The Hans Schifferle Collection, 1959 Horex Parilla 99cc Slughi, Registration no. not registered Frame no. 993031 Engine no. 4121
In 1957, Moto 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 these was the fully enclosed Slughi model, which debuted at the 1957 Milan Show with production commencing in 1958. Engines were suspended beneath a spine-type frame, with the swinging arm pivoting directly in the gearbox casing. Named after a type of hound (saluki in English), the Slughi featured jet fighter-inspired streamlined bodywork and bore more than a passing resemblance to Aermacchi's Chimera, which had appeared the previous year. It was sold in the USA as the Ramjet or Ramjet Streamliner. A conventional un-enclosed model followed.
The Horex-badged example offered here was discovered in a Munich Horex dealership unregistered and unused. The Horex factory had closed early in 1958, leaving its dealers with nothing to sell, which perhaps explains the Horex badge on this Moto Parilla. The machine appears to be totally original and un-restored (cosmetically). Helmut Lichtenberg was tasked with registering the bike circa 2007. Note the single set of footrests fitted (rear footrests were an optional extra). After re-commissioning the machine, Helmut was permitted to exercise it for a few kilometres, covering 177 in the process. Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugbrief, expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; Horex data sheet; and a Slughi 99 Instruction Manual.
