An even simpler take on the utilitarian Yamaha SR500, the Auto Fabrica Type 7E was built with extreme durability and off-road proficiency in mind. But that’s not to say this charming dirt bike would look out of place parked in pride of place outside a coffee shop in Shoreditch. As usual, Auto Fabrica’s level of finish is spectacular – from the handcrafted exhaust pipe, mounted high so as to increase the ground clearance, to the delicate aluminium mudguards and the navy hand-stitched canvas saddle, each detail is present for good reason and has been thoughtfully realised to ensure the Type 7E is a genuine go-anywhere machine.
