For Sale my Moto Guzzi T3 California 1981 owned by me for for 20 years.
The bike has been fully stripped and restored by myself, there are photos available at all stages of the strip down and rebuild, there is also a video of the bike starting and running with all lights indicators horns working.
The bike is a genuine T3 California not a dressed up G5 T3 Spada LeMans or V1000.
I have left everything servicible and mechanically functional original .
I do have front and rear crash bars, 2 sets of pannier frames, 1 x set of original panniers that need re-paninting which im keeping for another rebuild. There are available original items out there i can buy to replace these so if i get the full asking price im happy to negotiate these within the sale.
The log book is in my name and there are many previous mot certificates. I can deliver within a 30 mile radius free of charge. There are no test rides but the video is available of the bike starting and running. The bike is sold as seen with no warranties or guaranties given and there are no refunds accepted. The bike has been valued by an independent factory trained mechanic.
