Standort: Gassmann GmbH in Bovenden (PLZ 37120), Alte Bundesstraße 48, Frame no. 25-8290 Engine no. 5777 Its factory in ruins, Benelli took time to re-establish itself after WW2. Fortunately, the racing machines had been hidden away and survived intact, providing Benelli with a springboard from which to renew its Grand Prix campaign. Rivals Moto Guzzi secured the first post-war 250cc World Championship in 1949, but Benelli struck back the following year when Dario Ambrosini became World Champion at the end of a season that included wins in Switzerland, Italy and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Ambrosini's death in 1951 effectively put an end to Benelli's international efforts and it would be 1959 before the firm returned to the Grand Prix scene. The machine offered here represents a rare opportunity to acquire a racing motorcycle from one of Italy's premier marques, presented in restored condition.
