Add Your Photos!
One of the most interesting machines I saw at the 2007 Stinkwheel. It is a 1959 DKR Defiant scooter – British made 197cc machine with electric start and four speed gearbox,
Dear Sir,
many years ago as a teenager I had a DKR Defiant as pictured. Now retired I have a Vespa but hanker for the DKR. Do you have a link to wherever I might be able to advertise to purchase one to bring to Australia. Any condition.
I have been on Bonham’s email list for three years for no result.
Hoping you can advise,
Cheers,
John,

John,
This is definately a rare machine now. They do not come on the open market usually although a 1957 Dove, in need of tlc, sold on e-bay for over £1500 last year.The only one I have seen for sale! Indeed body parts are even harder to find, I have been trying to find a whole new front for my Pegasus for several years.

I have recently had the front nose cone halves and dash top moulds made, I am now looking at making moulds for the knee guards. please let me know if you need a fibreglass front end
would anyone now where i could get any panel beading from, I have a dkr manx 250 had it from new 1959 vespa and lambretta beading no good different profile 29/8/2014
I have used Austin Somerset wing beading not sure how it compares to original but works ok
woollies car upholstery supplies do beading..p profile which has a big flange and is available in various colours looks very much original when fitted

Dear All,
I just bought a DKR Pegasus. But I’m missing the left rear panel (the one you need to remove to get acces to the engine).
Does anybody has one for sale? I want to pay a good price.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Best regards,
Bas
I managed to get hold of fibreglass panels for my Manx. The flange section is wider, but can be cut down.

Moulds for the DKR knee guards are now complete

Hi, I have a DKR Pegasus, in Malta. Unfortunately I am missing the head light and tail light. As I am well aware it is very difficult to get hold of these scooter parts, and was wondering if anyone might suggest an alternative. Maybe a firm which can do them from scratch??
hi renald mick from England ,has your rear light three bulbs or just the one, and headlight do you want the rim or glass as well
Before going over to a motorcycle i had scooters, first a Vespa then a Lambretta and finally a DKR. The DKR was by far the best for handling and comfort, happy memories finding this page
