Moto Italia Back Issue

Morton's Book Publishing produced an excellent book/magazine on Italian motorcycle exotica, I bought my copy in September 2005 I believe and still refer back to it. Included in that magazine was an interview by Alan Cathcart with Pierre Terblanche on how the Sport Classic range came about. You can order a copy from here, price - a bargain at £5.
