Andre Baldet was Frenchman who settled in England. He began selling Vespas and was famed for his exploits on 2 wheels to promote the business. Calling the business Moto Baldet, and later Glanfield Baldet, he became very well known for modifying Vespas and Lambrettas. The 42L2 and 92L2 models were a new design and a departure from the previous Douglas Vespa models; There were a number of special editions by Douglas, of the 92L2 in 1957, to help sales. One of these was the Ultra and they were supplied in a number of colours, with windscreen, dual seat and a mudguard crest.

We present here a rare Ultra in the Regal Red colour. We understand it was discovered in a garage clearance before our vendor. The original number has been lost but the scooter does have a V5C on an age-related plate. The patina of this very rare colour Vespa is desirable and shows much character with the original Moto Baldet dealer slide still visible.
