Lambretta 125 A-B

The progenitors,
the earliest Lambrettas - the 125 A and B - the scooters that established one
of the symbols in the history of personal transportation in 1947.



The first model
was conceived in Rome as early as 1944, at the home of Ferdinando Innocenti; it
had yet to be baptised as the Lambretta and was known simply as the
"Esperimento Tipo 0". After a full three years of research, trials and road
tests the Lambretta was finally ready to be introduced to the international
public; at the Paris Motorcycle Fair ,the new Innocenti product made its
official debut in the European scooter world.



Once again, this
monograph bears the signature of Vittorio Tessera, Italy's leading expert on
the Innocenti marque and the Lambretta in particular.



The book surveys
every version of these early Lambrettas, with chapters on technical details and
others more related to advertising and social aspects.
