c.1961 Caproni Capriolo 100 Project
Registration no. not registered
Frame no. C*12224
Engine no. 11380
Named after the roe deer, the Capriolo marque emerged in 1948 from the ashes of the giant Caproni group, formerly one of Italy's largest manufacturing concerns. Caproni had been founded in the 20th Century's first decade as an aircraft manufacturer, and only turned to motorcycle production after WW2. The firm commenced with a 50cc ultra-lightweight before swiftly moving on, in 1951, to a 75cc model, the Capriolo 75, which was notable for its use of a pressed-style frame and a four-stroke engine of the overhead-valve 'face cam' type. Introduced at the beginning of 1961, the '100' version, as seen here, was essentially the same apart from the larger engine. This incomplete Capriolo is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this machine, the history of which is unknown.
