Hi
I have an engine casing with LI150 722205 but i'm not sure of the exact model ID. I was told it was an S1 but
according to the Bible the numbers don't tally.

Am i being a nugget; have i been given the wrong info; or maybe there is Devil's work afoot!

Having looked at Sticky's Lammy Bible it could be:
LI 150 S3 6-74 (maybe)
or
LI 150 Special 7 (wishful thinking)

Would have thought it was series 3 but contact Pete Davies at
http://www.britishlambrettaarchive.co.uk/ as he's the man on these matters.

Scooterhelps identifier says its an LI150 series 1. Its fairly easy to identify as the engine is different slightly to the series 2 and 3.

Thanks Lads

Tried Pete Davies and he came back to me that it was manufactured in 1965

Had a look on scooterhelp, punched in the serial number and it churned out 1958-59

On Scooterhelp if you choose the 150LI3 option it will say you have a 1962-1967 Lambretta LI 150 Series 3. If you choose the 150LI option it will say You have a 1958-1959 Lambretta LI 150 Series 1. :roll:
