My dad preferred to sell the "larger" engine models. They had less than 10 horsepower, I recall. They were shipped via ocean freight from Italy and each scooter arrived packed in a heavy wooden crate. When you opened the crate, you saw that the scooter was packed in large pieces and "some assembly" was required. Not hard to do...I put quite a few together and also assembled boat trailers...and I started doing that at 11 or 12. I used to drive the "demo" Lambretta around the boat yard...much too young to drive on the roads. Also drove the jeep around and my dad's Model A Ford "crane" truck. |
