The particular Sherpa appears to have been well restored at some stage, including a repaint, as indicated by the overpainted frame number; however, no supporting documentation relating to the restoration is on file.
It should be noted that the V5C Registration Certificate records the engine number prefix as 'JB', matching the frame prefix, whereas the engine itself is stamped with a 'JM' prefix. Likewise, the 2018 Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum & Trust dating letter on file (which identifies the machine as a 1974 model) also records the engine prefix as 'JB' rather than 'JM'. The aforementioned V5C states: 'Was first registered and/or used. Declared manufactured 1974.' The date of first registration in the UK is recorded as 1st July 2018, and accompanying 2018 DVLA registration correspondence is included. The machine's early history is unknown.
The Bultaco has been ridden regularly on the private vendor's estate and was last started last summer. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness, history, authenticity, originality and mechanical condition prior to bidding.
