• Rare mono-shock 350cc two-stroke trials machine
• Just 4 examples thought to have been imported into the UK
• Supplied with a current V5C

Founded by Leopoldo Tartarini in 1959, Italjet was renowned for its sporty motorcycles and Leo himself was a famous racer with many victories in events such as the Giro D'Italia and the Milano Taranto. He poured all of his sporting experience into developing his own brand of motorcycle and in 1965 the Vampire 60 was launched, an eye-catching racer built especially for competition use. Eventually becoming better known for off-road models, they made the occasional road bike, such as the 350cc 'Hare and Hounds' model. This had a two-stroke engine based on their trials bike with mono-shock rear suspension aimed at the dual-purpose on/off-road market.

This rare example of Italjet's 350 trail bike is presented in an original unrestored condition, with just a credible 460 miles (c.740km) on its speedo, perhaps supported by the tyres showing very little wear. Only around 4 examples were thought to have been imported into the UK. Not much is known of its history and it has been part of a small private collection for some while, however, the bike has obviously seen very little use and would make an interesting talking point at any classic bike show or event. Not run recently, it will require recommissioning before use, but is offered with a current V5C.
