Were there any classic British Mopeds?

I know there were lots of classy brit bikes for many decades, but what about british designed/built mopeds from yesteryear?

for all i heard from the 60s were lambretta's an they sound like Wop bikes.

A friend of mine had a NVT (Norton Villiers Triumph) moped of some description. Haven't a clue what it looked like now as it was circa 1977 & he bought it second hand.

I've got an engine in the shed called a Trojan Mini Motor, I think from the '50s, it was for converting a bicycle to a moped. Apparently had a top speed of 22mph and did 240mpg.

The NVT was an "Easy Rider". One of them did look like a sports moped and have a 4 speed box. Also BSA did the Brigand and Beaver just after.
