1951 Bianchi 250cc Stelvio Project
Registration no. not registered
Frame no. 85994
Engine no. 85994
Founded in the late 1890s, Bianchi made little impact outside Italy before WW2 despite an innovative approach which saw a team of unitary construction, twin-overhead-cam 350s entered in the 1926 Isle of Man TT. All three finished but disappointingly low down the field, and Bianchi would not return to the Isle of Man until after WW2. Despite its Island setback, Bianchi was a force to be reckoned with in Continental racing with its OHC 350s and 500s well into the 1930s. In the post-war period the company's road range consisted mainly of lightweights. Since being purchased in 2019 at Bonhams Auction of the Morbidelli Museum, the vendor has purchased a new exhaust pipe, silencer, and seat but little else has been done. Offered with a NOVA declaration.
