Founded in 1923 by Charles Benoît and Abel Hardin, Motobécane had become the world's largest manufacturer of mopeds and bicycles by the 1970s. Motobécane's first motorcycle, the enormously successful MB1, had been developed during 1923 and entered production towards the end of 1924. At around the same time, Motobécane began producing their most popular product, the simple and reliable BMA (Bicyclette à Moteur Auxiliaire), a category in France that required no driving licence.
An older restoration, this B1 is offered from the estate of the lady vendor's late father. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning at the very least, or possibly more extensive restoration, before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to the motorcycle's provenance, age, completeness, originality, and mechanical condition prior to bidding. There are no documents with this Lot.
Offered without key
Footnotes
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding
