BMW ? could be, but is surely CEMEC L7 Une CEMEC L7, même avec ce genre de "cadre" (je ne sais pas comment on dit) enveloppant ? Ce ne serait pas plutôt une BMW R12 ? Some Zündapps had that kind of frame, too. shame on me ! after a second look (poor quality shoot,a pity) BMW R12 steel pressed frame: cadre en tôle emboutie (for DidierF) well done Bon, mais les euh, les culasses sont très BMW, non ?

Zundapp? see the frame including the fuel tank BMW R12 as built from 1934 to 1937

According to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_R_12 :

in The Baron
The Baron

I think it is a BMW R12. And the red car is maybe a Skoda Felicia. The red car is listed as Skoda Octavia: /vehicle_64531-Skoda-Octavia-1961.html Maybe Octavia or an earlier model 440. Bike - not sure. The shop in the back looks to have a Hungarian or maybe Icelandic name but I'll bet anything this is in Britain. It's a an outdoor set.

I'd go along with R12, looks like a pressed metal frame and you can just see the BMW roundel.

Oorlogswinter

It's a BMW R12 750cc sidevalve twin, built between 1935 and 1942 no Sir, sorry, looks like but is not! it's more an actual Chinese or Russian combination

There a different bikes on these pictures (look at the sign on the front of the sidecar). The main picture and the third on imageshack to me appears to have a pressed steel frame (best visible on the last picture), so that would be a R12. The other bike has a tubular frame and a swingarm and looks more as a R71 or the Russian Ural M72 (or Chinese Chang-Jiang 750, which is copied from the Ural)
in Édith et Marcel
Édith et Marcel

I am not a motorbike expert (where is Jun ), but I think the main picture shows a BMW R 12 (1935-41) while the small pictures show a BMW R 75 (1940-44).

Surely something from BMW, see the frame.

je laisse la main René-Gillet 750, chais plus le modèle exact... Non... C'est pas une René-Gillet. Mais une moto française connue... Laquelle? Alzheimer? Si ça peut t'aider, la police française a été équipée de: Dresch, Gnome et Rhône et Condor (Suisse)... Pour ne citer que les marques (de langue) françaises. Ha il faisait des motos aussi celui-là ? Gnome et Rhône? Ou BMW? Je recherche... Ratier? T'avais pas dis français... It is deffo no BMW. I also think it is a Gnome et Rhone. V 2... De chez Gnome et Rhone: http://www.amicalegnomerhone.net/motos/v2.htm ... à moins d'infos complémentaires... Une autre photo complémentaire, issue ele aussi du site Gnome et Rhône: http://www.amicalegnomerhone.net/phep/phep1.php3 Sorry jp, many details dosen't match to Gnome et Rhone. It's BMW R12 (1935-41 ex.german militaly) http://www.soreg.ch/alpenkraft/galerie/bmw-r12.jpg Link to "www.autowallpaper.de" http://bmwr12.tripod.com/fothist.htm After The W.W.II, number of goverment vehicles were insufficient in France. And they found "C.M.R." (Centre de Montage et de Réparation) in 1947. C.M.R. repaired and supplied many wartime vehicles for the goverment. Gendermerie recieved many ex.German militaly BMW (R12, R71, R75 etc...) C.M.R. changed to C.E.M.E.C. later, and began to supply Cemec. Comme quoi j'avais un doute, hier... Merci Jun! comme toujours!

Thanks jp (I find some videotape, laser-videodisk & broken LD player when large arrangement of a warehouse. and now try to repair the player, may be uproad some movie & TV-movie later )
