Description
To begin with, the 750 S belongs to what many collectors consider the holy grail of the classic motorcycle world. Only 583 examples of this model were ever built, making every surviving MV Agusta something truly special. But this motorcycle has an even more remarkable story to tell.
This MV Agusta 750 S was purchased by racing driver Marcel Albers just one month before he tragically lost his life in a Formula 3 race. His family decided to keep the motorcycle and remained its custodians for more than forty years. That fact alone makes this MV Agusta unique.
The motorcycle was later completely restored and rebuilt by Alan Docking Racing as a tribute to Marcel Albers. The restoration was extensively documented with photographs, creating a comprehensive record of the entire process and preserving its history in exceptional detail.
In addition, this MV was used during the 1980s by a scientist from University of Oxford for his daily commute to work. A brilliant mind with impeccable taste, one might say. That story alone is fascinating and perfectly reflects the character and atmosphere surrounding this motorcycle.
The MV Agusta 750 S was developed as the sporting successor to the 600 and carried the racing DNA that made the marque world-famous. The four-cylinder engine, the exquisite engineering, and of course the iconic styling all make it clear why this motorcycle remains so highly regarded among enthusiasts and collectors today.
This particular example combines exclusivity, history, and emotion in a way that is rarely encountered. It is a motorcycle that is not only impressive to look at, but one that tells a story unlike any other.
You are warmly invited to view this remarkable MV Agusta in person. Do you live abroad? No problem at all; we sell worldwide and can naturally assist with export arrangements.
