1959 Lambretta Lambro fli 175

My wife and child got me a 1959 Lambretta lambro fli175 three wheeled scooter truck for my 40th birthday. It is in a state of disrepair but the motor is actually in a running state. I hope to document its restoration here.

History that I know so far.

The Lambro was shipped initially and used in Victoria most likely around Geelong in the early 60’s.  I know this because it has a service sticker on it.

Then apparently it was shipped to Strathalbyn, South Australia in 1965 to be used to cart apples around an orchard. I believe that it must have hauled more than one cart load of apples as their is a tow bar fitted to the back of the vehicle. Here it stayed until my friend and fellow scooter enthusiast Rick Young found it and another lambro there in various states of disrepair. He bought them and sold one to Darren Lashford who kept it for  12 months before selling it to me.

I intend to restore it to original and hope to use it to haul some of my other projects around such as the Dalek, or the band’s PA etc. Wish me luck. If you have any info at all on places i can get parts etc please contact me …
