i found at Trad-Tex these two "Automoto" jerseys:

they have two beige Automoto turtleneck sweaters, one with a larger, the other one with a smaller "Hutchinson" logo:

small: http://www.trad-tex.com/Trad-Tex/AGB_-_Versand/Continental/Auto_Hutchinson/auto_hutchinson.html

large: http://www.trad-tex.com/Trad-Tex/AGB_-_Versand/Continental/Auto_Hut__m__Strich/auto_hut__m__strich.html

they also have a more "modern" woolen Automoto jersey with front side pockets that is in a color that appears to be a very bright purple: http://www.trad-tex.com/Trad-Tex/AGB_-_Versand/AuTo-MoTo/auto-moto.html

so you mean this might be the proper color? the shirt design seems to me to hint at the 30ies too, whereas the white/beige sweaters are more a thing coorect for a bike from 1910-1920ies... am i right here?
