LD BOGOF

Screen_shot_2011-07-14_at_15
Used to seeing BOGOF’s (Buy one, get one free) down at Tesco’s on cans of beans and the like, but here’s the opportunity to buy one classic Lamby and get another free.
I wish I had a spare Series 2… (actually, I wish I had a spare Series 1, I’ve got some plans drawn up for that… anybody got a straight wreck they want taken off their hands?)
Anyway back to the LD’s… here’s they are on eBay. Let me know if you buy ’em!

Stacey wants a Cento

Welcomeimg

Word had reached Lambrettista Towers that mod cook Stacey Stewart, (you know, the girl with the beehive that was on Masterchef), is in the market for a Lambretta Cento. 

She probably read my article about the J-range scoots here, or saw this lovely example.
Anyway, if you have one, or know of one for sale, let me know and I’ll pass it on.
Or if you fancy trying Stacey’s award winning cakes check out her website, here

EDIT: If you like the look of that Series 2 (it’s clearly a 3!) Stacey is sitting on, you’re in luck. She’s flogging on eBay. It’s an Italian, 1968 LI 125, recently restored, in metallic silver and midnight blue. Good to go and need no work. It’s in Newcastle, and there are a load more pics and information on eBay, here.   

 

UPDATE: Stacie’s sold her Series 3 (dur, I wrote Series 2 before!), and got herself a J125 Starstream. Nice one Stacie.

Back in the USSR

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. 

And if you want to check out more information about Tula scooters, Autosoviet is a great site.

If I had it, I’d probably paint it bright red, with a big hammer and sickle and CCCP on the side panel. But maybe that’s just a bit obvious.
