The Lambretta model B was first introduced in the November 1948 and represented numerous and substantial improvements over the preceding Model A. The wheels were increased to 8 inch as opposed to the previous 7 inch, a larger fuel tank, more efficient suspension and the adoption of a teleflex hand gear change instead of the previous foot change system. Around 37, 000 were produced in total in the 15 months the B was in production.
This 1950 example is at the end of the production run of the Model B in original paint and with a deep and attractive patina. The scooter was imported directly from Italy in 2022. The engine is free and turning. It comes with a number of spare parts including the original floor runners and end caps. The extra parts required are supplied on a short list and can almost all be sourced from Casa Lambretta. A rewarding conservation project.
