Description
1958 Itom 50 cc
Reg. no. XEL 104
Frame no. 4514015
Engine no. 12663415
The Itom factory was founded in Turin by lawyer Corrado Corradi, and he began production in 1948 at Via Francesco Millio, moving later to S.Ambrogio Torinese. Inspired by Ducati importers Britax, 50cc racing began in the UK in 1955 but it did not really take hold until the late 1950s, when the availability of the quick and relatively inexpensive Italian Itom Competizione made the class viable. Indeed, the two-stroke Itom was the machine to have at the time, for it dominated the class in Britain and provided a number of future stars, most notably Mike Hailwood, Dave Simmonds and Bill Ivy, with their first taste of circuit racing. Little is known of the history of this machine, it is offered as part of a private collection, having been stored for some years without use. It is sold with a V5c, an old V5, its original buff logbook and an old MOT from 1973.
