1950 model B

[Thackers]

I've owned this just over 2 years now, after a full engine strip and re build its almost complete. Just the exhaust to replace. More than I bargained for when buying but that's Lambretta's for you.
Shout out to Barry Hart and David Waddingham for all their help and advice

That looks fantastic. Well done

Have you ridden it yet? If so, what’s it like?

Thank you, that's very kind.
I've not been far on it under 2 miles probably, slow and hard would best describe it.
I've had problem after problem with it hence the full engine re build which I found to be very tricky. It's still on its original exhaust which I think is holding it back, I hope to get another soon. I'm not sure how much I'll use it, time will tell.

That looks fantastic. Love the 'dealers' badge, a nice touch and the passenger grab handle, very nice. Where did you get the rubber floor runners from. I've been trying to get new ones for mine but the ones I found are too thin.

Thanks Nick, the rubber runners were already on when I bought it. The bike was imported from Italy I was told it was part of a collection so don't know the supplier. Cosmetically it is in nice order but looks aren't everything which I found out when i noticed a small oil leak at the rear wheel and the rabbit hole beckoned me in

Fantastic - great looking thing

Those early models look fab - but the reality of when could you use it kicks in.

I think you're right, originally function over form as a basic utility transport and now totally reversed due to modern traffic. Thanks for your reply

From someone who owns some high quality scooters like you Rich, I'll take that as a top compliment, thank you.

Yes you're spot on there if I could get it into the house that might be an appropriate place for my ownership
I do intend to use it, only locally perhaps a ride to some shows for classic machines in the summer
