The Swiss Motosacoche concern were at the forefront of motorcycle development throughout the pioneer, vintage and post-vintage periods. British enthusiasts will be aware of their proprietary engines, marketed under the MAG name that were used by firms such as Brough Superior. The firm was founded in 1899 by Armand and Henry Dufaux, initially producing "clip-on" engines before moving on to the production of complete machines with engines ranging in capacity from 247cc to 996cc V-twins. The company's success was such that they were able to establish branch factories in Lyon and Milan and in addition licensed Royal Enfield in England and Triumph in Germany to manufacture the engines.

This 1928 Motosacoche has resided with the current vendor for a few years and has completed many vintage events including the Banbury run. He tells us that it has never let him down in his ownership. A rare survivor in the UK, with only a handful of this model known to exist. We have been advised by the current vendor the machine is ‘very lively’ and is ‘running well’. It is offered with a current V5C and some old MOT certificates.
