Giovanni Parilla was a British motorcycle enthusiast as a boy, and it was a natural that his motorcycles were sporting and resembled the bikes of his childhood dreams.

Gran Sport

1960 Parilla Gran Sport

The similarity to the Manx Norton is evident in the color and striping of the gas tank. Production road racing, on public highways, was very popular in Italy, and the grand sport was a very competitive machine in the 175 cc category, virtually a road racer with street equipment.
