Description
Win This Incredible 1961 Lambretta Series 2 – Monza 240cc 5-Speed Custom
This is no ordinary classic Lambretta.
Originally a 1961 Lambretta Series 2 and registered as a 125cc, this stunning scooter has undergone a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration and has been transformed into a seriously capable Monza 240cc 5-speed machine.
Built only last year and having covered approximately 300 miles since completion, virtually every aspect has been carefully considered. From the freshly built 240cc engine on brand-new casings, through to the Cyclone 5-speed gearbox, Daryl Taylor crank, SIP Vape ignition and Nissin front disc brake, this is a scooter built to be ridden rather than simply admired.
And then there's the paintwork.
The incredible deep metallic green and black finish was created by Hobnob Race Paints, complete with beautifully executed gold-leaf detailing. In the sunshine the metallic green absolutely comes alive, while the black and gold accents give it a properly distinctive custom look.

A Properly Special Lambretta
There are restored Lambrettas, there are tuned Lambrettas, and then there are builds like this where somebody has gone to considerable lengths to create the complete package.
The classic lines of the Series 2 have been retained, but underneath sits a completely different proposition. The 240cc Monza engine, Cyclone 5-speed transmission, 30mm Dell'Orto and Avanti ST exhaust give it the performance to match its appearance, while the BGM suspension and Nissin disc provide worthwhile chassis upgrades.
Perhaps most importantly, this isn't a freshly completed project that still needs sorting. The scooter was completed last year, has covered around 300 miles, and has been set up by Wilkinson Racing.
The paintwork is a major feature in its own right. The metallic green changes dramatically depending on the light, contrasting beautifully against the gloss black centre sections and gold detailing. It's the sort of scooter that will attract attention whether it's parked at a show, outside the pub or lined up with a hundred other Lambrettas.
Win It!
For anyone into Lambrettas, custom scooters or classic two-strokes, this is a seriously desirable prize.
A build of this standard takes far more than simply buying a scooter and bolting on a few performance parts. You've got the cost of the donor scooter, full restoration, new engine casings, Monza 240 setup, 5-speed gearbox, premium components, bespoke paintwork and countless hours of labour and setup.
One winner gets to skip all of that and take home the finished machine.
Get your tickets in and you could soon have this incredible 1961 Series 2 Monza 240 sitting in your garage — although with paintwork like this, you'll probably spend more time showing it off than hiding it away.
