Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

MV Agusta introduced their first production scooter in 1949 at the Milan Trade Fair. The scooter, dubbed the “B” model had typical characteristics of many post-war Italian scooters – a monocoque, pressed steel body housing a 125cc two-stroke engine. In 1950 a model “C” was released and known as the CSL or “C” Super Lusso and sported a tubular frame.

Later that same year, a variation of the CSL was released with less bodywork and a more affordable price, known first as the Normale then the Populare, MV finally branded it CGT or “C” Gran Turismo. It weighted 189lbs, had 4 gears, 6hp, could reach nearly 50mph and was priced at a competitive 175,000 lire.

This example is VIN: 538023; Engine: 537993.

There is no odometer, true mileage unknown.

Maintenance:
The seller states, “Tank does not have fuel and was drained before storage but appears to have sand or material in the bottom of the tank so it will need cleaned and flushed. Throttle cable is broken. Motor turns over and has compression.”

Modifications:

Inside of the tank:
