Description
A lovely example of a Lambretta 100 Cento, a historic vehicle in Cream. The scooter is declared manufactured in 1965, it is great running order, it has had 2 brand new tyres fitted and has a brand new trye on its spare wheel. It has a brand new original seat. Owned by my 85 year old Dad, who has shown it at a few vintage rallies each years as a hobby during his ownership. Sadly over the last year Dad's mobility has decreased & he has decided to sell due to his old age & Mum having surgery. Dad will consider sensible offers but as the vehicle is in great condition & he has only showed it approximately 7 times during his ownership, he would like to get the money back he paid for it, so please no time wasters.
The Lambretta 100 Cento is becoming increasing difficult to find, especially this good condition, exactly as pictured, a lovely scooter for an enthusiast who can have fun with it at the vintage shows like Dad used to.

It was developed as an economical scooter, identifiable by it's slim design without a horn casting (a distinct feature of its pressed-steel body).
It is known for being relatively lightweight compared to the Li range of the same era. Which is handy when showing the vehicle.
1964 & 1965 models are considered to be rare in restored condition due to their age.
