The Background
The 100 Sport Lusso was based on the Laverda 75 but with a larger cc engine. The 100 sport was where the Laverdas race developed bits were fitted onto this larger capacity clubmans racer from the factory.
The Lusso extras added to this model included : Speedo, full width drum brakes, clip ons, rear sets, a 4 speed gearbox and quick fill fuel cap.
Laverda was founded in 1873 and traded until 2004 when it was absorbed by Piaggio in a deal where they also took over Aprilia.
This bike has been acquired from the Bassi collection in Northern Italy, and was subject to a comprehensive restoration 15 years ago. This particular bike is believed to have been raced in the ’58 &’59 Italian hillclimber championships.
The bike is believed to have been prepared by the previous owner for the Milano to Taranto. Although we cannot confirm if it entered, it would clearly be a welcome addition to any future event.
Unusual for a lightweight Italian bike of this nature, it comes with a V5c and an Italian logbook. There are also documents from the Laverda club confirming the bike's authenticity and production.
The condition of this bike is exceptional. As mentioned above it has had a comprehensive restoration at some point in its life and it has been in a private collection since, so it has been treated very well.
The paint is still fresh and the chromework is fantastic. The speedo is a joy to behold and even the wheels and tyres look pretty much unused.
The bike was prepared for action in 2020 but has not run since. Given the condition and the parts on this bike there is no reason why it could not be prepared for active duty easily again. A particular highlight of this bike, is the SS 1 22mm green label carb and remote chamber, which to those who know, is not a common commodity (Nor cheap!)
Stylish and sleek, Italian bikes in the 50s and 60s may not have had thumbing great engines but they didn’t weigh anything either.
This 100 Sport Lusso model has a few extra tweaks over the standard 75 and is a fine bike indeed.
Having at some point had a comprehensive restoration and still in fine fettle today, who wouldn’t want to own such a beautiful work or art, it’s a part of motoring history.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
