As some of you may have seen in the current issue of Scootering there is a five page article on a 1960 Lambretta TV175 which my customers 94 year old Dad bought Brand New, His name is Leo Concannon and he rode it up until three years to go to the gym!!! (True)

Last year he gifted it to his Son Paul. I was asked if I would pop over and take a look to see if it was possible to get it back on the road and possibly restore it. Over the last 65 years, Leo had touched up the majority of the scooter to cover up rusty bits with 2 different layers of paint which were different colours to the original. It was agreed that a full restoration would spoil the history of the scooter so a sentimental rustoration took place.

It took 27 days to gently remove the 2 layers of paint (by hand) after stripping the scooter completely to get down to the original paint, then a good couple of layers of Satin Lacquer done by GT Finishing to bring it back to life.

Then a 12v conversion, cables, engine build etc and She's alive and now riding around the Villages of Oxfordshire.

It was an Honour to be trusted to carry out this amazing transformation and to meet Paul, his wife Nicky and especially the adorable Leo who through thick and thin never had to sell it to provide for his family, Hats off to you Sir.

Here's a few pictures of before during and after.

Anyone interested in these before I put them on Market Place, GS Style Mudguard and Horn cast for a PX, very small dent at the bottom of the horn cast, and very slight bit of rust along the seam of the mudguard. £100 the pair, collection from Wantage.

Please can I ask you all to share, a friend of ours had his bike stolen last night from the Cirencester area. Can anyone local keep an eye out for it dumped somewhere too. Many thanks

“KTM 250 was stolen from a locked container in the Ciren area last night by a group of individuals on quads, very clean bike. CCTV footage shows them breaking in and Police have been informed.
So any information regarding the whereabouts of it would be greatly appreciated.”
