Wear a tribute to a distinctive chapter of Spanish motoring with this Clúa Construcciones Mecánicas heavy knit quarter-zip sweatshirt. From its 1949 founding in Barcelona, Clúa built motorcycles in several engine classes and introduced the MC-75 in 1951. The company later took on the challenging Clúa 500 roadster project, bringing together local design ambition and the realities of manufacturing. A considered pick for cool-weather outings, classic vehicle gatherings, or collectors who appreciate the history of short-lived regional marques.
Clúa was a Spanish motorcycle and microcar brand made by Construcciones Metálicas Clúa, a company founded and owned by Joan Clúa i Maluquer. It operated from 1949 to 1962, with its headquarters at 6 Avenida de Pau Casals in Barcelona, then called Avenida General Goded, and its assembly line on Carrer d'Espronceda. The company built its first motorcycle, the MC-75, in 1951 and developed a range of 50, 75, 125 and 175 cc motorcycles and tricycles. Its 125 cc range expanded in 1953, and the 125-Rapita followed in 1954. In 1955, Clúa began work on the Clúa 500, a small roadster-type microcar. Catalan coachbuilder Pedro Serra designed its plastic body, drawing inspiration from the Pegaso Z-102. The car was presented at the 1957 Barcelona Trade Fair, but manufacturing defects in sourced sheet metal led the company to refund customers who had ordered one. The final example was sold in 1960, and the company went bankrupt in 1962. An estimated 100 Clúa 500s were produced.
