Registration No: VNE 413S Frame No: 324201 MOT: ExemptPart of the Horners of Manchester collectionTo include a pair of original Innocenti overallsSupplied with a 125cc kit and a current V5CR W Horners was a long standing family motorcycle and scooter shop based in the Old Trafford area of Manchester, established by Rob Horner in 1926 and eventually passing down to his three sons Ernest, Robert and John who all had all been brought up in the midst of the business. Taking up the Lambreta agency in the early 1950s they eventually became the Northern area distributors, working closely with Peter Agg and Maurice Knight of Lambretta Concessionaires in Croydon. The company was always at the forefront of the scooter boom, attending rallies with parts and accessory vans and participating in scooter sports. Probably best known for Lambrettas, they also sold Vespas in large quantities, offering the same friendly and enthusiastic service. Even though the brothers owned the business, they would always be found wearing pale blue Innocenti or Piaggio overalls and not scared of getting their hands dirty. The shop became something of an institution in the scooter world, even selling a Li150 to Liam Gallagher who was brought up nearby. The sort of scooter shop we all wish was still in business, it has been featured in various magazines and was an important part of scooter history. Electronic copies of various photos documenting the history of Horners can be supplied to the buyer. This Li 150 Special has been part of the Horner family's private collection for the last 25 years. It was first registered in November 1977 and looks to be a Spanish made Serveta model, possibly one of a batch that was re-imported from Canada around that time. Presented in essentially standard trim, it is fitted with a spare wheel carrier and will come together with a period Lintek top box and a kit of parts to convert to 125cc if necessary. Most interestingly, included in the sale is a pair of nicely aged genuine Innocenti pale blue overalls from the 1960s as worn in the shop at the time. Not run for a number of years, it will need recommissioning before use but provides an ideal opportunity to acquire an authentically presented scooter with a good provenance, supplied with a current V5C.

Registration No: BHY 361H Frame No: 22/2/257583 MOT: ExemptOriginal all over including virtually all paintCorrect numbers very close (Engine no. SX200/257622)V5C for immediate use on the roadThe 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/GP200’s were made and less than 1000 were electronic the 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 1970’s. 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 only immediately noticeable difference between the DL and GP was the battery being absent from the DL version, and different front panel badge.Our vendor has informed us of the following: 'This 1970 manufactured DL200 was discovered in Italy by Lambretta guru Nigel Cox in the 1980s, when it was possible to find magnificent Lambrettas in states of such originality more easily than it is today. It was displayed in the Lambretta Museum in Weston Super Mare for many years but never registered in the UK until it left the museum.' Our vendor is only the second registered keeper.It is exceptional. The original ochre paint on every part on this scooter is the original as it came out of the factory with the merest of touch ups. With 6 volt original points equipment with original coil the ignition switch is the original with original keys. The body panels are a superb fit having almost certainly never been removed. The seat is the original Guiliari coffin seat in striking original condition. The cables appear to have never been removed are all fastened with the correct straps and have the correct grease nipple points. The engine nuts are all original. The original KM speedometer is showing respectable 55k KM from which we can surmise the original owner was a very careful rider. The brake adjusters are the original late short versions found on late DL/GPs. The plastic parts are also original black including the petrol flap (which even has the original plastic hinge pin), horncast front and rear frame grill. The keys that are all present for ignition, toolbox and steering lock are the correct originals and not reproductions. All of the badges are the originals as are the stickers. The smallest details that are often overlooked are present and one needs to examine the photographs to see the originality on display here of this rare scooter. There is evidence of minor touching up in a few places on the floor which was done back in the day before our vendor acquired it, but in the context of every panel having such brilliant original paint it is excusable. The forks and stand have been repainted however in the correct silver although it is not known when. We understand that the scooter is in full perfect running order. We invite the discerning collector to the auction to view this with their own eyes. In our opinion this is a very rare opportunity for the most serious collector of Lambrettas.

Registration No: VSK 556 Frame No: 175TV2*220034 MOT: ExemptFrom deceased estate. Priced to sellJay Marriott built. Big specV5 for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV175 series 2 was launched in October 1959. It had an engine based on the Li150 series but with 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 2 Li panels. Often referred to as the ‘tourer’ it had a superb performance coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors.We were able to trace the recent technical history of this scooter. Built by Jay Marriott in the mid to late '60s Mod customisation style in 2012, the engine is a Rapido 225 on a SIL 200 engine with an Amal Mk1 carburettor with a Royspeed manifold. It's 12v ignition but wired into the regulator and then into an original rectifier cover. The piston is an Avanti with barrel tuned by Harry Barlow with a Mark Broadhurst cylinder head and an AF crank. It has an original TV1 BECME ignition switch still with its half-moon spring cover, a 48mm clubman exhaust, Scootopia Ulma rear carrier and an original front mudguard, a chopper-style Sidewinder seat, polished headset and rear light housing. The fog lights appear to be wired-in and airhorns are present. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: 114 XWD Frame No: 288974 MOT: ExemptVery rare model in the UKLargely complete with engine in placeV5C registered in the UK At the end of the 1940s the Vespa did not go unnoticed internationally and a few early VIT examples were imported or trialled by various individuals in several European countries prior to 1950 including France. A group of investors in France led by Prince Marc de Beauva-Craon formed Sarl ACMA (Ateliers de Construction de Motocycles et Accessoires) in May 1950 with the intention of licensing the Vespa from Piaggio. The company was well capitalised and swiftly set up a large factory at Fourchambault near Nevers in a huge defunct aviation factory. The relationship between Piaggio and ACMA was close from the beginning and scores of Italian engineers were sent as advisers during the set up of the license between the two companies. In June 1950 sales of directly imported Vespa versions V13T, V14T and V15T were sold by ACMA and in the latter part of 1950 alone some 1176 Italian units were sold. After these all subsequent scooters were entirely French produced. ACMA was initially a successful enterprise passing the 100,000 units sold mark as early as 1954 and even manufacturing a small car the Vespa 400. Despite all of the early success the company faced a series of setbacks at the end of the 1950s. Declining scooter sales, fierce market competition and other small cars on the market from more established manufacturers forced the business into liquidation and the factory site was purchased by SIMCA in 1961.This example is one of the last ‘handle bar’ ACMA Vespa models produced and is in extremely original condition. Despite appearances, it is relatively complete, missing the rear hub and wheel and a few other minor parts. It comes with a bonus Ardor screen and deluxe rear sprung carrier, which in itself can command a decent price on the accessory market. It is already registered for use on the road in the UK and would make a very worthwhile and attractive conservation project. Elsewhere in this auction you will also have the opportunity to buy a complete and 'verified as working' ACMA engine that would fit straight into this machine.

