Lambretta Reviews

I need this book for restaural my scooter of 1955.-

In my opinion the Lambretta was the best motorscooter ever made. This book does a great job of introducing one to the Lambretta. Wonderful for all..even envious vespa owners.

When I saw this book I was under the impression that I would get a lot of useful information about the Lambretta I was about to purchase. On the contrary, I found a bit of history along with a bunch of old ads. The price tag is a bit much for a book of such low quality. Most of the pages look as though they were created from photo copying images of very poor quality. It does not look to me as though any time or effort was spent in trying to present a quality product. I returned my copy.

This is a very interesting book, especially for Lambretta aficionados (I'm into Vespas myself). Lots of interesting black and white photos; some more colour ones would have been nice. Nigel Cox also runs the Lambretta Museum/shop in Weston-Super-Mare, U.K., and when I went there on a recent trip he showed me all the scooters he had in his back garden as well as what was in the shop. Extremely interesting place! Nice guy! Good book!

Nigel Cox is the premier Lambretta enthusiast of England. He owns a wonderful museum that includes every model of Lambretta ever made. HE IS THE AUTHORITY on the LAMBRETTA. This book covers Lambrettas from A to Z on everything from literature, sales brochures, advertising---heck everything. Go out and buy this book!
