Wanted Unlikely, but you never know: Lambretta wanted

[Cavcraft]

Anyone got a cheap but useable (i.e MOT''d, running and British registered) Lambretta for sale? Italian or Indian, I'm not fussed. I have a Vespa T5 Classic and up to maybe £1,000 (top whack) to add.

[strangeangel]

Cheap YES

Usable YES

Registered NO BUT EASY TO DO BRUV

Yo, fam, I've got an awful Chinese scooter already but thanks anyhow.

Mega long shot there mate.

 

The only thing on wheels I've ever made a massive profit on was my old GP200.

[Cavcraft]

There's still a few rough MOT'd ones about for a couple of grand, and the odd Indian GP200.

You know the details on my SX186. I hear Vietnamese imports are cheapy cheap though

Chap I went to today had an Indian Lamby.

 

Wasnt for sale though.

[Fabergé Greggs]

T5 huh? I could do my test on one of those... details?

[Cavcraft]

It's not really for sale, he said unhelpfully, I just want to part-ex it ideally.

No, but this resto must have been ridden by Big Daddy.

There's a scomadi for sale on the "scooters for sale" Facebook page in Sussex. £1800 which is cheap for one of those at the mo. I'll ride it up for you nae bother.

[Cavcraft]

I've seen that thanks, I did reply to him then got a private message from another member telling me to avoid Scomadis like the plague!

I'd love one of those Luna's or whatever they're called. So kooky.

[Fabergé Greggs]

oops double post

I remember that pic, it is (or was) a Vietnamese restoration*.

 

This chap works on scooters for a living, and some of the deathtrap Asian lash-ups he's worked on are terrifying...

I had a Lambretta fold up on me like that when riding through Altrincham 20 odd years ago. The frame tube had rotted out around the stand cross member. Fortunately, the fracture enabled the remains to fit in the back of a mk1 Fiesta van, so I could get the pile of shite home!

£1700 sheets B

In Euxton ( the posh bit of Chorley where they get out of the bath to have a wee)

[Cavcraft]

They have a few there that seem really fairly priced, cheers. I wouldn't mind lobbing £1,700 quid on one even if it means registering it and trying to get it running. Nice one M, thanks.
