One of motorcycling's many legends, Bultaco's foundation was occasioned by the resignation of Francisco Xavier Bulto from Montesa, a company he had co-founded with Pedro Permanyer in 1945. The Montesa board wanted to withdraw from racing; Bulto disagreed and left in 1958, taking most of the racing department with him to set up a new company: Bultaco. By the spring of 1959 the fledgling concern's first model was ready for production. Given the circumstances of Bultaco's birth, it should have surprised no one that the company began racing soon afterwards, successfully entering a team in the roadster class at the 1959 Spanish Grand Prix. Trials and moto-cross models followed in the mid-1960s, the first Pursang scrambler appearing at the start of the 1965 season. Early examples sold in the UK came with Rickman-built frames and four-speed gearboxes, but from 1967 the Pursangs were entirely Spanish-built and had a five-speed transmission.
This Pursang formerly belonged to a Mr Scott (now deceased) of Forfar, Angus, prior to which it had formed part of a private collection and been kept in its glass display case in the then owner's office. Unused for over 30 years, the machine will require re-commissioning and/ or restoration to a greater or lesser extent following this period of inactivity. Sold strictly as viewed.
