Title: what's this?

and how much do you reckon it's worth? all the bits are there, it turns over (low compression) selects gears, don't know if it runs.

circa 1976 Bultaco Sherpa T. The engine and frame number prefixes will tell exactly what model my guess is M159 or M158 (325cc or 238cc).
$500

350 is better for hillclimbs and trailriding and 250 is better for trials competition

feetup is right (of course)
check first 3 numbers on frame and engine (should match)
and check on bultaco id web site for model

i had a 350 it was a great bike ;D
