1953 MV Agusta 150cc TEL 'Sport Competizione'
Frame no. 032584/4
Engine no. S 0206895

Much better engineered than any British contemporary, the MV Agusta's 125cc TEL 'stroker' of 1949 was powered by a neat unitary construction single-cylinder engine which, somewhat unusually for a post-war design, featured detachable transfer ports. The 125 MV offered here is presented in Competizione specification, intended for Italy's popular long-distance races such as Milan-Taranto and the Moto Giro d'Italia. We are advised that the late owner carried out a 'last nut and bolt' restoration during 2018/2019, including a full engine rebuild (we note, however, the brightwork is furring up throughout and would benefit from attention). After completion, the machine received a 1st place award in the MV concours at the 'Festival of 1000 Bikes' in 2019, where Giacomo Agostini signed the tank (see photograph on file). Turning over with good compression, the MV is offered with an invoice (dated December 2018) for a crankshaft recondition with con-rod kit and re-assembly. There is no import paperwork with this Lot.
