Gilera took the racing world by storm in the late thirties with their overhead camshaft four-cylinder machines. The multi-cylinder design was at odds with the factory's general fare of large single-cylinder mounts. Post-WWII they continued with the production of singles, but in 1949 introduced a 124cc OHV model more in keeping with the demands of the austerity of post-war Italy. With innovative swinging-arm suspension, the little machine was nippy, handled well, and was inevitably used in competition in a variety of disciplines, including scrambles and enduro events. This example of the 124 in Enduro trim is part of this private collection, and appears to be an older restoration which is now in need of some re-commissioning. Whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown. There are no documents present, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
