Minareli powered
Running order but requires light recommissioning
The Bologna Testi factory started producing 49cc lightweights in 1949, including lightweight motorcycles, mofas, and mini-scooters. In France, Testi models were manufactured by Gitane and sold as Gitane-Testi. In Sweden, they were marketed by Standard under their own name. In Germany, the Horex name was revived to sell a range of stylish Testi-Horex models.
This is a Bologna manufactured Minarelli powered 50cc two-stroke lightweight sports machine. The vendor advises the machine is in running order but requires light recommissioning before use. It presents a good opportunity to acquire a rare machine with that ‘indefinable’ Italian chic! ‘254 XVP’ is UK registered with a V5C Registration Document and a rear number plate (not currently fitted).
