1967 Lambretta SX 200, 200 cc. Registration number MAT 804F (see text). Frame number 200 * 843602. Engine number TBC. Manufactured by the Italian industrial giant Innocenti, the Lambretta, together with the rival Piaggio-built Vespa, mobilized an entire generation of Italians in the immediate postwar years. The scooter gained instant acceptance everywhere, its cleanliness and convenience appealing to those who regarded the motorcycle with suspicion. Scooters would eventually surpass their strictly utilitarian origins to become an integral part of youth culture in the 1960s, favourite transport of London's fashion-conscious Mods. The scooter's enclosed engine and decent weather protection meant that its rider could arrive at a club, doff his parka and look like he'd just stepped out of a taxi, which was a definite advantage within a culture that placed a premium on smartness of appearance.Introduced in 1947, the first 'naked' Lambrettas had no bodywork to speak of; it wouldn't be until 1950 that a rear cowl, floorboards and front legshields appeared. By the 1960s, the familiar rounded, all-enclosing bodywork was in place, there being very little stylistic difference between Lambretta and Vespa at the time. That changed in 1966 with the arrival of the 200 cc SX series and its more-angular 'Slimline' styling, embodying what many enthusiasts regard as the definitive Lambretta look.Project Special X was initiated to gain more of a look of quality and attention to detail that Innocenti was renowned for. So the SX was designed with a new headset, and the panels, which now had the three fingered flashes pointing forwards (the 150cc model retained the T.V. type badges). Again the 200 cc version had the front disc brake, and the S.X was the first Lambretta to gain a 90mph speedometer. The most important changes were to the engine however, with the cylinder, exhaust, head, and piston all reworked to improve power, while reducing vibration. This gave the 200cc an output of 11bhp, although lower than the T.V, with all its modifications the S.X had better acceleration with only a marginal loss of top speed. Many changes were again made mid production with early ones having white switches, later changing to black, horn cast grilles painted the same colour as the bike, whereas the later models gained polished ones. The majority had handles to secure the side panels, but later these were later discarded in favour of the clip-on type of the G.P. By the time production stopped in January of 1969, some three years after beginning, 20,783 2 00 cc versions and 31,238 150 cc versions had passed along the production line.MAT, with its frame number of 843602 was the 13,601st produced and it was originally sold by Miles Ltd of Hull in 1967. Purchased by our vendor in early 1969 as a replacement for the LD in this auction, he was given the name Road Runner. His journeys were to more distant places than Florence, venturing as far as Manchester, Birmingham and Blackpool.In April 1973 he was laid up in the garage next to Florence when our vendor upgraded to a motor car and has suffered the same fate as the LD, being moved to various garage's during family moves and will now need a full restoration. At present the engine is seized; it is not on the DVLA register. This is a unique opportunity for a collector of these rare machines to purchase an original, unmolested example.Sold with a 1972 MOT with the mileage at 17,944, a 1970 certificate of insurance and three keys.
Lot 1047
1959 Velocette Venom, 499 cc. Registration number SJN 29 (non transferrable). Frame number RS 11583. Engine number VM 2661. The Venom was Velocette's hottest bike from its inception in 1955. In 1961 a factory-prepared Venom with a small fairing set the world's 24-hour endurance speed record of 100.05 MPH at the Montlhery race track in France. The record stood until 2008 for 500 cc motorcycles. The 499 cc Venom was derived from the Velocette MSS. In a field crowded with a new crop of vertical twins from nearly every maker, Velocette simply didn't have the means to join the vertical twin race. They had to make do with what they had, that being a line of very advanced singles. Designed by Eurgene Goodman (son of the owner) and Charles Udall, the Venom engine of 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 86 x 86 mm had an alloy cylinder with cast iron liner, an alloy cylinder head and a high compression piston. The cam was set high in the crankcase to allow for very short pushrods. This offered some of the benefits of an overhead cam setup, but was much simpler and cheaper to produce. The MSS frame and forks were retained for the newcomer, but full-width alloy hubs were adopted to boost braking power and smart chromed mudguards fitted to enhance the models' sporting image. Manufactured until the end of Velocette production in 1971, the Venom represents the final glorious flowering of the traditional British sports single. SJN has had its frame and numbers confirmed by Classic Grove Motorcycles who are the custodians of the Velocette records; the frame left Veloce on the 17th October 1958 and went to Newcastle, the engine left Veloce in 1958 and went to Leigh on Sea. What happened to both of these machines is unknown but in December 1993 John Cruse of Robertsbridge in East Sussex registered it with DVLA. One presumes he was the man who restored it, as it was like it is now when our vendor bought it in 2004. He has rarely used it and now it has the wonderful look of an older restoration. It will require some gentle recommissioning before going on the road. Sold with the V5C, a photocopy of the service manual, an original BMS service series book and the Roy Bacon Motorcycles Monographs number 14.
