I’m no expert but I know that many of the Series 2s they manufactured were 175, known as the X175 model. I follow a Brazilian scooter shop called Lambretta Ecke which is based somewhere in the Deep South of Brazil were lots of German speaking Europeans ended up.

My interest is because I have Brazilian family through marriage. Some Brazilian scooters have made it to the USA but I think that may be the first Series 2 I have seen in the UK.

This has some of the history:

Do not, under any circumstances, think of taking a vehicle out on the road unless you are a total lunatic :D
