1977 MV Agusta 350 Sport 'Ipotesi'
Frame no. MV350BE 2160488
Engine no. 2160654

Introduced at the Milan Show in 1971, MV's first production 350 roadster was basically an over-bored version of the existing 250B model that had been around since 1967. Two versions were made: the 350GT tourer and 350B sports roadster, both of which were updated with 12-volt electrics and electronic ignition in October 1972. They were replaced for 1975 by restyled, 'square case' 350 Sport/GT equivalents - also known as the Ipotesi (hypothesis) - the makeover being the work of celebrated car designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro. The basic engine architecture remained unchanged, but power went up to 34bhp at 8,500 revs with a commensurate increase in performance. Apparently cosmetically restored, this Ipotesi displays a total of 21,674 kilometres on the odometer and would respond well to detailing. The engine turns over with compression, and there is a crack to the speedometer lens. One key is present but there is no import paperwork with this Lot. Offered with a part list.
