That there is pretty cool! Documented history! Yes indeed, keep it in "as raced" condition. You have the original parts to display along side and if they never see dirt, they won't get broken!

Awesome, I own a 66 campera, and you are correct the tank is from the US mk1 campera. I am in process of converting mine into a mix between 1960-63 sherpa s 175, with the help of a good friend who is also a bultaco expert to get a close as possible/affordable replica. He actually owns one of the early prototype sherpa scramblers. Truly awesome machines, I have always loved bultacos and I'm drooling over your sherpa btw 66 is a MK1 and you have the later five speed engine the 66 or MK1 camperas were 4 speed models so you have a rather trick setup with period parts.🍻 from NC

Just got a model 66..complete..has spark and compression..shouldn't take much to get going

Awesome find!

Haa!..."patina and provenance"...great bit of history!

Very nice, I restore Buls, the first one I got 35 years ago was a 125 Sherpa S which I converted to a 175. I have restored and sold a dozen or so, fixed up and sold many more, also have a collection of HD Sprints. I think you should leave this bike as-is, it's a period piece and they're only original once, restoring makes them too nice to ride.

Bultaco are the best in my opinion.I have a 101 pursang 175 but no exhaust or engine casing so keep looking on
