The Spanish company OSSA made its competitive debut at the 1952 ISDT in Austria. Fifteen years later, a 250cc-engined OSSA claimed victory at the 1967 Montjuïc 24 hours race. A string of creditable competition results followed. Off-road models had been developing, so OSSA hired the English rider Mick Andrews to design and ride a new trials bike in 1967. He dominated the trials championships on his OSSA ‘Plonker’ in the early '70s, taking the European Trials Championships in 1971 and 1972. OSSA released a machine in his honour, said to be one of the prettiest Trials bikes ever built, the OSSA MAR - the Mick Andrews Replica, which remained in production until the late 1970s. Andrews also won the Scottish Six Days Trial three years running - 1970, 1971 and 1972.
This 1976 OSSA Mick Andrews Replica was purchased as a project by the current vendor. Once he got it home, he set about its restoration in earnest. He stripped and replaced and refurbished where possible and there are some new parts fitted. The opportunity to have the tank signed by Mick Andrews arose and the vendor seized it. Along with a picture of Mick with the tank, there is an accoampnying folder of receipts and a current V5C.
