Rolling chassis might be be misleading as there's no tank or sidepanels for a start.
What IS there is: single sided twin-leader in front wheel with aged tyre, attached to forks, headlight brackets, yokes with idiot lights and Morini roundel, clocks, handlebars with later LH switchgear and front brake lever, straight frame with rear brake lever (with the brake cable with in-line switch), horn plus side and centre stands, seat, swingarm, shocks, rear wheel with working drum brake and an OAP tyre, a pair of chrome mudguards with stays, chainguard, rear number plate and rear light bracket (for the round rear light), a fusebox and bunch of wires, and a bunch of stainless nuts and bolts holding the bits together.
Bad bits: the wheel rims are rusty; the fork stanchions are slightly speckled below the bottom yoke, more heavily above the bottom yoke, but look saveable; the handlebars are rusty; the seat has a split cover and the base has rust but no holes; the speedo has let in water at some point (the rev counter looks good though); and the front brake is seized off which I'm guessing would be the steel cam spindles being stuck in the alloy brakeplate.
I can't shrink the photos enough to attach them so PM me and I'll send them to you.

There isn't a V5 but the number plate is LPC 80P. The DVLA site has this info:
Vehicle make MOTO GUZZI
Date of first registration November 1975
Year of manufacture 1975
Cylinder capacity 344 cc
Hmm. The 350 v-twin Guzzi wasn't launched until 1977 and had a capacity of 346.2 cc, so I think the reg is correct but the DVLA used the wrong manufacturers' name.
I'd like £300 but PM me with offers, or even offers for components.
The bike is near J3 of the M25.
Thanks
Richard
