You actually have to watch this video twice. First time to read translation and understand the story, and second to just watch and enjoy the footage itself. Thank you
Nice
That intro made me a bit emotional. *About a scooter.* God damnit Petrolicious.
firebird188 Hi Firebird, I'm the filmmaker. Thanks for your message. It's awesome to see this message.
Maxence Massaro
+Maxence Massaro.....I have watched many of the Petrolicious videos and generally love them all. But I honestly believe that your video is the most stunning and beautiful I have ever watched.
It combines a poignantly told story about a lovely 1957 Lambretta and how it is inextricably intertwined with a French family's lives - right up to today and a young very much in love couple. Merci.
Hi, It touches me enormously. I'm glad you like it. It's a very motivating message...
the same here. My dad had one of them that used to sold in India, and I have no idea where on earth it is now :(
Nice
This video is a masterpiece ! Bring together the emotion of inter-generational transmission and the passion for mechanics moved me deeply.
Thank you for this moment of pure simplicity.
Cheers from France
Maxime Delestre has been featured in Petrolicious twice - once with a 1957 Austin Mini and now with this.
Maxime Delestre is a pretty cool kid.
Beautiful postcard of Europe and it's legacy.. Calm and nice, the way we want life to be........
Hands down........the nicest Petrolicious story you've ever produced. A huge pat on the back to all involved. Needless to say.......I absolutely loved it.
My grandfather got it as a gift for his marriage in 50's in India. Which was a huge deal( like getting a Mercedes in today's standards)
A better love story than twilight
Nice
🤣🤣
Petrolicious's videos just keep getting better and better
My father has a friend who restores Vespas and Lambrettas from the early 50s. Such a beautiful machines. They certenly have soul.
Does he still restore Vespas and lambrettas
Raymond looks pretty great for 92
Beautiful cinematography as always!
Driver's Side Hi Driver's Side, I'm the filmmaker. Thanks for your message. It's a real pleasur to see this.
Maxence
Maxence Massaro No problem! I hope to make many cinematic, storytelling videos on my channel about drivers and their cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc on my channel! Keep it up!
Nice
"We" are just as sentimental in America over our 'family heirloom' vehicles...there must be many, many thousands of families here who treasure 'an old relic' especially old scooters! (it's funny how so many people here are 'scooter fanatics' considering America is the 'Home of Power and Speed' ) Personally, I will never part from my immaculate '08 Honda "Metropolitan" in gloss-back & grey, and at almost 64 myself I intend for my 'scoot' to remain in my 'adopted family' for generations to come.
well done, petrolicious. i love that sometimes you combine motoring with relationship, but this one was especially touching. again, well done!
I would argue that all motoring is about a relationship. Sometimes it's with another person, others it's about the vehicle, but there's always a connection made.
One of the best video's ive seen on RUclips .. I don't think there are any vehicles with more emotion and character than old Italian scooters.
What a great story!
Wow what a beautiful story I confess I got a little choked up. And Maxmie Marry that girl.
Brilliant !...what I love most about this channel apart the beautiful editing of the videos is that it's not always about vehicles worth hundred of thousands or millions ! The features are from all walks of life !
One of the best Petrolicious videos in a while. Truly well done.
a lovely story. i had one of these when i was a schoolboy. i bought it for £3 from another boy in an older year at school. it had no side panels and was used to ride around the fields of a friends dads small farm. in those days these old scooters and motorbikes were easy and cheap to obtain. i am talking early 1960s. i am now 73 and still enjoy anything with 2 wheels . i am in the u k . another memory is of a friend who had a new Lambretta in 1962 an L I 125 brand new.he let me have a short ride on it up the lane and really smooth to ride.
I’m working on my late grandfather’s Lambretta series 1 right now! Was in storage for over 50 years.
I think that this is been the best episode of your channel. After so many great cars this Lambretta beat all of them without problem.
This is the real sense of loving classic cars or classic bikes,this is more then a passion,more then a hobby...so many people think that this is just a waste of money.
They would never understand
Congratulations #petrolicious
Beautiful. It tells a nice story of honor, youth age, adventure and love.
Throughaclearlens Life Exactly so!
Beautiful story and wonderful cinematography! Belle histoire et belle cinématographie.
The fresh unsophisticated beauty of early motoring + the fresh unsophisticated beauty of youth.
Beautiful emotional photography, i enjoyed this video very much.
I've had a Lambretta, Vespa, Piaggio even an Innocenti automobile but never did it go 225 miles without breaking down. I may not have been able to take it on road trips but it was fun when it did run smoothly. And I may not have had a beautiful Italian model on the back riding with me but I can say it was definitely a chick magnet. Great job again petrolicious! Way to mix it up!
Eric Hakanson She's probably French. You used to get one free with every purchase.
Et bien sûr j'ai un
Nice story and great video quality as usual.
I think that this is the best video I have seen at this channel. Truly it is exceptional. The camera work, the structure, so good. Also the storyteller is first class as well. Superb!
Brought a tear to my eye... great stuff.
that is a love story! you can see it in the eyes of everyone in the video. beautiful story. beautiful people. beautiful scooter. beautiful cinematography. beautifully produced. bravo, petrolicious!
Beautiful cinematography! Finding a lost love is always a great story.
What a great story. A beautifully restored Lambretta links a young and beautiful couple to an old, and still beautiful, couple. You made a short film out of it, a fantastic location in France, perfect colors.....
