As the title says, anyone know anything about them? Looks like they're the latest to try and make a go of selling MV's in the Westcountry ..... :-ss ~x( x_x

Went to their old location, good set up, seem to have a load of good mechanics as well as a dyno. They work with Woolich systems.
Do a damn good breakfast too.

As above, good breakfast.

No sign of any MV's yet.

Youngish owner. Went to collage with another mechanic I know.

Odd in that it is in a townhouse with a barber upstairs.

Workshops seem a bit open to the elements.

And strangely my new office is 100 yards away.

If I see anything happening, I'll let you know.

They have a second venue down at the Plaza on the Barbican. A couple of Devon YouTubers did a video about it last week.

As above, it would appear that they have opened a new site in Sutton Harbour/The Barbican specifically for MV Agusta. Haven't had a chance to go for a look yet, but they've had their official opening now ......
