My Minds Eye will be familiar to many of my readers from various scooter magazines and taken the top honours at custom shows throughout the UK and Europe. Commissioned and designed by Nick ‘Tolley’ Tollazzi, who personally sourced all the accessories, only selecting the rarest and the best. The accessories alone (listed below) are valued at £14,000 and are all original and genuine;
- Vigano flute
- Super fork boots
- Ulma front rack with crash bars (supplied by Nanucci London)
- 9 raydot DL 78 lights
- 4 Lucas L785 owl lights
- 4 alpine horns
- 2 Pegasus horses
- 2 St Christopher badges
- 2 stadium folding mirrors
- Desmo lady
- Grants front badge
- Motoplas flyscreen
- Ken Cobin series 3 exhaust
- Ulma footboard extensions
- Nanucci toolbox with original lock and enamel St Christopher badge
- Poli Micro Tromba horns
- Ulma stand feet
- Giuliari sidewinder seat and frame with original 60’s Midland leopard print

- Ulma Florida bars
- Ulma rear crash bar
- Scots GB reflective rear badge
- Metalplast number plate surround and metalplast rear mudflap
- Catalux twin reflector rear light lens
- Michelin ACS tyres
- Correct fibre glass mudguard
The front rack is not just decorative… all the lights work!
The TV200 – known in the UK only as the GT – a rare and desirable model to start with – was personally built by Dean Orton of the renowned Rimini Lambretta Centre, arguably the best restorers of Lambrettas in the world. You can read about the work RLC put in here… to quote Dean “Anybody who thinks it’s the easy option ‘simply bolting accessories’ to a scooter really is talking shite. EVERY single accessory can be a major ‘mare and getting the layout right can take forever. No point slinging it all on and hoping it’ll look good because you’ll end up in tears. Nick’s front rack took the best part of three days work to layout, then strip, polish up, re-mount, wire up and connect. As Mr. T. himself says, “you can’t buy style – either you’ve got it or you haven’t.”
The whole package, the model, the restoration, the accessories, the provenance, go together to make this GT maybe the ultimate mod scooter. And she’s up for sale…
If you’re interested, and you can stump up the not inconsiderable £20,000 asking price, you can ring the owner on 07967363091 with questions or to see more photos. Find out more on eBay, here.

UPDATE: I heard this morning that Irvine Sellar, (the guy in this picture – and owner of a couple of Carnaby Street boutiques) died yesterday. I didn’t know anything about him until I wrote this post, but seems he was quite a character. There’s a good piece
