Description

A superb and rare photo of the
1,000 cc
Laverda V6 and Massimo Laverda
.
The famous Laverda V6 was a one of kind factory racer. It featured a mighty 1,000cc d.o.h.c. watercooled V 6 cylinder engine, with shaft drive to the rear wheel! It was designed and build in 1976 and 1977 by Luciano Zen and Guilio Alfieri of Maserati car fame. It was entered in the 1978 Bol d’Or long distance race in
France
, with riders Cereghini and Perugini. Unfortunately it retired after 8,5 hours with a broken universal joint. It was by far the fastest machine that participated at the event, with a measured speed of an incredible
180 mph
(290 km/hr)!
This non period image was taken at the Laverda factory in Breganze, and it shows Massimo Laverda next to the famous V6. Both were legends in their own way!
It is a very nice photo that reflects a wonderful era of roadracing in a wonderful way. This is your rare chance to own this non period photo that reflects the glorious history of Laverda as well. Therefore it is printed in a nice large format of ca. 7" x 11" (ca.18 x
28 cm
).
