Good-looking and stylish, the MAV was made in Italy by Motori Ausiliari Velocipedi, hence the initials. Initially involved in the manufacture of scooters and engines for mopeds, they also produced a limited number of motocross motorcycles using Hiro engines. Hiro two-stroke engines were made in various capacities by Andrea Mosconi. Whilst most of the MAV motocross machines seem to have been 125cc, this is an example of the rarer 250cc version.
Possibly unrestored, or an older restoration, the MAV will require re-commissioning prior to further use. It has conventional twin-shock rear suspension with Corte & Cosso Cross dampers, alloy petrol tank, lightweight plastic mudguards and side panels, with drum brakes front and rear. There is no documentation, and whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
