That's a beauty!
Really nice job - well done (& I'm a Lambretta man).

Looking at what you started with it is a top job Grips look a bit fusty/dirty ? and the V on the Vespa legsheild badge is a bit out of line Couple of minor points that may help you acheive a respectable price ?

Blimey. That's got to be worth 3k all day. Someone will be getting a good deal.

I will get the Vim out on the grip this afternoon! The badge is the original one, so i was reluctant to get a repro. Which ever plonker removed it (hello sharkman), was a bit ham fisted. Its quite good though, just a vey small kink in the V. It has the original Douglas badge too, which fetch silly money now.

Here are a couple of vids. I have never posted a vid before, so here goes.....

YOu too could look as kool as this idiot


First Dyno run at Diablos. Before fitting the Augusto and the 28mm Carb

Harry Barlow said there is loads os scope with this engine, but i wanted 100% reliability. The malossi kit is standard, so he recons you could get another 5 bhp with a little porting.

The floor was very solid, for scooter of this vintage.

Here is the new black speedo. Looks better than the white one, me thinks.
