Model LD |
The LD like the Model D can be quite confusing to identify as three different versions were available. Of these three versions the Mark 2 and 3 could also be brought as the LDA, which was an electric start version. Finally the LD also had another version from the French Troyes factory. |

The French LD can be distigished by the position of the fuel and choke levers. These exsit the frame near the feet instead of between the seats on the Italian made models. Also seat covers were rubber, and small changes to badges were made. The French made Ld was largely always based on the Mk2 version. |

| The D/LD is the last of the shaft driven models, and was very well made, over engineered in fact. Parts supply is good for trims, badge and resotration parts, not so good for engine parts or bodywork, having said that engines are normally good for 30,000 to 50,000 miles.
We say If you want one of the early shaft driven Lambrettas the Mark three D/LD 150cc is the one to go for |
