Make & Model:Lambretta, Cento Date of Reg:PRT307F Colour:Cream cc:100 Fuel Type:Petrol Mileage:14923 Summary:The vendor bought this 1964 Lambretta Cento to add to a bike collection. It was used until 2013, but the wish now is for it to go to a new home for somebody else to enjoy it properly. The bike was registered in October 1967 (it's believed to have been in a dealership for an extended period before being bought, given that it dates from 1964) and has had three registered keepers shown on its V5C. The odometer shows 14,923 miles and the last MoT expired in July 2013 after being tested the year before at an indicated 14,923 miles. However, as an historic bike, the Lambretta no longer requires annual testing. Some recommissioning is likely to be required. Paperwork includes the V5C, old green logbook, last MoT from 2012, and a previous auction invoice.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 125SL 211159 MOT: ExemptComplete and in excellent original conditionComes with a NOVA for UK registrationSubject to recent recommissioning work and described as 'running very well'Matching numbers with excellent bodyworkKeys presentIn 1952 a group of Basque businessmen trading as Lambretta Locomociones SA obtained a license to build Lambretta scooters in Spain. Production began two years later at a purpose-built factory in Eibar. Sales were good and around 1964 the company began to use the name Serveta SA for its own commercial activities. In 1982 the company changed its name to Lambretta S.A.L. following a change of ownership. Servetas were initially only produced for the Spanish domestic market. However, by 1970 Spanish built machines were being sold in the UK by Lambretta Concessionaires alongside their Innocenti equivalents as Italian supply was known to be stopping. By the end of the decade, Serveta scooters were being sold in the United States and the UK under their own name. Spanish Lambretta production finally ceased completely in 1989.The Series 80 (Serie 80) was launched some time in 1980 and was essentially the same scooter as the preceding LI Special and Jet 200 models but with different styling. The ‘Series 80’ decals followed the line of the side panels. Ignition and lighting were the same as the earlier models, but on most models a new style of indicator was fitted to the edge of the leg shield and side panels. A new thicker rear shock was also introduced, so that the frame and engine suspension pins became longer. The most noticeable difference was that the front mudguard and horn casting were now made of plastic and the horn grille was similarly that of the Italian GP/DL. More comfort was gained by a new coffin-style lockable seat and a Puig leg shield box. This 125 Lynx model, with original paint and engine throughout, has all the keys present. We are advised the scooter starts and runs 'perfectly'. An excellent beginner's Lambretta, these Lynx models were the equivalent of the Vespa PX in the Lambretta world, very robust and reliable. It is being offered with the NOVA number and Dating Certificate, in order that it can be UK registered.

Registration No: Unregistered Chassis No: 022393 MOT: ExemptCompletely original barn findLooks to be completeRare scooterUnder the name NSU Prima, the NSU works in Neckarsulm Germany built motor scooters that replaced the NSU Lambretta, which had been manufactured under an Innocenti license since 1950. The first version, the Prima D, came onto the market in 1956 and was offered for about a year alongside the Lambretta, whose production ended in 1956 after 117,043 units were sold. ”By the end of the production period in 1964, 160,645 NSU scooters had been manufactured under the name“ Prima ”.Technically, the NSU Prima largely corresponded to the later versions of the Lambretta LD. As with the Lambretta, the engine was built into the fairing in front of the rear wheel. The rear wheel was guided on a swing arm with a helical compression spring and hydraulic shock absorber, the front wheel on a drawn short arm swing arm. A dashboard with a speedometer, starter light / ignition switch and a button for the starter flap. In addition, the Prima differed from the Lambretta in that it had plenty of chrome decorations and a unit of headlight and horn combined in a chrome frame. The three-speed gearbox was shifted with a twist grip on the left of the handlebars. The maximum speed was 80 km / h. These were 12v electric start machines with no kickstart.Discovered after being parked up for over 50 years in a brick building and left untouched since then, it was originally UK registered from new with an excellent registration number. It is complete minus a rear right runner board, which are available. A worthy winter project, IF retrievable, the registration number could be quite valuable. The chassis number is clear and present.

