1964 – Rickman Bultaco Métisse 250cc, Frame No. B-11.00254 Engine No. M-1100254

No registration certificate; no roadworthiness test Bultaco maintained contact with the famous Rickman brothers, British motocross specialists, who contributed to the development of the first Pursang, better known as the Metisse, which was also manufactured in Great Britain. This was the first motorbike designed by Bultaco exclusively for motocross, which earned the manufacturer an excellent reputation in this discipline. This success, combined with the Sherpa T’s performance in trial riding, made the Spanish manufacturer a key player in off-road disciplines. All Pursang Mk 1 models were manufactured and sold in pale yellow, although in Britain some were produced in red and a small number in green. The choice of the Bultaco 250 cm³ two-stroke engine was no accident. By 1964, Francisco Bultó’s fledgling Barcelona-based brand was already producing engines renowned for their lightness and responsiveness – qualities that naturally complemented the ambitions of the Rickman chassis. The combination of the two resulted in a machine of rare coherence, where every component seems to have been designed with the other in mind. A 1964 model represents one of the very first expressions of this collaboration – a doubly historic piece that bears the signature of two now legendary manufacturers. It is an absolute rarity, with a heritage value that will only increase with the passing years. A magnificent motorbike in sound mechanical condition and very well maintained; no work is required. Enhanced by remarkably refined aesthetics, it is as much a pleasure to admire as it is to ride.
