Observations
- In Oily Rag Condition, ready for restoration this has come straight from a French Barn and been given a clean.
- The handlebar lever will need to be replaced as this has snapped
- The tool box is missing from behind the rear rack
- Original Brown Velo Solex Saddle this model was marketed as having a very comfortable seat.
- Roller turns so would appear engine is free, however the roller grip has broken so will need to be repaired or replaced to engage sufficiently to start the engine.
- Most parts to restore this model are available from Classic Moped Spares at reasonable rates within the Uk. There is also lots of help and advice available free of charge from Solex fans online.
- This bike has been imported and the NOVA documentation processed and a certificate number issued. This means that it is much easier to then apply for an age related registration number should you require it
