Hotchkiss Z2 Omnibus d'hôtel 1913 For Sale by Auction

Up for auction on June 28 th in Cambrai France
Public exhibition on June 27th from 10 to 12 am and 2 to 6pm and June 28th from 10 to 12 am
From the former collection of Alexis DREYE

This 1913 Hotchkiss 12HP is a hotel omnibus fitted with a Z2 inline four engine. It was acquired by Alexis DREYE in 1962. In 1971, he wrote « The body was converted into a hotel omnibus with a back door ». Our Hotchkiss is equipped with twin back wheels on RAF hubs. This vehicle is in good overall condition. The wooden body is well made and well preserved, so are the metal parts. The aspect of this Hotchkiss should be left as is. It was notably on display during an exhibition in Reims. This is a very rare and highly desirable pre WW1 Hotchkiss.

- Same owner since 1962
- Very consistent patina
- Rare hotel omnibus variant.

Châssis N° 2 765

Hotchkiss, fabricant d’armes depuis 1867, se lance dans la production automobile en 1903. Les premières voitures de grand tourisme s’inspirent des Mercedes contemporaines, avec des déclinaisons à quatre ou six cylindres. La conception de ces automobiles est à la pointe du progrès, intégrant notamment des moteurs à soupapes latérales refroidis par pompe centrifuge et un radiateur à nids d’abeilles. Le moulage incorporait déjà des alliages et les moteurs étaient graissés sous pression grâce à une pompe directement entrainée par le vilebrequin. Le premier moteur monobloc apparaît en 1912 sur la quatre cylindres 12/ 16HP. Déjà réputées pour leurs performances et leurs résultats en compétition, les Hotchkiss 12/ 16 HP jouissent d’une côte de popularité qui engendrera un bon succès commercial. Déclinées en diverses versions, de la berline à l’utilitaire, les Hotchkiss d’avant guerre sont très rares.

L’exemplaire issu de cette collection est une Hotchkiss 12 CV « omnibus d’hôtel » de 1913 équipée d’un moteur quatre cylindres type Z2. Elle intègre la collection DREYE en 1962. Son propriétaire écrit en 1971 « la carrosserie a été modifiée en modèle omnibus d’hôtel avec fermeture de l’arrière + porte ouvrable ». Elle est équipée de roues fils jumelées à l’arrière, montées sur des moyeux RAF. La voiture est en bel état général. L’armature en bois est de belle facture et est bien conservée, tout comme la carrosserie qui est parfaitement patinée. L’ensemble est tout à fait cohérent et ne devrait pas être touché. La voiture fut notamment exposée durant le salon de Reims sur le stand de la marque. Cette Hotchkiss, parfait témoin d’une époque, est dans cette configuration absolument introuvable. Son état de conservation en fait un véhicule particulièrement désirable.

- Dans les mêmes mains depuis 1962
- Une patine parfaitement cohérente et à conserver
- Une rare et originale déclinaison « Omnibus d’hôtel »
