The Unseen Watercooled Prototypes Of ​​merlin And Mecatecno

[gasgas249uk]

Known for aircooled models , in an almost last gasp of breath both Mecatecno and Merlin produced prototype water cooled trials bikes , desperately trying to keep up with the machine evolution .

 

Only brief recollections of the Merlin prototype is recorded anywhere . Practically nothing was written, all was forgotten and the whereabouts of the bikes were completely unknown.

 

Then a friend and avid collector in Spain stumbled across them both in the space of 1 year......and has added them both to his collection. Since then he's researched them both a little more.

 

When i was down there recently i had to visit them for photos and learn their story.

 

Here it is , on my hobby web
