The Lambretta versions C and LC were introduced just 2 years after Innocenti began full scale manufacture and represented a completely revised design after the models A and B. The C was aimed at lower budget customers while the LC was marketed to a higher end clientele with its covered panels and elegant overall specification. The frame comprised of a single large section tube onto which al of the mechanical components were attached. The engine was similar to the preceding model B. The C was a popular model and the total production was 87500 units.
This well presented example in an attractive colour was previously owned by collector Craig Robinson known for his attention to detail in all matters of Lambretta. It is completely standard as far as we can see. The engine is running and we are informed was in full running order. Some attention needs to be made to adjust the teleflex gear cables to use it. The scooter has V5C for use on UK roads.
