£2950 . 1987 JP 325cc JP stands for Juvantany / Paya. Albert Juvantany and Quico Paya were both factory Ossa Riders in the last 70's and early 80's. Juvantany who was famous for his huge black beard also was minder for a number of top riders as well as manager for the Spanish Trials des Nations team for several years. After their riding careers had come to an end they decided to manufacture their own motorcycle. They started in 1986 and continued production untill 1988 with minor modifications each year. It was in 1988 that they stopped production. They made in total 99 machines and this model that im selling was made in 1988. This exact bike took me over two years to restore and is finished to a high level. It features a 325cc Villa engine as well as distinctive Nagesti 3 spoke magnesium wheels. I do have transparent spacers that fit the rear wheel. This allows the bike to be ridden in UK ACU events.You can be assured that this motorcycle has been finished to a high standard and requires nothing. The new plastic fenders are original JP. I have visited the homes and business of both Juvantany and Paya and they still hold small stock. This is very special small number motorcycle that represents the flair and entrepreneurship that existed in the Catalan motorcycle industry at this time , following the departure of Bultaco and Ossa as well as Montesa to the Japanese. £1495 1987 Beta Tr34 air cooled mono Trials bike.

A very rare 1990 white GasGas Delta 250cc - £1475
This model was produced in very small number from the Fornells factory in Salt. It was originally developed in 1988 and 89 by Josep Paxau in his small Torello workshop. He had helped to pioneer watercooling. Only approximately 75 were produced .It was produced alongside the air cooled models that the public had full confidence in. This at the time was seen by the public as a risk. It is regarded by factory mechanics as being the most expensive to produce Trials bike that they ever produced and is in essence a pre production run of the 1991 model. It was never imported into the Uk as the importer did not have the confidence in the new thing "water cooling". John Short Jnr rode one himself as a trial , but his was the only bike imported . At the the time other than a brefi appearance in T+MX the British public wouldnt have even known about this bike. Being a conservative and reserved gang , im not sure they would have had the balls to buy it anyway , even if it had been imported. Theyd have all wanted to wait a few decades before they could judge its reliability. I exaggerate to make a point. The high material production cost can be seen when the tank is removed. It is a maze of brackets and brass inserted into plastic. It features a rudimentary by original radiator guard. This was the first model to feature the Delta frame which was revolutionary at the time and which carried on for at least a decade at GasGas. This particular example is in superb condition. The plastics along with the decals are all original and superb , which is so rare and the reason why i purchased it. The engine runs beautifully and whistles like the first day it left the factory. You can see a video of it running below. The front and rear suspension is perfect , has no rust and needs no work.

A very rare 1991 Green GasGas Delta 250cc - £1475
Here we have what I call "the Amos bike". Thats what i call it but i must make it clear that this was not his actual machine. Amos was almost invisible on the Beta but he came into his own at the time he started riding for GasGas on this model. In fact he did actually ride a few indoor Spanish trials on the 1990 white Delta , but that was totally missed by the UK press. This model was cleared by Shirty quality control and was imported into the Uk in small numbers. I expect the sales were disappointing for GGUK as there never seemed to be many around and the production of the Air cooled models at this time had stopped. This exact example is superb. The plastics are original, they all match , have no breaks holes or bad scratches of note. I cant recall if the lights work. The engine has strong compression and runs perfectly. I wouldn't have bought it ,if it didnt. The front and rear suspension work well and there is no rust present. The GG and sponsor decals are all present along with the special Paxau trademark stickers on these early bikes. Now that GG are no more here is an opportunity to obtain two beautiful early watercooled models that are real head turners. Test ride available round my garden.
