Lambrettas have been raced since the very early days of production. Innocenti themselves had experimented with racing versions since 1948 with the Model A and then the Model B, which it is said could achieve 70mph but it was only with the arrival of the Model B that racing at speed became viable with several factory versions always painted Red, dealer versions and private individual built machines appearing. In 1949 Innocenti built a record breaker based on the Model C which was developed to produce 13hp at 8800rpm in ‘supercharged’ form, more than triple the original scooter’s output. By 1952 there were numerous endurance races all across Italy including the ‘Giro de Lombardi e Piemonte’, the ‘Giro D’Italia’ and regular track racing at Monza and Imola. This inspired a whole scene of Lambretta racers and a supply industry of tuning services and the parts required for the machines.

In Great Britain, this tradition was emulated by Lambretta aficionados, in particular, the now retired ‘Red Devils’ creator Lambretta guru Howard Chambers of Southampton. Howard Chambers has confirmed the supply of some parts and assistance in the creation of this Mike Webster-built racer. Some of the unique features include:

• Original 1950s friction suspension stiffeners
• Original Veglia Speedometer
• Vortex cylinder head
• Custom made Red racing dual seat
• 12v Ducati electronic conversion
• Original Dellorto carburettor
• Extended centre stand
• Toolbox with key
• 10-inch wheels
• Bespoke 10-inch wheel carrier for the Model D
• Drinks holder
• Handlebar time clock
• Original period switches
• Fixed and handlebar double headlight
• Racing plates
• Bespoke auxiliary motorcycle-style fuel tank
• 2 fuel taps
• Leg shield rubber trim
• Extended exhaust pipe

We understand that this scooter completed the famous 2011 Milan to Taranto race and still has its personal race plates. This is a very attractive, and we are told, quick, racing-style Lambretta hand-built by one of the best-known and respected scooter experts in the UK.
