1975 OSSA 350 MAR – MICK ANDREWS REPLICA – FULL FRAME-OFF RESTORATION – STUNNING VINTAGE TRIALS CLASSIC!

RARE SPANISH TWO-STROKE TRIALS LEGEND | 2,200 ORIGINAL SPEEDOMETER MILES | COMPREHENSIVE FRAME-OFF RESTORATION | REBUILT ENGINE | BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED ORIGINAL COMPONENTS | EXCELLENT RUNNING CONDITION

A LEGENDARY PIECE OF MOTORCYCLE HISTORY!

Kaplan Cycles and the New England Motorcycle Museum are proud to present this absolutely stunning 1975 OSSA 350 MAR (Mick Andrews Replica), an exceptionally rare and beautifully restored example of one of the most iconic competition trials motorcycles of the 1970s!

This magnificent 51-year-old Spanish classic represents a golden era in European motorcycle competition, when OSSA and legendary trials champion Mick Andrews were helping revolutionize the sport.

The MAR designation stands for Mick Andrews Replica, a tribute to the legendary British trials rider whose development work with OSSA helped produce one of the most successful and influential trials motorcycles of its generation.

Mick Andrews captured back-to-back European Trials Championships in 1971 and 1972 aboard OSSA machinery, and much of the engineering, handling characteristics, and competition-proven technology developed through that championship program found its way into the production MAR models.

These motorcycles were designed to be lightweight, exceptionally well-balanced, responsive, and capable of navigating difficult terrain with incredible precision.

Today, surviving examples are highly collectible, particularly those that have undergone a comprehensive restoration while retaining their distinctive original components and period-correct appearance.

This is one of those special machines.

Finished in its striking red, white, and green color scheme with beautifully polished aluminum components, classic OSSA emblems, and signature silver frame, this motorcycle is an absolute showstopper.

It is a design that has truly stood the test of time!

COMPREHENSIVE FRAME-OFF RESTORATION

This OSSA has undergone an extensive, comprehensive frame-off restoration, with exceptional attention paid to both the mechanical and cosmetic condition of the motorcycle.

The machine was completely disassembled down to its bare frame, and nearly every major assembly was restored, rebuilt, refurbished, polished, or replaced as necessary.

The result is an outstanding vintage trials motorcycle that looks spectacular and runs excellent!

FRAME, CHASSIS & SUSPENSION

• Complete frame-off restoration

• Frame stripped and refinished in its original factory-style silver color

• Original chassis components meticulously restored

• Front forks completely restored

• Fork lower legs beautifully polished

• Upper fork components cleaned and polished

• Original triple clamps cleaned, detailed, and polished

• Beautiful original chrome fork caps retained

• Original rear shock absorbers restored

• Original side stand restored and refinished

• Original footpegs professionally re-chromed

• Rear brake pedal beautifully restored and refinished

• Original engine skid plate/bash plate retained in remarkably nice condition

One particularly impressive detail is the condition of the original engine bash plate.

Unlike many vintage trials motorcycles that were subjected to years of punishing competition use over rocks, logs, and rough terrain, this machine's original skid plate remains in exceptionally nice condition.

Its preservation suggests that this motorcycle may have enjoyed a considerably easier life than many of its competition-oriented counterparts.

COMPLETE FRONT & REAR WHEEL RESTORATION

Both wheels were completely disassembled and meticulously rebuilt.

Front Wheel:

• Original factory rim beautifully polished to a near-chrome appearance

• Hub completely dismantled and restored

• New wheel bearings installed

• New spokes installed

• Brand-new front tire

• Brand-new inner tube

• Beautifully polished stainless-steel front fender

Rear Wheel:

• Original factory wheel retained and beautifully polished

• Hub completely dismantled, refinished, and restored

• New wheel bearings

• New spokes

• Brand-new rear tire

• Brand-new inner tube

• New rim strip

• Brand-new drive chain

• New chain adjuster

The finished wheels are absolutely spectacular, with mirror-like polished surfaces that complement the motorcycle's classic styling beautifully.

ENGINE REBUILD – FRESH TOP END & RESTORED COMPONENTS

The engine was recently disassembled and mechanically refreshed as part of the restoration.

The cylinder was removed and inspected, with the original standard bore found to be in excellent condition.

Rather than unnecessarily overboring the cylinder, the existing bore was honed and fitted with a brand-new standard-size piston and rings.

Engine restoration and rebuild work includes:

• Brand-new standard-bore piston

• Brand-new piston rings

• Cylinder inspected and honed

• New cylinder base gasket

• New cylinder head gasket

• New spark plug

• Cylinder head restored and refinished

• Cylinder restored and repainted

• Engine cases meticulously cleaned and restored

• Engine side covers beautifully polished

• OSSA lettering carefully refinished

• New carburetor intake boots

• Carburetor completely rebuilt

• New fuel-delivery components

• New clutch friction plates

• New clutch steel plates

• Original kickstarter retained in excellent condition

• Original shift lever retained in excellent condition

• Decompression shutoff system renewed

The engine was recently reassembled, with final engine work completed immediately before the motorcycle was finished.

The motorcycle starts, runs, and performs excellently!

The restoration was performed with an emphasis on retaining the original character and mechanical integrity of this historic two-stroke trials machine.

COMPLETE EXHAUST SYSTEM RESTORATION

The exhaust system has been comprehensively restored from the cylinder head all the way back to the rear silencer.

