c.1963 Benelli 3V Sprint, 48cc. Registration number not registered. Frame number CES 103476. Engine number not found.There is no paperwork with this lot, apart from an original owners manual.In 1921 the first real Benelli motorcycle appeared , the “Velomotore”, a 98cc two stroke lightweight bike presented in two models, Touring and Sport. Post WWII the Benelli brothers retrieved about 1000 military motorcycles - mainly of English origin – left in the battlefields by the allies into bikes for civilian use. 1947 was also the year when the racing activities were resumed.By the 1960's a wide range of models were produced by Benelli-Motobi, from scooters to the ‘Tornado’, a maxi bike 2-cylinder 650cc. In 1972 the company was bought by the Argentinean entrepreneur Alejandro De Tomaso. The 50cc was a fiercely contested market in Italy, the 3V Sprint being one of the premium machines.This example appears to be a very restored example, ready to grace any collection.
