After World War 2, the Yugoslavian government sought to develop new industries and established Tomos as a motorcycle manufacturer in Koper, Slovenia, from where its first product, a built-under-license Puch moped, emerged in 1954. In 1966 Tomos built a moped factory in the Netherlands and the firm would go on to expand into markets throughout Europe, Africa, and the USA. At the dawn of the 1970s Tomos began producing 'automatic' mopeds of its own design, moving away from those inherited from Puch. The first of these was the Automatic A1, which was superseded in 1973 by the Automatic A3, as seen here. Currently displaying a total of 2,095 miles on the odometer, the machine is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying paperwork consists of an HPI printout and a V5C document.
