Moto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europes oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. Always innovative they were very successful in Grand Prix racing with products as diverse as the 350cc horizontal single that won five world championships in a row to the incredible 500c V8. After mainly producing single cylinder designs for their road bikes Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive vee twin layout has now become Guzzis signature design. In 1979 a small block version of the air-cooled V-twin motor was designed by engineer Lino Tonti, initially as a 350cc but quickly growing into the V50 500cc and ultimately a range of 750cc models. This gave riders the style and character of the big block Guzzis in a far lighter and more manageable package.
There is only thought to have been 100 750Ts originally sold in the UK by the importer Three Cross Motorcycles as a special order from the factory combining the Targa frame with the V50 bodywork. This example had been off the road for a while but has been recently recommissioned with new front disc, pads and fitted with a Lucas Rita ignition kit in 2021 and used this summer by the vendor. The bike comes supplied with a few receipts, an MOT until 24-05-2023 and a current V5C.
