These photos were taken in 2012. The scooter has 2800 genuine km on the clock. Originally registered in Victoria, and bought from Stanco, it was then bought by someone in Byron Bay, but was never put on the road again. It was then purchased, in late 2011, by Siobhan Ellis, who returned it to original operating condition, including tracking down an indicator unit. It was still running on 6V points and had a CEV indicator unit (See technical section for details). When purchased it still had the original tyres (Kingfisher of India).

Siobhan has since sold it on, and made the new owner promise to not restore it. It's currently (2015) still being used around Sydney, although it has been since upgraded to an Electronic ignition and the seat finally fell apart, prompting a replacement.

This shows the original indicator unit "black box" in the battery tray. It contained 5 NiCad batteries, a flasher unit and a simple circuit board.

Hi, I have seen your lambretta and i have noticed that your lambretta is somewhat different to any other lammys. My question is i have one incredibly similar with the holes in the headset and the indicators but mine is in a slightly different location. I was wondering if you have any more information as i cannot seem to find a bike other than you one with similar attributes. Many thanks in advance, Mo
