[...]it was in the early 70s, Chanel needed to get there stuff faster from Paris to Germany. They decided to gave the old horse a small update to make shure the Chanel Luxury material will still delivered in style but even in the speed of the younger generation. This was the time, when they decide to gave the 2110ccm more air to breath with the litte help from a growing company from Germany = Theo Decker Essen (TDE). They gave them a call and a week later the (the Deutsche Post wasn´t that fast back then) two single 34PICT and a Bosch 010 found there new home in the back of the Dove Blue Delivery Van.

Thanks to those little helpers the Girl was now able to cuise easely with her little younger friends in traffic and she delivered the stuff "just in Time" each time..

Therefor she got, as a medal of honor, his little luxury ring around the speedo, where it still is after all these years[...]
