1971 Lambretta J50, 50cc. Registration number EKH 355J (non transferrable). Frame number 50DL 513558. Engine number J50 510170. Sold with the V5C, MOT's 2012-2014, various receipts, there is no key.The last version of the Junior 50 appeared in the spring of 1970 alongside, but not replacing, the preceding model, The Deluxe. With the nickname of "Special", this Lambretta would be the last 50cc model built by the Innocenti factory before the assembly line was transferred to the Indian government. The new model had many new esthetic modifications, the covering for the floorboards was now a black rubber mat; the seat was now two tone and more slender; the arrow metal pieces on the side panels were modified; and a more practical handle was added, which helped to maneuver the scooter from when it was stopped. It was offered in red, turquoise, and ochre yellow.Unfortunately, the Special was never quite able to find its market niche, and less than 14,000 units were ever produced before production was halted in April 1971.EKH was first registered with DVLA in 2012, and was owned by Lottie Jackson, then came Dean Proctor in 2014, and in 2021 our vendor became the fourth owner. It has covered some 2025 miles since the first 2012 MOT and was running last year.

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. Colour choice was now green, grey, beige, off-white or blue with contrasting side panels in blue, maroon, red or green. CSJ was subject to a re-registration from TNM 686 in 1999 and is an older restoration. Sold with the V5C, 1999 MOT at 11,510 km, today it is 11,551 km.

Engine number 54?G3LS 26417.Sold with a AJS/Matchless owners club dating certificate.The rigid framed Matchless G3L/AJS Model 16M 350 cc single was developed in 1945 from the military World War II motorcycle. The company also produced an almost identical motorcycle under the AJS name as the G3L with the only difference between the two was that the Matchless carried a magneto at the rear of the cylinder barrel, whereas the AJS magneto was at the front.In 1953, the models were modernised with a dual seat replacing the saddle and rear pillion seat, it retained a rigid rear frame until 1949, when pivoted rear suspension controlled by hydraulically dampened spring units designed and made by Matchless became available. The difference was indicated by the S (for springer) designation.This example was undergoing restoration by our deceased vendor and he obtained the dating certificate in 2016, it is unknown when it was last run.

1938 Morris 8, Series II, 817cc. Registration number EAR 581. Chassis number S 2/E 166284. Engine number B 91696.Sold with the V5C, R.F. 60, keys, many old MOT's, history/receipt folder.One of the great automotive success stories of the Thirties and one of the best-loved pre-war cars, it is no exaggeration to say that the Eight was the car that saved Morris.Small and affordable but with room for all the family, it was far more suited to Britain's increasingly crowded roads than the larger models that had formerly underpinned the Morris range. So successful was it that within three years of its introduction in June 1935, over 116,000 had been sold by the time it was replaced by the Series II in 1937.Available as a two or four-seat tourer and a two or four-door saloon, the Eight was capable of 60mph and 40mpg from its 23.5bhp 918cc side-valve engine, driving through a three-speed box with synchromesh on the top two gears. It also benefited from hydraulic brakes and a good level of equipment.EAR has known history back to 1964 when it was owned by Albert Rapson of Hertfordshire, five further owners are noted on the R.F.60, there is then a gap until the MOT records which start in 1985 at 5232 miles and continue until 2005 at 19,119 miles when Stephen Nobes is recorded as the owner on the V5C. Barry Springfield-Hunt bought it in 2007, and then in 2015 David Powell was the owner; our vendor bought it from him in 2018. The interior was refreshed in 2009 and the engine in 2012. At some point the body has undertaken a full restoration. During our vendors custodianship he has overhauled the brakes, the wiring, the ignition and other general maintenance.A change of lives priorities nows means that our vendor has decided to part with "Daisy". Sold with the V5C, R.F. 60, keys, many old MOT's, history/receipt folder.

The "Lips Sofa" is a distinctive and iconic piece of furniture designed by Italian artist and designer Salvador Dalà in 1936. Officially known as the "Bocca Sofa," it is sometimes referred to simply as the "Lips Sofa" because of its striking resemblance to a pair of red, voluptuous lips. Here are some key details about the Lips Sofa:1. **Designer**: The Lips Sofa was designed by Salvador DalÃ, one of the most famous and influential surrealist artists of the 20th century. Dalà is renowned for his imaginative and eccentric works of art, and the Lips Sofa is a testament to his unique artistic vision.2. **Inspiration**: Dalà was known for drawing inspiration from everyday objects and imbuing them with surreal and dreamlike qualities. The Lips Sofa was inspired by the sensual and provocative imagery often found in his paintings and drawings.3. **Design Concept**: The design of the Lips Sofa is whimsical and playful. It features a bright red, lip-shaped seat and backrest, with the two sides of the seat curling upward to resemble a pair of lips in the act of kissing. The upholstery is typically made from fabric or leather.4. **Cultural Significance**: The Lips Sofa is considered an iconic piece of surrealist furniture and a symbol of the Surrealist art movement. It blurs the boundaries between art and design and challenges conventional notions of functional furniture.5. **Limited Production**: The original Lips Sofa was produced in limited quantities and is considered a collector's item. Authentic vintage examples are highly sought after and can command significant prices in the collector's market.6. **Contemporary Versions**: Due to the enduring popularity of the design, contemporary reproductions of the Lips Sofa are also available. These reproductions adhere to the original design while using modern materials and manufacturing techniques.7. **Versatility**: While the Lips Sofa is often considered a work of art, it can function as a functional seating piece in various settings, including living rooms, lounges, galleries, and art studios. Its bold and provocative design can serve as a focal point in interior spaces.The Lips Sofa is a testament to Salvador DalÃ's ability to infuse everyday objects with surreal and artistic qualities. Its eye-catching and unconventional design continues to captivate art and design enthusiasts and serves as a reminder of the playful and imaginative spirit of the Surrealist movement.Measure 7 x 2.75 x 2.5.
