Description
With us at RFH Classics we have this wonderfully period correct 1957 Lambretta LD150, a scooter that perfectly captures the elegant simplicity and thoughtful engineering of mid-1950s Italian design. Finished in a very crisp New White with tasteful Blue detailing, this LD150 presents beautifully with a real presence about it. The enclosed bodywork and flowing lines give it a far more refined, almost automotive feel than many of its contemporaries, a design that still feels right today.
This particular scooter has had just two owners since arriving in the UK in 2011, with the most recent keeper enjoying it since 2016. It’s clearly been well cared for, retaining all the charm and character you would hope for, while remaining a usable and enjoyable classic rather than something overly delicate.
Produced by Innocenti, the LD series holds an important place in scooter history. Introduced in 1951 as a more refined and fully enclosed alternative to earlier designs, it was aimed at riders who wanted practicality and weather protection without losing that unmistakable Italian style. By the mid-1950s, Lambretta had become a true rival to Vespa and models like this LD150 played a big part in that success.
The 150cc engine offered a useful step up in performance over the earlier 125, while still delivering the smooth, easy-going riding experience that makes these scooters so enjoyable. Whether it’s for gentle weekend use, shows or simply as something a bit different to enjoy, it’s a scooter that feels special without being intimidating.
Today these early LD models are becoming increasingly sought after offering a combination of elegant styling, historical significance and genuine usability makes them a very appealing choice with good examples like this are not as easy to find as they once were.
This is your opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented 1957 Lambretta LD150 in a timeless colour combination, with known UK ownership and the kind of presence that makes it just as enjoyable to look at as it is to ride.
