A Brief History of the Marque: Terrot
From 1887 to 1935 Terrot was based at:
2 rue André-Colomban
DIJON (Côte-d'Or)
Terrot of Dijon was the largest motorcycle manufacturer in France for
much of the first half of the twentieth century, having absorbed Magnat-Debon
in the late 1920's.
During the early 1920s Terrot built JAP powered
350cc machines with 2 speed gearboxes. The G model, introduced at the Paris
Salon of 1925, came in two versions, the Sport and Touriste. Later that
year the H model appeared with a Terrot engine and much improved front
suspension. The late twenties also saw the production of a Blackburne
powered 174cc racing bike, and in 1937 another racing model had a transverse
V-twin of 498cc.
After WWII they built a range of ohv singles up to 500cc in capacity,
a number of two-strokes and some rather nice scooters. In the 1950s they
almalgamated with the Automoto Group under Peugeot
and the name Terrot faded out.
