Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

Wintermodel-ref name change. A few reasons.

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

I have to agree the whole name change back is deliberately confrontational -especially when GF has himself stated 'he intended to do so all along' to his supporters on his FB page.

Re: MOT EXEMPTION - for 40 year plus scooters

Absolutely correct on all fronts - [apart from the truck engine in a scooter due to additional cylinders being considered as 'not alternative original equipment' - second point on the V112 form].
