PROPERTY OF A DECEASED'S ESTATE
1977 LAVERDA 500CC ALPINO
REGISTRATION NO. NOT REGISTERED
FRAME NO. 28120
ENGINE NO. 1273
Broadening its range of models, Laverda launched the new Alpino 350/500 middleweight twins in 1977. Boasting twin overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, a six-speed gearbox, triple disc brakes, an electric starter and cast alloy wheels, the Alpino was state of the art for its day but handicapped, in the UK at least, by a price that pitted it against much larger machines from Japan. Relatively few were sold in the UK and they remain a rare sight in this country today. Formerly resident in Spain, this Laverda Alpino was imported by Direct Classic Imports Ltd of Holt Heath, Worcestershire and sold to the late owner on 25th May 2017 (purchase invoice on file). Also on file is an expired MoT (February 2021); a copy of the machine's Spanish registration document; and assorted DVLA correspondence (perusal recommended). Last run in January 2021, the machine is described as in generally good condition throughout.
GBP2,000 - 3,000
