Developed in the late 1930s, the French Vélo-Solex first appeared in 1946, just in time to exploit the post-war boom in moped sales. In what many considered an act of Gallic eccentricity, the designers chose not to put the engine in the conventional position in the centre of the frame but above the front wheel, which the single-cylinder two-stroke motor drove via a roller. Pressure from rival manufacturers eventually forced the introduction of more conventional models but the original VéloSolex remained an immutable fixture of the range. Introduced in 1966, the '3800' has proved to be the most popular and numerous of the many versions produced over the years.
This Vélo-Solex 3800 appears to be in age-related condition. Copy paperwork on file refers to the machine having been bought at auction in March 1995.
Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning and/ or restoration to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness, history, authenticity, originality and mechanical condition prior to bidding.
£400 - 800
