and an 'Inh. Jos. Hauser, Augsberg' supplier's plate. It should be noted that the VIN plate attached to the headstock is a replacement probably dating from the late 1920s or 1930s.2023 is the 100th anniversary of BMW motorcycle production, and this R32 represents an exciting opportunity to own an example of the German manufacturer's first ever production motorcycle in the marque's 100th anniversary year.• Première moto de BMW• Une des 3 090 machines produites• Plaque constructeur d'origineAncienne restauration, cette R32 a été expédiée à Motorradsporthaus Augsburg (appartenant à Josef Hauser) qui la revendit un certain Wolfgang Stettner le 29 décembre 1924.

c.1929 Henderson 1,301cc KJ FourFrame no. 3006Engine no. KJ30451For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Iconic Vintage-era American four•Acquired in 1991•An older restorationFounded by Tom and William Henderson in Detroit in 1912, Henderson built nothing but four-cylinder motorcycles in its 19-year existence. In 1917 the firm passed into the control of Chicago-based cycle maker Ignaz Schwinn, owner of Excelsior. Schwinn shifted production from Detroit to the Excelsior factory in Chicago and soon abandoned the Hendersons' original design, which was replaced by one drawn up by Henderson engineer Arthur O Lemon. Introduced for 1920, the all-new Excelsior-built Henderson Model K boasted a 1,301cc sidevalve engine equipped with forced lubrication, a twin-downtube frame, strengthened front fork and enclosed rear chain. Modifications to the De Luxe (introduced for 1922) mainly concentrated on improvements to the gearbox. Top speed was a guaranteed 80mph and with the optional alloy pistons installed a De Luxe could touch 100mph, an astonishing performance for the time and one matched by few contemporary cars. Police forces across America snapped them up. Most importantly, its forced lubrication meant that the new Henderson could sustain these high speeds with a degree of reliability unattainable by its splash-lubricated predecessors. In competitions, standard Henderson Fours often had the beating of tuned v-twins, and numerous detail improvements were made throughout the 1920s to ensure that the Henderson remained 'the finest motorcycle in the world'. Nevertheless, by the decade's end it had become obvious something better was needed to stay ahead of the pack. The result was the 'KJ', designed by ex-Harley-Davidson engineer, Arthur Constantine. Introduced in April 1929, the KJ reverted to 'F-head' valve gear while incorporating a five bearing crankshaft (replacing the old three-bearing item) and increased cylinder finning among a host of other improvements. In addition, the handsome newcomer boasted sleek, up-to-the-minute styling, earning itself the sobriquet 'the Streamline Henderson'. Producing 40bhp at 4,000rpm (or 45 horsepower in KL form) the Streamline Henderson proved exceptionally smooth and tractable, being capable of accelerating from 10mph to over 100mph in top gear. Sales were encouraging but with the Depression biting, Ignaz Schwinn decided to quit while he was ahead, ending production of all Henderson and Excelsior motorcycles in 1931. Although it might be argued that production was ended prematurely, Henderson was at least spared the ignominy of going into decline, bowing out as 'the finest motorcycle in the world' with its reputation intact.An older restoration this Henderson Four was purchased at a UK auction in November 1991, at which time it was described as 'presented to a high standard'. Accompanying paperwork includes the auction catalogue page, magazine articles, parts list, instruction book, German customs clearance document, and a (part) old UK V5 registration document.• Moto à quatre cylindres emblématique américaine• Acquise en 1991• Ancienne restaurationAnciennement restaurée, cette Henderson quatre cylindres acquise dans une vente aux enchères au Royaume-Uni en novembre 1991 était décrite comme « présentée dans un excellent état ».

