After the launch of its first production four-stroke - a 175cc, overhead-camshaft, unitary construction single - MV followed up in 1954 with the similar, although overhead-valve, Gran Turismo 125. Similar models in other capacities followed, the first 150cc offerings appearing in 1959. Gran Turismo (GT), Rapido Sport (RS) and Rapido Sport America (RSA) versions were produced. Like their larger siblings, the small MVs were very expensive, costing as much as a British 500, which explains why so few of these the exquisitely engineered little bikes were sold in the UK. This 150 Rapido Sport displays a total of only 125 kilometres on the odometer, which is believed to be the distance travelled since its partial restoration (the toolboxes and front mudguard look repainted while the tank and other tinware appears original). The seat has been re-covered, the engine turns over with compression, and the machine presents well. Accompanying documentation consists of a NOVA Acknowledgement, an ACI Foglio Complementare, and the original Italian registration document. The vendor has had the machine running recently.
