C model and D model

What is your favourite scooter of all time?

For the year 1950, a completely new design was introduced, the C model which was the first Lambretta to be constructed around a tubular steel frame. On the C, the front wheel was held by forks and trailing-arm suspension was fitted with the springs sitting forward of the forks. Tyre size was increased again and the overall result was a much better ride. The D model, introduced in late 1951 also had a tubular frame, but with different to the C in that its engine was able to move, with torsion bar rear suspension.
