Description

It's hard to let this one go. My Le Mans II has been loved and ridden with real passion, and it's ready to hit the road for many more kilometres. First registered in Italy in December 1980, it later lived in Slovakia before I imported and UK-registered it in November 2022. I'm its third owner. All work has been carried out by specialists.

The original paint wears a lovely patina. There's one dent on the fuel tank, fully repairable, and some light marks, all shown honestly in the photos.
