Vittorio getting stuck-in to an engine at the BSSO race at Lydden
A week or so ago we asked SLUK readers for questions to put to Vittorio Tessera in a SLUK video interview, and we had a few too many responses to be honest.
The result is that we’ve split the interview over 2 parts; the first of which is below and covers:
- The remaking of Lambretta frames forks & links
- How remade frames may be used/legalised
- Product testing
- Transmission options
VIDEO PART 1
For those of you unfamiliar with Vittorio Tessera, he has an extensive history not only with Lambretta, but in all sorts of scooters. He has undoubtedly the world’s finest scooter museum housed above his business near Milan where the exhibits tell the story of the scooter from its origins in WW1 through the classic period to the 1970s.
Vittorio is a capable engineer and restorer who was trusted by the Innocenti family to look after many Lambretta prototypes. He also rescued many of the original drawings from the factory when it was being closed so his Lambretta archive is second to none. As a result Vittorio has written some of the best books on the history of the marque.
Through his restoration business he established Casa Lambretta to remake unavailable parts, but this business has recently expanded to include the Casa Performance line of tuning parts.
In the next episode we ask Vittorio more SLUK reader questions about:
- New Casa products and their adaption
- Scooters missing from the museum
- What is the latest museum acquisition
- His next book
Tune-in next week for the second part.
Original Innocenti drawings will be used to remake replica Lambretta forks, links and frames.
