Not a Kettle

Post by keithbailey »

After putting five Kettles back on the road I thought it was time for a change. I purchased a barn find 1962 Lambretta from Italy. I must say this was a enjoyable project but one I will not be repeating I quite fancy a 550GT for a change I just missed out on one from DK but I am sure one will come up.

My next door neighbor who is a “born again mod” :roll: has bought one of the new Vespas complete with disc brakes & electric start because he couldn’t afford a real Lambretta. Apparently they fetch a LOT of money nowadays ;)
Nice job by the way but not my thing at all

Well, depends on what kind of project you want. I just happen to have a GT550K bought as a spares bike some time ago that I shan't be restoring.
Been in Skipwith near York today (again) too.
