Here´s my Lince 200.

In 1986 a Collector buyed it new from his local Lambretta Dealer after he made a Testride of 14 kilometers.
Then he put the Scooter into his Garage to the round about 30 other Scooters he got.

He never rode it again for the next 26 Years.

A few month ago the Collector sold it to me because he´s now 78 Years old and not in good physical condition.

So here it is. Build in 1983 but new.

The red one at the side is it´s " little sister".

It´s a Lince 125.

The red is not so much used like the silver one. ;)
I bought it with 2,8 kilometers. I think this 2,8 kilometers are made by the speedometer factory for adjusting.
I´drived 800 Meters. So today the odometer (is that the right word? Sorry I´m German) shows THREE POINT SIX Kilometers.

It was sold by the same old man like the silver one. I bought both because he made a better price for a "two scooter package"

I asked him:" Didn´t you made a testride on the red one in 1986, before you bought it?"

He said:"No. I had been ridden the silver one. It runs good. So why spent time on the red one?"



So I made the first test ride twentysix years later. Anything works fine.
