The Czech team were triumphant in the 1947 ISDT and this gave a boost to Jawa's sales of off-road machines. Success continued in the ISDT until the 1970s, and Jawa were also successful, to a lesser extent, with their two-strokes in motocross events and enduro competitions.

The vendor believes this Jawa is 400cc capacity, and was a factory team bike, although there is no evidence to this effect. Accordingly, prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the authenticity of this machine prior to bidding. Believed to date from the early nineteen seventies, this bike has drum brakes front and rear, and twin-shock rear suspension. It is an older restoration which has not been used for some time and will require some re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown, and it is sold strictly as viewed.

Footnotes

As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
