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. Based on a 350cc Ipotesi frame and a non-matching engine, this striking MV special was built for the late owner by his personal mechanic. There are no documents with this Lot.
