Description
The motorcycle has been part of a collection of vehicles in Sorsele. The late car collector Mr. Hedman was a recognized expert and passionate enthusiast who restored everything from motorcycles and tractors to cars. He worked as a caretaker for the Sorsele municipality for nearly 40 years and became a well-known motoring personality in the area. Bilweb Auctions has now been entrusted with selling the collection on behalf of the estate. Several of the vehicles are placed on jack stands to prevent the tires from being damaged during long-term storage. The vehicles could therefore not be moved out for photography, and in some cases it has not been possible to document the vehicles from all angles.
The motorcycle is an NSU Lux, equipped with a two-stroke engine of just under 200 cc. We do not know much about the history of this vehicle. What we do know is that in 1954 it was owned by a Mr. Oscarsson, who lived in Vännäs, Sorsele parish. It was removed from the County Administrative Board's vehicle register as early as 1958. This can be seen from the certified copy of the old registration certificate that accompanies the motorcycle. It still carries the license plate with the old county registration number AC 1517. It is therefore not registered in the current vehicle register. The buyer will consequently need to apply for an origin check (ursprungskontroll) with the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen), and once approved, the motorcycle must then undergo a registration inspection at the inspection station. The original owner's manual in German is included.
This is a distance auction. The photographs were taken by an independent photographer, and information about the vehicle and its technical condition, to the extent such information has been available, has been obtained from the estate administrator. BWA has therefore not inspected the vehicle on site at the seller's location.

Condition

Mechanical condition
Equipped with an air-cooled single-cylinder two-stroke engine of 198 cc producing approximately 9 hp. We do not know when the motorcycle was last started. Some parts are missing, such as the ignition cable, brake rod, throttle and clutch cables, hand brake cable, and more. This is what we have been able to determine, but additional parts may be missing. Please study the photos carefully for more information.
-
Exterior condition
The motorcycle has been repainted. The paint has minor blemishes but gives a good overall impression. The taillight is missing. Please study the photos carefully for more information.
-
General condition
A solid foundation for a continued restoration project. The motorcycle needs to be completed with missing parts and then test-started.
Facts about the model
The NSU Lux was manufactured by NSU Werke Aktiengesellschaft in Neckarsulm, West Germany. The Swedish general agent and importer for NSU was Motorfirman Bengt Berg & Co AB in Gothenburg. A total of 78,845 examples of the NSU Lux, including the updated Superlux model, were produced by the factory in Germany between 1951 and 1956. There are no sales figures showing exactly how many of these came to Sweden through the general agent Bengt Berg & Co, but the model was, relatively speaking, one of the more common foreign 200 cc machines on Swedish roads during the 1950s. Today, there are 60 NSU Lux registered in the Swedish vehicle registry.

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.
