In the history of the Lambretta, the TV and LI Series I laid the foundations of a new engineering concept that revolutionised the traditional model with shaft drive, sold from 1947 to 1958 in hundreds of thousands of examples. There were numerous innovations characterising this new series of models: the engine adopted a duplex chain transmission with a four-speed gearbox and the cylinder was set horizontally, while in terms of the chassis, the most significant novelties concerned the larger 10 wheels and the dimensions of the bodywork. No less important were the improvements to the rear suspension, which abandoned the famous torsion bar for a more efficient motorcycle-style spring-damper unit. For the first time a Lambretta reached a displacement of 170 cc and could offer high performance with a maximum speed of over 100 kph. This model, which went head-to-head with the Vespa 150 GS, is without doubt one of the most sought-after by collectors today. Even the more tranquil LI 125 and 150 were extremely successful, with thousands of examples of this exceptional Innocenti scooter still on the roads today, appreciated for their incredible robustness and stability. Vittorio Tessera, Mr Lambretta, covers the entire technical, industrial and social history of these models, while the books is illustrated with hundreds of photographs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49737270493457,"sku":"NGR9788879117159","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8879117157.jpg?v=1779875040"},{"product_id":"lambretta-dl-gp-book-vittorio-tessera-9788879118699","title":"Lambretta DL\/GP","description":"The fascinating story of the Milanese scooter par excellence concluded with the Lambretta DL-GP series.

This led to the Junior series, models destined for a younger clientele and with a retail price that was more affordable compared to the traditional LI and TV models. The Junior series was produced with various displacements, from the smallest 50 cc, aimed at the 14-year-olds, to the higher performance 100 and 125, designed for young people looking for a practical and economic means of transport that could be used for out-of-town weekend trips. Initially, in the early months of 1964, only the 100 cc displacement was available, destined for the export markets; late in 1964, the range was expanded with the 50 cc and 125 cc models. 1966 saw the introduction of the new 125 four-speed, which was much punchier and faster, while in 1968, the 4 Dl boasted redesigned side panels and 10 wheels. The final version produced was the 50 Special with a number of styling modifications and new colours. This last model remained in production through to the closure of the factory in May 1971. A total of 167,784 examples were produced in the three displacements. The series was without doubt a commercial success and still has a place in the hearts of Lambrettisti the world over.This new book devotes specific chapters to questions of production, technology, advertising, and many other areas of interest regarding this series of models that once again enjoyed notable success with the public.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743822422289,"sku":"NGR9788879119023","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51771104067857,"sku":"GOR014396266","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8879119028.jpg?v=1751441834"},{"product_id":"lambretta-d-ld-125-150-book-vittorio-tessera-9788879118118","title":"Lambretta D\/LD 125\/150","description":"The industrial and technical history of the Lambretta D\/LD series, the classic Lambretta par excellence, the model that has represented the purest essence of the scooter \"made in Italy\", as told through invaluable archive materials.
