1979 MZ TS 150 Project
Registration no. KNH 219V
Frame no. 7973612
Engine no. none visible

Although the Zschopau marque established its reputation with the British motorcycling public as the purveyor of somewhat unexciting commuter machines, the East German concern had been in the forefront of high-performance two-stroke development in the post-war years. Under the direction of Walter Kaaden, the racing team achieved some notable triumphs against the might of Japanese opposition in the 1960s, and although its Grand Prix effort eventually faded, the firm produced many highly successful ISDT machines in the 1970s.

Acquired by the vendor in 1988 and last taxed in 1989, this TS 150 is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. There is surface corrosion throughout and the engine is seized. The machine is offered with an old-style V5 document. Headlamp key present.
Offered with key
