I picked up a new Piston/cylinder bore kit for my lambretta LI today . The person selling it has 3 more with him . It will fit a Lambretta Li / Lamby / Polo and the vijai super series. If any bhpian requires the same pls call at 93070 16909 (Rahil )

Regards

Salman

Salman, please note that a Vijai bore will most likely not fit a Li Lambretta one. I can say that from my personal experience- when I restored my '60 Li, the mechanic doing the engine got me a brand new bore, which I went for out of sheer enthusiasm. It later had a number of problems such as air escaping during firing up. Even after he changed the packing etc.

It was later discovered to be a Vijai bore! I luckily got a good used original bore.

Well i had restored another li last year and fitted the same bore , it is working fine as on date , it could be something to do with a particular brand that you might have used .

hey guys my 53 millecento is almost ready
just looking for side door garnish (side patti as they say).
i'm also looking for tail lamps
any leads anywhere in india and abroad will be helpful.

@jubin: try Annunci per Ricambi e Accessori in tutta Italia. (ITALIAN)
In COSA?: put your car model ('1956 millecento' or only 'millecento') & you will get list of parts available.
I'm in process of collecting spares for my 1956 millecento; so as to start restoration soon, Bhpian INVINCI (Qamar) had given me this lead.
It works. I have already got original steering wheel & one "millecento" badge from here.

jubin · 24th December 2010, 12:00

hey thanks for the link
i followed your instruction to the T but sad they don't have any spares available. i could only find a wheel and a tail lamp which is not for my model

thanks again
happy motoring

Hi Jubin, great to hear about your car - looking forward to seeing her !
Make a visit to chor bazaar. Some months back, tail light lenses for '53 were available. You may get a pair if you're lucky..

Tail Lamp Lenses are available in pleanty, They have been reproduced in India and thus are repro. Were available at Rs. 400 a pair in Delhi's Scrap yard. The same in Bangalore were available for 1000 bucks.
