Hi Guys,
Continuing the story of my Dad's S2, it turns out i know nothing of the specifics of this scooter. I know it's a series 2 but with my dad's "make do and mend" and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitudes i am unsure if the parts fitted to the bike are original. I do know i have at least 1 mystery donor bike, so not even sure all the bits are from the same bike. (i think the speedo panel is from a diff bike at least, but the mileage is about right for the registration docs) - dad said himself he resprayed it in the original Red and White colours. (although i think he just did the red parts -side panels, horn casing and speedo panel)
Firstly do the Frame and Chassis match? (and does this tell me anything, Does it matter?) Frame No:- 150Li* 936xxx Engine no:- Li 853*** - Does this give me an early or late series 2
Secondly, i used to work in a Car Parts shop, so used to the cross reference manuals, does something like this exist for the Lambretta? ie I have the original part numbers, but i am struggling for match this to a replacement part. I'd love to be able to keep as much of it as possible and do a sympathetic restoration. ie as myself and dad recall it rather than how it should be.. -( the exhuast seems to be the "AF big bore" type rather than the original one fitted.)
This is best illustrated with the rear light housing. I have it, i have the part numbers but i'm not sure if it's an early S2 or late? Which type of rear lens and housing do i need? (i think there are several) ...my dad just fitted a round light lens from...something! to make it legal.
I know it's not a part that is required immediately, but any help would be grateful in helping me solve this mystery, as i'd love to be able to re-use these parts rather than buy them new.

(and i know - it's has more holes in it than swiss cheese)
