- We purchased this lovely and rare Maserati motorcycle in December 2007 from a classic car dealer in Hamburg. Germany. It is now sadly for sale due to our purchase of another Maserati motorcycle.
- According to the original Certificate of Origin from Maserati that we have. this Maserati motorcycle was sold new in Milan on July 26th 1956 and licensed as MI-253056. The purchaser was Signore Alfonso Villa from the town of Lesmo. just north of Monza. and he enjoyed his rare motorcycle until December 1982 when he cancelled its registration and placed it in storage.
- In July 1992 Signore Villa sold the Maserati to a Giuseppe Genazzini of central Milan. It is not known how long Signore Genazzini retained the Maserati for but in October 2002 it was registered for road use in Hamburg. Germany. The registered owner was a Volker Weber who had purchased the motorcycle from a friend of his. We contacted Mr Weber in December 2013 and he informed us that the motorcycle had been acquired by a friend of his "in a package of parts for old Alfa Romeo in Italy. "
- The Maserati was road registered in the UK by us in January 2008.
- It is unknown when this motorcycle was restored although it would have been some time ago. The condition is very good. and in some places it has the appearance of being wonderfully original. with just a few minor marks present in a some places. We have enjoyed riding this Maserati on several occasions during our six years of ownership and it has always started and run extremely well.
- This is a very rare and special motorcycle that is fortunate to still possess its original certificate of manufacture from Maserati along with its original chassis plate. Italian registration book. and licence plate. Rarely do Maserati motorcycles come to the market. and rarely are they so original.
