 Cruikshank (Isaac Robert) Going to a Fight The Sporting World in all its variety of Style and Costume along the Road from Hyde Park Corner to Moulsey Hurst, hand-coloured aquatint panorama, 42 numbered scenes on conjoined sheets forming continuous strip, c.60 x 3810mm., rather soiled and browned (particularly at beginning where creased and slightly chipped), a few stains, several tears and repairs, on roller housed in original boxwood drum covered in hand-coloured pictorial aquatint label featuring boxing scene and title at head & foot, drum c.125mm. tall, rubbed and very browned, preserved in modern morocco-backed cloth drop-back box, without the very rare printed key by Pierce Egan (as usual),[Abbey, Life 473; Bobins 1595], Sherwood, Neely & Jones, 1819. Saleroom notice: The wooden piece at the end of the panorama has become detached. *** Depicting a long procession of gentlemen in various carriages and coaches, and even one on a dandy-horse (an early form of bicycle), on their way to see an outdoor boxing match. They pass various buildings and inns along the way, cross a river in boats or on ferries for horses and carriages, arriving at the field for the prize fight complete with betting stands. The final two scenes show a man being tossed by a bull and the interior of a coaching yard.The dandy-horse was a two-wheeled vehicle with a seat, as in a bicycle, but without pedals and propelled by the rider's feet running along the ground. It was invented by the German Karl Drais in 1817 and named a laufmaschine or "running machine", then patented by him in France as a vélocipède in 1818. This panorama, dated 1819, therefore shows an early example in England.

Registration No: VAM 995D Frame No: 125LIS 859745 Engine No: 125LIS 859280 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptCompletely standard 6v and appearing untouchedOriginal Italian documents from newV5C and ready for the roadAppears to be original paint all overLambretta revised the Li Series 3 for the third time in late 1965. Already more elegant and better designed than the earlier Li the Special range aimed to be more sporting and performance-based. The improved engine and close-ratio gearbox made for a faster machine with much-improved acceleration than earlier standard Li 125cc versions. The attractive angular lines and new metallic colours modernised the range. The 125 Special was not exported to the UK at the time and it is still relatively difficult to find one imported in excellent condition.Here we present a very original 125cc Special in the desirable metallic blue. Completely standard and having had no modifications. The scooter was imported directly from a dealer in Italy and was supplied with its original purchase receipt Foggio Complimentare and Ministry of Transport booklet showing details of its early history up to 1988. The purchase date was February 1967 and the UK registration from LCGB states a manufacture of 1966. The body work is straight and good bar a repairable scrape on the right-side panel. The paint has a pleasant patina all over the panels and the running in transfer is fully visible. The seat is the original Blue Giuliari with original cover in remarkably good condition. All over the scooter we can see originality including; The control switch, speedometer, engine and panels. 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 on 6v points. Full original keys are present and the scooter is registered ready for the road. We were able to see the scooter running at the time of consignment although do advise a service before using. Also has an original '60s Cuppini rear spare wheel holder and rack in black, quite rare in itself. Learner legal and a well above average condition machine.

Registration No: LKE 573E Frame No: 125Li4 149064 Engine No: 125Li4 149261 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptCharismatic and largely original exampleCorrect engine and clear Li4 frame numbersIn good running condition ATCV5C and ready for the roadThe ‘Slimstyle’ Lambretta Series 3 was launched in December 1961 with the Li125. It was a sleek stylish machine compared to the previous wider Series 2 and over the course of time evolved into 150cc and special versions. It is unknown why the Li Series 4 came into being but we know that only 1400 were made. The series 4 had some unusual characteristics as the Li had already been superseded by the Special and SX versions of the slim style range. Reverting back to what appears at first glance as an L125 series 3 the key differences were that they had clip on side panels, the later oblong horncast badge, was non-chrome ring, and usually a blue dual seat with the whole scooter painted in a pale blue colour. In the UK there is a registrar of Series 4 machines collated by the British Lambretta Archive where only around 40 machines are known to survive.This interesting example is a subtle blend of originality combined with some overblowing estimated at 50/50 original paint. 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 125 on 6V points which is just as one likes to find these. This example was found in Italy and the previous Italian owner had installed a front riders saddle with a fold down side saddle accessory rear seat lady seat which has a nice original patterned cushion pad. There is also a homemade rear wheel carrier which has a trailer hook attached. One can imagine the Italian scene with lady and gent with trailer laden with children or produce travelling to town. Full keys are present for tool box and steering lock. There is an accessory helmet/bag hook and flyscreen brackets are in place to easily add your own screen. The scooter started up easily and sounded healthy at the time of consignment. Comes with an authenticity dating certificate from the Lambretta Club of Great Britain, however, there is no doubt that this is a genuine Li4 and probably one of the most original survivors that you will find.

