1956 Lambretta FD150
£9, 999 ONO
This is a stunning 1956 Innocenti Lambretta FD150
No not a Lambro! The first Innocenti 3-Wheelers were named Lambretta’s like their 2 wheeled counterparts! It was a few years later when the name Lambro was coined and used for the enclosed cabin style 3-wheeler.. So not like the Lambretta we have here!
The FD150 is a very very rare classic which seldom comes up for sale.
This beautiful example was lovingly restored from the ground up to show standards by the late owner in the mid 90s - this was the pride and joy of his collection. Apparently he was very fastidious and everything had to be perfect - for example his attention to detail on the handcrafted wooden pickup back.. it’s seriously just amazing! I was told on rare occasions he could be seen take it out for a spin around town to the amazement of the locals! After his death it was sold to his good friend and fellow Lambretta enthusiast where it remained in a collection until fairly recently. Since it has been in my care this beautiful little Lambretta has had the engine checked over and the piston ring replaced. It now runs like a dream! There was also a little detailing done on the bodywork just to make it absolutely perfect!
This FD I believe was originally brought over from Italy and then as mentioned fully restored and U. K. registered by the then owner.
It comes with a new V5C in my name. Some dating paperwork from the Lambretta Club of Great Britain and a number of old photos documenting it back in the 90s. Oh and there’s even a certificate for taking part in a Lambretta show where I believe it may have won its category. An absolutely immaculate vehicle which I will be very sad to see go. This was something I never thought I would be able to attain, as they are so rare!
But I have got to say the great thing about this little gem is it’s a driver! It’s perfectly happy to be driven around - One of my thoughts was to use it to sell Prosecco at weddings or high end events. A mobile bar if you like which in my opinion would really attract attention & help create a great atmosphere at a themed event.
This is a highly sort after, super rare collectible classic. I have seen examples of lesser quality go for over £18K.. & of course they are only going to increase in value as the years go by.
A special vehicle which you are not likely to see very often in a lifetime!This is your chance to own a real piece of history in show room condition.
Please message or call me if you have any questions?
You are more than welcome to come & view the FD which is located in Staines-upon-Thames, Greater London.
Thank you
