We’ve been on another trip accrss to the Netherlands, this time to the jumble at Heerhugowaard. It’s a couple of years since the last time we went.
The jumble takes place in a Sports Hall and here’s a general view down the centre aisle of stalls.
Here’s another general view inside the hall. Now we’ll start being more specific—rather than going round the hall in order, let’s look at the different types of machines, starting with the cyclemotors.
It will come as no surpise that there were several Berini cyclemotors at a jumble in The Netherlands. This one is on a Simplex cycle.
Another Berini. The vendor was asking €675 for this one.
Cyclemotor or moped? Even though it was sold as a complete machine, it could go on a bicycle frame so we’re putting this Bianchi Aquilotto in the cyclemotor category.
The engine from a Cyclaid. (Ignore that thing behind it, it’s only a Cucciolo chainwheel.)
The engine from a 25cc Cyclemaster.
Who said Ducati Cucciolo spares were hard to find? Here’s a whole table full of them.
This is what you need to convert your Ducati Cucciolo to hand-change.
Yes, it’s another Berini, but the complete ensemble is called a Locomotief HiFi B10.
A Mosquito—There were a few of these at the jumble…
…and here’s another one…
…and this is a Mosquito in a box.
This is an unfamiliar cyclemotor; the labels says Uniek, which could be the marque name, or could just mean it’s a one-off. We’ll plump for the former since we think we’ve heard the name before … if only we could remember where. Anyway, whatever it is, is was for sale at €550.
Now we’ll move on to the mopeds and will split them up into the utility ones and the more exotic ones. Our decisions about what goes in which category will be a little arbitrary but, roughly speaking, the exotica will be all the ones with either sporting pretensions or ridiculous amounts of bodywork. As there were several four-strokes there, we’ll split those out into a separate category.
The Batavus Bilonet uses an Jlo engine.
A Garelli Automatic.
This Sachs-engined moped is an Italian Legnano.
This Phoenix Saxonette is based on the Sachs 221 moped.
This is a Piaggio Boxer.
The Rhonson Rhonsonette was made in Lyon. Lyon is at the confluence of the rivers Rhône and Saône; Rhonson is a contraction of these two names.
This Simson SR2E dates from 1963.
The Terrot Cyclorette is a roller-drive moped using a Maquet engine in an Eriac frame.
We had no difficulty in identifying this one—though we would have found it harder if it hadn’t had a big label on it saying Typhoon Timatic.
Union moped.
Shaft-drive VéloSoleX 6000.
VéloSoleX spares as far as the eye can see.
And some complete VéloSoleXes too.
Here’s one we hadn’t heard of before: a Zircon. The déposé on the badge on the frame suggests it’s from a French-speaking country and the ‘Z’ pressed in the frame shows that it’s probably not something else that’s been 'badge-engineered’. We think it comes from Belgium rather than France.
There were several four-strokes at the jumble. This one is a Pegaso; it’s fully restored and being offered for sale at €1,650.
A Demm Sport Unificato would cost you a lot more: €2,850 was the asking price—though that was by no means the most expensive moped there.
Next of the four strokes was this Morini Corsarino.
There are usually a few Motoms at any Dutch mopedjumble. This one seemed very reasonably priced at €395
Probably one of the most expensive mopeds at the event, this Demm Sports Special is in the ‘If you need to ask the price, you can’t afford it’ category … so we didn’t ask.
What could be better that a line of Zündapp and Kreidler sports mopeds to start this section?
€2,950 was the price on this Batavus Whippet. Why was this unrestored machine more expensive than a lot of the immaculately restored ones? Because it’s a Batavus Whippet!
On the same stand as the Uniek cyclemotor was a BM Jaguarino. The kick-start and the bell-mouth on the exhaust make this the Jaguarino Extra.
A Demm sports moped—a two-stroke this time.
A DKW Sport.
Two more DKW Hummel Sport mopeds.
If you were after an Itom, you had a choice of colours.
Locomotief HiFi 9
Like the HiFi 9, this Magneet Globemaster has large amounts of bodywork for its little engine to move.
This one’s a Malaguti.
The Monark Monarscoot was made in Sweden.
A Moto Guzzi Dingo.
Although this Oscar was primarily at the event to adorn the Bromfiets stand, it was for sale.
This RAP moped is the Crown 3V model.
Sparta Sport 3V
Very similar to the previous one, this is a Sparta Sport 2V.
A Van Veen Kreidler seems like a good way of rounding off this section of exotica.
