lambretta series 2 restore

[@Quartermoon193]

Superb. Series II still has more appeal than any other, damn fine machine.

fantastic restoration you got there mate..what a nice lammy!!

[@lambretta]

great job ,

[@lammydave]

hi, the only tips i can offer are.. take your time bodywork is all about preperation ask for help! (lcgb website) buy parts from people you trust expect problems .. it's a lambretta take lots of photos when it's done, be proud! good luck david

[@lammydave]

yep ... S2 .. simply the best. GP all done now, just got to get it registered.

[@lammydave]

yes, all the paintwork was carried out by me in my back garden... thanks for the comments

[@lammydave]

As this was the 2nd one i had done, most of the work was quite easy and rewarding. What i did find is that the series 2 is a more robust machine than the series 3, and all the panels seem to fit a whole lot better .. probably my favourite lammy, but i am about to start on a GP, so that may take precedence, we'll see! thanks for the comments

[@lammydave]

thanks for the commebts, everyone... the music is by Herb Alpert and is called "Rise"

[@lammydave]

thanks for the comments.. the tune is by herb alpert and is called "rise"

[@lammydave]

well, my first one took 18 months ... but this one was really speedy ... about 6 months!! I am at full time work, so only get to work on them now and again, plus i have to do all the spraywork outdoors, so it has to be a warm, sunny day with no wind, which all adds to the timescale!! thanks for the comment

[@bird1751]

@lammydave i love so much your lammy i favorite heheheheheeh amazing work mate be proud!!! im sure you treasure it :)) i would love to have one again I had one in brasil sold to move here and miss one like crazy my was blue and white 1960 Li150 ..how i dream to have another like it or like yours :)

[@lammydave]

thanks for the comment... a fair price here in the uk for an unrestored one in similar condition would be around £800 GBP hope this helps david

Hi, scooter looks great! What was the hardest thing about building it. Just got a series 2 125 and about to rebuild it. Really enjoying it so far but i know its not all gonna be fun.

[@lammydave]

@bird1751 thanks... she is probably the one i treasure the most...

[@CrocodileJock]

Nice work Dave. Great seeing an old classic brought back to life. Seies II is my favourite model too, I think. How's the GP rebuild going?

[@arturocamillacci]

No plans for getting a luggage rack/spare wheel holder? (that's what the four holes above the tail light are for...)

[@mathmetool]

Hi there, just doing a series2 myself. Not to hot on the electrical side of things yet. Did you convert it to 12v or did already have the battery in it?

[@davidchapman7033]

Hi David, I'm restoring a 1963 Series 2 and i cant figure out how to remove the badges on the side panels, they seem to be riveted on and i don't really want to drill them off, any ideas?

[@lammydave]

unfortunatly, i have no knowledge of tamorettis ... all i can say is, you can still get lambrettas cheap-ish .. try sam at lambrettafinder (google it) he is in belgium, you can pick up a running scooter at a reasonable price ... dont know where you are, but for us living in the south east, delivery is free!! .. then you can restore is at you go!! wait for a lambretta, true style!!
