AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
IN RISALTO:
• Rare OM Leoncino bus with Cansa bodywork in 22-seat configuration
• Originally registered in 1956 with administrative history reconstructed via three historic plates
• Partially restored mechanics: engine restarted and braking system fully overhauled
• Accompanied by workshop manual, user and maintenance manual, and a copy of the latest registration certificate
STORIA/PANORAMICA:
The OM Leoncino, introduced by the Brescia-based factory Officine Meccaniche at the end of the 1940s, represents a milestone of light and medium transport in post-war Italy. In the specific bus variant outfitted by the renowned Carrozzeria Cansa of Novara, this vehicle combines the robustness of the OM chassis with the quality of bus construction of the era. This rare 22-seat example was first registered on February 16, 1956 in Florence, later transferred in 1961 to Pescara and finally in 1964 to Reggio Calabria. Out of service since 1992 (year of cessation of circulation) and since kept on private property, it represents an ideal restoration project for collectors or museums of transportation.
CARROZZERIA/VERNICIATURA:
The bodywork needs a complete restoration. The vehicle is sold as-is, to undergo full sheet metal and painting interventions. The front headlights are missing, while the original rear lights are preserved inside the vehicle. Dimensions: length 6.00 m, width 2.41 m, height 2.90 m, maximum wheelbase 1.82 m, weight 39 quintals.
INTERNI:
Information missing or insufficient in the text or seller photos.
MECCANICA:
The mechanical part has undergone initial functional restoration: the engine was restarted after long inactivity and runs; the braking system was fully overhauled with machined drums, enlarged brake shoes, refurbished brake cylinders and new brake pump. New bearings and hub seals were also installed.
DOCUMENTI:
The accompanying documentation includes a copy of the latest registration certificate, chronological extracts of the three historic plates (Florence, Pescara, Reggio Calabria), the original user and maintenance manual and the workshop manual. Following a compliant restoration, the vehicle will be eligible for the procedures to obtain the Historic and Collectible Relevance Certificate (CRS) for re-registration.
The vehicle is located in Reggio Calabria city. At the buyer's request, the seller can provide assistance in the CRS process and organize national or international transport subject to the signing of commercial agreements. To schedule an appointment or for more information, please contact Catawiki. Pickup and transport are at the buyer's expense. Property transfer costs or deregistration procedures for export and transport are at the buyer's expense, unless otherwise specified.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
