Lot 118 - A 1957 MV Agusta 175 CSTL, registration number 408 XUK, frame number 419244, engine number 41397T, black/ red. Having commenced motorcycle production late in 1945 with a 98cc two-stroke, Meccanica Verghera (MV) introduced its first production four-strokes, the single cylinder 175CST and CSTL tourers, at the 1952 Milan Show. The newcomers advanced overhead-cam, unitary construction engine set them apart from most of the opposition. Their cycle parts too were of the highest quality and state of the art, consisting of a duplex loop frame which incorporated the engine as a stressed member, oil damped telescopic front forks, swing arm rear suspension and full width alloy wheels. This Moto Giro D’Italia eligible CSTL has been restored to a high standard incorporating some modern upgrades to improve reliability. These include a 12 volt power dynamo conversion and electronic ignition. Having seen low but regular use in recent years this beautifully restored MV will be offered for auction with some history. V5C MOT and tax exempt
