1977 Moto Guzzi T3, 844cc. Registration number CDF 871T. Frame number VD 16983 M 14615 OM. Engine number 108730.
Developed from an artillery tractor engine, the transverse V-twin Moto Guzzi unit has proved to be one of the post-war ‘greats’, proving immensely durable, tuneable and adaptable throughout a whole range of bikes. The original Guzzis, were worked over by designer Lino Tonti in the early ‘seventies, since when the rumbling twins have attracted faithful, long-term owners, their idea of a bike being the very antithesis of a Japanese ‘crotch-rocket’. The 850-T range owed more to the V7 Sport than it did to Guzzi's previous tourers, most notably boasting the V7 Sport's frame and suspension. Upgraded to triple discs as the T3, and offering a better power-to-weight ratio and torque output than the 750S, the big Moto Guzzi could justifiably claim to be the finest sports-tourer of its day.
CDF was first owned by Christopher Coughlan of Malmesbury before being sold to Paul Dorsman of Bristol in 1983. Our vendor bought it from A1 Motorbikes of Sheffield in 2011. 5 MOT's on file from 1984 at 12,145 miles to 27,562 in 1995 suggest that the current 28,075 will be correct and is the same as when purchased. It will need recommissioning for the road.
Sold with the V5C, V5, old MOT's and various other paperwork.
