1949 Lambretta 125cc Tipo B Motor ScooterFrame no. 108084Engine no. TIPO B 18024Manufactured by the Italian industrial giant Innocenti, the Lambretta gained instant acceptance in the immediate post-war years, not the least because of its cleanliness and convenience. Introduced in 1947, the Lambretta was a less radical design than Piaggio's rival Vespa, using a traditional tube frame rather than the Vespa's pressed-steel monocoque chassis. The engine was exposed in the Lambretta and the leg shields were smaller than the Vespa's, but in its favour the Innocenti product had a larger engine and a pillion seat, making ownership potentially a more sociable experience. The 125cc engine produced 4.3bhp, which was good enough for a top speed of 65-70km/h (40-44mph). The first Lambretta - the Tipo 'A' - was relatively crude but the 'B' model (1948-1950) boasted rear suspension, a twist-grip gear change, and larger (8') wheels. The A's small wheels had not been liked but in its new form the Lambretta gained mass acceptance, and by the end of 1950 Innocenti was producing up to 100 per day. An older restoration by a marque specialist, the Lambretta offered here was purchased from the Morbidelli Collection at Bonhams' Stafford Sale in April 2020 (Lot 62) and since then has been kept in a temperature controlled environment. Recommissioning will be required before use. The machine is offered with NOVA clearance and operating/instruction manuals. There is no registration document with this Lot.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1996 Honda C90 Cub EconomyRegistration no. N997 OEWFrame no. HA02-5307965Engine no. HA02E-2304887Introduced in 1958, Honda's classic Cub 'step-thru' gave millions of people the world over their first taste of two-wheeled mobility.

1958 Velocette 200cc LE MkIIIRegistration no. 248 YUUFrame no. 1575-34Engine no. 1575-34Launched in 1948, as the 'motorcycle for everyman', the Velocette LE addressed the criticisms most often levelled at motorcycles - that they were noisy, dirty and needed special clothing to ride - achieving impressive levels of silence, comfort and practicality. Sadly for the LE, its arrival coincided with the start of the scooter boom; asked to compete against Italian style, Velo's ugly duckling never stood a chance, even after the sidevalve flat twin's performance had been boosted by a capacity increase from 149 to 192cc in 1950 with the introduction of the MkII. This LE is an example of the MkIII which was introduced for 1959, its principal improvement being a four-speed, foot-change gearbox with kick-starter. In addition, the speedometer, ammeter and light switch were moved from the leg shield to the headlamp shell. Acquired at date unknown, this LE is offered with SORN paperwork and a V5C.

Along with the rival Lambretta, the Piaggio-built Vespa mobilised an entire generation of Italians in the immediately post-war years, the hitherto humble scooter going on to become part of British youth culture in the 1960s as favourite transport of the fashion-conscious 'Mods'. Douglas built the Vespa under licence in the UK between 1951 and 1963, continuing to import the machine from Italy thereafter. GKL has been subject to a high quality custom paint scheme, The Joker, cover the main panels. The engine also appears to have been worked on with a sports Sterling exhaust. Bought by our vendor as a shop display piece he has now decided on a change of display. Sold with the V5C, it will require recommissioning before use.
1967 Vespa Douglas 150 Sprint, 145cc. Registration number PKH 219F (see text). Frame number VLB1T-054358. Engine number 044547. The Piaggio industrial group were devastated by WWII and post war were not allowed to build aircraft, instead they helped mobilise the Italian public with a new transport concept, the scooter. During trials the buzzing noise of the engine and body shape combined for the scooter to be christened the ‘Vespa’ the Italian translation for wasp. From the launch in 1946 it was such a success that it has become a symbol of taste, fashion and style and is one of the favourite global design icons of all time. The Sprint succeeded the GL has the same layout and design is the same as the GL, with updated styling and 10" wheels, it was made until 1968. The VLB model range was made from 1965 until 1974. PKH has known history back to 2003 when it was bought by our vendors father who took the original KEE registration off it. At this time it was silver in colour with a recorded mileage of 6,386 miles, in 2008 another MOT records 6,395 miles and it had been painted red. Stored for many years the mileage now shows 6,410. Sold with the V5C, two old MOT's mentioned and 4 keys. It will require recommissioning before road use, although it has been running recently.
