Cimatti was founded in Bologna in 1937 by gold medal-winning Olympic cyclist Marco Cimatti. Not surprisingly, the company manufactured bicycles at first, only turning to powered two-wheelers in 1950. The firm prospered, and its products were widely exported, being sold in the USA through the Gambles department stores. By the mid-1960s the range had expanded to include a motor scooter and a three-wheeled deliver truck in addition to mopeds and lightweights, usually powered by either Moto Morini or Moto Minarelli two-stroke engines. Cimatti survived the 1960s 'Japanese Invasion' but succumbed to the early 1980s recession, closing its doors in 1984. An older restoration by Mr Pirro Loretti, the beautiful Cimatti offered here is a credit to its restorer, all the more so given the poor condition it was in beforehand (see photographs on file). There are no documents with this Lot.
