A V.N. 'Prototype' Technical Camera, quarter-plate, serial no. D113, black leather body covering & bellows, body, E, in original fitted case History: At the end of WWII, Peeling & Van Neck had a further model of press camera at the development stage; this time based on a drop-baseboard design, and with a built-in rangefinder and interchangeable lenses. This was in production from around 1958 (9x12cm size), and incorporated both a FP shutter and a leaf shutter on the lens. They also produced a prototype model with only the front shutter but never reached the production stage' (British Camera Makers, Norman Channing & Mike Dunn, 1995). Provenance: Jim Barron Collection 2002 - Christie's sold three VN Technical Cameras, two with red leather & one in black, in The British Camera 1840-1960 - Jim Barron Collection sale in December 2002. The serial numbers of two cameras were D108 & D113 (the 3rd number is not recorded), and this camera is serial number D113, which indicates very low production. This camera and the three sold at Christie's are the only VN Technical cameras of this type known.

The first plate in vol.1 has a pencil note to verso, "An extremely curious portrait, evidently done for this book's first number and changed for the one by Cruikshank which is much better". On recto at the foot of the image George Cruikshank has written in ink, "Not by any of the Cruikshank family" and on the following Cruikshank plate, "IR. not GC.". Cohn notes, "The plate to Part 1, "Mrs.Davenport", is found in two states...in fact the plate seems to have been re-engraved". In that he is evidently correct but he assumes that our first version is the second state rather than the first. Cohn also states that 20 of the plates are by George, in this he is also mistaken as George has annotated January 1817, February & November 1818 as being not by him and April 1818 by both him and Robert. Library Hub records only 3 printed versions: BL, Queen Mary University of London, University of Warwick.

Registration No: PXS 989 Frame No: 16728 Engine No: T1POB 16899 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptPLEASE NOTE: The reserve has been reduced.Extremely originalCorrect numbersV5C for UK roadsThe Lambretta Model B was first introduced in the November 1948 and represented numerous and substantial improvements over the preceding Model A. The wheels were increased to 8 inch as opposed to the previous 7 inch, a larger fuel tank, more efficient suspension and the adoption of a Teleflex hand gear change instead of the previous foot change system. Around 37,000 were produced in total in the 15 months the B was in production.This 1949 example was first registered in Milan the home city of the Lambretta and is supplied with its original Italian Milano ‘Targa’ number plate. Now UK registered to use on the roads here. It is roughly mid production and has the glass rear light lens (later models had plastic) and the bakelite Model A type light switch on the headlight. It is extremely original and on examination of the photographs one will see this. According to the vendor the fuel tank was cleaned internally, the carburettor was electrostatically cleaned and the scooter was fired with new tyres and fuel tap. The original flywheel was re-magnetised and the whole system is standard and still on original 6v electrics. The coil was replaced with a NOS original. The sooner had not been started for some considerable time but we were able to see it briefly running at the time of consignment. It will probably need another fuel service after not being used for some time. The seats are in good usable condition the rear one being an aftermarket accessory seat. The scooter also comes with an original user manual in Italian (not a copy) which is a valuable document in itself.

