Alpha was a brand of Spanish motorcycles and motocarros manufactured in Barcelona by Nilo Maso Miró between 1924 and 1957.
[2] Nilo Masó Miró, a former speed driver, started his motorcycle manufacturing company in 1924 in Barcelona, producing machines powered by 175 and 250 cc two-stroke engines from Villiers and DKW.
[2] After the war, when the import of foreign parts was severely restricted, and like many other manufacturers, the factory turned to the reconstruction of ex-army machines and the construction of auxiliary motors for bicycles.
To provide finance, Enrique Favier and Antonio Sommariva joined the venture and MV Alpha was formed in 1948.
[4] Also produced were distribution tricycles (equipped with OSSA and Hispano Villiers[3] engines ) and a 175cc light motorcycle, inspired by the BSA Bantam.