Registration No: WBP 594 Chassis No: 150LD177604 MOT: ExemptBritish registered from new with buff logbookTransferable registration numberCurrent V5C for use on the roadThe Lambretta LD Mk1 was first introduced in 1951 as a 125cc model as a successor to the LC. It had covered panels over a tubular frame and had the addition of a torsion bar. This feature remained on all Lambrettas until 1958. The LD also had springs enclosed in the front forks. The Mk2 had a number of improvements. The rear brake was now cable controlled and the gears used a single teleflex cable. There was also a small luggage box which housed the optional speedometer. The whole ride experience was much improved and the LD Mk2 was subsequently a very popular model. This complete example is in good condition in our opinion. It was purchased from the estate of a Somerset collector who had restored it using a local well respected painter in attractive colour scheme. It is also adorned with some period accessories. We understand it was running around 10 years ago in order to get an MOT and some MOT certificates are supplied from that time. The scooter is also supplied with the original buff log book showing it was first registered in Sussex on 23rd November 1956. With original parts all over it would not take much in our opinion to recommission this attractive example. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: LSL 965 Frame No: 133910150LD MOT: ExemptBritish registered from new according to V5CTransferable registration numberCurrent V5C for use on the roadThe Lambretta LD Mk1 was first introduced in 1951. The Mk2 had a number of improvements, the rear brake was now cable-controlled and the gears used a single teleflex cable. There was also a small luggage box which housed the optional speedometer. The whole ride experience was much improved and the LD Mk2 was subsequently a very popular model. This complete example is in very good condition in our opinion and painted in what appear to be the correct colours. The current owner has had the scooter since 1993 and is a well-known senior member of several vintage scooter clubs in the UK. We understand from him that it was in fine working condition when it was pushed into the garage several years ago, so may need some light re-commissioning. It is very presentable and the engine does turn and we anticipate no major problems after the assurances of the vendor and the way we have seen him keep his machines maintained. We noted the scooter has an original period fuel gauge and original foot board extensions. The keys represent for the steering lock and the small leg shield tool box.

Registration No: WWT 418J Frame No: SABTVR03365052048 MOT: ExemptOver £11,000 spent since last year aloneWith electric start DVLA have confirmed re-issued VIN number is correctWe understand in running conditionV5C for use on UK roadsThe GP150 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters that rolled off of Innocenti’s production line in Milan. The GP150 followed the SX range and retained the engine SX engine prefix before the serial number. They were produced from January 1969 until April 1971. 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 iconic bodywork followed the trends of the day of the early 1970’s. The Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors with a new frame and rectangular headlight. This GP150 has been issued ‘rebuilt’ status by the DVLA and the code is correct for a UK built vehicle being rebuilt in 2006. We have checked with them and also the HPI report both come up legitimate and correctly done despite the frame number appearance. The scooter is painted in a very 1980s style metal flake with striping effect. There are significant bills within a large and supplied history file. A TS1 225 kit was supplied by Chiselspeed in 2016 and subsequent dyno tests by PSN scooters show a BHP achieved of over 15 HP. There are a number of performance upgrades including disc brake and performance Dellorto carburettor.In more recent times our vendor purchased this scooter for over £7100 last year from West Midland Motorcycles and in a bid to make it useable for himself has another bill for £3450 from Cambridge Lambretta for the addition of a modern electric start system. Unfortunately our vendors health has deteriorated and his dream machine is now for sale for a fraction of what it has cost him. We were unable to see it working as the battery needed charging when we were there. However in our opinion with some know-how this can be put into quick service. The extensive file of bills and the machine will be available for close inspection during the auction viewing times.

