Have fun rebuilding it, then ride it and enjoy it, there's nothing quite like the smell and noise of a 2 stroke! Got 2 myself.

That’s the intention, Dad is in his 70s and has told his mum he is going to ride it to hers when done

No battery tray, so it's ready for a variety of high performance kits with rt. side carb exit. :)

Just in case you haven’t found out yet, your Dads is a Series 3 Li. Either 125cc or 150cc. But the bore size is the only difference between the two. This model was available from 1962 most of the way through the 60’s. Very common so easy to get spares for. Be careful with cheap parts, it almost certainly means they are crap. Always buy from decent scooter shops such as Cambridge Lambretta or Scootopia for example. And get Sticky’s manual. It will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know including how to strip and rebuild every variant. Good luck

Thanks :)

Does anybody know what model is the Lambretta model at 6:20 please? I am new to all of this and I am struggling to tell one from another at the moment.

Li 125/150 Series 2

[@LordCsGarage]

I am still Learning but I think it is an early 60s Li 150

@@LordCsGaragehow to tell an early S2 model from a later one is the horn grill in the horncast. Early one is round while later one is pear shaped.
