"the making of" Be here now by Oasis, with a red Lambretta owned by Noel Gallagher.
This was the former home of Victor Lownes, the head of Playboy Clubs in UK until 1981.
Lambretta was a line of motor scooters originally manufactured in Milan, Italy, by Innocenti.
Deriving the name Lambretta from the small river Lambro in Milan, which ran near to the factory, Innocenti started production of Lambretta scooters in 1947 - the year after Piaggio started production of its Vespa models. Lambrettas were manufactured under licence in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, India and Spain, sometimes under other names but always to a recognizable design (e.g. Siambretta in South America and Serveta in Spain).
Along with the Vespa, Lambretta was an iconic vehicle of the 1950s and 1960s when they became the adopted vehicle of choice for the UK youth-culture known as Mods. The character Jimmy from the influential scooter movie Quadrophenia rode a Lambretta Li 150 Series 3.
