The Lambretta SX – A Sixties Icon the

The Lambretta SX scooter has always been close to my heart since the mid-sixties when had to be a Mod or a Rocker. At that time I was too young to ride a motorcycle or scooter, but he loved everything Mod fashion.

My friends were mostly more than I for a couple of years which means they were allowed to own beautifully polished chrome Vespa with bubbles that are big bikes, but better than a couple of them had the amazing Lambretta SX 200. What I liked most about the SX was that it seemed most of the Vespa, which not only improves and rational, but that seems to give more space for a passenger to travel in comfort.

The whole Mod thing was great, living in Newcastle meant that there was a real buzz, but if we wanted to try these wonderful speed machines that we head to the country, probably in Northumberland. As a passenger I felt like we were 90 miles per hour, but in reality of the Lambretta SX was only capable of speeds around 75 mph.

Recently I discovered an article about a guy named Nathan Redfearn and renewing reconstructs scooters. The thing I noticed was a picture of a perfectly restored Lambretta SX 200 with side panels of the Union Jack, which was quite impressive. Reading on I discovered that he had moved to Vietnam in 2003 while working for ICI, its antecedents are in the restoration of cars in Britain and the United States.

It was great to read that he felt he owed his existence to the Lambretta, apparently in the sixties that his mother was a young man walking the streets in Torquay Mod its blue and white SX. In these days has a passion for restoration, and has launched a business in Ho Chi Min City (formerly Saigon).

With his wife Vietnamese and a fully trained workforce of about sixty people who import and scooters strip down to their components before lovingly restored look like new. Replace rusted or worn parts before putting them on a template of truth, and finally reassemling and painting. All parts are replacements true origin of the taste Piaggio.

As a company they are addressed directly to the bike and classic car enthusiast, but you can say that his first love is the Lambretta. Restoration 30 to 40 bikes per month to be delivered anywhere in the world and guarantee of satisfaction. It's really wonderful to see someone so passionate about motorcycles that are capable of turn a hobby into a thriving business.
