Founded in 1951, the Spanish firm of Ossa first achieved worldwide recognition when works rider Santiago Herrero came close to winning the 250cc World Championship in 1969. Nevertheless, the off-road market was by far the more important for Ossa, as it was for local rivals Bultaco and Montesa. In a bid to emulate the latter's competition successes, 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. We are advised by the current vendor that this particular MAR had been treated to a 'last nut and bolt' restoration by the previous owner in Kent prior to its purchase by him in July 2019. A potentially competitive mount in 'Twin-Shock' trials, this attractive machine would respond well to careful detailing. There are no documents with this Lot.
