1965 Lambretta Li125 | London

A 1965 Lambretta Li125, the Italian 125cc scooter with a tubular frame and protective enclosed bodywork. It is closely tied to British Mod culture of the 1950s and 1960s, and its compact, rounded lines still read clearly as that decade. This one is white with black trim, in very good condition. The clean white panels stand out against brick, concrete or green backdrops, and the small shape leaves the location visible around it. It carries two people. Period film and television work set in the Mod years is where it sits most naturally, since the shape alone places a scene in time. Photography and fashion and editorial shoots gain a neat, bright subject, and at events it is small enough to dress into a space as a feature. For a wedding or personal hire it adds a light, retro touch. The scooter is based in London.
