To celebrate the end of lockdown and being able to get out and about with our scooter friends again, I had some great GP merchandise to give away to a lucky reader! The contest has now closed and we can reveal that the winner was Marc Gibbins from Littlehampton! Marc actually owns a red GP, much like the one on the t-shirt, so is looking forward to wearing it and reading the book.

Please note, this post contains affilliate links where I may receive a small commission if you buy something as a result, at no extra cost to you.
History of the Lambretta GP Book
The first part of the prize is scootering expert Stuart Owen’s new book, the latest in his series on the different Lambretta models, The History Of The Lambretta Grand Prix. With in-depth details on the birth of this classic scooter, numerous photos, tech details and more, it’s a must for any GP fans.


Lambretta GP T-Shirt
And if you’re a fan of the GP then what better than a t-shirt featuring your favourite scooter? From our friends at Crusader, and available on the scooter t-shirts website, the second part of our prize is a men’s medium t-shirt. It’s a lovely sky blue colour and features a red GP and classic Lambretta black stripes.

What a scooter the GP is. Iconic of the later scooters a great reminder of that nice time in our lives. A kinder time perhaps. Let’s all be kind. We are all inclusive young, older. Women, men. gay, straight. Black, white. Let’s talk about people not sub groups. Relight the faith!

My favourite is the SX200 Probably Nostalgia as i remember like yesterday being green with envy in 1967 when a wealthy businessman’s son appeared on one, it was on great Yarmouth north parade., we all had used Lambretta’s mine a 150cc silver special pacemaker 64 reg it was tatty but i Loved it. We all marveled at the electronic ignition on the SX plus the speed it would accelerate etc. 🚀💛 HAPPY CAREFREE DAYS in 1967 the SUMMER OF LOVE with flowers in your hair. 🌹🌹
My first scooter was an SX200 and they must be high on popularity list but, currently I ride a lovely old LD150, their a plodder and a definite eye catcher, it’s an LD for me.
Love the classic lines of the series 3 TV’s.
