Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. Probably the most sought-after models produced by BSA are the Gold Star range of 350 and 500cc singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the late ‘50s early '60s. There were only about 1300 genuine Rocket Gold Stars made and they normally command a very high price but authentic-looking replicas can be made using an A10 as a starting point fitted with a few distinctive Goldie items.This replica looks the part with a Gold Star style fuel tank, brakes, exhaust, mudguards and headlamp brackets together with a 120mph speedo and a new 8k redline tacho sourced at a cost of over £400. The vendor reports it has the more desirable thick flange barrel, alloy Rocket cylinder head and is fitted with unleaded valve seats. This good-looking BSA has been part of an enthusiast private collection of British classics for a few years, only selling now to make space in his garage for other projects, not run for a while it will need some recommissioning but the engine turns over on the kickstarter and it comes with a current V5C.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: T.B.A Engine No: T.B.A CC: 98 MOT: ExemptA rare war-time survivorUsed in the ‘Foyles War’ TV DramaPart of a collection of motorcyclesNo documentationWanderer was a German manufacturer of bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles, vans and other machinery. Established as Winklhofer & Jaenicke in 1896 by Johann Baptist Winklhofer and Richard Adolf Jaenicke, the company used the Wanderer brand name from 1911, making civilian automobiles until 1941 and military vehicles until 1945. Wanderer was last active as a financial holding company without its own business operations and went bankrupt in July 2010. The brand was then acquired by Cologne-based manufacturer Zweirad Einkaufs Genossenschaft. The car division with its Siegmar factory became part of Auto Union together with Horch, Audi and DKW.Here you can see is a restored Wanderer SP1 manufactured in 1939. The motorcycle is of 98cc, with two gears and moves well according to the vendor. He also states “We made a complete restoration and saved many of the original details. We had to make some missing ones, but for this we used original models, some of them found in a pretty bad condition. We painted it in the original colour range and made all the lines and inscriptions as it was done in 1939, in the production of this motorcycle”. There is no documentation with this lot.

After mainly producing single cylinder designs for their road bikes Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive V-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design from the sporty Le Mans models to the custom Californias. The V35 and V50 models were launched as lightweight versions of the bigger capacity V-twins eventually growing to 750cc, introducing an entirely new group of riders to the mystique and cachet of the Moto Guzzi brand.This is the quite rare 750cc custom version of the lightweight Guzzi V-twin range, still featuring the classic shaft drive transverse engine layout they have become famous for. It comes fitted with some nice accessories including a chrome rear carrier/backrest, chrome engine bars and Oxford heated grips. A good useable future classic with a low seat height and electric starter, supplied with a few old MOTs and a current V5C.

Registration No: WXG 936 Frame No: T1P02 7010 Engine No: T1P02 7053 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptExceptional restored conditionWithin the first 2100 Lambrettas ever madeCorrect numbers.76 years old and a very rare modelV5C for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta Model A or 125M as it was first called, was the first ever Lambretta launched on October 1947 and so began the legend that is Lambretta. During its sole year in production only 9669 were produced and it was subject to dozens of modifications in this short time. The 125M was never exported, had a 125cc engine, 3 speed gearbox and foot operated gear change. It has no suspension except a rubber block at the front. It had 7 inch wheels, later changed to 8 inch on the model B. Many of the parts were chrome plated and the overall design was extremely elegant, particularly the deco-style gear shift guide and the sweeping front mudguard. These machines are now very rare and there are very few registered for the road in the UK.Chassis number 7010 (numbering started at 5001). This extremely well-restored example in the correct colour and using the original parts or quality NOS replacements as specified by Casa Lambretta. One must remember that until only recent times new 7 inch tyres of the specification were impossible to find and remade parts were not in production. The scooter was sought out in Italy by avid collector and perfectionist Craig Robinson who acted fast to secure this fine example circa 2013. Our vendor was able to acquire it in 2021.We were able to see the scooter in full working condition at the time of consignment and as one can see from the photographs and accompanying video the condition is exceptional. These 1940s Lambrettas are tipped for rocketing collectability in the future and good examples are becoming hard to find and seldom come onto the market. Also supplied with the scooter is an exact replica handbook as reproduced by Tino Sacchi and the original sales brochure in first reprint with the number stamp which is also collectible in itself.

