The Cappra appeared in 1967, replacing the Impala Cross models, and was available in a number of capacities from 125 to 414cc. It was a great success for Montesa, selling well throughout its life, seeing use in club, national, and international competitions, although Montesa was destined never to win a World Motocross Championship.
This example dates from 1980, and appears to be fitted with an engine from a 250 Rapita. It has a two-stroke air-cooled engine, alloy rims, drum brakes front and rear, and twin-shock rear suspension. The petrol tank, mudguards and side panels are lightweight plastic items. 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.
