1967 Lambretta Li 150 Series III NYPD Special
Frame # 742,902
Engine # 813,061
This is a genuine Innocenti Italian Lambretta from 1967. It is not one of the more common Spanish Serveta police scooters. The NYC Police frame numbers were outside the accepted production run figures (i.e. the highest VIN number for a Li 150 Ser 3 on several websites is listed at 742,962,
although one does list 743.096.
Lambretta Concessionaires UK were the people who brokered the deal on the NYC Police scooters, and the deal came just as the GP was being launched, and the factory started having worker disputes. From our experience, where we have had dozens of NYC Police scooters, the scooters supplied were a mixed collection of whatever could be supplied. Li 150s, SX150s and even some GPs. We have had Li 150s with SX engines and GP bodywork.
This particular Li 150 Series III is an early NYC Police scooter, and is complete and normal as per a normal Li 150 Ser III with the exception of the SX Style headset. The SX Headset is the surest way to tell a normal Li 150 apart from a NYPD Special Li 150. They all had SX headsets."
Additional Facts: The NYPD used Lambretta scooters from 1968 to 1982
NYPD vehicles were green & white from 1938 to 1973
