Description

Please note: The seller is managing the sale of this collection on behalf of the owner’s estate. He has represented each bike to the best of his ability and will be unable to provide further history or supporting documentation. The bike does not currently run and the seller cannot confirm mechanical condition. He has provided a walk around video and is selling the bike as-is. A local dealership will be providing the Bill of Sale; all fees (with the exception of Iconic’s buyer’s fee) and taxes will be accounted for by the dealer.

Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

Founded in 1919, Garelli is now solely electric but they have a long history with small displacement motorcycles – they even won the 125cc Grand Prix championship every year between 1982 and 1987.

After the war, Garelli focused on manufacturing small scooters and motorcycles like many industrial European companies. One such was the Junior, which meant “Young Adult”, and was produced with essentially the same engine and various levels of trim from 1960 to 1969. The 49cc single was initially paired with a three-speed gearbox producing 1.5hp and by the end of its run the Junior had a four-speed gearbox, produced 5hp, and a claimed 56mph top speed.

This example is VIN: 2387754.

The odometer shows 0.7 kilometers (0.4 miles), however the seller cannot confirm accuracy.

Maintenance:
The seller states, “Not running. The bike has been a display piece for many years and is not in current running condition. Tank has some rust smells of bad fuel but currently empty. Motor turns over and has compression.”

Modifications:
Per the seller, “It is unknown if there were any modifications that were performed by previous or current ownership.”

Inside of the tank:

It is riding on Michelin tires.

There is no key, ignition, or supporting documentation.

Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:
