Moto Guzzi V7 700 Ex Police Classic Bike like V7 Special, Eldorado, 850GT

Moto Guzzi V7 700 project for spares or repairWe are offering a chance to buy a nearly complete early V7 700 loop frame Moto Guzzi for restoration. HistoryThe original Moto Guzzi V Twin. this is the model most Guzzi twins are descended from.  This example has spent most of it's life in civil service in Africa. and was most probably used by the police. It was imported some years ago by its previous owner who didn't get round to restoring it and registering it in the UK. The bike was stored for several years in the UK hence the surface corrosion on the steel parts.  ConditionWe have not stripped the engine or gearbox and the engine is likely to need some work before been run again.  The machine needs full restoration and overhaul but is a solid basis for a project. It would also make a great basis for a custom project (e. g.  www. bikeexif. com/moto-guzzi-v7? ).  The bike benefits from a four leading shoe front brake drum (very rare and sought after) and most of the metalwork is very solid and in good enough condition to be stripped and repainted. The bike comes with Borrani wheels. and has tool boxes and leg shields / crash bars.  The bike has some missing parts including exhausts. one carb. switchgear. brake rods and cables. starter motor and tail light. Most of these parts are available from Gutsibits. either new or used.  We have sold a few of these and other customers have used the VAT invoice from Gutsibits to get the bike registered on the VOSA database. and have obtained a dating certificate from the Moto Guzzi Club GB to enable the machine to be registered with the DVLA. This is a rare opportunity to restore a early Guzzi twin. these models are now sought after (Ewan McGregor is a fan) and appreciating in value. We need to make space in our workshop to work on other bikes hence we are are offering this bike.  The MGCGB should be able to date the bike and we are able to supply available spares for this model. We would recommend viewing the bike at our premises near Huddersfield. West Yorkshire - call us on 01484 841395 to arrange.
