French version of Henry Price in France

Post by oldbmw »

HI
I visited my local Enfield emporium today. Besides motorcycles he also repairs chainsaws.
Two work there, both mechanics. no dedicated salesman. He has loads of spare parts for the classic, Indian and diesel enfields. He also sells a 500cc enfield diesel, but I have no more info than that. he says it will cruise at 100Kph.
He is a true enthusiast for all vintage bikes, and Enfields in particular. If any of you are in France and need help I would recommend him.

His website is http://www.motocycles79.ex-flash.com

tel 0549 80 1991

hope this helps someone

Interesting Larry. Perhaps France isn't such a 'desert' after all?

I have met this fine gentleman and is somewhere on the West Coast of France, I cannot remember the name.

But does he have a fine moustache like the original Henry Price. who knows???

You may have met him at this years French rally in St Julien le petite. He was there until the Friday lunchtime. I did not arrive until Friday afternoon.

When I visited he had a classic engine in bits. (Oil pump failed stripped drive).

Update re the 500cc diesel

Apparently the engine is made by Greaves in India. atm only as a kickstart and it takes a good swing to start it.
