In a bid to emulate the competition successes of rivals Bultaco and Montesa, Ossa hired English trials star Mick Andrews in 1967. Then only 23 but already a proven winner, Andrews set about developing Ossa's existing trail bike into a competitive trials mount, a process that culminated in the MAR - Mick Andrews Replica - that carried its creator to consecutive European Trials Championships in 1971 and '72. The MAR put Ossa on the trials map with a vengeance and proved so successful that it remained in production until the late 1970s. A potentially competitive mount for classic 'twin-shock' trials events, this un-restored Ossa MAR was purchased from the original owner circa 1983 and last ran in March 2019. The machine is offered with an Irish logbook and a Sammy Miller workshop manual. The original kick-starter and a new kick-start boss to fit are included in the sale.
