Its first owner, who lived in Sardinia, kept this lovely Gilera for the rest of his life. Later inherited by his son in Rome, it was restored in 2019, and then in 2022 it was sold to the vendor who brought it to the UK. It is accompanied by a V5C, its Italian logbook, and the original rider's manual. The odometer's recorded 13,086 km is believed by the vendor to be the total distance covered from new. We are told that the engine is in good running order, that the oil was changed in February this year, that it was run only last month, and that a new battery will be fitted prior to the auction. One ignition key is supplied. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Sold strictly as viewed.
