Founded in the late 1890s, Bianchi made little impact outside Italy before WWII despite an innovative approach that saw a team of unitary construction, twin-overhead-cam 350s entered in the 1926 Isle of Man TT, the design having first appeared in 1924. In the post-war period the company's road range consisted mainly of lightweights, the mainstay of production being 175cc models like the Tonale. Below the Tonale in the pecking order were various two-stroke lightweights such as this 125cc Bianchina, which looks very much like Bianchi's equivalent of the BSA Bantam. With 5.5bhp on tap and weighing 70kg (154lb), the pretty little Bianchina had a top speed of 80km/h (50mph). This Bianchina is believed un-restored, although the engine has very little compression. Imported at date unknown, the machine is offered with a photocopy ACI document listing the Italian registration 'AT 8504'; however, there is no import paperwork with this machine. The vendor has had the machine running recently.
