Pristine SWM 350TL Jumbo Twinshock Trials

Very rare early eighties SWM 350 TL JUMBO Twinshock Trials (Rotax Austria Motor).
Pristine - Virtually no use since new - Original & unrestored.
This machine would be a pride of place addition to any twin shock collection.
From the era of the World Championship Trials 1984 !
Thought to be the only example in existence in this condition (note the original unscathed bash plate and engine cases !)
Search the web you will not find another.
A little history of the marque:
SWM was founded in 1971 by Piero Sironi and Fausto Vergani and was based in Milan. Italy.
SWM started making Rotax TL125 and TL320 trials bikes in 1977. Rotax built a special trials version of their rotary valve motor. with development input from Sammy Miller and Charles Coutard. Acerbis made the plastic mouldings. and suspension was by Marzocchi. These first trials machines were red and white
In 1979 yellow and black models appeared. and in 1980 these were fitted with Girling Gas shocks and Betor forks.
Gilles Burgat won the 1981 Trials World Championship on an SWM.
In 1982 the trials models were produced with a blue frame. acknowledging Pernod's trials sponsorship.
In 1983 the TL350 Jumbo was introduced with a new chassis featuring a box section alloy swing arm.
The 350 TL had a new reed valve motor and frame still wearing similar yellow and blue colours.
Later 125. 240 & 320 disc valve models were put in the new chassis then SWM went in liquidation and in 1984 and production ceased.

This example comes from the last shipment exported from Milan to the USA in 1983 - classified as a 1984 year model. 38mm Betor forks. Blue seat and softened motor (no reed). Note that lights and chain guards were not fitted to the last batch destined for the USA.
This unique example was discovered in Southern California preserved stored as a display piece!
