In a word no!!!!

I have chased a few rumours and leads in Oz but have got nothing worthwhile. I deal with Jared from South West Montesa in the USA. Has been excellent on prices, postage, service, reliability and speed. Pretty good on availability.

I know that 390Ross also deals with someone in Spain. I've found spanish and euro prices expensive and the postage a 'deal killer'.

The '76 'H' looked like this...



but was 5 speed. This one meets your description of tall narrow tank different from the H6 but the 5 speed box. The only 4 speed box of this period that I know of is the 4 speed 360 Cappra

The '78 H6 looked like.....

Here's it's kissing cusin.



Two of the prettiest enduros to turn a wheel in the dirt. I've got the engine and frame that I might be able to build a bitza 360/6 speed approximating one of these, or I could opt for a 250 reed valve/6 speed H6 'look alike'. I can't decide. Both would be interesting 'projects-sometime-in-the future'.

I might put one or the other on to ebay at silly money to see if I can have the decision made for me that way ::). I've been amazed at some of the prices Monties have pulled recently. Silly money would make the decision for me and give me some bankroll to pour into the other  8).

Ya never know ya luck in a big city eh! ;D
