hello,

[j_sand]

Hi,
The new member is a Finn trying to do a period correct restoration. sadly not a British car at all but a scooter

Some of the british dealer specials used Lucas and Mini Parts so that´s the main reason I´m here.

Be seeing you.

Hello I Sand, Welcome! What is the make of your scooter? I may be able to steer you to a site that will be of more help. PJ

HI,
The one I´m trying to piece together is a Lambretta S-type Sx150. Do have another 225 ts1 Lambretta. but she´s complete

Needed parts are Lucas Rectifiers etc. for points ignition, but think they are mostly on brit motorbikes. Lucas rubber mounts and Lucas Pathfinder wft + wlr. and Mini "S" scricpt boot badges.

Is it a scooter forum you´re referring me to? :laugh:

Cheers.

I have used Cambridge Lambretta in the UK many years ago but I believe they are still around.
There is also Scooters Originali in New Jersey (USA) and they are a very good source for parts https://www.scootersoriginali.com/

I drive mine every chance I can in the warmer weather.

I´ve used Cambridge Lambretta a couple of times. Good shop otherwise. But they don´t have the parts I´m looking for. The things I´m looking for are new old stock parts.

I used to own a Vespa when I was in Cuba. What mine looked like;



Only thing I had for a long time and it never let me down. Here's a couple sites you might check out. Good luck with your project. PJ
