The last version of the Junior 50 appeared in the spring of 1970 alongside, but not replacing, the preceding model, The Deluxe. With the nickname of "Special", this Lambretta would be the last 50cc model built by the Innocenti factory before the assembly line was transferred to the Indian government. The new model had many new esthetic modifications, the covering for the floorboards was now a black rubber mat; the seat was now two tone and more slender; the arrow metal pieces on the side panels were modified; and a more practical handle was added, which helped to maneuver the scooter from when it was stopped. It was offered in red, turquoise, and ochre yellow.
Unfortunately, the Special was never quite able to find its market niche, and less than 14,000 units were ever produced before production was halted in April 1971.
EKH was first registered with DVLA in 2012, and was owned by Lottie Jackson, then came Dean Proctor in 2014, and in 2021 our vendor became the fourth owner. It has covered some 2025 miles since the first 2012 MOT and was running last year.
