Registration No: JVA 173N Chassis No: VSE1T 0022064 MOT: ExemptOriginal Italian logbook from newOriginal paint all over with some overpaint and patinaIn largely original state with provenanceV5C present for use on UK roads The 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 1960’s. 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 10 HP 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 1970’s.Here we present an attractive and largely original Rally 200 in fine working condition at the time of consignment. A original Italian market model it comes with its registration book from new confirming its provenance. It was imported into the UK in 2006 and from the large number of MOTs (2006 until 2019) regular use and maintenance is evident since then. Mechanically, it is standard. It has had some over-paint which has been largely removed and could be improved further. It appears that the side panel stickers are original and were never overpainted. All the rubbers appear to be the original correct black type and the handgrips also appear to be the original grips. The floor runners and rubbers also appear original and the centre floor pad has the correct cross head screws. The seat is an original Rally seat with a padded and comfortable new cover, although original in appearance. The speedometer is an MPH replacement, the rear shock is a quality adjustable Bitubo. We were able to start the scooter and all was working superbly at the time of consignment. This can be seen in the video.The V5C is present.

Registration No: MOD 18F Frame No: SX200 845208 MOT: ExemptTransferable 'MOD' registration number valued at £3000British registered from newRestored by arguably the best in the businessCompletely standard on 6v pointsFeatured in 'Scootering' magazine V5C for use on the roadMany regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. 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 superb example, first registered in 1968 as 'MTD 41G' (now with registration number 'MOD 18F') was produced in 1967. The previous owner had restoration work done by Scootopia around 2014. It is the standard 200ccc on the original 6v points system and subject to a quality paint in the correct colours and has only done some 700 miles since 2014. The numbers are correct, as is the specification. The Giuliari seat has a quality original-looking 'Ox-blood' seat cover. The scooter was featured in a full article in 'Scootering' magazine issue 401, November 2019.The registration number 'MOD 18F' is within the correct period of SX200 production. The number is transferable, with the old number being held on retention. In summary, this example of the highly prized SX200 is one of the best we have handled. With a UK registration, a known standard of restoration, being completely standard and with a very cool and valuable number plate, it should arguably be guided higher than our estimate.

Registration No: 739 UXK Frame No: 175TV 222439 MOT: ExemptVery presentable in correct Tyrol Blue colourRunning very well at the time of consignmentV5 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 120 km/h or 70 mph 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.This presentable and fully operational (at the time of consignment) example was, in our opinion, probably British registered from new with a battery tray, Concessionaires badge and MPH speedometer, which shows 7,968 miles. The current owner has had the scooter since 2005 and is a well-known senior member of several Vintage scooter clubs in the UK. He has kept a fastidious book record of everything he has done on the scooter from 2007 to the present, right down to the oil changes! This record is supplied with the scooter. The numbers match correctly and it is in standard TV175 specification with its original Giuliari seat. The only upgrade that we could see is the conversion to 12v electronics and a later SH2/22 carburettor. All keys are present, including the original steering lock with its original flap. Again, we are told by the vendor that it rides as it should and we were able to see the scooter performing well at the time of consignment. It only comes to market because the vendor is now unable to ride it due to health problems, therefore the scooter is sensibly priced to sell.

Registration No: LST 410P Frame No: VSE1T 0029127 MOT: ExemptOriginal all over including paint in a rare Terracotta colourRemarkable conditionV5C present for use on UK roads The 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 41,700 were produced. The Rally also known as the queen of Vespas was a large performance step up from the earlier models of the 1960’s. 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 an astonishingly original example. As a USA specification model, it was imported from there into the UK in 2019. It was MOT’d then and our vendor has owned it since then and has never used it. As a US model it has its original MPH speedometer and comes with the indicators, mirrors and protruding rear light. These have been removed as a matter of taste but are included and could be easily reinstalled, the rear light being replaced with an Aprilia version is the only change that has been made to the entire machine. The fuel system is the US spec Autolube fuel mix. The scooter also has a rear rack with a backrest in a style which was only available in the US market. The petrol tank is clean and like new inside. Of course all keys are present as is the original tool kit. We could not see any non-standard or replacement part. Showing 8,569 miles on the odometer, we feel this is genuine. An utterly original time warp. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: 387 ALM Frame No: 201048 MOT: ExemptUK registered from newWith original blue logbookTransferable registration numberProject scooter chassisV5C for use on UK roadsDürkoppwerke's history began in 1867 when Heinrich Dürkopp started making sewing machines out of the backroom of a clockmakers shop. In 1870 they moved to their own premises in Bielefeld adding shoe making machines. In 1885 the firm began making bicycles and ball bearings. By 1898 the firm began making cars and motorcycles including the famous Knipperdolling small car. However after WW1 the company was in debt and the automobile division was sold to Mercedes Benz. Durkopp continued to make cylindrical bearings including for tanks and weapons during WW2. After the war the company jettisoned its bearings business and returned to sewing machines, bicycles and motorcycles including scooters.The Durkopp Diana scooter was launched in 1953 and was splashed across the headlines early in production when Miss Germany ‘won’ a Diana in 1954. It was extremely well built with sleek lines and was ahead of most of the competition with a powerful engine that produced 9.5 HP and the headlight on the handlebars. The later 194cc 4 speed Sport model produced 12 HP and could reach speeds of 100 km/h while the 171cc Sport TS version produced 10.8 HP. Weighing in at 150kg (330 lbs) the Diana had remarkable luxurious build quality all over. The electrics were Bosch 12 volt electric start (with kick start as back up) and used a number of fuses in a car style fusebox. The foot gear change could be knocked into neutral regardless of which gear you were in (positive neutral). Hella lights were as standard all over (the rear lights are the same as used on the Messerschmidt KR bubble cars). The attention to detail is impressive with small details such as chromed aluminium and rubber strips on the side panel edging to protect the side panels where they meet the chassis, heel strips to protect the side panels against passenger shoes, wide foot boards for the pillion and 4 floor strips each side for the riders feet. The large Denfeld dual seat was impressively sprung with comfortable support for the pillion. The embellishers on the side panels are chrome over brass. Apart from keys for the ignition, seat and tool box there was a further ‘secret key’ hidden from view in the upper part inside the tool box. A total of 24,963 Dianas in all forms were produced before production ended in 1962. In Great Britain Diana Concessionaires based in Molesworth, Surrey offered a range of optional accessories and had a service centre in Hampton Wick, Surrey. Available in 1961 for the princely sum of £219 10s 9d, it was more expensive than the Lambretta TV175 Series 2 (£189 17s 6d), or the Vespa GS (£188 8s 3d). In 1961 a road test by Scooter News Mechanics summarised that ‘the Diana in any of its forms was one of the best scooters made today’.Here we present a rare Mk2 TS Sport chassis with the fixed headlight. The original black paint is in very good condition and the chassis is virtually rust free.The original starter key is present as is the fuel tank. Despite not having an engine the scooter is fully road registered with modern V5C and the number plate is transferable. The full range of parts needed including engine are all available (except a seat) in Lot XX. Only for sale as the vendor can no longer use it due to his age.

