There are cars you know nothing about. Cars you may never even have heard of. And yet, the moment you stand in front of one, everything somehow makes sense. This is one of those vehicles. The Laverda X4. No, not a motorcycle. No Jota, no 1000 triple. But a four-wheel-drive people carrier from Italy. Entirely serious. Seating for nine. And far more character than you might expect.

The X4 was built in the 1980s by Moto Laverda—the very same people who normally produced high-performance superbikes. Suddenly, they decided to build a compact off-road van for rural Italy. Because they believed it could be done. And because they believed there was a need for it. The result was a project so rare that even seasoned enthusiasts often have to consult the archives to confirm it ever existed.

This particular X4 has been fully restored, and not in a superficial sense. The original factory brochure served as the blueprint for the restoration. Take a look at the photos on our website. The paintwork, the interior, the mechanicals—everything points to one thing: this is a tribute. A tribute to a wonderfully unconventional idea, to a remarkable brand, and to a time when experimentation was still encouraged.

There is extensive photographic documentation of the entire restoration process, clearly showing that no corners were cut. The result? An X4 that looks as though it rolled out of the showroom yesterday. As if the brochure images from 1985 have suddenly come to life. We are genuinely impressed by the choice of materials and the level of craftsmanship. This is a restoration of a very high standard, and the overall presentation is excellent.

Its designation is “Civile – trasporto persone,” which perfectly describes its purpose. This is not a military version, nor a utilitarian workhorse, but a civilian people carrier—designed to transport groups. Friends, family, neighbors, whoever you choose to bring along. With seating for nine, silence is never an option. And with four-wheel drive, neither is turning back early.

The engineering is robust. The design is unapologetically angular. The driving position is commanding. And the experience? Priceless. You don’t step into a van—you step into a story from forty years ago. A rare reminder of Italian individuality. Because this was never a commercial success. It was a detour. And precisely that detour is what makes it so charming today.

This X4 is for the collector who already has everything. Or for the entrepreneur looking to offer guests something truly memorable. Or simply for you—if you’ve had enough of blending in behind the wheel of something gray and anonymous. Because no one—and we really mean no one—drives a Laverda X4.

And that is exactly why you should.
