The GP150 was the last of the great Lambretta scooters that rolled off of Innocenti’s production line in Milan. The GP150 followed the SX range and retained the engine SX engine prefix before the serial number. They were produced from January 1969 until April 1971. There were however significant improvements to the engine over the SX including: improved crankshaft, a complete overhaul of the gearbox ratios and improved Ducati ignition. The iconic bodywork followed the trends of the day of the early 1970’s. The Bertone design was more streamlined than its predecessors with a new frame and rectangular headlight.

This GP150 has been issued ‘rebuilt’ status by the DVLA and the code is correct for a UK built vehicle being rebuilt in 2006. We have checked with them and also the HPI report both come up legitimate and correctly done despite the frame number appearance. The scooter is painted in a very 1980s style metal flake with striping effect. There are significant bills within a large and supplied history file. A TS1 225 kit was supplied by Chiselspeed in 2016 and subsequent dyno tests by PSN scooters show a BHP achieved of over 15 HP. There are a number of performance upgrades including disc brake and performance Dellorto carburettor.

In more recent times our vendor purchased this scooter for over £7100 last year from West Midland Motorcycles and in a bid to make it useable for himself has another bill for £3450 from Cambridge Lambretta for the addition of a modern electric start system. Unfortunately our vendors health has deteriorated and his dream machine is now for sale for a fraction of what it has cost him. We were unable to see it working as the battery needed charging when we were there. However in our opinion with some know-how this can be put into quick service. The extensive file of bills and the machine will be available for close inspection during the auction viewing times.