Registration No: OFO 607 Frame No: VSB1T 033282 MOT: ExemptOriginal throughout including paintFull working mechanical conditionEngine No: VSB1M 033484V5C ready for the roadLaunched in 1962 the GS160 was quite a departure from the earlier 150 version and marked the beginning of the new era of the more powerful and many would say more reliable Vespas. With a larger cylinder and clutch the engine case being altered and with spare wheel mounted on the left side of the body. Almost every internal engine part was changed and a different air box and carburettor were used. This necessitated even wider engine cowls than the 150 and the most pleasing and the widest (yet still rounded) ‘behind’ ever seen on a Vespa. And it helped credibility being the fastest standard Italian scooter on the road for a short period in 1962 before Lambretta could launch their TV200 in 1963 (it was reportedly faster than the TV175). Overall with a fairly blistering performance of 8.9 HP and with rounded design features that hid the spare wheel and internalised the luggage the GS160 is regarded by many as the pinnacle best combination of Vespa performance and style. The Mk2 differed from the Mk1 by using a large inside legshield toolbox.One only needs to study the photographs online to see the extraordinary condition of this original machine. We noted all aspects are original and not limited to seat and cover, lights, ignition, keys, switches, grips, rubbers, wheel rims and electronics which are still 6v points with battery. The engine and chassis are close and correct numbers and the scooter ran very sweetly at the time of consignment. The original Ulma leg shield trim are the correct Inox 207s. The paint looks great, with very few marginal light touch-ups. A more original GS160 in this condition would be very hard to find. V5C present and ready for the road.

Registration No: WXG 156 Frame No: 11227863 MOT: ExemptMultiple show winnerConservation by Maskes Vespa Classics at a cost of over £3000Matching numbersThe first time a Vespa was seen in Great Britain was on the stand of motorcycle manufacturer Douglas at the 1949 Motor Cycle Show. The scooter was discovered in Italy by Douglas Motorcycles 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 ‘Rod’ model was slow to market and featured the same eternal design as the 1949 Italian ‘Bacchetta’ save for the position of the head light. Douglas were that far behind in development terms launching a year late and only producing 300 scooters per month by 1952. The result in todays international collectors market is that British built Douglas Vespas have in recent times emerged with a really special rarity and collectibility status. Only 11,848 Douglas Vespa Rod models were produced from April 1951 and 1954. It is believed only around 100 survive*.Our vendor discovered this scooter on a farm near Stoke on Trent approximately 12 years ago. With original paint and complete, it was only on the road for 3 years last being used in 1955 before being dry barn stored according to the tax disc on it when found. With period accessories and embellishers it has rare parts such as fuel measuring cup and gauze filter. Present are the original hand grips and the extremely rare original black bakelite control switch. Conservation was entrusted to Vespa expert Peter Maske in the Netherlands with instructions not to alter the originality. It now performs perfectly but is completely standard as original. The rear carrier and leg shield trim are also as original. Even the original Pirelli tyre it was discovered with is used as a spare. Registered with V5C with a reissued number it is ready to be enjoyed. A multiple award winner including: Best original Scooter at the Bridlington National Scooter Rally 2016, SLUK top scooter of 2016, Best in show at the VCB Croft circuit annual 2016. It has also been used by the legendary Paddy Smith as the subject of one of his patches for Vespa World Days 2017. Original oil cans and aforementioned trophies are included.It was discovered on a farm near Stoke 12 years ago in a ‘pure’ state, in original paint and complete. It transpired that the scooter was only on the road for 3 years, last being used in 1955, before being ,dry barn, stored according to the tax disc on the scooter when found. With period accessories and embellishers it also has rare parts such as the fuel measuring cup and gauze filter. Also present are the original hand grips and the extremely rare to see original Black Bakelite control switch. The conservation was entrusted to global Vintage Vespa expert Peter Maske in the Netherlands with instructions not to alter the originality at all. The result is that the scooter is now performing perfectly but is completely standard as original. Registered with a V5C on the road with a reissued number it is ready to be enjoyed. The scooter has since won multiple awards at various shows. Supplied with the lot are the original oil cans as seen in the photographs and the aforementioned trophies.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 7811 MOT: ExemptExtremely original and excellent conditionOnly on the road for one yearThe 1,518 miles displayed seems to be correctThe Dayton Cycle Co built motorcycles from 1913 to 1922 then in Shoreditch, London from 1939 after a long gap. In 1955 the company moved production to North Acton, London to add scooter production.In 1955 the company entered the scooter market and introduced the model Albatross. Powered by a 224cc Villiers 1H engine. Other versions were added, fitted with Villiers engines of various capacities up to 250cc. The final model was the Flamenco designed to be more ‘Lambretta’ in appearance but it failed in the market. In 1960 production ceased. Today the Albatross is a highly respected scooter and is often described as the real Rolls Royce of Scooters. At the time it was designed to appeal to more refined scooter buyer and was pitched against the luxury machines produced by German manufacturers Heinkel, Maico and Zundapp. Due to its size, weight and design it sold poorly and production ceased in 1960.This example, in an attractive all Blue Metallic colour scheme, looks to be complete and thoroughly original. It is a later 1957 model, however, the last tax disc is from Portsmouth in 1958. The condition overall is commensurate with this and the mileage at only 1,518 can be considered reliable. This one is a time warp example with the attractive metal dealer plate on the front mudguard of Copes of Hagley Road, Birmingham, and the original and rare to see Dayton Albatross transfers on the bodywork, its condition shouts out 'almost unused' and the seat is in remarkable original condition.Late seller information: The kick start has been found so the scooter is 100% complete. This is the rarer single cylinder 225cc For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: ExemptBelieved Italian builtSolid enoughEngine turnsThe VBA/VBB range of Vespas were the immediate successors to the long running ‘handlebar’ scooters of the 1950’s and had cast handlebars like the GS. The VBA had a completely redesigned body and engine which formed the basis for decades of future Vespas. The engine was a rotary inducted design which improved reliability and fuel consumption whilst requiring 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. The VBB replaced the VBA in 1960 and increased the gears from 3 to 4 whilst also making some aesthetic improvements to the look including an attractively shaped clam shape speedometer, alloy leg shield border and GS style rear light. Today the VBB is an appealing Vespa and an appreciating model. This VBB is believed to be Italian built but due to the speedometer layout it has almost certainly been re-imported from the Far East. It is complete and the engine turns and its still standard on 6v electronics. The chassis number could be made clearer with more work. Offered for sale with no reserve.Late seller information: This scooter is supplied with a large amount of spares and parts. See last photos For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: ExemptPowered by a 1956 Vespa Douglas 92L2 engine Used in an engineering projectUnique oddityOur vendor previously ran a small scooter shop and this unique machine was brought in to him many years ago by an old gentleman. The story, as we understand it, is that this scooter was home-built by a very capable engineer and was used in the building of moorings on the Broads for the Norwich Yacht Club Marina. It was apparently used and kept fastened to a derrick that had been used for pile-driving moorings into the river. We note that the engine is a 1956 Vespa Douglas 125cc motor and the handlebars, wheels and suspension are all probably from the same Vespa. It looks to be a complete vehicle with numerous motorcycle and home-engineered parts and exhaust. Offered at 'no reserve'.

