Rare imported scooter
Zundapp was a major German manufacturer of motorcycles founded in Nuremberg in 1917 during WW1 initially as a manufacturer of detonators. In 1919 the company began making motorcycles. After WW2 the company moved to Munich and amongst its many products began production of motor scooters in 1953 with the well engineered ‘Bella’. Starting at 146cc the scooter was heavy and in 1954 the engine size was increased to 200cc.
This early 146cc example is rare as the smaller engined version was apparently only in production for a short time. We understand that it was imported recently. It is mainly complete and in good condition. The seat is in very good original condition and it has an accessory side stand. There are no documents but the scooter is supplied with an original operation and maintenance manual and a copy of the spare parts catalogue for a R154. The frame number is visible and clear so registration should be a formality. The vendor is only selling as he bought the scooter in error at another recent auction for £3100 thinking is was the larger engined R203. Offered for sale with no reserve.
