Lambretta Li150 Series 3

Is this bloke having a giraffe or are they really making this money in
this condition?

NB - He's in Ireland and calls himself 'bomber1964'

Effin Ada. I used to dump 'em.

 

**** me .... *how* much ???

 

Yep, that will sell for that price.
Original Italian scooters are pretty rare in original condition these days

 

Original factory condition? I suspect they looked a "bit" better in factory
condition.

As it happens, on "American Pickers" the two blokes bought a shite and
fucked Vespa three wheeler for 5 grand US.

 

I think I'd describe it as "unmolested, but badly in need of restoration"
rather than original condition.

 

No disputes on the restoration, but it does appear to be complete with all
original italian parts, instead of spanish, indian or viet-bodge made from
coke cans as a lot of the shinier examples are on ebay.

 

I doubt it'll make that money frankly, if it does it's cos some cunts
got money burning a hole in his pocket or (usually) because someone
wants that particular model as its the same as the one he had in the
60's or its manufactured in the year of his birth.

Frankly, a grand is a fair price possibly £1200.

On giving it a second look, I'd go along with that and it wouldn't cost a
fortune to bring it back to *real* original condition.

As for getting an eBay scooter, not a chance.