Registration No: KHH 284C Frame No: 150Li054329 MOT: ExemptComplete and in good original conditionExact Matching numbers. Keys presentV5C present for use on the roadsIn 1952 a group of Basque businessmen trading as Lambretta Locomociones SA obtained a licence to build Lambretta scooters in Spain. Production began two years later at a purpose built factory in Eibar. Sales were good and around 1964 the company began to use the name Serveta SA for its own commercial activities. In 1965 The Scooterlinea was presented to the public first in Barcelona then in Madrid. The slender and more aerodynamic body shape followed the Italian series 3 styling albeit some years after in timeline. Some argue that the Spanish built Lambrettas were of a superior quality.Here we present a very original and straight example in full running condition. Still on 6V points and with its original ‘El Tigre’ seat which is in fabulous original condition. Some of the rubbers around the scooter have had to be renewed but only when absolutely necessary according to the vendor, and of course new tyres. The carburettor was ultrasonically cleaned and the engine is absolutely standard and unmodified with its original piston and barrel from new. The engine was however subject to a full de-coke and replacement gaskets and at the time of consignment it has to be said that the engine sounded very good. On further inspection the cables all appear to be original with correct oilers in place. The vendor told us that he had never opened the headset in his ownership because everything worked and he has never had to. The scooter is complimented by original Spanish accessories including front bumper and flat rear spare wheel holder. A very honest scooter in our opinion. Spanish 150 engines are quite sought after nowadays as the wider barrel mouth is suitable to directly accommodate many of the upgrade engine kits including Quattrini kits.

Registration No: BHY 309H Frame No: VNL2T 110118 MOT: ExemptUK registered from new Uprated PX125 engineV5C presentThe GTR continued the earlier GT range with its SS180 type trapezoidal headlight and followed the new style of the Rally with a large round headlight. The body followed the same basic dimensions and attractive shape of the SS180 and Rally, but with a glove box within the side panel.This GTR is in good sound condition with its original floor, as far as we could see, and a number of attractive accessories. We note an Ulma style SNC front bumper, handlebar indicators, and an Ulma style rear rack and there are also side panel bars and accessory stand feet. The engine is a PX125 engine with a Sterling performance exhaust and uprated 12v electronics, which should provide a good reliable and performing machine. We did not see the scooter running at the time of consignment, however, we are told there should be no reason why it would not run.

Registration No: JWE 232C Frame No: TV3/548087 MOT: ExemptPurchased directly from Sir Bradley WigginsVerified by Sir Wiggins on a signed certificateV5C for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV Series 3 range was launched in March 1962 with the 175 model and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 Series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV Series 2 models. The TV series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. The larger engined TV200 quickly followed the TV175 slim style in early 1963 at the specific request of the British importer Lambretta Concessionaires who wanted an even more powerful model to satisfy their customer base.As we understand it Sir Bradley Wiggins bought this scooter after he had sold his previous Lambretta SX200 ‘Fred Perry’ scooter and it was restored at Armandos in Sheffield. It had only 53 miles on it when our vendor bought it from Sir Bradley. Our vendor has enjoyed using it and it now has approximately 3300 miles on the clock. He tells us it is running perfectly well but he has injured his back and can no longer use it as he wants to. We understand it is standard as a TV200.