Registration No: FNB 788C Frame No: 175TV3 550211 Engine No: 175TV/2 549869 CC: 175 MOT: ExemptCorrect numbersItalian documentationIn good running condition at time of consignmentAppears largely original (see description)V5C 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 later version had Special type side panels and offered Metallic Blue as a colour in addition to the standard colour range.This very presentable example in our opinion was imported from Italy in 2019 and comes complete with Italian Ministry paperwork confirming the first registration there as the 1st of October 1965. As in keeping with his other scooters 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 apparently never been removed. Still standard on 6v points. However, this scooter has a surprise. The leg shields show both badging of a TV Series 3 and an Li Special. As the machine is showing correct numbers for a TV3 it is our supposition that the leg shield was replaced for some reason with a Special leg shield obtained in the same colour which was also available for both models at the time. The leg shields do appear to have been overpainted but MOTs of the other panels do appear as original paint. It is also a battery model and it is unknown whether the battery tray was added at a later date or factory supplied in this way. Apart from these features the scooter is very much a standard TV Series 3 and a very presentable one too in arguably the most desirable colour scheme. The seat is an original Noemi Rosa with original cover and in excellent condition. There is a lot of originality all over the machine and of note the standard 175 engine and many small features all over. The scooter started easily and was running very well at time of consignment.

Registration No: MCY 405D Frame No: VSC1T 0023029 Engine No: VSC1M 0022199 CC: 181 MOT: ExemptSuperb restored exampleStill 6v on standard engineMany original parts throughoutAppears completely standard Correct numbers V5 present for use on UK roadsThe 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 toolbox 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 has been restored to a high standard using the original parts and is the second series with no key ignition. Upon close examination it is in extremely good order with no evidence see of having had any major repairs. The floor looks extremely straight and the panels are in good order all over the machine. (To be a perfectionist there has been a repair to the grill on the engine side panel which could be further tidied up). Many of the original parts seen include: The full lights front and back are Siem, with an original Siem headlight rim, the seat appears to be original with possibly a very authentic new cover, The badges appear original with some anodisation to prove their age, original horn and speedometer are present as are the original Zadi keys for the tool box and steering lock which of course works. The toolbox itself has an original Zadi lock mechanism. The whole scooter is finished off in the correct red colour. We were able to see the scooter start easily and run perfectly at the time of consignment. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: PX13 KJZ Frame No: SMTTF6885JE597363 Engine No: 598662 CC: 1050 MOT: NoneThis Sprint GT 1050 is in immaculate conditionFastidiously maintained to a high standardHandbooks and 2 sets of keysCurrent V5C on fileIn 2010, the Triumph Sprint GT (Grand Tourer) was launched with a change of emphasis. Compared to the class-leading ST (Sports Tourer), the GT was more focused on two-up touring, with a longer wheelbase, more weight and a better pillion provision. The longer chassis allowed pillion footpegs to be repositioned to be more accommodating for a passenger. Removing the ST's under-seat silencers to a conventional position allowed the reshaped pillion seat to be lower. Uprated hard panniers were a standard fitting. These panniers were more robust and much larger than the previous STsFirst registered in June of 2013, this 8,000 miles from new 2013 Triumph Sprint GT 1050 has been extremely well looked after. The machine comes to sale complete with all its luggage carriers and sets of keys and in what could be described as superb running order. It has been treated to Halo Smart Protection for several years to keep all the paintwork etc in the best condition. Described by the vendor in ‘as new’ condition, it presents immaculately and will be offered with, 2 sets of keys, the handbooks, a sales booklet and some old MOTs and the current V5C.

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: PXS 989 Frame No: 16728 Engine No: T1POB 16899 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptPLEASE NOTE: The reserve has been reduced.Extremely originalCorrect numbersV5C for UK roadsThe Lambretta Model B was first introduced in the 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 1949 example was first registered in Milan the home city of the Lambretta and is supplied with its original Italian Milano ‘Targa’ number plate. Now UK registered to use on the roads here. It is roughly mid production and has the glass rear light lens (later models had plastic) and the bakelite Model A type light switch on the headlight. It is extremely original and on examination of the photographs one will see this. According to the vendor the fuel tank was cleaned internally, the carburettor was electrostatically cleaned and the scooter was fired with new tyres and fuel tap. The original flywheel was re-magnetised and the whole system is standard and still on original 6v electrics. The coil was replaced with a NOS original. The sooner had not been started for some considerable time but we were able to see it briefly running at the time of consignment. It will probably need another fuel service after not being used for some time. The seats are in good usable condition the rear one being an aftermarket accessory seat. The scooter also comes with an original user manual in Italian (not a copy) which is a valuable document in itself.

