SUMMARY
A stunning, John Mossey-restored example of MM's beautiful 250, that has been in a private collection for over 25 years and may need some light recommissioning. UK-registered on a current V5C. A rare opportunity to buy a well restored example of the final iteration of the MM250.
DESCRIPTION
- MM (Moto Mazzetti) was a respected Italian motorcycle brand from Bologna, Italy known for powerful, high-performance bikes in the 1950s, featuring advanced tech like OHC engines and telescopic forks. Mario Mazzetti is considered one of the most illustrious names in the motorcycle industry and built bikes between 1924 and 1957 with many of his machines achieving success in motorcycle racing
- This is one of the last bikes to be produced, before the company went out of production in 1957 and is a stunning restored example of the now very rare MM250 (251A) featuring a semi-unit construction gearbox and telescopic front forks with sliding rear suspension
- Restored a few years ago by marque specialist John Mossey (JMC Restorations) to a very high standard and has covered just 478 miles since. This matching-numbers bike remains in first-class condition and is testament to John's restoration skills
- It has been on display in our vendor's family collection for over 25 years and although described as 'running', it will require the usual light recommissioning prior to returning to the road
- Supplied with a history folder including the Italian import paperwork from 1998, old MOTs, marque information and a current V5C (correctly classed as Historic)
- A rare opportunity to buy a well restored example of the final iteration of the MM250
