Virtually unused Montesa Cota 247 trial bike any value?

[BIRMA]

I bought this Montesa Cota 247 brand new way back in the 80's I couldn't get on with it so kept my old Bultaco Sherpa 250 as my main trial bike. Anyway the Montesa was parked up in my friends factory under a cover since then. It now has to be moved so I was wondering if there is a market for a bike that I've only done about two miles on if that. Can't remember the full details but it was one of the first that switched to a mono rear shock, over the years we replaced a few rubbers that perished but on the whole it's pretty clean.

Probably worth ~ 700-1K. Depends on the condition obvs. There is a big twin shock scene, but as yours is the later mono I suspect that will hit the value significantly.

There are three twins on Car and Classic between 1-2k.

Simplest sale would be a flyer on your local trials club, club-house (shed). Ebay may get you a bit more...right time for a winter project.

Stick it on an Ebay Classified at a high price, then reduce it over time.

Ebay auctions can work really well but it relies on two people desperately wanting one, that week.

Thanks for the replies.
