c.1956 MV Agusta Project
Registration no. Unregistered
Frame no. 633537
Engine no. 632847
Disappointed by the poor sales of its 1960 line-up, which featured a trio of newcomers with engines displacing 99, 235 and 300cc, MV Agusta returned to the more traditional capacity classes for 1961, launching the all-new Centomila in 125 and 150cc variants. They were powered by an overhead-valve four-stroke single built in unit with a four-speed gearbox, which went into MV's familiar set of lightweight cycle parts. Like their larger siblings, the small MVs were very expensive - typically costing almost as much as a British 500 in the UK - which explains why so few of these exquisitely engineered little bikes were sold in this country.
Believed to date from circa 1956, this MV Agusta project is believed to be a 125cc model. Offered dismantled and incomplete, this rewarding project comprises a frame, engine, headlamp, speedometer, petrol tank, dual seat, toolbox, mudguards, hubs, wheel rims, and sundry parts. Its condition and completeness is unknown, and is therefore offered strictly as viewed.
All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
