Engadine 42- Restored 1970s Portable Typewriter (QWERTY, Pica Typeface, Made in Italy)

Elegant in form and reliable in function, the Engadine 42 is a stylish Italian portable typewriter from the 1970s. Known for its clean design and smooth mechanics, it was a trusted writing companion for students, home users, and aspiring authors of the era. The pale blue metal body makes it a timeless piece of mid-century modern design- light enough to carry, yet durable enough for daily use. It has a long, very comfortable carriage return lever, which helps a lot during longer typing.

This Engadine 42 has been professionally restored in our workshop in Fuengirola, Spain. All mechanical parts have been cleaned, adjusted, and lubricated to ensure crisp, even typing. It comes fitted with a fresh ribbon so you can begin writing the moment it arrives.
