The World of Autojumbles at your FIngertips

Back in the late Fifties when I was serving in the RAF in northern Germany (Schleswig-Holstein), we used to make frequent trips over the border into Denmark. There, the Danish military and the Danish AA patrols were all equipped with 750cc Nimbus motorcycles with their distinctive pressed steel frames and four-in-line engines. I haven’t seen one since. Richard Davies in Essex sent me this photograph of the 1955 example he has. It bears frame number 12969 and engine number 7521, and I’ve issued him with a dating certificate to enable him to obtain an age-related registration number.