Registration No: NOU 77R Frame No: VMA1T 0144526 MOT: ExemptLong term VVC club member's scooterOriginal parts retained throughoutIn running conditionOffered with V5CThe first version of the Vespa Primavera was unveiled at the 1967 Milan motorcycle show and proved revolutionary: small, agile and propelled by a perky engine the Primavera remained in continuous production until 1982. It became a legendary model and also one of the most spectacular commercial successes in Vespa's history. The Primavera incorporated and combined a number of unique characteristics that had featured on other Vespa models. With previous sport models in mind like the GS, a small body like the Vespa 50 introduced in 1963 and the racing SS90, the Primavera was a fresh new model that particularly appealed to the younger rider. An elegant and quick scooter with extraordinary handling that only one who has ridden one can relate to. The standard Primavera remained in production for 15 years. This nice example has been owned by our vendor for 5 years and he had never started it. He bought it from VVC club member L. Hale who had acquired it, we understand, from the late Vespa expert Bill Drake. It was ridden at Euro Vespa 1994 in Girona, Spain. The last tax disc is 2008, with the original speedometer reading c.12,469 miles. There are many original parts all over the machine as it is still a standard 125 with original Dellorto carburettor and still 6v on original electronics. A new steering lock and key are supplied with the scooter. Despite the fact that the owner had never previously tried to start it our consultant was able to see the scooter running.

Registration No: 975 EAE Frame No: VS2T 23023 MOT: ExemptFully restored with high specification quality upgradesRare scooter with V5CEngine No: VS2M 17805Exceptional attention to detailCommissioned by Vespa expert James McCabe to be his superior riderThe GS (Gran Sport) was the culmination of all of the speed racers and trial versions of Vespa that had gone before including the famous ‘Sei Giorni’ factory racers. It was the first mass produced sport Vespa to enter the market. The main VS1 production started at the beginning of 1955 and the ‘Vespone’ or big wasp was a tremendous overall success. A great many of the features experimented on the Sei Giorni racers transitioned to the GS. Larger 10 inch ‘star’ wheels, 4 gears in a 150cc 8 HP engine and a new body design with the machine presented in silver. The VS2 followed in 1956 with very few technical changes save the hidden cables and white speedometer. The leg shield was protected with a chrome trim. The GS (Gran Sport) was the culmination of all of the speed racers and trial versions of Vespa that had gone before. This VS2 has been treated to a sumptuous combination of original appearance with bold ‘no expense spared’ upgrades to create an astonishing riding machine. The paint was entrusted to leading experts The London Body Shop to an exacting colour spec and the paint is still in superb condition. The engine No: VS2M 17805 was subject to a thorough overall by Retrospective Scooters with AF Rayspeed top end and an upgraded crank. The carburettor is the original with balanced up-jetted fuel inflow. The suspension is an adjustable SIP shock and the exhaust is also a SIP road version. The fuel tank is a high capacity VS1 version accessory. The electronics are uprated to 12v variatronic ignition spec. The speedometer was sent off to global speedometer specialist Speed King in the US to be refurbished and returned as MPH. On close inspection the attention to detail is highly impressive from the floor running end caps to the cabling. The scooter is finished off with a number of choice original accessories including original Ulma wheel discs, original Cavalli GS150 rack and fork cover. The V5C is present.

