Brumana Pugliese

In 1970 Pasco Lambretta became Brumana Pugliese S.A. when it was bought by Philip Pugliese, the largest shareholder, and Oliveiro Brumana. They planned to expand the company and built a new factory which covered 19,000 square meters. Unfortunately these expansion plans coincided with the introduction of Japanese motorcycles to the Brazilian market. Brumana Pugliese faced stiff competition and responded by introducing new and updated models.^[2] They also unsuccessfully tried to enter the United States market using a Serveta importer.^[3] However all these attempts failed to increase sales and the company went bankrupt in 1982.

Unlike its predecessors Brumana Pugliese developed a number of its own models. These included the following:

This was a Monkey bike style machine which used the standard Lambretta wheels, engine and transmission. However it had heavily modified forks and a completely different frame. The Xispa was in production from 1971 to 1979.^[4]

The MS was a modified Lambretta Series III with very narrow leg shields and cropped side panels that revealed the engine's crankcase. It was first produced in 1973 and was colloquially known as the 'mini-saia' (mini-skirt).^[4]

Between 1976 and 1980 Brumana Pugliese built a moped known as the Ponei (pony). It used a Minarelli engine.^[4]
