LAMBRETTA LI 125 Special (Innocenti)

LAMBRETTA LI 125 SPECIAL (INNOCENTI)A rare opportunity to obtain a true piece of history. This "Special" scooter was imported from Italy in 2010 and untouched by its previous owner. I bought it in 2011 with the intention of restoring it. However it is in such fantastic condition for its year it would be a tragedy to take away its patina. It is full of character (not to mention Italian road dust) and such a comfortable ride. It still has the original blue leather Giuliari seat! There is absolutely no rot and just surface marks giving away its 50 years of use. The original paint still shines when the sun is out!Decided to improve reliability with a 12 electronic ignition conversion using the best BGM stator and Ducati CDI unit. The 125cc has been replaced with a 185cc pot and piston and adjusted for timing and jets. Still running in with only 400 miles on the new speedo since fitting. The original 125 and 6v parts come with the scooter. The orignial 20mm carb and airbox feed the engine well and a new clubman exhaust not only adds to the original looks but sounds fantastic. It pulls really well even two up. Fitted all new cables and an uprated cable adjuster. All adjusted so that not only smooth in operation but gear numbers line up with indicator mark. No having to guess which gear you are in. Both front and rear brakes have been "skimmed" to get maximum contact and as good as they get. Front and rear tyres are only 500 miles old and as close as you can get to the factory fitted tread pattern. Went straight through the MOT yesterday with no advisories and is tax exempt. Currently on SORN.  I know I will not find another one as good as this and so not prepared to haggle over the price. It will appreciate in price as originals in this condition are seriously hard to find. Gets a lot of attention when I take it out to local events and everyone says leave it as is. For more info ring 01948 663477 and leave a message. I will get back to you in the evening. As a private seller this is "sold as seen" with no warranty or return offered.  Looking for cash on collection to make transaction easy. Willing to take a ?50 deposit via Paypal to secure.
