Hi all ,
Im coming to the end of my S2 Winter model build and and have got to apply for a dating cert , thing is my frame number is one of the higher than shall we say widely thought for the 64-65 period as its "666xx", it has the matching engine number on the original engine , although it currently has a GT240 on intercontinental casings fitted.
so how can i be certain that the date it will be given will reflect its true age and that ill not just be given the default for the winter model build period ?
the spanish reg number was V225-046 so from what ive found from valencia region , is there a spanish website where i might find out any info
any help be appreciated
Winter model Date

The models starting 066 were built in 1966. I have one and know of a few others. If you get a dating certificate from lcgb it will show the correct year. Well mine does anyway.

hi thanks for advice ,
mine came from buzz it came with a british lambretta archive dating cert which put it at 65, but that was back in 2014. i had seen some info regarding issue of high frame number winter models (latest ive seen is a 668xxx that totally scooters had although it didnt have original engine with it ) being built after 64-65 so wondered if mine was after these dates too

The step is at the front of the bridge piece where the front rubber goes under its nearly 10mm deep on mine have seen same on a winter that was over at "discodez's" too and on the 668xx frame number one totally scooters had up on ebay i think they are peculiar to the winters as not seen them on pics of the regular spanish S2's .
i have seen a serveta owners group on facebook but just wondering if theres one for the lambretta locomociones / eibar S2's and Winter models.
