laird387 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Woody I think most / all Cota 247 history charts (including Don Morley and all internet) now seen are basically wrong in parts. I don't think even most / all modern Spanish commentators now know the exact Montesa model sequence. I have peiced some information together because I have a collection of MCNs and MCs from the late sixties / early seventies and have been able to follow the model evolution through the contemporary photographs and dealer adverts. Also I was a Montesa operator at the time and now own one of the early 247s (Mk2) It would be nice if someone could come up with a definitive sequence / list but I don't think I have seen it yet - far from it. All the above -- subject to my opinion of course. Regards Sparks Hi Sparks, An old mate of mine, John Hulme, has a wonderful collection of sales catalogues of most of the Spanish models and published a book about the Spanish bikes - have you seen that - would that help?

laird387 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Hi, Yes it's Malcolm Rathmell on his Montesa, photographed by Barry Robinson. Could he be riding in the 1979 White Rose trial? (perce agrees with me, it is the White Rose, the first section when the Start was at Ribblehead. New member basecampkid says it was in the 1980 White Rose. Thanks for both your helps!) Enjoy. Edited June 3, 2014 by laird387 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Thanks cleanorbust, I agree with you, John Hemingway and obviously one of the 'smaller' motors, in '73/4) Edited April 12, 2014 by laird387 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laird387 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hi, Malcolm Rathmell asked Barry Robinson to take a few 'press release' photographs of his newly arrived works bike, so warmed it up behind his house before trying for some action shots. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleanorbust Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Post no 80: not 1982 (I think he would have been on a white tank Montesa by then). Suggest 1979, in view of the Mototechnica riding gear. Post no 81: John Hemingway, on a Cota 123 or 172,circa 1973/4 Post no 85: Rob Edwards, (note tank sticker advertising his shop) around 1979.

steve fracy Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 P1030311.JPGHave just found a suitable picture, it is of yours truly on my Montesa Mk V taken at a Devonport trial on October 31, 1971. Yes, but is that Paul, or George spectating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
