notes: " I have owned Moto Guzzi¹s since 1978 when I bought my V7 sport when it was six years old, it was imported into Scotland from America by a mate of mine he¹s regretted it ever since. In 1979 I bought my four year old burned out S3, this bike had been in a local dealers and sat in his showroom for two years before it was sold. I used to admire this bike but it was far more expensive than the Triumph's on sale and I never had the money, that's why I jumped at the chance to buy my V7 sport in '78. Little did I realise that the S3 would come into my hands, the owner had an unfortunate dropping of the bike and subsequent fire, and I still have a melted Dellorto. I have since restored both, the V7 sport in 1980 and the S3 in 1983. At the moment of writing the S3 is undergoing further work and I am also building an 1100 hybrid Tonti framed sport. The '72 V7 sport continues to evolve the last addition being an optional Guzzi screen, sourced by Teo Lammers in Nimegen Netherlands