Registration No: MGR 24GFrame No: V9SS1T1714MOT: ExemptKnown history from newSold new by Angelos Scooter station of Newcastle upon Tyne on 30th May 1969Fully running on original engineA copy of old blue V5 and current V5C presentThe Vespa SS90 made between 1965 and 1971 is much sought after by collectors due to its extreme rarity with just over 5000 produced. Most of these have been lost to the ravages of time and through overly ambitious riders. The SS90 was developed as a sporting variant of the small frame Vespas. With a dummy fuel tank, a centrally located spare wheel, narrower more aerodynamic fairing and a pad on top of the dummy tank riders could crouch low behind the headlight to reduce drag at higher speeds. The two-stroke 88.5cc engine used in the Super Sprint is 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 77kg, and the top speed is 93kmh (58mph).This SS90 has an exceptional and detailed traceable history kindly supplied to us by the vendor. This particular scooter was a gift to the vendor from his grandfather Angelo Strocco in 1981. Angelo was an Italian national and the owner of the renowned Angelos Scooter Station in Newcastle Upon Tyne, established in the early 1960s. Angelo had legendary status as a scooter expert and sold the business to Mo-Tech when he retired, at the age of 70, in 1984. Mo-Tech continues to trade from the same location in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. This 90SS scooter was supplied by Angelo's Scooter Station on 30th May 1969 to a customer that had purchased every Vespa model from Angelos' Scooter Station through the 1960s and early 1970s. Angelo purchased the scooter back from that customer in August 1981 as a gift for our vendor, who was 11 years old at the time, so the scooter remained registered to Angelo's Scooter Station. The scooter has remained in the same family ever since. We show a picture taken outside of Angelo's Scooter Station shortly after it was purchased back in 1981. When Angelo's Scooter Station was sold to Mo-Tech in 1984, the scooter was registered in the name of Angelo Strocco at his home address in Blaydon-on-Tyne. When Angelo sadly died in 2008 at the age of 94, the scooter was re-registered in the name of our vendor. Scanned copies of several MOT certificates, all of which were issued by Angelo's Scooter Station and signed by the vendor's grandfather, are attached. A photograph of a series of tax discs is also attached. All of the original tax discs shown in the photograph are located in the tax disc holder which is mounted to the scooter.When the scooter was purchased in 1981, it displayed 898 miles. The current speedometer reading is 1,481 miles with those 583 miles taking place between 1981 and 1986 when the seller and his grandfather had many outings together, some of which involved the seller, who was a child at the time, driving the scooter around a large grass field! Since the mid 1980s, the scooter has been stored in a dry cellar under the house hence the dust and cobwebs on it which the seller has been instructed not to remove! Despite standing for around 40 years, the scooter is running and the engine sounds superb (see video attached). A local scooter enthusiast who recently helped the vendor to get it running again was surprised at the quality of the chassis and engine.
Registration No: YTA 871E Frame No: SX150*761854 MOT: ExemptOriginal paint and standard throughout Rebuilt engine (SX150 757514) mechanically excellentGenuine ‘Mela Verde’ (Apple Green) SX150V5 for use on UK roadsThe SX150 first appeared in October 1966 and replaced the 150 Special which had debuted at Milan in 1963. The tuned engine and close-ratio gearbox made for a faster 95kmh machine with much-improved acceleration and was a superb all round scooter. The SX150 engine used a 20mm carburettor and used 2 cylinder head gaskets resulting in a slight increase in power to 9.38hp but with a similar maximum speed to the preceding Special. The SX was presented in new colours and had a chrome strip on the front mudguard. The panels all had the three flashes and a large X150 over the special badge on the front of the leg shield. The rear frame badge reads Lambretta Innocenti on most models and the late models had a rectangular front horn cast badge. Earlier models had a metal tool box and side panel handles while the later SX150s had plastic DL style version tool boxes and clip on panels. In three years of production there were 31,238 produced and production of the SX150 ceased in January 1969.Here we present a rare original ’Mela Verde’ (Apple Green) purchased from Gran Sport of Birmingham 2014, 11 years ago. All numbers are correct and it appears as though original parts have been retained, noticeably, except a new exhaust. The seat is an SX200 original Red Giuliari type and perhaps needing only a minor repair to the original cover. We are informed the scooter rides superbly, with the only flaw being that the original ignition key broke in the ignition and is still in there, although not affecting is use. Genuine Mela Verde SX150s are very rare to see. Many standard SX150s have been repainted in this colour but of course are not the real thing.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: ExemptFamous as the London ‘Scooter Caffe’ PiattiVery original and almost completeRare to see a Piatt on the marketThe Piatti scooter was designed by London based Italian engineer Vincenzo Piatti and first appeared at the Brussells Salon in 1952. In the UK, Cyclemaster, already famous for its engines to attach to bicycles took up the design and began production in 1956, contemporary adverts claiming the scooter to have 'the heart of a young lion and light as a feather' as well as being 'the scooter for tomorrow'. The design had a few unique features such as the adjustable seat and handlebar height as well as its distinctive cigar shape with a toolbox cleverly concealed in the seat base. This example is famous among tourists visiting London and scooter enthusiasts as it was the window display of the hip ‘Scooter Caffe’ in Lower Marsh, Waterloo. The cafe is still open and continues to display vintage and quirky objects to discerning coffee enthusiasts. I once met the proprieter and he flatly refused to sell it stating that he’d been asked thousands of times the same question. Our vendor must have somehow changed his mind! The registration number 631 ABB is still on the DVLA system and in our opinion could be regained with assistance. A landmark historic machine and what a Jetson design!Late information from the seller: A large folder of history and information has been found and will be supplied with the scooter. Together with the tax disc this should be sufficient to get this registered with its orignal number. Extra images are provided of this at the last of the photos. Also found is the original wind screen. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: 282 XUH Frame No: 175TV3*510951 MOT: ExemptBeautifully restored in correct coloursStandard engineV5C for use on UK roadsPLEASE NOTE: The registration number in the printed catalogue is incorrect.The Lambretta TV175 series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV series 2 models. The TV series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. This very well restored example has been stored in centrally heated room and is part of a very discerning persons collection. He has however decided to sell all of his scooters for personal reasons at prices to sell and this represents an opportunity for a new owner. Our vendor only buys the best and keeps his scooters in top condition while seldom using them. This TV175 has recently had a new clutch and is all running perfectly we are told as can be see by the accompanying video taken below. It is totally standard except for the conversion to 12v ignition. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: KFL 235G Frame No: 22/2*253510 MOT: ExemptRetains much originality In perfect running condition at time of consignment Correct numbers and only 28 apartRecent perfectionist service by The Magic GarageThe DL200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters that rolled-off Innocenti’s production line in Milan. Produced from January 1969 until April 1971 a total of only 9,350 DL200s were made. The DL200 (GP200 in the UK) followed the SX200 and retained the engine prefix of SX200 before the serial number. There were significant improvements to the engine over the SX including: improved crankshaft, a complete overhaul of the gearbox ratios and improved Ducati ignition. The iconic bodywork followed the trends of the day of the early 1970s. The Nuccio Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors with a new 22/2 frame and rectangular headlight. Only a genuine Italian DL had the famous 'ink splat' on the front of the sleek leg-shield. In Italy the DL200 was only available in the fashionable Ochre colour scheme.In our opinion this is an extremely fine example in exceptionally good condition. Imported from Italy in 2004, it was acquired from Jason, the senior mechanic at Cambridge Lambretta having been his own private scooter. Appearing to retain original paint under the panels and on the frame loop itself, which fit superbly and appear to have been painted to blend with the original frame paint. There are many original parts including the original KMH speedometer which has been re-calibrated to MPH with a replacement face. The original SILME seat is present with a deceptively original-looking cover, the badges and lights all over the scooter appear as original, as is the grey tool box and keys. The engine is still 200cc with a Mugello Mk1 top end, a 30mm Dellorto carburettor, Ancillotto Clubman exhaust and 12v electronics. Our vendor, a scooter perfectionist himself, recently entrusted true perfectionist, Simon Neale at The Magic Garage, to thoroughly go over the entire machine at a cost of £1,342 and the resultant invoice for a myriad of improvements is included with the lot.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: Not visible MOT: ExemptLuxuriously equipped cruiserVery unusual historical lotBelieved the only one of two examples in the UKThe Tula motor scooter debuted in 1957 as the T200, a 197cc 2 stroke air-cooled machine with electric starter curiously similar to the contemporary Goggo-Isaria German-built scooter. The carburettor even had a tickler and required a 4 per cent oil/petrol mix. The engine and body had very similar performance and appearance generating 8HP and it could hit 86 km/h. The long production of the T200 ceased when it was replaced by the less than imaginatively named ‘Tourist’ in 1973. The new version was similar to its predecessor and could now generate 10HP. Featuring revised styling on the tubular chassis, the Tourist is a curious mix of old technology with luxury features. The whole rear end lifts up for easy engine access. Impressive features are the easy electric dyno start, indicators, outside headlight adjuster and smooth ride from the twin suspension front and rear. With luggage compartment on the front and comfortable seat and 4 gears the Tula Tourist even went capitalist in the 1970s being exported to other Eastern bloc countries. This Tula Tourist is complete but was not seen running. Engine No: 0B 653701. Our consultant can possibly advise the buyer of another owner of one of these present in the UK.

