The Lambretta model D Mk1 125 was first introduced in 1951 at the Milan Motorcycle fair as a successor to the model C. It had a tubular frame and because the engine did not now have to support the 2 halves as the C did the engine could now move and had the addition of a torsion bar. This feature remained on all Lambrettas until 1958. The D also had springs enclosed in the front forks. The rear brake was rod operated and the gears used a single teleflex cable. The power was driven directly by shaft direct to the back wheel. The whole ride experience was much improved and the D was subsequently a very popular model.
This example is a nicely presented scooter. We are informed it is in running condition as can be seen from the accompanying video supplied by the vendor. It also has a rare and sought after front mudguard Innocenti accessory crest. With V5C it is ready to use on the roads.
