...in 1952! showed those pesky Veps a pair of clear Pirellis!! found this old Italian car mag from the week it happened. Seems like ancient history but then it made a national magazine.This Lammy must have looked the most space age vehicle in the days before Sputnik. the technology on this machine hasnt really been bettered until the last few years with vatiotronics and Dyno led tuning.Real pioneers and the original shootout team!!~~

I think it's a 125 if memory serves me right [though it more than often doesn't]. Just shows how important streamlining is.

Yeah, it was a 125 ........with a supercharger, which isn't always mentioned!
