Although best known for their racing and road-going four-cylinder four-strokes, MV-Agusta built lightweights throughout its manufacturing career, and in its early days listed small two-strokes and even a scooter. Indeed, one of the marque's earliest Grand Prix results - 5th place in the Dutch 125 round in 1950 - was achieved by a two-stroke. Much better engineered than any British contemporary, the 125 MV was powered by a neat unitary construction single-cylinder engine which, somewhat unusually for a post-war design, featured detachable transfer ports. The cycle parts comprised a twin-downtube swinging-arm frame and girder forks. The machine offered here appears to consist of the cycle parts of an early 'Motore Lungo' (also known as the 'Carter Lungo') competition model and the four-speed engine from a TEL roadster (see 'MV Agusta' by Colombo/Patrignani, pages 131-132 and 134-135). There is no import paperwork with this unfinished project, which is offered for completion and sold strictly as viewed.