Registration No: XYJ 503A Frame No: TV3 515405 MOT: ExemptRestored example still on original 6v pointsCorrect numbersRecent substantial mechanical rebuild and bare metal resprayV5C 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. We believe this presentable and fully prepared example was imported from Italy in 2019. It was substantially restored with new electrics including 6v points and condenser, new ignition, horn, control switch, rectifier, battery and bulbs. Other new parts included a new seat cover for the original Giuliari seat frame, full cable set, MPH speedometer, brakes, headlight and glass, brakes including pads and adjusters, toolbox lock and key, steering lock key re-cut by Jim Booth, fuel tap, rubbers and gaskets, new panel badges and rear shock. The original disc brake was dismantled and refurbished with pads and adjusters. The original engine has been fitted with Scootopia silent block engine mounts, Scootopia Series 3 exhaust, clutch plates and chaincase gasket. The correct SH1/20 carburettor was ultrasonically cleaned. It was then subject to a bare metal paint restoration by ‘Roadrash Paintwork’, to the tune of £1,380. The current owner has only covered 23 miles on the scooter since the re-build. The scooter comes with a build and work history, a dating later from the LCGB and an Innocenti Certificate. V5C for use on UK roads. There's a sensibly priced reserve. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Produced from January 1969 until April 1971 it is said a total of only 9350 DL/GP200’s were made. The GP200 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 1970’s. 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.This GP200 Electronic was registered new on the 2nd of August 1971. Our vendor purchased it in March 2023 and a comprehensive restoration was carried out by renowned and in-demand KTF Scooters of Southport (formerly MS Classics) to a fastidiously high standard.

It has the original cylinder still on the first size GOL piston, original cylinder head, gearbox, sprocket, primary drive, clutch bell and basket, mag housing, 6v UK specification stator plate and ignition system. Parts replaced and supplied by Rimini Lambretta include the GP200 crank, Gol piston, clutch plates and metals, bearings and oil seals, drive chain, Innocenti standard GP200 exhaust and all gaskets, Cdi and regulator and correct protection rubber boots. If you had walked into any Lambretta dealership back in 1971, this is what a White GP200 Electronic would have looked like in the showroom.

Original and rare Spanish Lambretta dealers sign'New Old Stock'In almost 'as new' conditionAn extremely rare original Lambretta EIBAR dealer illuminated two-sided sign. Purchased from the Colin Bunn collection and found in a Lambretta dealer's premises in Spain in the 1990s when it closed down.

The old-style twin tubes and starters have been renewed with traditional old-style tubes. This is a well-made sign by the company Elaboracion Plasticos Espanoles (EPE) of Madrid. The light measures 75cm x 55cm x 16cm and the maximum distance from the wall is 110cm. The splayed fixing points (to fix into concrete) are still present, although a devised temporary wall fitting was used in the showroom.

Post war however, they joined numerous other Italian companies in mobilising the masses. Iso’s first vehicles were small capacity motorcycles however in 1957 they launched their new 150 scooter which blended the style of both Lambretta and Vespa resulting in a very elegant and much revered machine. With a 2-stroke, 4-speed engine and a claimed top speed of 50mph, it’s 3.50×10 wheels were the same size as the best Lambrettas and Vespas of the day. Production ended in 1963.This super example appears to have been British registered from new. Showing only 2 former keepers since January 1957, we can see from the supplied tax discs and corresponding MOT certificates that it has had gentle but regular use in 2006, 2012 and 2014. On inspection we can see that the scooter is extremely original and there are numerous quality Italian parts including the Dellorto carburettor. The speedometer is the rare original MPH Veglia version with Iso motif on the face displaying only 6,722 miles. The scooter started first kick at time of consignment and sounded very good. It is registered as 125cc. This Iso is as Italian as it is possible to be. Painted in Pistachio Ice Cream Green and with a unique design, you can easily imagine taking this out in the sunshine and looking the part.

