Wow, this scooter really just hits all the right notes. It is a Lambretta C, and in the US no less. These scooters were never sold here, so this one must have been brought back from Europe at some point a long time ago, used a bit, and then tucked away. it still wears its original paint, and it is in remarkable condition. I love it! If this were not three thousand miles away from me, I'd make a play for it. If you are on the East Coast, buy this thing! I bet a weekend of tinkering and a set of rings will get it running.
Funny, there was another barn find Lambretta C on Ebay last week out of the mid-west. It was not nearly as nice as this one though. These are quite rare in the US, but don't really have a lot of value. It would be a good way of expanding your scooter collection to include something truly rare, but without spending a lot of money to do it. What an odd-ball scoot!
