UNICEF UK is auctioning Ewan McGregor’s Moto Guzzi California Vintage motorbike, to raise money for children affected by conflict or natural disasters around the world.

“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.”

Originally designed in 1971, the Moto Guzzi California Vintage motorbike has been used by police forces in several US states, including the LAPD. It has an air cooled V-twin engine with a capacity of 1064cc. As comfortable as an armchair, the seat enables you to enjoy the landscape in the shelter of a large windshield. This is a true traveller’s vehicle and a once in a lifetime opportunity to bid for this unique item.

UNICEF UK raises money for projects helping children around the world. The money raised from this auction will go to our Children’s Emergency Fund, which enables us to launch a response for children the moment a disaster strikes. Whether it is a flood, conflict or earthquake, UNICEF provides life-saving supplies such as health kits, food and shelter to children and families in need.

Ewan continues: “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. On behalf of UNICEF, thank you for your support.”
