Beschreibung:

Founded in the mid-1940s in Barcelona, Montesa entered road racing in the early 1950s but its major impact on motorcycle sport would be away from the tarmac, the Scorpion and Capra moto-crossers and Cota trials being the equal of any of their contemporaries. Developed by the factory test rider Pedro Pi, Montesa's first trials machine arrived in 1967 and the following year Pi won the Spanish Trials Championship on one, now re-titled 'Cota'. In 1974 the original 250cc Cota was succeeded by the Rathmell-developed Cota 348 (actually 306cc capacity) which featured a six-speed gearbox and weighed in at around 195lb. An affordable entry into Twin-Shock trials competitions, this Cota 348 was purchased somewhere between 2010 and 2015 and last ran prior to 2016. Its mechanical condition is not known and thus the machine is sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this Lot.
