Registration No: OSV 691 Frame No: 175TV2 210682 MOT: ExemptRunning very well and used regularly by the vendorOriginal TV175 barrel and carburettor fittedFitted with a number of tasteful accessoriesV5 for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta TV175 Series 2 was launched in October 1959. It had an engine based on the Li150 series but with 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 120km/h or 70mph 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 2 Li panels. Often referred to as the ‘tourer’ it had a superb performance coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors. Offered here, this Lambretta TV175 is a Series 2 with the engine number 175TV2 129984. We are advised the scooter is running ‘very well’ and has been in regular use by the vendor. The original TV175 barrel and carburettor are still fitted and there several tasteful accessories that are also present on the scooter. ‘OSV’ is offered with a current V5C for use on UK roads.

Registration No: DEY 436C Frame No: TV3 542916 MOT: ExemptCurrent owner for over 21 yearsGood numbers and a spare performance engine installedWell presentedV5C for use on UK roads This genuine British market TV200 is thought to have resided in and around the Haverford area its entire life. An expired Blue V5 Registration Document on file lists the scooter as a combination. However, we could not see any signs that it has ever sported a sidecar. Entering the current ownership in 2003 and believed to have been re-registered with its original registration number ‘DEY 436C’ that same year, the Lambretta has been treated to a degree of restoration and modernisation by Andy Francis Scooters in more recent times. Converted to 12-volt electrics, the TV200 sports an adjustable rear shock absorber and tubeless SIP wheel rims. The original engine forms part of the sale and retains its correct SH1/20 carburettor, AF exhaust, air box and cylinder cowl but the scooter is currently powered by a Spanish engine complete with a Rapido 200cc top end, 25mm Dellorto carburettor and SITO large bore exhaust. The ignition has been renewed and there are keys for the steering lock and toolbox. There Lambretta pleasingly retains many original parts including the front disc brake and original Giuliari seat with a new green cover. The scooter started up easily at the time of consignment and we are told ‘runs very well’. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

A very rare 1950s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms diver's wristwatch, circa 1955. Case numbered 1323. The 17 jewel automatic movement is an AS calibre 1361N, signed Blancpain. In circular stainless steel case with rotating bezel with black insert, case 41mm diameter. The black enamel dial signed ‘Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Rotomatic Incabloc’. The watch is accompanied by an extensive history file of service receipts with documentation and photographs detailing the restoration carried out by Blancpain in 2017. Provenance: This watch has a charming history as it has been owned by the vendor since 1957. We have his notes which give a brief history of the watch.Norman Malthouse was training to be a deep sea diver and, as a young man, he would save up his money to make his journey from Brentwood in Essex and travel on his Lambretta to the South of France each summer to Club Alpin Sous Marin in Cannes between 1954 and 1957. He recalls "During the summer of 1957 I was staying with friends and brushing-up my diving skills with one of the 'Club Alpine Sous-Marin' dive monitors having been instructed by him in '56. We were joined by two more people who were known to my friends as experienced divers and we set off in a small boat and headed for the rocks local to the Antheor lighthouse. All the chatting was in French of course, when one of these gentlemen turned to me, and in perfect English, said that he noticed that I did not have a dive watch. Next to no time he was taking his own watch off and offering it to me saying that he 'made them' and I could have this one at Factory price, this was an offer that I could not refuse." (The gentleman who gave him the watch was Jean-Jacques Fiechter, owner of Blancpain).“I have worn this watch every day since then and it is still keeping good time, and I still remember that person and his favour to me".

Lot 4007

1961 Vespa VBB Standard 150cc 4 Speed. Registration number: 864 XVN.It was imported into the UK in 2020 and UK registered on the 5th of March 2021.Serviced, repaired and restored by an ex-colleague of the vendor while working for ScootRS (a well known Vespa and Lambretta parts producer and restorer) between 2000 and 2016, supplying names such as SIP in Germany. The restorer, known as Mr. Chi, has built award winning scooters. He took the scooter back to bare metal and resprayed it in two pack paint with this amazing Ferrari red. At the same time, the engine was stripped down, rebuilt, new cables laid in and a 12v flywheel and stator conversion fitted.The scooter was restored in 2018 and is solid. No bubbling or raised paint. No slabs of filler laid under it. This was done properly. It retains the original 8" wheels which add to the value of these models in the eyes of a collector.Rides beautifully. It has not seen a salty road its entire life and has been garaged since its import to the UK.This scooter left the factory in Italy 63 yearsago. They need simple servicing from time to time and are remarkably tough,which is a great testament to theItalians and Piaggio. It has its original matching engine cases.If you already know or have owned a Vespa or Lambretta, you will know theirperformance. If you are unfamiliar, cruising along between 40mph and 50mph in 4th gear is a joy, beyond that is optimistic! They are a 2 stroke single cylinder design and need some understanding of adding 2% of 2 stroke oil to each fill up of petrol. Avoidadding a little extra to help 'lubricate' things more as it will likely hurt it mechanically rather than help. Stick to 2% and this scooter will out-live us all.MOT and tax exempt.To satisfy your knowledge of the vehicles condition please come down to our viewing days as follows before the auction day on the 28th of March.Saturday 16th March: 10am - 2pm, Monday 18th of March: 9am - 5pm, Tuesday 19th of March: 9am-7pm.