Registration No: ALC 707A Frame No: 521926 MOT: ExemptComprehensively maintainedUsed regularly until recentlySupplied with spare original engineV5C 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. This presentable and fully operational example was, in our opinion, British registered from new. The vendor has had the scooter since 2007 and is a well known senior member of several vintage scooter clubs in the UK. He has kept a fastidious record of everything he has done on the scooter from 2007 to the present day, this record is supplied with the scooter. The engine was changed for a GP200 engine and we are told by the vendor that 'it runs beautifully'. We noted that all the good original parts are there including the front disc braked Giuliari seat with faux leopard cover. The original rough sound deadening paint is still visible on the rear mudguard and on the inside of the side panels. It has been converted to 12v electronics and has quality Continental whitewall tyres. An accessory leg shield box has been added and all keys for the scooter are present. We were able to start and run the scooter at time of consignment. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: HAU 351N Frame No: V5A1T 846586 MOT: ExemptAn opportunity acquire one of the rarest Vespas ever produced.Excellent restoration by Disco Dez ScootersOriginal British registered VespaFully running on original V5A2M engine Magazine featured exampleV5C for immediate use on the roadThe Vespa Pedali V5A1T was created in 1971 with the French market in mind. The regulations there meant that pedals were required to allow the mopeds into the bicycle category and thus required no license plate. The 49.77cc 2 stroke engine with a standard kickstart also incorporated a special chain mechanism with pedals that drove the unique rear hub and propelled the scooter forward in this fashion. It could also be used with the kickstart as a standard scooter. Much else was like a standard Vespa 50 with coil spring and hydraulic shock absorber on both wheels. The other noticeable difference was that the special frame was narrowed at the footboards to allow pedalling and a cover attached to protect the chain sprocket mechanism at the front. The rear hub was also a completely unique design also to allow a sprocket to catch the rear drive of the chain. It was the only Vespa built with theses unique features and these models are extremely collectible amongst serious Vespa collectors. Some models were sold new in Italy and Great Britain but this was a very rare occurrence. This model is also unique in that it is the only Vespa in more modern times to have never been fitted with a brake light due to the bicycle category it fell into. It is unfortunate however that in many cases the owners simply disconnected the pedals and threw them away.This 50 Pedalo is a very rare find indeed. She is on the UK DVLA system as first registered January 1975. From this we can deduce that she was sold new in the UK at that time. She was discovered by 2 Wheeled engineering of Nottingham who sold the scooter to our vendor. She has since been treated to a very high quality restoration by Disco Dez Scooters in the correct Vespa yellow colour of time after being discovered in a blue colour. She has had the full works as a standard scooter including a fully rebuilt standard engine on 6V Points, new cables, lights, speedometer, brakes and wiring. Throughout she is like new and we were able to start the scooter on first kick and our consultant was able to ride the scooter on the road. The entire pedal system is as the original with the correct Way pedals, new chain and all correct running gear. The spindle was remade by an engineer as an exact copy of the original that was sourced. All of the badges are original and the lights front and rear are correct originals. The seat is the correct style of seat for the era. To give an idea of the rarity of the pedal mechanism parts Disco Dez, one of the most connected people in the world of scootering, has taken 5 years to find the parts get this scooter finished. This is a must for any serious Vespa collection. This most rare and sought after Vespa model seldom comes onto the market.

