Ahead of it’s time, we are carried back to 1978 when photo-journalist Mike Rapley snapped this unique monocoque framed 325cc Bultaco at the Welsh Trophy Trial.
The top frame tube carrying fuel it bears a strange resemblance to machines we use today.

Mike Rapley could not recall who built it, who rode it or if it still exists, but we do know someone that would like to own it!

Have a look at the detail shot and judge for yourself!

November 2019 – Thanks to the power of the internet, Phill Smith, the machines creator in 1978 discovered Trials Guru and his machine! Stephen Hopkins also produced a colour photograph which indicated that the machine was further modified and developed.
We aim to bring more information on this special machine shortly.
