Ugly as only the French can do. Probably supremely practical though.

Actually, it looks like it's designed to fold up to fit in the boot of a 2CV.

Well, actually they do fold up. Don't know about the 2CV though, L15 maybe, (showing my age here).

If your local Vintage Club branch has a moped run go along and ask....that's where most have finished up now.

I'm pretty sure i've seen a couple at swap meets in the SI in the last 4 - 5 years too, so they do turn up.
