1975 S3
reg number JRO 184N -
6TH S3 OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE - MAG TEST BIKE
JRO 184N was the sixth S3 off the production line at the Italian factory.
The road test was in "Motocyclist illustrated" August 1975 price 30p along
with Benelli 750-6 and Ducati 750SS tests..I have the magazine which will go with the bike to the new owner. The bike was imported by Coburn & Hughes and used as a demonstration bike for them and an Edinburgh Guzzi dealer. Eventually one of their mechanics bought it, who along with his brother clocked up 40,000 miles.
In the late 1980s he moved north with the bike to the Orkney islands
where I bought it in original condition in 1990 in need of some tlc.