Registration No: FEA 119C Frame No: TV3 551373 MOT: ExemptFront cover star scooter for Scootering Magazine August 2006Good numbers and in great conditionHuge amount of accessoriesVery presentableThe 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.Sadly, from a deceased estate this TV200 is a British sold version with battery tray and is a well presented example painted in a very high quality deep paint scheme of Paul Smith’ design. The numbers are correct for a TV200 and the month of manufacture from TV200 Club records is July 1965. The scooter has been on display indoors as pride of place for many years and this has resulted in the paintwork being in very good conditions can be seen from the photographs. A well known scooter on the Birmingham mod scene in the 2000s it has been the subject of detailed decoration and appears to be in super condition. In 2006 the scooter appeared in a double page spread article and indeed on the front cover of Scootering Magazine and a copy of the magazine is provided with the lot. The speedometer appears to be original and correct. The ignition also looks original with a 133 key number. The engine turns but we did not attempt to start it as it was indoors but we are told it was running when it was put inside. Certainly the engine casing appears to have done very little work and is in great condition with the correct SHI/20 original Dellorto carburettor present. The scooter has had a quality Ducati CD1 12 volt conversion. Keys are present for the ignition and inside leg shield tool box which is an Ulma style version. The ignition key has what appears to be an original Esso Tiger fob. The tyres are quality Continental whitewalls.In addition to the attractive paintwork, where the scooter really shines is in the myriad of original and reproduction accessories that adorn this machine. Collectively these accessories would take a long time to collect and certainly have a high monetary value too. The list is substantial but includes: Triple Fiamm original air horns facing to the rear, double air horns in the tool box, a quality leopard design Pegasus seat (possibly of Rimini origin), an Ulma style horncast badge, Ulma style Florida bars, Ulma style double legshield trim, An original Ulma front rack adorned with original spotlights which is a mix of 3 original Radyots with orange lenses, 6 big original Miller spotlights and a big Stadium spotlight. There are also original Desmo badges. To the front the fork boots are possibly original Super versions without badges, and the dampers have white rubber gaiters and the bumper bar is an original Vigano correct series 3 type. There are attractive period bullet lights underslung each side in a triple cluster. To the rear there is a registration plate surround and accessory side lights. The rear rack appears to be an original Nannucci sold Cuppini rack and the spare wheel held there has an original Vigano Turbo wheel disc and spinner. The mirrors are Biemme original rectangular and Metalplast style round mirrors.The rubber parts all appear to be original and in matching green for the hand grips, brake rubber, stand and kick start rubbers and mudflap. The handlebars are finished off with original tassles.As previously mentioned this is a deceased estate sale and unfortunately the documents could not be found. However the scooter is on the DVLA system so registration should not be an issue and we have performed an HPI check which returned fine.

Registration No: UJT 377S Frame No: 44974 MOT: ExemptThe screen-used scooter from the 1979 cult movie Quadrophenia No replica, the actual real deal scooter Also featured in ‘The Grand Mod Experience’ by Carol HarrisonExtensive provenance fileOriginal Allstyle accessories still attachedRunning well and offered with a V5 for use on the roadThe cult status of The Who’s 1979 'rock opera' film Quadrophenia needs no introduction and its appeal grows ever stronger as the years go by. A magical infusion of culture with its distinctive working-class '60s Mod appeal starring predominantly unknown starlets who later largely shot to huge fame including Sting, Toyah Wilcox, Lesley Ash, Phil Daniels, John Altman, Phil Davis and many more in this gritty masterpiece directed by a young Frank Roddam for The Who Films produced by Bill Curbishley and Roy Baird. In a later interview with actor Phil Davis who played 'Chalky' - ‘the ponce’, he recalled how the young actors learned to ride on mopeds as they had no access to the scooters until the filming started.The comedic, almost tragic, moment when 'Chalky’s' scooter (played by Phil Davis) crashes into some bins when he was run off the road by Rockers, as the Mods were entering Brighton, is one of the many unforgettable highlights of the film (officially known as 'Scene 66 - Road to Brighton' in the film script) - '"It looked good from back there", said Jimmy as they left Chalky lying by the road to fend for himself ' - And this is one of the most endearing features about this scooter. There was only one, unlike Sting's scooter where multiple replacements were waiting in the wings, 'Chalky’s' (Phil Davis) scooter saw real action and had to be patched up multiple times after many takes. It is noticeable how poor some of the continuity was and a keen eye will notice how the headset on 'Chalky’s' scooter changes from a rectangular GP to SX type and back again. The corresponding forks also had to be changed and then back again once more. The same with the mirrors, which also changed positions. In researching this, it is because most of the Brighton scenes were filmed first and the London scenes later. To make the original GP look more period, the SX head set was added and the early '60s prop registration number 'DCB 647'. According to our vendor, it was so damaged in early filming that the old GP's rectangular item had to be put back on. The scene where 'Chalky' rides out of Brighton with ‘Monkey’ (Toyah Wilcox) on the back, we see again the SX head-set, so this was filmed before the aforementioned scene 66 where the main damage occurred. We are delighted to say that the original GP head-set top is still with the scooter and is included in the lot.How this scooter has survived and is actually still here is another story and involves the vendor being in the right place at the right time - twice! In 1978, the Dorset-based Modrapheniacs Scooter Club was a large and very active club, particularly as this was a very early time in the ‘Mod Revival’. As a club, they headed to the Southend Mod Rally in 1978 and it is here that the first breakthrough happened. 'UJT 377S', a SIL GP150, was purchased the year before by club newcomer Scott Willis. Bill Curbishley and Frank Roddam were at the Southend rally looking for material, extras and scooters for their upcoming film. Four scooters were chosen from the group; 'Jimmy’s' Li150, a Pink GP owned by our vendor (later seen in the film at 'Goldhawk'), a Jet 200 owned by Rob ‘Yob’ Williams and the scooter we present here, 'Chalky’s' White GP150 owned by Scott Willis. They were each paid £300 for the hire of their scooters and were also later invited to work as extras for £20 a day. Our vendor was known as ‘Mod 12’ and is also mentioned in the book ‘Quadrophenia - The Complete Guide, by Layne Patterson’.The scooters were returned following the filming. Scott Willis was very unhappy with the condition of the scooter which was returned to him with missing side panels and a broken headset amongst other damage. He complained to the film company who subsequently sent him £400, enough to buy a new scooter in 1979! The damaged scooter was then sold to our vendor for £100 and swiftly tidied-up with rattle-can paint. The scooters attended the premiere of Quadrophenia which was held at The Plaza in Regent Street, London on the 16th August 1979 which was attended by The Who - without recently deceased Keith Moon, stars, the cast and crew. Our vendor rode the scooter there! The original entrance ticket, signed at the premiere by Phil Daniels and Bob Geldof, is included with the lot.One must remember that despite the initial youth appeal during the Mod revival of the early 1980s, the real cult status of the film came many years later. Our vendor removed the accessories and sold the scooter to his friend Phil Cheney, who subsequently sold it to the Blue Diamond Scooter Club in 1983 before being acquired by a lady named Sheryl. It then disappeared until it was seen at a 1994 scooter parts fair on the stand of Bedlam Scooters. Our vendor, being one of the only people who knew what it was, spotted the registration number and bought the scooter back for the second time for what he says were 'nostalgic reasons'. That was the second time he was in the right place at the right time.Many years later, in 2019, he was contacted by Carol Harrison, producer of all things Mod, including ‘All or Nothing - The Musical’, who was organising a Quadrophenia reunion and the ‘Grand Mod Experience’ for the Cancer Research charity at the August 2019 bank holiday Mod gathering, The Grand Hotel Brighton. He was asked if he would bring 'Chalky’s' scooter to the show to exhibit, which he did. Just prior to the event, the scooter went through South West Scooters in Yeovil, who returned it to its Quadrophenia appearance and attached the original accessories our vendor had kept for all of those years. These included the mirrors, Cuppini rear and front racks, front crash bars and Ulma front bumper which are all the original pieces (although the flyscreen is a similar replacement but with the original fur). As of 2024, the scooter is 'in good running order' and still with its original SIL GP150 engine, which fired-up easily on our visit. It has a current V5 and can be used on the road.As one of the principal scooters in one of the most important cult films of our times, this scooter and its part in contemporary popular culture, together with the provenance that accompanies, should be of major interest to collectors of rock memorabilia and historical scooters.https://youtu.be/8e81BDzm6Dw For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: 729 XVX Frame No: VT60306 MOT: ExemptRestored and very presentable exampleEngine overhaul by Matthew PhillipsV5C present for use on UK roads Motovespa from Ciudad, near Madrid had been manufacturing Vespas under license since 1956, broadly manufacturing models in line with the Italian ranges. Here we present a very attractive example that has been the subject of a restoration and a mechanical overhaul by Matthew Phillips, arguably the UK's leading engine expert on wide frame Vespas, using all period and correct parts. It is still a standard and correct V56 ACMA 125 and running on 6v points. As a lovely touch, the scooter comes with its original owner's plaque with the name of Mr Alonso. Our vendor imported it directly from a relative of the original owner from its original home town of Igualada, a suburb of Barcelona. Our vendor imported it in 2022, in the Metallic Green colour as we see it now. In addition to having it overhauled he has taken it through the UK registration process and it is now ready to enjoy on the road. The scooter appears to consist of almost all of its original parts and includes some attractive accessories. Everything appears to work well and our consultant was able to ride the scooter some distance to confirm this at the time of consignment. A V5C is present for use on UK roads.

