One of motorcycling's many legends, the foundation of Bultaco was occasioned by the resignation of Francisco Xavier Bulto from Montesa, a company he had co-founded with Pedro Permanyer in 1945. The Montesa board wanted to withdraw from racing; Bulto disagreed and left in 1958, taking most of the racing department with him to set up a new company – Bultaco. By the spring of 1959 the fledgling concern's first machine - the Tralla 101, a 125cc two-stroke - was ready for production. Given the circumstances of Bultaco's birth, it should have surprised no one that the company began racing soon afterwards, successfully entering a team in the roadster class at the 1959 Spanish Grand Prix. Trials and moto-cross models followed in the mid-1960s, the first Pursang scrambler appearing at the start of the 1965 season. Early examples sold in the UK came with Rickman-built frames and four-speed gearboxes, but from 1967 the Pursangs were entirely Spanish-built and had a five-speed transmission.

The Mk 6 Pursang offered here was ridden by Luke Davies in the first Welsh Classic Motocross Championship in 2008. Luke was sponsored by the vendor and finished 2nd overall. Re-Commissioning and safety checks will be needed if the machine is to be used. There are no documents with this Lot.