The machine had painted, valance mudguards and a more conventional steel tank. Various accessories such as fairings, leg-guards and panniers could be fitted dependent on the purchaser's requirements. Around 450 Fleetstars were manufactured, about 250 these being sold to the police.An exceedingly rare machine, being one of approximately c.450 examples produced by BSA. The V5C confirms the machine was first registered in 1969 and records only 3 former keepers. A not to be missed opportunity for the serious BSA collector!

Registration No: SLH 901S Frame No: 102303 Engine No: 102303 CC: 498 MOT: ExemptBeautifully restored Yamaha XS500Featured in the Classic Bike GuideOver £15,000 spent on restorationWhile the Yamaha XS 500 may not boast the same street credibility as its larger counterpart, the XS 650. The engine was an air-cooled twin, four-stroke. The XS 500C was the revamped-for-1976 model and came with something resembling more style and better durability. The first models had some problems with warping valve seats, so later cylinder heads were changed to round exhaust ports to help the heat dissipate.This 1977 Yamaha XS 500 (believed to be the C model) has had a full restoration at a total of £15,414.19 during 2013. The XS 500 has since been featured in the classic bike guide with a seven-page spread. This is a UK-supplied machine from new and was registered on the 1st of October 1977 is a rare survivor today in this condition. Used by the current vendor during the summer months only and has been in winter storage. We have been advised that Yamaha will need the usual checks before placing back on the road. It comes complete with a current V5C detailed paperwork for all work carried out, service and parts books, and a copy of the magazine feature.

Registration No: JCH 263N Frame No: 3072 Engine No: 50975 CC: 175 MOT: ExemptInteresting and apparently UK suppliedUnrestored and remarkably originalOnly 187km from newWithout reserveVoskhod motorcycles were manufactured from around 1965 at the Degtyaryov Plant in the Russian town of Kovrov. Most Voskhod motorcycles had a 175cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine and between 1973 and 1979 were one of the makes marketed by SATRA in the United Kingdom as Cossack. In the 1970s the plant made over 220,000 motorcycles annually, exporting to such countries as Italy, Norway, UK and Australia.An incredible find today of a very rare Cossack twin. DVLA records show its first registration as April 1975 and subsequently taxed for just 1 year. Indicating a credible 187km, the underseat pump is still wrapped in brown tissue paper. The engine turns freely and has compression. Offered with an original dealer sales sheet and a UK supplied handbook in Russian!

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The NT650 was designed by Toshiaki Kishi and was only the second model after the RC30 to be fitted with Honda's patented "Pro-Arm" single-sided rear swinging arm. Supplied with either 400cc or 600cc engines, it was named the 'Bros' in Japan because the two different engine displacement versions were conceived together as 'brothers', it was more excitingly known as the Hawk in other markets. A very well-specified and rare bike in the UK.This 1988 model, being offered at 'no reserve', was bought by the vendor from BAT Motorcycles as a 'grey' import in 1999. Recent work includes the fitting of a 'Fuel' end can and a front and rear brake overhaul. Supplied in its original paint and chrome, included is an extensive paperwork file including numerous old MOTs and Tax Disc, lots of receipts, the original Honda tool kit and a current V5C. Please note, this bike has recently been returned to the UK from the vendors home in Portugal. The battery had to be removed to allow for transport so a new one will be needed before use.

