• A very original Terrot Model 1
• A great project that was stored in a barn for decades
• Engine turns over

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 1920s. Earlier that same decade Terrot built JAP-powered 350cc machines with two-speed gearboxes and after WWII launched the 125 EP named after the designer, Edmond Padovani. In 1960 the marque was absorbed by Peugeot.

This little mid-1920s Terrot Model 1 had been standing for many years in a French barn until the current vendor found it. Living and working in France at the time, he brought the Terrot back with him when he relocated some thirty years ago. Placed into storage once more, work and other commitments have meant that the seller was never able to embark upon an intended restoration. Deciding the time is right for someone else to bring the Model 1 back to life, he notes that the engine turns over and believes the bike to be mainly complete. A great candidate for restoration or some ‘oily rag’ recommissioning, the Terrot lacks any paperwork.
