Holford, 1692. *** "There are many amusing tales which Boyle and his editor had apparently received from navigators. Pages 102-6, for example, are headed 'Enquiries for Virginia and Bermudas' in which he asks for a 'particular Account of the [well known] Spider in the Bermudas, said to be Large and Beautiful for its Colours [&c.]'. He also desires further information concerning the 'Gigantick Natives of Cheasapeak' and the particulars of that sea water 'where ships do soonest rot as in the Streights of California the Sea looks red, with innumerable Worms that are in it'."

Registration No: N758 CWX Frame No: ZDM600*002028 Engine No: ZDM600A20*004775 CC: 600 MOT: September 2024Standard and original 600SS recently treated to a full serviceGenuine Ducati belts used and a new OEM fuel pump fittedSupplied with a large paperwork file, MOT and a current V5CDucati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a pushbike with a clip-on engine. By the 1960s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years.This standard and original 600 SS has been part of a small private collection for the last few years. It was serviced in January this year, including oil/filter/plugs and most importantly original Ducati timing belts as well as a new genuine fuel pump. Included is a large paperwork file of old MOTs, servicing/parts invoices, owner's manual, Haynes manual, both keys and even the original tool kit. It has an MOT until 14th September 2024 and comes supplied with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189
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. Please see video. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
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: FTO 832C Frame No: TV3 551235 Engine No: TV/2 553434 CC: 198 MOT: ExemptOne owner from newRegistered new on 8th November 1963 in NottinghamBuff logbook and full historyFull original keys for ignition, steering lock and tool boxOn DVLA system 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 larger-engined TV200 quickly followed the TV175 slim style in early 1963 at the specific request of the British importer Lambretta Concessionaires who wanted an even more powerful model than the TV175 to satisfy their customer base. Genuine TV200 Lambrettas were instantly recognised as the GT200 to differentiate them from the TV175 models. The first versions had Li style panels and the later versions had SX-type panels with polished flashes and were often sold with a coloured top on the panel.This extremely original later example of a genuine GT200 was sold new by Horace Rogers Ltd of Nottingham to our vendor's father on the 10th November 1965. It was used by his father with mother as pillion up until the early 1980s with a now 16116 miles on the clock when they had a spill and it was never ridden again and stored in a dry garage until now. It was however MOT’d and taxed annually until 1988. As far as purity is concerned a GT200 stated as that on the first buff logbook (as opposed to TV200) and with fibreglass mudguard from new and the whole scooter is in such original untouched condition. The paint all over is as it was when sold with Gold highlighted panels with no visible touch-ups that we could see and the running in transfer is still visible inside the leg shields. The exception is the visible dent from the accident on the front and the replacement lower headset repaired at the time. The scooter still has its original ULMA/Nannucci accessory rear rack it was sold with and Ulma rubber carpet which is quite perished now. Under the floor mat the floor is in excellent condition as see in the photographs. There is also an accessory fuel gauge in gallons as sold by Lambretta Concessionaires and an ULMA wheel disc in amongst a large amount of spare parts and genuine tools. Spare cables, plugs and bulbs were in the toolbox showing a well-used and loved scooter while on the road. One side panel has an ingenious device as a lever which looks like a classic car handle but it works and shows that this was a used and loved machine while on the road. Everything else appears to be original. The scooter also comes with a selection of genuine manuals including the first edition of the official Lambretta Workshop manual. There are many parts supplied that were found with the scooter including the original TV200 rear frame badge and disc brake windows. Also, the helmet used back in the day and rider’s gauntlets. No attempt was made to start the scooter. It is a lovely precious item and we expect some serious interest in this scooter.

Registration No: E451 NOU Frame No: RC31-1000547 Engine No: RC31E-1000557 CC: 650 MOT: NoneJDM model with Pro Arm suspension and alloy frameRecently fitted 'Fuel' exhaust and brakes overhaulSupplied with an extensive paperwork file and a current V5CThe Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The NT650 was designed by Toshiaki Kishi and was only the second model after the RC30 to be fitted with Honda's patented "Pro-Arm" single-sided rear swinging arm. Supplied with either 400cc or 600cc engines, it was named the 'Bros' in Japan because the two different engine displacement versions were conceived together as 'brothers', it was more excitingly known as the Hawk in other markets. A very well-specified and rare bike in the UK.This 1988 model, being offered at 'no reserve', was bought by the vendor from BAT Motorcycles as a 'grey' import in 1999. Recent work includes the fitting of a 'Fuel' end can and a front and rear brake overhaul. Supplied in its original paint and chrome, included is an extensive paperwork file including numerous old MOTs and Tax Disc, lots of receipts, the original Honda tool kit and a current V5C. Please note, this bike has recently been returned to the UK from the vendors home in Portugal. The battery had to be removed to allow for transport so a new one will be needed before use.

