Welcome to the International Laverda Owners Club

The ILOC was founded in the UK in 1974, and current membership now exceeds 650. We welcome everyone - riders, restorers, dealers, enthusiasts or collectors, all you need is an interest in Laverda motorcycles. The club's membership is drawn from all walks of life, and the machines represented in the club are as diverse as their owners, from the early lightweight singles and scooters, through the larger twins, to the famous triples and later 'Zane' twins.

Laverda library online

The library is a collection of rare and useful Laverda memorabilia gathered over 35 years by club members. Until recently this has been held in two dusty filing cabinets under the capable control of club archivest John Faulkner. A selection of this material is now directly available to ILOC members. A small example of the content is shown on the Library page.  To see the rest, non-members will need to join the International Laverda Owners Club and can do so instantly using PayPal.

There are currently over 400 different documents online.  These range from 1970’s A3 sales brochures and photographs of the original 1950’s Laverda racing bikes to such exotic gems as brochures on Laverda caravans and Jota 120 – ‘The return of the Orange Fireball’. There are several photographs of Laverda prototypes, the Laverda V6 and a 1000cc SOHC prototype dating from 1971.