Registration No: OGU 801D Frame No: VSC1T 0014622 MOT: ExemptSuperb restored exampleProfessionally specified engineeringAppears standard V5 present for use on UK roads The 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 tool box 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 35,700 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 was purchased by our vendor 18 years ago. He is a very well-respected engineer who is sought-after for his Vespa engine work. This is one of the finest from his own collection. A brand new Pinasco 200cc complete engine casing was sourced, the chosen power plant was a Polini 180 cylinder and barrel with a Temeni 60mm crank taking the capacity up to 221cc. In our vendor's words, 'the scooter is easily capable of 70mph and with a level of reliability unknown to most SS180 machines.The bodywork was also subject to the full works in the style of a Grimstead Hurricane. The handling aspect is covered on the front end by a SIP hydraulic adjustable damper for excellent road holding and new Conti Twist tyres. The seat is a SIP quality new Aquila correct-style replica. All keys are present for the original Neimann steering lock and Zadi toolbox lock. Decoratively, the scooter is finished off with superbly fitting Scootopia Ulma-style Florida bars and a Feridax-style screen with correct end-dome nuts. Naturally, we were able to see the scooter in full running condition at the time of consignment. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: FHJ 472D Frame No: SX200 835548 MOT: ExemptStandard 200cc tuned to over 15hp by Shiny Red TuningConserved to appear as standardV5C for use on UK roadsMany regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. 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 head set 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. Our vendor is a well-known race team owner and self-confessed speed addict. His lifetime work has been developing specialist vehicles and he owned a specialist vehicle design house from 1985 to 2002. The scooter has been tuned in the 1960s style with a standard cylinder that has been professionally polished to stage 4 at the ports. We have included the dyno graphs (on file). The original air box and filter has been retained, as have most of the original parts all over the machine.On inspection, we noted the following: The original Giuliari seat with its original 'Ox-blood' cover is in exceptional condition, all keys are present, the original tools and tool roll are present, the side panels are original Italian, as are all of the panels and badges that we could see. The general appearance is of an original-looking and well-used, but not perfect-looking machine and we are told this is intentional as the scooter is something of 'a wolf in sheep’s clothing'.

