@MrRowrow22 you can pick some rusterations up at good prices , but at most is around 1800 , , also you have to find the good italian parts dont use indian parts in a rebuild there not as good quality .. im currently doing a li150 myself , and i got it at a bargain of a price of 850 complete scoot , but i have spent nearly 2k on it , and its in process of being sprayed and then be put back together bit by bit :)

quality Dave... never owned a scoot but i do love them... i would be rpoud riding one like this.. she is a beauty mate... just out of interest are they easy to restore and are parts easy to source?
Are they easy to restore?? ... generally, yes, and there are some good publications and videos out there that are a great help. Yes, the parts, here in the UK, are easy to source, you can still buy every last nut, bolt and washer from quite a few sources
Hi David. I found your videos! Great stuff. Oh and if you are wondering who this is, I'll simply say thank you for listening to me talking about Doctor Who yesterday in a church hall in Chatham....
Not bad at all, cost a few grand i would say. You know i'v been scootering now for over 20 years and if i got a pound for every spoofer who told me at one time or another they had "5 scooters in the shed" or an SX200, or that they "cut up an SX200 in the eighties" etc...etc.... i could comfortibly retire in the morning.
There are so many people who claim they had an SX200 they must have been giving them away with breakfast cerial.
Just looked at your other vids. All nice work. Back in the day I did have a GT200 for a while and of course I sold it on for £90 (i think). I sure wish I'd kept it..
funny you should say that,i had 4 scooters in my shed,2 gp200,sitalian of course ,one i paid 200 quid for the other i found dumped by the river thames in greenhithe ,i did that one up and nothing could touch it for speed after id done my magic ,the other 2 were li,s my dad used to go mad at me because he couldnt get into his shed anyway thats another pound for you lol
one before your model and he rebuilt it with the engine in in his launch hours. he did the spraying at work. it brought back some memories I can tell you
Yeah, that's the music I'll be hearing in my head, as I pass you going 80 in my 25yo, just as rusty, Honda Rebel. Until I get smoked myself by someone with a Ninja ratbike doing 150 held together with duct tape and spot welds.
In 1971 purcased an li150 lambretta red/white had the time of my life .loved the 60s and 70s great video ,still remember the registration...GRK36D.. great times love to reminis take care and thanx 4 the memory..from kettering northants england
you may not remember, but i asked you a ? on here a year ago , it was your video that gave me the idea to do a restro ,,, cheers mate , just posted video , but the kids , recorded over some of it .. doh
Thanks for that .. although that was 4 years ago, and the scooter is starting to look a little tired now .. may well give it a makeover next year .. my latest resto is a 1970 GP which is coming together nicely now .. watch this space soon for another video!!
Got to swear, but thats fucking awesome my friend. i have only ever owned vespas, never been lucky enough to get a good lammy, i always fancied the GP200. This is a brilliand little video well done sir.
Cracking job mate do you do any of these meets? (e.g. Isle of Wight) went to that one this year and now I'm hooked. Looking forward to owning my own scooter and restoring it, nothing quite like it.
Mate you gotta do it there's nothing quite like it A couple of questions if I may 1. I'm 16 comin on 17 & was wondering what kind of engine I could use (bear in mind i'm not technically minded but it doesn't stop me having a go & wanting to go reasonably quick!) 2. When changing gears can you catch onto it pretty quickly or not? 3. Any advice on where to get one on the cheap in reasonably good condish but I can still restore and put my own personal touch on? << Thats for anyone reading. Thanks.
Hi im going to sel my vfr nc30 after be coming a loan dad whont somthing safer but dont wont to loes my 2 wheels.. can i ask is it worth restoring or buying one thats in good condition.. how about they indian inports that are done by companys any thoughs and advice ..Andy ps great job and vid
if you enjoy restoring, then do it yourself, more satisfaction and you know what's gone in to it
as to the indian imports they vary in quality greatly, if you are going to get one, then speak to people on a website such as LCGB or WKFASC, my advise would be NOT to import one yourself, lots of possible issues with build quality and import duties, it's always easier to register a scooter that is from within the EU and there wont be the question of import duty etc
yes , cheap ebay bits didnt fit or , was poor what i got for my tv 175 , thanks for your reply , ps see you in about 10 years when i finsh this one lol
im just starting my own restro job ,a 66 spanish 150 special and i would like to know how much you manage to use a again , ie wire loom , hubs, brakes , another great job by the way
i used as many ols parts as possible, but i fitted electronic 12v ignition and renewed the wiring loom, as some of the wires were cracking up with age, and i repaced all the seals on front and back brakes, but reused the shoes as they were uncomtaminated and work fine ...
the engine was done by a dealer, but he bodged certain bits, so now i do my own, and i also learnt only to buy parts from trusted sources, some cheap ebay bits are not worth the money!
my sister who live in italy has just found me a li125 series 3 in fair nick i have just got to drive to italy from manchester to pick it up then the restoration can begin
thanks, rowanbruce ..... not too much to say, if your friend is doing the restore then all the hardwork is done .... must say the most enjoyable part was the restore for me ... but just be very proud, you will be riding an icon!! and treat her gently and dont expect to whizz around at 100mph!! enjoy!!
great work lammydave,i almost want to get one again,hehehe.
I owned and retored loads of theses back in the eighty's,when you could still pick them up for twenty five pound's,not now,i hear.still you have inspired me to do,,,well something man,they never really worked verry well though,did they,I hate them,but,the vespa's always seemed faster,and more reliable to me,,,,,,rose tinted spec's maybe,heheheh,,,good work man,i am proud of you.
Personally I liked the SX Panels more, but the originals the greatest, I think this video has done a great deal of help for some including me, thanks a lot!!
sx panels are fibreglass, they were just temporary as the standard panels were the last things to get sprayed, and i was getting impatient to get the scoot on the road!
