Title: Lambretta 125 LD
Post by: Eureka on October 31, 2013, 05:51:51

Many years ago I somehow got interested in scooters and I placed an advert in a country newspaper's 'wanted to buy' section.  Someone from a farm called and I bought a 1952 Lambretta 125 LD.  125 cc two-stroke with shaft drive.  It's pretty complete, but a non-runner.   Recently I was thinking of selling it but I resisted.  Perhaps I will get it going one day.  The cheap option would be to leave the panels as they are but get the mechanics fixed properly.  It seems to require a few special tools for mechanical work.

I'll see what I can do, but I am a techno-peasant so I will not make any promises on pics.

Mine is the same model as the one shown in the b/w picture at top/left in Rusty's link.  Two round port holes in the motor side panels, no 'glove box' behind the leg shields.  No speedo.
