Founded in 1937, Moto Morini initially built two-stroke lightweights before developing a range of fast four-stroke roadsters during the 1950s. The Tressette was the last in the line of singles, named after popular Italian card games; earlier machines being Settebello (Beautiful 7) and Briscola (Trumps). The Tresette (Three 7s) produced a respectable 10hp from its single cylinder engine. The pinnacle of development was the Tresette Sprint with higher compression and a sports carburettor to increase the power to 13bhp and a top speed of 130kph. Most Tresette’s had an attractive small fly screen and dropped handlebars, proving popular in contemporary Italian “Moto Giro “ events.

This beautiful 1958 Tresette Sprint was lovingly restored by an Italian bike specialist and has completed zero miles since restoration. Offered from the estate of a local collector, the bike comes without documentation or keys, is not currently UK registered and so will be sold on a bill of sale.
