BTW....the guy posing in the second photo with Colt is the same guy I had problems while buying the Fantabulous.....he was trying to be smart.....smart means very smart....
But he never expected me to see me in front of his house in Chennai in one early morning
Lastly took all my money back from him.....and dealt directly with Srinivas in Triplicane
Thought him a good lesson about Genuine Dealing

1982 Lamby 150
One fine morning my school teacher called me to visit him. I went to his house and he just handed over some keys to me.....I had no idea of what it is all about.....then he said it's of my scooter and you are only the right person who will take care better
He used this scooter for more than 25 years and couldn't use any more as he had some back problems.
The scooter was mechanically FIT and only thing I did is Painting......
Me and my friend rode 2 scooters Mangalore - Bangalore in Aug 2010 covering 420Km. (Will upload photo's of the ride later)
One was this scooter and other one was 1967 Lambretta Li150.
Believe me Lambretta gave average of 35km/L and this Lamby gave 39km/L ...
Can any help sourcing me GOOD QUALITY of Lamby 150 leg shield badge.....I have changed 3 times and these plastic ones tend to break quickly.
2 times it was by my son.....

The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited, BSA
Approx Year 1941-1945
In 1941 BSA was approached to produce a new pedal cycle with a maximum weight allowance of only 22 lb especially for airborne use. This required a new concept in frame design which BSA found; producing a machine which weighed 21 lb, one pound less than the design specification and which also exceeded the design requirement for an effective life of 50 miles many times over. Over 70,000 folding bicycles were produced.
The BSA airborne bicycle was used in battle, but not as much as originally planned.
The plan appears to have been that the bicycles would be mass produced and make the airborne soldiers mobile once they had landed. It was better and faster than walking.
The British Airborne Forces used a few on operations, but as larger vehicles such as the jeep were available by June 1944, the bicycles were far less important.Comment

1982 Lamby 150....continued
Automobile Products of India (API) began assembling Innocenti-built Lambretta scooters in India after independence in the 1950s. They eventually acquired a license to build the Li150 Series 2 model, which was sold under the Lambretta Series 2 name until about 1976 and later on changed the name to Lamby for legal reasons as Scooter India Ltd acquired the entire Innocenti Unit in 1972.
API also built the trademark model [API-175] 3 wheeler which was based on Innocenti's Lambro. API continued to build Lambretta-derived models until the 1980s but have been non-operational since 2002.
API Lambretta
API was the first Indian scooter manufacturer. Scooters were initially assembled from Innocenti kits and sold under the Lambretta name. However, in the early 1960s API acquired the rights to produce the Li150 series 2 model. This was restyled with a smaller mudguard, smaller legshields, dual seats and press-on side panels.
MAC Scooters
In 1972 Scooters India Ltd acquired exclusive rights to the Lambretta name. API then sold its scooters under the MAC brand, M.A.C being the initials of its founder (Dr. Muthiah Annamalai Chidambaram). The MAC 175 came on to the market in the same year.
Lamby
API started selling scooters under the Lamby name in 1977. The Lamby scooter was remodeled several times, the last of these being the Lamby Polo in 1986. This had sharp corners and edges, and looked sleeker than earlier models. Unfortunately it failed to sell and production ceased.
The Lamby and MAC brands are virtually unknown outside India as API's license prohibited them from selling Lambretta-derived scooters elsewhere.
