Considering the wheels on it, that price is decent.

Yeah that’s what I thought. Add a few hundred for collection by courier you get a pretty exclusive bike.

I’m always drooling on Italian FB marketplace at the Italian bikes, most very cheap as registration for old bikes in Italy is a nightmare. Like France now they have to register mopeds so cheap as chips for UK buyers. Just a pity Brexit screwed up getting parts from Europe 🙄

I think it would take a lot of work and money to get it up to scratch, although as a living room art piece it is worth it. I would question the engine, though.

£3,750 for the the bike, 5% VAT, courier. £4,500 for a double drum Sport with Valentini bodywork? Not sure about the rearsets.

Very pretty looking bike, and seems to be an original 1st Series Sport underneath the Valentini plastics, so price is pretty interesting.

Fairing and rear sets, are not Valentini's, the tank and seat unit are Valentini, but from a later year (used from 1976 and later years, mostly used on cast wheel models).

Original 1st series Sport Valentini kit is very very rare, these later kits are more common.

My information can be debatable, there is still very little known about these kits.

Does anyone recognise the fairing?, perhaps Ducati single?
