Looks like one for a Marzocchi suspended bike.

Not necessarily some were round some were square.

Maurice, what's you're understanding of when they changed? I'd assumed the change was made when they upgraded the forks to 38mm. Were any other upgrades implemented around that time? *1588* came to me with a square tail light and I merely assumed this was std and likely related to the fork size change.. Now I'm not so sure....

I thought it was around the time they changed from drum to disk front brake.

I dont think there was a cut off at a certain bike number probably whatever Moto Laverda could buy at the time.
I know of a non oil cooled 3C 14?? series bike sold new that had a square tail light
And I know of 2 others sold new with round lights.

I guess it's like a lot of Italian bikes Maurice. I think some Ducatis were a bit unpredictable around that period too. I dunno if there was even a cut-off at a certain bike number for Laverda's drum-disk change either. I'd have a look in Ian Falloon's book, but my cat is busy guarding it.

Well, then there is pocket-money left to make it to your liking
So once the VAT and tax are added (assuming it's a UK buyer), the auctioneers estimate was pretty much bob on, yes? Still a lot to pay for an unknown quantity IMHO, but then, I'm not really a gambling man.

I would pay that for that bike. All due respect , if you are married, that’s the sign of a gambling man , if you aren’t married , you know for sure you can still put 6 in the bike to make it right and it shouldn’t bite you on the ass

I didn’t buy it, unfortunately out of the country at the time, and I can’t afford to gamble on something I haven’t seen in person.
