The Appeal

From the 1960s Benelli and Moto Guzzi were like two peas in a pod: shared engineering but different sporting and touring priorities respectively.
This lovely ‘74 250 2C firmly leans into the sporting theme, its racing-style evocative of the earlier racers that made these two brands so revered. It has been in the UK for many years, remaining in the hands of a single keeper during that time. It appears to have been restored, the condition now at a level that would grace any discerning collection.
Reported to be in very good running and riding order, this is a great example of a rare and evocative Benelli racer.
