"The untouched condition is what makes it special, "original only once." With proper care, this is a reliable and authentic scooter to cherish and ride."

Description

It was delivered new in March 1954 to Miss Britta Ternmalm in Majorna, Gothenburg, by the then general agent in Sweden, the Volvo dealer Bil & Truck AB in Gothenburg. The scooter was used by Ternmalm until 1956 when textile worker Bo Johansson from the same district took over the scooter. Just over two years later, it moved to painter Alvar Holmdahl in Stenungsund, north of Gothenburg, who kept it in traffic until at least 1971. Eventually, it ended up in the current owner's brother's moving and storage business where it was kept for many years before the current owner bought it from the aging owner, possibly the painter Holmdahl in Stenungsund. The scooter underwent a technical inspection with some minor repairs and was re-registered with an originality check in 2015. The most recent and last inspection was conducted on 2017-11-21.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The owner has technically repaired the scooter with new seals, switches, piston rings, and a honed cylinder, along with a new fuel tap, cleaned tank, and carburetor. A scooter from the fifties doesn't have much power from its 125 cc engine with shaft drive, but there's nothing wrong with its charm. Relatively easy to start with normal gear shifting smoothness and braking efficiency for a two-wheeler scooter of that era.

  • Interior condition:

    Handles, saddles and controls all appear to be untouched. In such a find condition, older scooters often have bent brake and clutch levers; on the Lambretta LD, they are made from a more brittle material and are therefore just as often slightly broken and worn, as is the case with this example. There is nothing wrong with the function, it's just a bit less surface area and a bit less leverage in the grip, and that's worth it for the sake of originality.

  • Exterior condition:

    The original paint is in a nicely worn and untouched condition. The current owner has only washed it, replaced the cables, and changed the tires; otherwise, it remains in its original found condition. The tires are of a slightly rougher type, but it's neither difficult nor expensive to find new, high-quality tires with a classic tread in the 4.00-8" size.

  • General condition:

    Drive-ready vintage scooter in a neatly patinated condition without any real needs other than normal care and maintenance. This means indoor storage and regular upkeep.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
