Much better engineered than any British contemporary, MV's 125cc two-stroke was powered by a neat, unitary construction, single-cylinder engine featuring detachable transfer ports. A development of this engine went into the unusual Pullman model of 1953, which combined elements of both the scooter and motorcycle. One of the Pullman's most distinctive features was its frame, which employed a large-diameter curving front down-tube, while the foot-boards, single sprung saddle, twist-grip gearchange, and small wheel/wide tyre combination were clearly scooter inspired. In 1955 it was joined by the Super Pullman, which despite the name was a proper motorcycle of entirely new design, albeit still a 125cc two-stroke.
This apparently well restored example of an MV lightweight rarely seen in the UK is offered with French registration papers.
