    I broke all records for falling off one of these back in 1962/3 winter when roads had ice up till April. Learned to just step off and let it slide. Great little machine, took me all over and to work every morning and never failed to start and go.

    I`ve got my dads 1957 150 ld ,last on the road 1964 when I was born and my mother couldn`t hold two kids on the back so dad bought a car . Got all 7 tax discs from new, original bill of sale, fairing ,helmets, gauntlets,running board bag and seat covers same as yours. Stored in a dry garage since 64. Not been started for over 35years but engine still free. I will get it running one day!

    Drove one like that - the same color and model (150 Li) in1971 - had it for 2 years then sold and bought 175TV. Sold that one too in 1991. All services I did myself. Ilkied the most their sound
    Definitely worthy to restore but to make full dismantling some special tools are required. Good to get detailed workshop service book which once was available

    I too was from Southend on Sea..Also got my first scooter from there too NSU prima D for a staggering £3..then shipped it back to up to middlesex and rebuilt it was 15 at the time..
    I then went on to a Li150 bored out to 175...then put in an SX225 engine..that was good..Great days..now an old fart.. of 68...🤣🤣

      Ah...one old fart to another..l did touring Europe on my triumph 500 1973..(back in 1975..6)
      What a memory...even went down to the Canaries to see my mum...
      Holland too.
      Met some interesting people...had a great time..and had more hair..👍🤣
      That triumph never missed a beat..and was getting around 90mpg..at about 60..70mph..did Spain in 24 hours...wonderful experience...France not so hot...but better on bicycle...but that was later...
      All these old machines are great....even to work on.
      So have fun with yours.
