MOTO GUZZI GT16 500, 1933
A piece of history in the garage
Chassis: 1303
Odometer reading: 18937 km.
Original provenance: Governorate of Rome
Skilful 1970s restoration
Jealously preserved
Registered with papers
The GT16 first appeared in 1931, a marriage of frame and engine, with side overhead valves derived from the Sport 15 model, and the GT's rear suspension. More modern in appearance due to its saddle tank, the bike had a much simpler rear frame, with a single upper swinging arm on either side of the rear wheel. The oil tank also had the triangular shape derived from the Sport 15. Just over seven hundred were produced and sold between 1931 and 1934. The model offered at auction is the result of a skillful and careful restoration in the 1970s, achieved by combining parts from a GT16 for the frame and a GTS for the engine, whose provenances were traced in the Moto Guzzi Archives

The GT 16 first appeared in 1931, a combination of chassis and engine, with overhead side valves, deriving from the Sport 15 model, and the rear suspension of the GT. Looking more modern thanks to its saddle tank, the bike featured a much simpler rear frame, with a single upper wishbone, either side of the rear wheel. Even the oil tank had the triangular shape derived from the Sport 15. Just over seven hundred examples produced and sold between 1931 and 1934. The model offered for auction is the result of a skillful and accurate restoration in the 70s, obtained from the union of parts from a GT 16 for the chassis and a GTS for the engine whose origins have been traced in the Moto Guzzi Archives.
