There’s an App for everything these days… even for us Lambretta aficionados! Compatible with your iPhone, Ipod Touch and iPad. It has images and the history of every Lambretta, from the origainnal Model A onwards. Designed by Andrea Novelli from Lambretta Club Lazio, it’ appears to be in Italian only, although at 59p it’s a must have for any iPhone owning Lambretta fan. In fact the Italian element only adds to the Apps authenticity for me! Download it from iTunes here.
Sycronicity at work again, posted up that link to a group of eBay barn finds (hit the link or just scroll down), and then I stumble across this lovely page about Manurin scooters. So, with a little time, know how, patience and elbow grease your resto project could look something like this.
There’s a selection of weird and wonderful scooters on eBay, from this fella. All of them look like they need a fair bit of work, and don’t come with any documents as they were barn finds.
There’s a couple of LD’s in there, as well as a Vespa Sportique, a Triumph T10, a BSA Sunbeam (or it maybe a Triumph Tigress… they’re pretty much the same beast), a Jawa Manet, and a Manuhin Concorde. None of them are much money (at the moment anyway). If you fancy something different, and you’re handy with a spanner, you might be able to grab yourself a bargain.
Classic Lambretta’s were tricky to get hold of. However, those clever Soviets produced their own version. The 200cc Tula Tourist isn’t as pretty as a SX, that’s for sure, but I’ve seen uglier scoots. This one if for sale over at Car and Classic… here. £750 or near offer.
Saw this,
Like Lambretta’s? Like Fire engines? You’ll love these images then. Get a photographic print from Rex Features, staring from just a tenner. They’ve also got some great shots of the Lambretta assembly line at the original Innocenti factory.
Don’t know if you caught Rock and Chips (a prequel to Only Fools and Horses) by the late, great John Sullivan. To be honest, I think it’s a bit hit and miss, comedy wise. The star of the show is supposed to be James Buckley as a young Del Boy, but for my money it’s his lovely Series 1 Lambretta.
Well, the video is two minutes… the build took considerably longer!
