Original International News Photos press photograph / press layout sheet showing Piero Taruffi’s “twin-bullet bike” speed-record machine in Rome, Italy. The attached press caption describes the ultra-modern motorcycle specially built for Taruffi and states that he set new world records for the five kilometers and five miles.
The sheet includes two views of the twin-bullet motorcycle: a head-on view with Taruffi at the controls and a rear view showing the stabilizing vanes used at high speed. Reverse bears the International News Photos stamp. Original caption sheet is present but aged and fragile.
Excellent historical motorsport / motorcycle / land-speed record item connected to Piero Taruffi, Italian speed-record engineering, and postwar experimental record vehicles. Sold as shown.
Condition: original vintage press item with age toning, handling wear, edge/corner wear, creasing, tears, old tape/residue, caption sheet wear, and reverse stamp. Please review all photos carefully.
