I’ve had this pic knocking around in a folder for a while, shot during the filming of Starsky & Hutch – featuring a Serveta L150 Special in full NYPD livery. I’ve got another one of Huggy Bear fixing a Lambretta somewhere, just got to dig that out…

Roman Rozzers Ride
Another interesting scooter spotted on the popular online auction site… Well, I think it’s interesting. It’s an ex-
Rome Municipal Police Scooter, complete with original motif. A little different from the standard LI’s. And it’s a runner. Unfortunately, I don’t think it comes with the copper’s hat.
UPDATE: Luigi has got in touch from Italy pointing out that the coat of arms isn’t from Rome at all, but the city of Acqui Terme, in the province of Alessandria, which is in the Northern region of Piedmont. Thanks Luigi!
If you think it’s interesting too, check it out here.
Moldovan Lambretta Police
Since I announced, perhaps prematurely, the demise of the Lambretta LN, and the launch of the LamSport, I’ve been sent a link to the Official Moldova Government Ministry of Internal Affairs webpage, announcing that the Police had been presented with ten Lambretta LN’s for ‘daily activity in public places’. Further info on the LN will follow, when I discover more!

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.
