In 1972, Pierre Guélon was at a local scrap yard to sell offcuts of brass from his factory when he noticed a pile of metal containing what appeared to be old motorcycle components and engines. Very old.
He took the 38kg pile of ‘scrap’ home and spent the next 40 years inding suitable parts, manufacturing others, constantly working on the giant jigsaw puzzles. At that time, most of these machines were hardly known - there were few photographs, no instruction manuals.
On this day in 2018 the collection went up for auction. The catalogue is well worth browsing. The bikes start at Lot 201.
