To mark the recent Burn’s Night celebrations, I thought I’d post this terrific tartan bedecked Series 1, that’s for sale over on eBay. The eBay description is as follows:
“1959 Series 1 Lambretta in outstanding condition.
Rare crossover model which for even more interesting pedigree, Framebreather frame loop on a non-breather frame, as confirmed by several sources to be fully authentic Framebreather end production run crossover.
She has a small block 200 top end and rides amazingly, plenty of get up and go and handles like a dream.
12v electronics for reliability and quality engine internals.
Comes with Feridax flyscreen, Tartan accessories, period stars and accessories,
Original Trombone rack
New BGM tyres & tubes make for perfect all round handling and ride.”
Personally, it’s the decals that make this scooter – I don’t know if it’s actually been to Pisa, Rome, Amsterdam, Innsbruck and the other one that I can’t work out – but I wouldn’t be surprised!
One eBay here.
Came across a 
nteresting scrambler on eBay, no visible frame numbers, so it will have to remain an “off-roader”, but it’s got visible engine numbers. The fish-tail exhaust is pretty cool!
Spotted this pretty little Triumph on eBay. Lovely clean lines for a scooter that doesn’t originate in Italy! Dare I say, it’s prettier than a J? Dare I? Nah, not on here. But’s it’s close. It apparently “drives very nice” and “everything works as it should” (Buyers words, so do your own checks). It’s listed at a pretty reasonable £1,950, but he’s open to offers, as he’s not sure how much it’s worth. I’d say he’s pitched it about right?
You wait ages for a SX200, and then two come along at once. If you’ve had a hankering after one of the most beautiful models of Lambretta ever made, pop over to eBay (links below), as there’s a brace of near identical scoots on there at the moment. Both for sale at around about the £11k mark (One is asking £500 too much, or too little, depending on your viewpoint).
Loving this little Sprint Rack Toolbag… just big enough for a can of two stroke, a mix jug, and a couple of spanners… or a doorstop cheese & pickled onion sandwich and a snickers. Comes complete with an ali backing plate to bolt onto your sprint rack. I think this is a classy item, I hope me calling it a sporran won’t put you off purchasing 🙂
