Ercolino was 192 cc, derived from the Galletto engine IIRC.

Hey, my wife suggested we buy a fun vehicle in case I need to rescue my Bassa again - that could be my tow vehicle.

That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

Yes, but "mentalfloss" asked about the Ercolino, not the Ercole.

Great stuff.  Love that solid front wheel.  I assume it is for speed.

The solid wheel is for load carrying, Unless it is headed downhill in Georgia overdrive the top end is 35-40MPH.
The 500cc Ercole is a Hydraulic dump but the 192cc Ercolino is a straight truck (no Dump). The day I bought the Ercole it was loaded with approx 3000 lbs of clay tile and headed up the mountainside in Mandello.

I also have a 50cc Moto Guzzi Furghino truck that spent its entire life in the Mandello Guzzi factory shuttling Guzzi parts.

There is also a 50cc Moto Morini Bagaglino truck that will be listed. The two small trucks will not be running for the auction but are complete to my knowledge.

What are they worth??  That will be known on the 9th of September.

Thanks for looking

Mike
