Moto Guzzi red frame V7 Sport - Polistil (ITALY) 1:24 scale model

 

Okay, that was a lame gag to get you to look at this page, of course I haven't suddenly come into money and bought a genuine red frame Sport, but I did manage to scrape together 20 euros to buy this very cool model from a guy in Palermo, Sicily, who was advertising it on the Italian E-Bay site.

I've seen these around and wanted to get one, but I'm pleased to get it in its original box, in great condition. Polistil were (and maybe still are) a famous model manufacturer in the 70s, and this model comes from the mid-70s. Detailing is ok, not superb, after all it was a mass-produced model, and it even has a Milan numberplate! (easier than getting an Italian plate for my Guzzi then). On the back of the box you get the tecnical spec of the bikes; 736cc, is this right?? 'Break' horse power is quoted at 50HP, number of gears is '4'.....

Worth having though, I can't take it out of the box as it has it's original little plastic seal which I want to leave intact. Also comes with weird plastic funnel thing, for displaying it on (not shown).

Mind you, I might take it out and respray it like a proper bike like the S3....

- ANYONE ELSE GOT ANY GUZZI MODELS?? I'LL PUT THEM ON THIS PAGE -
