It’s a ride that’s often discussed in pubs and bars around the UK, taking your Lambretta scooter back to its birth place in Italy.
Many have done it over the years, and we discovered some history of a mid-60s record-breaking Lambretta here on Scooternova previously.
But the first to be awarded an acknowledged record for the ride was one Harold Rowell from the Isle of Man did the first run from London to Milan in 22 hours 42 minutes on a TV 175 Series 2. As the advert pictured here shows, it looks like Castrol lubed his way across Europe!
One day it’ll be my turn this is a must do on my bucket list
I want to do this! I’m looking for a series 2 (Li150) in running and mostly original condition.
Good luck on your search and we might see you in Milan! SN
Done it, it’s great and a must do. Do it, you won’t regret it.
Thanks Kerry. We’re looking forward to a repeat of 1997 next year!!
