Manufactured by the Fábrica Española de Motocicletas y Triciclos firm of
Julio Fusté in Igualada, Barcelona, from 1955 to 1962 [1], these motorcycles were powered by Hispano Villiers 125c and 197cc engines.
In late 1956 nine Delfin motocarros were built, powered by 197 cc HV engines. These had two seats and a load capacity of 250 kg. A total of some 20 machines were constructed. They are believed to have been based on the Solyto by New-Map, which they closely resemble.
The company also built motocarros under the Olimpic brand, and these were all but identical to the Delfin.
La tricamioneta marca DELFIN es la solución del pequeño transporte. Lo mismo sirve en la ciudad, que en la carretera, ya que su centro de gravedad es muy bajo y ancho de via, lo cual le dá una perfecta estabilidad y seguridad. Descapotable en verano y cerrado en invierno, con cristales de plástico protegiendo eficazmente a los pasajeros.
The DELFIN brand three-seater is the perfect solution for small-scale transport. It's equally suitable in the city as it is on the highway, as its very low center of gravity and wide track provide perfect stability and safety. It's convertible in the summer and closed in the winter, with plastic windows that effectively protect passengers.
