1977 SOLD Montesa Cota 348 Trail, VGC, matching numbers SOLD

BIKE IS NOW SOLD, sorry to the two other potential buyers.

This is a very rare Montesa Cota 348 Trail. Similar to the Cota 348, this model had a bigger fuel capacity, longer seat, raised 5th and 6th gear for road sections, and a full lighting set. This model was never imported into the UK and I bought it in Spain for gentle trail riding. The bike is UK road registered with an Historic Vehicle V5 and if I get near the asking price I will renew the MOT. It has matching frame and engine numbers 51M50296.

I have owned the bike four years and have done 54kms in that time. It was completely restored in Spain before I bought it using numerous new old stock parts. It is cosmetically really good, and mechanically new with new engine internals, chain and sprocket, brake shoes. To be near perfect the bike could do with the wheels being dismantled and the hubs and rims polished, but as I planned to use the bike I have never done this. I can send a video of it running.

The bike was bought from new in 1977 by the family in Spain I bought the bike from. It was never road registered in Spain and was purely used for riding around their estate which probably explains why the bike has matching numbers and does not appear to have had a hard life.

In reality the bike is rather too nice to use properly off road, so given that I want a bike for green lanes I have decided to sell the Montesa and get something in less good condition.

I have seen Malcolm Rathmell 348s for between £2, 400 and £3, 000. The 348 Trail is pretty much identical with the same first four gears but more usable with the raised fifth and sixth, and is much rare, so I am hoping there's a buyer out there.