Registration No: GGW 867N Frame No: 762C 413897 Engine No: 762M 413954 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptOriginal all over including paint Full known history and only 1 owner from newBritish registered from new on 1st October 1974V5C present for use on UK roads We use the word rare quite a lot at the H & H Vintage Scooter Auction because that is what we specialise in. However, the word cannot be over emphasised here. The question is when is a 125 Super not a 125 Super? After a call from the client we expect a large bodied Italian made machine with 8 inch wheels and not that exciting. The specimen we are presented with is the ultra rare SU66 only imported into the UK in small numbers from Spain to alleviate a temporary supply problem caused by industrial action in Italy. Motovespa from Ciudad, near Madrid had been manufacturing Vespas under license since 1956 broadly manufacturing models in line with the Italian ranges using many Italian parts and the same paint codes. The SU66 125 Super with the prefix 762 was most similar to the Italian Primavera 125 but with notable differences. The scooter had a large glove box on the inside of the leg shields and a striking spare wheel assembly around the rear light. The exhaust tailpipe also came out of the opposite side to the Italian Primavera. The UK imported versions were the only models that had a Veglia Bressel MPH speedometer. They were also made famous as the Texaco 'Tourist pilot'.Here we present an astonishing original example. It was bought for our client by his father as a surprise gift brand new from Mike Duffy Motorcycles of Sidcup Road, Eltham. The scooter was intended to help him get to college although it was used rather seldomly and has only amassed a total of 3911 miles in its life. The original old blue type log book confirms it was bought brand new and first registered on 1st October 1974. It was last used in 1977 by our client and according to him it has followed him ever since always garage stored and unused.All over the scooter we can see complete originality and the paint has no touch ups anywhere that we could see. There are no holes cut for crash bars. The engine is unmodified, the seat is the original. Full original keys are present. This exceptional Vespa is still on its original tyres. No effort was made to start the scooter at the time of consignment. This is a very rare opportunity to buy, quite possibly the best original SU66 that we or you will see for a very long time, in this condition.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 150Li 576810 Engine No: 150Li 749682 CC: 150 MOT: ExemptVery originalCorrect engine and frame numbersNOVA for UK registration and all import duties paidThe Lambretta Li Series 1 was 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 TV175 Series 1 had. The Li150 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 an instant hit. Coupled with beautiful styling it is a machine hugely sought after for many years by collectors.This extremely original example is untouched except for an amateur over-paint which could be removed with solution. The scooter is extremely straight and the panels are excellent apart from the front mudguard. The extremely rare and original Covolo seat is working, with a seat catch and grab handles. Upon examination we noted that the originality is indeed impressive. The original cables appear to have never been removed. The hand levers are the correct type with the slotted cut out. All of the original rubbers are present including for the front mudguard and this could be the basis of a very smart restoration or conservation with all original and hard to find parts present and reusable. No attempt has yet been made to start her and the engine is 'locked'. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Lot 216

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible Engine No: 77OB 9140 CC: 200 MOT: ExemptA rare and unusual 2 strokeRestored with good paintworkNot many left or knownCurrently no paperworkBased in Ascot, the Ambassador motorcycle firm was owned by ex-racing car and motorboat driver, Kaye Don, who was also the importer of Zundapp motorcycles and Pontiac cars. All of the motorcycles used Villiers engines and were in production from 1947 to 1964. When Kaye Don retired, all manufacturing was sold to Smokey Dawson of DMW Motorcycles in Birmingham.Missing its horns, one knee grip, rear chain guard lower section and handlebar cover, this is otherwise a nice example of the model from that year. The Ambassador Three Star Specials produced between 1959 and 1962 all featured slight variances, but this one is correct for 1961. Purchased by the vendor as a restored example for his collection. It is not known when the vendor purchased the Ambassador for the collection but has not been used since the purchase. Sadly, there is no documentation with this lot. Some recommissioning may be required before use. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