Registration No: 144 XVR Frame No: 149193 MOT: ExemptPreviously one family/company ownership from newSubstantial history fileRestored and in full working order at the time of consignmentV5 and ready to use on UK roadsThe Lambretta LD Mk1 was first introduced in 1951 as a 125cc model as a successor to the LC. It had covered panels over a tubular frame and had the addition of a torsion bar. This feature remained on all Lambrettas until 1958. The LD also had springs enclosed in the front forks. The Mk2 had a number of improvements. The rear brake was now cable-controlled and the gears used a single teleflex cable. There was also a small luggage box which housed the optional speedometer. The whole ride experience was much improved and the LD Mk2 was subsequently a very popular model. Lambretta Concessionaires, the British importer of Italian Lambretta scooters had already begun enhancing the product with a line of practical and decorative accessories in order to grow the market within clubs and the public. One further step was to emulate the successful Italian trend of scooters being used as the business vehicle and alongside the Steib passenger sidecar the Steib Tradesman box was also offered. Steib Metallbau from Nuremberg, Germany had been making high-quality sidecars since 1928 and with the scooter versions were the official sidecar supplier to Lambretta Concessionaires from 1954. Steib Metallbau closed in 1957 making their scooter sidecars very rare indeed and the tradesman box even rarer. This extraordinary 1955-built combination registered new in January 1956 by Warburton Bros motorcycle dealers of Cheshire was purchased new by the former keeper's grandfather in January 1956 for his company Thomas Coppock & Co. The company supplied quality paint, paint brushes and lacquers in the Manchester area from their Stockport base. The vehicle had previously never left Cheshire. The buff logbook shows one change of owner to a James Shackleton, but we know this to be an employee of Coppock and Co, as was usual to have the regular user on the logbook. It was subsequently transferred back to the previous keeper's father. The original registration number 'KDB 87' was transferred to another vehicle and the scooter has been issued with an age-related number. The substantial history file that accompanies this combination includes: The original buff logbook (with an admin error on the stated serial numbers which are not Lambretta numbers), a copy of the official entry in the Cheshire archives for 'KDB 87', and all of the subsequent transfers of the number off the vehicle. Also, a substantial amount of original Thomas Coppock & Co promotional memorabilia, a Cheshire fuel ration book and original serviceman’s handbook. There are also a large number of photographs of the vehicle before and during the recent restoration. There is also the original scooter guarantee from Lambretta Concessonaires signed by Peter Agg himself in January 1956This example has been subject to a well considered and complete restoration in 2019 in the original colour of the time by Jed Lahan local a well known Cheshire motorcycle scooter restorer. Or consultant was able to see the scooter running and was able to ride the combination over a long distance with no issues. She comes with two full sets of working keys including for the trade box, and is ready to use with V5 on UK roads. Consider coffee seller, mobile bar and mobile vinyl disco?

We are also told the engine was overhauled and was known to be running circa 2012 when it was MOT’d and copies of the MOTs are included.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 2362633 MOT: ExemptFound in the loft of a houseNever registeredBrand new when storedUnder the name NSU Prima, the NSU works in Neckarsulm, Germany built motor scooters that replaced the NSU Lambretta, which had been manufactured under an Innocenti license since 1950. The first version, the Prima D, came onto the market in 1956 and was offered for about a year alongside the Lambretta, whose production ended in 1956 after 117,043 units were sold. By the end of the production period in 1964, 160,645 NSU scooters had been manufactured under the name 'Prima'.The NSU Prima was left to the current owner by their late father-in-law who recently passed away. The vendor was told about the NSU Prima many years ago and that he had it in parts in the loft. He said it was brand new and had never been registered as it was a leftover stock item when the business closed down and his father's motorcycle shop which was based in Ollerton, known locally as “Abdys”. It is not known when it was dismantled and placed into the loft, but every component was there, so it was able to be put back together. The engine is free and it has some storage marks on the paintwork. The overall condition is remarkable for its age and would make a great addition to a scooter collection. The NSU does not come with any documentation. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: RSK 201 Frame No: 150LD 131060 MOT: ExemptOn offer from the estate of the late David NevePreviously restored at home by the late ownerOffered in need of recommissioningThe Lambretta LD was first introduced in 1951 as a 125cc model as a successor to the all-enclosed LC model. Following the success of the LD, a new Mk2 model was released in 1954 with substantial improvements. Firstly, the 150cc engine option was released for the first time, giving slightly more power to compete with the main Piaggio Vespa competitor. To slow all this new found power down, the rear brake was now cable controlled and the larger capacity machine's gear shift mechanism was now controlled by twin push-pull cable design rather than the troublesome single 'teleflex' cable. A small luggage box was fitted within the leg shields which housed the speedometer plus there was space for an extra gauge such as the now very sought after wind up clock if specified. The whole riding experience was much improved over the previous iteration and as a result the LD Mk2 was subsequently a very popular model and it is estimated approximately 104,889 were manufactured prior to replacement with the LD Mark III.Manufactured in 1955 and believed to have been supplied to the UK market when new, 'RSK 201' was acquired by the late David Neve in 2007 as a restoration project and was subjected to a home restoration by him over a number of years. Work included the replacement of a number of body panels including the sidepanels and mudguard and the original items are provided as spares. Mr Neve was a collector of small two stroke vehicles and H&H were recently entrusted by his son to sell the collection via the H&H October Duxford Imperial War Museum auction. Today 'RSK 201' is an attractive example of the LD150 which is in need of recommissioning due to Mr Neve having been unable to maintain the machine for a number of years prior to his passing and is supplied complete with a large number of spares.

