The story of Lambretta in Great Britain is an interesting one. The UK was one of few places where Innocenti’s tube-framed Lambretta scooters briefly actually outsold the earlier pressed-steel Vespa. The men behind this success were father and son team Peter and James Agg. Undaunted by the Lambretta’s mixed reception when it arrived in 1949; they took a risk by buying several hundred machines while at the same time securing the concession into Britain.
