Fantastically original, unrestored trials machine
Complete with an original dealer transfer from Julian Wigg Motorcycles
Famous for its lightweight bikes, much-loved by learner riders during the 1970s, Fantic also produced some highly competitive trials machines, one of the best-known being the Trial 300 of the early 1980s. Powered by a 249cc two-stroke engine, Trial 300s were very much in demand in lightweight trials when they were new, and are still sought-after for historic twin-shock trials today.
This Trial 300 is one of an increasingly small number that still survives in original, unrestored condition and, in fact, it must be one of the most original there is. For evidence of that, look no further than the dealer transfers for Julian Wigg Motorcycles of 29, High Street, Winslow, Bucks. It has obviously seen much use in the past and, while it could be restored, we would lean more towards preserving its great originality. It is said to have been running recently, though some recommissioning will be required. It is offered without documentation.