Registration No: 827 XWD Frame No: 125L1*033457* MOT: ExemptExcellent standard of paintwork and restorationStandard 1962 Li125 fitted with 185cc big bore kitFitted with some nice chromework, includes a V5CFerdinando Innocenti had an engineering background having established his first workshop at the age of 18. Following the end of WW2, he, like many of his contemporary Italian industrialists required a product that would enable him to rebuild his shattered company based in the Milanese suburb of Lambrate. Therefore, the inspiration for the creation of the first Lambretta scooter can be found, like that of the rival Vespa, in the devastation that afflicted Italy following the Second World War and the country's desperate need for affordable transport. The new machine was unveiled at the 1947 Paris Show and featured a large tubular steel frame and was fitted with front and rear suspension. Power was provided by a two-stroke, single-cylinder engine with the early versions being offered as "open" models with no enclosure of the engine and only minimal leg shields and foot-boards but the introduction of the revised Model C in 1950 saw the option of an enclosed variant, the LC which established the appearance of the Lambretta for the rest of the fifties. By the 1960s the introduction of the Li range established the classic long and sleek Lambretta look that went on to become a style icon of the era culminating in the Bertone-designed 'Grand Prix' models of the late sixties.This beautifully presented Lambretta Li has been fully restored to a very high standard by its enthusiast vendor. The bodywork has been sandblasted back to bare metal and then professionally refinished in Metallic Red and Grey. It was subsequently rebuilt using stainless steel nuts and bolts wherever possible and fitted with many new parts including rubbers, cables, wheel rims, tyres, wiring harness, electrical switches and a new ignition switch. The engine has had a complete overhaul using new bearings, seals, gaskets and clutch plates, fitted with electronic ignition and finished off with a 185cc big bore kit. The scooter has some nice accessories including a rear carrier/backrest holding a spare wheel, separate sprung saddles and a fly screen. The standard of finish is excellent and a real credit to the restorer, it comes supplied with some receipts documenting the process and current V5C.

Registration No: 131 XVN Chassis No: 175TV2*223322 MOT: ExemptVery original TV Series 2Correct engine and frame numbersComes with certificate from the Lambretta MuseumV5 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 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.Our vendor purchased this extremely original machine directly from the Lambretta Museum in Weston Super Mare in 2021. It had previously been one of the display models in the museum and a letter from the museum confirms this. On examination we noted that the majority of the paint is untouched original whilst there are signs of over paint done so long ago that the patina has blended with the original to the point where it is almost unnoticeable without close examination. The original rough sound proofing paint is still everywhere it should be on the rare mudguard, cylinder head and inside the side panels. We could not see any replacement parts anywhere. The light control switch and ignition are original although just missing its half moon cap. Still on 6v points and just how you dream to find one of these. Original condition TV175 series 2s in such condition are very thin on the ground these days. No attempt was made to start the scooter although we are told it was running in 2021 when it was registered after leaving the museum.

