This charming Vintage-era two-stroke lightweight was manufactured by Motoconfort, a French firm once independent but from 1930 a subsidiary of the much larger Motobécane concern. Although simple, moped-style 'BMA' machines were immensely popular in inter-war France, many riders wanted lightweight motorcycles capable of more than purely local journeys. Motoconfort used proprietary engines, including those of the British firms J A Prestwich (JAP) and Blackburne, but the machine offered here has a single-cylinder two-stroke engine, on the timing cover of which is a plaque bearing the legend: 'Moteur Motoconfort Licence Motobécane'. Acquired for the collection in January 2010, the machine appears to be an older restoration and is presented in nice condition. Accompanying documentation consists of old/current V5C Registration Certificates and two MoTs (most recent expired June 2010).
