c. 1955 Lambretta LD150 Mk2
No Reserve
Registration No: Unregistered
Frame No: Not visible
MOT: Exempt
Extremely original and complete
Discovered in a house clearance
Tax disc shows 1963 last on road
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. There was also a small luggage box which housed the optional speedometer. The whole ride experience was much improved and the LD was subsequently a very popular model.
This example has been recently discovered in a house clearance in a dry garage and represents a viable restoration or conservation project. The chassis number could not be seen but only because the left hand side panel could not be removed at time of consignment. There are no documents but the presence of a tax disc may enable the interesting registration number which is not on the DVLA system to be regained.