Registration No: BL03 JYC Frame No: ZDMM400AA3B040567 Engine No: ZDM996W4B-006410 CC: 996 MOT: August 2024 Superbike performance in a Monster chassisShowa suspension and Brembo brakesIncludes manuals, spare key and a V5CRESERVE REDUCEDDucati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a push-bike with a clip-on engine. By the '60s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The unfaired Monster began as a styling exercise in 1992, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, and it took time to convince the management at Ducati to build it. The model became an immediate success and has gone down in history as the bike that saved Ducati due to its popularity and cheap development costs with over 300,000 having been produced. Whilst the Monster was initially conceived as a low cost entry model, the S4 range placed the 4 valve water cooled engine from the 996 sports bike in a trellis chassis featuring state of the art suspension and braking.This S4R has been part of a private collection for a few years and is only being sold now to give the vendor more space for his other projects. Offered in good original condition including its genuine Ducati ZDM-33/34 stamped end cans it will make an interesting and quick bike to ride whilst still appreciating in value. It had new tyres and a brake overhaul including new Brembo front disc in 2022, not doing many miles since, and a new battery and fuel pump at the beginning of March this year. Run recently it comes supplied with a paddock stand, some receipts, old MOTs, a current MOT until August 2024, its original tool kit and owners manuals together with a V5C.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 150LiS 247702 Engine No: 150Li 764762 CC: 150 MOT: ExemptCompletely original and untouchedGenuine Red Italian 150 SpecialCorrect numbersIn apparently full running orderNOVA for easy UK registration or exportExceptional opportunityThe ‘150 Special’ debuted at Milan in 1963. 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.

Registration No: DX07 GZN Frame No: ZCGF511BA7V005565 Engine No: F5A606452 CC: 1000 MOT: NoneBeautiful Massimo Tamburini designed F4R 1000Low mileage with one enthusiast owner from newSupplied with all of its original manuals and a V5CMV Agusta is one of the most famous names in motorcycle history having won 270 Grand Prix races, 38 World Riders' Championships and 37 World Constructors Championships with legendary riders such as Giacomo Agostini, Mike Hailwood, Phil Read, Carlo Ubbiali, Gary Hocking and John Surtees. It all began in the early years of the 20th century when Count Giovanni Agusta left Sicily for northern Italy where he built his first aircraft, the AG1, four years after the Wright brothers had made history in the USA. Before the end of WW2 he identified a need for cheap transport once hostilities were over and had developed a 98cc engine that went into production in 1946. Count Domenico Agusta had a passion for motorcycle racing and much like Enzo Ferrari, the Agusta family produced motorcycles almost exclusively to fund their racing efforts, with the company going on to dominate Grand Prix racing in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Inline 4-cylinder engines were a characteristic feature of MV Agusta race bikes and a very exclusive range of 600cc to 860cc 4 cylinder road bikes became the most desirable and expensive bikes available at the time. Motorcycle production ceased in 1977 to concentrate on the more profitable helicopter division, only restarting in 1999 after the Castiglioni family took over the name and launched a new range starting with the F4 750.The F4 750 was created by legendary motorcycle designer Massimo Tamburini at CRC (Cagiva Research Center), following his work on the Ducati 916, with a full 1000cc version being launched in 2006. This beautiful example, presented in original condition, was bought new by the enthusiast vendor in 2007 and has been used sparingly since as part of his collection of classics. Unfortunately, due to ill health, he has not been able to ride it for a while so it will need recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with all of the manuals and instruction books handed over when new, an unused tool kit and a current V5C.

Registration No: NMA 296T Frame No: PC01 2010782 Engine No: PC01E 2010839 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptBespoke ‘brat-bike’ based on a CX500 CustomCustom paintwork with a powder-coated frameOhlins rear shocks, supplied with a current V5CThe Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. 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.

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.
