Vintage Mini Moto Kit Trade Box – 48 Motorbike Models – CGGC Grisoni – Italy, ca. 1970s/80s

A rare and highly collectible vintage toy display: an original Mini Moto Kit trade box by CGGC Grisoni Giocattoli, dating to the late 1970s–early 1980s. Produced in Italy, this colorful counter display was originally supplied to newsagents and toy shops, where individual kits were sold separately, making complete surviving examples like this increasingly scarce.

These charming, snap-together models capture the spirit of iconic European and Japanese motorcycles of the era, including designs inspired by classics such as the Moto Guzzi V750, Laverda 750 SF, BMW R100 RS, and MV Agusta 500.
