The Lambretta Model C and its LC variant were the Innocenti scooters of 1950 and 1951, between the open Model B and the Model D. The Model C refined the basic Lambretta concept at a widely affordable price. The LC, whose letters stand for Lusso, meaning luxury, added integrated bodywork and a leg shield for everyday, weather-friendly use. The change matters because riders wanted protection from the weather, and the closed scooters proved far more successful than the open ones. The timeline of Italian models gives the pair a short production run from 1950 to 1951, after which the D and LD models followed.
