MOT: Exempt

  • Correct numbers
  • Imported from Italy in 2015
  • All original parts re-used or from Casa Lambretta Milan
  • 74 years old and a rare 1940s model
  • V5C for UK roads

The Lambretta Model B was first introduced on the 11th December 1949 and represented numerous and substantial improvements over the preceding Model A. The wheels were increased to 8 inch as opposed to the previous 7 inch, a larger fuel tank, more efficient suspension and the adoption of a hand gear change instead of the previous foot change system.

This example was subject to a high quality restoration whilst in Italy and has recently been the central show-piece of a well-known UK collector. A restoration of this magnitude would cost many thousands of pounds and it appears to be correctly restored in every way. It is a beautiful example indeed. She has recently been seen running and sounded fantastic, however, a carb clean and tune is recommended after being dormant on display for some time. These 1940s Lambrettas are tipped as good investment value. This example has been restored well and in the correct Red Metallic colour. It represents a great opportunity for a collector. A V5C is present for UK roads.
