RE: Motorcycle of the Week: 1931 Peugeot
We had a shaft drive road tourer many years ago, had loads of fun, also had a Triumph Spitfire soft-top, have wind in your hair (spoke-wheels), a bit of a passion for the old beauties of the road.
I bought a MKIII Spitfire brand new in December 1972. I just ran the wheels completely off of that little beast and it is one of my treasured stuff memories!
I ran a side business for a while prepping English roadsters for re sale and occasionally for racing. Two that turned into longer projects for me were a Jaguar XJ 120 and an MGB that was completely race prepped with a license plate. How fun!
Ours was second hand; I think a MKII if I remember they were manufactured pre 1970, a truck parked on top of us and insurance wrote her off! White body, Red leather upholstery and black soft-top. Sure had fun in her, only sports car we ever owned.
Had two great runs from inland Johannesburg to Durban, then Cape Town up the garden route where we met with the accident, only had her for 2 years 1974/5...
