An Alpino T48-4T
four-stroke sports moped
Another red Italian
sports moped: An Italjet
Three
‘sports’ mopeds, behind the Alpini is a Berini M21
Sports.
This Ducati has the 60cc variant of
the Cucciolo engine
This Testi is a
Weekend Cross, when new it would have has a transistor radio
mountedon the handlebars.
This French moped is
an A Sutter, built at Châtellerault. Auguste
Sutter was part of ‘les Manuchards’, arms
manufacturers in Châtellerault, before setting up in
business on his own as a cycle manufacturer. This moped is
powered by an ABG VAP engine.
These three are all
Avaros mopeds. The cream and blue one is a 1962 Monomatic
de Luxe. The next one is a couple of years older and is a
Super 8. Older stil is the one at the end: a
Super 7.
This pair is a Puch
and a Tomos—the Tomos being basically a version of the
Puch. The Tomos, with the foot-boards and leg shields, is a
T12 dating from 1968, while the Puch is an MV50S.
A
child’s bike made to look like a Victoria cyclemotor with a
dummy engine.
The orange plate on this
mid-1970s’ Tomos SF1 shows that it’s a
‘snorfiets’, limited to 25km/h
Racing Puch on
display on the puchshop.de
stand.
A Rex
cyclemotor with a couple of VéloSoleXes
A Kaptein
Mobylette AV50S ... the label says AV85/89, but it’s
wrong.
The
RHC-Nederland stand
had a Mosquito-powered cycle as its centrepiece.
A do-it-yourself
Peugeot Bima kit.
Gitane–Testi Champion Super Polyester
Stuff. The very
part you need is probably here; all you have to do is find
it.
Ducati Sports 48
This is what
you end up if you completely chrome-plate a Kreidler.
(Presumably it’s on show so no one else will make the same
mistake?)
Weekend Cross at one
end and Italjet at the other; I’ve forgotten what the two
in the middle are, but they’re sporty and Italian ... what
more could you need to know?
These are Mosquitos ... well, the
Ciao isn’t, but the others are. It seemed to be
Mosquito day at Heerhugowaard with these, and the oneon the
RHC-Nederland stand,
and more...
Batavus Bilonet G50 Toer
A Meteora and, if you look carefully,
you’ll spot another Mosquito engine.
And here’s
yet another Mosquito
A pair of Garelli Sports mopeds
Puch City 25—like a Maxi but
much slower, hence the orange plate.
A fine selection of petrol tanks
A mixed
bunch: the Gitane–Testi again, a Berini VE, and a
Kreidler Florett
This Testi will look somewhat familiar to any
Kerry Capitano cwners.
Monark Monarscoot
The Mobylette
specialists had booked their stands all in line down one row;
here’s ‘Mobylette Alley’ seen from either
end.
As every
Italian knows: red ones go faster.
As usual,
Bromfiets magazine had a stall.
