a comment of Peter Samarin :
The Necchi "Mirella" a variation of the Lydia Mk2 was sold in the US in Pink, Ivory and Apple Green. One distinct function of the Mirella was a handcrank allowing you to operate the machine without electricity. A true portable--designed to allow sewing in the plains of Africa.