Registration No: 874 ALF Frame No: DA21358 MOT: ExemptAttractive original patina Completely renewed LML engineLondon to Brighton participantV5C for immediate useThe Vespa Douglas 152L2 was released in 1959 as Douglas began to source more parts from Piaggio to keep aligned to the changes in scooter style that were coming from Italy. The performance of the 125cc rotary engine was an improvement on the previous 92L2 and the cast handlebars were the signs of a new era in styling for the 1960's.'874 ALF' is an interesting 1961 example having had a brand new unstamped LML engine with a complete rebuild of all new parts to the tune of £1,172 in parts alone. Upon examination of the very many and detailed parts bills (supplied and on file) it is noted that the scooter remains a 125cc scooter, however, one imagines with a greatly improved performance over the original 152L2 engine. This scooter competed in the annual London to Brighton run in 2014. The overall appearance is of an original machine with no touch-ups and a professionally restored original Denfeld (Douglas specified) seat to complement.We have seen the scooter in fine running condition. If someone is looking for a very cool-looking sixties iconic scooter with bags of patina running an ‘as new’ engine with proven learner 125cc capacity they could do far worse than this example.

Registration No: SEU 295D Frame No: VNL2T52101 MOT: ExemptThis is the screen used Vespa from the film production 'Alfie' (2004)As ridden by Jude Law with Sienna Miller as pillionProvenance with Paramount Pictures Ltd and director Charles Shyer on the old V5The cult film ‘Alfie’ elevated Michael Caine's Hollywood stature in 1966, Alan Price played the role in the 1975 sequel 'Alfie Darling', before Jude Law portrayed 'Alfie' in the 2004 re-make of the original, alongside Susan Sarandon and Sienna Miller. 'Alfie' (2004) was directed by Charles Shyer, whose previous credits included ‘Private Benjamin’ and ‘Father of the Bride’ and had a Paramount Studios budget of $60 million. Director Charles Shyer’s name also appears with the keeper details ‘Paramount Pictures Ltd’ and ‘Untitled Charles Shyer Project’ on this scooter's old blue V5. The registration and chassis number also correspond.This Vespa also includes ‘scooter royalty’ in its own history, as the Scooter Emporium sourced it from Nigel Cox of the Lambretta Museum who in turn imported it from Italy and whose name also appears on the old blue V5. Filming was predominantly in locations in England which doubled for New York City and it is surmised that the scooter never left the UK for any of the USA filming, an old scooter frame on a dolly being used in addition. The 1966 model was chosen for historical symmetry with the year of the first version of the film.The scooter is said to have been used as a distinct ‘character prop’ in the film, rather than just in the background, being seen in multiple scenes as 'Alfie's' personal mode of transport. It is said that actor Jude Law actually rode it in scenes rather than reliance on a stunt performer. After filming wrapped, Piaggio used the images from the film to launch their new GTI range in 2005. 'SEU 295D' was subsequently purchased by one of the film crew and ended up down in Cornwall. Unused and abandoned for 20 years, it is now ready for a film prop or scooter collector looking for a machine with an interesting history. There is a current V5C present along with the aforementioned old blue V5. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: 297 YUG Frame No: VB1T85296 MOT: ExemptImpressive custom creation by a renowned Vespa expertClassic Scooterist magazine featuredA subtle blend of old and newPrecision engineered detail all overPinstriping by the late John ‘Letterknight’ V5C and ready for the roadWe present here an intriguing custom vintage incarnation based on an early 1958 VB1 (known in the UK as a Clubman) and a performance 221cc Pollini engined conversion of a VSE1M 200 engine. There are many impressive innovations throughout. The ‘Clubman’ immediately followed the last of the VL models models retaining their classic lines and wasp like shape but with a headlight mounted on the handlebars and a closer nod to the already famous GS range.This project was said to be at the time the piece de resistance by the vendor and is famous in scootering circles in the East Midlands scooter groups. He is a very well respected engineer and fabricator highly sought after for his Vespa engine work in the East Midlands. It took 12 months to compete. It is difficult to know where to start with this fabulous creation as there are so many innovations all over the machine that dovetail and complement each other. Based on a VB1 frame which was chosen for its dainty shape as a ‘mini GS’ and the attractiveness of the clamshell speedometer. The side panel has an ingenious spring loaded rear catch utilising a seat catch The paintwork was done after all correct preparation by Craig at The Scooter Paint Shop and pinstriped by the late John ‘Letterknight’ famous for his hand paint work on narrowboats.The scooter and engine were both sourced directly in the UK. Many original parts were retained including: The original frame and body panels were not modified in shape throughout except with a modification to the front mudguard to accept the upgraded front shock and original handlebar assembly on which has been specially engraved an extra 4th gear. The PX forks with 10 inch wheel were modified to take the GS style Clubman headset. The front brakes are a PX disc with SIP hydraulic caliper and with braided hose on the cable we are informed it 'stops on a tanner’. The wheels are stainless split rim type with new condition Conti Twist tyres.The engine has been modified with a Polini 180 cylinder and barrel and a 60mm Temeni crank taking the capacity up to 221cc. The exhaust is a SIP Road 2 with specially extended tailpipe. The choke is positioned in an offset position to suit the new engine. We are told by the vendor that the performance is extremely good and the scooter will cruise at 60MPH but will go to 70MPH quite easily whenever necessary. He said it is lovely to ride and feels safe. The electrics have been converted to a quality Ducati 12v system with Cdi and the regulator is hidden well inside the side tool box which is rubber lined on the tool box floor. The seat is a specially bespoke made wide ‘Super Gandolphi’ style with pinball type catch. It was covered with a soft fluted trim by revered trim expert Richard Flavell. Other innovations that we noticed were that there is now an extra tool box in the former carburettor compartment and a specially made auxiliary fuel tank within the spare wheel positioned inside the leg shield which holds exactly 2 litres of fuel. The scooter is enhanced by a retractable side saddle step, a sprint type rack and and engineered stainless mudflap. The scooter was the focus of an article in ‘Classic Scooterist’ magazine in June 2012. We were able to see the scooter running well as can be seen by the below video taken at the time of consignment.

