Latin America in the continent American Lambretta found good acceptance in the market especially in South America, and a vast market with a great need for robust and economical vehicles just like the Lambretta. Since its inception, the Lambretta found home in the distant mainland as a batch of Lambretta 2000 125m (A) remained unsold was exported to Argentina, where they were sold in a short period. INNOCENT in the south American continent, with the help of licensees was present in four countries, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Colombia. In Argentina and Chile was the SIAM which oversaw the construction of the Lambretta, while in Brazil there was a Lambretta SA and Colombia was the AUTEC (Auto Technology Columbia) to take care of construction of the Lambretta scooter.
Argentina
After this first experience to be able to sell the D and LD in those distant countries, INNOCENTI he signed contracts with local producers to produce his scooter license. Since 1950, factories produced the first Argentinian SIAM is Ld and D, nicely renamed Siambretta. With the arrival of the series Li, SIAM also got the chance to build up the glorious Li Mk2 license since 1960. As happened in other markets, the parent granted the construction of the 175 TV series, in fact this model was produced by SIAM well technically and aesthetically poorer than the original. The TV products in Argentina were very similar to those produced at Eibar in Spain by the local licensee, such as this one had the rotating wing, but never received the disk brake of the Mk3, but something happened to the English. Given the distance of the American continent from Italy, SIAM carry out the task of supplying the Lambretta produced in its factories surrounding countries such as Chile and Uruguay. The marketing of Siambretta in those countries was made acting reassembly of disassembled scooter sent, although of lower costs of production and transport. Around 1970 lines Siambretta closed and only a few years were purchased by a private individual who is focused on building a three-wheeled vehicle powered Lambretta, very similar to those produced by the two licensees in India premises. This updated model in the aesthetic is still in production, in different versions. In the long history of productive SIAM stands out among all the particular version of a Lambretta scooter designed shortly before 1970, taking advantage of the chassis versions riccolegarsi Li came back to the old style of economic C and D. Devoid of hulls and mechanical view.
Brazil Brazil
The heat was another great market INNOCENT was able to conquer with the map of agreements with local companies for the construction of scooter license. In the case of Brazil was the Lambretta SA, a company that was formed precisely for the construction of vehicles INNOCENT. The production left in the '50s with the legendary D and Ld, with the necessary technical and aesthetic modifications than the Italian models, and also to handle more accurate and cost sourcing from local producers of certain components. In 1960 Lambretta SA changed ownership and became known as Pasco. In the same year the Lambs gave the award to the various licensees around the world to build them very valid Mk2, Pasco also passed to the new model that was a great sales success. Even for them there are small differences in technical and aesthetic, while retaining the classic lines of the Li INNOCENT Mk2 with big front fender attached to the front. With the arrival of the 70s, Lambretta Brazilian cosmetic refurbishment, it was a nice job rejuvenation, although starting from the Li Mk2 chassis, they tried to approach the slender lines of the Italian Mk3. The front shield was made narrower and was featured a new grille very similar to those of the TV special, the front fender to the front while remaining cohesive was greatly reduced in size, the handle was of the special series. The slimming treatment involving especially the sides and rear, removing the boards and placing a small lighthouse in place of those used by the INNOCENT. The coffins were similar to those of the Special, but without chrome trappings and even these were somewhat reduced in size. This particular Lambretta named XXXXX was a kind of TV 175, with a style by COUTO-DOWN, not refined and rich is still a nice rendition of a scooter, no longer young. At the dawn of the '90s as well as other companies that still building the licensees INNOCENT Lambretta after the closing lines in Milan. From
