The Lambretta LD Mk1 was first introduced in 1951 as a 125cc model as a successor to the LC. It had covered panels over a tubular frame and had the addition of a torsion bar. This feature remained on all Lambrettas until 1958. The LD also had springs enclosed in the front forks. The Mk2 had a number of improvements. The rear brake was now cable controlled and the gears used a single teleflex cable. The Mk3 also known as the ’57 was only produced for one year and had a cast handlebar top which held the speedometer display and a redesigned larger rear light.
This example has been subject to a well considered and complete restoration in 2014 in one of the unique original colours of the time by Disco Dez Scooters known for their quality and prolific output of accurate machines. Still in really nice condition it was fully running when parked up a few years ago. The engine turns freely although no attempt was made to start it at time of consignment.
