Montesa was founded in the mid-1940s in Barcelona by Pedro Permanyer and Francisco Bulto. The latter would leave in 1958 to found Bultaco, but before then his engineering genius had bequeathed Montesa a range of popular two-stroke roadsters. The company entered road racing in the early 1950s with a successful 125cc single, but its major impact on motorcycle sport would be away from the tarmac, the Scorpion and Capra moto-crossers and the Cota trials being the equal of any of their contemporaries. In the UK, six-time British trials champion Malcolm Rathmell, previously contracted to Bultaco, did much to promote Montesa after he joined as development rider in 1974, winning the Scott Trial for the Spanish factory in 1975 and 1976. This Cota has covered only 59 miles since restoration and was in its present condition when purchased. The machine is offered with its original Italian registration document and other paperwork.
