Full known history
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. The Mk3 also known as the ’57 was only produced for one year and had a cast handlebar top which held the speedometer display and a redesigned larger rear light.
This example we are told is in good running condition with a 125 cc top. By all accounts it has been cherished over the years. With its original number and full known history via the documents file. The scooter comes with a period top box and is supplied with a large amount of spares parts including a complete 150 LD engine, forks, front and wheels with hubs, seat covers and more.
