According to reports, MV Agusta could finally have some purchasers with Claudio Castiglioni and Federico Minoli registering their interest.
Castiglioni has been working at MV Agusta since its rebirth and has kept the ship from sinking since Harley Davidson announced it wants to sell its Italian brand.
Castiglioni’s is a name linked to the success of the company, along with Tamburini, as producing some of the great Agusta models.
Minoli is the ex-CEO of Ducati who headed operations in the early 2000’s.
Together with Terblanche, he is associated with some of the more controversial models, including the Ducati 749, 999 and the Multistrada.
While the future of MV Agusta is still uncertain, Castiglioni and Minoli have been credited with being the possible purchasers of the company.
Castiglioni is backed by Italy’s Intesa San Paolo bank and finance papers report that the company could finally come back to Italian ownership.
Minoli resigned from Ducati back in 2007 and would now appear to have the backing of a private equity fund that could help with the reported 34 million euros required to buy MV Agusta (2009 valuation).
Many Italian fans will be hoping the move comes off and they can go back to MV Agusta made in Italy.
