Lambretta GP Ts1 240
 
 
 
 

 

 Owner: Justin Searle 

Scooter Club: Maidstone Jesters SC 

Town/Country : Maidstone, England 

Scooter Model: GP200 

Engine: TS1 240 

Modifications/extras: The  scooter has been given what I'd call the  
Californian look (Back to my VW Beetles days) with all holes filled, panels, smoothed, toolbox door filled. It has been sprayed VW apricot by Interspray (no longer trading). The engine is an MBD TS1240 with steel liner, extra boost ports, widened transfers, Wiseco piston, Rotax crank, AF Ducati electronic (the original and the best) 
32 mil Dellorto flatslide carb (soon to be changed to Mikuni TMX 35 mil) and MBD Devtour expansion chamber. The scooter is also fitted with an MBD outboard disc, Scitsu rev counter, 18 Litre tank from Rimini Lambretta Centre and uprated Taffspeed rear shock. I have had the scooter Dynoed at Taffspeed and it produces 25bhp with a top speed of 101mph  

Current project: I am currently finishing off my Gilera/Lambretta project which has had all the work carried out by Frank Sanderson of Lambretta innovations. It is about to go into the spray shop any day now. I'm also collecting the bits together to have a TS1 250 motor built hopefully at the end of the year. 

Other scooters: Lambretta/Gilera 180, Serveta Rapido 225, Lambretta Suzuki 190 cutdown.
