Hello

Is anyone familiar with the two Laverda triples (a 3C and a 3CE) on the Made in Italy website (sorry, wrong link - try the one below)?

Thanks

Don't know about those but looking at their site, the one of only two team Cavazzin isn't one there were three and that isn't a Geminiani frame.
Buy privately.

Thanks for the reply Paul,

Thanks for the reply Paul,

The reply didn't concern the triples, but dealers buy off private people or auction rooms.
No reason we shouldn't do the same.

True, but (some) dealers probably know more about what they're buying than someone starting out with Laverdas...

The 'E', which according to Roger (who might just know about these things) Slater stood for 'Exhaust', is fitted with stock 3c silencers.
That's kinda like a 'JOTA' fitted with low comp. pistons and A11 cams, "with a Slaters certificate verifying it's authenticity".

So the 3CE is really a 3C?

I don't know, and it's fairly obvious the person who wrote the ad doesn't, either.
The resonators, silencer is a misnomer, on the 3c, with the hideously angled rear shocks, are the 'E' type.

I'm confused now. They have a reputation for knowing about Italian bikes; or maybe not!

Only a dealer used to Laverda.
There aren't many.

As previously commented the 3CE is now a 3C the 3C at least has Jota silencers both bikes are maybe worth half their asking price £7k ish atbest
buy the Corsa on EBay £10500 is an absolute steal I would buy it myself if I could do it justice

They also have a reputation for their prices!

Can’t see the Corsa on eBay - maybe it’s sold.

Yes it has gone but not listed in the sold items so either just ended the listing or some clever person went and brought it privately
There is a decentish looking 3C for £6•7k and it's been there a while shows the true value of the other 2

Doesn't show anything apart from the asking price for 1 bike.
