MV Agusta is one of the most famous names in motorcycle history having won 270 Grand Prix races, 38 World Riders' Championships and 37 World Constructors Championships with legendary riders such as Giacomo Agostini, Mike Hailwood, Phil Read, Carlo Ubbiali, Gary Hocking and John Surtees. It all began in the early years of the 20th century when Count Giovanni Agusta left Sicily for northern Italy where he built his first aircraft, the AG1, four years after the Wright brothers had made history in the USA. Before the end of WW2 he identified a need for cheap transport once hostilities were over and had developed a 98cc engine that went into production in 1946. Count Domenico Agusta had a passion for motorcycle racing and much like Enzo Ferrari, the Agusta family produced motorcycles almost exclusively to fund their racing efforts, with the company going on to dominate Grand Prix racing in the '50s, '60s and '70s.

This MV Agusta CSTL, being offered at 'no reserve', has just one owner recorded on its Italian documentation before being imported into the UK. A typically stylish and curvacious Italian bike of the 1950s, this 175 Turismo Lusso was previously restored by an MV specialist in Turin. Copies of the original documentation will be supplied with the machine to aid registration in the UK. The bike has not been run for a while so will need some recommissioning.