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: BB 2076 Frame No: 1022 Engine No: 1022 CC: 770 MOT: ExemptA rare survivor with just a handful knownIt is believed to have its original New Hudson SidecarRestored over 2019/20Old and new logbooksNew Hudson Motorcycles was a Birmingham-based motorcycle manufacturer which started producing powered motorcycles in 1903. The New Hudson motorcycle range expanded from 1910 through to 1915 using JAP engines before joining the war effort putting motorcycle production on hold. The company continued producing motorcycles after the Great War before stopping in 1933, changing their name to Girling Ltd and continuing to produce automotive components. Some of our readers may be familiar with the later New Hudson autocycles which were produced by BSA under the New Hudson name after the Second World War.This combination was purchased by the previous owner for the purposes of restoration. Prior to the current owner, we understand it was with the previous owner for nearly 60 years. The previous owner used it without the sidecar for many years before the whole outfit needed a complete restoration. Unfortunately, there is no further history documented with this one, as is often the case with earlier motorcycles. The V5C states it has had three former keepers, but it wouldn’t surprise us if the complete, exact ownership over the last 108 years had alluded the records.Presented for auction today is the result of a diligent and mindful restoration. Care has been taken to aim for originality with both shades of Green having been colour-matched from the components prior to painting. It hasn’t all been overfilled and smoothed over meaning that, whilst it is a wonderful job, it still has its story to tell, and it feels like a 1914 outfit. It drives nicely and starts very reliably. This would be expected as the engine was rebuilt by renowned V-twin experts, Cowley Restorations of Derbyshire. The magneto is correct for the era and the carb has, again, been professionally overhauled. It is a three-speed hand change gearbox with a belt drive onto the back wheel. The lubrication is by an oil drip feed which can be overridden manually when needed. The sidecar is a beautiful addition with stunning woodwork and a remarkable sprung system.Paperwork includes a buff logbook which we think was issued in 1970, alongside a selection of invoices from the recent restoration. The motorcycle is stated as having been registered in 1921 and includes a modern V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 150LiS 247702 Engine No: 150Li 764762 CC: 150 MOT: ExemptCompletely original and untouchedGenuine Red Italian 150 SpecialCorrect numbersIn apparently full running orderNOVA for easy UK registration or exportExceptional opportunityThe ‘150 Special’ debuted at Milan in 1963. The tuned engine and close-ratio gearbox made for a faster – 95kmh – machine with much-improved acceleration over a standard Li. The Special 150cc engine/gearing combination on these models was also particularly sought after by Lambretta racers who raided the machine engines and this has contributed to the rarity of them in original state.Here we present something special. A complete original paint unmolested pure genuine Italian 150 Special originally supplied in all red paint. We understand that there were very few factory-made Specials in red and the other known examples are SX200 models and only two of these are known to have survived. This the only 150 Special known to exist according to the vendor who has extensive Lambretta contacts and also through our own research. All of the red Lambrettas were sent as a special order to the USA as mentioned by Vittorio Tessera in his historical notes. It is also believed that these were a special order for a regional US post office. This very rare scooter was imported to the UK by Dean Harvey of Scootopia in 2016 it has a NOVA on file for simple UK registration or easy export.On close examination we note that there appears to have been a temporary sidecar fitted at some point. The original stand which would have been removed to do that was retained and was refitted and indeed is in the original red paint but in excellent unfaded condition in our opinion. It is interesting to see that all over the scooter the areas of paint that would have caught the sun have faded while other areas under shade have stayed quite vibrant. It is quite possible that the spare wheel would have had a cover to retain the brighter paint. There is a small running in transfer still visible inside the leg shield in English only. Believed totally original all over we could not see any touch ups to the paint anywhere. The original Giuliari seat is in pretty good condition with its original cover having minor unstitching at the top. The MPH Veglia speedometer shows 944 miles only which could easily be genuine. Our vendor has carefully specialised in collecting very original examples and we note that all of the outer cables, grease-points and cable straps have never been removed. Still standard as a 150 on 6V points. All of the original keys are present for the tool box, steering lock and ignition. The totally original standard engine started up easily and sounded very good at time of consignment. Please see running video.

The company made an effort to take their name racing. There was Lightweight TT success in 1929 race, followed by the Excelsior/Blackburne ‘Mechanical Marvel’ winning the 1933 TT.This Excelsior that is offered is possibly a really quite rare surviving racing Excelsior motorcycle. Having been in the possession of, and restored by, Ewan Cameron of Cameron Engineering, using a ‘works’ frame, forks, and petrol tank, it had a new rear end having been manufactured to original specification as it had been converted to a swing arm unit some time in its life and was used for grass-track racing in the West Country. The possibility exists that this machine was likely used by the Excelsior factory racing and development department for the 1931/32 seasons. It has a frame number ‘TT1’, which may have been the identification by the factory racing department to identify the racing frames or could have been ‘race replicas’ or ‘sports models’, we cannot be sure, however, the configuration is seemingly similar to ‘works’ machines of the period, particularly with the history of Excelsior/JAP motorcycles in competition. It has been with Ewan Cameron for some time. We have been informed it runs and rides very well and quick. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

