Beschreibung
This is Lot 202 in the Bonhams Spring Stafford Sale on April 20th & 21st, please see the Bonhams website for full details.
Named after the roe deer, the Capriolo marque emerged in 1948 from the ashes of the giant Caproni group, formerly one of Italy's largest manufacturing concerns. Presented in ISDT specification, the machine offered here represents the revised version of the Capriolo 125, introduced in 1959, which, like the contemporary Capriolo 75, featured a new single-cylinder four-stroke engine with 'face cam' valve operation.
Carrying competitor number '5' and a tax disc that expired in April 1966, this rare Italian sports motorcycle is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this Lot; however, the registration 'YVB 792' is recorded in the HPI database. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to that registration's validity prior to bidding. The successful purchaser will be responsible for re-registering the motorcycle.
