ORIGINAL JOY DIVISION WALTHAMSTOW POSTER BY DAVID PILS. Frame measures approx 31 x 41cm. Some light creasing to image."This poster is usually credited to Barney. But it was designed by our friend and soon to become roadie Dave Pils. Dave was also very impressed by Nazi imagery and a bit obsessed with the war. He had asked us to do a gig in Walthamstow so his band SX (named after a Lambretta scooter) could support us, he was also a mod. He came up with the idea for the poster and I must admit when I saw it I was mortified. Secretly I liked it and still do. This was taken off the wall at the gig which was a weird affair with an audience mainly made up of young kids running around ignoring us? Only 3 were made, two survive!"

1967 Velocette LE200, Mk III, 192 cc. Registration number LRH 914F (not registered with DVLA). Frame number 8549/34. Engine number 8549/3. Velocette's LE (little engine), affectionately known as 'The Policeman's Friend' because of its adoption by over 50 police forces, was announced in October 1948, the police riders became known as "Noddies" because they were required to nod to senior officers, and the LE was nicknamed "the Noddy Bike". It was acclaimed world-wide for its quietness in running, its enveloping 'coachwork', comfort and safety. Early models were powered by a 149cc engine; however in 1951 capacity was increased to 192cc for the Model LE 200. Advanced technical features included a water-cooled, twin-cylinder, horizontally-opposed engine, shaft final drive and pressed steel, box-section frame with readily adjustable rear springing. The LE was revolutionary but expensive to produce. In 1952 it was priced at £173 and offered a maximum speed of 55mph. It remained in production until 1971, having struggled against, but seen off, competition from the motor scooter during its long production run. In 1958, Velocette launched the Mk III LE with a foot operated gear change and a conventional kick start. An extra gear was added, together with 18-inch-diameter wheels. The instrumentation was relocated to the head lamp, and the petrol capacity was increased from a meagre 1.25 to 1.62 imperial gallons With ten years' development, the Velocette LE was more reliable and practical, but on 3 February 1971, the company went into voluntary liquidation. The very last motorcycles made in the Veloce factory were LEs. Production of other motorcycles had been delayed or cancelled to produce the LE in various forms, and the lucrative police orders had dried up with the introduction of the "panda car" for patrol use by most forces. LRH 914F was purchased by the Hull City Engineer on the 9th August 1967, probably from Jordans of Hull, not for Police work, (they had bought theirs from Jordans in 29th May 1963, as a batch interesting with number 900 -916 FKH before being sold on in 1969). This example was used to tour the streets of Hull checking for faulty street lights. In October 1972 it was sold on by the council, by public auction to William Pickard of Cottingham who many years later passed in to our vendor. At this time it was MOT'd at 20,472 miles, today it is at 20,922 and unrestored. Sold with the V.E.60, a 1973 tax disc and the 1972 MOT.

1957 BSA Dandy 70 cc. Registration number XRH 410 (see text). Frame number DS 125290. Engine number 12187. The Dandy was very well received at its launch in 1955. Combining styles of scooter and moped, the motorcycle press considered it to be ahead of its time. British manufacturers had been forced into the scooter market by the Italians. The success of Vespa and Lambretta had created an enormous market for scooters, which, by the mid-fifties, seriously affected sales of motorcycles. Worse for motorcycle manufacturers was the fact that scooters were so much more popular with young people, women and first-timers. Whereas the entire British motorcycle industry had been founded on principles of masculinity, self-sufficiency and amateur mechanics. It was nothing less than a major culture clash. The Dandy was revolutionary in its design. It should have been in pole position defending the Realm against so many imported two-wheelers. Unfortunately, despite some success at its launch, it was soon apparent that the Dandy had been dumped on the public without sufficient road-testing. It suffered from gearbox problems, and became a typical example of British industry's inability to match foreign competition in the new 1950's lightweight motorcycle/ scooter/ moped market. The British lost the battle, first to the Italians (scooters), the Germans (mopeds) and soon to the Japanese (everything else). Production ceased in 1962. This example was first registered by Jordan's of Hull on the 26th November 1957 before being sold to Bernard Cuthbert of Partrington in the March of 1958; he sold it on to Charles Ducker of Cottingham in March 1959. Our vendor acquired it in 1990 as a box of bits and reassembled it. He applied to DVLC for the registration number but was turned down and never took the matter further. His son rode it for a while before it was parked up. This unusual machine, with wonderful patina, has never been restored and will require recommissioning before new discussions with DVLA. Sold with the R.F.60,V55/5 dated 01/07/90 and DVLA letter of 22/06/90.