An initial diversification into 4-wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. Better known for their two strokes in 1977 Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with Japanese build quality and performance levels. The GSX range appeared in the early 1980s matching together Suzuki's bulletproof bottom end with 4 valves per cylinder. The legendary GSX1100 was one of the most powerful bikes of the day and became the starting point for many 'streetfighter' and drag race specials.This rare unmodified GSX1100E musclebike is the ultimate expression of Suzukis air cooled 4 stroke range before they moved onto oil and then water cooling. Whilst a powerful bike in its day, there was plenty of scope left for tuning in its over-engineered motor so very few have survived in standard trim. This bike has been part of a private collection for a while and is only being sold to make space in the vendors garage. Run recently (see video) it may need a new battery before use and whilst fitted with a Cobra 4 into 1, it comes with a genuine and rare black chrome 4 into 2 exhaust system. Also included are 20 old MOTs, some receipts, a magazine featuring the model, an MOT until August this year and a current V5C.

The Vespa SS90 made between 1965 and 1971 is much sought after by collectors due to its extreme rarity and only just over 5000 were produced. The later Vespa SS90 Racer is even rarer with a total reported production of only 3512 machines. The engine is identical to the SS90 Supersprint with the two-stroke 88.5 cc engine as a single-cylinder, air-cooled unit with a bore/stroke of 47/51mm and an 8.7:1 compression ratio. It’s paired with a 4-speed gearbox, the dry weight is 77 kilograms, and the top speed is 93km/h (58mph). The only visible difference on the 90 Racer is that the exhaust was black as opposed to the SS90 exhaust which was chrome. The frame was a standard Vespa 90 body with simple Vespa badging on the front. On the rear, however, there was an identifiable sticker ‘Racer’. The headset, forks and wheels were the same as the 125 Primavera.This 90 Racer is a very interesting lot indeed. The original correct engine is there but will need restoration and is missing some parts. However, the extremely rare SS90 ’S’ cylinder barrel is supplied. The chassis is an original correct SS90 racer frame although work had started to cut down to imitate a SS90 Supersprint and this work could be continued. The frame has already been jigged to be correct by well-known Vespa engineer John McLochlan. There are also many extremely hard-to-find original and correct parts including the seat which is in very good order, the speedometer, ball-end levers, headset and front light. This could be a very worthwhile restoration project and it already has a V5C. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

It was the first scooter of the Li range and appeared some 7 months before the Li. The new 4-speed TV machine was able to reach an unprecedented 103kmh (64mph) which was a significant improvement on the 3-speed LD models which it replaced. However, the new engine was not without its problems and various changes to the design were made during its short production run to improve things. It had a large carburettor with a diaphragm and a complicated kick start arrangement. Early examples had cable adjusters on the handlebar levers. The rear suspension had a combined spring and hydraulic shock which allowed the engine to swivel silent mounts. The wheel rims had chrome edging. The rear light had a triple bulb arrangement with an orange lens either side of a red centre. The new enclosed chain driven engine had an increased capacity and the crankshaft, barrel, piston and gearbox ratio were changed. The front forks were fitted with external shock absorbers. The rear plate and fork links were redesigned to cope with the extra power. The TV175 models were fitted with a Veglia 120 km/h speedometer face and a dual seat. The ‘Lambretta’ and ‘TV175’ side panel badges were attached to the panels with small nuts as opposed to the riveted badges on the Series 1 Li panels. Often referred to as the ‘tourer’ it had a superb performance when running correctly coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors.This early version example with cable lever adjusters was imported recently into the UK and is registered to enjoy immediately. She was reportedly in use on the road in Sweden up until the present and our vendor did join a local rally on it at the time of purchase riding some 50km without issue. The scooter certainly appears to be mechanically well maintained but with striking patina. The rear shock has been replaced with a correct type and the floor mats are new but we could find little else that was not original to the scooter. Used floor mats are sometimes available and would complete the entire original look. The seat is the original Aquila Continentale with a cover replaced long ago. Please see below videoOf note the original correct speedometer with chrome bezel is showing 11,694km. The scooter being largely untouched and unmodified is showing superb originality all over the machine including: Sound deadening rough in all the correct paces, lights front and rear, carburettor and fuel tap, ignition, engine and the electrics are still on 6v points. A TV series 1 in this unmodified condition, fully running with full keys and V5C is a rare and desirable machine.

