The Model A is quite a rare beast these days, and they command high prices in Italy. Parts supply, restoration, and information stems mainly from two Italian specialists. Due to the
We say Leave this one to the experts/collectors







Model B
The model B gear change was now on the handle bars, a feature to stay with the rest of the Lambretta models ever made.

Facts
Engine Sizes - 125cc
Power Output - 4.3hp
Dry Weight - 60 Kg
Production Dates - Nov 1948 to Jan 1950
Numbers Produced - 35,014

The Model B like the A is quite rare beast although a little easier to find then an A. Same as the A, parts supply could be a problem, the B model was basically an upgraded A, and again
We say Leave this one to the experts/collectors







Model C
Starting with the C, the basis of all Lambretta frames would be made of tube.

Facts
Engine Sizes - 125cc
Power Output - 4.3hp
Dry Weight - 70 Kg
Production Dates - Feb 1950 to Nov 1951
Numbers Produced - 87,500
Colours - Green, Grey, Beige and Red

Notes :-
3 speed, hand gear change by teleflex cable.

1950 C C C 050001 - 084757
1951 C C C 084758 - 137500

The C Model starts to become a viable machine to own and use, although they are still very fragile. Parts supply is quite a but better then the earlier machines. 125cc engine doesnt perform that well, 40 to 45mph
We say Still a collectors machine really, many engine parts left over from the A/B models. Model D is a better option if you want to ride it!







Model LC
The LC was the first Lambretta to feature full sized legshields and side panels. On this and the LD, the L stood for Luxury due to the mentioned panel work.

Facts
Engine Sizes - 125cc
Power Output - 4.3hp
Dry Weight - 70 Kg
Production Dates - Feb 1950 to Nov 1951
Numbers Produced - 42,500
Colours Available - Green, Grey, Beige and Blue

As the C, the LC starts to become a viable machine to own and use, although they are still very fragile. Parts supply is quite a but better then the earlier machines. 125cc engine doesnt perform that well especially with the heavier body work the LC wears.
We say Still a collectors machine really, many engine parts left over from the A/B models. LD is a better option if you want to ride it!







Model D
The D can be quite confusing to identify as three different versions were available. The Model D and LD were also among th first versions that were made outside Italy as Innocenti sold license for production around the world.

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







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.

Identify the Mk1 The mark 3 did not have an inside legshield tool box, the speedo and horn was housed in a casting that sat on top of the handle bars.

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.

Li Special
The Li special gained the looks from the TV family of models, but retained the 125 and 150 engine size options from the Li, but with more power. The 125 Special is sometimes known or called an SX 125. Technically this is not an SX125 as the frame numbers are always 125Li, and there is no X badge on the scooter, but as this ran along with the 150 and 200 SX models, some people do call them SX125.

Moped



Lambretta also made quite a range of 38 and 50cc step through models.

Facts
These were the smallest engine Lambretta produced, and in a strong would need exhaust power to keep it moving! Many plastic parts were used on later models, including engine covers, headlight, and petrol tank Two speed, fully automatic, this model even featured a lever which reduced exhuast compression by moving the exhaust valve, for ease of starting. Chain driven, but not enclosed as per usual, encased by a chain guard, spoked wheels with trailing links were other features of the 'Lambrettiono' as the model was known.
