Leclere – Maison de ventes will auction a very diverse collection of pre-war (and post-war) cars and motorcycles. Varying prices for two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and four-wheelers. There is something for everyone. On Sunday the 25th of March 2018 the auction will take place during the Avignon Motor Festival. Lot 2 and lot 27, we would like to show you.

First of all, have a look at this motorbike. A 1931 Terrot 500 RL with Bernardet side-car. Terrot was founded in 1887 by Charles Terrot. The company from Dijon became one of the largest French manufacturers of motorized two-wheelers. This success was largely due to the 250 and 350cc motorcycles they sold during the interwar. Later in 1959, Terrot they became part of Peugeot.

The model on the photographs and will be auctioned is the 500 RL, equipped with a 499cc 4-stroke single-cylinder with side valves. It is one of the earlier models, as they were built between 1930 and 1936. About the side-car. The brothers Bernardet began building side-cars in 1922 in Bourg-la-Reine, France. Later in 1948, they became pioneers with their scooters. Of which you could also know them. The motorcycle is restored and participated in many meetings among other the Charnay-les-Mâcon in Marseille and circuit Paul Ricard in Avignon. This 1931 Terrot is estimated between 9000 and 14000 euros.

But if you are looking for something totally different, and would like to have something on four wheels rather than three. Then there is this 1923 Léon Bollée. Model type M, a 5-seater with torpedo body.

This is indeed one of the two sons of Amédée Bollée, the well-known bellmaker at LeMans and later manufacturer of steam cars. So we can say by both Léon as his brother, who is also called Amédée car-building is in the genes. In 1895, Léon started building mainly small cars. Four years later, he changed his focus to more luxurious cars specifically made for the US market. This was made possible by the funds of Vanderbilt. The assortment included 9 different models.

This rear Léon Bollée is in a good condition. The interior has beautiful woodwork, and the upholstery is restored several years ago but has a beautiful patina. In addition, the roof is in excellent condition. The 4 cylinder front engine has almost done 49000 kilometers. After an overall check, many more happy kilometers can be made with this lovely car. This 1923 Léon Bollée is estimated between 25000 and 30000 euros.
