Montesa was formed in 1944 and although they produced many models of motorcycles and bicycles it wasn't until the 1960s and 70s that they enjoyed massive growth and some success with their competition motorcycles mainly in trials. They were available with many different engine sizes and won many national championships as well as the world title on a 247 in 1980 with Ulf Karlsson.
Trials models were offered in many different sizes 25, 49, 125, 175, 250, 348 and 349, as were motocrossers 125, 175, 250, 360 and 414. This also included a line of street and Enduro models also.
This example appears to have been an older restoration, with matching numbers to the crankcases. Our vendor states it is a good runner although the carb can be a bit temperamental until it is running.
