1976 Moto Guzzi 850T3 & Hedingham Sidecar
Registration no. NRY 915P
Frame no. 100594
Engine no. 100594
Introduced in 1974, the 850T owed more to the V7 Sport and 750S models than it did to Guzzi's contemporary tourers, boasting the former's frame and suspension and the latter's 'hot' camshaft. The 850T was one of the first Guzzis to employ a disc brake, mounting a single Brembo at the front while retaining the existing drum brake at the rear. Weighing slightly less than the 750S but with the same (53bhp) maximum power output and greater torque, the 850T possessed an excellent power-to-weight ratio and could justifiably claim to be one of the finest sports tourers of its day. Effectively an interim model, it was replaced in 1975 by the triple-disc-braked but otherwise similar 850T3, which remained in production until 1982.
This Moto Guzzi motorcycle combination was run by the lady vendor from the mid-1980s through to 1999, since when it has been garage stored. In 2005 a new clutch was fitted and the engine run for 2-3 minutes before it was realised there was no oil in it. The engine is believed to be seized and nothing has been done to the machine since then. Sold strictly as viewed, the Guzzi is offered with an old V5 registration document; a couple of expired MoTs; Hedingham Sidecars Owners' Club magazine; and a Haynes workshop manual. The original telescopic forks and a Hedingham Sidecars wooden model are included in the sale.
