Probably one of the batch that Leichester Motorcycles in the UK was selling several years ago.  The paint is an olive drab with a satin finish.  The original issue paint was also olive, but a gloss finish, I believe.  The UK exporter bought a bunch from Italy, gave them a slight going over and repainted all the sheet metal work before selling them.  I imported one of the bikes from Leichester with the buddy seat and grab rail over the rear fender back then.

Hi John!

Yes... John brought it over, and I ended up buying it from him. Along with its 1955 brother. And still have them both.

The Nuovo is the equivalent of riding a Basset Hound. Gentle, soft and sweet...and totally under-appreciated!

I'm currently shopping for an NF now. Luckily for me, there are lots to choose from. Found a juicy clean one for X000 Euro.😊

More common in Europe but very rare to find in North America.

Here's the one I might buy. Owner said it might be sold already, but I get next shot at it.

Those are both very nice. You are fortunate to have many more choices in Europe.
