Garelli was founded in Italy in 1919 by Adalberto Garelli to manufacture various vehicles such as bicycles and scooters. The company became better known in 1961 after acquiring Agrati and introducing the Capri scooter, which was manufactured in Monticello until 1978. In 1984, Garelli expanded further by taking over the Kreidler company in Kornwestheim. Until 1986, the Flory, Flirt and Flott moped models were assembled there under the Kreidler emblem, however, the plant was shut down shortly afterwards, which led to Garelli temporarily withdrawing from the German market. In spring, 2006, Paolo Berlusconi, brother of the famous Silvio Berlusconi, took over the rights to the Garelli name. The first product to be launched under his ægis was the 50cc Mosquito scooter, a tribute to Garelli's biggest sales success to date. In connection with this, other models such as the Capri, Ciclone and Vip were added, but their production was relocated to China. Nevertheless, these new models continued to be distributed viâ the old Garelli plant in Italy.

This Garelli Capri has formed part of a private motorcycle collection for many years. It has not been used in the present ownership, nor has it been used much at all – the odometer shows only 1,141 miles from new. It will therefore require recommissioning before use. There are no documents with this lot.
