hi, the only tips i can offer are.. take your time bodywork is all about preperation ask for help! (lcgb website) buy parts from people you trust expect problems .. it's a lambretta take lots of photos when it's done, be proud! good luck david
As this was the 2nd one i had done, most of the work was quite easy and rewarding. What i did find is that the series 2 is a more robust machine than the series 3, and all the panels seem to fit a whole lot better .. probably my favourite lammy, but i am about to start on a GP, so that may take precedence, we'll see! thanks for the comments
well, my first one took 18 months ... but this one was really speedy ... about 6 months!! I am at full time work, so only get to work on them now and again, plus i have to do all the spraywork outdoors, so it has to be a warm, sunny day with no wind, which all adds to the timescale!! thanks for the comment
@lammydave i love so much your lammy i favorite heheheheheeh amazing work mate be proud!!! im sure you treasure it :)) i would love to have one again I had one in brasil sold to move here and miss one like crazy my was blue and white 1960 Li150 ..how i dream to have another like it or like yours :)
Hi, scooter looks great! What was the hardest thing about building it. Just got a series 2 125 and about to rebuild it. Really enjoying it so far but i know its not all gonna be fun.
Hi there, just doing a series2 myself. Not to hot on the electrical side of things yet. Did you convert it to 12v or did already have the battery in it?
Hi David, I'm restoring a 1963 Series 2 and i cant figure out how to remove the badges on the side panels, they seem to be riveted on and i don't really want to drill them off, any ideas?
unfortunatly, i have no knowledge of tamorettis ... all i can say is, you can still get lambrettas cheap-ish .. try sam at lambrettafinder (google it) he is in belgium, you can pick up a running scooter at a reasonable price ... dont know where you are, but for us living in the south east, delivery is free!! .. then you can restore is at you go!! wait for a lambretta, true style!!

thanks for the comment...
a fair price here in the uk for an unrestored one in similar condition would be around £800 GBP
hope this helps

No plans for getting a luggage rack/spare wheel holder? (that's what the four holes above the tail light are for...)
Nice work Dave. Great seeing an old classic brought back to life. Seies II is my favourite model too, I think. How's the GP rebuild going?
