Lot 152

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. À l'époque, la machine a été décrite comme « restaurée à un niveau de qualité élevé il y a quelques années » et présentée avec une belle patine. Une révision s'impose après une longue période d'inactivité. Ses particularités comprennent une plaque d'immatriculation allemande (« IP-45842 ») et un phare à acétylène Hella. La documentation jointe comporte la page du catalogue de la vente, des articles de magazine, une sélection de photos, quelques décalques, de la littérature en photocopie, un manuel d'atelier et une liste de pièces de rechange en copie.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. Their present mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, perspective bidders must satisfy themselves with regards to their condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.On notera que depuis le décès de Peter et d'Ulrike ces véhicules ont été maintenus en exposition dans le musée ou entreposés.

c.1898 Horse-Drawn Fire Engine 'Metropolitan' Coachwork by William Rose & Co, Engineers of ManchesterFor further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Typical Victorian-era horse-drawn fire engine•From one of the best manufacturers•In the Yorkshire Car Collection from 1977 onwards•Purchased by Peter Bühner in 2007•Stored since acquisitionThe horse-drawn fire engine, generally pulled by two horses, was a feature of British town life in Victorian days when fire risks were far greater than today. The larger country house would generally have its own engine and a team of firemen drawn from the estate workers. Double vertical engine models were the most common and the engine design of this example features twin high-pressure cylinders with external valve chests, a pushrod-operated feed pump and twin-nozzle double-acting pump with pressure dome in series. Shand Mason of Blackfriars dominated the fire engine market in the mid-Victorian era, producing a range of steam-powered fire engines, generally for private ownership and primarily for use in industry and in the great British country houses. Merryweather & Sons of Lambeth, who were established as early as 1769, also vied for a major share of this important and burgeoning industry, whilst smaller manufacturers such as William Rose & Co of Manchester produced engines of equal quality, but on a smaller scale. Indeed, it was a William Rose engine that won the Grand Challenge Cup for Best Engine at the National Fire Brigade's Union Meeting in 1901, adding to its impressive record in regularly winning the Dewar Challenge Shield.This Rose engine was acquired for the Yorkshire Car Collection in 1977 and was restored to running order in the 1980s. Peter Bühner purchased the engine for the collection at Bonhams' sale at the Royal Air Force Museum, Hendon, on 30th April 2007, since when it has been stored in the collection. At that time we said the following: 'It has not been operated for many years and will therefore require the usual careful re-commissioning and boiler safety checks. The engine bears the name 'Metropolitan', the coachwork is liveried with the name Shadwell Court and bears a monogram under the driver's foot-rest. Shadwell Court is situated near Thetford in Norfolk and was the home of the aristocratic Buxton family until 1901. The red, gold and black livery appears to be original and overall condition appears to be of museum quality, simply requiring gentle conservation. The engine comes with hoses and nozzles and two life-size fibreglass horses with saddlery and leather bridlework by A. Goodall, Saddler of Shipley and Keighley.' The aforementioned life-size model horses are included in the sale.Voiture de pompiers hippomobile 'Metroplitan' de William Rose & Co, Engineers of Manchester – Vers 1898•Voiture de pompiers hippomobile typique de l'ère victorienne•Issue de l'un des meilleurs ateliers•Présente dans la Collection de voitures du Yorkshire depuis 1977•Achetée en 2007 par Peter Bühner•Conservée à l'abri depuis son acquisitionLes voitures de pompiers hippomobiles, en général tirées par deux chevaux, étaient courantes dans les villes britanniques à l'ère victorienne, quand les risques d'incendie étaient bien plus élevés que de nos jours. A la campagne, les grands domaines avaient en général leur propre équipement ainsi qu'une équipe de pompiers recrutés parmi le personnel du domaine. Les mécanismes verticaux doubles étaient les plus courants. La conception de l'exemplaire proposé s'appuie sur deux cylindres à haute pression avec boîtiers de vannes extérieurs, pompe d'alimentation à tige et pompe double effet à deux embouts et calotte étanche. Au milieu de l'ère victorienne, c'était Shand Mason, de Blackfriars, qui dominait le march... For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website
