ISO 125
The ISO 125 was manufactured by an Italian car and motorbike manufacturer that has been active in the motor vehicle industry since 1938. The company has taken on various names over the years, including Isothermos, Iso Autoveicoli Spa (1952), Iso Rivolta (1962), Iso Motors (1973) with a return to ISO Rivolta in 2017.
Following the Second World War, they began to build motorcycles, scooters, and three-wheeled transport vehicles. Among their most famous creations are the Furetto and Grifo Rivolta, considered expensive, but very durable and extremely well-built.
Eventually becoming known for producing beautiful and powerful sports cars, ISO also produced the Isomoto, a machine that delightfully blended motorcycle styling with the 125cc powertrain of the heavier ISO Scooter, considered as one of the best models at the time and equipped with a twin-cylinder engine inspired by the 125 Puch.
The Isomoto’s split single-cylinder design gave the engine a very impressive performance for its era, producing 6.7bhp at 5,200rpm. It also featured interchangeable 12-inch wheels as well as a swingarm rear suspension. While ISO was an Italian brand, this particular model was built under licence in Spain, where it was also first registered.
In addition to the Isomoto, the company’s success inspired it to add new versions and models such as the Isocarro, ISO GT, ISO Sport and ISO Ciclo.
In 1957, following the development of a project for Maserati, the company replaced the now obsolete ISO 125 with a newer model, ISO F/150, sporting more compliant lines that certainly did not disappoint expectations and remained in production until 1962, when the ISO company limited its range to solely producing cars.

Montesa Indiana
Founded by Pedro Permanyer Puigjaner, Montesa began as a small workshop in the province of Barcelona. Permanyer, born in Barcelona in 1911, was a huge fan of anything mechanical and, after the Spanish Civil War, he started up Construcciones Mecánicas, a company that specialised in installing gasifiers in lorries and cars.
A gasifier was a type of low-cost gas fuel generator designed to help make up for the shortage of petrol in Spain after the war had ended. His ingenuity and keen interest in meeting people’s needs during times of scarcity became one of the hallmarks of Permanyer’s many projects.
In 1944, as Spain started to recover its trade activity following one of the darkest periods in history, there was a clear need for inexpensive forms of transport and, following the example of Soichiro Honda in Japan, Permanyer decided to start building bicycle engines.
After learning about Permanyer’s idea and seeing the opportunity to grow it into a much larger business, Francisco Bultó agreed to manufacture motorbikes with him. This was certainly no easy task given the shortage of materials at the time, so they decided to base their models on a bike that was already on the market: the Motobécane B1V2.
This way they could use various parts from an existing bike and manufacture the rest in Barcelona. The first prototype would later lead in 1945 to the manufacture of the A45, the first ever Montesa model, a 98cc bike with a single-cylinder two stroke engine and a three-speed, manual gearbox.
As the company started unveiling new models, growth became exponential and by 1950 demand had grown to such levels that production was moved to a large warehouse. The impact of motor sports also contributed to the brand’s visibility and Montesa became the first Spanish manufacturer ever to present at the Geneva Motor Show in 1953.

Moto Guzzi Dingo
Originally located in Barcelona between 1948 and 1972 and then in Seville until 1979, Moto Guzzi Hispania was the Spanish division of the Italian motorcycle producer Moto Guzzi.
The company was Founded by Óscar Ravá, a Jew of Italian origin who was forced to flee to Catalonia during the second World War. Previously the managing director of Fiat, he opened a car dealership for Lancia and over time also began to sell Rabasa bikes. In 1948, he decided to break into the motorcycle market and came to an agreement with Moto Guzzi to start production in Spain.
Ravá put together an ingenious decentralised production system which allowed him to manufacture anything from bicycle frames to aircraft engines.
The concept was a success, and the first model Guzzi 65 emerged using his innovative manufacturing method. More than 100,000 units of the bike were eventually produced, and it ended up becoming the company’s bestselling motorcycle.
Another model that also achieved tremendous market success was the Guzzi 98, a motorcycle (or scooter with high wheels) that, due to its simplicity and cost effectiveness, was in production almost without any changes until 1963, when it was evolved and replaced with the Lario 110.
In 1959, the first evolution of the first Guzzi 65 models was launched. Named Cardellino, it featured a 73cc engine with enhanced power and a more robust frame that allowed for two people to comfortable ride on the bike.
At the turn of the decade, modifications to state laws forced the company to reduce the engine capacity from 65cc to 49cc and include a pedal. These changes were not well received by the market and, to counter the decline in sales, a new line of Dingo was launched sporting 49cc and 75 cc engines, with an upgraded modern look. The new bikes revived the company’s dwindling success and ensured sales up to the mid-70s.
In 1972, Moto Guzzi re-located to Sevilla where it existed until 1979, when a break with the parent company took place. In 1980, the business transformed into Motorhispania, dedicating its production to motorcycles with an engine of its own design, created by Franco Morini.
