Scooting to Paris

The Argus, 23rd March 1956

Scooting
to Paris

People living along the Europe-Australia route are by now used to cars and motor-cycles shuttling between the two continents, but now they're going to see something new.
This will be a French family, Mr. and Mrs. P. Montin and their two children, all travelling by special Lambretta from Sydney to Paris.

It is a Lambretta light truck, a three-wheeler based on the scooter, with the body specially adapted for passenger carrying.
The route will be through India, Pakistan,- Afghanistan and Middle East. countries, Greece, and Italy to France.
