1951 NEW MAP ROLUX 25050 series Testimony to the microcar epic Same owner for 26 years French registration This lot is sold by designation and will not be exhibited at the show. 2 000 / 3 000€ New Map is a brand launched in the early 20s by Etablissement Paul Martin when they wanted to enter the motorcycle market. At the end of the '30s, they decided to enter the automotive market, and in particular the small car market. They launched the Rolux. The workshops are in Lyon, at New Map. The Rolux we're selling is one of the last to be produced, having been sold in 1951. In a very attractive two-tone configuration, this little car is right up to date (just look at the success of Citroën's little AMI). Stopped a few years ago, it's just waiting to get back on the road. All the vehicles in the Rollet collection have been off the road for at least 5 years, so they'll need to be put back on the road. All the vehicles in the Rollet collection have been out of service for at least 5 years, and will need to be recommissioned 1951 NEW MAP ROLUX 25050 series Testimony to the microcar epic Same owner for 26 years French registration New Map was launched in the early '20s by Etablissement Paul Martin, who wanted to enter the motorcycle market.
