The Appeal

Modern scooters are all well and good, but many, (us included), seek something a little more classic, predating the days of tubeless rims, hydraulic disc brakes and digital speedometers. That’s where this 1981 Lambretta makes sense; having been thoroughly restored and suitably upgraded for modern roads by the vendor’s in-house specialists.

This GP200 is fitted with a brand new SIP Lambretta 200cc engine that has covered just 3 miles - the vendor tells us that the buyer will be the first to ride it. As the photographs show, the restoration work was extensive and carried out to a superb standard.

This is a superbly detailed scooter. Its combination of elevated performance and exquisite aesthetics make it very tempting.

The vendor comments:

"Riding the Lambretta GP200 is a nostalgic and fun experience, blending classic scooter charm with solid performance. Its 198cc engine provides enough power for zippy acceleration and a comfortable top speed, making it ideal for city commuting and leisurely rides. The lightweight design and compact frame make it highly manoeuvrable, offering smooth handling in tight spaces and traffic. While the drum brakes and simple suspension aren't as refined as modern counterparts, they still provide a reliable and enjoyable ride on well-maintained roads. Overall, the GP200 offers a perfect mix of vintage style, practicality and a playful, engaging riding experience.

“What you are buying here is peace of mind: clean, risk-free scooter, ready to ride! restored by experts with over 40+ years of experience who themselves own their own personal collections.

This vintage Lambretta has been restored by our own in-house team of experts and every part of the scooter is thoroughly checked during the rebuild so that only the best makes it through.”

For those seeking a classic scooter that’s ready to enjoy, this distinctive Lambretta has a great deal to offer.

AF Rayspeed Clubman exhaust
Fitted with an MPH speedometer
Only three miles since restoration for testing purposes - you will be the first to ride!
The vendor informs us that the engine has undergone a total rebuild, with all consumables replaced
Improved Electrical System
The new owner will need to run in the engine, keeping it below 40mph for 100 miles and ensuring an oily two-stroke mix
The vendor notes that there is scope to further upgrade to a street racer or keep it original mechanically

The vendor writes:

"A brand new SIP Lambretta 200cc engine freshly tuned providing a smooth, responsive ride that is a joy to experience. As this beautiful scooter has a brand new engine it will need breaking in for at least 100 miles at a maximum speed of 40mph. And a good tip: do mix plenty of oil in with the petrol during this breaking in time as it helps to make a healthy, happy engine."
