One of my mate Jeff Steel at the club purchased a Red Vespa scooter we were all very envious.
It was the start of the large groups of scooters around the town in Worcester, it great seeing all the Lambretta's SX150 LI175 with all the mirrors & lights, just wished I could have owned one.
Found out that a works colleague who lives in Stoke on Trent & in his late 40's has got a fully restored Lambretta SX150 which he restored himself, he kindly sent a photo to me.
It is in such nice condition I had to put it onto the web page.
Fully restored Lambretta SX150 what a cracking scooter.

Historical Facts
|
Over 50 years have passed since 1946, when a revolutionary two-wheeled vehicle called Vespa was presented in Rome. It was compact, with the engine concealed in a steel body and an "aeronautic" design. Its concept and name were the fruit of Enrico Piaggio's intuition, while its structure took shape on the design table of aeroplane and helicopter engineer Corradino D'Ascanio. The Vespa would very soon become a cult vehicle. To date, 16 million units have been sold throughout the world. Vespa is a concept which represents the desire for freedom of entire generations. It is one of the best-known brands in the world, one of the few Italian words recognised in every country. The success story continues with the Vespa ET, launched in 1996 to flank the Vespa PX, which has sold two million units worldwide since its birth in 1978 and is still in production. The ET range includes the Vespa ET2 Injection (the first scooter in the world with a two stroke direct injection engine), the Vespa ET4 125cc four-stroke and the latest model, the Vespa ET4 150, powered by a new four stroke Piaggio LEADER (Low Emission Advanced Engine Range) unit. |
