FCB Lambretta 125 engine 1950. Fratelli Comerio Busto Arsizio. Small racing car for young people. Apparently only 12 made.

That's it, a little racer built by Comerio brothers and powered by a Lambretta engine.
1 of them still exists.
What is FCB?
Point for you!

F.C.B. is of course Fratelli Comerio Busto Arsizio.
I have found an advertising page in a rare magazine called Motor Scooter e piccole cilindrate dated July 1950.
Microvettura da corsa F.C.B. cmc 125
Engine Innocenti,
Gearbox 3 speed
Track 104 cm.
Wheelbase 174 cm.

There is at least another one nearly complete in Northern Italy.. I know for sure because I helped a friend buying one in the 1980'.

So the correct title should be F.C.B. Microvettura 125cc, right?
