$9.95

A superb and rare photo of the start of the 1963 500cc Grand Prix of the Netherlands,a.k.a. the Dutch T.T.,which was ridden in 1963.

Gilera wasfounded by Giuseppe Gilera in the Northern Italian town of Arcore, close to thecity of Milan, in 1909. In1935 Gilera acquired rights to the Rondine four-cylinder engine. This formedthe basis for Gileras four cylinder racing machines nearly forty years. Fromthe mid-thirties Gilera developed a range of four-stroke engine machines. Theengines ranged from 100 to 500cc. The most famous of which was the 1939Saturno. After World War II, Gilera dominated Grand Prix motorcycle racing, winningthe 500cc road racing world championship 6 times in 8 years. Facing a downturnin motorcycle sales due to the increase in the popularity of automobiles afterthe war, Gilera made a gentleman\'s agreement with the other Italian motorcyclemakers to quit Grand Prix racing after the 1957 season as a cost cuttingmeasure. In 1969 the company was purchased by the Piaggio & Co. SpA --which now holds six marques and is the world\'s fourth largest motorcyclemanufacturer. In 1992, Gilera made a return to the Grand Prix arena and Piaggiocontinues to produce small-displacement motorcycles with the Gilera name. Gilera World Championships:
