As soon as its 125cc two-stroke roadster appeared, MV began developing a racing version, although at first it was not that different from the standard model. Shortcomings soon became apparent, leading to a hasty redesign in the form of a new cylinder head with enlarged finning. Thus improved, MV's 125 racer achieved its first major success, winning at the Grand Prix des Nations at Faenza in 1948. For 1949 there was an entirely new version, featuring a more streamlined engine, a four-speed gearbox (replacing the earlier three-speed) and a new frame with swinging-arm rear suspension. Ideal for privateers, MV's 125cc two-stroke racers were a major success, winning the arduous Milan-Taranto road race in 1950, '51 and '52. This charming example of MV's little 125cc two-stroke racer is an older restoration.
