Lot 308
Registration : WAS 993 Chassis Number : 221542 Engine Number : 227067 Odometer reading : 3,588 miles Estimate : £2,500 - £4,000 The well established 125cc Lambretta LD 125 was joined by a 150cc bigger brother in October 1954. New features included the chrome silencer, often known as the 'coffee pot', damped front suspension to aid rider comfort and a twin 'push and pull' cable operated gear change, in place of the single Teleflex cable of the 125. Top speed was quoted as 55mph yet manufacturer, Innocenti, still claimed fuel consumption to be 140mpg, identical to that of the 125. The LD 150 was very popular and outsold its smaller brother. The so -called Mk. II LD 150 (there was no Mk. 1, as the 150 only appeared when the LD 125 was in Mk. II form) featured an inside leg shield toolbox which also housed the speedometer and the now very are option of one other additional gauge, usually a clock. Colour choices were green, grey, beige and red. There was also an electric start version, called the LDA 150. The Mk. III version launched in January 1957 featured an epicyclical kick starter and the speedometer was now mounted in a purpose built housing which also included the horn and mounted on top of the handle bars. The rear of the scooter gained a more streamlined look, with a cast rear light unit bolted onto it and the toolbox door now behind the rear seat. A new air taken to the rear of the frame through a rubber hose helped reduce induction noise, as well as allowing the engine to rev more freely. Colour choice was now green, grey, beige, off-white or blue with contrasting side panels in blue, maroon, red or green. In the UK the Lambretta concessionaires produced a variant called the Riviera. This model came as standard with a whole host of extras, namely front windshield, rear carrier with spare wheel, heel plates and extension boards. It was thought this model was produced to help make way for the incoming Li series and if true, the marketing strategy, although successful at the time, had the unintended consequence of the Lambretta concessionaries having no scooters left to sell whilst waiting for the new model. With no Lambrettas forthcoming from Italy, French built LDs were imported as a stop gap to help fulfill outstanding orders. The 1957 LD 150 offered today has been UK registered from new. The vendor purchased it approximately thirty years ago as non-runner and without any paperwork. It has been renovated both mechanically and cosmetically over a number of years to achieve what the vendor describes as the current very good, usable condition. We are informed that it goes extremely well, being in the vendor's opinion one of the best LDs he has ridden. This Lambretta is an older restoration with a pleasant patina and comes with V5 registration document, an old MoT test certificate, various bills , an original toolkit and three Lambretta handbooks. Interested parties should note the registration plate is an age related number since, as mentioned above, all paperwork was lost following a very lengthy period off the road, prior to the vendor's ownership. The LD 150 is regarded as the most desirable and usable of the shaft driven Lambrettas. This highly collectable example is offered at a most attractive estimate.

Registration : YVL 573 Chassis Number : V31T 186531 Engine Number : V32M 186820 Estimate : £8,000 - £9,500 The Piaggio company was founded in 1884 by Rinaldo Piaggio to build luxury ships, later diversifying into the manufacture of railway carriages, motor cars and aeroplanes. At the end of World War II, with its Pontedera fighter plane plant destroyed by Allied bombing, the Piaggio company decided to leave the aeronautical field and address instead Italy's urgent need for a modern and affordable mode of transport for the masses. The inspiration for the new design came from the pre-war American Cushman scooter which had been used in large numbers as field transport for the US Paratroops and Marines in Europe during World War II. The prototype for the new scooter was designed by Renzo Spolti and Vittorio Casani in 1944 and featured bodywork fully enclosing the drivetrain and also forming a tall splash guard at the front. Additional features included handlebar mounted controls, forced air cooling, small diameter pressed steel wheels and a tall central section that had to be straddled. The prototype, officially called the MP5 was nicknamed 'Paparino' or 'duckling' in Italian. Displeased with the MP5, company head Enrico Piaggio commissioned aeronautical engineer Corradino D'Ascanio to redesign the scooter. The resultant MP6 prototype had its engine mounted beside the rear wheel and the drive was taken directly from the transmission, eliminating the need for a drive chain and the oil, dirt and wear associated with it. These changes importantly allowed the MP6 to have a step-through design without a centre section. Other notable features included a single sided front suspension, interchangeable wheels on stub axles and a spare wheel. Upon seeing the MP6 for the first time, Enrico Piaggio: "Sembra una vespa!" ("It resembles a wasp!"). The name was adopted