Marketwatch: 1952 Lambretta 125 C

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!
