Thanks Jared. I have a bike with one of each! The copy of the VR brochure I have shows a bike with mudcatchers. Go figure.
Cheers,

those montesa bike images are very good, they missing a model which is the 1967 cappra gp. gum metal gray model with the orange frame. and the la cross was a 1966 model. came to australia which was yellow and the red tank model. You can notice the mudcatchers on the vr 73 model. (well well )

Yes, That is better, my 67 cappra is in QLD, would like to buy it back. That bike was built from NOS parts, by Lyall O`Brien for Gary O`Brien his son when he was racing the Vintage Meeting, in the 90`s Their is a 67 cappra frame,tank, rear wheel on ebay, for $500, all you would need is a 4speed engine, ceriarni forks, the orginal Guards, front wheel.

cheers
