Moto Guzzi Motocarro Typo 107

The Moto Guzzi Motocarro Typo 107 was the first of the Moto Guzzi triporteurs, which appeared in 1928. The whole front of the machine was a Moto Guzzi Sport onto which a frame was screwed, and the machine could quickly be converted back to a regular motorcycle. It cost 8,150 lira without a trailer and 8,600 lira with one. Like the Sport it had one engine block holding engine and gearbox, with a common sump and an automatic dry sump lubrication system, a head and side valve engine with an overhead exhaust valve fed by a push rod and rocker arm, a three-speed gearbox and a chain to the rear wheel. It had a drum brake on the front wheel, a girder fork with a central helical spring and two leaf spring assemblies over the rear axle that sprang the container rather than the engine.
