Founded in the late 1890s, Bianchi made little impact outside Italy before WW2 despite an innovative approach which saw a team of unitary construction, twin-overhead-cam 350s entered in the 1926 Isle of Man TT. All three finished but disappointingly low down the field, and Bianchi would not return to the Isle of Man until after WW2. Despite its Island setback, Bianchi was a force to be reckoned with in Continental racing with its OHC 350s and 500s well into the 1930s, generating valuable publicity that helped sell its more mundane roadsters. In the post-war period the company's road range consisted mainly of lightweights, the mainstay of production being 175cc models like the Tonale. Production of Bianchi motorcycles ceased in 1967, though the firm's Autobianchi division continued to produce cars. This overhead-valve Stelvio is offered as a (believed) partially restored and incomplete project. There are no documents with this Lot.
