SUMMARY
Very rare, unrestored and original MV Agusta 4C.
DESCRIPTION
- Part of the late Alan Elderton Collection
- The first road-going four-cylinder from MV Agusta and undoubtedly the rarest. Introduced in 1967, only 135 examples were built with 127 recorded as being sold
- Failed to attract a buying audience due to its unusual cosmetic design
- Fitted with the instantly recognisable four-cylinder 592cc engine and Campagnolo-supplied, cable-operated front disc brakes
- This is a largely original and unrestored example
- Exported by the factory to the USA and imported by Alan to the UK in 2002
- Complete with its original tool kit
- Featured in the March 2012 Classic Motor Cycle magazine with a copy included
- Last run on the road in 2011 so will require some recommissioning before use
- The bike's history file contains MOT Certificates from 2002 to 2011, old tax discs, import paperwork and a very rare, original Owners Handbook
- Complete with its original rear shocks and some other used spares
- UK-registered with a current V5C
- An opportunity to acquire one of the rarest and most collectable MV Agustas ever produced
