Founded by Mario Malanca, Malanca produced small engine performance motorcycles and mopeds from 1956 to 1986. The second series of the Malanca Competizione arrived in 1969. The aesthetics appeared completely renewed thanks to a new and slender tank with a modern design, with the fuel cap moved towards the rear, new saddle and toolbox and telescopic fork with internal springs. The vehicle was able to easily exceeded the top speed of its rivals, making it a force to be reckoned with on the racetrack in the 50cc series.
From 1968 to 1974, the Malanca was prolific in competition and won six Italian championships with this model.
Showing just 1 kilometer from new, this extremely rare and highly original, race ready, time capsule example was unearthed from a California barn and features a factory equipped racing transmission, rear sets and clip on handle bars with performance levers.