BMW manufactured 15,364 R27 models over the production years of 1960 to 1966. BMW did things differently from other manufacturers. This is evident in the R27. Its enclosed shaft final drive is rare for a single-cylinder motorcycle. But it also had a triangulated Earles front fork (named after English designer Ernest Earles).Declared first registered in 1961 and originating in the Palmers Green area of London with the first owner, Mitchell Erskine Ltd, the R27 stayed in London before making it to Kent in 1963, followed by ownership in Berkshire, Wiltshire, Northumberland and later Derbyshire since the mid 1980s. It is lovely to see this R27 is offered with an original R27 Instruction Manual and a BMW factory-produced Repair Manual. Also accompanying the Munich machine are a couple of spare parts books, a collection of old tax discs dating back to 1971, old MOT certificates, a buff logbook plus two old blue V5s. Understood to have not been run in the last 18 months '1994 MT' has been in current family ownership since 1986 and is offered with a current V5C Registration Document.

The C range encompassed scooterette and motorcycle styles and was sold in 50cc, 70cc and 90cc engine sizes and could stake a claim for being the most important and influential motorised vehicle ever designed. To put things into context the C range has sold more individual units than the top three selling cars of all time combined! The early models were OHV pushrod designs with a cast iron barrel and head but by the mid 1960s had become OHV with alloy heads.This early OHV model, being offered without reserve, still features pushrods in its 6.5hp engine. Rare in the UK, it is an older restoration but has kept a good degree of originality including the neat little indicators that would have been quite a feature on an early ‘60s motorbike. Not run for a number of years it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a Dating Certificate and a V5C, however, the keys have gone missing over the years.

Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid 1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles and its legendary, and still-unbeaten, record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single cylinder machine. The KSS featured an overhead camshaft engine that was quite rare in a road bike at the time and formed the basis of the chammpionship winning KTTs.This 1936 KSS was bought by the vendor in 1996 and lovingly restored by him over the next few years with an extensive paperwork folder of receipts and technical information documenting the process. A stunning looking bike with its large fishtail silencer and gloss black finish, it was very much ahead of its time with its OHC top end but proved to be a very expensive bike to manufacture. Unfortunately, due to ill health the vendor can no longer ride so it’s time to let someone else have the pleasure. Not run for a couple of years it will need some recommissioning and comes supplied with the aforementioned paperwork file of invoices and technical information, a few old MOTs, various manuals and a current V5C.

The scooter was discovered by Douglas managing Director Claude McCormack when the struggling company was in the hands of the official receiver. The Vespa presented itself as a solution to the companies problems and a deal was made with Piaggio to begin production of the Vespa under licence in Britain starting with the ‘Rod model’ launched in March 1951. Piaggio soon regretted this decision and consequently Douglas under-performed and was several years behind the Italian models until the late 1950’s when parity was almost made. The result in today’s international collectors market is that British built Douglas Vespas have in recent times emerged with a special rarity status.The Supreme was one of three special edition Sportiques made by Douglas in Bristol. The Sportique itself was almost identical to the Piaggio VBB with a reliable 150cc motor using many Piaggio supplied Italian parts and sporting an attractive GS style clam shaped 60 MPH speedometer. The ‘Grand Luxe’ ‘Grand Tourer’ and ‘Supreme’ were all unique designs built from 1962 to 1965. The Supreme was supplied in bespoke silver paint with chrome side panels and front mudguard from new in keeping with the ‘Mod’ demand at the time.This Supreme was originally registered in Taunton, Somerset on 20th April 1964. A new keeper in 1974 a Thomas Cole from Bath and then a John Lewis of Radstock. It has obviously been overpainted but some effort has been made to reveal the original paint and this could be continued. The result could potentially be a unique patina. The chrome panels are still showing some chrome evidence and a similar outcome could be achieved. It is evident that the scooter has had a sidecar fitted in its life and the top fitting bracket is still attached. There is one hole in the floor where the lower sidecar bracket would have been. Other than that it is very solid generally all over. There is a high level of originality including: Douglas D handgrips, original speedometer, lights are original, seat and badges. The front Douglas badge is also original and just needs the remaining overpaint scraped off. The cylinder head and exhaust are missing however there are some parts supplied and replacement parts for these engines are not difficult to source. This is an extremely worthwhile project and a very rare machine. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

