I'm not sure if I should share this but I think It gives a valuable insight into what the younger generation think.
Whilst I was restoring my Li 125 a couple of years ago some of my young daughter's friends occasionally popped round to call for her, the boys naturally were inquisitive and seemed interested the girls were mildly interested.
They had never heard of Lambretta I explained it was an design Icon oozing Italian style a thing of beauty to behold (i'm welling up here thinking about it) on the last occasion the youngsters called to ask if daughter was playing out I proudly proclaimed the Lambretta was finished and proceeded to get it from the garage to show them I wheeled it out and said "what d ye think" my daughter piped up "its minging" I was crushed

I suppose the point is only a relatively small and as time goes on getting smaller group will be prepared to pay the crazy prices some people think these things are worth.
