1954 Lambretta LD125 Mk1
No Reserve
Registration No: TKL 310
Chassis No: 125LD78418
MOT: Exempt
Restoration to finish
Early attractive Lambretta
Current V5C for use on the road
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle was manufactured in 1954 and not 1952 as printed in the catalogue.
The Lambretta LD Mk1 was first introduced in 1951 as a 125cc model and as a successor to the LC. It had covered panels over a tubular frame and had the addition of a torsion bar. This feature remained on all Lambrettas until 1958. The LD also had springs enclosed in the front forks.
This example was purchased from the estate of a Somerset collector who had almost finished restoring it using a local well-respected painter to finish it in an original early LD colour scheme. We are also told the engine was overhauled and was known to be running circa 2012 when it was MOT’d and copies of the MOTs are included. With original parts all over, it would not take much, in our opinion, to finish this attractive example which has a V5C.
