While Mods dominated the headlines with their bank holiday antics, scooters attracted a more serious following during the 1960s with the racing crowd, which was originally managed on a small scale by the Federation of British Scooter Clubs, prior to the arrival of the British Scooter Sport Organisation in 1975. The Li 125 and 150 models were some of Lambretta’s most popular offerings up to 1967, but the original company had its zenith (and also its swansong) with the GP range of 125, 150 and 200cc models from 1969 to 1971. There was always a desire to make Lambrettas go faster, and a wide variety of tuning parts were offered, including large-capacity cylinders and five-speed gearboxes.

This exciting racing special began its career in the 1970s, but it ended up languishing in a dismantled state until last year, when the vendor put it back together for historic sprints, hill-climbs and track days. The 1963 Li frame is paired with later GP bodywork, and features a highly modified engine that has been enlarged to 225cc. Performance parts and modifications include an Avanti TT3 reed-valve cylinder kit, a 38mm flat-slide carburettor, a five-speed gearbox, an original inboard disc brake converted with a hydraulic slave cylinder, a steering damper, outboard coil over front suspension, a Yamaha R1 rear damper, and a Protti expansion exhaust. Said to go like a rocket, it really deserves to see some action this season. At this moment in time, a registration has been applied for and should be here in time for the auction.