Registration No: 244 LHT Frame No: 130117 MOT: ExemptBritish registered from new with complete historyWith original buff logbookTransferable registration number194cc versionV5C for use on UK roadsDürkoppwerke's history began in 1867 when Heinrich Dürkopp started making sewing machines out of the backroom of a clockmakers shop. In 1870 they moved to their own premises in Bielefeld adding shoe making machines. In 1885 the firm began making bicycles and ball bearings. By 1898 the firm began making cars and motorcycles including the famous Knipperdolling small car. However after WW1 the company was in debt and the automobile division was sold to Mercedes Benz. Durkopp continued to make cylindrical bearings including for tanks and weapons during WW2. After the war the company jettisoned its bearings business and returned to sewing machines, bicycles and motorcycles including scooters.The Durkopp Diana scooter was launched in 1953 and was splashed across the headlines early in production when Miss Germany ‘won’ a Diana in 1954. It was extremely well built with sleek lines and was ahead of most of the competition with a powerful engine that produced 9.5hp and the headlight on the handlebars. The later 194cc 4 speed Sport model produced 12hp and could reach speeds of 100 km/h while the 171cc Sport TS version produced 10.8hp. Weighing in at 150kg (330 lbs) the Diana had remarkable luxurious build quality all over. The electrics were Bosch 12 volt electric start (with kick start as back up) and used a number of fuses in a car style fusebox. The foot gear change could be knocked into neutral regardless of which gear you were in (positive neutral). Hella lights were as standard all over (the rear lights are the same as used on the Messerschmidt KR bubble cars). The attention to detail is impressive with small details such as chromed aluminium and rubber strips on the side panel edging to protect the side panels where they meet the chassis, heel strips to protect the side panels against passenger shoes, wide foot boards for the pillion and 4 floor strips each side for the riders feet. The large Denfeld dual seat was impressively sprung with comfortable support for the pillion. The embellishers on the side panels are chrome over brass. Apart from keys for the ignition, seat and tool box there was a further ‘secret key’ hidden from view in the upper part inside the tool box. A total of 24,963 Dianas in all forms were produced before production ended in 1962. In Great Britain Diana Concessionaires based in Molesworth, Surrey offered a range of optional accessories and had a service centre in Hampton Wick, Surrey. Available in 1961 for the princely sum of £219 10s 9d, it was more expensive than the Lambretta TV175 Series 2 (£189 17s 6d), or the Vespa GS (£188 8s 3d). In 1961 a road test by Scooter News Mechanics summarised that ‘the Diana in any of its forms was one of the best scooters made today’.Here we present a rare matching numbers Mk2 TS Sport with the fixed larger Hella headlight. Registered new on 30th January 1961 by Kings Motors of Bristol, it was acquired by our vendor 54 years ago in 1970. We are informed by the vendor that it was in full running condition when parked up. We are told that this scooter recently had a new chain and Hepolite piston fitted. This is the version with the larger VDO speedometer which incorporates the ignition warning light and headlight indicator. Probably unique to a scooter in 1961, the Mk2 Sport had a headlight ‘flasher’ located on the handlebar with the lights switch and horn control. All original keys are present, not copies. Everything is original. The mileage is currently 23255 and genuine as backed up by the supplied MOT in 1970. The original buff log book is present giving us full history from new. The scooter is fully road registered with modern V5C and the number plate is transferable. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: T.B.A MOT: ExemptGenuine Italian built. Verified by the VVC archivistAttractive combinationOriginal accessories The VBA range of Vespas were the immediate successors to the long running ‘handlebar’ scooters of the 1950s and in the UK was the successor to the 152l2 and had cast handlebars like the GS. The VBA had a completely redesigned body and engine which formed the basis for decades of future Vespas. The engine was a rotary inducted design which improved reliability, gave more power but reduced fuel consumption and required less oil in the fuel mix. The carburettor was relocated to a position just above the engine. The whole package was a much more professional-looking machine whilst retaining many similar features of the desirable lines of the GS with its cast handlebars. The later VBA models with 150 engine were sold in the UK with leg shield trim, Clamshell speedometer and and GS style rear light. Today, the VBA is an appealing Vespa and an appreciating model.This VBA combination was purchased as a present for the vendor's wife who fell in love with it. It had been recently restored when they bought it and had apparently done 200 miles since. The couple have recently decided to emigrate and are unfortunately not going to get it on the road. They have never used it. It is unknown where it has been as there are no documents with it. The chassis number area is unclear and were unable to see the chassis number clearly. However, before the auction when the scooter it is delivered to the venue we will have another go at revealing the numbers. In the meantime, we are able to confirm that it is indeed Pontedera-built as the clear stamped batch number inside the chassis tells us, and is almost certainly imported from Italy. The engine number is also consistent with this. Our consultant was able to see the scooter running by the direct application of fuel into the bore, it will, however, require a light commissioning of the fuel system. The sidecar looks to be in good condition. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
Registration No: NAV 222F Frame No: SX200 840349 MOT: ExemptStraight out of the garage rally going machineMany performance upgradesV5C for use on the roadMany regard the SX200 to be the finest scooter Innocenti produced, and possibly regarded as the best scooter ever made. 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 interesting example is a genuine Italian SX200 first registered in the UK in 2005. It has been in regular use since then. The original engine, however, was removed and replaced with an unstamped upgraded engine. We are told it has a Mugello 200cc top end and rides superbly. It was taken to Italy and partook in the national Italian Club rally in Rapello in 2016. It has been converted to a Tino Sacchi 12v variatronic ignition and sports a Dellorto 28mm carburettor with JML Road exhaust. The rear shock is a quality adjustable version. The original front disc brake is standard. As far as we could see, all of the panels throughout are original first generation Innocenti SX200 panels and the rear frame badge is original, in our opinion. The seat is an original Giuliari with a replacement cover. The speedometer is a replacement MPH Veglia version. This is an honest straight out of the garage machine in good running condition at the time of consignment. All genuine SX200 save the engine, this could represent an extremely good buy for someone at the very reasonable reserve.

