The body was made entirely of aluminum by the bodyshop Motto Committee by the Ilario Bandini. It is of two-seater sports configuration.

The dimensions are very similar to the First Bandini of 1946 ; as the air-intake and windshield recall those of 1100 sports , but the front grid for vertical and horizontal elements, although it is larger, has a shape that binds inextricably to torpedo sports. The front side plates and the tail, however, free of material roundness, shall inspired ideas that found practical application five years later with the Saponetta.
