Charterhouse Auctioneers are pleased to offer this item in our upcoming Classic Motorbikes auction on Thursday the 6th of June 2024
Online and at Haynes International Motor Museum
Registration number LGY 94D
This was British manufacturer Raleigh's attempt at producing a stylish, premium moped with exceptional performance
It was an innovative design, probably ahead of its time, when you compare it to other brands of sports moped introduced in the early seventies
Owned for about 20 years
The owner informs us it took a long time to find a genuine one as it was so rare and he had never seen an original one as good despite travelling the length and breadth of the country
The bike still has some light oil coated on it in which there are specks of dust
Owner did not want to over clean it in case of damaging the paintwork
There were only about 400 ever produced between January 1966 and July 1967
The bike was running and is still in the condition when the owner bought it, but being so rare they have been reluctant to use it
The owner did not want to restore it because the Flamboyant Royal Carmine paint has a fleck in it which is extremely difficult to replicate and this bike is possibly one of just a few original survivors that have not been restored
The 11R frame number confirms the authenticity of this rare moped
