The Lambretta LD Mk1 was first introduced in 1951 as a 125cc model as a successor to the LC. It had covered panels over a tubular frame and had the addition of a torsion bar. This feature remained on all Lambrettas until 1958. The LD also had springs enclosed in the front forks. The Mk2 had a number of improvements. The rear brake was now cable controlled and the gears used a single teleflex cable. There was also a small luggage box which housed the optional speedometer. The whole ride experience was much improved and the LD Mk2 was subsequently a very popular model.

This complete example is in good condition in our opinion. It was purchased from the estate of a Somerset collector who had restored it using a local well respected painter in attractive colour scheme. It is also adorned with some period accessories. We understand it was running around 10 years ago in order to get an MOT and some MOT certificates are supplied from that time. The scooter is also supplied with the original buff log book showing it was first registered in Sussex on 23rd November 1956. With original parts all over it would not take much in our opinion to recommission this attractive example.
