Lambretta j50 Untouched Italian Gem

Welcome to my AuctionNO RESERVE !!!You are looking and hopefully bidding on a lovely little Italian Lambretta j50 DLWe have owned the Scooter since 2006 but never had it registered although we had it Authenticated by LCGB as you can see in one of the pictures so it will be straight forward to register. When we first bought the Scooter it was in full running order and our intention was to strip and restore. I got as far as removing the floor mats which were glued down !!. removed the legshield rubbers and started removing a little of the loose paint !!!! That was as far as I got . moving on 8 years its time to go and the scooter is still as solid as it was back then and the only deep rust is a small hole the size of a 5p coin but its not loose around the edges. the rest of the body work is in a very good solid condition and is very straight on ALL panels apart from a small dent on the front mudguard. The underneath of the Scoot is as solid with only surface rust (again as shown in the pictures). the seat and rear handle are original and complete but the seat has a small hole in the side. The rusty look on the floor is glue from the mats that were on it. The gears all select ok and brakes and clutch seem fine. the throttle does not spring back not sure if this is normal on the 50. uel tap and choke are in working order and the exhaust is in good condition. The engine was a runner but has seized up and i will hopefully have it free by the end of the auction and will update if i do!! Once this is sorted I believe the Scooter will start ok but for the Auction I am selling as a non runner at the moment. All cables and engine parts are present except the flywheel cover. This little j50 Special has the original badging on the front and side panels as well as the chrome flashing. It is in the original paint too !!!!!!!! Not bad for 46 years old !!!There has been a couple of j50's on recently for restoration but in my opinion this is the best of them all. No welding will be required and you could ride it as it is with just new rubbers etc. although a new lick of paint will make it perfect. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding the Scooter and you are more than welcome to view. There is No Reserve so the Scooter will sell to the highest bidder. The winning Bidder needs to pay £100 deposit to secure sale or contact me prior to the end. NO overseas buyers please. Any questions will be answered ASAP. Ideally it will be collected although delivery could be arranged but would not be cheapHappy Bidding and Good Luck
