Moto Cinelli
 
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!!

I thought they packed up years ago???

Nathansmith 09-Jan-2006 11:05

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 ?

Nathansmith 09-Jan-2006 12:48

Nice!!!!
Thanks for letting me know.

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.

Paul James 10-Jan-2006 12:45

Hoss was a real character !!!

keith_mann1959 10-Jan-2006 20:37

Yes indeedy, i remember him starting the spares business in the little terraced house in Olny a few years before.
Hope he is enjoying his retirement

Nick 916 14-Mar-2006 02:46

so was a bike from them a parallel import then?

keith_mann1959 14-Mar-2006 06:24

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

jim flynn 28-Mar-2006 14:34

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.
