Title: Gilera Mini-thumper
Post by: Rossco500 on December 04, 2017, 11:50:17 PM

I couldn't resist this Gilera Arcore Special. Picked it up at the weekend along with a box of bits and a spare engine. The previous owner built it and used it off-road on his many trips to the TT and Manx and is a credit to him. 150ccs of sheer power!! Apparently less than 100 came into the UK in 125 and 150 formats during the 1970s. Quite popular in Italy I believe. I know of a few of them over here. The other photo shows the standard bike (which is now in several large lumps awaiting reassembly!).

Regards

Tony
