Dad's new 'baby'

[josh.p.]

My Dad used to ride a Lambretta in his youth and has wanted one ever since. He found this beauty online and had to buy it. It's a 1964 lambretta LI150 (I think) In fantastic condition. I'm not sure how much he'll use it but he really loves it so far! He's calling it a second childhood but I call it a midlife crisis :wink: I want to use it to drive to uni but my license doesn't allow me!

the lambretta's are cool better than the vespas as the engine is in the middle rather than on one side...looks in great nick josh :)

I am jealous of him, he wouldn't even let me ride it round the block! I badly want a go.

My brothers would drool all over that. They each had a variety of scooters in their younger days.

This thread sure takes me back.
In my youth I had a Lambretta SX200 in the days of the Mods & Rockers.
To follow the trend, I adorned mine with loads of chrome fittings including 16 [yes 16] wing mirrors, font and rear carriers, roll bars etc.etc.
I rode it wearing my parka with the obligatory Union jack flag on the back. :lol:
Those were the days.

Oh foo! :thumbsdown:

All I ever had was a lousy Vespa and it got stolen! :mad:

Tom (:macwave:... I'm so... what's the word? deprived... or depraved if you prefer :ROFL:)

Yep, a false one I hasten to add.
It matched the fake fur around the hood of my parka. :lol:
