Actor Ewan McGregor is putting his personalised Moto Guzzi California up for auction from the 27th of November in aid of Unicef and his role as a Unicef ambassador.
The bike was purchased directly from the Moto Guzzi factory at Mandello del Lario in Lombardy, Italy, and will be up for auction on eBay.
All proceeds from the auction will go to Unicef and its work in helping children around the world.
McGregor’s statement on the eBay site for the auction reads:“Hello, I’m Ewan McGregor, a UNICEF Ambassador, and I’m donating my Moto Guzzi motorcycle to UNICEF for auction on eBay.
It’s the first of its kind in this colour and one of my favourite bikes.
I collected this bike from the Moto Guzzi factory in Italy and rode it back to London.
I’ve loved riding it ever since and I know that you will too.
“As a UNICEF Ambassador, I’ve been greatly privileged to visit a number of incredibly inspiring UNICEF projects and see the impact of its work on children and their families.
Only one person will end up owning my motorbike but I would urge everyone visiting this site to make a donation to UNICEF.
You have the ability to help ensure that UNICEF continues its vital work protecting children when disasters occur.
”It’s a worthy cause and hey, maybe you could be the lucky owner at the end of the auction!
