There have been some important recent arrivals at the acclaimed Sammy Miller Museum. The New Forest institution has just received a 1974 MV Agusta 750cc Sport: the four-cylinder Italian exotic superbike was limited to just 583 machines, built in Gallarate, Italy, and is now taking pride of place in the museum.
The MV will be joined by some much older machinery, including a record-breaking AJS 990cc V-twin, which was timed at 130mph in 1931 at Arpajon, ridden by Captain Oliver Baldwin. Other new restorations include a super-rare JD Bowden 175cc T/S, a 1951 Trials Douglas 350 twin, a Velocette 700 Vertical Twin and a 1950 Bond Minibyke. They’ll all be entered into the museum’s restoration workshop for some much-needed TLC before going on display.
