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.

Lambretta Ladies

Posted on July 18, 2012 by crocodilejock

I’ve posted some pics of Lambretta’s with young ladies draped over them before… recently featuring the work of Laurent Callot, and a collection called SX Appeal… but as you can never have too much of a good thing, here’s a few more. Very sexy shots, and the ladies aren’t bad either. I don’t know where these come from originally, but these come from a collection on the excellent “The Sooterist” blog. Check it out, he always posts good stuff.

I found this fella via the Lambretta Club de France Facebook page, he would appear to be;
A) French. B) A photographer C) Intersted in Lambrettas D) Also interested in young ladies with a ‘well turned ankle’, usually wearing stockings. Nothing wrong with that.

Nice images anyway… some great quirky shots of the scooters at the “3 eme rassemblement national Lambretta”. Check out his Facebook page here.

(I know the last one’s not a Lambretta).

TC on an LD

Posted on June 21, 2011 by crocodilejock

Love this picture of the late, great Tony Curtis on an LD. That’s the actor Tony Curtis, not my good mate, the equally great, and thankfully not late Tony Curtis.
Who incidentally is also a Lambretta aficionado. Anyway, I’m getting sidetracked here, the main pint of this post is to find out what movie this picture was from… any film buff Lambretta lovers out there?
Answers in a postcard, or, and this is probably easier, in the comments.

UPDATE:

Checking the IMCDB (Internet Movie Car Database) I’ve found the film this still is from – a movie called “Paris – When It SIzzles” from 1964, a film I can’t believe I haven’t seen as it stars, amongst others; William Holden, Audrey Hepburn, Noël Coward, Marlene Dietrich and Frank Sinatra. It’s on my ‘to watch’ list!

SX Appeal

Posted on April 15, 2011 by crocodilejock

A bit of ScootErotica for the gentlemen readers… Sex had been used to sell scooters, and everything else since day one. New York Scooter Club has pulled together a ton of pictures of young (mostly) ladies, draped over various scooters, in various states of dress, and undress.
