Laverda Museum For Sale

This is a collection nonpareil, and represents a rarely seen opportunity for the discerning curator or collector.

The Cor Dees Collection includes 12 historic racing machines including Milano-Taranto and Motogiro works racers from the 1950s, many prototypes, and star of the collection a V6 1000cc endurance racer - with a second V6 under restoration (Sorry, neither are included in the sale).

In total there are over 80 machines in immaculate condition, along with a vast array of Laverda memoriabilia, photography, literature and documentation - the result of Cor Dees' 30 years of dedication to the marque. More...

Introduced at the Milan Fair in 1985, the Zundapp-powered Lesmo was produced from 1986 to 1989. The successor to the LB One, it lacked the former's exhaust valve and (thankfullly) electric starter, and gained a sixth gear, increased rake and trail and a longer wheelbase. It was also frightfully expensive, and this example is the only one which was sold by the Laverda distributor in Holland. It has done 140 kilometres since new.
