The Lambretta LD Mk1 was first introduced in 1951 as a successor to the LC. It had covered panels over a tubular frame and had the addition of a torsion bar. This feature remained on all Lambrettas until 1958. The LD also had springs enclosed in the front forks. The Mk2 had a number of improvements. The rear brake was now cable-controlled and the gears used a single teleflex cable. There was also a small luggage box which housed the optional speedometer. The whole ride experience was much improved and the LD Mk2 was subsequently a very popular model.
This extremely original and complete example was discovered at the Dorset Steam fair in 2021 and purchased from a gentleman who knew the original owners. As far as he knew the scooter had last been on the road in 1960. This could be true as the last stamp in the Buff log book shows a 1959 tax stamp. What is striking on the scooter is the extremely rare original South East London Club transfer. Surely unique and well worth bringing this superb scooter back to life for. It also has a very rare type of rear carrier rack and an even rarer Smiths speedometer. The buff log book and NOVA are on file to retain the original registration number.
