Description
c. 1952 Gilera 150 Tourismo Frame Number: 4234 Engine Number: 19-1557 Recorded Mileage: TBA In the early 50s, new regulations in Italy allowed access to motorways for motorcycles with a minimum capacity of 150cc, so Gilera upgraded its 125 to 150cc. The 150 presented in 1952 became Gilera’s best selling motorcycle, ever with 96, 000 units produced. The 150 was what the public wanted, and Gilera responded with the introduction of the Gran Turismo in 1955, followed by the Super Sport and Super Red in 1957. This lovely example was lovingly restored by an Italian bike specialist but never used on the road, having being kept in a private collection. Having not run for some years, the bike will require light commissioning. Offered from the estate of a local collector, the bike comes without documentation or keys, is not currently UK registered and so will be sold on a bill of sale. This classic vehicle will be coming to auction with Dore & Rees Auctions on Saturday 22nd June. For further information please contact the Motoring department.
