Bruce,

What are the 5 numbers? Are there any letters in front of the numbers? Feb
70 will make it an Ambassador. Could have been modified as a Plice Model.
Does it have floorboards?

I have been documenting Loops now for quite a while. If you can get me the
numbers I can tell you more about the bikes.

Regards...Ian

Subject: (MGCL) Need to ID an older Model


 Hello, I am new to this list and I have inherited a Moto Guzzi
Motorcycle.
 The owner passed away 2 years ago and now the parts are rusted;
brackets,
 linkage, nuts, bolts, screws. He had been using "Never Dull" to keep the
metal bright, but Never Dull cannot restore those pieces now.

Before I start any restoration and before I purchase any replacement
parts,
 I need to identify the model and I was hoping there was someone on the
list
 that could help. The title calls it an "LAPD". The property tag on the
front
 of the Steering Head says "FEB 1970" and there is a 5 digit
number for the
 frame and engine.

It is white in color and does look like an LAPD Police
Motorcycle. I think
 it may be a V7 700, V7 Special, or a V7 Ambassador. Other than a "Moto
Guzzi" decal on the gas tank, there are no other printed clues as to the
model. I know the bore would be larger for the V750 over the V700, but I
was
 hoping not to go to that extent for identification (at least not right
away). Must do some homework first, right?

Is there another means to make a positive identification?

Thanks,
Bruce Daniels
