The ‘150 Special’ debuted at Milan in 1963. The tuned engine and close-ratio gearbox made for a faster – 95kmh – machine with much-improved acceleration over a standard Li. The Special 150cc engine/ gearing combination on these models was also particularly sought after by Lambretta racers who raided the machine engines and this has contributed to the rarity of them in original state.
Here we present a complete (except for stator and flyheel) and extremely original honest Golden Special for conservation or restoration. Something special. It has a NOVA on file for simple UK registration or easy export. The panels look to have never been removed and the side panels fit perfectly well. The previous Italian owner must have had some taste as it is possible to see the shadow on the side panels where Vigano knuckles once adorned them. Still 6v completely unmolested save for some over paint was which should easily remove if required. The engine turns but is missing stator and flywheel which are easy to source. The seat is the original correct green seat for golden Specials.
