Saroléa 32U
Historie dvoutaktních Saroléa v Československu je poněkud tajemná. V krizových třicátých letech s téměř 100% dovozovým clem bylo skoro nemožné prosadit se zde s malým zahraničním dvoutaktem. Není mi známo, zda v ČSR byl prodán nějaký dvoutakt Saroléa. Nejsou žádné dokumenty, fotografie... Na druhou stranu, v Motor Revue vyšel článek popisující mj. Saro dvoutakty a mám ceník pro rok 1934, kde jsou uvedeny modely U a UL. Jestliže gen. zástupce Formánek po dva roky nabízel dvoutakty, předpokládám, že něco prodat musel. Z tohoto důvodu jsem se mnoho let snažil dostat dvoutaktní Saroléa do ČR. Také pro porovnání s čsl. dvoutakty. A nyní je dvoutaktní Saro konečně v Praze - po 86 letech! Koupeno v Belgii, v únoru 2018. Výrobní číslo naznačuje, že by se mělo jednat o v pořadí 64 vyrobenou dvoutaktní Saroléa. Přesný počet vyrobených kusů není znám, podle výrobních čísel jich odhaduji maximálně 600. Bude na něm jezdit má choť, už si pořídila nové stylové motocyklové botky.
Two stroke Saroléa history in Czechoslovakia is little bit mysterious. In the crisis thirties with almost 100% import duty was hard to sell a utility lightweight in CSR. I don´t know whether any of two stroke Saroléa was sold in Czechoslovakia. There are no documents, photos ... nothing. On the other hand, there was an article from period magazine about two stroke Saroléa and I have price list from 1934 with models U and UL. If dealer had been offered for two years two stroke models, something must been sold, I supposed. For that reason I am trying for many years get some bike like this to the Czech republic. Also to compare with Czechoslovak two strokes. And now there is two stroke Saroléa in Prague - after 86 years! Bought in Belgium in February 2018. The serial number indicates that this is the 64th made two-stroke Saroléa. The exact number of produced pieces is unknown, according to their production numbers, I estimate a maximum of 600. It will be ride by my wife - yesterday she has bought new motorcycles boots.
