1962 Mondial 200cc Prototype
Engine no. 0234

At the request of Officine Rossetti (OFMER), Mondial's chief mechanic Nerio Biavati extensively modified a Mondial 175 Turismo Veloce to make the unique creation offered here. He radically altered the frame and made important changes to the engine: replacing the carburettor and fitting special cams and piston, oversized valves, and a dry clutch. This restored machine was formerly part of the Enrico Bernardi Museum collection. Please note that the engine number appears to have been restamped. 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.
