They did exist ive seen photos to prove it although i think they were converted road or trail bikes but then again so were the British bikes werent they ? As far as I can determine the earliest Bultaco models being used in trials here in the UK were converted from trail models, that work was undertaken in the workshops of Lacashire dealer Jack Anelay and one was entered in the 1962 Scottish, there is a photograph of it at the weigh-in and even at that time the modifications (tweaks) definitely show that it was a Sherpa in development. The photograph is in the book 'Lochaber Rich Mixture' which I published and then subsequently serialised in our digital magazine, ORRe. The Anelay connection started when they were actively involved in racing the Bultacos and were the UK distributors for those machines.

charlie prescott Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hi Guy's. Hi Deryk, Don't forget my connection to the Bultaco story. You can read it all on my website. Rickman Bros became distributors in late 1964 guy's. Regards Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
