1975 3½ Strada at H&H Auction.

[Morini Jen]

There is an H&H Auction at the National Motorcycle Museum near Birmingham this coming Wednesday (29th October).

Lot 348 is a 1975 Morini 3½ Strada which has had three recorded owners from new, the first one being Morini Riders Club Founder Member Simon Pancheri.

I am a volunteer at the Museum and actually pushed this bike into the Museum store last Thursday. It seems to be in decent condition although it is missing a side stand. There are some very obvious changes to how it would have looked in 1975 but I'm not going to comment. In some ways it highlights the fact that most U.K. Morini Riders don't get hung up on originality but just want to enjoy their bikes.

The Auction starts at 12:00 mid-day. If you can't attend in person you can register to bid online.

No reserve too. Looks good to me although I prefer my Strada with a black frame.

...and me, never liked the red frames, only my opinion though. Bike looks nice, with very nice looking silencers-anyone know what make they are?

Thanks for showing on here Jen

Well, I've just got back from the auction. Obviously I was keeping an eye on the Strada, and hoped that if someone in the room bought it I might have a chat with them and so forth. In the end it went to an internet bidder. Someone got a bargain. It sold for £2000. (With fees, £2300).

Always a gamble in the auction, not surprised at the price achieved, buyers at auctions tend to favour bikes in standard trim, this one although probably sound has a mix of parts/ colour schemes that are from different periods. I’m sure many club members will appreciate the modifications to this bike and will understand that with rear sets, a heat shield and some tweaking in the garage someone has bagged a bargain. Oh yes, I am one of those who prefers black frames and at that price there is room to refresh the faded paint.
