After acquiring license to the Magnat-Debon name in 1928, Terrot becomes the leading French manufacturer of two wheeled vehicles. Through the thirties an extensive range of models is marketed, from a humble 100cc single speed “Velomoteur” to a sturdy 750cc side valve V-twin. The company uses elaborate four-letter model codes in which the first letter designates the cubic capacity, for example: “M” stands for 100cc, “L” means 174cc, “P” or “O” designate 246cc, “H” 346 cc, “R” 498cc and “VA” 748cc. The second letter “S” stands for “Standard”, the third letter “S” designates “Sport” and the “E ” refers to “Enclosed Rockers and Springs “.
The basis of this well- presented machine in racing trim consists of a 1931 OSSE model that has been fitted with a sporty 1936 JAP OHV exposed-valves engine, Webb forks, Amal-Fisher carb, Bosch magneto, Terrot gearbox, bum pad and racy handlebars and mudguards.
