The Appeal
Lambretta is so innately linked with Modernist culture that more than 60 years later, it's still being used for trips cross-country in gigantic, multicoloured flotillas driven by Quadrophenia fans. It's one of the most iconic vehicles ever built as a result, with a superb support network and easily accessible parts.
If you're looking for an avenue into the TV - "Turismo Veloce" - Scooter, this one is your ideal opportunity. Picked out in a striking livery of metallic green and copper, this unique mount was subject to restoration in 2016, and really is a fabulous looker. It's been kept largely in dry storage and has racked up only around 500 miles since.
The result is a sensibly upgraded, highly unique machine that deserves plenty of admiration - and we're sure it'll get it at auction.
