1962 – Bultaco Metralla 62 Special, Unidentified frame no. Engine no. M-804206

No registration certificate; no roadworthiness test The Bultaco Metralla 62 is an iconic model from the Catalan brand Bultaco, founded in 1958 by Xavier Bulto after he left Montesa following disagreements over strategy. The context at the time was challenging, with the arrival of the SEAT 600 making cars accessible to the middle classes. The right balance was struck in 1959 with the Bultaco Tralla 101, an agile and versatile two-stroke model that was both high-performing and commercially viable. The Metralla 62 builds on this vision, representing a key milestone in the brand’s consolidation. It was the logical next step following the success of the Tralla 101. In 1962, the Metralla 62 was launched with a 196 cm³ single-cylinder engine producing 10 ch at 7,000 rpm, weighing just 97 kg and reaching a top speed of 130 km/h. Its deliberately simple mechanics quickly earned it an excellent reputation, particularly on the British racing market – which was crucial to Bultaco’s profitability, as motorbike racing received virtually no media coverage in Spain at the time. It was the precursor to one of the brand’s road-going successes, the Bultaco Metralla MK2. This particular example features an unconventional set-up: a large-capacity fuel tank, a single-seat racing seat and no headlight. This type of ‘track/sport’ modification is fairly typical for a machine of this kind.
