Lambretta Li 125 SERIES 1 FRAMEBREATHER

THIS ABSOLUTE GEM OF A SCOOTER IS A SERIES 1 FRAMEBREATHER REGISTERED IN THE UK ON 05/01/1959. IT IS NOT AN IMPORT.
I BOUGHT THE SCOOTER FOR MY COLLECTION IN 2010. IT WAS A ONE OWNER FROM NEW (GENTLMAN FROM LUTON) AND NOW MYSELF.
THE SCOOTER WAS ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE IN ITS ENTIRETY JUST MINUS THE KICKSTART. HE SAID HE HAD TAKEN IT OFF BECAUSE HE KEPT CATCHING HIS LEG ON IT WHEN HE WENT INTO THE SHED.
IT HAS THE ORIGINAL REGISTRATION NUMBER WHICH IS TRANSFERABLE (WNM182). I KNOW ITS VALUE I HAVE 4 SIMILAR ON RETENTION.
THE SCOOTER WAS RESTORED TO VERY HIGH AND AS ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE STANDARD BY MYSELF FOR MYSELF.
THE ENGINE WHICH IS ORIGINAL TO THE SCOOTER HAS BEEN FULLY RECONDITIONED WITH NEW QUALITY BEARINGS. OIL SEALS. CLUTCH PLATES. ITALIAN CRANK AND IS NOW 175cc.
IT HAS BEEN FITTED WITH A KEIN 28mm CARB WHICH HAS AN ADAPTER PLATE ONTO THE ORIGINAL FRAMEBREATHER INTAKE SYSTEM WHICH IS IN ITS ENTIRETY RIGHT BACK TO THE VENTED FRAME LOOP. WITHOUT BUTCHERING ANY ORIGINAL PARTS. THE ORIGINAL CARB KEPT FOR NEW OWNER.
IT HAS A QUALITY 12V ELECTRONIC KIT. KEPT THE ORIGINAL.
ALL ABOVE HAS BEEN DONE TO KEEP UP WITH MODERN DAY TRAFFIC AND FOR RELIABILITY. STILL LOOKS ORIGINAL UNDER THE PANALS.
COULD BE PUT BACK TO TOTAL ORIGINALITY WITH LITTLE EFFORT IF REQUIRED.
THE SCOOTER HAS DONE 4 MILES SINCE TOTAL RESTORATION.
