• An extremely rare motorcycle
• The only surviving example of 2 made
• Big Indian power plus engine
• In beautifully restored condition

Based in Paris and initially known as D.S., it is reported that just two D. S. Malterre machines were built using the big Indian 1000cc V-twin Power Plus engine with the motorcycle on offer being the sole survivor. . Apparently restored to a very high standard approximately twenty years ago, the work is understood to have encompassed a thorough disassembly, overhauls of the engine, gearbox and Dixie magneto, refinished nickel brightwork and a high quality repaint. Suitably bowled over, the vendor acquired the unique machine to join his collection in 2015 which is now in the process of being reprofiled. Used sparingly over the last nine years, it was picked to go into Lord March's special enclosure at the famous Goodwood Revival. The D.S. Malterre is a very handsome machine and would make a great addition to any collection. You will never find another one. It comes complete with a magazine article on the machine and some information from Mr Sigrands’ grandson suggesting that it might have raced in period (however, there is no independent documentation to substantiate this claim). Some light recommissioning would be advised before use.
