The front suspension retained the original classic Innocenti design which were trailing links sat on buffers. You know when a classic Lambretta is about.

The sound out of the tailpipe lost none of its distinctive two-stroke note. Mechanical items such as fuel hose, air box, air filter and accompanying elbows, joints and widgets could all now be housed tidily away.Īt the back end, an upgraded exhaust box, with a separate u-bend up to the cylinder was manufactured to replace the previous system. Which was nice and probably saved a few ankle bone bashings over the years. The more svelte body shape of the S3 allowed for an easier kick start pedal with less of a kink out. With petrol at two-bob a gallon (oh how we miss those times!) no-one really cared about more mpg, they just bombed about more! This modification delivered improved mpg, but also increased the performance of the peppy little Li. A new carb was fitted that had the float bowl beneath the main carb body instead of clumsily off-set to one side. Mechanically, the changes were more subtle, but the adaptations made a big difference. Two single seats were standard, but for a small increase in price, the customer could opt for the one piece seat. New headlight, horn, slimmer leg shields, re-modelled side panels, sleeker rear running boards all contributed to a smooth, uncluttered look. The frame went on to be the basic staple for a huge range of Lambrettas. The design was slimmer and sleeker than the previous Series 2. The so-called ‘slim style’ Li Series 3 was a brilliant sixties design. In doing so, they became two wheeled icons Our Manuals have clear instructions and hundreds of photographs that show each step.Although it may have started life with the rather humble intention of getting the masses moving, Lambretta scooters took on whole different persona all of their own. Our authors and technicians work out the best methods to do a job and present this with the home mechanic in mind. Every Manual is based on a complete stripdown of the bike.