Registration No: AVG 525D Frame No: SX200 842592 MOT: ExemptIncludes original Italian first logbook and purchase documentCompletely standard on 6v pointsCorrect numbers (Engine SX200 842848)Superbly presentedV5C for use on the roadMany 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 which 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 that 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 superb example was first registered in 1966 and sold to Teresa Michielin a resident of Alessandria who was born in Montebelluno, Treviso in 1906. She would have been 60 when she bought it! All of this information is contained in the original history file of original Italian Ministry of transport logbook, Foggio Complentare and certificate from the Automobile Club d’Italia. The logbook shows tax stamps up until 1977. During that time the original speedometer ran up 22,749km. The original speedometer was cleaned and reused in the restoration some 10 years ago. The scooter was restored in Italy to a high standard as can be seen in the accompanying photographs. The reason we know all of this? It is being sold by our own scooter consultant Paul Diamond from his own collection. He bought it fresh from its restoration and it has never been used since. It has been a display model for accessories in his house for all of that time.Still absolutely standard on a 6v points system with unmodified but rebuilt 200cc engine, it is extremely clean. Looking at the detail, there is a high level of attention paid to the assembly with fastenings, cables, rubbers and wiring all looking very neat. The numbers are absolutely correct as is the specification all around the scooter. The correct original SH1/20 carburettor and standard exhaust complete the motor. The original Giuliari seat has a quality seat cover. The coil is a non-standard but reliable alternative that was commonly used. We did not try and start the scooter as it has not been used in some time. Probably a careful service would be required. It is UK registered of course, and number plates are supplied, but the original Italian plate has been kept on the scooter for authentic show posterity.

Registration No: PXS 910 Frame No: T1POB 41577 MOT: ExemptExtremely originalCorrect numbersV5C registered for the roadThe Lambretta Model B was first introduced in 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 1950 example is at the end of the production run of the Model B, in original paint and with a deep and attractive patina. The scooter was imported directly from Italy in 2022. The engine is free and turning. It comes with a number of spare parts including the original floor runners and end caps. The extra parts required are supplied on a short list and can almost all be sourced from Casa Lambretta.

Registration No: YYA 869 Frame No: 7521 MOT: ExemptRestored conditionRunning scooter in attractive black colour schemeV5C ready for the roadThe Dayton Cycle Co built motorcycles from 1913 to 1922 then in Shoreditch, London from 1939. In 1955 the company moved production to North Acton, to add scooter production. In 1955 they entered the scooter market and introduced the Albatross, powered by a 224cc Villiers 1H engine. Other versions were added, fitted with Villiers engines of various capacities up to 250cc. The final model was the Flamenco designed to be more ‘Lambretta’ in appearance but it failed in the market. In 1960 production ceased. Today the Albatross is a highly respected scooter and is often described as the real Rolls Royce of Scooters. At the time it was designed to appeal to a more refined scooter buyer and pitched against luxury machines produced by German manufacturers Heinkel, Maico and Zundapp. Due to its size, weight and design it sold poorly and production ceased in 1960. This example in an attractive all black colour scheme is complete with the key.Late information on this scooter from the client: new wiring loom/brake shoes/tyres/seat and all the brackets/original number plate with docs.. runs and engine built properly. Also new pics are now up online of the registration in the Somerset archives and a receipt of the purchase price paid in 2014 of £3250. Further to previous information the key has now been found.

Registration No: TDC 669H Frame No: V9SS1T 3165 MOT: ExemptAn unrepeatable opportunity to acquire an exceptional SS90Fully running on the original engine (Engine No: V9SS1M 3084)Correct close numbers V5C presentBy the early 1960’s Vespa Douglas in Great Britain were importing Italian built Vespas as opposed to continuing to manufacture them. 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. Most of these have been lost to the ravages of time and overly ambitious riders. The SS90 was developed as a sporting variant of the small frame Vespas. With a dummy fuel tank, a centrally located spare wheel, narrower more aerodynamic fairing and a pad on top of the dummy tank riders could crouch low behind the headlight to reduce drag at higher speeds. The two-stroke 88.5cc engine used in the Super Sprint is 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 93kmh (58mph).This SS90 is in exceptional condition being almost all original paint. The headset paint has been expertly blended to retain a remarkable patina throughout by paint expert Nathan Warriner, to match the panels. Registered as 1970 but declared manufactured in 1966, original parts have been retained throughout, including the original seat with the cover in superb original condition. All over the scooter the parts appear original, including grips, rubbers, speedometer, Neimann key, scroll badges and electronics. Still on the original 6v the engine, the carburettor and all mechanical parts are original, standard and in full working order. With a V5C present, this is a rare opportunity.

