The French Jonghi concern entered the motorcycle market in 1931 with a 348cc side-valve single, adding a 348cc overhead-cam model to the range in 1933. These were rapidly followed by 248cc and 173cc versions, all of which were successful in competition prior to the Second World War. In the post-war years, the company concentrated on the production of lightweights powered by proprietary engines.
This c.1955 Jonghi was purchased from a gentleman who was unable to complete its restoration for health reasons. The current vendor fell in love with it, and the other Jonghi (lot 262), and took them on as projects. Unfortunately, due to work and family commitments, he has been unable to make progress and has decided it's time for someone else to take them on. There is no documentation with this lot.
