1980 Montesa 413cc Cappra 414VF
Registration no. not UK registered
Frame no. 66M2388
Engine no. 66M2388

After the departure of Francisco Bulto, Montesa correctly identified the importance of the market for off-road motorcycles, and began to make machines to feed that demand. Their first motocross machine was the Impala Cross in 175 and 250 capacities, which appeared in 1963. The Impala was replaced by the Cappra in 1967, the first in the line of this long-running model which ran through several capacities and many changes over time.

This example of the 414VF dates from 1980, and appears to be very little used. It has alloy rims, drum brakes front and rear, and twin-shock rear suspension. It is fitted with a fibreglass petrol tank, and lightweight plastic mudguards and side panels. There are no documents, and it will require re-commissioning prior to use. Whilst the engine turns, its mechanical condition is unknown, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
