Highlights
- Rare 50th Anniversary edition - only 50 produced
- Single-cylinder 298cc engine
- Non-registered example
- In current ownership since 2019
The Appeal
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Cota trials line, Montesa really went all out on the anniversary edition. Only fifty of these editions were built, taking the Cota 300RR and packing it full of premium picks from the parts bin, with a special livery and styling cues inspired by the Montesa D-51 and Impala.
This particular example is offered in true collector's condition, having been carefully preserved since acquisition in 2019. The vendor reports that the motorcycle has been stored in a heated room from new, which has very evidently resulted in a beautifully kept bike.
With its 298cc single-cylinder engine and five-speed manual transmission, it's a hardy piece of kit that's born for trialing, but it's equally a simply superb collector's piece, and one that's well worthy of preservation.
