• Rare in this country French made 1958 Terrot Tenor 125
• Authentically restored back to standard condition
• UK registered and supplied with a current V5C

Terrot of Dijon was the largest motorcycle manufacturer in France for much of the first half of the twentieth century, having absorbed Magnat-Debon in the late 1920's. During the early 1920s Terrot built JAP powered 350cc machines with 2 speed gearboxes and after WW2 launched the 125 EP named after the designer, Edmond Padovani. This was the machine that proved to be the lifeblood of Terrot throughout the fifties together with a range of OHV singles up to 500cc in capacity, a number of two-strokes and some rather nice scooters. The arrival of cheaper cars and other factors led to the decline in popularity of the motorcycle and in 1960 the marque was absorbed by Peugeot.

This nicely presented and authentically restored 1958 Tenor has been owned by the vendor for about 5 years. Not used much in that time it will need some recommissioning before use, but paintwork and chrome are all good. An interesting bike that is rare in the UK and supplied with a current V5C.
