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.

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...

1929 Morris Commercial 15.9hp R-Type Country Bus Chassis no. R2893 Engine no. R23744For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Typical British country bus of the Vintage period•Purchased at a Bonhams & Brooks auction in December 2000•Older restorationThe nascent Morris Motors had offered a commercial derivative of its first passenger car, the Oxford, prior to WWI but it was not until the early 1920s that a serious attempt was made to grab a slice of the light van market. In 1923 the acquisition of the factory previously belonging to E G Wrigley Ltd, onetime component suppliers to Morris, enabled the company to expand into the heavier commercial market, with P G Rose as designer. Morris Commercial Cars Ltd was formed and introduced its first model, the one-ton T-type, in May 1924. Like the Morris vans, the T-type relied on passenger car components, including the contemporary Oxford's 13.9hp engine. Morris Commercials found favour, particularly with the General Post Office (Royal Mail); indeed, such was their success that production expanded to the former Wolseley works at nearby Adderley Park. By the end of the 1930s Morris Commercial Cars Ltd was Europe's largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles. This delightful 30cwt Model R carries country bus-style coachwork typical of vehicles operated by coach proprietors in almost every village in the days before motor car ownership became common. Unlike the earlier car-based vans, the R-Type (introduced in 1928) was powered by a purpose-built commercial vehicle Z-Type engine of 2.8 litres and had a four-speed gearbox. Four-wheel brakes were optional. A version with a longer wheelbase was introduced in 1930, which was powered by larger engines and had four-wheel brakes as standard. By the time R-Type production ceased in 1933 a total of 17,745 had been built.This example of the 'Middleweight Champion' was purchased by Peter and Ulrike Bühner at Bonhams & Brooks' Olympia sale in December 2000 (Lot 1891), at which time it carried the UK registration 'DS 7653'. An older restoration, it would be ideal for film and television work, not to mention attending events such as the Goodwood Revival. Offered with an old-style UK V5 registration document.Morris Commercial Country Bus Type R de 15,9 ch – 1929Châssis n° R2893Moteur n° R23744•Autobus campagnard typiquement britannique de l'ère Vintage•Acheté en décembre 2000 lors d'une vente aux enchères de Bonhams & Brooks•Anciennement restauréMorris Motors, dès ses débuts, proposa avant même la Première Guerre mondiale une version utilitaire de sa première voiture particulière, l'Oxford, mais ce ne fut qu'au début des années 1920 que la firme s'attaqua sérieusement au marché des utilitaires légers. En 1923, l'acquisition de l'usine de la E. G. Wrigley Ltd, un ancien fournisseur de Morris, permit à la marque de prendre pied dans le domaine des utilitaires lourds, avec comme ingénieur P. G. Rose. La Morris Commercial Cars Ltd fut alors créée et elle lança en mai 1924 son premier modèle, le Type T d'une tonne. De même que les fourgons Morris, le Type T reprenait des composants de voitures particulières, dont le moteur de 13,9 ch de sa contemporaine l'Oxford. Les Morris Commercial furent appréciés, en particulier des services postaux, et leur succès fut tel que leur production dut faire aussi appel aux anciens ateliers de Wolseley, son voisin d'Adderley Park. A la fin des années 1930, la Morris Commercial Cars Ltd était le plus gros constructeur d'utilitaires de toute l'Europe.Ce délicieux Model R de 1,5 tonne est carrossé en autobus campagnard, dans le plus pur style des véhicules qu'exploitaient les compagnies de transport dans quasiment tous les villages à une époque où ...

Kings of East Anglia, Æthelstan (825-40), Penny, [Ipswich], Eadnoth, edelztan re+, draped bust right, breaking inner circle, rev. eadnod monet around cross-crosslet, 1.36g/6h (Naismith E30a, same obv. die = SCBI BM 833, same dies; Pagan, BNJ 1982, p.58; N 434; S 948). Nearly extremely fine, struck on a full round flan, free from the usual porosity but with some patchy toning; extremely rare thus £8,000-£10,000 --- Naismith’s corpus records just two examples of Æthelstan portrait pennies struck by Eadnoth, from two obverse and two reverse dies. The present coin, which is seemingly only the fourth known example, was struck from the same dies as the coin now housed within the British Museum, and the same obverse die as the piece sold through these rooms in 2022. Æthelstan was a king of the independent Kingdom of East Anglia which emerged following the end of Mercian Supremacy in 825. Unfortunately, the paucity of contemporary written sources means that we know little about events in the region during the first half of the ninth century. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle relates that in 825 the Mercian King Beornwulf, after his disastrous defeat at the battle of Ellendum against King Ecgberht of Wessex, was slain by an anonymous king of the East Angles. Beyond this, little interest was shown by the Chronicle’s compiler towards the East Anglian kings or their activities. This fact, coupled with a complete absence of surviving charters from the area, means that we must turn to the numismatic evidence for answers. The identity of the first independent king of East Anglia is made clear from the hoard record, with the Middle Temple hoard being particularly informative. The large group, deposited at some point during the 840s, contained 243 early ninth century coins produced under various kings across England. Included within were some 39 pieces of Æthelstan. No coins of any other independent East Anglian ruler were present, making Æthelstan’s primacy clear. The name Eadnoth, the moneyer responsible for the striking of the coin offered for sale here, first appears on pennies of the Mercian king Offa in the 780s and then on coins of the obscure local king Eadwald who usurped power in East Anglia for a brief period during the late eighth century. Following this Eadnoth signed no coins during the first two decades of the ninth century, despite the productive nature of the East Anglian mint under the supervision of the Mercian Kings Coenwulf and Ceolwulf. Finally the name reappears in c. 824 on the coins of the last Mercian rulers to exercise power within the region, Beornwulf and Ludica, before continuing onto the coinage of the independent king Æthelstan. Given that several decades lapsed between these episodes of the minting activity we ought to consider the possibility that these are two different moneyers by the same name. Elsewhere, attempts have been made to detect familial connections between successive moneyers operating within the same area who share similar names. The case of Eadnoth may provide another good candidate for such a scenario, and it is possible that the Eadnoth who struck our coin was a relative, perhaps even a son, of Offa’s moneyer. In common with all of Æthelstan’s portrait coins, the present specimen was struck at the beginning of the monarch’s reign, as part of an issue that probably lasted until c. 830. Æthelstan portrait pennies were completely absent from the Middle Temple Hoard. From this some have inferred that these early coins must had dropped out of circulation by this point. However, the same hoard contained numerous pennies struck under Æthelstan’s Mercian predecessors, Coenwulf, Ceolwulf and Beornwulf. It is difficult to believe that all of Æthelstan’s portrait pennies ceased to circulate on account of wear, damage and loss whereas those of earlier rulers consistently did not. We should not dismiss the possibility that Æthelstan’s Portrait coinage was officially called in and deliberately withdrawn from circulation in a renovation monetae. Such a policy was seemingly employed by the Kings of Wessex during the second half of the ninth century to help bring uniformity to their currency and led to a total absence of earlier coins in hoards deposited after the reform’s instigation. It is notable that following the short episode of iconographical variation early in Æthelstan’s reign all of the East Anglian coinage, continuing throughout the reigns of his successors Æthelweard and Eadmund, was of a generally consistent design. If such a reform was implemented it would help to explain why the portrait pennies of Æthelstan remain so excessively rare, despite the general increase in ninth century coins discovered and excavated over the previous two decades.
