This is the montesa  67 cappra 250 gp that l bought off Gary O` Brien and raced it for about 18 months, Gary raced it for a short time, it was built out of new parts that lyall had. I know where the bike is and its not being used, But as l read this thread  the owner John  may have moved in on, but l would delt that it would be in the same condition. This photo shows the condition of the bike, it was brilliant. I do know of a La cross sitting in a shed, not sure if that one is finished.

John  should have the original moulds for the mud guards for that bike, why, l had them specially made. by a fibreglass company. and the expansion chamber is not round it is oval. please take notice of that. that monty has the tyres that l put on it before the meeting at Mortlake back in 1993.
