Really. This is NOT a wind up. Well, I suppose being a clock, it might be a bit of a wind up 😉 I featured Bradford Exchange Lambretta Egg a while back, and I was a bit uncertain about the concept. Well, I’m not uncertain about this little gem… It’s absolutely crap! Why would you want to style a cuckoo clock of all things with Lambretta trim and branding.
I can only imagine anybody buying this for kitchy novelty reasons… and £125 is a bit much for a bad joke. it’s sooo bad I initially thought it was a Viz style wind-up. The sad thing is, the quality of the modelling of the actual scooters looks pretty good… I haven’t seen one in the flesh of course. Just flog the scooters as a model on a wooden plynth like this and forget about making crappy cuckoo clocks. If anybody has the good taste to own a Lambretta, they ain’t going to buy one of these…
If I’m wrong, (and please tell me in the comments if you think I am!) and you would be delighted to own one of these “mastercrafted wall-hanging tribute showcases’ …would thrill to seeing appear and scooter rotate every hour, accompanied by the authentic, throaty roar of an original SX 200 engine… you can get hold of one here. Or you might want to check that the whole things not a joke.

Keep checking eBay. They don’t make them any more, but occasionally one comes up for sale.

They were £125 when you could get hold of one. They don’t make them anymore… You could try getting in touch with the Bradford exchange for one, but I doubt they’s have any. Antiques fairs and eBay are your best bets.

They may be a novelty clock but are actually very well made and extremely accurate . The engine sound can be turned off anytime . I have owned one for years and still the grandkids ask me to turn it on and watch the scooter rotate. If your a scooter / mod freak like me get hold of one if you can .
