Registration no. unregistered
Frame no. none visible

Offered here is a special one-off machine inspired by the legendary MV Agusta four-cylinder 500cc Grand Prix racer of 1974, which was ridden to overall victory in that year's World Championship by Phil Read (it would be MV's last). This Grand Prix replica boasts a handmade frame, which is wrapped around a Japanese four-cylinder engine. Other notable features include Marzocchi suspension units; Brembo brakes; cast alloy wheels; a handmade alloy fuel tank and front mudguard; a glassfibre seat and fairing; and a custom-made four-pipe megaphone exhaust system, all fabricated by Domenico Tavoni in Modena, Italy.

As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