Harley epitomizes large-capacity cruisers that many have tried to copy but have never managed to match Harley's image and prestige. The Sportster range has been produced continuously since 1957, powered by the classic air-cooled V-twin engine in a nice simple chassis. In 1991 the model was given a facelift including the adoption of a five-speed gearbox and belt final drive.This one owner from new Sportster, being offered at no reserve, was bought by the vendor from Warrs Harley Davidson, Europe's oldest Harley dealer, in April 1991. Still wearing its original paint and chrome, the bike is Stage 1 tuned and comes supplied with 2 sets of original exhaust, original air filter parts and dual seat. Included in the sale is an extensive paperwork file including the original bill of sale, some contemporary catalogues, accessory brochures, many old MOTs and tax disc and a current V5C. Please note, this bike has recently been returned to the UK from the vendor's home in Portugal. The battery had to be removed to allow for transport so a new one will be needed before use.

Registration No: K571 BDB Frame No: VSR1T3025959 Engine No: VSR1M30280 CC: 200 MOT: ExemptLow mileage only 3,857 miles believed genuine The Cosa is the theme model of The Vespa Club of Britain for 2024Seldom seen for saleExtremely originalV5C for use on UK roadsThe Vespa P range was launched in 1977 in Milan as the nuova linea model (new line). A hugely successful model for Piaggio for almost 40 years but the end of the line was near and when the last stock was sold and no more 2 stroke PX models were to be produced. Production of the P range ended completely in early 2017 as the engine would fail to meet Euro 4 compliance emission requirements. During the production run there were several variations on the theme and one of them the COSA embraced the late 1980s style of the day and included some interesting technical variations. The first version COSAs were introduced in 1988 with a modified clutch that was easier to use than the P200. It had a modified tail light and a seat lock located on the side of the wider saddle. It had a more powerful engine than the P range and new instrumentation including a rev counter. It had a more streamlined shape than the P range and small improvements included the recessed indicators. The main safety difference was hydraulic brakes distributed through both wheels by an hydraulic circuit and a pressure regulator. The COSA 2 launched in 1992 uprated the brakes even further with an EBD device to prevent the brakes locking. The saddle had 2 offset levels with the pillion sitting higher.This Cosa Series 2 was purchased by our vendor in 1995 from a neighbour in almost new condition with only 3,843 miles on the speedometer. He never used. It was put into a barn and forgotten until now. The MOT from 1993 and the current mileage confirm in our opinion the low mileage as correct. It is showing signs of having stood for some time but is rust-free showing some scratches from being moved. No attempt was made to start the scooter at the time of consignment. Interestingly the Cosa is the model of the year for 2024 of The Vespa Club of Britain and the one used on the 2024 badges is the same colour as this example!

Registration No: 515 XVU Frame No: 309683 Engine No: 651402 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptExtremely original and standardIn fully working order ATCValuable accessoriesV5C for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta Li Series 1 was properly 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 175 had. The Li 125 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 instant hit. The Lambretta Li125 series 2 was launched in October 1959. Based on the successful series 1 with the obvious difference was the position of the headlight on the handlebars for better lighting when cornering. It had an engine based on the Li125 series 1 but with an increased stroke and several other small modifications all over the scooter that made it the best-selling Lambretta of all time.This very original machine was sourced according to our vendor via Rimini Lambretta Centre and was subject to a service there before being imported around 2020 into the UK. Originally licensed in Ancona, Italy the scooter is supplied with its original ‘Targa’ Italian number plate in addition to the UK license plate. During the service the scooter had a new rear shock fitted and new tyres. We are informed that even the piston is the original although it has had new rings fitted which are still not yet run in. The electrics are still on 6v points and all over the scooter one can see originality including the lights, carburettor and engine. The original paint shows no obvious signs of any touch ups and has a pleasant all over patina with a good condition front mudguard. The scooter has some valuable accessories including a Cavalli Falbo ‘pig nose’ horn cast embellisher, Cavalli fork covers and a top of the range Rimini leopard Pegasus seat. Other accessories are original hand and lever grips. The scooter comes with the steering lock key and is fitted with an aftermarket Li125 speedometer. We are informed by the vendor that the sooner rides really well and we were able to see the scooter running very well with no issues at the time of consignment. The original light switch has been damaged in storage and supplied is a genuine NOS replacement switch will be supplied with the lot. This scooter is ready to ride and enjoy on the road.

