Easily the most mysterious machine in a collection packed with rare delights, this Coma motor scooter does not appear in Dregni & Dregni's Illustrated Motor Scooter Buyer's Guide, nor in Erwin Tragatsch's The Illustrated History of Motorcycles. Indeed, we cannot even be sure of whether the name applies to the model or the manufacturer. The machine is styled along typically Italian lines, though the deeply valanced front mudguard wrapping around the leading link fork is an unusual feature. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, it affords the prospect of hours of researching fun for the next owner. There are no documents with this Lot.

Footnotes

As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
