What survives
The surviving image shows a small wooden motorcycle-style construction model with interlocking flat pieces. The archive used both “Motor Cross” and “Motocross” spellings, and related files also refer to a motorbike jigsaw.
Identification clues
- Wooden construction model rather than a traditional six-piece burr.
- Vehicle silhouette with two large wheels and a central frame.
- Likely assembled from slotted sheet pieces.
- May have been sold under a generic motorcycle or motocross model name by another retailer.
What has not been verified
No surviving original sheet in the supplied website files shows the numbered assembly sequence. Similar wooden motorcycles cannot be assumed to use the same slots, axle pieces or order of construction.
New research lead: Dream Wood motocrosser
A Japanese handmade wooden model currently sold by Dream Wood under the name 疾風のモトクロッサー (“swift/wind-like motocrosser”) is a very close visual match to the surviving Crafty Puzzles photograph. The listed finished size is 36.0 cm wide, 27.5 cm high and 4.5 cm thick.
This is a high-confidence identification lead, not yet a verified solution. No compatible assembly sheet has been located, so the Motor Cross page remains marked “solution wanted”.
Evidence that would solve the case
The strongest contribution would be a photograph or scan of the original instruction sheet. A complete set of well-lit photographs showing every piece, both sides of the pieces and a staged rebuild would also allow a new original guide to be created.
