Bought this around 6yrs ago and did nothing with it ever since (life and all that got in the way). now life isn't in the way I've decided it should at least be fired up whilst I fix up the other three bikes (out of seven) ive got on the go. It has -150 LI- followed by six numbers on the frame.
The previous owner told me it was made in Spain.
The previous owner posted up a youtube clip with it running.

Can anyone tell me what model and year it was made, by looking at the pics? Is it the battery type?

Regards

If its got LI 150 on the frame then thats the model of the frame, have you checked the engine case no to see if it matches?

If Spanish then its an Eibar LI150 special I think.

Judging by the curve of the rear bodywork, it's the earlier model (Series 2 if the headlamp turns with the handlebars).

Looking at pics online, it appears that the Eibar version had a mudguard that pivoted with the wheel, unlike the fixed mudguard on the original Innocenti version.

Yep series 2 Li 150 by the looks of it. As said it could be the Spanish version if it has the separate front mudguard. I've got an early 62 Series 3 at the back of the garage that I restored years ago. Must get it out .
