I've always loved this scooter! I remember reading your story years ago in scootering magazine long before you restored it. I saw it on display at the IOW custom show a couple of years ago and it didn't disappoint!
It's A very nice LI without all the history but the personal connection and history you have with this scooter make it an extremely special Lambretta and also make it priceless to you.
Keep enjoying it, John.

lovely Ray. I bet she is tucked up in a nice dry and warm garage all ready for the better weather.

Great to see you kept it all that time - there's something about keeping stuff that means something, even if modern times might question the logic.
Good on you - and here's to loads more years with it.