Registration No: GNH 334B Frame No: V13502C104202 MOT: ExemptUnique VespaGood clear and correct numbersV5C present for use on UK roads Motovespa of 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 throughout the models production life.The Motovespa 150S was a unique combination of Italian GS body styling but with a different forks and headset than the Italian models. Later versions such as this had the trapezoidal SS180 type headlight which make it absolutely unique in style. The Motovespa was a fine looking scooter in its own right. This example, with its original engine in situ, was recently imported and comes complete with V5C already registered for use on UK roads.

Registration No: YND 372X Frame No: SX200 561158 MOT: ExemptComplete and in original conditionMechanically conserved by Retrospective at a cost of over £3000Correct Matching numbers. All original keys presentV5C ready for the roadIn 1952 a group of Basque businessmen trading as Lambretta Locomociones SA obtained a licence to build Lambretta scooters in Spain. Production began two years later at a purpose built factory in Eibar. Sales were good and around 1964 the company began to use the name Serveta SA for its own commercial activities. In 1982 the company changed its name to Lambretta SAL following a change of ownership. Servetas were initially only produced for the Spanish domestic market. However by 1970 Spanish built machines were being sold in the UK by Lambretta Concessionaires alongside their Innocenti equivalents as Italian supply was known to be stopping. By the end of the decade Serveta scooters were being sold in the United States and the UK under their own name. Production finally ceased in 1989.The Jet 200 was produced from 1971 and utilised an SX200 engine using the same top-end configuration as the Italian version with a Spanish made Dellorto SH20 carburettor. A slightly larger fuel tank gave longer range.The body styling was based around the Italian Li ‘Scooterlinea’ but with SX style hexagonal head set. The biggest body change was the airbox being diverted as air flow through grills in the underseat tool box which was separated by a divider in the tool box door. The accessory leg shield box more than made up for the storage space. The rear light set up was unconventional but allowed a single design to cope with all export markets. This Jet 200 is in full running condition as confirmed by our consultant who was able to ride the scooter at time of consignment and as can be seen by the running video below. It has had a full mechanical overhaul by Retrospective Scooters. The electrics are 12v, the wheels are tubeless rimmed and the seat has a new cover. However apart from that it is absolutely original as standard including paint and keys with no visible touch-ups and rare to find in this condition.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: V462 12T*139403 MOT: ExemptOnly some 10 miles since restorationBought for our vendor's daughter who never used itElectric startHas a NOVA number and a dating certificate for registration purposesBajaj Auto, established in 1945, began importing Vespas directly from Italy into India from the mid 1950s. In the 1960s Bajaj obtained permission from Piaggio to build Vespas under license. In 1971 when the Piaggio license was not renewed Bajaj launched its own Vespa 150. Based on the 1960s Italian design similar to the VBB. After a fresh restoration this example was purchased in 2019 by our vendor's daughter (she liked the 'Porsche' livery), alas, she never rode it. In readiness, it was MOT’d and acquired a NOVA number, however, it was soon forgotten in a dry garage until now. With 12v electronics, 10-inch wheels and a brand new LML 125cc engine (we understand only some 10 miles from new ) which is started by an electric starter this may well suit a rider who prefers not to have to use a kick-start. The paint is in exceptionally good condition and we were able to see the electric starter functioning. The scooter, however, will need a light service as it has been stationary since 2019. Registration as a 125 'learner legal' scooter should be a formality with its accompanying new Dating Certificate.

Registration No: AJW 948H Frame No: 22/0/204855 MOT: ExemptOffered at 'no reserve'With GP200 engine and Wahl Phillips fuel injectorAmateur racer of an early 1970s-styleExtremely original With V5C registered for the roadThe GP150 followed the SX range and retained the engine SX engine prefix before the serial number. They were produced from January 1969 until April 1971. There were significant improvements to the engine over the SX, including: improved crankshaft, a complete overhaul of the gearbox ratios and improved Ducati ignition. The iconic bodywork followed the trends of the early 1970s. The Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors with a new frame and rectangular headlight. This GP is a genuine barn find having just been pulled out of a farm building. It belonged to the vendor's mother's godfather who passed away some 15 years ago. The tax disc with the scooter shows it could have last seen the road in 1978. It is evident that the scooter was used as an amateur performance machine sporting a genuine GP200 engine and coming with a large number of interesting parts including a Wahl Phillips fuel injector and a curious exhaust system. The scooter has never been converted to 12v and is still on 6v, all the original badges present, original Silme seat and much more and has, in our opinion, superb potential to be revitalised into something special.

