I have this Gnome Rhone D3 motor cycle that I bought from the original owner in Bordeaux in 1970
I brought it back to South Africa in very original condition and did a complete rebuild. I rode it on a number of rallies here including 4 or 5 DJ commemorative rallies (Durban to Johannesburg vintage dated before 1936 when the last race was completed) and many Magnum rallies to the Eastern Transvaal (now named (Mpumalanga) all during the 1970's and early 1980's. I would be interested to know if there are many of these D3 motorbikes still in existence what sort of value they would fetch should I one day decide to sell (see attached photos)