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.

These machines are the epitome of Honda's 1960s golden years. The bike still looks wonderful today and when you look back at what other manufacturers were producing at the time it is no wonder the Japanese manufacturers were so successful. These bikes need to be loved and preserved for enthusiasts now and in the future.This CB77 has been lovingly restored and is in absolute pristine condition. The engine has been completely rebuilt by professional engineers Partsmade. The hard-faced camshafts were supplied by Megacycle Cams of San Rafael, California. These cams (part no. 121/00) improved the mid-range power with good low-end response and were sent to California for the works to be carried out at significant expense. All the alloy components have been professionally polished. Instrumentation was restored by a Japanese instrument specialist and recalibrated leaving the mileage in place from my initial purchase. The Honda Owner's Club has provided a certificate of authentication verifying the serial numbers of the frame and the engine.The headers have been remade out of polished stainless steel to match the original profiles. The single repro CYB seat shell was purchased from abroad to mimic the works Honda CYB options offered at the time. Should the buyer wish to return the machine to what the original manufacturer intended many original parts will be included with the sale and comprise of the following:Twin seatRear passenger pegsPainted full-length rear fenderChrome silencersCarb tubes (original carb filters still installed in the machine)Ignition coilsOriginal gear-shift armTwo new full-carb service kits."This 1966 Honda CB77 was purchased by the current vendor from a gentleman who imported it from the United States as a complete project. Stripped and completely rebuilt at a great cost of many thousands of pounds with all receipts on file, some slight deviations from standard as in a ‘cafe racer’ style. Components have either been stripped and cleaned, rebuilt or resprayed to a high standard. We have been advised the Honda is ‘running very well’ and still needs to be run in.

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

Ltd's SYM Mio boasts compact dimensions, even smaller than many modern scooters, with minimal length and height. Its width nears the lower limits of its category, while the seat height is low, with a narrow front portion that widens towards the rear. This design ensures that even shorter riders can firmly plant their feet on the ground. Powering the Mio is a four-stroke, air-cooled, two-valve engine with a displacement of 101cc and carburettor fuel delivery. It generates 8bhp at 8000rpm and 7.5Nm of torque at 6500rpm, offering adequate performance for the scooter's weight and intended use.This Sym Mio100 scooter was purchased by the current vendor for his partner, it was used by her very briefly and since then it has not been used.

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.

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.

The SX range retained most styling features of the TV 175/200 Series III that 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 where 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 mid-production example was first registered in Great Britain by motorcycle dealers Williamson and Peacey of Winchester on 26th June 1967 and sold to David Rogers on the 18th June 1968. It has been left in the will of David Rogers the sole owner of the scooter to our vendor's wife. She has allowed a picture of David riding it back in the day with her mother to be included in the history file and this is included the sale. As we understand it David restored it around 2010 with the help of a motorcycle club after many years of wishing to do so. At this time he also applied for the original number to be restored to the scooter successfully. We note that the scooter has many original parts and the original speedometer shows a credible 7,373 miles. This can be deduced particularly because the panels are in extremely good condition and most notably the original Giuliari seat still has its original red cover in strikingly superb condition with no rips or tears. The engine casing and gear levers also looked like they had had light use. There are a great deal of other original parts used including the original ignition switch number 117, toolbox lock and key and steering lock are all original. The engine is completely standard as a 200cc with the original SH1/20 carburettor and original long reach kick start. The scooter is well presented with attractive red side panels which are also original. The number plate has period-style vinyl numbers. This SX200 has been converted to 12v electrics but the original 6v flywheel and stator plate are included in the sale along with a large amount of spare parts and manuals (photographs to follow). Our consultant was able to start the scooter easily and also rode it on the road. It sounded and handled very well and all worked as it should at the time of consignment.

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.

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, V50 and V65 models were launched as lightweight versions of the bigger capacity V-twins introducing an entirely new group of riders to the mystique and cachet of the Moto Guzzi brand.This Guzzi 650 shaft drive V-twin has been part of an enthusiast private collection for a number of years. It comes fitted with a full stainless steel exhaust system and a Spada style handlebar fairing which together with its lower seat height, electric starter and ease of maintenance make it an ideal bike for classic runs and rallies.

