That Giulia is one of my favorite modern cars, for now the TIpo will have to do.... 
No.
Phil Todd thought that it was a Segoni
It's in fact one of 3 Geminiani framed TT2s built by Toni Cavazzin at the factory using factory parts. It's still in the condition I got it back, ie failed arson and 48 hours on its side in a pond.

You know very well Paul - a well used Laverda with a lot of interest as pretty rare

And the TT2 was raced by Manxman, Tom Quayle in the 1991 Manx Grand Prix. Shame it ended up with someone trying to set it on fire, but MGP Laverdas do have a have a habit of rising from the ashes. My old ‘84 bike that was ‘cremated’ in a warehouse fire is slowly being restored by Otto. 
I finally found a good Formula 500 engine. I used it at Francorchamps two weeks ago in my Harris frame.And the TT2 was raced by Manxman, Tom Quayle in the 1991 Manx Grand Prix.

Trying to set it on fire and then drowning it.

It was definitely the 1991 not 1993 MGP Senior race Paul.

"Laverdas do have a have a habit of rising from the ashes". As do Laverda riders! The strangest, unexpected things happen in life - never say never!
I've got a triple to finish, a 125 Sport to do next or at the same time, then I'd like to do the ex Bruno Cretti track bike, then there's a burnt 200, a burnt Laverdino 2T, a 650 needing getting road worthy. Then maybe the TT2 before my sons are too old to use it in anger.
Not to mention a Vincent if the SFC sells, and all the running bikes to keep going.
My stock of amphetamines is getting low and my cardiologist disapproves.

Another happy 750 convert at the bottom of Bray Hill awaiting the start of the Lightweight classic race, won, unsurprisingly, by a country mile by a certain Michael Dunlop from the aging, but still bloody quick and consistent, Ian ‘Lucky’ Lougher. Shame about Mike Browne tipping off at Brandywell, but at least he’s okay and will live to ride another day.
