There is one for sale at Automoto Classics in Kettering. A few parts missing or incorrect but if that doesn't bother you it may be worth a look?

I have bought a couple of bikes from Carla in the past and found her very friendly and fair to deal with.

I have owned 175 for over 20 years. 2,000 miles in last year incl Portugal! Great reliable little bikes.

I have 2 Tresette for sale

One I'm calling my 1959 Patina bike as it is totally original and wears a rather nice advanced Patina. Bought from Italy to help me through a period when recovering from Left Knee replacement I stripped the engine entirely fitted all new bearings, seals plus the best parts from a spare engine. Oil pump overhauled etc etc. New tyres and tubes and all sorts of other stuff. Fuel tank sealed. It has been a great exercise to help me through a period of time and write an article (too long for ATG) about the 175 motor. It is DVLA registered as Historic. I have not yet started the motor however it is hours away BUT on 9th December my other knee is being replaced so....I cannot do any more work on it before Christmas. It could be for sale without rewire as is ( I have a new loom) or you will have to wait, but honesty the rewire is not hard.

The second I bought 6 months ago BUT is held up in Italy but should be here in the new year. It is later second series possibly one of the last made in 1962. Suspect it will need a once over but possibly no more. It will be sold with DVLA registration (I am MRC / DVLA Morini Registrar)

I will post some pictures
