The GP series designed by Bertone was the final Lambretta model to be made. Offered with either a 125cc, 150cc or 200cc engine mated to a 4-speed gearbox, they were marketed as the ultimate machine for both long-distance riding or commuting. This very presentable GP150 was first registered to a Mr Arthur Robert Tipper of Highgate, North London on the 23rd of September of 1970. The machine remained in London and the South East of England, receiving an extensive restoration in standard form to original specification in 2007 before being purchased by our vendor in 2009.
The paintwork, although still looking bright and fresh, is showing some signs of age but is overall very useable. The panels appear to fit well and it features the original Black plastic horn grille and toolbox which are noticeably original. The scooter features its original Veglia 70mph speedometer. The seat is an original Giuliari “coffin” seat that has been fitted with a remade seat cover. V5C and ready for the road.

Lambretta revised the Li Series 3 for the third time in late 1965. Already more elegant and better designed than the earlier Li the SX range aimed to be more sporting and performance based. The tuned engine and closeratio gearbox made for a faster machine with much-improved acceleration than earlier 125cc versions.
Here we present a very original in appearance 125cc Special in the desirable Metallic Blue. The scooter has had a full mechanical overhaul which included new parts used all over the machine. The brakes, cables, tyres, clutch, gearbox and electrics were renewed and converted to 12v. The engine was converted to a more sporty 186cc Mugello top end with Scootopia 2/22 carburettor and a big bore exhaust and new silent blocks. The scooter then went in for a second finishing with Magpie Scooters recently who adjusted the gears using a 150 gear cluster for a more balanced performance to match the engine. The speedometer is the original KM version. The scooter comes with a rare Metalplast 702 scooter basket in excellent condition and accessory comfort grips. Our consultant knows this scooter which rides extremely well.
