MV Agusta introduced its first production four-strokes at the Milan Show in 1952, with manufacture of the 175cc CS, CSS, and CST commencing in 1954. The newcomers' advanced overhead-cam, unitary construction engine set them apart from most of the opposition, while their cycle parts too were state-of-the-art, consisting of a duplex loop frame incorporating the engine as a stressed member; oil-damped telescopic front fork; swinging-arm rear suspension; and full-width alloy hubs. MV's overhead-cam 175s lasted until 1959, by which time they had effectively been superseded by the AB range of pushrod overhead-valve models: Turismo, Turismo Economica, America, and America Lusso.
The vendor advises us that this MV Agusta 175 AB benefits from a full rebuild. The machine has belonged to our vendor for the last four years but has not been used in that time. Recommissioning will be required before further use. Note the non-standard twin-leading-shoe front brake. There are no documents with this Lot.
