02Production & history

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

No production figures recorded yet.

History

The Czech article says the Lady was modernised from the Piccolo in 1935, kept the 1,447 cc engine at first, and that few were built and fewer survive. It gives about 5,000 units, of which only 150 had the smaller 70 mm bore and 1,447 cc engine before a 75 mm bore, 1,660 cc engine followed.
