| Distinguished - BHPian | 'happened to find this Lambretta s2 being "restored" by a roadside mechanic, while driving through Secunderabad today. One sad thing is the guy fitting a bajaj/priya tail-lamp on the scoot just at that time. I told him you could get atleast the plastic body original tail-light here, and his reply was "saadE chaar sow (450) ka hai!" He claims the scoot is his customer's but I doubt it, 'suspect he's bought it fo himself going by the way he's going about the work. The other one is a Lamby 150 still in what appears to be original paint just bought by the mechanic doing up my scoot. Note the original service instruction sticker inside the legshield! First time I'm seeing one. He said this scoot used to be lying in an apartment parking lot earlier and it seems to have been vandalised a lot while it was, going by the missing badges and tail-light! He intends to restore it now. BTW, is the Lamby 150 legshield badge still available?       |

| BHPian  | Hi Team, Here are some updates from my scoot: took it for a Office outing 50 Km's non stop, it was an amazing drive, but here came a point when i went offroad majorly dry mud and bumps and my muffler hit the grounds and my scoot stopped in couple of minutes. It started again and stopped did not move a inch this happened for a couple of times and i was annoyed it was night time, finally i starrted thinking what possibly could have gone wrong by muffler hitting the grounds. then it just struck my mind that the carb and air filter drain pipe must have hit the grounds too i removed it and the scoot just ran perfectly. the pipe was clogged with mud and possibly the carb was sucking mud from there. here are some pics:       Also took it to Office, parking lot always had admirers near it discussing, Security smiles and says "hamare zamane ki gaadi" (sorry for hindi) became a topic of discussion andin office, all the colleuges loved it. 1 of my friend had a interest in Jawa he bought 1 after seeing this one and started his restorations. lots of things to share but dont want to bug you |

Yes, no doubt a mix and match job....however, I reckon it is indeed an original 1960 Innocenti Lambretta with the horncast and side-domes original, but rest everything is from later model, speedo and mudguard are from Lamby 150.  A real pity because this scoot still has the side-panel badge intact! Very rare to find these. 'wish there was a way I could 'save' it!  | ||
