OK, blue it is then.
Do you know why blue, when all of the other Cota's imported into Oz were red.

Not sure if you are still waiting for photos David? I thought the "t" meant that it was the Tr "A" il version and not Tr "i" al?
Here is another GREEN :montesa :

Yes and I greatly enjoyed the film too.
I remember recognising it and thinking it was a wise choice of bike for the stunt work.
Trouble with your "green :montesa" theme is that once the Montesa stickers are gone, the "emperor's new clothes" effect kicks in and reveals that it really is just a :Honda:

FYI those Montesa 349's in the photos are actually 348's!

How can you tell the difference, both the last 348 and first 349 look very similar, I always thought the integral alloy bash plate was an indicator of a 349 ?

Probably why they changed to white tank + red frame on the next model :montesa 349 - so people would notice.
While the similarities in appearance can trick some people, the last :montesa 348 and the first :montesa 349 are chalk and cheese to ride.

But David, don't hold us in suspense, what is different between the 348 and first 349's ?
