Aye, a bonnie wee whizzer, no so much a thumper, as a thumpette!  ;)

I'm guessing  that it will be a Mototrans model. But, I could be wrong and it might be an Elite 200cc, built in Italy. It would be interesting to know more, if possible?

Thank you for posting Ian.

Good health, BillR

Hello Bill, I thought it may interest you. Unfortunately we have been back to our friends in Spain a few times but I have never seen it again.

Iansoady......how could you think that? 😂

Aye Ian, the bike could be an ornament, rather than being ridden.

As for IanS being "pretty", well he used to have flowing strawberry blonde locks! Whether he still has them .... ?  ;)

Good health to you both, BillR
