The fascinating story of the Milanese scooter par excellence concluded
with the Lambretta DL-GP series.
This book looks at all aspects of this special scooter: its history, its
technical evolution, its sporting victories, with a specific chapter
devoted to the British market, which more than any other took the DL to
its heart and still today considers it to be the pinnacle of Innocenti's
production.
The last model produced by Innocenti had been developed at the famous
Bertone design centre in Turin which, with a few but substantial
modifications managed to breathe new life into the Lambretta, making it
even more sporting and elegant, sophisticated and modern. With a curious
black splash on the leg shield, the new model soon became a best-seller
on the crowded international scooter market.
It enjoyed enormous success in Great Britain, being transformed into a
cult object for the most sporting and demanding scooterists. More than
fifty years after its launch, its styling is still modern and the model
is still very popular with scooterists all over the world.
