Clear

That the dawn of motoring took place in France is a fact where not many of us are familiar with. Pioneer manufacturer AutoMoto built robust sporty machines powered by proprietory engines from Blackburne, Chaise, Zurcher, JAP and Villiers, and after WWII mainly French AMC 125 & 250cc OHV engines and Aubier et Dunne & Peugeot two-strokes. Gearboxes supplied by Burman, Chaise, JAP and Peugeot.AutoMoto built their own engines in the early years, and these were also supplied to the English m'cycle manufacturer Acme.The factory merged with the Peugeot group in 1931 and manufacture ceased in 1962. Like the pictures are showing this rare and distinctive mid-century sport-machine has many nice and original details which makes it a real pleasure to look at. It has been in a non smoking office for over five years thus not been on the street since it has been fully restored. The four-stroke OHV engine starts at first kick and is running ever so smooth and strong, where the gearbox is shifting fine and has all gears present. The odometer reads 5591 km/3419 mile, only have no history with the bike to confirm whether this is correct Both the paint and chrome are in a Very nice condition, spokes and tires are new, where the nice red & gold colored pinstriping is carefully painted on.
