I can furnish you a list of such parts if you would be interested in.

I'm aware of those 'export quality parts' sold by silent exporters in places like Delhi and I'm not referring to those! I would never buy any of those, only genuine imported spares available abroad like those made by Casa Lambretta etc.
'appreciate your gesture of sharing the NOS parts with me but if they're Vijai ones, I wouldnt really have any use for them I'm afraid. Certainly would've been 6-7 years ago!

Hi guys would anyone know if lambrettas which were assembled in india( i think as early as mid 50's) had their own engine and chassis number series different from the international series? also from which year did the innocenti mark stoppped appearing on the engine case just before the engine number?

I would reckon twas from 1958-59 (Li series 1), which had only "Li150" stamped on it?

Which reminds me- how is your series 1 doing?? Have you done her up?

For now she is garaged safely, hasnt seen the light of day for some time :-) i am trying to get the fantabulus ready first :-) gone into painting. Will post some fresh pictures soon. Btw my series 1 engine has innocento stamped on it, so i assume from series 2 they stopped stamping

Shyam: I have a 62 lammy and it has the Innocenti logo before the number. Same goes with the jawas, my 62 jawa has the jawa logo after the number.

Sir,

Here I am posting photo of my Lambretta 1967 model bought by my Grandndfather for Rs.3,250/-. I have painted it 2 years back in the
same Original Green colour. It is still running very well and I drive it
on Weekends. I have also taken part in Vintage car rally.

That scoot is owned by a very enthusiastic gent, and his nephew takes equal interest. They have a Vespa, Jawa and Bobby as well, doubt they would sell it. Very helpful duo, have helped me graciously with my scooter. As have you!

Guys,
Came across this one on the web.

I didnt have a clue where it should be posted here or in the Wierd & Wacky mods thread.
Still, I was really freaked out to see this 3 cylinder engine neatly packaged & adapted on the Lambretta crankcase. Had someone among us done such a mod, whether we had appreciated his efforts or not we would have come up with this question "How much is the average?"
