Sounds really good - am looking for something similar at the moment for my girlfriend to use for work but am aiming to transplant a p200 engine. I think yours is too original for that. Your car looks a bit trick in the background - are there pics of it on DDK?

Cheers Theres a few pics on here but I haven't got around to any decent shots - RHD T6 B - Uk car matching nos etc etc - just about to put the original engine to one side and order me a 115 - 120 bhp motor - stopping should be interesting!

Fav pic at the moment !-

(Expensive tho)

My mate had a Diana Durkoff (?) that looked similar.... As does the LD. Also unrestored. Have also attached pics of my Li. Search Scuderia Lambretta on google regarding the LD and it's very possible 50's / 60's Ferrari history.

Am loving the speed camera shot - would make a great t-shirt design ! Mmmmm......more spec on fast engine please? Am writing an article for GT Porsche on this very subject....

Is everyone going to Headingham?

Nice bunch of toys !

Love the LD - so slow though - my mate had to tell his mrs to get off and walk up a hill on the IOW rally!! (She's a slim girl as well)

Although my in laws did used to ride 2 up one on from here to Switzerland way back when.

Yeah too slow really. My mate said it was like riding a dustbin. Gearing is really strange as well, thrash it in second then into third burrrrrrr.....loses any momentum you may have made. Li has a new SIL GP200 engine and GS has a P200E. I would have like to kept a standard engine in the Vespa but it was missing when I bought it. Would love your GS but already have ran out of room (and funds and time and....) You'll regret selling that.

If all goes well with the Kart and the race car the plan is to do my TV 175 Series 3 rust-free Italian this winter. Running out of space to keep the finished article though!
Bought it for a lot of £££ 10 years ago, but appreciating fast, so worth doing.
I imagine a full restoration will be more than the market value?

Depends on what you paid - have seen them for £3500 - £4300 ish? Upload some pics, would be great to see it.
