Mortons Books Lambretta Myths and Legends Edizione posteriore

Ever since the start of Lambretta production, stories have
circulated around many aspects of what is one of the
world’s most famous scooter brands ever. Anything from
how each model was designed and built to how it was promoted
to the public, leaving a trail of intrigue and mystery. Theories have
built up among enthusiasts as to what happened at the factory
in Milan and why, but it goes a lot further afield than that. The
characters behind the Lambretta and those who promoted it all
helped to create an even more incredible story.
More than 50 years have passed since the last one rolled o
the production line and many of the tales persist. The problem
is, as time marches on, they become ever more exaggerated and
embellished in their retelling. This has resulted in much confusion,
obscuring the truth from those who attempt to find out what really
happened. Like any period in history, if you look hard enough, the
facts are there no matter how deeply they might be hidden, and the
Lambretta story has many of them.
This book aims to dispel some of those myths and reveal the
truth about what actually occurred. Many stories can be explained
by those who made them happen or by genuine documents that
reveal the truth. Some tales and rumours are still unexplained, but
hopefully this publication will jog the memories of those who can
help solve the remaining Lambretta myths and legends.