Registration No: 515 XVU Frame No: 309683 Engine No: 651402 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptExtremely original and standardIn fully working order ATCValuable accessoriesV5C for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta Li Series 1 was properly launched in April 1958. Some 7 months after the TV175 series 1 was launched. By then Innocenti had eliminated most of the engine problems that the 175 had. The Li 125 was a dramatic departure from the shaft driven LD range that had preceded it. The new enclosed chain driven engine was centrally positioned under the frame and had more power than the LD. With larger 10 inch wheels and beautifully designed panel work it was a superb scooter to ride and was instant hit. The Lambretta Li125 series 2 was launched in October 1959. Based on the successful series 1 with the obvious difference was the position of the headlight on the handlebars for better lighting when cornering. It had an engine based on the Li125 series 1 but with an increased stroke and several other small modifications all over the scooter that made it the best-selling Lambretta of all time.This very original machine was sourced according to our vendor via Rimini Lambretta Centre and was subject to a service there before being imported around 2020 into the UK. Originally licensed in Ancona, Italy the scooter is supplied with its original ‘Targa’ Italian number plate in addition to the UK license plate. During the service the scooter had a new rear shock fitted and new tyres. We are informed that even the piston is the original although it has had new rings fitted which are still not yet run in. The electrics are still on 6v points and all over the scooter one can see originality including the lights, carburettor and engine. The original paint shows no obvious signs of any touch ups and has a pleasant all over patina with a good condition front mudguard. The scooter has some valuable accessories including a Cavalli Falbo ‘pig nose’ horn cast embellisher, Cavalli fork covers and a top of the range Rimini leopard Pegasus seat. Other accessories are original hand and lever grips. The scooter comes with the steering lock key and is fitted with an aftermarket Li125 speedometer. We are informed by the vendor that the sooner rides really well and we were able to see the scooter running very well with no issues at the time of consignment. The original light switch has been damaged in storage and supplied is a genuine NOS replacement switch will be supplied with the lot. This scooter is ready to ride and enjoy on the road.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 22/2/258767 Engine No: SX200/258901 CC: 198 MOT: ExemptOriginal all over including paintMany important original parts unique to the ‘Electronic’ present Rare Electronic version of the design icon by Nuccio Bertone acclaimed for his designs for Ferrari and LamborghiniCorrect numbers very closeNOVA for UK registration The DL200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters that rolled off of Innocenti’s production line in Milan. Produced from January 1969 until April 1971 it is said a total of only 9350 DL/GP200s were made and less than 1000 were electronic versions. The DL200 followed the SX200 and retained the engine prefix of SX200 before the serial number. The iconic bodywork followed the trends of the day of the early 1970s. The Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors with a new 22/2 frame and rectangular headlight. There were however significant improvements to the engine over the SX including: improved crankshaft, a complete overhaul of the gearbox ratios and improved Ducati ignition. The electronic version went even further with a 6v electronic ignition and CDI unit and these today are extremely collectible. The only immediately noticeable difference between the DL and GP Electronics was the battery being absent from the DL version, and different front panel badge.This 1971 manufactured DL200 Electronic is in a challenging condition and will prove to be a project for only the most proficient Lambretta enthusiast. We can only guess what has happened to this poor machine as the frame is generally solid but looks like the scooter has misbehaved and has been attacked by a hammer. However, having said that it is in its original state and so many original and almost impossible to find parts are there and this can be clearly seen by examination of the photographs. Starting with the electrics she has 6v red original CDI 323901 with black wire and presumably the original electronic stator plate. The ignition switch is the original with key number 162 visible. The light switch is the original. The seat frame is the original Guiliari. The cables appear to have never been removed are all fastened with the correct straps and have the correct grease nipple points. The original KM speedometer is present and stopped at 10222 kms. The brake adjusters are the original late short versions found only on late GP/DLs. The plastic parts are also original black including the petrol flap. The correct ball-end levers, shark teeth and cast badges front and back are all present. The engine appears to be complete and original with correct kick start but the casing has significant damage. The carburettor and exhaust are missing but these are not hard parts to obtain. The side panels are missing but also standard DL/GP panels are identical. The front hub and disc brake all appear to be complete.This is a very rare opportunity for the most serious restorer or conservator of Lambrettas if you are up to the challenge.

