1959 Mondial 250cc Super Sport
Frame no. 3961
Engine no. 3961

Apparently highly original, this Mondial sports roadster was supplied new by Nello Salvarani of Parma and carries the firm's plaque on the front mudguard. The machine also has a 1974 tax disc attached and retains what appears to be its original transfers and seat upholstery. The large Jaeger rev counter set into the fuel tank is another interesting feature. The machine is presented in Milan-Taranto specification and has never been repainted. 1 key. No documents.

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.

Cette Mondial de sport, qui semble très authentique, a été vendue neuve à Parme par Nello Salvarani. Elle comporte sa plaque constructeur sur le garde-boue avant ; elle est également munie de sa vignette fiscale de 1974 et est toujours équipée de ce qui semble être ses autocollants et son garnissage de selle d'origine. Autre caractéristique intéressante, son grand compte-tours Jaeger fixé au réservoir. Cette moto se présente dans sa version Milan-Tarente et n'a jamais été repeinte. 1 clé. Pas de documents.

De même que tous les lots de cette vente, ce lot est vendu 'en l'état et à l'endroit où il se trouve' et les enchérisseurs doivent en vérifier la provenance, l'état, l'âge, la complétude et l'authenticité avant d'enchérir.
