Moto Guzzi recommenced production after WW2 with a range of updated pre-war designs, which in the case of the 250cc Airone (heron) meant it gained a telescopic front fork, larger diameter brakes, and an aluminium-alloy cylinder barrel and 'head. In 1949 a Sport version became available; the original being renamed Turismo. Boasting a higher compression ratio and larger carburettor, the more powerful Sport offered a 73mph top speed and the ability to cruise at 60mph all day and remained a top seller well into the 1950s. Imported at date unknown and apparently cosmetically restored, this Airone Sport is missing its speedometer. Sold strictly as viewed, the Guzzi is offered with a photocopy ACI document showing that it left the factory with engine number '87088'. There is no import paperwork with this Lot. The vendor has had the machine running recently.
