MODEL HISTORY
The Lambretta Li Series was introduced by Innocenti in the late 1950s as a successor to the earlier “LD” models. By the mid-1960s, Lambretta had become a household name in the world of scooters, rivalling Vespa as the symbol of stylish, affordable personal transport.
The Li 150 Special was launched in 1963, positioned as a sportier and more refined version of the standard Li models. It featured cleaner lines, updated styling, and performance improvements that appealed to younger riders and the booming scooter culture of the 1960s. The Special retained the proven 150 cc two-stroke engine, offering a balance of reliability and agility, while Innocenti introduced subtle upgrades such as improved carburation and revised gearing to make it livelier than its predecessors.
Visually, the Li 150 Special distinguished itself with slimmer side panels, squared-off horncast, and a more modern look that set the tone for later Lambretta designs. It became especially popular with the Mod movement in Britain, who embraced Lambrettas for their customisation potential and cultural statement.
Production of the Li Special models continued until 1969, when they were eventually replaced by the SX range. Today, the Li 150 Special is regarded as one of the most iconic and desirable Lambrettas, prized by enthusiasts for its blend of style, history, and connection to 1960s youth culture.