Registration No: 812 XVF Frame No: 28541 150D MOT: ExemptOn the ASI historical registerCompleted the London to Brighton ride 2022V5 and ready to use on UK roadsThe Lambretta Model D Mk1 was first introduced in 1951 as a successor to the Model C as a 125cc scooter. It had a tubular frame and because the engine did not now have to support the 2 halves as the C did, the engine could now move and had the addition of a torsion bar. This feature remained on all Lambrettas until 1958. The D also had springs enclosed in the front forks. The rear brake was rod-operated and the gears used a single teleflex cable. The whole ride experience was much improved and the D was subsequently a very popular model. By the time of the Mk3 the rear brake was cable-controlled, there was a fan on the flywheel forcing air onto the cylinder for improved engine cooling. The gear system now used 2 teleflex cables and there was a rear shock absorber on the rear end. With its larger 150cc engine, the Mk3 is sometimes referred to as the sports model and was often used for trials and other races.This excellent example has been professionally restored to the extremely strict level of quality required by the ASI historical register in Italy. On close examination the paint is unblemished and all over the machine we can see that careful attention has been paid to all aspects of the scooter. Needless to say that any parts that may have been required in the restoration would usually have been high-quality Casa Lambretta parts and the scooter appears ‘as new’. Of note can see several attractive and useful accessories. Notably a very rare Elmer steering lock, Veglia MPH speedometer, Pittoti style passenger foot rests and helmet hook. The ‘butty box’ has its key. The tyres are the quality Continental whitewall version.These later Mk3 D models are super little things to ride and surprisingly quick. The popularity of the open frame Lambrettas in Italy it is said was largely due to the feeling of freedom in the hot weather with the wind able to keep you cool. This scooter is as presentable of the most desirable version of a model D as one can get. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

1960 Velocette LE, 200cc. Registration Number 400 THK, Frame Number 1976/34, Engine Number 1976/3. Sold with V5C (non-transferable number), previous test certificate, original service manual and several LE Velo Club magazines. Launched in 1948, as the 'motorcycle for everyman', the Velocette LE addressed the criticisms most often levelled at motorcycles - that they were noisy, dirty and needed special clothing to ride - achieving impressive levels of silence, comfort and practicality. Sadly for the LE, its arrival coincided with the start of the scooter boom; asked to compete against Italian style, Velo's ugly duckling never stood a chance, even after the side valve flat twin's performance had been boosted by a capacity increase from 149 to 192cc in 1950. It was, however, a big success with UK Police forces - for whom its attributes were more important than its appearance - gaining the sobriquet 'Noddy Bike' as a result. Acquired by our vendor in 2018, and in very nice restored condition, we are informed that it starts and rides well. The coolant has been drained for storage and must be refilled prior to any future use.
2013 Honda Forza NSS300 Scooter, 279cc. 14,338 Miles. Registration Number LN63 XEJ. Vin Number MLHNF04B7D5002270, Engine Number NF04E2004165.Sold with V5c, Current MOT, Owners Pack, Datatag pack, old MOTs.In 1954 Honda, shortly after the company was established, launched the 220cc Juno K scooter. 1962 saw the advent of the 125cc Juno M80; both machines shared a Badalini-type hydraulic-mechanical transmission and Honda's desire to build in comfort, convenience and fun.The early 1980s saw huge growth in the popularity of small capacity scooters in Japan. In 1984 Honda debuted the 250cc single-cylinder Freeway, a scooter designed for rider and passenger to enjoy ‘further and faster', and 1986 saw the Fusion join the market. The 250cc, single-cylinder Foresight launched in 1996 was labeled as a ‘Sports Scooter', and blended agile performance with a comfortable ride. A 125cc version was sold in Europe as the Pantheon.Honda went on to help establish the market for larger capacity scooters by developing the 250cc-300cc class in the late ‘90s. The original Forzascooter, unveiled in 2000, delivered a sporty ride, combined brakes and plenty of storage room. It was well received in Europe, where owners found its multi-role capability great for getting to work or college, and also for leisure. A continuous development program resulted in the 2013 NSS300, launched in 2013.XEJ has been recently MOT tested, starts instantly, is running really well. It provided a very comfortable ride on test around our car park. The vendor is only selling due to lack of use. It is described as being in good condition, and comes with Oxford heated grips, a Givi top box and Datatag security. With excellent luggage capacity a nippy engine, CVT transmission and good handling, the Forza would make the perfect commuter bike, or a great comfortable tourer for a rider with compromised agility.
1959 NSU Prima III KL Scooter, 150cc, Registration Number TRV 840, Frame Number 2356912, Engine Number 3427244.Sold with V5C and a large history file including cancelled buff logbooks and copies thereof, a large selection of manuals, brochures, and other information.The German representative of 1950s European scooter mania, NSU was a motorcycle and automobile brand created in 1873 in Riedlingen Donau by two young technicians named Stoll and Schmidt. They first manufactured knitting machines, then produced bicycles in the new address in Neckarsulm, named after a nearby river. NSU bicycles quickly became popular and production shifted to motorcycles in 1901. The 1.5 bhp engine was imported from Zedel in Switzerland. In 1903, they designed their own engine and created their first two-speed planetary transmission before World War I. In 1904, they marketed six different models of motorcycles. NSU introduced its popular 3 bhp 61 cu.in. V-twin engine in 1905. The same year, they turned to manufacturing automobiles and light trucks. They produced vehicles for the army during World War I. In 1923, the 8/24 model automobile with an aluminum body was introduced, although the economic recession led the automobile department to be sold to FIAT in 1928.NSU returned to manufacturing bicycles in 1931. Adam Opel’s bicycle organization was purchased and the Quickly and Pony motor bicycles were introduced. At the start of the 1950s scooter boom, NSU obtained a licence to manufacture the Lambretta scooter, which was marketed as the "Prima". The Prima III was produced from 1957 to 1962. The 9.5 bhp single-cylinder engine propelled it to 56 mph with two riders.TRV was bought from auction by our vendor. It appears to be in very original and unmolested condition. It has subsequently been treated to a mechanical overhaul including a correct Bing carburettor, 10 thou over rebore with new old stock piston, and the coil and stator plate being rebuilt at considerable expense by specialist Readspeed.This was in anticipation of an extended road trip which was unfortunately cancelled due to lockdown. The bike has not been used since, but should be a straightforward job to recommission and put into use.

