Description
c.1952 Gilera Saturno Sport 500cc Chassis no. Not specified Engine no. 26595.. No registration certificate No roadworthiness certificate The Saturno was launched in 1940, but it was in the following decade that it truly came into its own. Built around a 500 cm³ four-stroke single-cylinder engine with overhead camshaft, it represents the very best that Gilera – founded in Arcore in 1909 by Giuseppe Gilera – had to offer in terms of road machinery. A simple, robust design with proven reliability, complemented by lines of timeless elegance that have earned the machine a reputation far beyond Italy’s borders. The Sport version is the most sought-after model in the Saturno range. The model on display brings together the machine’s most characteristic and appealing features: the large red fuel tank adorned with the Gilera emblem; the exposed aluminium cylinder head, a visual and technical hallmark of an era when mechanical engineering was proudly on display; the raked single-cylinder engine, the spring-loaded single-seat saddle, and the wraparound mudguards, whose generous curves complete a silhouette of absolute harmony, not to mention the upgraded front fork for improved stability.  A rare find, a machine whose mere presence is enough to silence conversation.
