cuttsie 1,091 #2 Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) I remember getting my first (lambretta tv175) scooter when i was 17 in about 1974 for about £50 from the Empire Garage on empire road.the freedom it gave you was great . I had a lambretta many years ago the reg no was 426 RRB. Imagine my suprise one day on Penistone Road following a Daimler Sovereign with the same reg no. I wonder if the no is still around.
