Brief History of the Marque: Motosacoche
Henri and Armand Dufaux founded Motosachoche in Switzerland in 1899.
Production of motorcycles began with small bicycle engines and soon advanced
to the production of MAG-engined motorcycles of 250cc to 1000cc. Enormously
successful in the interwar period, Motosacoche had factories in Switzerland,
France and Italy, and supplied MAG engines to many other manufacturers
including Brough Superior, Condor,
Dresch,
Imperia,
Matchless,
Morgan, Neander, New Hudson, Rex-Acme,
Rovin
and Monet Goyon.
Detailed information on a number of models may be found at JLB-Créations

Morgan 1921 Family
Hello, 2 weeks ago I bought an old Morgan Threewheeler from a car collector
in Belgium. According to the Morgan Threewheeler Club, this could be one
off the oldest Morgan 4 seaters in existence. It has the beautiful Motosacoche
watercooled V-twin engine, that was also used in the Grand Prix model.
I`m looking for an instruction book for this type of engine, so that I
can check the ignition and other engine settings before I start the engine.

and Manuals (but nothing yet for Motosacoche 0803)
Images will be posted on Morgan page, yet to be created.

Motosacoche 1910 listed on Ebay UK
Vendor's Description:
This is your chance to purchase and own a veteran motorcycle at an
affordable price . This little 4 stroke machine uses a motosacoche unit
fitted to little more than a bicycle frame ! So is interesting to ride
!!
It has been on the pioneer run and comes with a pioneer certificate
that validates this machine as 1910 .
It runs well , has a lighting kit which I have never used and is a good
entry for the pioneer run as it is very rare . You see lots of triumphs
etc but I am told very few Motosacoche have survived .
