The French (Paris-based) company Mandille et Roux (MR) was a producer of motorcyclesthatwas in business from 1926 to 1954. Next to a small range of models, hey alsoproduced specialversions thatcompeted succesfull atlong-distance events of the time.
Like the pictures are showing this rare 1937 motorcycle has many nice and original details which makesit a real pleasure to look at.
Back in the days many bike manufacturers made the choice to fit an engine that came from a engine-manufacturer,wherethis motorcycleis equipped with a (German made) Sachs engine.These (bullet-proof) Sachs engines are well known because of theiruncomplicated design and durability, here still by today parts for these units can easily be found and bought for fair money.The engine that is fitted is still the original one, hich was specially made by Sachs for this motorcycle, s the engine-id.plate is in French language and matches with the frame-number of the motorcycle.
It starts instantly and runs ok, he gearbox is shifting fine, he paint is after almost 80 years not nice and showing age and patina. Allthepanel-work (fenders, as-tank etc.) are solid with having a couple of dings and surface rust.
Personally I regardthe condition where the bike is in not as something really disturbing, s machines from this era and in this condition are getting much harder to find and now often command prices higher than nicely restored equivalents, ut then of course there’s always the choice of restoring it.
This machine has never been road-registered and comes with an official European certificate of origin which states the make, odel, ear, isplacement, eight etc. and an official bill of sale from my company here in Belgium. Furthermore I’ll make sure that all the correct export-paperwork will be in place before the bike leaves from here, hich documents will make the process of importing it into the US an easy ride.-On this listing I’moffering a special (fully sealed) motorcycle crate, areful packing and physical shipping from here in Belgium to a US CFS-depot as close as possible to you at my expense,meaning that I will pay for having the bike crated and all handling etc. at my end plus the ocean-freight charge, here you are responsible for all charges at your end, ike ISF filing, ntry fees, ort-handling, ventually broker fees etc.If you want any additional information about this, lease ask before you place a bid.
Furthermore, hen you want to receive some better photo's of the bike/shipping, r want to recieve more information about this item, ust let me know.
I accept PayPal payments.-Additional information to this listing;