c.1923 Nimbus 746cc Four Frame no. 319Engine no. N686For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Purchased in 1998•An older restoration•German registration plateThe result of diversification by the Danish vacuum cleaner manufacturer, Fisker & Nnielsen, the Nimbus motorcycle first appeared in 1919. Unusually, only inline four-cylinder models were built. These were of advanced design, using shaft final drive and pressed steel frames right from the start of production, and pioneered the use of the telescopic front fork in the mid-1930s. The early models featured a distinctive tubular spine frame that doubled as the fuel tank, soon gaining the nickname 'stovepipe'. Motorcycle production was suspended in 1928 to enable the company to concentrate on producing its Nilfisk vacuum cleaners, and when the new Nimbus appeared in 1934 it was with a power unit that showed strong motor-industry influence, being constructed along car lines with integral crankcase/cylinder block in cast iron and a detachable alloy sump. The cast-iron cylinder head was topped by an alloy housing for the single overhead camshaft, which was driven by shaft-and-bevel gears. A single-plate clutch transmitted power to the three-speed gearbox. Foot change for the gearbox, a beefier front fork and larger brakes had been added by the end of the 1930s, but from then on the Nimbus changed little until series production was ended in 1954, once again to free up resources for the vacuum cleaner business. An additional few machines were assembled from spares between 1954 and 1959 but none have been made since then. Production was always on a limited scale but such is the quality of the Nimbus that many remain in service today. An older restoration, this 'stovepipe' Nimbus was purchased at Brooks' Stafford sale in October 1998 (Lot 354) having been offered from a significant continental private collection. At that time the machine was described as 'restored to a high standard many years ago' and presented in 'nicely mellowed' condition. Re-commissioning was advised following a lengthy period of inactivity. Notable features include a German registration plate ('IP-45842') and a Hella acetylene headlamp. Accompanying documentation includes the auction catalogue page, magazine articles, a selection of photographs, some transfers, some photocopied literature, and a reproduction workshop manual and parts lists.• Acquise en 1998• Ancienne restauration• Plaque d'immatriculation allemandeAncienne restauration, cette Nimbus a été acquise à la ventre Brooks de Stafford en octobre 1998 (Lot 354) en provenance d'une belle collection privée européenne.

1907 Vindec Special 5hpFrame no. 11317 (over-stamped)Engine no. 14329For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Restored by the late Brian Frank•Purchased in 2003•Two-speed hub•Truffault front forkNot to be confused with the British-made Vindec, the Vindec Special was built in Cologne by the Köln-Lindenthaler Metallwerke AG, which also marketed its products - both cars and motorcycles - as 'Allright' (Allreit). Vindec Special was distributed in the UK by the South British Trading Company under the guidance of William 'Billy' Wells, who was later to handle the import and sales of Indian motorcycles with great success in Britain, Europe and the Colonies. The Vindec Special was first exhibited at the 1903 Stanley Show in London. That machine was powered by a 2¾hp Fafnir engine, but by 1907 the 5hp Peugeot v-twin engine had been adopted. The French-made Truffaut leading-link front fork was a notable feature, as was the newly introduced Bosch high-tension magneto. Thanks to Billy Wells' competition successes, and favourable press reports by journalists such as Ixion, who described the machine in glowing terms, the Vindec Special earned itself an enviable reputation. It was in the 1907 Tourist Trophy race on the Isle of Man that the Vindec Special first caught the public's attention, when Billy Wells rode his Peugeot-engined, 5hp v-twin to a distinguished 2nd place in the Twin-Cylinder class behind Rem Fowler's similarly-powered Norton. Another Vindec Special, ridden by J A Dent, finished 4th. Cette Vindec Special découverte à Mapplewell près de Barnsley, en Angleterre, par feu Brian H. Frank, restaurateur réputé de motocyclettes anciennes avait été auparavant utilisée couramment comme moyen de déplacement par un cordonnier de West Riding dans le Yorkshire. Brian Frank arriva juste à temps pour sauver cette machine quelques semaines avant la démolition du bâtiment où elle était entreposée. La Vindec fit ensuite l'objet d'une restauration mécanique et esthétique de haut niveau avec réfection des pièces nickelées et peinture de la machine en gris avec filets et décalques. La machine est équipée d'un moyeu à deux vitesses, d'une fourche Truffault et d'un phare SEM plus un porte-bagages et une lampe arrière cylindrique Lucas.Peter Bühner acheta la machine à la vente Bonhams de la Geeson Brothers Museum Collection à Peterborough en mars 2003 (Lot 237) où elle fut inscrite par la famille Frank. La Vindec qui n'a pas été utilisée depuis sa restauration devra donc être rodée et soigneusement mise au point. Le dossier qui l'accompagne comprend des articles de magazine (en allemand), une sélection de photos et un ancien document d'immatriculation V5 du Royaume-Uni.This Vindec Special was found in Mapplewell near Barnsley, England by the late Brian H Frank, a well known restorer of early motorcycles, and had previously been used as regular transport by a shoemaker in the West Riding of Yorkshire. A timely visit by Brian Frank resulted in this most original machine being rescued only weeks before the demolition of the building in which it was stored. The Vindec was subsequently mechanically restored and cosmetically prepared to a high standard, all brightwork being re-nickelled as necessary and the machine refinished in grey livery with appropriate lining and transfers. The machine is equipped with a two-speed hub gear, Truffault forks and an SEM headlamp, and has a luggage carrier and a Lucas tower rear lamp. Peter Bühner purchased the machine at Bonhams' sale of the Geeson Brothers Museum Collection at Peterborough in March 2003 (Lot 237).