Work includes:

• Exhaust header pipe restored

• Exhaust-to-cylinder-head connection refurbished

• Complete exhaust pipe cleaned and refinished

• Original-style exhaust components beautifully polished

• Rear silencer restored

• Exhaust system reinstalled and properly secured

The finished exhaust system complements the polished engine cases and restored chassis beautifully.

FUEL TANK, CARBURETION & AIR INTAKE

The fuel system has received extensive attention to ensure proper operation and long-term preservation.

• Original fuel tank restored

• Classic red, white, and green paintwork preserved

• Tank interior treated and sealed with Caswell fuel tank sealer

• New fuel petcock

• New fuel lines

• New inline fuel filter

• Carburetor completely rebuilt

• New carburetor intake boots

• Original airbox restored

• Brand-new air filter installed

The fuel tank is one of the highlights of this motorcycle.

Its iconic red, white, and green finish, combined with the beautiful OSSA emblems and polished aluminum engine, gives this machine an unmistakable 1970s European competition appearance.

HANDLEBARS, CONTROLS & FRONT-END DETAILS

The handlebar and control assemblies have been extensively restored with numerous new components.

• New handlebars

• New handlebar grips

• New control levers

• New lever perches and mounts

• New control cables

• New decompression control lever

• Restored original headlight assembly

• Headlight guard refinished in gold

• Beautiful original chrome fork caps

• Restored and polished front fork assemblies

• Restored triple clamps

An interesting feature of this vintage OSSA is its decompression-style engine shutoff system.

Rather than using a conventional modern electrical kill switch, the rider operates a lever that releases engine compression to shut off the motor.

This unique period-correct feature is part of what makes these classic Spanish two-strokes so fascinating.

ORIGINAL SEAT, FENDERS & LIGHTING

The motorcycle retains its distinctive original-style full-length OSSA seat, which provides considerably more comfort than the tiny saddles commonly found on dedicated competition trials motorcycles.

The seat features the classic OSSA identification molded into its structure, a wonderful example of the manufacturer's attention to detail and pride in its product.

Additional details include:

• Original OSSA seat retained

• Beautiful original-style seat profile

• Original OSSA seat markings

• Front stainless-steel fender polished to a brilliant shine

• Rear fender beautifully restored

• Original rear taillight assembly intact

• Original-style headlight restored

• Gold-finished headlight guard

• Classic OSSA tank emblems

The seat remains in very attractive condition considering its age, with some minor age-related cracking and patina visible near the front.

We elected to preserve this original component rather than replace it, as it contributes to the authentic character of the motorcycle.

ONLY 2,200 MILES SHOWING!

The original-style speedometer displays approximately 2,200 miles.

For a 51-year-old trials motorcycle, the relatively low indicated mileage, combined with the condition of the original components and skid plate, makes this a particularly interesting example.

The mileage is the reading displayed on the speedometer and is not independently verified.

CONDITION & RESTORATION NOTES

This is a beautifully restored vintage motorcycle, but as with any 51-year-old classic, it should not be represented as absolutely flawless.

The original seat shows minor age-related patina and a few small cracks near the front edge.

The striking tank paintwork was completed prior to the most recent mechanical and chassis restoration and continues to present beautifully.

The grips were also replaced around the time of the earlier cosmetic work.

The motorcycle retains numerous original components, many of which have been professionally restored rather than replaced with modern reproductions.

The engine has been recently refreshed, the clutch rebuilt, the fuel system serviced, and the chassis extensively restored.

This is a remarkably attractive, freshly completed restoration of an iconic vintage OSSA, and it runs excellent.

WHY THE OSSA MICK ANDREWS REPLICA IS SO COLLECTIBLE

During the early 1970s, Spanish manufacturers including OSSA, Bultaco, and Montesa were at the forefront of international trials motorcycle development.

OSSA's partnership with Mick Andrews produced championship-winning motorcycles that helped establish the Spanish marque among the world's premier trials manufacturers.

The MAR series combined a lightweight chassis, responsive two-stroke engine, excellent maneuverability, and competition-developed suspension geometry into a remarkably capable package.

Today, these motorcycles are increasingly appreciated by:

• Vintage trials enthusiasts

• European motorcycle collectors

• Classic two-stroke enthusiasts

• Historic competition motorcycle collectors

• Motorcycle museums

• Riders who appreciate authentic 1970s Spanish engineering

Beautifully restored examples are especially desirable because of the time, expense, and specialized knowledge required to restore a vintage Spanish competition motorcycle properly.

Between the engine rebuild, wheel restoration, chrome work, polishing, paintwork, fuel-system restoration, suspension refurbishment, and all the small details, recreating a machine to this level is a substantial undertaking.

This is the type of motorcycle that would be equally at home in a private collection, a motorcycle museum, or on display alongside other legendary European competition machines.

A SPECIAL PIECE OF MOTORCYCLE HISTORY

This OSSA 350 MAR is more than simply another vintage dirt bike.

It represents a remarkable chapter in international motorcycle competition, when lightweight Spanish two-strokes and talented riders like Mick Andrews were redefining what was possible on two wheels.

From the beautifully polished wheels and engine cases to its signature red, white, and green paintwork, this machine is a rolling piece of motorcycle history.

The recent frame-off restoration has preserved the character of the original motorcycle while extensively refreshing its mechanical systems and presentation.

A gorgeous, rare, historically significant vintage trials motorcycle that looks incredible and runs excellent!
