New Imperial was a British motorcycle manufacturer founded by Norman Downes in Birmingham, between 1887 and 1901, and became New Imperial Motors Ltd in 1912, when serious production commenced. New Imperial made innovative motorcycles that employed unit construction and sprung heel frames long before they became commonplace, and were moderately successful in competition. The 1920s were a financially successful decade, enabling the innovations of the 1930s that fought decline.

dbo:abstract
  • New Imperial fou una empresa fabricant de motocicletes britànica. Fundada per Norman Downes a Birmingham en data incerta entre 1887 i 1901, la societat es va convertir en New Imperial Motors Ltd el 1912, quan va iniciar una producció seriosa. New Imperial va fabricar motocicletes innovadores que feien servir motors amb caixa de canvis integrada i xassissos amb suspensió posterior de molles, molt abans que aquests components esdevinguessin habituals. A més, va tenir un èxit moderat a les competicions. Gràcies a la bona marxa del negoci durant la dècada del 1920, l'empresa va poder aplicar les seves innovacions tècniques durant la del 1930 i va poder pal·liar així el declivi financer propi de l'època. New Imperial va tenir problemes econòmics arran de la Gran Depressió i la consegüent davallada dràstica de les vendes i, a més, el fundador es va morir el 1938. L'empresa fou venuda i tornada a vendre fins que va cessar la producció a finals de 1939. Les seves antigues instal·lacions es varen fer servir més tard per a abastir les necessitats d'una Gran Bretanya en guerra. (ca)

The 1920s were a financially successful decade, enabling the innovations of the 1930s that fought decline. New Imperial suffered financially from the sales-destroying Great Depression of the 1930s, and then the founder died in 1938. New Imperial was sold, and sold again, and then ended production in late 1939, its former facilities subsequently serving the needs of a nation at war. (en)
