1955 Parilla 175 Sport
The 1955 Parilla 175 Sport is a superb example of mid-century Italian sporting motorcycle design, reflecting Parilla’s reputation for producing refined, high-performance machines with a strong competition pedigree. During the 1950s, Parilla established itself as one of Italy’s most respected marques in the lightweight and middleweight classes, blending advanced engineering with elegant, purposeful styling.
At the heart of the 175 Sport is Parilla’s well-proven 175cc single-cylinder engine, celebrated for its smooth power delivery, mechanical robustness, and sporting character. This example is a matching-numbers machine, presented in perfect working order, and has been prepared and maintained by an Italian Parilla specialist, ensuring mechanical correctness and reliability. Fitted with the correct SS 25 Dell’Orto carburetor, the motorcycle delivers the crisp throttle response and performance expected of a true period sport model.
Adding to its appeal, this Parilla is equipped with a vintage fairing, enhancing both its visual presence and its connection to period road-racing aesthetics. The motorcycle benefits from a new battery and has received a full service prior to shipping, making it ready for immediate enjoyment, display, or historic events.
The bike retains its Siena registration plate and is offered with full documentation, underscoring its authenticity and traceable history. Presented as a complete and original example, it represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a genuine Parilla sport model from the marque’s most desirable era.
With its combination of mechanical integrity, documented provenance, and classic Italian sporting character, the 1955 Parilla 175 Sport is an ideal acquisition for collectors, enthusiasts, or museums seeking a correct and usable example of Italy’s golden age of lightweight performance motorcycles.
