90 superb original colour photographs Brief background history of the company Full story of the LI series. Basic specification and statistics Quotes, and interesting facts and feats Introduced as a more stylish and versatile alternative to the popular and practical Lambretta LD series, the LI was produced by Innocenti in various guises from 1957 until the last Lambretta's of all rolled off the production line in 1971. The LI series scooters were the most popular Lambrettars of all - the machines that people of a certain age remember affectionately from their youth, coming in a range of bright colours and with shiny chrome. The LI Series was a fast-selling success for Innocenti - not just in its native Italy, but also throughout Europe and elsewhere in the world.

Innocenti Lambretta The Definite History

By Vittorio Tessera, one of Italy's most important scooter collectors.
If you only ever buy just one book on Lambretta then this must be the one. Beautifully illustrated with colour contempory, as well as origional photo`s, for once it is the original black and white shots which really shine. The quality of printing and paper is more than up to the job and the result is a feast for the eyes.
It is the thoroughness and depth of knowledge that informs the text which elevates the book from being merely nice to look at, into an invaluable reference work that repays its rather high price every time you pick it up.
The sections on the development of Innocenti into an industrial giant is informative and lively, but it is when Mr. Tessera gets to grips with the scooters that form the spine of the book and each model is investigated in depth, which when combined with the photo's means you need never get stuck with a 'factory fresh' restoration again.
Only very occasionally does the translation from Italian to English get a bit sticky and the sections on the factory prototypes are just amazing.
In conclusion the only criticism is that it is so complete a work that its hard to see how there is any room for further works of a similar standard.
The second issue comes bundled with the Restoration Guide.