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

Sporadic production continued throughout the Pioneer period and by the 1920s they had a range of single cylinder side valve models featuring either two or three speed gearboxes and belt or chain final drive as well as a flat twin. Their machines quickly established an enviable reputation for reliability, enhanced in 1924 by Hugh Gibson's successful circuit of the British coast on a Raleigh combination and Marjorie Cottle's reverse circuit of the same route on a solo. Production continued until 1933 when the company ceased motorcycle production to concentrate on their pedal powered products.This stunningly presented 2 ¾ HP two speed belt drive Model 1 was actually recovered from a hedge in 1987 by the enthusiast vendor. As you can imagine it was in quite a state but it was extensively renovated with love and precision by the current owner, an engineer, and thoroughly enjoyed by him and his wife winning prizes at many classic events such as the Chipping Steam Fair. It is thought that very few have survived and the bike was re-registered on its original number in 2002 with the help of Michael Worthington-Williams once the restoration was complete. It comes with quite a selection of spare parts including a fuel tank, exhaust, rims, boxes of mechanical parts and what appears to be the best part of another engine as well as a pillion seat. There is also an extensive box file full of receipts and information about the rebuild together with various bits of technical information and a current V5C.

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.

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world and have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary inline 4 cylinder CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike, but Honda always liked to push the boundaries with different layouts. The transverse vee twin CX500 was such a model and after initial teething problems built up an enviable reputation for durability, becoming the despatch riders weapon of choice.This 1979 CX500 Custom model was imported from the USA in 2016 and bought by the vendor who then started a long-term project to build a one-off ‘brat-bike’ using many new parts to create an unusual and distinctive special. The frame and swinging arm have been powder-coated in Bronze with the bodywork refinished in two-tone Bronze and Gold and a new speedo and tacho fitted. A pair of bespoke mudguards have been modelled together with a tan-coloured seat to create that all-important cut-down look. The chassis is finished off with a pair of Ohlins rear shocks and a neat little tool bag that sits behind the engine. A labour of love, the vendor has spent a fortune and many hours to build this bike, dry stored over the winter it will need recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with some spare parts, receipts collected during the rebuild, a tool kit, its original owner's manual 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

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 until the last MotoVespas were produced. The 125 N was the first fully Spanish built wide frame Vespa after the grey Faro Basso type. It retained the crimped beading on the frame sides., which is a desirable effect. Often referred to as the Spanish ‘Struzzo’ (Italian for Ostrich) it resembled the Italian VL range. It had many features the same as the Struzzo including cabled handlebars, 3 gears, 8 inch wheels and Femsa ignition.Here we present a very attractive example that has been the subject of a very long restoration because of the owner's insistence on sourcing original parts which he tells us took patience. He bought it 8 years ago and has decided to sell to make room for a new project. We are informed by the vendor that the attractive light green period style colour was an original paint colour for the model in Spain but we cannot verify this, however, it really is a typical 50s colour and very nice too in our opinion. Original parts that we could see were the Veglia speedometer (Douglas), lights, hubs and rims, engine cowls and we are informed all of the panels are the originals restored. We are also informed that the engine is completely standard with original barrel and gearbox. The top of the petrol tank is original however the lower part is a SIP replacement as is the carburettor. The electrics have been converted to 12v with a quality Pinasco ignition system. The original Spanish number plate is also supplied and one can see the original owner's plate beneath the seat on the carb door.We were able to start the scooter easily at the time of consignment and our consultant also took it for a little spin and all seemed to work as it should.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: T1POB 27704 Engine No: T1POB 28018 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptPLEASE NOTE: The reserve has been reduced.Extremely originalCorrect numbersNOVA acquired for easy UK registrationThe Lambretta Model B was first introduced in the 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 1949 example was first sold in Brescia and still has the original Nello Brinis & Co dealer badge. We believe it was last on the road in 1960 as the last Italian tax disc on the scooter states this. The scooter was imported in 2021 and was a very good find. The absolute originality all over this scooter testifies to that. Our vendor has not done anything to it as it runs very well and has an extraordinarily good-aged patina. With its original exhaust the scooter ran very well at the time of consignment. It also has a rare aftermarket PM10 accessory pillion seat. This scooter in our opinion simply needs to be registered and enjoyed. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: PFK 248R Frame No: VSE1T 0032587 Engine No: VSE1M 0032850 CC: 200 MOT: ExemptOriginal sales receiptOriginal all over including paint in rare Azzuro China colourFull known history and only 2 owners from newBritish registered from new on 22nd October 1976V5C present for use on UK roadsThe Vespa Rally 200 made between 1972 and 1979 is much sought after by collectors due to its excellent and powerful performance coupled with attractive lines. 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.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: BA 16208 Engine No: 16208 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptExtremely originalVery rare Lilac paint optionExcellent very original condition, including paintIn good running conditionThe 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 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. This is a very rare scooter in this colour and in such excellent original condition. Please see below video For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
