Bultaco introduced their first motocross machine in 1960 in the form of the Sherpa S, a 125cc single cylinder two stroke. In the same year they also asked the Rickman brothers to ride in the Motocross of Barcelona, Don mounted on a 175cc version of the Sherpa S forging a relationship that would be of great importance to both firms and would result in the Bultaco powered Petite Metisse scrambler introduced in 1964. This machine, when marketed in Spain was known as the Pursang Mk 1 and was quickly followed by a wholly Spanish designed and produced version dubbed the Pursang Mk 2 introduced during 1967. Development continued with the Mk 3 of 1968 and Mk4 of 1969, each moving a step further away from the Metisse and developing an identity of their own which culminated in the Mk 5 of 1971. The new model featured plastic mudguards and a revised fuel tank establishing the general outline for the next version, the Mk 6 which benefitted from a larger fuel tank.
This example has been housed in a private collection and is presented in good overall condition finished in the distinctive red and yellow livery that characterised this model.
