r000 The Heinkel 19XX Tourist Make is the quintessential Model German touring scooter. It is
estimate: $000 000 - $000 000
heavier, more comfortable, and more stable than the typical vespa, and
offered without reserve
it fits into an upscale class occupied by the Maicoletta, Contessa, and
the larger Zündapp Bellas. In England, it was called “the Rolls-Royce of
scooters.” amongst a sea of two-strokes, it was virtually alone with its
smooth, quiet four-stroke motor that did not trail blue smoke.
now in its eighth year of production, through five models, the spectacular
new Heinkel Tourist 103 a-2 made a splash. Its sleek tail echoed the
american car styling of the time, making it look longer and lower. Up to
this point, changes from one model to the next involved mostly technical
refinements. The new engine hood, along with its comfortable bench
seat, was easily removable for totally free access to the works.
This is a fine example of the type, restored
in its correct alabaster and Como Grey
two-tone, and it is fitted out with a full
complement of accessories, including a
luggage rack with spare and the soughtafter
four-piece Ideal windshield. Today,
the scooter enjoys a huge following, with
the excellent Heinkel Club being amongst
the largest in Europe.
