RARE COLLECTORS TRIALS BIKE MERLIN DG350 IN ORIGINAL CONDITION AND RUNNING

I am offering for sale this very original and rare Merlin DG350  trials bike which has just come out of dry storage in sunny Spain where it was made! This bike is now running! It started after half a dozen kicks with some fresh petrol. he clutch and gears all work but obviously it could do with a good service and a pair of tyres before any serious riding. I am sure many of you trials people may know the history of these bikes but for those who don't Merlin were built by the son of Paco Bulto the founder of Bultaco motorcycles with early production starting around the time Bultaco went pear shaped! Being Spanish these bikes were well built of course and were fitted with the very strong and torquey Cagiva 350cc engines. I believe several champion ships were won with these bikes with numerous well known riders of the time but I am no expert on this but you can google it to find out more!So back to the bike. s stated and as you can see the bike is very original and in good used condition. ith scratchs and marks etc but with no major damage and in my opinion ready to use as is with a bit of a service etc! The engine turns over smoothly with plenty of compression but does need a carb clean to run which I will hopefully get time to do this week. This bike has never been registered and so does not come with documentation but a receipt will be provided no problem. Please note before bidding that this bike is currently at my house in France but I will be back in the UK in around 10 days and so can deliver for free anywhere between Dover and Oxford ( not within the M25) and possibly to other areas if you cover my diesel costs but please ask first before bidding and assume I will deliver to Cumbria!! The bike can also be collected from Oxford once it is in the UK. I would like a ?100 deposit via paypal at the end of auction and the remainder in cash on delivery/collection. I also have another one of these bikes for sale on a classified ad and so I might do a deal on the pair. Please email me with any questions you may have or if you need any other pics. This is a rideable collectors machine which is sure to go up in value in the coming years. ust look at the prices similar bikes are making now such as SWM. ULTACO. SSA. ANTIC. etc. Please note this bike is not currently in the UK and is actually in south west France where it can be viewed by appointment. owever I will be in the UK in around 10 days time and so could possibly deliver free of charge if you live between Dover and Oxford ( not London though!) or at cost if you live elsewhere and I have time to get to you. Alternatively the bike can be collected from Oxford. In any case if you have any questions or need any extra pictures please send me a message through ebay and I will get back to you.
