1965 Greeves 250cc MX2 Challenger, rare 60’s scrambler Here is a super rare opportunity to acquire one of the mid 1960’s hottest competition scramblers - a Greeves MX2 “Challenger”.

The tank has aged but is petrol tight and although probably the scruffiest part of the bike it is well serviceable. Seat looks good , exhaust system is all good. The engine looks in good shape, no signs of abuse or butchery. No broken fi...
