This project has taken almost one year to complete. I have taken my time and been as meticulous as an amateur can be. I have had a lot of expert help from Lambretta expert professionals. When a iad them as a teenager I did not have the time. money. tools nor expertise to build the scooter I really wanted. this machine is the result of the exact opposite situation. I have many more photo's of the project. Selling in order to finance my next Lambretta project.
