Montesa saw the opening in the market for trail bikes in addition to other off-road trials and motocross models. Accordingly, they released their first trail bike, the Enduro 175 in 1965, together with the Texas 175 and Scorpion in 1966. Later the Texas was enlarged to 250cc and was replaced by the King Scorpion. The Enduro series of machines began in the 1970s and was available in various engine capacities from 75 to 360cc.
This machine is an older restoration and dates from approximately 1970 and has a two-stroke air-cooled engine. Fitted with lights, it has alloy rims, drum brakes front and rear, and twin-shock rear suspension. The petrol tank is fibreglass, front mudguard and side panels are steel items. There are no documents, and it will require some re-commissioning prior to use. Whilst the engine turns, its mechanical condition is unknown, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
