Daldi e Luigi Matteucci established a small company in 1919 in Milan named Società Anonima Daldi which built automotive parts. In 1928 the company name changed to Officine Meccaniche Daldi and Matteucci and finally, in 1939, to DEMM, an acronym for ‘Daldi and Matteucci Milan’. In 1952 Demm began building mopeds and light motorcycles and subsequently, in 1956 Demm established 24 world speed records in the 50cc class; this was followed by more competition success in the sixties, winning the Italian 50cc championship with their DOHC machine.
This Demm racing 50cc special has formed part of a private collection of mainly Italian motorcycles. It was purchased by the late vendor as part of the sports and race collection of machines. Not much is known about the machine, it has not been started since ownership and will need some light decommissioning before use.
