I looked at that one too, Simo, but there seems to be lots not right about it.  :-\
I'm not Montesa expert, but the front end looks wrong and the pipe doesn't seem to be right either?
The XL rear guard seems to work though.....   ;D
Maybe someone with a bit more knowledge might shed some light?

Wrong forks for a start. The 77/78 73m Cappra should have leading axle forks.

Not for me either Tony .. not into the Montys at all.   I just posted to help someone else that might be looking for parts or a project.

A complete bitsa. Looks like an early VR250 engine with straight fins. V75 or Enduro frame that been modified to look a bit like a '77 VB in the upper shock mount but the swingarm is modified VR/V75 or VA unit modified with VB style shock mounts (flex would be an understatement). The pipe looks like a fabricated version of the late H6 250 Enduro up pipe. The forks are really strange as they look like VR/V75 legs but have possibly VA360 long tubes those legs max out at about 7.5" travel.

Ah, so it's even less original than I thought.
Thanks for the info.
