Hi I’m a new member and have just bought a Gilera project with the intention of getting it back on the road.

Could you help me identify the bike I have purchased . Frame number is 1816059 and engine number is 18110651


Thanks Mark

Hello and welcome

i'm not very used to thsi old Gilera stuff ;)
My hand written, italian list says for the code 181 (as far as i can read it)
Sport (Arcore?) 1/53 to April 54

Somehow the 2 rear dampers look newer ;)
Maybe you should wait for someone who knows better than me ;)

ciao Joachim

Thanks Joachim

Do you know if a sport will have a 150 engine or could it be 125 ?

Regards Mark

Hi Joachim

I’ve now got the information I need from the Gilera register in Italy. The bike is a 1953/54 150 sport, the engine is not the original but is correct for the bike.

Thanks Mark
