At the height of their fame, Moto Gilera of Milan, headed by Ing. Giuseppe Gilera, produced the famous and fearsome Gilera 'Fire-engine' four-cylinder racers campaigned by Saint Helens, Lancashire-born Geoff Duke, amongst others. This racing DNA rubbed off on to all of their machines. Produced from 1952-1960, the 150 Sport was one of Gilera’s most successful offerings that appealed to younger sportsmen and small-bore racers. Arguably, one of the prettiest motorcycles to come out of Italy at the time, it was notorious for having a pedestrian-slicing' 'Gilera'-emblazoned fin atop the front mudguard. Powered by a 150cc 4-stroke single overhead valve 7.5hp engine, linked to a 4-speed transmission and dry clutch, it would, reportedly, propel the bike to c.58mph.
Restored by the previous owner to a good standard, this Gilera 150 Sport has formed part of a private collection of motorcycles. There is a large box file full of paperwork relating to the Gilera. We have been advised by the vendor the Gilera is indeed 'running well', despite being little used. An opportunity to own a lovely Italian machine with a strong marque pedigree, it comes complete with a current V5C and various paperwork.
