The Lodola was Carlo Guzzi’s final design, released to the public for 1956. It was powered by a 175cc SOHC engine mounted in sloper style in a duplex loop frame, which gave reasonable performance in a characteristically Italian handling package. In 1959 the model was enlarged to 235cc, becoming the Lodola Gran Turismo, which, as the name would suggest, allowed two-up 70mph touring of the Italian countryside and beyond.
Having been on static display in the MotoTalbott Museum in Carmel, California for some time, the bike has been re-commissioned to ready it for sale, but further fettling may be necessary before returning it to regular Tuscan-touring use.
