Lot 158: 1958 HMW 49cc Conny

Austria�s Halleiner Motorenwerk A.G. was a major engine manufacturer, set up in 1946. As well as supplying many thousands of engines and clip-on units to other makers, the company also made and sold its own range of mopeds, mo-kicks and scooters. Amongst these were very popular light scooters, fore-runners of the modern city versions, one of which, designed to appeal to trendy females, was the �Conny�, named after the popular pop singer of the country, Conny Froeboss. Offered here is a rare �special edition�, the museum�s �Conny� has been on display for over 25 years, thus remaining in comparatively un-worn, if rather faded condition. Complete and original, �Conny� will respond well to a little loving care.
