Revitalised following its take-over in 1971 by Argentine industrialist Alejandro de Tomaso, Benelli launched a range of new four- and six-cylinder sports bikes. First of these Honda-inspired machines was the 500 Quattro of 1974, which despite its Oriental-looking power unit was thoroughly Italian in all other respects, boasting a rigid cradle frame, powerful Grimeca drum brakes and alloy wheel rims. Smallest of the range was the 250 (actually 231cc) Quattro which, when deliveries commenced in 1979, was the most expensive 250 on sale in Britain. Stunningly styled and built like a watch, the high-revving lightweight had a top speed of over 90mph. Acquired for the collection in 2004, the Quattro offered here comes with a factory workshop manual; some expired MoTs; a V5C document; and an HPI check sheet. It should be noted that the latter records the machine as an insurance write-off.