Engine number 107293.Sold with the V5C and key, 2016 MOT and list of rebuild cost.Post war machines were based on four-stroke singles and parallel twins. From this came the famous World Championship winning San Remo. It takes it's name from it's victorious debut at the 1947 Ospedaletti Grand Prix near San Remo. Gilera rode these fast machines himself and broke many records with them.In 1969 the company was bought out by the Piaggio Group, constructors of the Vespa scooter. It developed new 49cc-125cc two-stroke bikes as well as continuing to develop the original Gilera four-stoke range.This machine was first registered with DVLA in 2016 when our vendor subjected it to a total restoration. The engine has been rebored and all bearings replaced, the frame has been powder coated.There is a video available of it running.

From the collection of noted collector, the late Ken Senior1965 Velocette 192cc LE MkIIIRegistration no. DUU 37CFrame no. 7234/34Engine no. 7722/3 (see text)Launched in 1948, as the 'motorcycle for everyman', the Velocette LE addressed the criticisms most often levelled at motorcycles - that they were noisy, dirty and needed special clothing to ride - achieving impressive levels of silence, comfort and practicality. Sadly for the LE, its arrival coincided with the start of the scooter boom; asked to compete against Italian style, Velo's ugly duckling never stood a chance, even after the sidevalve flat twin's performance had been boosted by a capacity increase from 149 to 192cc in 1950 with the introduction of the MkII. 'DUU 37C' is an example of the MkIII which was introduced for 1959, its principal improvement being a four-speed, foot-change gearbox with kick-starter. In addition, the speedometer, ammeter and light switch were moved from the leg shield to the headlamp shell. The original green logbook shows that the LE was supplied new to the Metropolitan Police, passing into civilian ownership in 1970. A change of engine to '7722/3' is recorded in 1968. Our vendor acquired the LE in 1995. Additional documentation consists of a photocopy old V5, an old-style V5C and an information sheet. Careful recommissioning is advised before returning the machine to the road.

c.1975 Cimatti 50cc X15Registration no. not registeredFrame no. S5*263024*Engine no. unable to locateCimatti was founded in Bologna in 1937 by gold medal-winning Olympic cyclist Marco Cimatti. Not surprisingly, the company manufactured bicycles at first, only turning to powered two-wheelers in 1950. The firm prospered and its products were widely exported, being sold in the USA through the Gambles department stores. By the mid-1960s the range had expanded to include a motor scooter and a three-wheeled deliver truck in addition to mopeds and lightweights, usually powered by either Moto Morini or Motori Minarelli two-stroke engines. Cimatti survived the 1960s 'Japanese Invasion' but succumbed to the early 1980s recession, closing its doors in 1984. Boasting cantilever rear suspension and styled as only the Italians know how, this beautiful Cimatti X15 must have been every novice rider's dream back in the 1970s. Purchased recently by the vendor, it has not been started and will require recommissioning before further use (the engine turns over).

The Ivan Kessell Collection1922 Raleigh 2¾hpRegistration no. NR 1260Frame no. 1578Engine no. TS14845Britain's best-known bicycle maker, Raleigh also manufactured motorcycles from 1899 to 1905, and from 1919 to 1933. More recently, the Nottingham company offered a range of mopeds plus a scooter in the late 1950s/1960s. During the 1920s Raleigh's line-up expanded to include machines of various capacities, both sidevalve and overhead-valve engined, ranging from a 175cc unit-construction lightweight to a hefty 998cc v-twin. One of the mainstays was the 350cc, 2¾hp model, a compact sidevalve-engined lightweight that, while not devastatingly fast 'flat out', accelerated briskly and handled well by the standards of its day.An older restoration, this Vintage-era '350' Raleigh has been on long-term museum display and will require recommissioning, or possibly more extensive restoration, before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying paperwork consists of old/current V5C documents and an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1952) listing Ivan Kessell as owner from 1978.
