1997 MZ Kanuni ETZ 251, 243cc. Registration number R490 TCH. Frame number 0696310. Engine number 2440696
By the late 1960s, MZ motorcycles were making inroads into the British market, gradually increasing their share due to the hard work of Sheffield-based MZ concessionaire Wilf Green. In the early 1970s the ES and ETS models were replaced by the TS range. By 1983 the ETZ models were in production as the 2 millionth machine was built.
Following the fall of the Berlin wall, the factory was privatised in 1990, continuing with two-stroke production with the Saxon 251, Tour and Fun models until the factory went into receivership in 1993. The two-stroke designs and manufacturing technology were eventually sold off to the Turkish Kanuni factory.
TCH was bought new by Paul Unwin of Mansfield, being sold to Antony Cliffe of Glossop in 2000 and then John Asbery of Sheffield in 2002. Our deceased vendor bought it in 2011 from A1 Motorbikes in Sheffield and there are receipts on file for works undertaken by him. The MOT history goes back to 2000 at 3,722 KM and 22,433KM in 2011, it was last done in 2015 at 22,845KM, today the speedo reads 22,865.
Sold with the V5C, V5, copies of old V5's, various MOT's, tax discs, booklets and receipts, together with a spare used engine. It will need recommissioning for road use.
