Registration No: LKE 472E Chassis No: 458782 MOT: ExemptDesirable pre-1968 SWB model complete with correct 5-gauge dashboardCurrent ownership since c.2016 and imported and registered to the UK in 2018Subject to a bodywork restoration, repaint and engine overhaul in the current ownershipFitted with big bore piston and cast cylindersOffered with a current V5C and a collection of invoicesFirst appearing in July 1964, the birth of the 911 marked the end of 356-production. Customers immediately noticed the differences from its predecessor - but with many improvements came a large price increase - the 911 was around $2,000 more than the comparable 356 model. Thus, by April 1965 a "middle ground" was achieved. The new 912 (essentially a 911 with a four-cylinder 356 engine) was less expensive and customers quickly noticed better weight distribution and better economy. Eventually outselling the 911 in the years it was current, more than 30,000 had left the Stuttgart factory by the time production ceased in 1969. One particular change during 912 manufacture came in its final year, 1969, when the wheelbase was increased from 2211mm (SWB) to 2268mm (LWB). The engine and rear suspension stayed in the same position but the suspension trailing arms were lengthened. This necessitated the rear wheel arches being moved rearward too.A desirable pre-1968 SWB 912, complete with the correct 5-gauge dashboard, this example is a 1967 model year, built in the earlier production year of 1966 (from the (458782 chassis number). It has been in current ownership since c.2016 and subsequently imported and registered in the UK in 2018. It had been stored in the State of Ohio for 30 years, with its previous keeper.‘LKE 472E’ has been the subject of bodywork restoration, a repaint and engine overhaul in the current ownership. The bodywork was restored and repainted some 5 years ago, having been originally finished in the same Golf Blue paintwork. Engine-wise the engine was overhauled and fitted with a 1720cc big-bore piston kit with cast cylinders. Benefitting from Continental tyres all around, it has had attention to the braking system, including caliper pistons and pads, and is expected to be driven to the sale if the weather allows. It is offered with a current V5C, a small box of spares and a collection of invoices. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

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 vee-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 introducing an entirely new group of riders to the mystique and cachet of the Moto Guzzi brand.This V50, part of a Moto Guzzi enthusiast private collection, has enjoyed various modifications under his ownership to make it a more practical and comfortable lightweight Tourer. The bike has been maintained to a high standard, used mainly for VMCC and Moto Guzzi club events and taking part in the Pyrenees Tour des Cols in 2015. Acquired by him as an unfinished ‘project’ in 2012, it was treated to an engine overhaul including new barrel/piston kits, head and carb overhaul, a new breather system and K and N air filters. A new clutch plus a new starter motor (late geared type) were fitted with a new drive shaft/universal joint. A taper roller steering bearing conversion replaced the ball and cup originals and the bike refinished in Black and Gold paintwork with a Monza handlebar fairing and V65 lowers. A full brake caliper overhaul was carried out with new pads/discs, a Monza master cylinder and an overhaul of the original “linked” foot brake master cylinder, with Goodridge brake hoses all round. A Keihan stainless exhaust system and sump extension were practical additions. The bike is fitted with an Electrex World regulator-rectifier, better suited to the Moto Batt Gel Mat battery, Oxford heated grips and a Garmin GPS mount. The finishing touches are a new Elektronik Sachse electronic ignition and full carburettor overhaul in 2023. Included in the sale is a full maintenance/service record covering current ownership with parts receipts, a workshop manual and electronic ignition instructions /warranty information, spare cables, some service spares and the original V50 parts including the round headlight, Bosch electronic ignition system and original regulator -rectifier.

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 legendary 400/4 was launched in 1975 to great acclaim and revolutionised medium-capacity motorcycles giving riders 500cc performance in a small lightweight package.This 1978 Honda 400 Four (400/4) is a mostly original machine, it has been looked after most of its life and has been kept up together. Some new parts were fitted recently. The Honda has been running well until the battery has failed recently, the current vendor has decided he will not ride it again.

