Description

Hi there.
(Sorry to anyone who previously watched this but had to re advertise because of tech issues with original advert).
This is my MV Agusta 235 Tevere that i have had since 2007, can't believe it’s been that long really, 18 years, where does the time go!
A rare bike even in MV circles as only made for 2 years. Even rarer as this is a genuine UK supplied machine. There were no MV dealers in the UK in 1960 so someone really wanted one it seems. I am only the 3rd owner and the bike has been in the Cotswolds it's entire life. I have an original old cardboard logbook so it's owners and history are all recorded.
One of mine and my wife's favourite MV's, we have had many as i was on the MV Owners Club committee at one time, but time has caught up with me and it's just not getting used enough any more.
Has been to events all over Europe, France, Germany, Holland, Spain etc, as well as back to the MV factory in Italy for the Revival on occasions. Always reliable and great fun.
The 235 has more torque than it's 175 siblings but not a buzzy as the 250 twin, or as heavy.
The condition is used, not all shiny etc, some would call it patina i believe. The paint on the tank is poor as it's flaking away but i love this as it adds to the character of the bike. There are a couple of non standard items that elude to it's UK history. The rear light is a Wipac i think and the speedo (very accurate btw) looks like it's off a BSA C15 (therefore total millage is unknown). It would have been almost impossible to get parts for this bike back then so the owners just adapted what was available. I have left these items as is because it just adds to it's uniqueness imo.
I have some paperwork, owners manual and period price lists etc as well as V5's and above mentioned old logbook. Also a written list of all maintenance work i have done over the years
Viewing in West Oxfordshire and if you would like more info or pics please just ask away. I do have a video i did of it running i could send but please be aware I'm not very good with technology!
Email contact only at first please..............
Thanks.
