Gavin, You know more than I do it seems. I just wanted to inform or remind
you that frame and engine numbers should match in terms of what came from
the factory. Yes, I did hear that Guzzi did use whatever engines they had
available, a very popular and economic practice for all vehicle
manufacturers. But, in order to confirm the last part of your question I
defer to professor Adkins. Good luck, let us know if you pick up this bird!
Bob

| Hiya Bob, I spent a few hours last night reading old messages from this group and found this from Ian Adkins... "The only series of Loops that had mismatched frame and engine numbers |
| the V700's. Frame numbers for this series ranged from 1xxx to 2xxx. Engine numbers for all I recorded were higher than the frame numbers but followed no pattern. What I learned was that they merely took whatever engine was next on the assembly line and stuck it into the frame that was ready. |
| bikes did not have a VIN plate rather the numbers were stamped into the steering head (and into the engine casing of course). These bikes were produced 1966-1968 (approx)" Is that correct still? Regards Gavin
