richywrecka Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I'm trying to find out the year of a Montesa Cota 123 i'm lovingly restoring for my son to abuse the hell out of, projects nearly finished but I would like to know the year of it. Engine and frame no's are 32M00045. Any ideas will be appreciated. Cheers. Tried the Montesa web site but no help there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials lad Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 (edited) Wohoo! looks like im not the only one to have a montesa 123.... I thinkThe montesa site is quite good at finding out the year, Did you try the Spanish verson the english version dosent have a section for the years of the model.

vintagecota Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 All the 123s I know of are model 28M. I don't know what a 32M is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richywrecka Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Vintage cota if thats your bike I am well impressed, tried everywhere especially the spanish site but still can't find anywhere that lists 32M on the engine and frame no's. Suppose i'll just keep trying!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
