Salut Steve,

je PENSE que

le premier revendeur en France étais Pierre Psalty ( n'existe plus)

le plus vieux revendeur " toujour en activité " est Honda "Werther" situé a  NICE cote d'Azur a commencé sont activité en exclusif avec Honda  en 1963 et est toujours revendeur Honda..

 :)

Steve, Psalty was the oldest Honda dealer in France, but has ceased its activity today.
And he became Yamaha exclusive during the 80's after a falling out with Honda France ...

I think one of the oldest Honda dealer in France, always in activity, is Japauto in Paris, and Pithioud in Lyon.

edit : benjixt is right, Werther is probably the oldest Honda dealer in France, Japauto and Pithioud started with Honda in 1967 or 1968 ...

4pots1969:
But at first motorcycles were not imported from Japan but imported from Germany...
Here are some advertisements from magazines in the 60s...

Patrick et Benjamin, it's pretty good to participate in conversations... but it must be done all the time and not just to correct an error on my part... And this will be even more interesting !! ;)
Thanks, Gerard

Yes Gerard, as I said bikes were imported in France by Psalty via Hamburg in Germany.

Thanks for posting these pictures, maybe you could thank the original poster of these pics, www.zseft-zundapp.com  ;)

Steve Swan:
Is it possible to talk to any of the old early dealers or their staff  that may have seen or known about these French sandcasts ?

Have any 14xxx-17xxx vin sandcasts been discovered in Germany ?
