Manufactured by the Italian industrial giant Innocenti, the Lambretta scooter gained widespread acceptance in the 1950s, its cleanliness and convenience in particular appealing to those who regarded the true motorcycle with suspicion. Following the unreliable TV 175 Series 1, Lambretta went back to the drawing board to create one of its all-time greats: the Li. The Li was built as either a 125 or 150 using the bore/stroke dimensions of the preceding 'D' Series, producing 5.2hp and 6.5bhp respectively, while its new engine in over-bored form found its way into the revamped TV 175 Series 2 in 1959. The Li range was restyled along similar lines at the same time, with headlamp nacelle and faired-in handlebars, thus establishing the definitive Lambretta look that would endure until Italian production ceased in 1971. The Series three and all subsequent models were nick named the slim style. This is because compared to the S1, & 2, the Lambretta became slimmer and sleaker. The slim stlye covers all models, Li, TV, SX and GP.
AKH was first registered by Stanley Barrett of Hull on the 2nd of February 1964 and he retained it until selling to our vendors husband in 2002. In 2003 it was MOT'd at 23,394 miles and has hardly been used since and was last running some seven or eight years ago. Please note that the V5C incorrectly stating its cc as 125 whereas both the frame and engine numbers confirm it is a 150 cc. MOT'd in 1995 at 23,102 miles and in 2003 at 23,314 miles it was sorned in 2006.
An older, quality restoration that has spent its life in a garage, this iconic example will need a little recommissioning. Sold with the V5C, the 2003 MOT and various chrome extras .