Registration No: KYC 12D Frame No: VSC1T 0017446 MOT: ExemptBritish registered from new with a Somerset registrationStill 6v on standard engine original parts throughoutAppears completely standard including paintCorrect numbers (Engine No: VSC1M 0017192)V5 present for use on UK roads The Vespa SS180 introduced in 1964 was at the time the fastest production model Piaggio had ever made. Superseding the GS160 Mk2 it was initially going to be designated the GS Mk3 as Vespa archives state. It retained the large tool box on the inside of the leg shield from the GS160 Mk2 and with 10 inch wheels and 4 gears its 181cc motor produced 10HP and gave a top speed of 65MPH. It was the last Vespa model with a piston ported engine. The most noticeable feature is the trapezoidal headlight which it shared with smaller sister models the GL150 and 125. Around 35700 were produced between 1964 and 1968 and today these are highly sought after as fast and elegant and seen as the height of '60s modernist style. This genuine Italian SS180 was discovered in a deceased estate collection around 2010 which became known as the ‘Quantocks Collection’ being discovered in a cottage with other original Vespas just north of Taunton in Somerset. It must have been stored well as the condition is extremely good. Since then, it was cleaned and treated to a fuel service at Disco Dez Scooters and was discovered to be running perfectly. The original seat is in remarkable original condition with its original cover. It benefits from an original replacement SS180 speedometer as the previous one was broken. In our opinion, the Red paint is probably original with the Black feature paint having been added, possibly by a dealer back in the day. The exhaust is an original SITO period accessory. We were able to see the scooter running at the time of consignment. The V5C is present. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: 3191 PE Frame No: 527255 MOT: ExemptRegistered new on November 8th 1963 in Carshalton, SurreyFull documented ownership historyBuff logbook and large history fileTransferable registration numberVery high quality restoration and arguably the best standard restored GT200 you will findV5C for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV175 series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV series 2 models. The TV series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. The larger engined TV200 quickly followed the TV175 slim style in early 1963 at the specific request of the British importer Lambretta Concessionaires who wanted an even more powerful model than the TV175 to satisfy their customer base. Genuine TV200 Lambrettas were instantly recognised as the GT200 to differentiate them from the TV175 models.This beautifully restored example of a genuine GT200 was sold new by Surrey Scooters and has always been in Surrey ownership. Sold new to a Thomas Dawson on November 8th 1963 it was then sold to a David Stagg in 1968 before being sold to legendary Lambretta guru Chuck Swonnell whose name appears on the original buff log book. Chuck owned the scooter for approximately 40 years before leaving it in his will to his friend Vic Dickens who in turn sold the scooter to our vendor just over a year ago.The striking aspect of this GT200 is the sheer quality of the restoration and the fastidious attention to detail. The vendor is a collector of Rimini Lambretta restorations and that is the bar that this scooter has been matched to with an eye for detail to the standard of his other scooters. On close inspection there is beautiful detailed attention to every component and nut and bolt. The panels all fit and line up perfectly and the 2 pack paint standard is astonishing. The chromed parts were electroplated by S&T Bristol. All over the scooter the original parts were reused. NOS Carello headlight and NOS CEV rear light fitted. Wherever the original could not be reused only high quality Casa or Scootopia parts were used, save the Pegasus seat which is the very high quality Scooter Centre version. All keys fit and work perfectly. The side panels used are the later version with flashes as that was the preference of the vendor however the original earlier style panels are supplied with the scooter. The engine has been fully rebuilt and tuned as a standard TV200 by John Balcome of JB tuning to be as perfect as it could be. Our consultant was able to ride this GT and it rode as a brand new scooter, smooth and powerful.A GT200 with the first buff logbook is a rare find in itself. To have the whole history from new is even rarer and a restoration of this magnitude and quality costs many many thousands of pounds. This wonderful scooter represents an extremely good investment and is one of the best GT200s we have ever seen. This scooter was sold to the vendor at the H and H Vintage Scooter auction in December 2022 for the price of £20,930 including fees. However, a change in circumstances means the vendor has decided to sell all of his scooters. This opens up an opportunity for a new custodian of this special scooter as the reserve has been set to sell.There is a V5C present for use on UK roads.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 01630002 MOT: ExemptExtremely original with one reported owner from newVery rare to find a 42L2 like this Last on the road in 1977 confirmed by tax discDouglas Vespas have in recent times emerged with a special rarity and collectability status. The 42L2 although still a ‘handlebar’ Vespa was a new design and a departure from the previous Douglas Vespa models; The Rod model, and Model G and GL2 which had the headlight precariously perched on the front of the leg shield. The many changes on the new ‘world scooter’ design saw a new headlamp layout on the handlebars with a speedometer incorporated and the control switch and various engine improvements were introduced throughout. These brought the British Vespas up to a parity with the then other ‘world scooters’, the Italian ‘Struzzo’ and French ACMA V56 amongst others. The British Douglas scooters were however painted in different and unique colours from the rest of the world. The 42L2 much rarer with its shorter fuel tank than the 92L2 was uniquely sold with a bench seat as standard.We present here a magnificent 42L2 in totally original and correct condition. Discovered in a probate house clearance it was purchased from the daughter of a lady who had used it up until she had a spill in 1977 which was when it was last on the road, although with the speedometer mileage at 19,133 miles she was certainly used well. Stored in a dry garage since, we note the original dealer motif is present from Moss Ltd of Cambridge. This originality is rare to see. The original bench seat cover is in remarkably good condition. Solid and showing no signs of repair, the running in transfer is still visible. The original Lucas electrical equipment lights and lenses including battery are all present. We note that all over the machine it is exactly how it came out of the factory save some wash paint over the side panels which will almost certainly be easily be removed. Engine number matches the chassis and the originality stretches to the original D Douglas hand grips and even the original Pirelli tyres. It's understood the number 'RCE 88' could be retained with the aid of a dating certificate from the VVC of which one is included.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 150LiS 219371 MOT: ExemptFrom a deceased estate. Priced to sellGood chassis number12v and straight project to finishThe ‘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.This Special is complete save for the tool box hinge and lock. The panels appear to be super straight all over and there are many obvious original parts including Dellorto SH1/18 carburettor. The engine is free and had been painted so we were unable to decipher the numbers. There are no documents with the scooter. It is from a diseased estate and is priced to sell.