and the famous marque was born. In 1946 Piaggio took out a patent on the design which allowed a series of features to be deployed on the spar-frame that would later allow the quick development of new models. The original Vespa featured a separate pillion seat for a passenger or the option of a storage compartment, a horizontally mounted 98cc two-stroke engine with three speed transmission controlled by a series of rods connected to a twistgrip and no rear suspension. The early engine initially had no forced-air cooling but fan blades were soon added to the magneto-flywheel to push air over the engine. The press launch of the Vespa was at Rome Golf Club and, athough journalists were initially sceptical of the appearance of the strange, toy-like vehicle, subsequent road tests praised the design as being more manoeuvrable and comfortable to ride than a conventional motorcycle. The new scooter's public debut was at the 1946 Milan Fair and although sales at first were slow, with 2,500 units sold in 1947, the introduction of payment by instalments caused sales to take off and they increased to 10,000 in 1948 with the introduction of the lager 125cc model, doubling to 20,000 in 1949. In the 1953 film Roman Holiday, stars Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn rode a Vespa through the streets of Rome and the Hollywood exposure resulted in sales climbing to over 100,000 with stars such as Dean Martin, Marlon Brando and Abbe Lane becoming Vespa owners. This 1951 125cc V31T is the same model as that featured in Roman Holiday and was fully restored in Rome prior to being imported into the UK. It has been beautifully refinished in the original metallic pale green and is an extremely rare find, even in its native Italy. It is UK registered and ready to be enjoyed by an appreciative new owner.
Lot 390
Chassis Number : 548504 Engine Number : 336614 Odometer reading : 12,169 miles Estimate : £2,500 - £4,000 Manufactured by the Italian industrial giant Innocenti, the Lambretta motor scooter mobilised an entire generation of Italians in the immediate post-war years. The scooter gained instant acceptance everywhere, its cleanliness and convenience in particular appealing to those who did not have the inclination, time or money for the larger motorcycle. Scooters would eventually surpass their strictly utilitarian origins to become an integral part of British youth culture in the 1960s. The Model LD 125 (or Lusso) was introduced in December, 1951 alongside the basic Model D which had no bodywork. Like the previous Model C, it featured a tubular frame and the petrol tank mounted under the rider's seat. The air cooled 123cc engine featured a cast iron cylinder topped by an aluminium cylinder head and produced an output of 5bhp, giving a top speed of 47mph. The Lambretta was very economical with fuel consumption in the region of 140mpg. The specification included shaft drive, a three speed gearbox operated by a single Teleflex cable and drum brakes, the rear brake being rod operated. The front suspension springs were now enclosed within tubes and the rear suspension was provided by means of a torsion bar. Standard colours were green, grey or beige and the early models can be identified by the two port holes at the rear of the side panels. A Mk. II was introduced in June 1953 after 87,500 units of the first series had been produced; the only major difference was a change to cable operation for the rear brake and the standard colour was now grey or beige with a choice of contrasting side panels in green, blue or red. A speedometer mounted in a miniature leg shield box became an option, as hitherto 125cc machines were not required to have one fitted. Other distinguishing features of the Mk. II were an inside legshield toolbox, and the horn was mounted below the headlight. A version featuring an electric starter, the LDA 125, also became available. The Mk. III of 1957 featured twin 'push and pull' cables to change gear in place of the single Teleflex cable used previously, an epicyclical kick start and the speedometer and horn were mounted in a casting which sat on top of the handlebars. There was no longer a toolbox mounted on the inside legshield as it was now incorporated into the rear bodywork and the choice of main colours had increased to green, grey, off-white, beige and blue with red, blue, maroon or green side panels. The LD 125 offered here was imported from Malta in 2001 in semi-restored condition. The restoration was duly finished and then the Lambretta was put into dry storage. Prior to being imported it had three owners and the current vendor is the second UK owner. The vendor informs us that it rides very well and being of 125cc has the added benefit of being eligible to be ridden on 'L' plates. It is yet to be given a UK registration but all import taxes have been paid. The history file includes the import documentation, an old MoT test certificate and foreign log book. There is also an original toolkit accompanying the scooter. Early Lambrettas like this one are now very sought after and collectable. This 1957 LD 125 is offered at a very attractive estimate.