Registration No: PKE 335F Frame No: 125LIS 877264 Engine No: 125LIS 877392 CC: 200 MOT: ExemptFull creation in 2007 at Rimini Lambretta CentreMany original Ancillotti period partsImpressive attention to detailUnique tribute scooter signed by the Ancillotto brothers in personV5C stating 125cc for use on UK roadsRimini Lambretta Centre was formed in Italy in 1994 by British scooter enthusiast Dean Orton and Italian Lambretta genius Paolo Catani in 1995 then known as Adriatica Lambretta opened its first shop in a small seaside town just north of the city of Rimini. Quickly obtaining a reputation as a centre of excellence for quality Lambretta restorations the company moved into tuning, spare parts, and accessories for all models of Lambretta. With a professional team trained to apply fastidious attention to detail RLC has set the global bar for quality in the marque and is still an ever growing success today.The Ancillotti Tribute Racer came to be as an idea by Paolo Catani partly it is said because RLC had collected many scarce Ancillotti parts to hand. The Ancillotti story is a fascinating tale of racing passion actually going back to 1938 when Gualtiero Ancillotti opened a workshop in Florence modifying and racing Harley Davidsons. His two sons Alberto and Piero who in their early years had been racing go karts supported by their engineer father joined the business around 1962. After experimenting with motorcycles and Rumi scooters amongst others the Ancillotti brothers specialised as far as scooters went with Lambretta performance customisation from 1962 and did not deviate to Vespas as their great rival Giancarlo Gori had done when Innocenti folded. They were still working on racing motorcycles alongside and won over 20 national and international racing events. They had many trademark signatures including specialised engines, racing seats and exhausts that many know their name from today. Kits were sold internationally including via Nannucci in the UK. At their height 1978-79 they were selling around 3000 specialised machines a year and had 45 people working for them but around 1986 closed down due to Japanese competition. It was folklore that the Ancillotti brothers were not known for throwing money around and their own motorcycle club had added a dollar sign to the Florence clubs logo in tribute to their most famous members.The dollar sign is the first notable signature of this most splendid of machines. Completely Ancillotti style in the yellow colour that they used it is foremost the engine specification that needs to be mentioned plus the unique huge Jaeger rev counter another trademark Ancillotti feature and all on an original Florence Lambretta Special scooter - the birthplace of Ancillotti. The engine has full original Ancillotti 200cc kit: Dyke ring piston, barrel, 4 bolt fixing manifold and large bore exhaust. The seat is an original Ancillotti hand-made aluminium seat with pull-out cushion for fuel and it is this we are told that Giuliari used as the inspiration for their own reproduction version of the seat. A truly very rare accessory! When the scooter was completed it was signed by the Ancillotti brothers themselves one on each side panel with their definite signature of approval. The scooter was sold to a British collector Paul Cromwell who had seen it being created in 2007 and made sure it was going to be his. Our vendor, a perfectionist, bought it from Paul and commissioned British Lambretta performance guru Ron Moss to go over the motor. Ron was able to find out that one of the gudgeon pins had moved out of position and the piston had been scored. He was also able track down 2 exact Dyke ring original pistons by an incredible stroke of luck (the spare one is supplied with the lot) and he also sourced a period VHB 30mm carburettor. The result is we are told a smooth powerful reliable road scooter comparable to a GP200 in performance but with a pedigree of originality with so many original and rare performance parts within.The fastidious attention to detail typically any Rimini built scooter is there for all to see all over this scooter. Anyone who has had a chance to see a Rimini scooter or has been to their fabulous workshop will know that they only use the finest original parts. Of note on this machine to retain the originality it is still on original 6v points and the ignition is of course original number 646 with the original key as all of the locks are original with original Grabor, OMR and GAMA keys. The speedometer is an original SX200 version. On close inspection they cables are all correctly done as original spec with all grease points restored correctly and cables tied with correct fixings. Every nut and bolt is original either NOS or refurbished. The scooter is also supplied with the original Spartan tyres that were favoured by Ancillotti. The scooter is also supplied with its original Firenze (Florence) Italian registration document and even its original Italian FI prefix number plate and is also registered as a 125 in the UK on the V5C. Full details of the project and the restoration are still available to view on the Rimini Lambretta Centre website and can also be found in Scootering magazine September 2008, a copy of which is also supplied with the scooter.A Rimini special project restoration of this magnitude today would cost far in excess of the auction estimate. In addition there are the rare original Ancillotti parts that must make this a true one off. Perfectly set up by no other than the legendary Ron Moss this Rimini scooter is a unique opportunity.

