1959 Lambretta Li 150
Lambretta Li 150 Serie 2 1959
The Series 2, now featured a headlight built into the headset top, which turned with the steering. Li 125 models came with a single front seat as standard, while the 150 had a rear also. The rear on the 125 was a cost option, as was a single bench seat. Flooring was different from 125 to 150 models, the 125 had grey floor rubbers, with "cross cross" alloy channels on top. The 150 versions had alloy channels, with rubber inserts into these, with end caps to finish off the rubbers. Mid production changes were from the early style of rear rear light as found on the Li first series, to a later taller one offering more lighting area. Again as per the first series models, early examples of the second series retained the round horn grille, with later ones switching to larger a pear shaped horn grille.
The badging on the Li's wore the same long "Lambretta embellisher" as the first series models. Leg shields wore a crest in the centre of the horn casting, which hid two bolts to help secure the horn casting, and badge clip. On the leg shields was fitted a thin chrome Lambretta badge, with either a Li125 or Li 150 model badge beneath it, again chromed. UK models also gained a round brass badge, with the St Georges dragon on it. All body rubbers and trim were grey, along with the control cables, except for the following :- The stand feet and kick start rubber were black, the rear light body gasket was white. Other improvements were mainly to the engine, with stronger crank and bearings. Colours for the Series 2 were generally two tone, with red/grey, blue/grey, coffee/cream, yellow/orange with grey, and then in complete colours of mistletoe green, Winchester blue, powder blue and red. Mostly supplied with separate saddle seats, later ones came with a dual seat as standard. The new models were even cheaper than the series one models they replaced helping Innocenti to achieve sales.
