I need help hunting down my dad's Lambretta

Post pics & videos of your scooter, projects you're working on, a lovely Vespa that you saw at a rally, or anything else scooter related.

I'm pretty sure all TV's had the same panels, even the TV200, they are the same as Li 150's.

I thought some tv's had scalloped sides with metal embellishments.

The panels changed to what was to become the SX150/Special style in late 1963

I've searched 1 hka to 999 hka and no luck, looks like I will be doing a replica!

Can anyone tell me a good place to find Lambretta projects other than ebay or Gumtree?

Prices seem to be slightly high on ebay.

I'm looking for a solid series 3 earlier the better.

Cheers
Kris

Better clue for the year would be the number plate, must be pre A which was introduced in 1963 though not all regions adopted that immediately. The year suffix was made compulsory in 1965.

KA is definitely Liverpool.

A project will invariably cost more than a "ready done" scooter. Add the time and effort and a fully running, on the road scooter is a cheaper and less time consuming option..........IMO
