Don’t know much about this pic, just one I ‘discovered on Facebook. (If you haven’t popped over to the Facebook page yet, it’s here…). Both owner and dog look happy… and why wouldn’t they! The gingham curtains are a nice touch!

Original skelly
Reply
Now this is a pic! Bit of a dude on a homemade skelly… all er, “accessories” look very improvised. And I kinda love it!
Those of you who’ve been paying attention may have noticed a “lull’ in blog updates of late, sorry about that other commitments/events have taken priority lately. But I’ll be back with new content as soon as poss. KTF.
Rare Ridgeback, Reduced.
To be honest, I’d never even heard of a “ridgeback” Lambretta before. Luckily it has nothing to do with hard-as-nails Rhodesian dogs, but it’s a rare early TV2. A TV2 that has a weld, or ridge, running down both sides of the frame tube. Apparently this was removed after frame numbers *108… so they’re as rare as the proverbial rocking horse excrement. 
This one comes fully loaded with authentic period accessories, and a five digit number plate. It’s just had a grand knocked off the price, hence the headline. And you can buy it on eBay here.
Mucking about on Lambretta Choppers
These guys are old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway. I’ve never been a particular fan of the chopped Lammy, but this looks like fun!
I’m guessing they are part of this mob: Lambretta Choppers Owners Club (great pics on their website).
Green Monza
Tastefully modded Lambretta GP 200 with a Monza 225 lump and a ton of sporty upgrades. Numbers & Logos are laser cut vinyls and can be removed with a hair dryer if not required. A £7k build, Yours for a Classified Ad price of £5,295.00 on eBay
“Been modified”
That’s the seller notes in the eBay description. Two words. “Been modified”. You could say that! And in the description: “BEEN MADE A LOT SMALLER THAN A STANDARD LI150” You could say that! This would be a fun novelty scooter to have a part of a Lambretta collection.
Supertune Gulf GP
So you like the livery of the Bambini sidecar combo I posted the other day, but don’t need a sidecar? Well there’s a Supertune GP on eBay that might float your boat. That lever sticking out from the sidepanel? A custom heel/toe rear brake. Here it is on eBay
There’s that eBay link again.
While I was nosing around on eBay, I found this original Vintage Gulf Racing jacket (from the 1971 racing season), which would set off the scoot nicely! Here’s the link.
Barenaked S1
I think this bare metal, all original bodywork Series 1 looks magnificent. It’s for sale on eBay here
Fast ‘Hot Rod’ S1 on eBay
I started noticing this look around a few years ago… based on 50’s rodded cars (and bikes, I suppose) I think it works really well on older style Lambrettas. 
This is no ordinary Series 1, I won’t go over the full specs, which are on eBay, but it’s got a RB250 lump in it, and most of the steel has been replaced by fibreglass. If it’s your cuppa… Here it is on eBay
New Diablo Mid-Range Tanks
Hot on the heels of yesterday’s post about JL Polishing, Johnny Lambrettista*, (the JL in JL Polishing, for those that are paying attention) go in touch with a bit of a scoop for the blog.
As well as making bits of metal very shiny, Johnny is the now the fella behind the famous Diablo Tanks – THE best custom made long range fuel tanks for series 1, 2 and 3 lambretta’s on the market today. Diablo Tanks have established an unrivalled reputation over 10 years producing hundreds of tanks for touring scooters. Johnny took over the ownership and distribution of Diablo Tanks after the closure of Diablo Moto, and has maintained the design, construction and quality that mark them out.
Not prepared to rest on their laurels, Diablo are developing a new, mid-range tank, The “Rapido Midi”. Above are shots of one of the prototype Rapido Midi tanks in situ. Keeping the traditional Diablo features of the rolled edges, large cutouts (either left or right side) for all set ups, and Lambretta filler necks. Fixing brackets will be supplied with the tank. They will be ready for sale and on the Diablo Tanks website soon, but you read it here first. A price guide of £229 + postage.
*Still no relation 🙂
