That the dawn of motoring took place in France is a fact where not many of us are familiar with. Formerly producers of tools, coffee mills, umbrella spikes and corsetry, Peugeot commenced its long-standing connection with transportation in the early 1880s when it added cycle manufacture to its portfolio. The world’s oldest surviving motor manufacturer, the company commenced car production in 1889 with a steam-powered tricycle but soon abandoned steam in favour of the internal combustion engine. Also one of the pioneering firms of the French motorcycle industry, Peugeot followed the familiar progression: first adding proprietary clip-on engines to its bicycles before building complete machines of its own manufacture. The first Peugeot bicycle was manufactured in 1882; at this time the firm was known as Peugeot Frères but, as more family members joined, changed its name to Les Fils de Peugeot Frères in 1889. Also the Peugeot-make became well recognized worldwide back in the 1970's because of the tv-series 'Columbo', in which series one of their 1950's cars was used (see image). This early Peugeot has been hanging against a wall of a living room of a Peugeot enthusiast for several years and is therefore still in a nice condition. Of course it is showing after 85 years some traces of use and age (patina), but is like also the pictures are showing still in a clean and shiny condition. It was running fine before it went on display, only as it hasn't been running since, it is in need of some gentle touch to wake it up again. The bike is complete, the engine is spinning free and has good compression, and also think that the acetylene headlamp will work fine, as just like the rest this unit appears to be in a complete and unmolested condition. This motorcycle comes with a European Certificate of Origin (Title) which official document will be issued in your name and states the make, model, year of manufacture, displacement, weight etc, plus an official bill of sale from my company here in Belgium.
