I also avoided the not running but... "has good compression" / "all hard work done" / "just get engine running & use as is" types for exactly those reasons. Thanks Mr Booker!

Re: First scoot (Lambretta) which model is best for a newb?
Thanks for your help fellas it's much appreciated I take your point re the test I want this sorted asap (bit expensive these days getting an A2). I may go the 125 route and at least I can ride whilst learning (rather that just on a hire bike, although this means I would have an A1 licence). I've loo...

Re: First scoot (Lambretta) which model is best for a newb?
That's top of my budget but it does look very nice - odd that someone hasn't snapped it up if it is such good value tho?

First scoot (Lambretta) which model is best for a newb?
Thanks for that. Spent a little while at Ryde Scooters on the Isle of Wight (here on holiday at the moment!) and the chap in there was a top bloke. Spent a good while with me, even though he knew I'm a distance from him & unlikely to be able to buy from him. Some lovely machines in there and als...

Re: First scoot (Lambretta) which model is best for a newb?
Aces. I've picked thru this steadily. I'll say this, you're a passionate lot that's for sure! Thanks for all the help. I'll def not buy the first one I see (cough!) and I'll do a bit more reading. Im gonna try & keep it as original as I can but avoid a "project" To be fair the little r...

The guys who run this have some projects for sale, maybe they could do an engine rebuild or whatever within your budget?

Re: First scoot (Lambretta) which model is best for a newb?

Whizz up to Weston maybe (There's a Lammy museum there I just discovered) I think plan a and an Li 125 serie...

First scoot (Lambretta) which model is best for a newb?
Christ I went out for the day and looks like I've started WW3! I'm new to scoots but I've had plenty of 40-plus year old cars. I want Italian because I want original. Plus I like things Italian I realise I could get better value. It's me not you ! Cheers for that. Gives me food for thought tho. Proj...
