I’ve posted this chaps work before, but that was way back, and he is clearly a gentleman of great taste! Here’s some more shots I’ve found on his Facebook page.

Cliff Richard, Three’s up…
Reply
There’s a title I never thought I’d be posting on this blog. Don’t know who the other fellas are… Shadows? Is it me, or has the bloke perched on the back rack got a very small head?
Oh, for my readers abroad, Cliff Richard was our (Britain’s) equivalent of Elvis. Sort of. He had hits in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. And probably the 90’s too. Thankfully, I think he’s more or less stopped making records now, except at Christmas. Staying true to one of his earlier songs, he remains a Bachelor Boy to this day.
Israeli Police S1 and sidecar
Found this great shot of an Israeli Police scooter with sidecar. I’m digging through my archive shots, as I think I have a line up of Israel Police on TV 2’s… without sidecars… somewhere. If any Lambretta enthusiasts over in the holy land can help me out with any more information or pics, I’d appreciate it.
Easy rider…
If this geezer was any more laid back, he’d be in a coma…
The best thing about the Model A Lambretta?
Apart from being the first Lambretta, of course…
It did this. Was this the easiest scooter engine to work on, ever?
Jealous much?
Love this shot… nicely accessorised S2 getting a jealous look from a modern auto rider.
As an aside, apologies for A) the lack of updates last week… I was away for a bit… and B) the multiple IOW Lambretta days post…
Stay tuned for more updates next week.
RAC TV’s
I think they’re TV’s anyway. Unusual sidecars too! I expect they are a bit of a mobile toolbox! I’d love to see a colour pic of this… I’m guessing the scoots and sidecars were finished in RAC colours… a dark, navy blue! I bet the AA were jealous!
Unusual Lambretta D for Sale
Saw this over at the Classic Cars For Sale website. Looks great in the colour scheme of dark blue and brown. Personally, I love seeing these older Lambrettas in non standard colours, purists may disagree. Although I’m no expert on these older machines, everything looks likes it’s there… even a few added extras (which if original, are probably worth a few bob). I particularly like the spare wheel trim with the extra rear light… something I can’t recall seeing before. The yellow number plate looks really out of place, but that’s easily sorted. At £1,750 it seems fairly priced to me too. See more here.
She usually starts first kick…
We’ve all been there. Your Lammie always starts first or second kick. Unless there is somebody nearby that you want to impress, or you’re selling it, and somebody has come for a test drive. Temperamental beasts, Lambrettas… they don’t like being taken for granted. Not even by Dino!
Just some J’s…
I’ve written about the J Range before, here, and here. This months Scootering magazine has a good article on buying a J too. I came across this article that gives an overview of these “Lambretta Smallframes”. Some nice images too, especially as it’s on a Vespa blog!
