Welcome to Cambridge Lambretta, make sure you book mark us to come back and see us again. We have been carrying out some small updates to our site, this front page is new. We aim to give you small snippets of information here, so you might be able to find what you are looking for more easily.
We now use TNT for UK and overseas postage of larger items. Many parcels being sent overseas are vastly cheaper then with our last parcel company, so hopefully our visitors from abroad will benefit greatly. Also UK postage prices have been reduced to £9.95 for next day delivery in most cases.
Pricing Performance
We are always asked to price up performance engines, with so many choices its hard to do, so now we have a complete page dedicated to helping you choose what it is YOU want, and what you can expect from it.
Rear Exit Fuel Taps
Please be aware after having a number of complaints about the quality of rear exit fuel taps, we can confirm theses are NOT OUR TAPS. When buying from ebay or other sources please take care. There are a number of fast flow rear exit fuel taps listed on ebay that have come in from India. They are a poor copy, and they are NOT a fast flow tap. Further more, the sealing ring is not petrol resistant and more often then not fails very quickly, taps fall apart and break easily, and the nut splits due to being weak. We have tested the flow rate on these taps back to back with a standard tap, a "normal" fast flow, and our rear exit. It is alarming that these sellers are claiming (or being told) that these are fast flow taps, when quite frankly they struggle to give more flow rate then a standard tap. It further amazes us that companies selling these taps have not carried out this simple test themselves. Shocking to know you are buying parts that the sellers dont even know what the f@~@K they are! We have contacted all UK sellers of these taps as we hold UK design and copyright on a fast flow, rear exit fuel tap We spent many months of design and testing OUR taps, as well as strict suppliers manufacturing designs and processes. Dont be fooled by cheap prices, they are not as they seem.
Austalia
From North to South Australia, all on Lambrettas. If your interested in riding with them, well contact them. If not follow the journey online.
Oil Mix
We always get asked this! We suggest all Lambrettas will work on the following guidelines.
Mineral oil 4%
Semi or fully synthetic 3%
A standard tank holds about 7.9 litres, from bone dry to brim. Usually from going onto reserve, to filling up quite soon afterwards takes around 5 litres.
Use the handy oil jug below, which gives a 2% measure, and then simply put in one and a half times the measure on the side.

Super Monza
We are happy to report that the Super Monza will soon be in production in its full spec as developed and designed by Charlie Edmonds of Performance Tuning.
We have spent years testing this kit, we have also proved it by obtaining first place at the Alcarras 6-hour scooter race Feb 2011 in Spain. This was done using two road going scooters equipped with production Super Monza cylinders. Three riders on the first scooter, Charlie Edmonds, James Winter and Phil Bevis topped the chart with a Super Monza. For over thirty five years this race has been won by a Vespa, the Super Monza wiped the floor. A second Super Monza scooter ridden by Cambridge Lambretta owner Trevor, as well as Tony Beeton and Jim was the second Lambretta to cross the line, beating many other Lambrettas such as full group six race bikes, RB kitted machines and many more.
We have a mini guide on the history of the Innocenti factory, as well as the scooters and three wheeled vehicles it produced. Don't forget to visit our fun page as well, for downloads and interesting items. Take time to look around our site, sign our guestbook, and most of all enjoy your visit.
