First introduced in 1947 and 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. The cycle parts comprised a twin-downtube swinging-arm frame and blade-type girder forks. Designated 'TEL' (Tourism E Lusso = Touring and Luxury) for 1949, the 125 was joined in 1952 by a broadly similar 150cc version. The latter had 7.5bhp on tap and could exceed 50mph, but the biggest advantage conferred by the larger engine was one of improved flexibility. For 1953 both TEL models could be ordered with hydraulically damped telescopic forks (an option) and came with full-width alloy hubs as seen in this example, which has been restored by a specialist. The machine is offered with an ACI Certificate and an old Italian registration document.
