A weird remnant of the Franco era.

I looked at one of those just the other day here in its home country. Would have been fine if it was just like the description I was given of it. But it was a shed, and with no documents.

This looks a good project IF you can get spare parts for it. At least it is running.

Have you ever come across one of these?

Oh yes, at a local car show in 2021. Was somewhat tatty, but it was ridden frequently, which is the best thing for it. Sounded great too.

I'm sure I have a video of it running, just can't find it at the moment.

I presume there to be at least a £90,000 price premium for the "S" over a normal 150 then, give or take... Sod buying anything like that without knowing it for a very long time.

Within my 1980s biking circle, if anyone bought one of those the tank badge would've been altered to read TOSSA within 15 minutes.
