I've owned this since 1989, from 1990-92 it was my only means of transportation, and since then, its use has steadily declined until the MOT expired a couple of years ago. (A Mk1 Cavalier began to eat up all my spare time!) It's a total bitsa, comprising of parts from all of the series three Lambretta models, and when I first assembled all the bits I had, just to assess what parts would be required, it looked like this.
After tracking down what was missing, then giving it a good painting up, I ended up with this.
Feeling pretty pleased with myself, it carted me around for the next couple of years, blessed with the kind of reliability that only comes with an engine built from parts found on people's garage floors.
