I think the best YPVS Lam in the UK is this site in the finished rebuild section.

OK, so in a nutshell you will need to graft the front chassis of a Lambretta to the engine cradle of an RD. This is what my chassis looks like:  As for the body parts you can fit as many or as few as you want! |

No its not!
I am currently fitting a Lambretta engine into my LC.
It should turn a few heads (probably the other way)
It will be completed as soon as I have paid the overdraft off
on the NOS instrument upper cover.

Some want to lynch me, others want to pat me on the back, either way, I have a YPVS 350 Lambretta generating somewhere in the order of 64 BHP (which is approx. 30 BHP more than a hi spec tuned Lambretta) & I love it!
And if it weren't for my association with this site I would never have ironed out all those gremlins so thanks to all in 'RDLC Crazy' land!
