The Attractions
It is difficult to gauge how important the Lambretta has been to modern popular culture and the history of mobility. These little scooters offered freedom and endless new possibilities to entire generations, making it easy and inexpensive to buy a means of transport for the first time and offering a fun and exciting riding experience, just like the legendary little Mini, Fiat 500 and other similar cars, with which they share a timeless charm that makes them still instantly recognisable and much loved today.
This beautiful slimline example was restored in the 1990s and was kept with care and love by a passionate owner until 2010. After that it was mostly idle, kept in a dry garage, and is now ready to get back on the road. We are sure it will be a very rewarding project for its next lucky owner.
