INNOCENTI LAMBRETTA 150 LD (1958) CHASSIS N. LD 313070 ENGINE: TWO-STROKE SINGLEDISPLACEMENT: 149 CM3POWER: 6 CV Before WW2, Ferdinando Innocenti founded a successful engineering company making steel pipes and joints still used today for scaffolding, and named “Tubi Innocenti”.Just after the war he saw the potential for an economic means of trans­port and created the Lambretta, so called because its factory was in the east suburb of Milan, Lambrate.Innocenti though was born in Pescia, a small town in Tuscany not far from Pontedera, where the Lambretta’s rival Vespa was produced by Piaggio.Lambretta had a tubular frame, to which the body panels were fixed, and the engine was a small single cylinder two stroker.The scooter we are proposing today comes from the final series of the 150 LD model.In 1957, the Lambretta, which up to then was always grey, was en­riched with a two-tone finish: the two rear lids, the front and the han­dlebar nacelle could be painted in Light Blue, Emerald Green, English Blue or Deep Red, like the one we are selling today. It has recently been restored: it is therefore in great condition minus the scratches on the lower right side.It is a very high quality example of a classic Italian scooter from the 1950s, with relatively good performance due to its displacement. It would be a perfect addition to any collection of 1950s Italian auto­mobiles!
