We only have this one Mazzilli picture, believed to be of a probably Italian produced Sachs powered Ceriani teleforked & rather nicely constructed machine of the 1970 to 1976 era, CAN ANYONE OUT THERE PLEASE HELP US WITH INFORMATION, riders types events & images.

Here is Mazzilli Logo at least.

Here is one of those  Sachs 1973 SWM Silver Vase Machines.   With thanks again to our Discoverer in chief, Dave Martin whose bits  galore for inclusion have made the site worth browsing for many many folk in many locations.

Arthur Williams provided some bits so we start a 1973 page, Whew! Day ONE, Alan Lampkin on a Triumph with Manager Ken Heanes.    Britain's Best performance for 7 yrs to 2nd in the Trophy Event. 1100 miles to go, 71 Checks, 11 Special Tests.   48th ISDT 17 to 24 inc September at Berkshire Hills, Massachusets USA for the first time outside Europe.  26 Local Conservationists contested the right to proceed with the even & tried to obtain a court injunction, only by a Technicality did the event get underway at 7am on Monday.   Czechs again romped away with it overall, whilst 750cc BMWs weighing 300 lbs proved more of a handfull than expected.   10 Trophy teams were in the melting pot at the end of the first Day.   Army Vase B team was fine, Army Vase A team had lost T Walker with surprisingly a vibrating Sachs power plant.   Arthur Browning had a series of Punctures causing a 4 minute Penalty.

 Names plus info if you can please help, a list of names finishers results plus a programme? even a photocopy we wd dream of one.  Thanks to Helmut Clasen 'Speedy' again Canadian Checkpoint here with Ron Keyes sitting on the machine

Here is another of 258 looking well received everywhere.  Helmut Clasen again to rescue us identifying Ron Keyes with the Canadian Managers, thanks .

Interesting side note: In the official program of the 1973 ISDT, Bultaco
observed trials champion Lane Leavitt is listed on the Vase "B" team. Lane
declined to ride the ISDT after Bultaco would not outfit him with a prototype
Frontera (as used by some of the Spanish factory riders) and instead wanted
to mount him aboard a Matador. Lane argued that the Matador would not finish
the six days of riding. He was also contesting the observed trials
championship in 1973 and after declining the Vase ride, went on to capture
the trials championship astride a Sherpa T.
Jim Hollander was drafted to fill Leavitt's spot on the Vase B team.
