hi just being offered li sseries 4 frame thought it was a lot of money at £650 but look it up and only 10 on daterbase in uk so must be rare so is it worth the price

What's a series 4 ??

About 650 quid for a bare frame apparently

The short answer is a 1400 bike run of LI125 that were a lot like late SX.

Plastic glove box, push in dampers, clip on panels, square horn cast badge. Pretty rare in Lambretta terms and not a lot is known as to the why they were produced like that. My theory is they were prototyping the production changes but that is just a guess.

what database?

Im sure the frame is identical to any other series 3 frame though.

it is but stamped li 125 s4

so why is it just a frame .......who would strip such a rarity, would`nt it be worth more if they had kept it whole imho

Probably got stripped when folk thought it just another crappy Li 3.I've seen the odd tv 175 framebreather cut to bits with the owner thinking it just an old undesireable .Not many had heard of the Li4 20/30 year ago,let alone seen one.

I think there was some weird stuff going on at the factory around that time. Possibly LI's came back into production during the SX run for some unknown reason? (large order from overseas perhaps?

Also, there are known examples of LI bodied scooters but on SX150 frames around 1969- why? anyones guess!

We'll probably never know with the passage of time now.

Good old Innocenti- still making us think, 40+ years after they went bust!!
