Well, not your actual Rolls Royce motor car. But a rather nicely restored Heinkel Tourist scooter… (or motorroller as our Teutonic friends would have it… so I guess it’s a Roller of sorts) was originally marketed as the “Rolls Royce of Scooters”. Naturally, it’s not quite as “pretty” as a Lammy… but it has got a voluptuous attractiveness all of it’s own. And like the seller says “very nice machines to own and run, and they are a bit different” It’s got a classified price of a fiver under £4k, which is a lot of scooter for your buck. Check it out on eBay here.

Lui Lui…
Found this very clean Lambretta Lui 75S on eBay. It looks super space age in it’s silver livery… and as it is an Italian import is still a “Lui” rather than a “Vega”. I think that’s right… I’m no expert on the Luna line! (Hmm… Louis Vega… didn’t he do “Mambo Number 5”?)
Anyway, from the pics, this is a superb example of the model… although it’s going for an eye-watering £4,500… You used to be able to pick up these little beauties for peanuts! Here’s the eBay link.
Simply beautiful
Reply
Nice, tastefully modded SX200 which combines classic café racer looks with modern performance. Powered by a 34HP 265cc Readspeed engine, it is quick, smooth and reliable. And simply beautiful. Offers over £10k on eBay here
Rock Oil Special
Apparently, this is the only scooter to be endorsed by Rock Oil. A true Mancunian, sold by Horners of Manchester, new, in 1964, and been in the Manchester all it’s life.
Restored to a high standard, powered by a 186 Mugello lump. And there’s obviously that rather smart Rock Oil paint job.On eBay here
Shelby AC Tribute GP
Here’s a superb Readspeed GP TS1 230 up for sale on the bay… “designed to replicate the Shelby AC Cobra race car whilst keeping the genuine originality of the Lambretta and the GP200 it originated from. As such every detail of the build was meticulous even down to the dark blue metallic and Wimbledon white paint which was from the Shelby works in Las Vegas”
An original Italian GP 200 with matching frame numbers, the current owner reckon stop have spent over £25k getting the scooter to look this good. One of the ‘signature pieces’ is the (genuine Taffspeed) exhaust, modified to replicate that of the AC Cobra, which , along with the vented side panels make this scoot truly unique.
Custard Framebreather
Loving the clean lines on this custard yellow S1 I stumbled across on eBay. It’s been prepared by Lambretta experts Mike Phoenix Scooters in Manchester, so you know it’s gonna be a good ‘un, not just a pretty ‘un.
Special 150 Special
Lovely, restored LI 150 Special on eBay…restored and rebuilt by Cambridge Lambretta Workshops. Great colours, lovely scoot, but a tad pricey at nearly £6k ‘buy it now’! See it on eBay here
Barenaked S1
I think this bare metal, all original bodywork Series 1 looks magnificent. It’s for sale on eBay here
Classy classic combo
The Gulf Racing colours of pale blue and bright orange are a classic and recognisable combination that work so well together. I’ve seen them on many vehicles, from Porches to Beetles, Mini’s, bikes and a fair few scoots over the years. But I think this is the first time I’ve seen them on a Lambretta sidecar combination. In my ever so humble opinion, it works. And it’s for sale on eBay. The scooter (a GP 150) has been upgraded to with a GT 186 kit, so should pull that Watsonian along nicely. It’s on eBay here. But be quick, the auction ends today.

LD Barn Find For Sale
Liking the look of this ’56 LD150… Untouched for 30 years, and back and running. For sale for £1950 with lots of spares, including a spare engine. I found it while browsing the Volkszone.com Volkswagen forum, so you’ll probaby have to sign up to that if you’re interested, as I haven’t spotted it on eBay yet…
The King Kurt side panels bring back some pleasant memories of a misspent youth, and some fantastically messy gigs too. Ooh wallah wallah wallah, ooh wallah ooh, indeed.
