Bultaco celebrated yesterday the 50 aniversary of their five long-distance records (12 and 24 Hours for classes 175cc and 250cc, and 24 Hours for class350 cc.),obtained at the Montlhéry autodrome back in 1960, with a emotive shake down of the very same faired 175cc 2-stroke monocil. specimen, at the recently recovered autodrome of Terramar, near Sitges.
Among the people reunited in the vintage oval track were Albert Nomen, Research Mgr of Bultaco at the time, and R. Quintanilla, one of record riders.

When I worked for Lucky Strike in 97 we had Motul Sponsership and somehow that intertwined with Bultaco? And somewhere Sete Gibenaru was in the family loop.
