Facts about the model

Greve Albert de Dion ingick i 1883 ett samarbete med Georges Bouton och dennes svåger Trépardoux. Avsikten var att bygga motordrivna fordon, men 1887 lyckades firmans trehjuliga, ångdrivna personbil komma upp i den svindlande hastigheten 65 km/h. 1893 började De Dion-Bouton experimentera med bensindrivna motorer. Försöken ledde till den första riktiga användbara bensinmotorn, som kom att licenstillverkas av flera andra företag i såväl Frankrike som i Tyskland. Innan dess hade dock Trépardoux, som var en häftig motståndare till bensindriften, lämnat firman 1894. Strax före sitt avhopp konstruerade Trépardoux den berömda “De Dion-bakaxel”, en bakhjulsupphängning där kraften överförs av drivaxlar med knutar i både ändar, medan fordonets vikt tas upp av en stel axel, som även bär upp hjulen. (Denna axelkonstruktion presenterades som en stor nyhet av Volvo vid introduktionen av 340-modellen 1976).

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
