Is No3 a Lohner? An L125 maybe?

That's right. Not an original design, though - it was the Italian Bianchi Orsetto made under licence.

No 3 is already solved - it's the DKR Defiant (see Reply #1 under the puzzle pictures).

Yes, a really high quality scooter made by the German Triumph Company, founded by Siegfried Bettmann after he established the Triumph bicycle factory in the UK. These machines were marketed in the UK, but under the brand name TWN (Triumph Werke Nürnberg) to distinguish them from the British Triumph products.

And another one correct - good work so far!

1 Dürkop Diana?

Tom_I · « **Reply #42 on:** October 09, 2012, 05:49:46 PM »

Yes, that's it (except that Dürkopp has two 'P's).

That's right. An Italian design first built by d'Ieteren in Belgium before production was taken up by Cyclemaster in the UK. Probably one of the least successful scooters of all time, but highly collectable now.

#18: James 150 Scooter

Yes, made by one of the UK's oldest motorcycle manufacturers. The artwork is a bit odd - they made several publicity pictures like this with strangely out-of-focus people.

Good solid solving so far - only two left!

# 10 : Phoenix scooter

Yes, it is. A low-volume production British scooter available with various Villiers single or twin cylinder engines. This is the 150cc version.

I also found an advert with a terrible slogan (for non-English speakers, you say 150 as "one-fifty", so it rhymes with "nifty" and "thrifty").
