The roots of the Laverda Motorcycle Company go back to 1873 when Pietro Laverda began producing agricultural equipment in Breganza in North-East Italy. Like many other Italian firms, they diversified into motorcycles after the Second World War manufacturing good quality and for the time quite innovative bikes. By the 1960s they had progressed onto bigger capacity engines launching the twin cylinder 750GT in 1969 and the three cylinder 1000cc models to compete against the new breed of Japanese superbikes, with the famous Jota being the fastest production motorcycle to date. Like the Jota the Montjuic was UK only high performance model created by the importers Slater Brothers and named after the Spanish circuit following Laverda's successes there. The bikes were shipped to the UK as a bare machine and once in the UK the bodywork and fairing, made by Screen and Plastics, was fitted along with S1 cams, high compression pistons and a Sito exhaust to increase power to around 50bhp.

This genuine Montjuic was restored by David Vaughan of Somerset and comes supplied with a letter of authenticity from Slater Brothers, signed by Richard Slater himself. This stunning looking bike, which would grace any collection, is one of only about 250 thought to have been made and is presented in excellent authentic condition in its distinctive Laverda orange colour scheme. It will come supplied with lots of history including the dating letter, receipts, old MOTs and a current V5C.
