Bultaco came into existence relatively late, compared to most motorcycle manufacturers. Francisco Bulto left Montesa in 1958, following disagreements with the company management, and set up motorcycle production under the Bultaco name which was a contraction of his surname and his nickname of 'Paco'. Many were either competition models, or had the option to be so with the addition of tuning and specialist parts. Most models were of 100 to 250cc capacity, but in the early sixties, engines under 100cc started to appear, one of which was the Lobito.

Dating from approximately 1969 With a 75cc engine, this Mk. 3 Lobito presents in classic Motocross trim with swinging arm rear suspension, alloy rims, and drum brakes front and rear. An older restoration, it will require re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown. There are no documents present, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
