Daldi and 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 was purchased by the late vendor as an addition to the sports and racing section of his collection which predominantly comprised Italian machinery. Not much is known about the bike, it has not been started during the current ownership and will need some light decommissioning before use.
