Leopoldo Mila an original vehicle designed from a bent plate shaped inverted "U" around which the different elements are arranged. The front also made with bent sheet. The engine was placed well back and side covers are performed for easy access to some major engine parts such as spark plug and the carburettor. One of the most interesting features offered by this model was the restraint of the seats, which were on metal guides and secured by brackets that allow adjusting the distance of the seat to the handlebar. You could even set up a third seat in the guides or spare wheel. Two prototypes were built, one of which was the 1958 Geneva Motor Show where it caused surprise by the simplicity of their solutions.
