GENERAL INFO

The 36B Lambretta Scooter & Sidecar was released in February of 1961, in a NEW MODEL C box. The picture shows a red model with some yellow on it and lines underneath. A second C box would replace it, depicting a smaller model that also seems a bit lower, and no lines underneath. Both boxes have the NEW MODEL on end flaps.

The D1 and D2 show the turquoise model. Note that the end flaps added the word “scooter”, which wasn’t present on C boxes end flaps.

All boxes are size 3.
