Abarth themed Lambretta

[Knowledge]

I have a spare Suzuki piston in the workshop. I have oversizes as well.

That 240 won't get built at this rate, will it?

I do understand the Abarth bit mate. But it still looks a bit er....silly to me. Anyway everyone else seems to like it so it must be me.
The rest is lovely btw. Maybe a electric controlled boot would have been the answer.. it would open when you reach 80 or something like a 911.

".... when my scooter reaches 80"

Who's being silly now, Tony?

Here's a better picture of the car with the bootlid open

yes they were originally.
not an Abarth, but this fiat is always a crowd pleaser at santa pod

It depends. We never got the 500 here in Spain, and we still did Abarth 600, which is the one that kicks in best. I went to Monza once on my J50 (yes, it took me two and a half hours to get up there from the South of Milan, I got there so cold I got a fever :barfy: :barfy: ) and there was a meet up of 500 abarth. The best one was one themed like the General Lee

You see why I wanted it for the theme for the scooter now, don't you? You have to have a sense of humour to own one, much like a scooter.

Martin, you need the fluting on the boot lid as per original!

As if there wasn't enough to do......

Martin, is it an SII casing with SIII side casing?

[Knowledge]

No, it is an Italian Li casing with an Italian GP side-casing. I saw the GP side casing at Kettering and asked to buy it. The guy said he would only sell it with the Li casing as a pair. I didn't need the Li casing, even though it was perfect, but when he said £25 for the pair, I didn't need to think again.

The kick-starter maybe SII
