Description

Jimmy Quadrophenia replica with legal number plate KRU 251 C. The original Lambretta in Quadrophenia was a 1967 LI 150 and had the number plate” KRU 251 F” but because the film was set in 1964 the suffix letter “F” denoting 1967 was removed leaving just “KRU 251”. What makes this Lambretta stand out above the rest is that you can drive it legally on the road to any event with its number plate “KRU 251 C” on display and once you arrive all you need to do is instantly remove the magnetic letter “C” and no one can tell the difference from the original!

This is the second replica I have built. the first one was based on the Bonhams version which has a lot of subtle differences where as this one is an accurate replica of the original out of Quadrophenia. The scooter is a 1965 Li 150 battery model without the chrome ring which is exactly what Jimmy's model was in Quadrophenia. it has different shaped leg shields to the chrome ring model and is a lot rarer. Most of the replicas today have the chrome ring and squarer leg shields. I have uploaded a video on YouTube and included the link here as this is the best way to see the detail I have gone to on this scooter.

As well as all the normal accessories that go with this scooter there are a few subtle improvements that have brought the scooter back to how it would have originally looked in the film Quadrophenia. These include a custom made fly screen. correct working Fiamm airhorns. bespoke redrawn stickers including the correct number plate font plus the correct 1978 Southend badge with no extra seagulls in the picture or missing buildings! and finally the elusive tool box sticker.

All this work has been carried out by the present owner over the past three years who has painstakingly researched every detail of this iconic scooter and where necessary has scaled and redrawn or remade all of the details mentioned in order to create this accurately detailed replica.
