Yeah i agree. Easy enough to weld a piece back on though if you really want to?

Some good advice above and I think your realistic expecting £1k only...it's a money pit restoring and owning a Lambretta and you are unlikely to get your money back....good find though.

If you sell it for that you'll be getting your money back and a bit. I'd say 500 was a good price for what you got. However as others have said your probably going to sink in 2-3k depending on the level of finish you're after; your shopping skills and how much work you're prepared to do yourself.

In the end of the day it will still be what it is. The Spanish models are a bit 'niche' but are becoming more popular largely because they are about half the price of the equivalent Italian model, but prices are now starting to creep up. That said, you'd still be lucky to get a return on it if you restored it unless you can do it really economically.

I bought one recently, complete, on its wheels, turning over and sparking. I'm now £500 in and still not finished dismantling it.

I think it would be doing the best thing selling at the moment. I could see you being very busy for the next few years. :-) If you can get a bit more for it happy days.
