Cool

It reminds the old brand "Mobylette" in the 60s/70s "La Rouille" and "La bleue" (my grandparents did have a "Bleue" )
For non French speakers > Bleue means Blue in English, and Rouille means Rust, those were the popular name due to their color)

There is a TV series in the UK about a motor auction. I remember this one https://www.mathewsons.co.uk/auction/lot...?lot=10777 where a no-so-wonderful specimen fetched £900
For serious money, Lambretta's in good condition go for 1000's

Mobylettes are a dime a dozen in France... unless you aim for somewhat rare models such as the one above with its trailing link fork

Breaking out : it remind me when my wife was using a orange-white motobecane get to her work. Once she came home with a loud noise : the exhaust was broken.

That is cool, I never thought there were so many types/models and differences between same model over the years.

And when you check the maintenance manuals, you see that there are subtle differences within the same type such as various suppliers for the saddle or the headlight...
