Hi,  I have seen for sale locally a Sherpa  listed simply as "Sherpa 350 Classic".  It would be nice to be able to identify the model before going to take a look.

The rear seat tube (or lack of), has confused me a bit.  Here's a couple of photos and thanks for any help, Ian.

 

 

Best regards,

Ian

I`m not sure but the frame looks like it might be a Sammy Miller frame. The engine number will tell you which model engine it is. If it isn`t a Highboy frame then it has been modified a lot. The airbox is a 76 to early 78 one. Models M158/9, M182/3 and a M190/1.

Thanks bullylover, I'll try to do a bit more homework.

 It looks like a very nice bike. I'm sure there's quite a story behind it.

I’ll try to take a look at the weekend but I think the photos do look good. The only frames that I can find without the rear seat tube are the Comerfords ones but I don’t think it’s one of those either?  I don’t know much at all about Bultacos but hopefully I’ll be learning soon. 

That's an interesting frame and a nice looking bike overall. Anyone notice the upside down chain tensioner block, wonder if that's deliberate or not?

Note top triple clamp also.

Triple clamp just noted.

Possibly a MAC frame there are similarities but whatever it looks like a good bike to own.

Just a quick update to say that the bike has been sold before I could get to it, so I guess I won't ever find out the true identity.  Shame, I quite fancied that but I couldn't commit without seeing it.

Thanks for all the input, Ian
