Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 61-1719 Engine No: 014D 21038 CC: 200 MOT: ExemptVilliers-engined Greeves Scottish trials modelAuthentically restored to a good standardFull £728 engine rebuild by Villiers ServicesGreeves Motorcycles was a British motorcycle manufacturer founded by Bert Greeves which produced a range of road machines and later competition mounts for observed trials, scrambles and road racing. The original company produced motorcycles from 1952, funded by a contract with the Ministry of Pensions for their Invacar, a three-wheeler for disabled drivers. The Greeves Scottish was named in honour of Jack Simpson’s class win in the 1957 Scottish Six Days Trial and for many years it was the clubman rider’s favourite mount. The bike went through a large number of updates during its eight-year production span but was distinguished by its alloy frame section and leading link forks.This good looking c.1961 Scottish, in classic Greeves colours of Blue frame and Silver petrol tank, has been part of an enthusiast private collection for a number of years and is offered in authentically restored condition. The engine was subject to a £728 engine overhaul in 2010, invoice included, and the vendor reports it has not seen much use since. Run recently, the bike appears to have only had competition use so has never been registered. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 5JD 19623 Engine No: 5JD 19623 CC: 150 MOT: ExemptThe Sportique Supreme is one of the rarest British built Vespa Douglas modelsOne of the last ever models produced by Douglas in BristolOriginal paint under the overpaintOriginal matching numbersOriginal Green logbook for simple UK registrationThe first time a Vespa was seen in Great Britain was on the Douglas stand at the 1949 Motor Cycle Show. 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
