Avanti Kelvinator

[Jono]

Have noted body work and frame for Avanti Kelvinator on eBay.
As I have over recent years restored 2 SIL GPs and a Spanish Li and have lots of bits left over including a complete GP 150 good engine. My question - is the Kelvinator under the exterior panels the same as a SIL GP, engine mounting etc.

Clearly I understand it's not Italian, just fancied the challenge of a restoration to use up all the parts in my garage.

There was a write up in one of the Scootering issues last year someone will be along shortly to tell you which.

I believe it's a bit of a hotch potch of features but the basics are the same.

Hi,
I had a Kelvinator for a while, and Yes, all the normal Lambretta parts, engine etc will fit fine.
Headset is a different shape but control rods etc also swap over.

As above, ugly but quite smart in its own right

Don't the legshields slide over the fork tube too? Meaning you have to fit them before the headset top.

I'd quite like one if it was cheap enough but I have a taste for the oddballs...