It was at the 1921 French Grand Prix that the marque's soon to be famous long-stroke side-valve engine clocked up a debut win for rider Alec Bennett. Powering Sunbeam road machines, this legendary motor was then to remain in production until WW2.This 1926 Sunbeam Model 7 was restored by the previous owner to a good standard, since its completion it has been used on many vintage events since. The engine was rebuilt by Chris Odling. The Sunbeam benefits from the hard to find four speed gearbox. The current vendor has advised us the Sunbeam is running very well and has lots of power when needed. The sidecar was manufactured by Grindlay and is a rare survivor today, this was restored at the same time as the Sunbeam.

Item: Dealer Sign Date: c.1960 Origin: ItalyOriginal and rare Italian dealer signGood original conditionInnocenti was a great engineering and marketing success story but much of this was down to the extensive network of dealers established in all corners of Italy. It was said that you were never far from the helping hand of a trained Lambretta mechanic wherever you were.Presented here is a genuine original double sided dealers sign that was only distributed to dealers in Italy. The Blue colour denotes that it is the late 1950s to mid-1960s design that were made by Smalterie Lombarde of Milan. The condition is very good with the rubbers at the hanging points still in place. The enamel is good with a deep sheen and there are fewer scrapes and scuffs than you would expect of a sign of this age. The size is 90cm by 72cm. You have the scooter and wherever you park it can only be enhanced with a genuine part of Lambretta history.

In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence and the Commando launched in 1967 carried on this theme culminating in Peter Williams’ victory in the 1973 Formula 750 TT. The bike was first seen in 1967 at the Earls Court Show and the first production bikes were available in March 1968 initially with 750cc displacement, in 1973 it became an 850cc. During its ten years of production the Commando was popular all over the world, in the United Kingdom winning the Motor Cycle News "Machine of the Year" award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Around 60,000 Commandos were made in total with the Mark 3 being the last model offered before the company's demise in 1975.This very well presented Mk3 Commando has been restored and modified by a previous owner to make it more reliable and better to ride. The always suspect starter motor has been upgraded, a Mikuni carb fitted, Boyer Brandson electronic ignition, Landsdown adjustable fork cartridges, Koni rear dampers and a Norvil twin disc front end. The cosmetic restoration was completed with stainless steel rims and spokes shod with some modern tyres. It would be hard to find a better example of what is quite a rare version of one of the last great British bikes of the era.

Just over 41700 were produced. The Rally also known as the Queen of Vespas was a large performance step up from the earlier models of the 1960s. The 180 versions were well-received for their performance and appearance. The 200 was similar to the Rally 180 but with a larger capacity cylinder capable of producing over 10hp and crankcase modifications were made necessary to accommodate that. There was also a new FEMSA electronic unit and the Rally 200 was produced in a range of vibrant colours in tune with the fashions of the 1970s.Here we present a remarkably original example. The original old blue-type logbook confirms it was bought brand new by a Mr Robert Ross of Dudley from Joseph Devey and Co. (Motorcycle Agents) of Wolverhampton and the original sales receipt shows the price paid was the sum of £395.81. It is the extremely rare 30th anniversary model of which it is said only 400 were produced in the Azzuro China colour. Our vendor purchased it from the first owner in 2013 and has never used it (the V5C is showing 3 previous users because our vendor put the scooter into his father-in-law's name and then back to himself, although neither of them actually used the scooter). The mileage is showing 8,284 miles and this is believed to be genuine. We can see from the MOT test in 1979 the mileage at 8,150 miles. It is believed to have been stored away soon after 1979 and not used since. The original logbook, guarantee and service book are present as is the original user manual in English.All over the scooter we can see originality and the paint has no touch-ups anywhere that we could see. There are no holes cut for crash bars. The engine is unmodified, the seat is the original. The Femsatronic ignition is the original 6v. We noted that the wheel rims and tyres are new as is the horn and stand feet rubbers, but that was all. The original VARTA battery outer casing has been re-used with a smaller modern battery inserted inside. Everything else is as it was when purchased. It also comes with the original tool bag and tools (not photographed) and full original keys, of course. Remarkably despite being laid up since 1979 the scooter starts and rides. This is a very rare opportunity to acquire one of the best original Rally 200s to come onto the market for some considerable time.

