Flandria SP 247 Year: 1964 Mileage: Model: 50 cm³ with gears Registration document: yes MOT: // A typical small two-wheeler from the 1960s At a time when car ownership was not yet as widespread as it is today, small-engined motorbikes were a particularly popular means of transport. Economical, lightweight and relatively simple, they were used for both everyday journeys and the first motorised kilometres of many young drivers. Flandria, a name associated with European small-engined motorcycles Flandria is a brand closely linked to the world of light two-wheelers. Its mopeds and small motorcycles left their mark on their era as simple, accessible machines designed for everyday use. The SP 247 featured here is fully in keeping with this philosophy. It is classified as a 50 cm³ manual-gear model, which gives it a different character to that of a standard automatic moped. Simple mechanics full of charm With a machine in this category, the appeal obviously does not lie in the pursuit of high performance. Rather, the charm comes from the lightness of the whole machine, its mechanical simplicity and the need to actively engage with the ride by using the gearbox. This very mechanical approach to motorcycling is a major part of the pleasure that vintage small-capacity bikes can offer today. The bike on offer This Flandria SP 247 dates from 1964. However, the presence of a registration document is clearly stated. Condition described as ‘good’ The overall condition of this Flandria is described as ‘good’. No specific work is mentioned. This distinction may be of interest to a collector and would benefit from further clarification if additional information is available. A little machine that tells the story of its era The appeal of a 1964 Flandria is also historical. These small-engined bikes were an integral part of the post-war European roadscape. They represent an era when a few dozen cubic centimetres were enough to gain true independence in one’s travels. Today, they hold a particularly strong nostalgic appeal. For many enthusiasts, these are the machines that bring to mind their first two-wheelers, journeys from their youth, or simply the French streets and roads of the 1960s and 1970s, the era of the YÉYÉS. An easy fit in a collection Its compact size is also a clear advantage. A vintage small-engined moped is much easier to display and maintain than a car or a large motorbike. This Flandria can therefore complement a car collection, take its place alongside other vintage mopeds, or simply serve as a first collector’s vehicle. Its appearance and vintage alone are enough to give it a charming presence. Key points This 1964 Flandria SP 247 is a 50 cm³ gear-shift moped representative of a whole generation of small-engined European mopeds. It comes with its registration document and is in good overall condition. Its mileage is not specified and its roadworthiness status remains to be confirmed. Rather than focusing on performance, it offers above all the charm, simplicity and nostalgia of a small 1960s moped.
