The Lambretta Li150 series 2 was launched in October 1959. Based on the successful series 1, the obvious difference was the position of the headlight on the handlebars for better lighting when cornering. It had an engine based on the Li150 series 1 but with an increased stroke and several other small modifications that made it the best selling Lambretta of all time. This is a fully mechanically uprated scooter with high-cost performance upgrades. These include a genuine SX200 engine casing with 225 cylinder using a GP200 4 speed gearbox with 19 tooth front sprocket, 28mm Carburettor LHT Reed manifold and Clubman big bore exhaust. With a long range fuel tank and, we understand, new engine cowls. The seat is a Scoots and Soul custom item and there is also a custom black leather tool bag. The front brake is a red caliber disc ‘anti-dive’ reverse pull conversion, the rear shock is an adjustable Hagi version and the front shock a Targa line. Also supplied with a period inside leg shield spare wheel carrier and rear sprint rack. Offered for sale with an attractively low reserve.