Lot 127

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

Lot 129

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: 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: WXG 936 Frame No: T1P02 7010 Engine No: T1P02 7053 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptExceptional restored conditionWithin the first 2100 Lambrettas ever madeCorrect numbers.76 years old and a very rare modelV5C for use on UK roadsThe Lambretta Model A or 125M as it was first called, was the first ever Lambretta launched on October 1947 and so began the legend that is Lambretta. During its sole year in production only 9669 were produced and it was subject to dozens of modifications in this short time. The 125M was never exported, had a 125cc engine, 3 speed gearbox and foot operated gear change. It has no suspension except a rubber block at the front. It had 7 inch wheels, later changed to 8 inch on the model B. Many of the parts were chrome plated and the overall design was extremely elegant, particularly the deco-style gear shift guide and the sweeping front mudguard. These machines are now very rare and there are very few registered for the road in the UK.Chassis number 7010 (numbering started at 5001). This extremely well-restored example in the correct colour and using the original parts or quality NOS replacements as specified by Casa Lambretta. One must remember that until only recent times new 7 inch tyres of the specification were impossible to find and remade parts were not in production. The scooter was sought out in Italy by avid collector and perfectionist Craig Robinson who acted fast to secure this fine example circa 2013. Our vendor was able to acquire it in 2021.We were able to see the scooter in full working condition at the time of consignment and as one can see from the photographs and accompanying video the condition is exceptional. These 1940s Lambrettas are tipped for rocketing collectability in the future and good examples are becoming hard to find and seldom come onto the market. Also supplied with the scooter is an exact replica handbook as reproduced by Tino Sacchi and the original sales brochure in first reprint with the number stamp which is also collectible in itself.

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.

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: Unregistered Frame No: 150Li 576810 Engine No: 150Li 749682 CC: 150 MOT: ExemptVery originalCorrect engine and frame numbersNOVA for UK registration and all import duties paidThe Lambretta Li Series 1 was 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 TV175 Series 1 had. 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

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 22/2/258767 Engine No: SX200/258901 CC: 198 MOT: ExemptOriginal all over including paintMany important original parts unique to the ‘Electronic’ present Rare Electronic version of the design icon by Nuccio Bertone acclaimed for his designs for Ferrari and LamborghiniCorrect numbers very closeNOVA for UK registration The DL200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters that rolled off of Innocenti’s production line in Milan. 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.

The SX range retained most styling features of the TV 175/200 Series III which 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 that 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 believed exported by a UK resident who lived in Italy. It was re-imported in 1999. In 2018 it is said in the history file to have been acquired by John Cooke ex of Eddie Grimstead who restored it in the style that you see today and showing only 4 miles since . The original speedometer is supplied with the scooter along with a matching helmet. Very presentable and in excellent working condition, as it was originally. The scooter has also been restored for practical and safe use in mind. The engine is standard 200cc and the original disc brake has been restored. The electronics are now on a 12 volt system and the wheels are tubeless SIP rims with new tyres. The scooter has been it seems to us to have been very well maintained and has MOTs and tax discs going back to the original importation from 1999. All keys are present and the scooter is ready to go.

A lightweight scooter it was marketed in the UK by Lambretta Concessionaires as ‘The Space Age Look for the year 2000’ in the space race era of the time in 1968. Despite a huge marketing campaign by Innocenti the Luna line sold poorly in general and this has resulted in a fairly scarce amount of survivors. It was one of the last scooters to come out of the famous Milan factory.A trend in recent times has been to customise the Luna Line scooters into road Tourers and this has been led largely by Dean at Rimini Lambretta Centre. A well-thought-out new engine (ONE 35) with a 135cc capacity has been refined over the last 10 years together with CASA Lambretta and has been tried and tested by Rimini staff on many long rides and rallies. The combination of compatible engineering components has resulted in a machine that can cruise at almost 70mph.Presented here is a 135cc Tourer that is reportedly using over £3500 in engine parts alone. The parts are pictured in this description and include: CASA engine casing polished by JW Polishing, a CASA 135cc top-end kit, CASA crank, Firefly 12v ignition, 5-speed CASA gearbox, Polini 24mm carburettor, CASA performance maxi box exhaust and BGM adjustable rear shock. The scooter also has a Vega style rear light set up and an inline Spare wheel on customised holder.The vendor has also registered the correct new capacity 135cc on the V5C registration document. He has also said that he has used the scooter often including recently and that it runs very well but may need some adjustment to the 5th gear which occasionally drops out. He informs us that a competent scooter mechanic will be able to solve this. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

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.

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.

It was said that you were never far from the helping hand of a trained Lambretta mechanic wherever you were.Presented here is a genuine original double sided dealers sign that was only distributed to dealers in Italy. The Blue colour denotes that it is the late 1950s to mid-1960s design that were made by Smalterie Lombarde of Milan. The condition is very good with the rubbers at the hanging points still in place. The enamel is good with a deep sheen and there are fewer scrapes and scuffs than you would expect of a sign of this age. The size is 90cm by 72cm. You have the scooter and wherever you park it can only be enhanced with a genuine part of Lambretta history.

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.

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.

Following the unreliable TV 175 Series 1, Lambretta went back to the drawing board to create one of its all-time greats: the Li. The Li was built as either a 125 or 150 using the bore/stroke dimensions of the preceding 'D' Series, producing 5.2hp and 6.5bhp respectively, while its new engine in over-bored form found its way into the revamped TV 175 Series 2 in 1959. The Li range was restyled along similar lines at the same time, with headlamp nacelle and faired-in handlebars, thus establishing the definitive Lambretta look that would endure until Italian production ceased in 1971.KAO, the Tiger, was owned by William Harris in 2009 and he undertook a full rebuild, there is a receipt for all the parts fitted at the time from The Scooter Warehouse.
