Lot no. 122
Moto Guzzi 500 Dondolino No reserve COLLECTION BRUNO LAFOURCADE Sans titre de circulation N° de cadre 24838 - Rare machine de course - Restauration totale - Représentative de l'âge d'or de Moto Guzzi en course - Sans réserve Comme le souligne François Chevalier : " Bruno Lafourcade, contrairement à moi, avait un faible pour les Moto Guzzi. Il les aimait de la même façon qu'il aimait les Bugatti. " C'est pour cela que l'on retrouvait quatre machines de la marque de Mandello del Lario dans sa collection dont cette magnifique 500 Dondolino. Véritable " compé-client " réalisée par l'usine, la 500 Dondolino était dérivée de la Condor d'avant-guerre. Un frein à tambour en magnésium de grand diamètre, un ressort unique à l'arrière, un garde-boue profilé sont les principales modifications apportées à la partie-cycle. Le moteur reçoit de nouveaux réglages de carburation, d'allumage et de distribution et un volant d'équilibrage à section rectangulaire. Le monocylindre horizontal culbuté est suffisamment modifié pour que la machine atteigne 170 km/h. Cette machine possède un historique récent assez complet. Achetée dans une vente judiciaire en Italie en 1969 ou 1970, la Dondolino a été étonnamment transformée en version " street legal " ! A la fin des années 70, la machine est vendue " moteur grippé " à un nouveau propriétaire. La Dondolino est entièrement restaurée dans les ateliers d'Altinier Motorcycle entre 1986 et 87 et Bruno Lafourcade en fait l'acquisition en 2003. Un document d'un expert reconnu atteste de la conformité de cette rare machine. Unregistered Frame n°24838 - Rare racing bike - Complete restoration - Representative of Moto Guzzi's golden age in racing - No reserve As François Chevalier stresses: "Unlike me, Bruno Lafourcade had a penchant for Moto Guzzis. He loved them in the same way he loved Bugattis." It is for this reason that his collection included four bikes from Mandello del Lario, among them this magnificent 500 Dondolino. A true 'customer competition' model built by the factory, the 500 Dondolino was developed from the pre-war Condor. A large-diameter magnesium drum brake, a single rear spring and a streamlined mudguard were the main changes made to the chassis. The engine had new carburettor, ignition and timing settings, as well as a balance wheel with a rectangular cross-section. There were enough changes to the single-cylinder pushrod engine for the bike to reach 170kph. This example has a fairly complete recent history. Bought at a sale held by order of the court in Italy in 1969 or 1970, amazingly, the Dondolino has been converted into a street-legal machine! At the end of the 1970s, the bike was sold "with its engine seized" to a new owner. The Dondolino was completely restored in the Altinier Motorcycle workshops from 1986-87, and Lafourcade acquired it in 2003. A document from a recognised expert confirms the conformity of this rare machine.
