Hailwood v V7 Sport - new book in our store - SOLD SOLD





Mike Hailwood v Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, Monza, 1971. 

We are pleased to have been given the opportunity to offer this fantastic photographical account of the day Hailwood rode the V7 Sport. Glauco Bonetti was a professional and award-winning photographer from Milan, and was sent one day in 1971 to photograph what would become a legendary occasion - Mike Hailwood riding and testing the then new Moto Guzzi V7 Sport at Monza. Present were the famous Guzzi staff of the time, including Lino Tonti, who designed, the V7 Sport, Bruno Scola, racers Mandracci, Gazzola and Brambilla, the journalist and racer Roberto Patrignani, and other technical staff.

This simple book is published using the original black and white negatives which are now owned by the Manusardi Motopix Milano archive, which now owns Bonetti's work. The book has 20 pages and is in landscape form, and the photos are wonderful - informal, detailed and historic.

20 pages - very slightly stiffer cover, measures 240mm (W) x 202mm (H)

Shipping included in the price.

You can buy it from the ITALIAN MOTOR store HERE - but be quick, only one copy for now...

HOPE TO HAVE MORE COPIES SOON, CONTACT US IF YOU WANT TO RESERVE ONE...
