The Appeal
If you know scooters, you know Arthur Francis - the name that defined British Lambretta tuning culture. The red and black bold colours, race-inspired lines, unmistakable style… and now, you can own this jaw-dropping tribute built with passion, precision, and pure scooter heritage.
This 1973 GP150 (200cc) pays homage to the late great Arthur Francis. It has been restored to a superlative standard and has covered a mere few miles since being restored for testing purposes. Classic scooter aficionados will note the iconic Arthur Francis two-tone paint scheme and Clubman exhaust. It's yet to be run in and, as such, is offered in beautiful condition, fresh from restoration.
