A Brief History of the Italian Marque
Mario Zodiaco established a firm named Autozodiaco in Bologna which built dune buggies powered by air-cooled VW engines from 1969 to 1981.
Their foray into the motorcycle world saw them fit a pull-start JLO-Rockwell two-stroke snowmobile engine into an offroad motorcycle chassis with balloon tyres in 1973 named the Moto Zodiaco. The machine featured in a 1974 film starring Bud Spencer and Terence Hill.
Autozodiaco also produced three-wheeled microcars named Charly powered by Minarelli 49cc engines.
