Moto Guzzi
The author has brought together a rare collection of photographs to tell the remarkable story of Moto Guzzi from its tentative beginnings at Mandello del Lario on Lake Como just after the First World War. The first machines, which borrowed features from advanced aero-engines, were immediately successful in competition in the 1920s, and quickly established a reputation to match that of the other leading manufacturers of the day. But the prestige of a win at the Isle of Man TT eluded the company until the great Stanley Woods made their name by winning the 1935 Senior TT on a Moto Guzzi V-twin.
David Styles's thoroughly researched, fully illustrated account of the marque brings the story right up to date by covering the latest generation of Moto Guzzis which are the most sophisticated products of Italy's oldest surviving motorcycle maker.
DAVID G. STYLES is a professional writer who specializes in industrial and engineering subjects. He is the editor of The Vintage Motor Cycle Club Journal and the author of books on Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin & Lagonda, Datsun, MG, Porsche and Riley."
This is an interesting historical overview of Moto Guzzi's production of motorcycles from 1920 to 2000. hard back, with 192 pages of very extensive black and white photographs and illustrations. No colour section, but the book is very photograph driven, with the authors text supporting the extensive selection of photographs really well.
A worthwhile addition to any guzzisti's book collection.
