**Particulars                **

Motorcycle is in the configuration created and made roadworthy by the then owner in 1953.

In 1971, this OEC took part in the Elefanten Treffen at the Nürburgring in Germany.

In 1994, the cylinder was rebored, the piston replaced and the valves ground. Since then, the motorcycle has been ridden with some regularity, but has not covered many kilometres. Also in 1994, the dynamo was overhauled and the built-in mechanical regulator was replaced with an electronic regulator.

In 2025, the throttle slide in the carburettor was replaced with an oversized one, and the jet needle, jet needle holder and float needle were renewed. The engine is in rideable condition.
