After WW2 Benelli turned to making clip-on engines for cycles and then a complete proper motorcycle. In 1949, Guiseppe Benelli left to found his own Moto 'B' Pesaro (Motobi) company, introducing a two-stroke lightweight with horizontal-cylinder that would spawn a whole range of larger single- and twin-cylinder 'strokers', all retaining the horizontal engine layout. Guiseppe changed direction in 1956, introducing 125 and 175cc models powered by overhead-valve, four-stroke, single-cylinder engines that kept the horizontal layout and integrated egg-shaped styling of the two-strokes; 200cc and 250cc versions were introduced later. Following Guiseppe's death, Motobi returned to the Benelli family fold, resulting in Motobi's four-strokes being marketed as Benellis from the mid-1960s onwards. This Motobi-style Benelli 250 Sport Special displays a total of 34,187 kilometres on the odometer and is believed cosmetically restored. There is no import paperwork with this Lot. The vendor has had the machine running recently.
