The second generation of Parilla motorcycles - known as the 'high-cam' (camme rialzata) - debuted at the Milan Show in 1952 in the form of the Fox roadster. This was a 175cc single, built in Turismo and Competizione versions, which featured a chain-driven camshaft mounted on the side of the cylinder head, the valves being operated via short pushrods In 1957, Parilla embarked on a new venture, introducing a range of lightweight motorcycles powered by outwardly similar two-stroke and four-stroke horizontal engines of unitary construction, the first of which was the fully enclosed Slughi model. Engines were suspended beneath a spine-type frame, with the swinging arm pivoting directly in the gearbox casing. A conventional un-enclosed model followed; the latter was launched in 1960 as the Impala, though the name changed to Olimpia soon after Two-strokes were finished in metallic blue with gold accents. Prices were $369 for both models in 1960 and $349 in 1965 This example appears to have been very well restored in the past and seldom (if ever) used since There doesn't appear to be any paperwork with this bike
