The Complete Spanner’s Manual for Lambretta - Forth Edition

The Complete Spanner’s Manual for Lambretta has been the go-to guide for running, riding, restoring and repairing Lambretta scooters since 2004. It is not only one person’s method, because Sticky gathered the information in the book from a range of Lambretta experts. As such, the Spanner’s Manual series often shows more than one way to do any task, depending on the available tools and skill level.

This 4^th edition builds on the previous book; adding 48 pages of new information covering a further eight years of Lambretta development. The text and layout are completely reworked.
