Description

Offered due to thinning out my collection: a beautiful and rare 1958 Zündapp Bella R154. This example is in a superb, unrestored 'survivor' condition with beautiful, even patina. Finished in the most sought-after and iconic colour combination: the original blue paintwork with grey sheet metal and a contrasting bright red seat.

Key features:

• Year: 1958

• Model: R154 (150cc) with the luxurious 12V Dynastart (electric start) system. The starter motor and all electrics work perfectly.

• Engine number matches the frame number (Matching Numbers).

• Includes the original Zündapp owner's manual.

• Active, original historic blue motorcycle registration plate: ZU-94-96. Ready to transfer and ride.

• The scooter is in running condition and complete, apart from the original onboard toolkit.

Technical history & updates:

The scooter was thoroughly serviced mechanically 10 years ago and has been kept running ever since.

• The tyres were replaced at the time.

• The complex front shock absorber was fully overhauled.

• The rear damper was replaced at the time with a modified shock absorber from a Classic Mini. This was a popular upgrade at the time, greatly improving the road handling and riding comfort.

Special details & points to note:

The scooter is honest and nothing has been concealed:

• The front mudguard is fitted with the sought-after luxury trim strip (has some minor damage).

• The authentic seat has been completely reupholstered in the correct red colour.

• There is a crack in the cast-aluminium headlight housing (a known Bella weak point). This has been left as is to avoid compromising the originality of the paintwork.

There is currently an aftermarket exhaust fitted to the scooter. The original, unusable exhaust is included.

An honest, fantastic-looking German quality scooter from the 1950s with the correct papers and a transparent history.

Asking price: € 3.500,-
