Lot details

  • Supplied by Laverda agents Morphy Motors in Hertfordshire in August 1980
  • One previous owner
  • In current ownership for over 12 years with maintenance carried out
  • Very good and original

The three-cylinder 1200 TS Mirage had one of the largest engines to be fitted to a production machine from Laverda. Originally sold in August 1980 by Laverda agents Morphy Motors in Hertfordshire, this example has had only one previous owner and has been in current ownership for over 12 years. The overall condition is believed to be very good and original, as is the seat; rare for a 45 year old Laverda.

Work completed and parts replaced in the last few years include: full carbs rebuild - ultrasonically cleaned with new needles and jets, seals, filters, choke rubbers, fuel lines & taps etc., brake hoses, valve clearances, cam chain and tensioner blade, primary chain, spark plugs, rev counter & speedo cables, air filter, oil filter mesh and a 'Jota Joe' side-stand. The original fairing, engine and side panels (including mounts and brackets) are included. The displayed mileage (shown in km) appears genuine and is supported by its MOT history. There's also documentation in the form of parts invoices, old MOTs (including the first one from 1983), a Slater’s authenticity letter, original rider’s handbook, a workshop manual printout and a copy of the Laverda Twin and Triple Repair & Tune-Up Guide ('The Green Book'). The bike has been heard to run smoothly and it is reported that it started easily from cold and without hesitation.
