Malanca was an Italian motorcycle manufacturer whose founder, Mario Malanca, started by building mechanical parts and hubs for motorcycle wheels before producing his first complete design in 1956. Successful in Italy, they went on to produce machines for both the Asian and American markets. Initially engines were supplied by Franco Morini, but in 1960 Malanca built a new factory and started producing their own. In 1973 the first 125cc twin cylinder model debuted at the Paris Motor Show. In 1978 Mario's son, Marco, was appointed CEO, and thereafter production focused mainly on 125cc models. After moped sales in Italy peaked in 1980 a gradual decline set in and Malanca began to produce larger-engined bikes. The company struggled, however, as it had spent much of its time and resources on the 125cc scooters as well as researching and developing the smaller 50cc-engined bikes for both racing and regular sales and would eventually fold in 1986.

Little is know about this charming little Sport 50 but it is thought to be complete and was run when in the possession of the previous owner to the vendor. Offered without reserve.
