These quirky French made machines were built from 1954-56, with about 300 sold. They were built to compete with the German Messerschmitt KR175. They were powered by a 175cc 2-stroke engine fitted with an electric starter based on the dynamo, called a gyro-starter. Only 38 are known to have survived. This one is chassis number 15, the earliest known survivor.

Who :
What : 8x10 print scan of my former 1973 1/2 Honda 175 CB (pipes up) motorcycle as it sits in the repair shop after I got into a head-on collision with a car in Oakland, California in 1976. I stood up on my pegs at impact and saved my own life. (I flew through the air like superman. When I went over the handle bar, the left blinker pod cut my left shin, giving me a nasty laceration. The scar is my reminder.) Later, when the paramedics didn't secure the legs on the gurney properly, they dropped me. It was a Murphy's Law kind of day.

THE CITROËN DS21
Citroën's magnificent, space-age DS turned the motoring world on its head when it launched at the 1955 Paris Auto Salon. Onlookers at the show were stacked ten-deep, gendarmes were called in to control the crowds and visitors began waving their Francs at Citroën representatives to get their deposits down on this most remarkable machine. With such a scene unfolding, it would be easy to assume the DS was an exotic sports car or highly exclusive limousine for the elite. But in fact, Citroën's stunning new creation was a mid-priced family sedan, taking and more than 12,000 deposits on the first day of the show! Despite the humble purpose, the DS was a technological tour de force, featuring hydraulic suspension (pioneered on the Traction Avant's self-leveling rear end), high-pressure self-centering steering, semi-automatic gearbox, radial tires, and four-wheel disc brakes. It was wrapped in a gorgeous, futuristic body penned by Italian sculptor Flaminio Bertoni and French aeronautical engineer Andre Lefebvre. The great French theorist and aesthete Roland Barthes described it as having "fallen from the sky." The DS would go on to become an enduring symbol of French ingenuity, creativity, and Avant Garde style. More than a million were built over 20 years, with everyone from middle-class families to heads of state counted among the proud owners.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This elegant and sophisticated Citroën DS 21 4-door Sedan was completed at the Parisian Ste Ame Citroën manufacturing facility during December of 1972. The DS was built for the North American market, in the final production year Citroën would market these futuristic machines in the American marketplace. The rare DS 21 looks stunning in its Sky-Blue exterior with white roof, and matching blue and white velour interior. Original ID plates and finishes in compartments attests to a well-preserved example, most likely kept as a special interest car in past decades as opposed to a daily driver. Air conditioning is fitted to keep the passenger cool and comfortable.

Description Moto Guzzi Lodola Gran Turismo
Registration 716 UXK
Year 1960
Colour Red
Engine size 235 cc
Chassis No. RDG37
Engine No. RDG33
Builders of high-quality machines since the 1920s, Moto Guzzi was Italy’s leading motorcycle manufacturer and was one of the few makes known outside the country, due mainly to the successful competition machines that appeared pre- and post-war when the flying red machines were always to the fore.
After 1946 Moto Guzzi changed their priorities and, while still producing the sporting large capacity machines they were best known for, they added a comprehensive range of smaller two-stroke machines from 44cc to 153cc.
So good were they at this task, the Italians became kings of the lightweight motorcycle in the 1950s and 60s, producing machines fabled for their power-to-weight ratio and their superb handling. Apart from motorcycles, mopeds and scooters, Moto Guzzi also produced three-wheelers and utility vehicles during this period, the priority being to get the general public motorised in the austere post-war world.
Carlo Guzzi’s final design, the Lodola arrived in 1956, powered by a 175cc single-overhead-cam engine inclined in a duplex loop frame. A Sport version followed and then in 1959 the model was enlarged to 235cc, becoming the Lodola Gran Turismo. Pushrod valve operation was adopted for the bigger engine which produced 11bhp and was good for a top speed of 70mph. It remained in production until 1966.
This Lodola Gran Turismo was first registered in Italy in June 1960, according to the V5C, being imported to the UK about 10 years ago. Records on file show correspondence from 2005 when the machine was dated by the Moto Guzzi Club UK to assist the then owner to register it with the DVLA on an age-related number, 716 UXK. This is a pretty bike eligible for the Giro events in Italy if the new owner should fancy a Roman Holiday.

1958 Ducati 175S 175cc, Italy
Dr. Fabio Taglioni is one of the giants of motorcycle design and the man principally responsible for establishing Ducati's reputation as a producer of top-quality sporting motorcycles. This 175S is one of Dr. T's classic desmodromic singles. Desmodromic refers to the mechanical opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves rather than closing them under spring tension as most internal-combustion engines do.
The tank badge of a 1965 registered BSA Bantam Super 175cc two stroke single motorcycle. My first motorcycle was a 1966 second hand Bantam D7. The design was brought from Germany after WW2 as part of war reparations. Originally 125cc, then 150cc, it finished up as 175cc.
This excellent museum is near Newborough and contains a good selection of old vehicles, agricultural, military and civilian. It is well worth a visit if you are on Anglesey.

the TV 175 Series III. was launched in 1962 as Innocentis flagship model, Similar in design to the Li 150, but with a different headset with a hexagon shaped headlight, it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake and sleeker styling to the earlier Series 2. The front mudguard is made from fibreglass and much more pointed than the round LI item. The 175 cc engine had a porting layout to produce a higher output of 8.7hp. Also the TV was subject to a few cosmetic changes during the production run. Instead of the standard LI side-panels, it soon received the panels of the Special models and the chrome ring under the headset disappeared.

Bike No.2 for me was this Honda CB175. A twin cylinder 175cc engine gave more than adequate performance (top speed about 70mph) although long journeys were a bit strained. I bought it in 1973 from a friend for about £250, did several thousand miles on it and finally, in 1973, passed my bike test on it.
