antp ◊ 2006-10-23 10:20	Isn't Venturi considered as a make? I thought that MVS was just the company.

Rinspeed ◊ 2006-10-23 12:29	yes but the make is venturi (the badge is a venturi logo) and not MVS and the model is Coupé.

MVS ...changed it's name to Venturi S.A in 1990. in january 2000 the company went bankrupt... july 2000 was taken over by the Monaco racing team (latest 2006 address:- Venturi automobiles,Gildo Pastor Center,7 rue du Gabian,MC 98000, Monaco. ..So I guess you are correct that this is just Venturi (not MVS ...as it's a 1991 model)
bref ◊ 2006-10-23 13:23	Well, I have a MVS badge home given by a garage owner in Bordeaux who was "correspondant" for MVS and later Venturi. I gave it to me as people were changing them for free when MVS became Venturi and he had plenty of MVS badge!!!So it could be a MVS, venturi badged

TheHeartbreakKid15 ◊ 2007-10-28 22:20	According to mycarcheck.co.uk J1MVS is an MVS Venturi
dsl ◊ 2022-11-10 00:32	J1 MVS ✓ SORN ✗ MOT Expired: 28 May 2018 Vehicle make MVS VENTURI Date of first registration September 1991 Year of manufacture 1991 Cylinder capacity 2849 cc Export marker No Vehicle colour BLUE Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 18 June 2021 Book comment that UK sales were tried from 1991, including the RHD conversion, but quickly bombed. 2nd attempt in 1994 with Atlantique 300 and new ownership was similarly brief.
993cc ◊ 2022-11-10 00:46	DVLA may call it an MVS, the reg says MVS but the badge on the car is the Venturi bird...maybe a late registration? MVS Venturi edit: imo this name change is a minor thing (there are much worse cases with several changes in a shorter span) but since we already have them split... -- Last edit: 2022-11-10 01:47:00