The frame comprised of a single large section tube onto which all of the mechanical components were attached. LCs are quite rare these days, the total production was only 42,500 units.This example dates from the first year of production. Around four years ago, the scooter underwent a full mechanical overhaul by Disco Dez scooters, with a completely overhauled engine with all cables, brakes and everything mechanical treated to a sympathetic conservation. The originality has been retained all over. The patina and colour are attractive and there is still the original dealer transfer on the horn cast. There are no visible touch-ups anywhere that we could see and the scooter is very pure. The side panels fit well. The saddles still wear original leather two-tone tops and are usable as they are. There is a GEV rubber floor mat and original Ulma side panel air scoop embellishers. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: 758 XWB Frame No: VS5T0057985 MOT: ExemptMammoth creation by Retrospective Scooters, LondonSpecialised parts by Lino Brotto, Italian restoration master and fabricator for The Piaggio Museum.Now fully running with a V5C presentThe Vespa Six Day Racers Sei Giorni were the special Piaggio works race machines for the endurance race tournaments held back in the 1940's and early 1950's by all the big Italian two wheel manufacturers to prove that their bikes and scooters were tough and reliable. They would race them around Italy over the rough road surfaces (just after the war) and they they competed with Lambretta, but also Ducati, MV Augusta, Laverda, Moto Guzzi, Bianchi and many more. These six day racers were not any ordinary factory specification Vespa but an improved modified, strengthened and tuned scooter to combat the semi off road conditions, reliability being the key and make it to the end of that days course.This machine is an evocation of the very last version of the Sei Giorni with the 10" wheels and twin spare wheels. Retrospective Scooters of London used the chassis of a notably 1959 Douglas Vespa as the basis of the project. They actually flew to Italy to meet Lino Brotto, the famous restorer of many of the rarest Vespa models for the Piaggio factory museum. Lino provided many specialist parts needed to make a six-day racer replica and also showed them the skills required to replicate the bodywork of this special racer. The London Scooter Bodyshop undertook the mammoth task of moulding and metal fabrication of the frame into the specialist racer body shape adding special extra strength plates and leg shield shaping. Specialist parts include the long-range tank, map holder, spare wheel holders, shortened handlebars, side stand, seamless mudguard, strengthened swing arm, engine panel catches and holder, air intake and bash plates.The engine is a GS150 with an extra curved kickstart, special flywheel and cylinder cowling. We are informed that the scooter starts and runs 'like new' and is the ultimate copy of this iconic Vespa Factory racer of which there were only around 100 made. This was made with the intention to be an exact copy using the official book as a guide and copying it down to the last detail.

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.

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.

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.

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.

'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.

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

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 footboards for the pillion and 4 floor strips each side for the rider's 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 very rare matching numbers Mk1 Sport with the headlight mounted on the handlebars. It was acquired by our vendor 55 years ago in 1969 and he is only the second owner. It was restored in 1970. We are informed by the vendor that it was in full running condition when parked up. Everything is original and it also has the optional side stand. The mileage is currently 21,504 and genuine as backed up by a large number of MOTs going back to 1969. The impressive history file also has the original purchase receipt when our vendor bought it for £13 and 10 Shillings. The original buff logbook is present giving us full history from new. The scooter is fully road-registered with modern V5C and the number plate is believed to be transferable. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

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.

The Vespa has evolved from a single model motor scooter manufactured in 1946 by Piaggio & Co. of Pontedera, Italy. Designed by Renzo Spolti and Vittorio Casini and known as the MP5 (Moto Piaggio no.5). Upon seeing this new design for the first time, Enrico Piaggio exclaimed ‘Sembra una Vespa!’ (It resembles a wasp).This 1975 150 Sport was purchased by our vendor in 2011 before he restored the Vespa and then registered the bike for UK roads in 2012 with a UK V5. The British Lambretta archive confirm that this was an Italian manufactured Vespa with the frame number VLB1T 0238897 and the engine confirmed as being changed in 1977. Presented wonderfully in red coachwork our vendor uses the bike regularly, sitting on the larger wheels makes this a more usable scooter for modern roads. Period Vespa’s are becoming increasingly popular as perfect collector additions to any showroom or man cave but equally could be the retro mode of transport. Consigned by Mathew PriddyGuide Price £4,000-£7,000 A restored example in 2011 when brough to the UKOrginally produced and registered in Italy
