c.1925 Mars 956cc Type MA 20 'White Mars' (Weiße Mars)Frame no. 3614Engine no. 2814For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Legendary German motorcycle•An older restoration•Original supplier's plaqueMars was founded by Paul Reissmann in Nuremberg, Germany in 1873 and commenced production with a range of cast-iron stoves followed by sirens, grinding machines and bicycles. Motorcycle manufacture began in 1903 using proprietary engines supplied by Zedel and Fafnir, and Mars also made cars from 1906 to 1908. Introduced in 1920, the company's most famous model was the legendary 'White Mars' (Weiße Mars), designed by engineer Claus Franzenburg, which was powered by a 956cc horizontally opposed, twin-cylinder, sidevalve engine made exclusively for Mars by Maybach. Unusually, the 'White Mars' featured a box-section frame constructed of welded and riveted steel sheet rather than the almost universal steel tubing. Early examples employed a two-speed, twin-chain transmission while a conventional three-speed gearbox was standardised later and other colours offered. The Mars' high standard of workmanship and finish encouraged sales initially, only for the economic downturn of the mid-1920s forced production to cease for a few years.Towards the decade's end former employees Johann and Karl Müller restarted production of the Mars motorcycle (initially under the 'MA' brand name) and added new models powered by engines supplied by MAG, Sturmey-Archer, JAP and Villiers. Bicycles, mopeds and lightweight motorcycles formed the mainstay of production during the 1930s and the company continued this policy after WW2. Its most successful model of the post-war era was the Mars Stella, a low-slung lightweight powered by Sachs two-stroke engines of various capacities. After more than half a century in production, the Mars factory closed finally closed its gates in June 1958. Of all its many models, it is the 'White Mars' that is the most celebrated; there is an example in the Neue Sammlung international design museum in Munich, Germany, and in the 1980s the model even featured on a German stamp. Several copies have been produced in recent years. This genuine, original 'White Mars' carries an enamel plaque bearing the legend 'Johann & Karl Müller Motor-Fahrzeuge Nürnberg-Doos Sigmund Strasse 17', while there is another plaque on the front mudguard which reads '1928 Walhalla-Fahrt'. An older restoration that has mellowed, the machine is offered with photocopied technical literature, a selection of photographs, magazine articles, an original handbook, and a German Fahrzeugbrief in the name of Erich Frey (issued 1985). It should be noted that the Fahrzeugbrief records the frame number as '1631'. According to the Buhner family, Peter bought the Mars in 1985 from the second keeper, the first owner having owned it until 1979. • Moto allemande de légende• Ancienne restauration• Plaque de fournisseur originaleCette « White Mars » authentique et d'origine porte une plaque émaillée mentionnant « Johann & Karl Müller Motor-Fahrzeuge Nürnberg-Doos Sigmund Strasse 17 » et une autre plaque sur le garde-boue avant indique « 1928 Walhalla-Fahrt ».

On notera que le document allemand mentionne le numéro de cadre « 1631 ».

c.1935 Indian 77.21ci Model 402 Four Frame no. 35B10 & 4502Engine no. EA845For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Iconic American four•'The Duesenberg of Motorcycling'•An older restorationMarketed as the Indian Ace for 1928, the Springfield company's first four-cylinder motorcycle had resulted from its purchase of Ace rights and tooling from Detroit Motors the previous year. The Ace company, although bankrupted twice, had developed a fundamentally sound four-cylinder motorcycle based on William Henderson's original design, and this provided Indian with an opportunity to offer an in-line 'four' with minimal development costs. The Ace was William Henderson's second four-cylinder motorcycle. One of the most charismatic names in American motorcycling history, the Henderson company - founded by Tom and William Henderson in Detroit in 1912 - produced nothing but four-cylinder motorcycles in the course of its 19-year existence. The firm passed into the control of Chicago-based cycle maker Ignaz Schwinn, owner of Excelsior, in 1917 and the Hendersons soon moved on to found the Ace motorcycle company - later taken over by Indian - thereby having a hand in the design of all the major American-built fours. The first Ace four had been offered late in 1919 for the 1920 season and retained the F-head (inlet over exhaust) valve gear of the original Henderson. (Schwinn's Hendersons went 'flat head' for 1920). The 77.21ci (1,265cc) air-cooled inline engine employed splash lubrication and was built in unit with the three-speed, hand-change gearbox. A wheelbase of 59' and a seat height of 29' made for a stable and comfortable ride, while weight was kept down to a commendable 365lbs. By 1926 the reconstituted company was owned by Detroit motors, from which it was bought by Indian in January '27. Having acquired the Ace, Indian made few changes for the next couple of years before beginning to put its own characteristic stamp on the Four, beginning in 1929 with a restyle (Model 401) and following up with a new five-main-bearing crankshaft. Introduced on June 1st 1929 on the Model 402, the latter was the biggest single change made to the motor, which retained the Henderson Ace's basic architecture right up to 1936 when the so-called 'upside down' Model 436 Four was introduced. Production of the Indian Four, 'The Duesenberg of Motorcycling' and America's last four-cylinder motorcycle, ceased in 1942. An older restoration (the engine turns over), this Indian Four features a Dixio carburettor, Corbin speedometer, and a Stuttgart Carmen-Wertag plaque attached to the steering damper. Accompanying paperwork includes photocopied technical literature, a magazine article, and a parts catalogue (modern).• Moto à quatre cylindres emblématique américaine• « La Duesenberg des Motos »• Ancienne restaurationCette Indian « Four » anciennement restaurée est dotée d'un carburateur Dixio, d'un compteur Corbin et d'une plaque Stuttgart Carmen-Wertag fixée sur le frein de direction.
