• British registered from new

• With a copy of the buff log book

• V5C for use on UK roads

These where the quickest 125cc factory produced scooters of the time and were available in Standard, Sport and Bol d’or versions. With an enthusiastic international following, Rumi scooters are very collectible today.

This Tipo Sport, formerly owned by the chairman of The Moto Rumi Club, appears to be in original and very good condition. Originally sold new by the famous Stephen’s Scooter Mart in West London it comes with a good amount of historical provenance and was, until recently, owned by the chairman of the Moto Rumi Club, Paul Stokes. Our vendor was able to regain the original two-letter number plate using these documents. Verified and documented by the Rumi Club. The mileage of 16,466 seems credible. We were able to see the scooter running and sounding ‘very sweet’ by use of an external fuel supply.

1971 Lambretta DL200 Electronic

• Rare Electronic version of the design icon by Nuccio Bertone

• Correct numbers only 272 apart

• V5C for immediate use on the road

The DL200 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters. The Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors. The electronic version went even further with a 6v electronic Ducati ignition and CDI unit. It is said that less than 1000 electronic versions were produced.

This 1971 manufactured DL200 Electronic was imported from Italy and first registered on 22nd September, 1998. Restored c.2000, the paint is still vibrant and the scooter is well presented. To our mind, we can see the correct original parts in place or high standard remade parts only. Although originally Ochre (Yellow) and now in a correct Red Lechler Lambretta Red colour of 1970. We have seen the scooter running and all is functioning, however, due to the fact that the scooter has been resting in a collection and is seldom used, we recommend a service. This is a very rare opportunity for the most serious collector of Lambrettas. With this specification and, in our opinion, high quality condition of a model that is in demand, we expect significant interest in this scooter, which is estimated realistically.

1958 Lambretta LDA Mk3 AVV Electric Start

Estimate: £5,500 - £6,500*

• Original British sold Electric start LDA

• Restored in Coffee and Cream colours

• In excellent working order

The AVV electric start 150cc version is a very rare scooter anywhere but particularly in Great Britain. The price of this ‘luxury model’ was as high as the TV Series 1 when it was introduced in 1957. One of the sales strategies at this time was to paint the scooters in unusual but stylish colours of the day and ‘Coffee and Cream’ was applied to limited numbers of both the last LDs and the new Series 1 Lambrettas.

It was restored by the vendor’s friend, an engineer, and restored over a period of about 10 years. The scooter is supplied with some attractive accessories including original period tartan waterproof saddle covers and an original Wistonia sliding rear ‘trombone’ rack. The AVV, being 12v, is also supplied with a Smiths electric 12v glovebox clock, although this was disconnected to save the battery. We were able to see the scooter working and it started easily by way of the electric start. This scooter might well be entirely suitable for someone who wishes to ride a classic scooter without the necessity to operate a kick start.
