1948 Terrot M347 100cc
Price reduced to £1,400 from £2,250. This delightful French motorcycle is basically a pre-war design. Terrot used these earlier designs to more easily restart post war production. Powered by a two stroke engine, these lightweight bikes helped to get France mobile again. This particular example was imported to the UK in the 1990's & has come to us from the last North Essex owner who had purchased it in 1999 from a gentleman in the same area. The last owner informed us that he had the engine work done in 2005 by Peter Morris of Colchester, with parts supplied by a French company (recommended by the Terrot Club) & even going so far as to have a piston specially made by them! There are invoices/receipts for parts & labour. Has a file of information, including information on the machine & a workshop manual. He reluctantly sold the Terrot to help his son with his interest in British bikes. We have had the bike running, although the engine is low on compression & the kickstart doesn't engage, which has been allowed for in the price reduction, as we are selling this Terrot 'strictly as is' (i.e., Sold as Seen). The bike comes with a current dating letter & paperwork which should allow the new owner to register the Terrot with the DVLA.
