"...what would the sale price be. Any idea`s." Rarely come up so very hard to tell.

It's not totally original having been enduro-ised. It will be interesting to watch. I would guess around $3000 but if one or two bidders really want a VG for some reason..........

The engine number (54M) indicate a 250 Enduro not a Cappra (73M) apparently there is no frame number other than the compliance plate. Also the engine is not a reed V/V version which I think the VG should be (my H7 250 is reed V/V) although many photos show no reeed V/V on VG250. Does anyone know for sure?.

It has a compliance plate the same as the one on my H7. But 5 speed indicates an MX bike. The flywheel cover suggests a H6 360 engine or similiar. Spoke to the guy who seems genuine and he bought it off a guy that claims he got it new from Lyall as a VG250 but wanted rego and lights. The parts book with it is a VG250 Cappra.

It looks in great condition and comes with a VG silencer. What it actually is I am not really sure. Could be a VG250 that Lyall cobbled up for rego using an ealier H6 engine number or possibly a genuine VG250 with changed engine number and removed chassis number or many other possibilities. I suspect the reserve is above $3K

I'd imagine Lyall had a compliance plate hanging around and changed the engine number to match (whilst removing the frame No altogether). Naughty man! A mate of mine did this with a YZ 490 K about the same time and it was how you got MXers registered...

The new owner bought it over for a look seeing it was a 4 minute drive from me! It's a pretty decent bike, a good one to have and will go well with the other Montesa's he has.
Cheers,

Who's the Silver Tongue who made the offer that was 'too good to resist'?

Nice bike - and even better pick up. The new owner should be happy with their purchase!

A rare find indeed.
