A Brief History of the Marque: Guiller
Guiller, more exactly Guiller Frères, was a motorcycle make in
its own right which has nothing to do with René Gillet.
Guiller Frères made motorcycle from 1929. They produced mostly
small bikes (100/125/175 cc) and some scooters and mopeds, with proprietary
engines 2 and 4 strokes.
In 1954, the make is divided in two. One of the two brothers who founded
the factory, René Guiller, goes on under his own name, and his brother
Pierre's two sons launch their own make, Guiller SA. Guiller produced bikes
with engines from AMC and other engine suppliers.
The two makes went on to produce roughly the same kind of bikes, and
they closed both around 1958.

GUILLER FRERES MOTORCYCLE
G90? (no photos yet)
A friend has purchased a Guiller motorcycle from a Frenchman living
in Scotland and I was trying to find out more about it for him (he is elderly
and has no PC)?
The plate on the frame reads as follows;
G90
8Z27 OR 8727 OR 8Z2Z
7935
It has a small AMC engine but we couldn't get any numbers from it yet
but I think it could be the 175cc model? It has never been registered in
the UK? The previous owner had no paperwork either?
If anyone could help with technical details etc I'd appreciate it, thanks?
