Veloce books have just released the Lamberetta Bible. This book is an in-depth look at one of the world’s greatest scooter marques, including detailed information on the main Italian-built models, the Lambretta Concessionaires machines and British dealer specials.

The Author

The Scarborough scooter rallies of the late 1970s was where Pete Davies' interest in Lambretta scooters began. Through the 1980s until today, Pete has owned a variety of Lambrettas made in Italy, Spain and India, from the humble LD 150 to a tuned GP 150. In 1999 Pete undertook the role of Vehicle Registrar for the Lambretta Club of Great Britain, and with it came a desire to discover far more detailed information on Lambretta scooters, wherever they were built. Now running the British Lambretta Archive, Pete is still discovering and sharing information on what he claims is the world’s finest scooter.

Features:
  • Covers all Lambretta models built in Italy from 1947 to 1971
  • Complete model-by-model record of each machine
  • New, previously unpublished photographs

  • 1960s British dealer specials covered too
  • Includes specially prepared machines from Lambretta Concessionaires
  • Full machine specifications and production changes, year-by-year
  • Paint code information
  • Original publicity & original promotional material
  • Detailed information from ex-dealer and Lambretta Concessionaires staff

Lambretta are very nice. I am partial to Vespas, but like all scooters. Hope others catch on to the trend as it means less accidents and cheaper gas prices for everyone.

Best,
