For many years Motobécane was France's largest manufacturer of motorcycles. Charles Benoit and Abel Bardin joined in 1922 and designed their first motorcycle in 1923, a 175cc single cylinder two-stroke-engined bike. By the 1930s Motobécane was producing a best-selling range of motorcycles. In 1933, they produced their first four-stroke machine with 250cc. The bedrock of production however, was 'bread and butter' two-strokes and uncomplicated sidevalves such as the Model B33A. During the 1930s, they manufactured a longitudinal shaft-drive inline-four engine motorcycle in 500 and 750cc. During this period, the firm entered road racing competitions and won the Bol d'or endurance race.

This is a very rare 250cc twin port overhead-valve Motobécane, believed to be a Model B33A. Certainly a fast lightweight vintage machine, it would be an ideal entrant for the world-famous Banbury run. An all-correct numbers machine, it last ran a couple of months ago and has been stored since. It comes complete with a current V5C.
