If I get back there, I'll take a few pictures and post them, but that will
be a while.

Mike,
I am interested in pictures of the 3-wheeled scooter! When you will do
them, please, keep us informed. Thank you!
Perhaps, you will be interested in knowing that after WWII, in the 40's
early 50's, an Italian scooter manufacturer, the Innocenti, made a lot of
3-wheeled scooters with small two-stroke engines. They were used for
transport of all type of merchandise, as you can imagine the postwar years
had a terrible need of transportation...
The Innocenti is famous for the manufacture of the Lambretta scooter with
various two-stroke engines. I did have one when I was a teen-ager!
Last year at a Old Car show, here in Naples, I saw one of them (the
3-wheeled one!) very well restored: as far as I know this is the only
example in the area!
Regards and thank you again for the pictures!
Get Them Rolling!
