This is a neat look at the Greeves factory and scrambling in the UK in the 1960s.






There was a Greeves Challenger that went for £4500 a few months ago https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1966-greeves-challenger-24-mx3

4500 pounds is 6100 US. I have about 6500 in my restored 1961 Greeves MCS 250.

Umm, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the editors of this very G-rated film missed the "content" on the wall of Dave Smith's garage. Or maybe this was really a early 60's version of soft porn with scrambles as the smoke screen?

No not my Cappra. I rode one once and it was a really light and well handling bike. Tranny was pretty flaky though.
