Authentication letters

We provide DVLA accepted authentication letters to enable you to obtain an age-related plate for your Lambretta or Vespa scooter. The letters cover Lambrettas built in the main manufacturing countries for Lambretta of Italy, Spain and India (and we can also supply letters for Lambrettas made in France, Germany etc). The letters also cover Vespa scooters built in Italy, Spain, France, India and Great Britain.

Should you require a letter of authenticity for your Lambretta or Vespa please send your frame and engine number, Lambretta/Vespa model, and a cheque or Postal Order for £8 made out to BRITISH LAMBRETTA ARCHIVE and send (along with your details) to: British Lambretta Archive, 95 Grove Road, Blaby, Leicester, LE8 4DH. Alternatively, you can pay via Paypal by making your payment to: soulie66@aol.com

Ideally we'd like a frame rubbing or digital photo of the scooters frame number, however, this is not essential. If you send a photo then please ensure that you also write down the frame number. Badly taken photographs result in misreads of the frame number and an inconvenience to both the BLA and the applicant when letters need to be changed.

All letters come with a sheet detailing what you need to do next in order to register your scooter (Insurance, MOT etc.), ensuring that you are in possession of all the information you'll need to get on the road.

We look forward to hearing from you and helping you to register your scooter.

If you have any questions then please e-mail us at BLAAuthentications@hotmail.co.uk

Please note that the turnaround time for letters of authentication is 21 days (though they are often done well before that).
