Can folks give some input on the value of a 1973 montesa cota 247 trials bike? Looking at parting with my father's bike which is not currenlty running and we need a ballpark idea of what to list it for. Thank you in advance.

$AU500 to $AU3000 depending on condition and location

A decent one in ready to ride state would get £1500-1800 in UK (my guess).

So maybe £700-1000 for a non-runner if complete.

Just my guess. They aren't that popular in twinshock trials.
