Laverda's advanced Alpino was a natural candidate for development as a racer, and the first such derivative, the Formula 500, arrived in 1978. A Formula 500 was imported into the UK by Laverda concessionaire, Roger Slater, the man largely responsible for the Jota, who believed that a 'civilised', café racer version had greater sales potential than the rather lacklustre, and expensive, Alpino. Slater retained the stock Alpino fuel tank but equipped his new baby with a bikini fairing and solo racing seat. Finished in 'Jota Orange', the newcomer was named 'Montjuic' in honour of Laverda's race victories at the eponymous Spanish circuit, while a loud, matt black, megaphone exhaust system further enhanced the racing connection. Painted in Montjuic colours, this Alpino was in running condition when disassembled. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine is offered with a workshop manual and V5 registration document.
