Lambretta is a brand of motor scooters originally manufactured in Milan, Italy by Innocenti and also manufactured under licence by Société Industrielle de Troyes (S.I.T.) in France, NSU in Germany, Serveta in Spain, API in India, Pasco in Brazil, Auteca in Colombia and Siambretta in Argentina. In 1972, the Indian government bought the Milanese factory and the rights to the Lambretta name, creating Scooters India Limited (SIL). Today, the Innocenti name rights are owned by Fiat whereas the oldest Lambretta and Lambro trademark registrations worldwide are owned by Scooters India Limited (SIL).
Taking a year longer to manufacture, the 1947 Lambretta featured a rear pillion seat for one passenger or optionally a storage compartment. The actual front protection “shield” is a flat piece of aero metal; later this developed in to a twin skin to permit additional storage around the ‘back of’/behind the front shield, similar to the glove compartment in a car. The fuel cap was beneath the (hinged) seat which saved the cost of an additional lock on the fuel cap or need for additional metal work on the smooth skin.
Deriving the name Lambretta from the small river Lambro in Milan, which ran near the factory, Innocenti started production of Lambretta scooters in 1947 – the year after Piaggio started production of its Vespa models. Lambrettas were manufactured under licence in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, India and Spain, sometimes under other names but always to a recognizable design (e.g. Siambretta in South America and Serveta in Spain).
Many original Lambretta’s continue to be ridden by enthusiasts today, most spare parts continue to be available as a result of many remade parts, original Innocenti parts are highly valued and sort after, particularly when still boxed and unused. These parts are known as New Old Stock (NOS).
