You don't see the smaller Monties in Oz or US too often but I think the 50cc and 125 trials and enduro bikes are relatively common in Europe.

Yup. I think they must have been big in Europe and I think every little Spaniard kid started out on one. I have parts books for Cota 49 and 74 so I think Lyall must have bought one or two of those bikes into the country. These bikes would be a REAL find......

The Cota 49s come up on evil bay quite regularly.

Nah, US & UK. Not too dear either. I have a mate with one hanging in his garage. But that's in Cape Town.

I lived in the U.K in the late 80s early 90s and they had heaps of small 125cc down to 50cc bikes around over there for your Ls its up to a 125cc not like 250cc over here in OZ.jimson
