Before the arrival of its 72-degree v-twin roadsters, Morini's reputation had rested mainly on its highly successful double-overhead-cam single-cylinder racers. An entirely different approach was adopted for the v-twins: each cylinder's two valves were pushrod-operated by a single camshaft while the combustion chambers were located in the piston crowns. Coupled to a six-speed gearbox, this superb motor belied its lack of capacity, endowing the lightweight, nimble-footed 350 Morini with a top speed of around 100mph. The most commonly encountered version is the 350cc '3½', while the machine offered here (purchased in 2001) is an example of the much rarer '250'. Believed original and un-restored, the machine displays a total of 23,808 kilometres on the odometer and is offered for restoration. Apart from removing the cylinder heads for a 'de-coke', after which the machine was ridden around the garden, no work has been done since acquisition. There are no documents with this Lot.
