The vendor advises us that he believes this trials machine to be a Derbi factory prototype, built by the well-known development engineer 'Paco' Tombas (Francesc Tombas I Bonet). An advocate for the use of Titanium and other lightweight materials, Tombas was the brains behind the Derbi Grand Prix effort. There is no documentary evidence to support the vendor's belief, and accordingly, prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the authenticity of this machine prior to bidding.
Dating from approximately 1973, this bike is an older restoration and has a two-stroke air-cooled engine. It has alloy rims, drum brakes front and rear, and twin-shock rear suspension. The petrol tank/seat unit is fibreglass, whilst the mudguards are lightweight plastic 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.
