Something more than a little 'sus' about that bike/add. No VIN. Questionable if its genuine VR. Not real good pics. Looks like wrong seat, rear suspension, rear frame loop. Could be converted enduro 'bitza'.

Would it be pre '75 legal with VB forks as described? I doubt it.
Cheers,

MONTESA VB FORKS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PRE75 CLASSES.

The engine is a VR crinckle cut fin model and they started in 1974, forks are wrong, seats is wrong, pipe is wrong but it could have been messed around with, frame looks right, wheels are right, tank is off a 1973 model.

Looks to be an early VR (tank, rear fender mounts on the side, and front solid motor mount)
Later 74 topend.  modified VR seat (yikes!) Pipe looks odd.  Can't tell if it even has an airbox!
1976 VA forks (square sliders, tubes up thru the top clamp)
Looks like a trials pattern rear tire.

Numbers Paul posted indicate early engine & late frame. Perhaps they're wrong way round.  Mudcatcher rims also indicate early rolling chassis. Sure is a bitza.
