Lot 217: 2003 LML (Vespa) 125cc 125 Star
Collectors' Motorcycles, Bonhams (19th October 2008)
As the production of the ‘original’ two-stroke Vespas diminished in Italy in the face of growing EC Environmental concerns, so the importance of the Indian-built LML “Star’ version of Piaggio’s 1970’s P Series machines has increased. They are faithful to the original, often using interchangeable components, have electric start and, in fact, exceed the Euro 3 emission standards. There are those who claim that they are better-built than the Italian equivalent as well. This example of the drum-braked ‘Star’ has sustained slight and easily-repairable damage, seen in the photograph, to the offside. A low-mileage example, recently placed on SORN it will represent a good-value purchase for the Vespa enthusiast. It has a V5C and will need a check-over.
