Cool. Looks like there a a few variants of the Dingo. That looks to be the Dingo Cross.

I have a 1969 Mario Colombo book that shows that bike.   Sort of "badge engineered" like Aermacchi did for Harley, I suppose, quickest way to get a popular little trail bike into your lineup. 

Looks like a nice little machine.   Will probably be bought by someone who got one for Christmas in 1970 and still remembers the thrill of smelling that two-stroke oil when it fired up ....

Having gone back and looked at my reference book, I'm probably wrong in the assumption that this was a Benelli or Garelli engine and a Guzzi decal on the tank.    Guzzi was still making their own two-strokes then, I think, although they had been bought by SEIMM a couple years back ...

Maybe you can even still get parts and a service manual, who knows ... ?   There seem to be a lot of them in Holland, maybe they've got all that ....