Registration No: LXS 715 Frame No: 21626 Engine No: 2286 CC: 250 MOT: ExemptRare in the UK Moto Guzzi Airone 250 SportTypical Italian style and race breed technologySupplied with a large paperwork file and a V5CMoto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. One of the founding fathers was Carlo Guzzi who gave his name to the company and was also the chief designer, always innovative they were very successful in Grand Prix racing with products as diverse as the 350cc horizontal single that won five world championships in a row to the incredible 500c V8. The forward facing cylinder with an outside flywheel became Guzzis signature layout until the arrival of the big vee twins in the late 1960s. The Airone isn’t as well known in the UK as its bigger brother, the 500cc Falcone, but in Italy the 250cc single was by far the bigger seller and the model was in production from the late 1930s through to 1957. An expensive bike in its day and rare in the UK, this beautifully presented Airone is the Sport model with a Sport cam, a higher compression piston and a Dellorto SS1 25mm carburettor. Bought by the vendor in 2013 as an unfinished project, the paint, chrome and preparatory mechanical work was already done with the cycle parts and frame repainted or re-chromed, wheels rebuilt and new or refurbished mechanical parts already sourced and purchased ready for the final engine rebuild. In 2018 the engine/gearbox was completely rebuilt using fully refurbished crankcases, a new crank, refurbished gearbox, a new clutch, plus all new bearings, bushes, gaskets and seals together with a full piston, barrel and head restoration. The bike has been fully rewired and with a reconditioned dynamo and magneto fitted. By late 2019 this Airone was finally ready for UK registration and issued with an age-related number. The machine was briefly run and tested after completion and went very well but due to ill health it has not been used since so will need a light recommissioning and then running in. The quality of the paintwork and the chrome/ alloy brightwork is very good and it comes supplied with a large paperwork file of technical information and receipts, some spares together with a current V5C.

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

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 NS250R was Honda’s first entry into the fiercely contested 250cc race replica market in 1984, a water-cooled, 45bhp, ninety-degree vee-twin housed in a GP replica aluminium frame with the uprated NSR MC16 model arriving in 1987. It competed fiercely with the Suzuki RGV and the Yamaha TZRs for honours on the street and in production racing championships.This NRS250 has been part of an enthusiast private collection for a number of years and is now downsizing due to ill health. It was restored by him around 2016 keeping as much originality as possible including original HM KV3 stamped exhaust. Not ridden much since, the Bridgestone Battlax tyres fitted at the time still look like new, so it will need some recommissioning before use.

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. One of their most distinctive and best loved designs is the Z series of small wheeled minibikes that came to be known as Monkey bikes because those riding them "looked like Monkeys". The first version of the Honda Z-series was the 1961 prototype Honda Z100, originally produced as a children's ride at the Tama Tech Japanese amusement park and was eventually refined and put into mass production in 1964.The Monkey bike has seen several different variations over its 40+ years of production, the Gorilla being one of them, a more aggressively styled and chunky looking bike. This circa 1981 Z50 Gorilla was imported into the UK in 2006 and whilst not registered comes with its 2006 customs declaration showing duties paid at the time. Part of a private collection, the vendor is now downsizing to make a bit of space in his garage. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

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.

The build comprised a brand new G50 motor from Rutter Engineering, a second-hand Metisse rolling chassis with disc brakes front and rear, and genuine Metisse forks. The rolling chassis was disassembled and delivered to Pat French at MRD Metisse in Bristol and was modified to accept the G50 motor. An AMC gearbox was obtained and fitted with 5-speed Quaife internals along with a racing end cover. A Bob Newby clutch and primary drive were also purchased. The machine was then used from 1990 to 1992 unaltered at the Manx Grand Prix and in the UK.Rebuilt and upgraded for competition use between 1993 and 2011, the machine was used on the TT course, the MGP, before being last used at a Mallory Park test day in 2011.We are grateful to the vendor for the following:“The machine was rebuilt for the 1993 season by my father (who kept detailed records of his builds) and I recorded my first ever 90 mph lap of the TT course on a classic single in that year. In 1994 after a practice week engine rebuild (broken crankpin) I managed to complete the race at an average speed of 90.15 mph (not too shabby for a 6’6” bloke with no skill and weighing 16.5 stones).In 1999 after two more crankpin failures my father ordered and fitted a one-piece crankshaft manufactured as a one-off from Dave Nourish of NRE Engineering, Dave was a friend of my father.In 2001 a Mick Taberer drive side main bearing conversion kit was fitted which according to my father’s records included INA needle roller bearings.The engine’s last complete rebuild was in 2007 when a new liner along with piston and rings, main bearings, and big end shells were fitted the bike was then used at the 2008 MGP.Following the race in November 2008 the top end of the bike was stripped and rebuilt by my father, the bike was last used in July 2011 at a Mallory Park test day.”We are advised the lot will include numerous spares, spare PAL mag, pistons, bearings, sprockets, brake discs, fork tubes, transponder, flywheels, suits rev counter, etc. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: PKE 335F Frame No: 125LIS 877264 Engine No: 125LIS 877392 CC: 200 MOT: ExemptFull creation in 2007 at Rimini Lambretta CentreMany original Ancillotti period partsImpressive attention to detailUnique tribute scooter signed by the Ancillotto brothers in personV5C stating 125cc for use on UK roadsRimini Lambretta Centre was formed in Italy in 1994 by British scooter enthusiast Dean Orton and Italian Lambretta genius Paolo Catani in 1995 then known as Adriatica Lambretta opened its first shop in a small seaside town just north of the city of Rimini. 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.

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.
