Nice race ready bike.
What colour is the tank; Afrika Corp yellow?

Thats the same as the 414 but with  green plates which would make it a VF or VG 250. The yellow plastic tank was standard and only looked slightly better than this aged and 'yellowed' example when new.

It's a VE. Don't know why it's got green plates as I'd say by looking at the forks that it's a big banger!

It's a VE 250.  This model has a shorter cylinder with a different rod.
It has 5 cooling fins, unlike the other engines which have six.

Obviously a real Monty fan - I think it's meant to be a VB Monty ;) :).