c.1911 Peugeot Lightweight 332cc (2½hp) V-TwinFrame no. 17010Engine no. 25673For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Rare Veteran-era Peugeot v-twin•Direct belt drive•Optional Truffault front forkFormerly producers of tools, coffee mills, umbrella spikes and corsetry, Peugeot commenced its long-standing connection with transportation in 1885 when it added cycle manufacture to its portfolio. The second oldest motor manufacturer in the world, the company commenced car production in 1889 with a steam-powered tri-car but soon abandoned steam in favour of the internal combustion engine, building a succession of ever larger automobiles before introducing the first of its famous Bébé light cars in 1900. Also one of the pioneering firms of the French motorcycle industry, Peugeot followed the familiar progression: first adding proprietary clip-on engines to its bicycles before building complete machines of its own manufacture. The first Peugeot was manufactured in 1882; at this time the firm was known as Peugeot Frères but, as more family members joined, changed its name to Les Fils de Peugeot Frères in 1889. In 1902 Peugeot adopted the Werner brothers' layout for a motorcycle, which placed the engine between the two wheels, thus improving weight distribution and handling, though assistance for the engine by means of bicycle pedals would remain a feature for some years to come. Truffault swing-arm suspension was adopted on some Peugeot models for 1904, making them among the world's most advanced.Having hitherto relied on proprietary power units, the firm introduced its own v-twin engine in 1906. Using one of these Peugeot motors, Norton-mounted Rem Fowler won the inaugural Isle of Man TT race in 1907, and the French make featured prominently in the first ever motorcycle race to be held at Brooklands, when on Easter Monday 1908, a brace of Peugeot-powered NLGs finished 1st and 2nd. The works Peugeots were a dominant force in motorcycle racing in the years immediately before and after WWI, thanks to a succession of innovative overhead-camshaft designs by Jean Antoinescu. A wide range of machines was manufactured between the wars, but after WW2 the firm concentrated mainly on the manufacture of two-stroke lightweights, mopeds and, following the Italian lead, scooters.Dating from around 1911, this Veteran-era Peugeot features direct belt drive, magneto ignition, V-block rear brake, leather tool box, and a kerosene headlight, and has the optional Truffault leading-link front fork.

c.1904 Peugeot 2½hpFrame no. 5846Engine no. 4588For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Rare 'La Belle Époque'-era Peugeot•An older restoration•Optional Truffault front forkFormerly producers of tools, coffee mills, umbrella spikes and corsetry, Peugeot commenced its long-standing connection with transportation in the early 1880s when it added cycle manufacture to its portfolio. The world's oldest surviving motor manufacturer, the company commenced car production in 1889 with a steam-powered tricycle but soon abandoned steam in favour of the internal combustion engine. Also one of the pioneering firms of the French motorcycle industry, Peugeot followed the familiar progression: first adding proprietary clip-on engines to its bicycles before building complete machines of its own manufacture. The first Peugeot bicycle was manufactured in 1882; at this time the firm was known as Peugeot Frères but, as more family members joined, changed its name to Les Fils de Peugeot Frères in 1889.Peugeot's first motorcycle – the 'Motobicyclette' – was introduced at the Paris Salon of 1901. Its 1½hp engine was supplied by the Swiss firm of Zürcher & Lüthi (also known as ZL or Zedel) and mounted on the front down-tube ahead of the pedals. Around 1903 Peugeot began manufacturing its own engines, which were mounted within the frame in the Werner position, thus improving weight distribution and handling, though assistance for the engine by means of bicycle pedals would remain a feature for some years to come. That same year, a team of five 3½hp Peugeots competed in the Paris-Madrid race. Truffault swinging-arm suspension was adopted on some Peugeot models for 1904, making them among the world's most advanced.Dating from 1904 and equipped with the optional Truffault front fork, this Edwardian-era Peugeot is one of the first to feature the company's own engine. Displaying the 'PF' (Peugeot Frères) logo, it incorporates an automatic inlet valve and mechanically operated (side) exhaust valve, with lubrication by 'total loss', arrangements typical of the period. An older restoration, the machine also features a Longuemare carburettor, Herm. Remman Germania headlamp, wooden twistgrips, Selecta saddle, and a Hercule horn. Accompanying paperwork consists of a selection of photographs and a quantity of photocopied technical literature (in French).• Rare Peugeot de « la Belle époque »• Ancienne restauration• Fourche avant Truffault optionnelleDatant de 1904 et dotée de la fourche avant « élastique » Truffault en option, cette Peugeot du début des années 1900 est un des premiers modèles équipés d'un moteur maison.
