Jonesy (Alan) and I asked Gary Jones what he thought of the Ammex and he reckoned they were a great bike that with more development (time and money) could have been a contender. He reckoned quality control was a concern but it was getting better. When the Peso was floated and subsequently took a dump, Gary reckoned there were some good engineers in Mexico that were capable of producing anything as good as Europe. Floating the Peso buggered any hope of that however.

Nope.

Hint. They didn't last very long in spite of being very successful at almost the highest level in the sport.

Oooh so close. But no cigar.

It's an EMC (Eatough Motor components). Later they amalgamated with Cotton to form Cotton EMX,  changed motors to Rotax and they won the UK MX champs in '79 with Pete Mathia aboard. Later still they and CCM were bought out to form Armstrong.

2 great looking bikes.If you could find one or other I wonder what they'd be worth?I think I saw a Cotton EMX in a photo of a twinshock meet in a recent Classic  Dirtbike  mag and they commented how rare they were.
