A vintage scooter that featured on screen in the cult classic Quadrophenia is going under the hammer.
The 1977 Lambretta GP200 ridden by Phil Davis’ character Chalky is up for grabs.
The 1979 film which depicts the life of a young-mod played by Phil Daniels, in 1964 who leaves his dead end job to party, fight and ride his scooter.

Based on The Who’s iconic rock opera of the same name, the film gained a huge cult following and is still very popular today.
The film also features famous faces such as Ray Winstone and Sting.
Phil Davis, who rode this particular model, stated that all the young actors learned how to ride mopeds whilst on set during filming.
Now this piece of silver screen memorabilia will be heading under the hammer with an estimated price of £11,000.
The Lambretta also featured at the premiere for the film at The Plaza on Regent street, London in 1979.
The exterior of the 47-year-old scooter is finished in a white and red colourway topped by a leopard print fabric seat cover.
The scooter also features a plethora of wing mirrors, as it did when featuring on screen
In its current state the scooter runs well and the new owner will receive a V5 for use on the road, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
The Lambretta will now head under the hammer on 30 October, at the National motorcycle museum, in Solihull.
A spokesperson for H and H classics, who are hosting the event, said: “As one of the principal scooters in one of the most important cult films of our times, this scooter and its part in contemporary popular culture.
“Together with the provenance that accompanies, should be of major interest to collectors of rock memorabilia and historical scooters.
“The scooter went through South West Scooters in Yeovil, who returned it to its Quadrophenia appearance and attached the original accessories our vendor had kept for all of those years.
“These included the mirrors, Cuppini rear and front racks, front crash bars and Ulma front bumper which are all the original pieces.
“As of 2024, the scooter is ‘in good running order’ and still with its original SIL GP200 engine, which fired-up easily on our visit.
“It has a current V5 and can be used on the road.”
