Alright, just wanted to share some pics of my newly restored Li 125. 1962 Italian was bought from dan at scooterotica and restored by lee chambers at lambretta upgrades who did an incredible job of realising my idea. It has been restored to original spec trying to keep everything original as poss. Full engine rebuild with RT195 kit. Colours are spino white and the panels/horn casing are the original iseo blue She going on her maiden voyage tomorrow weather permitting, can't wait for the spring!!

Pretty looking scoot. But I hate the seat on it, sorry. I hope the length of tape on the engine sidecasing doesn't say 'no engine oil'

Ha! It's a marmite job the seat, either love it or hate it! It's had some very positive comments overall though. No that was an older pic, the tape has gone!

I'm with daggs. Very pretty scooter, I love the simplicity of the li s3 and it's what I have lined up for my next project.
But I'm not feeling that seat, man. Reminds me of a custom Lambretta from the 80s which I think was called 'lay lady lay'.
