Lot details
Registration No: 882 BOK
Frame No: 868910
Engine No: 867317
cc: 150
MOT Expiry Date: None
Lambretta's great rival Piaggio had upped the ante in the scooter market when they introduced the sporting GS150 prompting a response which emerged in the form of the TV175 quickly followed by the Li 150 and 125 models. The new machines were considerably larger than their predecessors and featured new power units and considerably revised styling although they retained the separate frame of their predecessors. The Series 1 machines were followed by the Series 2 models in 1959, which saw the headlight move to the handlebars and a rationalisation in production with more parts being common across the range.
This delightful Series 2 machine is finished in blue and white having benefitted from a well executed restoration. It is complimented by a contemporary Watsonian sidecar, finished in the same livery.
