Our cars are
subject to engineering refinements and on-going development. We
therefore reserve the right to change specifications and prices
accordingly. This is particularly critical with out sourced
components as we are a low volume consumer, and subject to our
suppliers increasing their prices.
Basic chassis/GRP bodywork
kit:
Bare metal chassis
(either beetleback or barrelback) and grp components (nose
cone/scuttle/rear cover/pair of mud guards) can be purchased as
a very basic starter kit. You can paint the chassis or powder
coat it, then source your own aluminium for panelling as you
proceed.
Kit contents:
Chassis in bare metal finish (beetleback or barrelback).
GRP nose cone.
GRP scuttle.
GRP rear cover (beetleback or barrelback).
GRP pair of mudguards.
Price £1995 plus VAT
Bare metal
wishbones: £200 + VAT
Gear change linkage:
£125 + VAT. Please submit your splined gear changer for us
to weld to a component. This is found on the end of your
donor gearbox.
If you want a starter kit with the chassis blasted and
epoxy powder coated, all aluminium panels pre-cut, all riv-nuts
inserted, bonnet halves louvred and formed, then please proceed
below to Body Chassis Unit (Kit 001)
Budget
Aero Merlin
rolling chassis option:
If you already have a Moto Guzzi donor bike, why not purchase a fully plumbed (brake lines and wiring loom fitted) rolling chassis!? This enables you to roll the chassis around and outside your garage/workshop.
You will receive the following, all fully fitted:
1) Epoxy powder coated chassis (beetle or barrelback) fitted with all bonded/riveted/bolted aluminium panels The main side panels will be fitted by cleko pins enabling you to remove/re-fit for additional build access. You will need to bond and rivet these side panels on eventually yourself.
2) All grp panels fitted (easily removable).
3) Bonnet panels with a total of 96 louvres, pre-formed and fitted, complete with full length stainless steel hinge.
4) All stainless steel brake lines fully fitted, including pedal box.
5) Wiring loom fitted to chassis. (Loom will be left over length enabling you to connect to switches/lights etc)
6) Light weight alloy suspension units, alloy calipers, 19 inch alloy wheels and Avon tyres, mudguard stays, all fitted.
7) Steering column, steering rack, steering wheel and boss all fully fitted.
8) Rear propshaft bearing, jig fitted to rear bulkhead. Enabling your choice of our propshafts (and reversing gearbox) to be fitted by you later.
9) Temporary light weight jockey wheel fitted to rear of chassis, enabling whole chassis to move. This is removed by you when you fit your donor swing arm.
Price: £6995 + VAT
Other items to finish the vehicle can be purchased from our options list (prices and specifications) or sourced elsewhere by you.
Budget kit
build cost guide:
It is assumed that you are providing a suitable donor Moto Guzzi bike. If not, we can assist in three ways:
a) a low mileage donor bike complete,
b) a reconditioned/rebuilt drive train,
c) brand new engine/gearbox/final drive.
All of these options are at additional cost and subject to
availability.
Full build prices:
Scroll right down to the bottom of this section.
There are two pricing
structures as kit options. You may purchase separate kits as
modules from Kit Module 001-009.
Alternatively, and
to make things easier if you are initially cost conscious, you
may purchase Kit 001 as a starter kit, then buy items
2-8 (as shown below), then from the options list as you
require them. This gets you underway with your build. It is
cheaper to buy in via the kit module system, however, you might
not want all items, perhaps already having some, or you might
want to build in a slightly different manner.

complete kit
Please note that this kit option does not
include a drivetrain (engine/gearbox/final drive), it enables
you to build a fully rolling chassis ready to receive your donor
engine, gearbox, final drive and all engine ancillaries.
Alternatively, please ask us to quote for one of
the following drivetrain options:
a) a complete low mileage bike. (expect up to
£3000). From this you can also use all items from the swing arm
and rear wheel etc. You could spend even more if buying a very
low mileage bike from the early-mid 2000s.
b) a reconditioned/rebuilt drivetrain combination (allow for up
to £3000)
c) a brand new drivetrain combination.

We can paint the GRP
components only, leaving polished bodywork, or paint the whole
car. Allow £1200 to fully paint a car.
A fully built up Moto Guzzi car is supplied with fitted
aeroscreens.
A full windscreen will add approximately £495.
Remember, we supply and use new components
only (excepting our refurbished/rebuilt
engines/drivetrains), nothing is used.
Our built up prices do not
include the costs of an MSVA test, an MOT test and full
registration. These published charges are passed on to you
at cost. We present the car for MSVA & MOT tests at cost. We cannot
control the dates of either tests or registration procedures in relation to a build.
Currently, the following costs apply to meet
UK MSVA, MOT and DVLA compliance:
MSVA Test £104, MOT test, £35, first
registration fee, £50, VED (road tax for 1 year) £74. The
nearest MSVA test centre is a 150 mile round trip (north of
Heathrow airport), and the test lasts for 4 hours. A
presentation fee for both tests and DVLA check in Brighton
(including fuel), is charged for at a cost of £250.
We cannot guarantee the year/age
related registration that DVLA will allocate. We endeavour to
work with DVLA in obtaining an age related registration number,
or a new number, generally, however the final registration
number is down to DVLA's discretion and guidelines.
For MG3 cars using brand new
components throughout, and/or one fully reconditioned unit
(engine/gearbox), we can obtain a new registration should you
wish, or, an age related registration number.
We reserve the right to increase prices even
once quoted, should our suppliers do likewise.
UK VAT at 20% is added to all prices unless
the kit is exported outside the EU.
