SIP’s kick-starter project

Nostalgia – it ain’t what it used to be • Paul Green’s a little under the weather this month and we wish him a speedy return. Particularly as our old friend Bodger’s just turned up on the doorstep.

It’s time to rally round... • It’s been a frustrating two years, not just for riders but for organisers too

Busman’s holiday • Resourcefulness is a good trait to have, but when it comes to building a scooter it can have unusual consequences.

The Indian Lambretta Guide • While acres of paper have been devoted to Italian Lambretta production, the Indian factory’s activities have fared less well. This book is a notable exception.

Twelve months on SIP tyres • A year ago SIP sent us a selection of the company’s tyre range with the simple request that we test them. We gave them to four Cheshire scooterists and told them to have fun. This is how they got on.

Compulsory Basic Training Why to give a FIG for the BEST COPS • This month Tom leads us through the who, what, when, where and do you mind if I don’ts of the Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course.

Scooters India Limited • The SIL factory is now being demolished and its tooling dispersed. So ends the long and illustrious history of the Lambretta Grand Prix

Scooters India Limited That was then... • When Motor Cycle journalist Chris Myers tested one of the first SIL machines to arrive in the UK, his 1976 review was entirely predictable. However his description of the GP150’s standard equipment will raise eyebrows among connoisseurs of the marque.

Scooters India Limited This is now • Images of the Scooters India factory have always been hard to come by, but thanks to Manish Mittal of Uni Auto we can bring you a glimpse of what remained on the eve of closure.
