you may recall me telling you the breather frame I had was 125 and also a 59 ...the frame number on mine was also outside of thouse given on the lambretta archives (hence it been given a 59 plate),it can be only assumed these frames had been left over after the change to air box between the tank/toolbox and were then used up prior to the introduction of the series 2
