SOLD: 1965 Lambretta Lambro Fli 175 Series 2 Triporteur
UPDATE: 30 MAY 2007: NOW SOLD
This is my 1965 Lambro FLi 175 Lambretta triporteur. It has a 125cc engine fitted, but I don’t know if this was installed from the factory or later. It’s in good running order except that the diff is noisy; so we’ll have that apart as the first job.
The body is good and it’s surprisingly original all round - it even has its original tarpaulin.
Here’s a photo of an FLi 175 in the 1960 film ‘Classe tous risques, ’
Soraya and I went to France to collect it. Here we are next to the moving windmill we passed on the return journey.
It’s usually an interesting experience transporting 3-wheelers. It is mounted on my towing dolly - an apparatus that is supposed to transport a vehicle behind; but we discovered that with a bit of improvisation, the Lambro fit perfectly on top.
After this discovery, I’ll make up an extra ramp attachment to make it easier for future triporteur transportation.
