The Lambretta Li Series 1 was launched in April 1958. Some 7 months after the TV175 series 1 was launched. By then Innocenti had eliminated most of the engine problems that the TV175 Series 1 had. The Li150 was a dramatic departure from the shaft-driven LD range that had preceded it. The new enclosed chain driven engine was centrally positioned under the frame and had more power than the LD. With larger 10 inch wheels and beautifully designed panel work it was a superb scooter to ride and was an instant hit. Coupled with beautiful styling it is a machine hugely sought after for many years by collectors.
This extremely original example is untouched except for an amateur over-paint which could be removed with solution. The scooter is extremely straight and the panels are excellent apart from the front mudguard. The extremely rare and original Covolo seat is working, with a seat catch and grab handles. Upon examination we noted that the originality is indeed impressive. The original cables appear to have never been removed. The hand levers are the correct type with the slotted cut out. All of the original rubbers are present including for the front mudguard and this could be the basis of a very smart restoration or conservation with all original and hard to find parts present and reusable. No attempt has yet been made to start her and the engine is 'locked'.
