Definitely has an eastern European look to it. They had a habit of changing names from year to year and for different markets.

The front brake looks quite Jawa-like.

Late 1950s / mid 1960s ?

is it so important to know the exact year of your machine?

from the look of the engine side covers, the finning of the cylinder and the form of the fuel tank I'd say it once started life as a model TLT from 1956/57....
BUT: the front forks are heavily modified and/or from a later model; the front wheel is from a later T5; the rear wheel, the front and rear mudguards, the solo seat, the twin rear shock absorbers, the tail light and the silencers are certainely not Pannonia; and the side boxes and chain case are missing altogether.

add to this the fact that you obviously do not have matching papers for it - is the year still so important?

if you still want to know: give engine and chassis numbers and I will see what I can tell from that!

Andy

P.S.: Where in the world are you?
