On the Surface:

This 1966 Innocenti Lambretta Li150 Special is a standout example of the iconic Italian scooter, finished in Crème Yellow with a matching cream seat.

Maintenance & History:

Manufactured in Italy in 1966, this genuine Lambretta was used abroad before being registered in the UK in 2015. It comes with supporting documentation, including a letter from the British Lambretta Archive confirming its authenticity and providing key manufacturing details. It has since been part of a private collection and has seen limited use, contributing to its remarkably preserved condition. This scooter has benefitted from an extensive restoration, with virtually every mechanical and cosmetic element either rebuilt or replaced. The engine, electrics, suspension, and transmission have all been fully overhauled with high-quality components including:

  • A brand new S.I.L. 2-port barrel cylinder, 57mm piston, and 22mm JETEX 101-e carburettor
  • New clutch, gear selector, and primary drive system with I.W.I.S.S. German chain
  • New front and rear sprockets (15/46 tooth), shock absorbers, and Escort springs
  • B.G.M. Teflon-lined cables, new brakes, and a stainless-steel tuned exhaust
  • Triple whitewall tyres with new rims and tubes, delivering excellent ride quality
  • New wiring throughout, new stainless-steel fittings, and improved security via an ON/OFF power key switch

Every detail has been thoughtfully addressed, down to the rubber trims, odometer, hand grips, and stainless steel floor runners. While the battery is currently flat due to a long period of storage in a private collection, the engine was fully rebuilt and ran smoothly before lay-up, offering excellent fuel economy (80+ mpg) and performance (55+ mph) according to the paperwork.

The Model:

The Li150 Special is one of Lambretta’s most popular and refined variants, representing the peak of mid-60s scooter engineering. Known for its stylish design, improved performance over the standard Li models and strong aftermarket support, it remains a top choice for both collectors and enthusiasts.

Sale Insight:

Offering a rare blend of originality and comprehensive restoration, this 1966 Innocenti Lambretta Li150 Special is a standout opportunity for collectors and riders alike.

Estimate:
£3,500 - £4,500
