Montesa was founded in the mid-1940s in Barcelona by Pedro Permanyer and Francisco Bulto. The latter would leave the company in 1958 to found Bultaco, but before then his engineering genius had bequeathed Montesa a range of popular two-stroke roadsters. The company entered road racing in the early 1950s with a successful 125cc single, but its major impact on motorcycle sport would be away from the tarmac, the Scorpion and Cappra moto-crossers and the Cota trials being the equal of any of their contemporaries. Acquired for the Museum’s collection in 2002, this 250 King Scorpion enduro model previously belonged to Walter Wolf, the many-times Austrian trials champion and successful ISDT competitor. A must for any serious collector of off-road competition motorcycles, this original and unrestored machine is offered with Austrian Einzelgenehmigung.
