The Background
One of the most iconic vehicles of the 20th century the Lambretta was at the heart of mod culture that helped define a generation. The series three LI production ran from 1961 to 1967 and was the first of the “slim style” Lambrettas.
The LI represents one of Innocenti’s most popular ever models and is a much sought after piece of motoring history.

The History
We don’t know much about the history of this Lambretta, however the current owner has kept it in their office as decoration since purchasing it in early 2017. Three owners since it’s registration in 2012.
The Paperwork
The bike comes with the V5, but that's it. Unfortunately there is no further paperwork documenting the work carried out on the engine or the rest of the bike.
The condition
The bike is in fantastic condition overall, with no wear or damage visible. The seat, instruments and rubber floor mat are all in good condition and combined with the Harlequin paint job this bike really stands out as an excellent example.
From the whitewall tires to the branded spare wheel cover the condition throughout is excellent, the Union Jack on the sides fits perfectly with the style of this bike and is the perfect finish touch.

The Mechanics
Since the current owner purchased the bike it hasn’t been ridden and has been stored indoors, as such the mechanics look to be in the same condition as the rest of the bike; excellent.
The Appeal
Speaking of looks, the combination of the Harlequin paint job, the Union jack on the sides, the whitewall tires and the excellent condition of the bike throughout make this Lambretta really stand out. With it’s retro good looks and surprising performance this is one not to miss!

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
