1972 French Moped — Deluxe Orange | 235 Original Kilometres | All-Original with Factory Saddlebags & Tool Kit


Offered for auction is a 1972 French-built motorbike/moped presented in immaculate, all-original condition, finished in its striking Deluxe Orange factory color and showing just 235 original kilometres from new. This exceptional example remains untouched and unaltered, displaying a level of preservation rarely seen in early-1970s European mopeds.



The moped retains its original factory saddlebags, a highly desirable and seldom-surviving accessory, along with the original factory tool kit from France, still strapped to the handlebars as delivered when new. These period-correct details significantly enhance both the authenticity and collectability of this example.



Throughout, the motorcycle presents as a true survivor. The paint, finishes, components, and fittings reflect careful ownership and minimal use, with no evidence of restoration or cosmetic refresh. The exceptionally low kilometres are evident in the overall presentation and level of preservation.



European mopeds of this era were typically used extensively and rarely preserved in such complete, factory-correct form. Examples retaining their original accessories, tool kits, and ultra-low kilometres are increasingly scarce and highly sought after.



This 1972 French moped represents a museum-quality, preservation-grade example, ideally suited for a serious collection, display, or long-term stewardship by the next caretaker.
