1951 Garelli Mosquito 38A Cycle-Attachment fitted to a 1948 Rudge-Whitworth DeLuxe Sports Tourist Bicycle (Model 124L)

This is a good pairing: the Mosquito engine is a reliable unit, and the Rudge has a well-built frame that’s ideal for motorization.

Frame number: 139753R

Engine number: 437822

Engine made in Italy

It’s not registered, so if you want to use it on the road, you’ll need to join the NACC, apply for a dating certificate (£7), and pay DVLA £50 to get a registration number allocated.

This Mosquito 38A is fitted to a Rudge-Whitworth that’s in superb original ‘time-warp’ condition.

I MOT’d it in 2007, so that MOT is now expired. It has not run since last summer, but it should start up with only the minimum servicing required, and will pass a new MOT.

The Mosquito enjoys a good reputation for reliability and power. The engine was rebuilt (by the previous owner).
