Automobile Products of India (API) began assembling Innocenti-built Lambretta scooters in India after independence in the 1950's beginning with 48 cc, Ld model, Li 1st series. They eventually acquired a licence to build the Li150 Series 2 model, which was sold under the Lambretta name until about 1976 and later on changed the name to Lamby for legal reasons. API also built the trademark model three-wheeler which was based on Innocenti's Lambretta.
In 1972, Scooters India Ltd. (SIL) a state-run enterprise based in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, bought the entire Lambretta manufacturing and trademark rights. Former Innocenti employees were used to set up an Indian factory as all the manuals and machinery instructions were in Italian. The first scooter built was the Vijay Delux/DL, which was badged the Lambretta GP150 in export markets. This was later enhanced to become the Vijay Super. Further improvements were made in the final years of production by incorporating a contemporary Japanese CDI unit and an advanced front suspension.
AKN has history back to 2018 when it had a full engine and gearbox rebuild by Surrey Scooter Services at a cost of £875. There are MOT's on file from 2010.
Used as a shop display it was last running a year ago, it will require a light recommissioning before use.
Sold with the V5C, receipt and old MOT's mentioned.