Harley epitomise large-capacity cruisers that many have tried to copy but have never managed to match Harley's image and prestige. For some the Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King is the best example of Harleys products, combining the 1950s style of the Fat Boy with the versatility and comfort of the Glides thanks to its twin shock chassis, with the custom model featuring leather panniers, backrest and windscreen. At its heart lies a classic HD vee twin air-cooled 1450cc Twin Cam motor driving through a five-speed manual transmission delivering a torque figure of 117Nm at only 3500rpm. That impressive amount of low down torque is ideal for pulling along a sidecar like the bespoke LAK wide bodied version fitted to this bike. Harley never offered a sidecar to suit driving on the left hand side of the road but LAK used some of the fittings of the home market models to produce a stunning looking sidecar that compliments the shape and style of the Road King. This rare combination is presented in excellent condition, run recently it is only being sold as the vendor needs to downsize his collection. The bike comes fitted with lots of extras including a genuine HD screen, backrest, crash bars, spot lights, sound system and leather saddlebags. The colour matched wide bodied sidecar is a work of art and really looks like it belongs on the bike. Fitted with what appears to be genuine Harley features such as the lights and mudguard crest, there is a chrome rack on the rear and it includes all of its protective covers. The bike has been modified for sidecar use with the correct profile tyres all round and most importantly, a 'Champion' reverse gear kit. This distinctive looking outfit stands out from the crowd and would cost a small fortune to put together new, the reverse gear kit alone would come to around £1750 alone. It comes supplied with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189

The scooter was discovered in Italy by Douglas managing Director Claude McCormack when the company was in the hands of the official receiver. The Vespa presented itself as a solution to the British companies problems and a deal was made with Piaggio to begin production of the Vespa under licence in Bristol in England starting with the ‘Rod model’ launched in March 1951.The 152L2 range of Vespas released in 1959 were the immediate successors to the long running ‘tubular handlebar’ scooters of the 1950s and in the UK was the first model made in Britain to have cast handlebars like the GS. The 152L2 came more into line with the Piaggio production style of the VNA and had a completely redesigned flat topped body and engine which formed the basis for decades of future Vespas. Many of the parts were imported from Italy and the 152L2 is unique in that it has a mix of Italian and British made parts. The engine was a rotary inducted design which improved reliability, gave more power but reduced fuel consumption and required less oil in the fuel mix. The carburettor was relocated to a position just above the engine. The whole package was a much more professional looking machine whilst retaining many similar features of the desirable lines of the GS. With a sale price of £131 the 152L2 was regarded as a very reliable machine and could travel at 46mph. They are now becoming increasingly collectible as with most of the Bristol made Vespas.This 152L2 is in an untouched original condition and in the very rare lilac paint option. The engine is completely standard 125cc with its original exhaust which started up easily at the time of consignment. We could not see any replacement parts except an original correct switch unit. The Veglia speedometer is showing 3,597 miles which could easily be true judging by the overall excellent condition of this scooter. The white Denfield Douglas seat is in excellent condition with no rips or tears. The original paint is extremely good and the original running in transfer is clear. The floor runners are excellent and correct. The scooter is supplied with its original and hard to find windscreen brackets also in the original Lilac colour. There are also original perimeter ‘Florida’ bars fitted. The scooter will need to be registered if to be used on UK roads.

While it has endured some tough times, spending several years mothballed, the distillery has undergone a bit of a renaissance since being bought over by Glenmorangie and is now on a stable footing. While it still retains its signature sooty spirit, Ardbeg has also adopted its new parent company’s fondness for experimental cask finishes, arguably increasing its appeal.
