NLM confirmed that this 350 double-drum Sport was officially imported
by Harglo the Moto Morini concessionaires in 1974. It was acquired
by a friend in 1986, from whom I bought it, as a non-runner, in 2013.
Following a complete engine and gearbox rebuild as part of its restoration, I used this 350 double-drum Sport to visit the Isle of Man and rides over Dartmoor, before it was stored {Moretonhampstead Motor Museum} as I was riding and restoring other classic motorcycles.
This delightful 350 Morini is in very good condition
