Wow, what a great find. Its a great pre'70 bike - looks great, looks very original and complete.

I think this a 'rare as' and highly desirable collectible Monty - I'm sure Jared will be along soon to confirm.

Whatcha gonna do with it? Race it? Resto? Keep as is?

These Pixies are from an Italian collector's collection 8) :)

Hi hitatreeonce, Very cool looking Monty. Did you get the 67 motor off David#46?

Regards Stan

No I meant the 66 4 speed engine that David was wanting to know what to do with a couple of days ago?
Would have been a good spare for your new mount.

I don't know it's race pedigree or reputation but it will great to see another pre 70 racer, and a Monty at that 8) :).

I can remember Gary O'Brien absolutely whipping the pre 70 class on one of these Cappras or an earlier Monty LaCross at a vintage meeting at Barrabool in the early 90's.  I wrote a piece on Cody Tellis's LaCross in VMX #33 that gives a bit of background on the model.
