• Notes:
  Named after Giovanni Parrilla, he built his first motorcycle in 1946, for some reason dropping one of his surname’s ‘r’ to call the machine a Parilla. The first Parilla motorcycle - a 250cc overhead-camshaft single-cylinder racer - was the work of engineer Giuseppe Salmaggi, who already had the Gilera Saturno to his credit. The Milan-based firm went on to build a range of lightweight machines using two-stroke and four-stroke engines. Production of road and race (corse) models began in 1947 and in 1954 the company introduced the high-camshaft model for which it is best remembered. In 1962 Giovanni sold the company to a holding company, which eventually ceased in a recession in Italy in 1967. This example is a dealer’s leftover stock, and has never been registered or used and is presented in ‘like new’ condition. There are no documents with this lot and its not been started in at least 3 years.