Registration : 844UYK Chassis Number : 010154 Engine Number : 3555464000125LD Odometer reading : 16,643 km Estimate : £2,500 - £3,750 Manufactured by the Italian industrial giant Innocenti, the Lambretta scooter gained instant acceptance in the immediate post-war years, its cleanliness and convenience in particular, appealing to those who regarded the true motorcycle with suspicion. In the UK, Italian scooters were adopted as favoured transport by the 'Mods' becoming one of the enduring style icons of the 1960s. Predecessor of the Li and TV series, the LD arrived in 125cc form in 1951 and became available with a 150cc engine three years later. The LD 125's air-cooled two-stroke single-cylinder engine produced 4.8bhp giving the model a top speed of around 45mph. LD production continued until the end of the 1950s. This Lambretta 125 has recently been imported into the UK although it is registered on UK number plates and is supplied with a V5 registration document. Lambretta scooters are iconic and this early twin-seat model is sure to create interest. In need of restoration although it has been used in a dry climate, this Lambretta is certainly a worthwhile project.
Lot 116
Registration : 518UML Chassis Number : 70501 Engine Number : 3030318 Odometer reading : 6,534 miles Estimate : £10,000 - £14,000 The Messerschmitt KR200 is a three-wheeled bubble car designed by the aircraft engineer, Fritz Fend and produced in the factory of the German manufacturer from 1955 to 1964. Messerschmitt, temporarily not allowed to manufacture aircrafts, had turned its resources to producing other commodities and, in 1952, Fend approached Messerschmitt with the idea of manufacturing small motor vehicles. The first of Fend's vehicles to enter production was the KR175, the title 'Kabinenroller' means 'scooter with cabin'. The narrow body and corresponding low frontal area was achieved with tandem seating which also allowed the body to taper like an aircraft fuselage; the fuel consumption of the car was reported to be 87mpg with a top speed of 65mph - if you were brave enough. Production of the KR200 was heavily reduced in 1962 and ceased in 1964 following consistent drops in sales for a number of years. The KR200 ran on a 191cc Fichtel & Sachs air-cooled, single cylinder, two-stroke engine positioned in front of the rear wheel. The engine had two sets of contact points and, to reverse, the engine was stopped, then restarted, going backwards. Originally registered on 21st April 1959, this KR200 presents in excellent condition and, whilst we did not test drive the vehicle, we are advised she starts and runs well. Clearly, this Messerschmitt has been loved and cherished and, as such, is one of the best KR200s we have seen for some time. The cream paintwork is virtually unmarked, as is the black interior. These quirky vehicles have a strong following and one in such good condition as this will certainly create interest. Supplied with a V5 registration document.

Lot 2041
Lambretta's great rival Piaggio had upped the ante in the scooter market when they introduced the sporting GS150 prompting a response which emerged in the form of the TV175 quickly followed by the Li 150 and 125 models. The new machines were considerably larger than their predecessors and featured new power units and considerably revised styling although they retained the separate frame of their predecessors. The Series 1 machines were followed by the Series 2 models in 1959, which saw the headlight move to the handlebars and a rationalisation in production with more parts being common across the range. This barn find, dating from 1960, is a series 2 LI150. It is offered in fair, original, unrestored condition and is accompanied by a number of old MOT certificates dating from the 1970's and 1980's together with a Swansea V5.
