Hiya
Can anyone tell me if Moto Cinelli are still based at the following address:
Westgate House
Gambrel Road
Northampton
NN5 5BB

A Google search didn't prove very fruitful!

Thanks!!

Yep, they may well have done! I've just been going through some of my old paperwork that I got with my 900SL, and I just wondered how much of it was still relevant!
Cheers!

I've driven up the road a couple of times and seen nothing... fairly sure they're long gone.
Cheers

Went ages ago I'm afraid. Last time I went past there were pikies on the car park adding their unique presence to the general ambience of the area.

They were in effect the UK importer I think you'll find, Ducati UK probably the nearest thing to that now ?

Hoss elm who owned Moto Cinelli evolved into Ducati Uk at an address very close to this one. then obviously moved to M.K some time after.

I don't know , depends on when i suppose as there would have been a time when they switched into official.

No they weren't parallel importers they were the official one. Foggy used to have Moto Cinelli stickers on his tank before the days of Ducati UK.