Registration No: KCG 54E Frame No: SX200 835062 Engine No: SX200 835330 CC: 198 MOT: ExemptBritish registered from new with full historyOriginal green log book confirming provenanceCorrect numbers only 268 apartV5C for use on UK roadsMany regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. The SX range retained most styling features of the TV 175/200 Series III that preceded it. The bodywork, however, was more angular and streamlined than that of the preceding LI models. Like the TV Series III, the headset housed a keyed ignition/light switch in the space where the standard LI had a simple kill switch. The SX200 had improved performance and gearing over the previous TV200 models. The SX is the quintessential Lambretta, they are extremely prized by collectors and the SX200 with its own uniquely styled panels and powerful motor is the absolute top of the scooter tree.This mid-production example was first registered in Great Britain by motorcycle dealers Williamson and Peacey of Winchester on 26th June 1967 and sold to David Rogers on the 18th June 1968. It has been left in the will of David Rogers the sole owner of the scooter to our vendor's wife. She has allowed a picture of David riding it back in the day with her mother to be included in the history file and this is included the sale. As we understand it David restored it around 2010 with the help of a motorcycle club after many years of wishing to do so. At this time he also applied for the original number to be restored to the scooter successfully. We note that the scooter has many original parts and the original speedometer shows a credible 7,373 miles. This can be deduced particularly because the panels are in extremely good condition and most notably the original Giuliari seat still has its original red cover in strikingly superb condition with no rips or tears. The engine casing and gear levers also looked like they had had light use. There are a great deal of other original parts used including the original ignition switch number 117, toolbox lock and key and steering lock are all original. The engine is completely standard as a 200cc with the original SH1/20 carburettor and original long reach kick start. The scooter is well presented with attractive red side panels which are also original. The number plate has period-style vinyl numbers. This SX200 has been converted to 12v electrics but the original 6v flywheel and stator plate are included in the sale along with a large amount of spare parts and manuals (photographs to follow). Our consultant was able to start the scooter easily and also rode it on the road. It sounded and handled very well and all worked as it should at the time of consignment.

Registration No: 398 XVX Frame No: VT74259 Engine No: V56 74183 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptRestored exampleVery presentableFull working condition ATCV5C present for use on UK roadsMotovespa from Ciudad, near Madrid had been manufacturing Vespas under license since 1956 broadly manufacturing models in line with the Italian ranges. Many of the parts were supplied from Italy (Piaggio) and France (ACMA) from the beginning and then later models had many Italian Piaggio supplied parts and this dId not alter until the last MotoVespas were produced. The 125 N was the first fully Spanish built wide frame Vespa after the grey Faro Basso type. It retained the crimped beading on the frame sides., which is a desirable effect. Often referred to as the Spanish ‘Struzzo’ (Italian for Ostrich) it resembled the Italian VL range. It had many features the same as the Struzzo including cabled handlebars, 3 gears, 8 inch wheels and Femsa ignition.Here we present a very attractive example that has been the subject of a very long restoration because of the owner's insistence on sourcing original parts which he tells us took patience. He bought it 8 years ago and has decided to sell to make room for a new project. We are informed by the vendor that the attractive light green period style colour was an original paint colour for the model in Spain but we cannot verify this, however, it really is a typical 50s colour and very nice too in our opinion. Original parts that we could see were the Veglia speedometer (Douglas), lights, hubs and rims, engine cowls and we are informed all of the panels are the originals restored. We are also informed that the engine is completely standard with original barrel and gearbox. The top of the petrol tank is original however the lower part is a SIP replacement as is the carburettor. The electrics have been converted to 12v with a quality Pinasco ignition system. The original Spanish number plate is also supplied and one can see the original owner's plate beneath the seat on the carb door.We were able to start the scooter easily at the time of consignment and our consultant also took it for a little spin and all seemed to work as it should.

He visited a number of Middle Eastern countries in his lifetime including Egypt in the late 1970's when his interest in Islamic and Asian antiques began. He was a man with an eye for quality and a love of antiques, history and travel who purchased privately and at auction over the decades. Over a lifetime of purchasing privately and at auction, he created an eclectic ensemble of collections reflecting his interests.

decorated over all in high relief with scenes from the history of Rome surrounding a central boss decorated with the head of Medusa, diamond shaped Elkington tab verso, 77cm diameter. Plating lacking. The original 1552 shield is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, accession number 3660-1855.Thank you very much for your enquiry. We think that this was probably plated in white metal or silver originally and that it has now been taken back to the copper base. The shield does not quite sit flat as there is some minor distortion in places. There is a split at circa 2 o'clock which runs from the edge, through the laurel wreath border and in to the inner border. This split appears to have been soldered to the reverse. The ring hanging attachment has also been soldered on and possibly also the Elkington lozenge name plate verso. There are some minor dents and scratches but it generally looks good. If you need any more information or photographs, please let us know.
