SUMMARY
Beautifully restored in the past, this is an excellent example of the rare, one year only, 175 CS GT. Substantial quantity of history, technical information etc. on file.
DESCRIPTION
- MV Agusta introduced its first production four-strokes at the Milan Show in 1952, with production of the 175cc CS, CSS and CSTL 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
- Differences between the CS and CST were mainly confined to the seating, the latter having a single saddle while the former came with a dual seat
- Additional models were introduced as the range expanded, the CS GT, as seen here, being produced for the 1957 season only
- This example was first UK-registered on 01/04/2005 and purchased by our vendor on 26/09/2018
- Restored to a very good standard in the past, its previous keeper appears to have been an absolute enthusiast judging by the size of the history file, which is undoubtedly the largest we have ever seen for a motorcycle (85 pages on the electrics alone)
- Part of a private Collection for some years so may need some light recommissioning before road use
- Supplied with restoration pics, parts catalogues, original Carta di Circolazione, MVA Club (UK) Dating Certificate, V5s, MOTs and much more
