Have a look at olympiaparts.eu:-
http://www.olimpiaparts.eu/ - never used them myself, but they appear to have a lot of C/LC parts.
Also, remember that the German Lambretta 125/150 machines were basically Innocenti LC Lambrettas made under licence. Parts for those are often listed on the German ebay site, for example. Some of the engine parts (but not all) are pretty much the same as the NSU Prima 'D' (which is
nothing like a Lambretta D or LD!) Most of the NSU parts are still available from Germany.... at a price!

When restoring my own model C some years ago I obtained a reproduction parts manual from Cambridge Lambretta, and all the bits I needed came from Howard Chambers. If he didn't have them to hand he could always get them on his frequent visits to Italy.
As long as all the bodywork is there and nothing major missing on the engine you should not have too much trouble restoring it!
Best of luck.
