This Tempo bike and other modells was made inn Norway ,Sandnes,from

The tank,headlamp and engine come from England and Villiers company,
and the other parts on the bike has been made by Øgland's factory.
I'm looking for some part for my headlamp (images ooo63)
It's an modell from VEC (Villiers Electric Company ?)

1947 to 1951.
The head lamp is marked with an label "Villiers VEC Wolverhampton".(images

6V lightbulb with 2 poles, and some internal part for the Low-
Off- High switch,
or an compleet headlamp.

ok crome headlamp ring ,glas,reflektor and switch as you can see.
I know there also was av old english motorbike, James

Tempo Cross 175cc
I grew up in Norway and used to have many Tempos both mopeds and MC's.
I now live in Lexington, KY and would like to find a Tempo Cross 175. I
have read somewhere they used to be imported to the US in the mid 60's.
Does anyone know of one for sale?

Tempo
I lived in a small town close to Sandnes where the Tempo factory used
to be. The company was called Jonas Oeglaend as near as I can spell it
without the three special Norwegian letters. Their machines were lightweight,
simple, clean and very well finished. Tempo has a very enthusiatic following
in Norway among guys of my age (baby boomers). I fixed up a 1940s Tempo
Villiers at the farm I worked at in my teens. The farmer still has it.
Maybe I should ask him for it.
