Lovely bit of Italian design flair there. I didn't know they made bikes either, but I always loved the name Maserati Bora. Interestingly (well probably not actually) in the 1930s there was a brand of tea called Mazewatea. My mum used to drink it and I have seen old advertising posters for it though I may have spelled it wrong.

There's a very similar looking bike in a local bike collection called a Ferrari! There might even be a Maserati as well. I think they made tractors as well, or is that Lamborghini 😀
