The Cappra model was an intrinsic part of the development of the worldwide motocross market, forming a link between the older, previously dominant, European marques such as CZ and Husqvarna, and the emerging Japanese newcomers to the market who would eventually become the overriding presence. They were commercially successful, but as sales decreased, Honda took a large stake in the Montesa company in 1981. The final Cappras appeared in 1982, and production was restricted to only the Cota trials models.
This Cappra appears to be new and unused. The engine is a two-stroke air-cooled unit. The wheels are fitted with alloy rims, it has drum brakes front and rear, and twin-shock rear suspension. The petrol tank is fibreglass, as are the mudguards and side panels. There are no documents, and it will require some re-commissioning prior to use. Whilst the engine turns, its mechanical condition is unknown, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
