                           1961 works Monark/Lito   Sten Lundin

                                           1961 World Champion                                 

  After a three year restoration on Sten Lundin's 1961 500cc World Championship Lito, history was made once again.  Forty years after Sten Lundin won the 500cc World Championship, Sten suited up and rode his famous Lito at the historical Saxtorp motocross track in southern Sweden. The event was filmed for a Swedish television show. Those that were there, once again got to witness one of the great riders of all time and hear the sound of the powerful Lito that once shook the earth. Photos were provided by Bo-Ingvar Svensson and Nils-Olov Wedin. The Lito is now part of this collection.
