The Attractions


Along with the Piaggio Vespa, Innocenti's Lambretta made two-wheeled transport accessible to the masses in war-torn Italy. These scooters became cultural icons in the 1960s as part of the 'mod' movement and, as such, are still highly collectible today. The Lambretta J50 was particularly affordable, with its 50 cc two-stroke engine. Offered in a variety of modern and eye-catching colours to appeal to the teenagers of the 1960s, it achieved great success.

It has been beautifully preserved and always kept in the garage. The scooter comes with its original registration document and is efficient after a service and tune-up. The seat has been reupholstered and comes with spare wheel, wheel cover and original mat.
