The lamb

This is the Lambretta as we bought it from an Italian Lambretta dealer. She is a 1962 LI125, early series 3, the engine already runs. So the things that need doing are: breaks need overhauling, stripped of all it's parts, new paintwork, new chrome parts, rubber seals, some light welding, new exhaust, re-wiring, new tyres, engine needs vapour blasting and then it will be put back together!

Chapter 1

Hello, We are Olivia and Danny and we've just bought a 1962 Lambretta LI125, we're starting this blog to share our restoration project with whoever's interested!

Danny works for a classic restoration company specialising in Rolls Royce and Bentley motors (CRS in Chichester) and Olivia is a Design student at Falmouth University, we both have an interest in vintage design, making things and upcycling.

We recently travelled to Croatia and rode around the islands on a hired scooter, it was so fun and relaxing, it inspired us to purchase a beat-up Lambretta and restore it as an affordable project and investment. With Danny's experience and resources and Olivia's financial/organisation skills it should be a breeze!
