Benotto
Salve Sono in possesso di una motocicletta su cui c'è attaccato l'etichetta "fabbriche Italiana biciclette benotto Torino" . Non so di quale modello si tratti né Come poter risalire a quale modello è. Comunque è dotato sia di targa che di numero di telaio. Potete aiutarmi?
Hi I am in possession of a motorcycle on which there is attached the label "factories Italian bicycles Turin benotto". I do not know what model it is nor how to be able to trace which model it is. However it is equipped with both a number plate and a chassis number. Can you help me?
