The Appeal
The Montesa Cota 247 carries a rich history of trials racing. This model was a champion in its time, winning various titles including the American trials championships from 1979 to 1981 and the European and World Championships in 1969 and 1980. Agile, high-octane and characterful, it's little wonder that enthusiasts still eagerly seek these marvellous retro mounts.
This specific bike has been gently revitalised after a long period of disuse. It now operates effectively, with the gears shifting smoothly and the brakes functioning as they should. This is a great opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors to own a piece of motorbike history.