As always your best films are the ones that show a great history like this one. This is exactly what i dream of, that my kids will remember about me and my and someday their cars. Smiling alll the way thru the film and still am. Thanks petrolicious
i love how petrolicious made beautiful documentaries with great cinematography and color tones
It's wonderful to see how Petrolicios develops it's own art of filming full of emotion and beauty - so well done. Go on!
As always, a fantastic little video which pulls at the heartstrings. Well done Petrolicious.
Guy looks great for 92!
Damn @petrolicious you did hit the spot in our hearts again, so beautiful ❤
Great story telling. The old guy looks good for his age! Great production.
In the 1970s my paternal grandparents bought a Lambretta from an Italian embassy employee who was going home, having served in Warsaw for several years. According to family stories my grandparents took the little scooter on several trips, including one to the seaside, several hundred kilometres away. I never found out what happened to the little scooter, I imagine it must've ended up parted out or scrapped - getting parts for Western vehicles wasn't easy in communist Poland. I now live across the street from the Italian embassy in Warsaw. Perhaps I should ask around if they have any Lambrettas for sale.
Thank you Petrolicious, you're the only people that can give me tears of joy with a video about a humble scooter. Good luck Maxime!
Beautiful little movie!!!
Special one! Always great stories around beautiful machines!
The quality of videography and post-production at Petrolicious never ceases to amaze me - they HAD to go to school for this. That is isn't always cars is an awesome thing too - anything motorized can illicit a passionate reaction from an enthusiast =)
Bravo !!!! Une très belle video pleine d'émotion.
Merci.
Once again, absolutely brilliant.
It's the passion between the man and the machine.
Beautiful....fall short of words to describe the videos in this channel..... Lovely.... subscribing to this channel...
As is so often the case with Petrolicious, the machines are almost always fascinating, but ultimately it's about the people. And, wow, y'all really nailed it here.
A lovely story. Thanks for sharing.
Every video of Petrolicious is masterpiece of story and editing. But the are two really outstanding..... That Lambretta, and "Building Your Dream Ferrari Is A Beautiful Thing". Tears in my eyes, Thank You Petrolicious.
You made my day....
great story and cinematographic !!
I am simply mesmerized.
what an amazing story, perfectly shot ! It´s because of content like this why I love this channel
This is why I bought my 1973 vespa when I was 14, built it up and it's almost ready to ride now, I'm 16 now.
Great video, I own a 1956 French Ld125 which makes me smile whenever I take it out for a ride
that ending 😢 amazing!!
Insane cinematography
My god! It looked like a fairytale love story!
I had a Lambretta scooter in college in 1965-6. On the U. of Oklahoma it caused a stir for sure, since all the Fret boys had muscle cars. The Lambretta wasn't a chick magnet either, but it got me where I needed to go. Nice memories.
Didn't understand a word.... didn't need to. Beautiful.
Superb video, thanks for sharing.
Never been really into Lammies but this is a beautiful scoot! Top class!
Beautiful story + exellent video = Petrolicious
Awesome story and a awesome way to deliver it. Well done..!👍🏾
Very nice video, very well done and the Scooter is a dream!!!!
Petrolicious, I first discovered you on Jay Leno's Garage and so happy I did, your content is Top Notch, well made and often very touching. This video is no exception, keep up the good work, with RUclips ate up with Vain and Shallow creators to have videos like this with real quality content and production is a breath of fresh air.
Wunderschön. Meine Lambretta ist vor kurzen fertig geworden. Tüv hat sie bekommen und ich warte nur noch auf den Termin um sie anzumelden. Freu mich schon so.
Beautiful scooter and story, i had the same model and year in the 1970s in red and white, i had so much fun on it and wish i still had it.
Superb!
superbe video ,grand sujet ,la transmission ,superbe d'émotion,bravo Petrolicious.
Fantastic video and story
21 people gave this a thumbs down. WTF??
Great story! I enjoyed the movie a lot!
what a great story and machine.
Die lambretta ist so schön 😍
beautiful. all of 'em. c'est beau!!
I wish I knew French. but I understand the universal language of love; love for people, and most of all, love of machines. I rode Vespas and Bajajs for 25 years. On the odd occasion I rode Lambrettas, I was impressed with their precise handling even under wheel-lock braking. This video is one of the best I have seen for it not only tells a story but evokes one's sweetest memories. I thank you, and I wish you well, my friend.
tryarunm the language "love for machines" is italian
BRAVO !!!!
Beautiful! I owned a 1956 125li.......paid £60 for it in 1981.
I rode it around the streets of Newcastle totally illegally;still had the last tax disc from when it was on the road,1961!
virgil rytaar hi buddy, I've just finished restoring one of these. Are you Newcastle England or somewhere else. I'm Carlisle England
Fall in love by Lambreta..

Questi piccoli mezzi hanno costruito le basi della nostra vita moderna. La loro semplicità ha portato una ventata di freschezza e felicità nelle nostre case. Venivano usati in tutti i modi: dal lavoro in campagna alle scampagnate al mare con la famiglia... Il loro fascino è immortale. In Italia, ogni famiglia ha avuto o ha tutt'ora una Lambretta o una Vespa. Io, da appassionato e da possessore di un P125X, capisco perfettamente le emozioni e la felicità di guidare mezzi del genere. Non è un semplice mezzo di metallo, ma un membro della famiglia che completa, a modo tutto suo, il significato di "vivere".
